Things from the “Obsidian” Trailer
So, the “Obsidian” trailer just dropped, if you haven’t seen that already, and I went through lookin’ for clues and fun little details. I’ve compiled a list, along with some screenshots. If you want to avoid spoilers, LOOKETH AWAY!
Ok, let’s get started.
Aww, look at ‘em! I love that Bubblegum’s cup says “BOSS” and Marceline is drinking red tea. The synopsis says that they’re living together, so this is presumably post-finale. Oh, the questions: Are they living together? What happened to the Candy Kingdom? Where are Finn and Jake? What are they building? (It looks like Ikea instructions.)
This next scene is really similar to that opening shot from “Stake Her Back” that featured Simon and Betty baking a pie. I think the visual language here is pretty clear: PB and Marceline are quite happy living together. Nothing can go wrong, it seems........
Sad Marceline. Also, haha, she’s wearing her own merch (which her dad bought for her in “Marcy and Hunson”). Also also, this scene is giving me Hanna K. vibes. I might be off here...
So, this is presumably the location of the Glass Kingdom before it was formed? Was it created by nuclear weapons, a la the Fire kingdom? (There is, after all, an atom bomb with graffiti that says “gone fission.” That’s a good joke, btw.) That’s obviously li’l Marceline there, but who is the other person? Simon? Her mother?!?! Oh, the mystery...
Marceline is really cool you guys, pt. 1. These transformations definitely give me that “Varmints” feeling.
Marceline is really cool you guys, pt. 2. I love that little bat decal! (Bats are very sweet, intelligent, and misunderstood critters.)
THE MORROW! What is it carrying? Have we seen these before?
This is presumably the location of one of the worst moments in Marceline’s life. It looks like an old bank vault. “STAY INSIDE” is scrawled on the top right corner.
Here’s another shot, presumably from the vault. What is going on here? Marceline doesn’t appear too bummed by the skeleton, but the whole thing feels very sad. There are little kid drawings up on the wall, along with a horribly ominous “DON’T LOOK BACK” sign.
Queue the water works. Something big is gonna drop, and I’m guessing it has to do with her mother.
And finally, there is this pic, which is the thumbnail of the vid, but it isn’t actually featured in the video itself. Bubblegum appears in her “medieval” getup, so my guess is that this might have been the first time the two met one another. Marceline has got a pretty punk rock look that reminds me of her appearance in “Everything Stays.”
I think this episode is gonna be great. There are so many bits and pieces that I’m looking forward to! Is there anything else that you all noticed?
