      I’ve always thought this, especially since Neddy is nowhere to be seen during the elementification period. Bonnie’s “tower form” actually looks very similar to Neddy, which implies he fused with her (and potentially any other parts of the Mother Gum). Bonnie is merely the most dominant aspect of the Mother Gum in the moment so hers is the face that takes control of the greater being. It really makes the most sense that the MG is the candy elemental because it prevents any flaws in the story such as Neddy’s whereabouts and Bubblegum’s lack of power awareness.

    I think that looking at the mother gum as a force of "good" vs. the oozer's "evil" is a bit rudimentary. Within the context of that universe, I think the mother gum is more of a force of that era's candy elemental, which represents "sweet" both literally and figuratively.

    I think the mother gum is trying to spread her influence in whatever way she can. As soon as she interacts with Simon and Marcy, a little pink guy is seen in Simon's pocket. And just like the Lich snail we see this little guy scattered across scenes. I think shelby and their little brother might also stem from the mother gum since they can be cut and still live and regenerate.

    I think the mothergum was a combination of chewed gum and the DNA of the chewers. Think about it. People chew gum, the DNA of the saliva comes into the gum, the gum is stuck under a chair, in between central heating, under tables, you know: all the places where people put their gum. Than after the bomb all these different pieces of gum melt into each other, forming the mother gum, but all original pieces still have their own DNA, meaning that the mother gum consists out of different pieces, all with their own mind. If this theory is right, this might mean there once was a non-bubblegum version of pb, that chewed gum and put it under a table during a boring class in highschool.

      Honestly, each offshoot the Mothergum sprouts might be some kind of amalgamation of multiple different individual's DNA.
      It would explain why PB has all kinds of crazy mood swings, going from wacky and kinda air-headed to locked-in and serious at random times, why sometimes she expresses the utmost love for her subjects, and at other times treats them as nothing more than lab rats to run experiments on. Why she typically talks with accentless English, but switches to German in specific situations, typically minor expletives or exclamations.
      She's a bunch of personalities from a bunch of former humans all jammed into one being.

    I think Princess Bubblegum, as you said, was a force of good -- order -- but, she's more of a depictions of *absolute* order: control. It's a theme often explored when heroes/villains often go to the extremes of maintaining order over everything else, so much so it becomes villainous.
    A good example of this is Dr. Fate (Nabu) in the Injustice 2 games. Instead of helping the regime, he switches sides because Braniac represents the ultimate form of order -- which Nabu, the spirit of the helmet of Dr. Fate, represents and supports as a Lord of Order

It seems like Neddy might have died at some point too, judging by the state of the Candy Tree in Lemonhope and Come Along With Me. But maybe that was why PB packed everyone up, maybe the candy people really can't survive without Neddy's juice so she put everyone in stasis until she could find a solution. The landscape certainly seems to slowly get more toxic in the future too, Ooo looks very dead in Graybles 1000.

    I remember in the episode where PB asked Finn and Jake to find the Banana guard who paints on the wall, and in one scene we see he depicts the formation of the candy kingdom as well as PB herself on a wall painting . At the start of that wall, theres a comet or meteor hitting the earth which maybe hinting to the creation of bubblegum or the mothergum. Theres no proof to say that the banana guard in that episode can know for sure how PB came to be but it can be that the writters wants to hint that the mothergum maybe comes from a meteor, making them an alien race, or its a catalyst comet which brings a life form onto earth that will greatly affect it. As far as we know PB has a pretty big impact on Ooo, she created several Kingdoms, no one talks ab it but beside the Lemon kingdom, theres a very high chance she also create the breakfast kingdom and maybe hotdog kingdom, there is literally no other food lifeforms on Ooo so i doubt that those Kingdom came to be on there own.

    One of the things I wish they would completely flesh out is Bonnie and her complete past and the mother gum, my own theory was something happened to the mother gum or Bonnie couldn’t find her way back to it when she wanted family members, I assumed that she made her 3 family members from scratch, but that seems unnecessary when the mother gum could have given her some, seems crazy that netty and Bonnie were the only 2 to spawn from the mother gum, so it makes it all the more interesting on what exactly happened to the mother gum

    I have an odd theory but I need an idea of the timeline.
    What if the mothergum is sone offspring from the heroic catalyst comet when it was a pink glob thing?
    We know that the lich comet hit but was dormant until the bomb released him. There's no telling how much time had passed between then and the heroic comet's arrival. Perhaps enough that the heroic (Finn) comet landed remotely around that time and reincarnated a few times then after the war and lich's release mix with some mutating gum birthing the mothergum whose heroic DNA leds it to do good.

    what if the beings coming from the mother gum were meant to represent different aspects of personality traits. Like PB is the scientific mind, she does all her experiments to test her knowledge and understanding of things without regard for the possible effects they could bring. Kinda along the line of doing things to see if she can without thinking about if she should, not necessarily evil but reckless/indifferent in her quest for knowledge. And Neddy is fearful infantile innocence, when confronted with unfamilar things he looks for comfort in the same ways a baby does, he seeks physical safety and nurses

    • @paxw37
      @paxw37  Рік тому +13

      I agree. In fact, I don't even think Neddy was supposed to be born. I didn't realize it until after I made this video, but if you look when PB falls from the Mother Gum, she leaves a sort of pigtail looking thing on the top of her head. And when Neddy falls, he has the same pigtail looking thing on the bottom of him. I think they were supposed to fall together but somehow PB separated from Neddy. Also if you look at the Mother Gum when it shows all the faces, Neddy's is the only face upside down.

    I'm pretty aure the mother gum comes from the Elementals. The liquid that comes out of Neddy is the exact same as the one that comes out of PB's hand after she learns how to use her elemental pow. Also, worth to note The mother gum and PB are very similar to the Slime kingdom and Fire kingdom. Like, compare PB when she was "born" and Slime princess versus the past elementals of candy and Slime. Even before Patience we still had ELEMENTAL KINGDOMS, which didnt exist back then. I think the elements went back to their original and less humanized forms after the mushroom bomb, and then slowly evolved to what we have today. With the exception of Ice.
