In order to rectify his mistake, he heads to find the Vampire Queen to help him slay the monster that he accidentally released. The Glass Kingdom has been besieged by an ancient dragon (that Marcy and PBubs once slew) due to the actions of a young Marceline super fan, Glassboy (Michaela Dietz). But as much as we could have enjoyed a whole sweet sitcom starring the two gal pals, their peaceful life isn't long-lived. Fans of the lovers will get a lot of joy from the domestic bliss they share in their new woodland cottage home. Obsidian feels far more settled in the established world of Adventure Time, which seems intentional as we're revisiting two of the most memorable characters in Marcy (Olivia Olson) and Bubblegum (Hynden Walch).Īfter the massive battle at the end of the original series, the pair are living a quiet and idyllic life together far from the wars, monsters, and trauma of their former lives. Brewster was also behind the first Distant Lands entry, BMO, which showcased experimental animation and crafted a sci-fi Western epic that felt both fresh and deeply indebted to the stories which had come before. Miki Brewster (Steven Universe) takes supervising director duties here and, along with the rest of the team, creates another impressively layered world. Beginning in the newly introduced Glass Kingdom, we get an immediate dose of the surreal technicolor fantasy that has always made Adventure Time stand out. Interestingly though, the story is so well constructed that even people who have little to no understanding of the characters prior to coming in will be able to enjoy this fantastical romp about aging, falling in love, and settling down.

What? Oh yeah, this 45-minute episode continues the story of Marceline and Princess Bubblegum, who shared a groundbreaking kiss during the finale of the show, officially cementing one of animation's most heated ships in Adventure Time canon. Obsidian could easily be enjoyed by hardcore fans of the animated series, or brand new viewers who've always wanted to live their best lesbian cottagecore lives. Continuing the legacy of such a lauded show is a rough proposition, but so far the HBO Max Distant Lands specials are balancing the task perfectly.
