“I finally get to you and I’m not even trying.” Man that line hurts so goddamn much. Simon and Ice King’s entire millennial of existence has been entirely devoted to looking for Betty and the one time in his life he’s no longer looking for her and he finds her but can’t do anything to help her
Well that's terrifying. Lich, an entity that seems to never die, be imprisoned or defeated in adventure time, is almost painfully imprisoned in one episode. We got trouble.

In all fairness I don't think it was per sae to bond but more to sympathize with the Lich the Lich is clearly not taking his circumstances well and he's not bothering to hurt Simon so the least Simon could do is try to help him a little in relating to his circumstances both drove to accomplish their goals but got not satisfaction by the end of it in this case Simon is trying to move on while the lich is here praying frantically asking what was at one point some sort of astral baby deity of chaos what he should do now that he accomplished his goal or I suppose why he wasn't satisfied in doing all that for the previous golb heck in all his praying he didn't seem to ask why he didn't get a reward for doing all that implying he essentially did all that of his own accord and now he's complaining why he didn't feel satisfied at the end of it I don't know what he was expecting but we see what happened to him
The Lich saw the terror inflicted as a consequence of Golb's almighty power and assumed that was the point; that it twisted souls, uprooted worlds, and consumed the fabric of existence because it wanted to. He let the trauma of witnessing these horrors consume him, thus to save his own mind, he told himself a story. If the god of Chaos wanted disruption, then he would see it through. Who knows? He could even be spared. That was his error, the arrogance to think that chaos has the will to be cajoled. For believing madness to be anything more than pure mindlessness. At the end, all his pretense and grandeur was a coping mechanism for witnessing the wisdomless world, and for that he facilitated his own end. What a Last Scholar indeed.
the way I see it, the lich was to be an agent of chaos; where he went, he did create chaos by trying to extinguish all life since he was opposed and thwarted again and again But here? he succeeded. In his victory, he destroyed all life, and as a result.... there could be no more chaos at all. Ironically, by succeeding in his mission, he failed his master.
@@thorveim1174 I get that, but here's the thing. The idea that a god of chaos would *_want_* to bring their chaos into the world is actually a self contradictory concept because desire itself is an orderly phenomenon. People don't want things for no reason. There's a cause and effect, and in light of this the way I read the madness exuded by Golb is as existence without wisdom. Phenomena without understanding. Things that just happen and shake the foundations of reality regardless of what anybody wants or whatever came before. An absolute void of meaning. Such a thing that one must learn to live in defiance of in order to have a complete life without being consumed by despair. The Litch failed to do this, which is why he ended up destroying himself in the end.
I don't know why the Lich thinks death everywhere equals chaos. Death leads to stillness, to silence, to absence of motion. Wouldn't that be the opposite of chaos?
I like the theory that the continuation of life is emblematic of the order brought by the other deities like Prismo and the Cosmic Owl. All their jobs (wish granting, dream observing, god auditing) seem to center around maintaining some level of balance and sustainability in the show's multiverse---the order to GOLB's chaos. But you're right, it seems like he was ultimately mistaken, since working towards any sort of goal is antithetical to pure chaos.
@@PaintraSeaPeaThere was another show from the 90s where a chaos god set a medusa spell on everyone to turn them to stone and reveled in their panic as everyone was panicking and trying to save themselves. It wasn’t until the hero told the villain “it will be silence and the same forever” did the villain realize what would happen and they stopped the medusa spell and saved everyone 😂
Simon: The Crown! Where am I? The Lich: _…you scattered the darkness that laid before your eyes and, flapping your wings, you whirled about, and from this world, created pure light._ Simon: Hey, Lich! What did you do to my spell, huh?! The Lich: _Great Embodiment of Chaos, hear me! For ages untold, I studied your ways, devoted my existence to you. I strove to be your vessel on the physical plane, to build mountains of bodies in your honour, to extinguish all life, and in my universe, this I achieved! But it gave me no satisfaction… in succeeding, I lost all purpose._ Simon: I know what you’re- The Lich: _WHY?! WHY MUST THIS BE?! _*_HEAR ME, GOLB!!!_* Simon: GOLB?! The Lich: _Seven brains in heart, seven hearts in brain. Seven brains in heart, seven hearts in brain. Seven brains in heart, seven hearts in brain…_ Simon: Betty, are you in there? Even a little? I finally get to you when I’m not even trying. I-I’ve wanted to see you again for… _so long-_ The Lich: _…strong in sleep but must never awake. Strong in sleep but must never awake- No! _*_No! NO! ANSWER ME!!! WHAT MORE COULD I HAVE DONE?! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME NOW?!_* GOLBetty: *t e t r i s*
You know, if Simon found an unprogrammed crown and asked to separate Betty from that thing or even create a clone of her minutes before her sacrifice, he could save her.
You can't unscramble an egg, dude. Getting Betty INTO the embodiment of chaos is one thing, Golb was already eating her. Getting her out isn't going to be nearly as easy.
Betty is now one with Golb, it can’t be undone. Just like how Golb eating people permanently erase them from existence that people like Prismo can’t bring them back, Magic man and Simon wish to get their love one back resulted in nothing but a basket ball trash bag appearing as the wish. Golb is higher lvl of power that the Crown or Prismo wish can’t affect him in terms destroying him or bring back victim of his
the lich ignores the betty side of golbetty when speaking to them, and simon ignores the golb side of betty when speaking to them, and that's where they both screwed up.
Well, that does explain those green things on globes head So that means all of those are really versions of the Lich, trapped in those pieces around golb’s head.
No it's not only the Lich who had been made a tetris block but other Scholar Entities that work for Gold that's why the Lich said "he was the last Scholar ship of Gold"
@@ikowski2947 Well there are more Liches across the multiverse, so as long as one variant of the Lich exists, Golb will always at least have one scholar.
One thing that confuses me is if the Lich's knowledge runs across realities, and his presence is everywhere. Are all these versions that the Lich just feels scream out and stop? Is it like a piece of him that just dissapears?
Knowing how all powerful eldritch abominations work the Lich is still very much alive in there, unable to move, unable to speak, unable to die, there he will be until the end of this universe and maybe even the end of the next.
@@BATTLESOFRAP He is meant to always lose. Golb created both good and bad to combat each other. To thrive on the chaos that takes place. A good Lich will constantly be beaten and rise again, never to succeed
After countless lifetimes of servitude and undying dedication, the way the Lich is just, unceremoniously dispatched into permanent silence.. i know this is a cartoon but... that's heavy.
Yeah pretty much but then there's a good chance that the other versions died as well goulb have the power of erasing you from every universe by quite literally eating one version of you so there's a good chance Betty/goulb kill the Lich in every reality( hopefully not he's a Great villain)
@@endtrap101if golb ate the lich, then the lich gets erased but golb simply turns him into a tetrix block. I have a theory of Golb turning a version of lich into a block of tetris for each lich to complete their objective. But that's just my theory
If only the prime Lich and Farmworld Lich learned their lesson about taking too much lives!!! Just like what Oogway said in Kung Fu Panda 3: “The more you take, the less you have.”
What was the Lich's prayer to GOLB? EDIT: Big Thanks to SgtBrutalisk below, who has commented that the first prayer is actually a Greek Hymn from Orphism, related to the primordial deity Phanes: _"Ineffable, hidden, brilliant scion, whose motion is whirring, you scattered the dark mist that lay before your eyes and, flapping your wings, you whirled about, and throughout this world you brought pure light."_ This let me find out about the other part, which I think is original: _"Seven brains in heart, seven hearts in brain, seven brains in heart, seven hearts in brain, strong in sleep but must never awake, strong in sleep but must never awake."_
I like to think there is a universe where lich is still the lich he just isnt hellbent on destruction and just kinda hangs out and makes people shit their pants whenever they FAFO.
nah. Both the lich and finn are a constant state of good and evil in the multiverse. That's why even the wish finn made where the lich not exist doesn't work. Lich will eventually come into fruition and become the evil in the universe and finn will always be the one who stops him
The Lich was one of those villains we never really understood, and given to what we know now, I almost feel bad for him. I don’t think he’s gone, because his head was still intact, his skull is just sitting inside that Tetris cube. I’d love to know what’s inside those other cubes. Given The Lich Islas the last scholar of Golb, I wonder what the other scholars were, and what they looked like? 🤔
Bro i cant believe I started rooting for the lich .... When he started yelling at his master and his anger started pouring out i was like He finna turn super sayian and blow a hole in golb . But now hes playing tetris.
That's exactly why the Lich was confused and depressed after having his wish granted. Destruction may cause chaos, but when everything is destroyed chaos is no longer chaos
I interpret the void as being the ultimate form of chaos. Everything and anything can exist in the darkness, but without things like time and matter, those things can't physically exist. Think of it sort of like a cosmic blank canvas. Sure, nothing is on it, but because nothing is on it, that means anything and everything can exist on it all at once.
I wonder if Betty as Golb killed the Lich bc he was finished with the assignment or bc she doesn’t care a bit. I want 2 imagine it’s the latter bc Golbetty being a completely new individual has a lot of implications on what Golb means 2 the universe,
I hate to say it but this moment makes the Lich look less like a undefeatable monster and more like a giant suck up. He claims that he succeeded in creating mass extinction in Golb's honor, in reality he didn't really kill anyone except Billy, he just got some 2 dimensional space genie to commit mass genocide for him
I like to think this isn't even specifically a Golbetty thing, and that every single time a Lich manages to reach Golb, they do that to him. All of those blocks are individual Lichii.
I think the lich is a joke from golb. The lich's existence is cruelly ironic, he tries tirelessly to achieve his scheme, but once he does, he loses all purpose. He will never know satisfaction or peace. He exists in an endless cycle of exhaustion and disappointment. He's proof golb has a very good sense of humour.
Think I remember hearing how Betty has no thought over herself or something but the more i see it its more that Golb is gone because every scene of hers you can detect certain emotions This scene she's disappointed in Simon When he tells her he's going to put the crown on she's angry When she's defending him from the scarab she's being mischievous with him And when simon realizes what he's done she's content
the finale was amazing, but my one nitpick was what they did with the Lich. i feel like they could have explored more about the relation between simon and the lich and not defeat him so easily
Well considering how THE LICH screamed in pain and showed fear I hope he died Because the alternative is literally being a sentient Tetrix block that is probably in constant pain and Agony for all eternity Those are my best guest what do you think?
@@spinozilla2421maybe that why golb sealed the lich away like that… despite him being evil and could end his existence across universes, maybe he needed to be kept alive for the sake of maintaining the universes balance
Lich is so literally dark psychological warfare using parallel universe through back in time, to embody chaos and more devious deeds. Farewell, Lich aka Slade
The fact that his prison form is meant in itself to be an insult is hilarious. A being a wanton destruction and worshipper of chaos transformed into a puzzle piece meant to be part of a greater whole. It also shows how "insulted" Golbetty felt at his hubris statement "what do you want from me" like an entity of that level could ever want from such an inconsequential being. I wonder if that's what every lich's greater failing was to think that chaos was a sentient force with desires and plans that it could appease through its small tyrannies.
I never thought we’d see a force powerful enough to kill the Lich. He’s been subdued many times before, but this is the first time he is straight up killed.
it wouldve been nice if the lich stick to his guns and was actually satisfied with what he did since he scolded finn stating how he knew who he was. and becoming a tetris block was the endgame for him as if it was his heaven.
Gotta say, this is a perfect ending to the Lich's story. To know that no matter what, even if he somehow manages to succeed in his relentless and patient pursuit of universal extinction, he will just end up making himself miserable in the end. Sweet P really was the best fate that the Lich could have hoped for, even if he himself refuses to acknowledge it.
The lich was nothing more than a complete fool who mistakenly got the wrong idea about chaos and has caused nothing but trouble for the good people in the adventure time series in the end he got what he deserved.
notice in adventure time that the lich can't actually be killed (because the lich is not alive), only transformed into something else. an evil spirit possessing a snail, a princess, a great hero, a dog, an amputated hand, the spawn of life and death. everytime the lich is defeated, he just seeks another vessel to continue his work, a "ceaseless wheel" as he calls himself, always working towards his objective of universal extinction, the total annihilation of both life and death.

Well, it's better to be in good terms with that kind of people
In all fairness I don't think it was per sae to bond but more to sympathize with the Lich the Lich is clearly not taking his circumstances well and he's not bothering to hurt Simon so the least Simon could do is try to help him a little in relating to his circumstances both drove to accomplish their goals but got not satisfaction by the end of it in this case Simon is trying to move on while the lich is here praying frantically asking what was at one point some sort of astral baby deity of chaos what he should do now that he accomplished his goal or I suppose why he wasn't satisfied in doing all that for the previous golb heck in all his praying he didn't seem to ask why he didn't get a reward for doing all that implying he essentially did all that of his own accord and now he's complaining why he didn't feel satisfied at the end of it I don't know what he was expecting but we see what happened to him
The Lich saw the terror inflicted as a consequence of Golb's almighty power and assumed that was the point; that it twisted souls, uprooted worlds, and consumed the fabric of existence because it wanted to. He let the trauma of witnessing these horrors consume him, thus to save his own mind, he told himself a story. If the god of Chaos wanted disruption, then he would see it through. Who knows? He could even be spared.
That was his error, the arrogance to think that chaos has the will to be cajoled. For believing madness to be anything more than pure mindlessness. At the end, all his pretense and grandeur was a coping mechanism for witnessing the wisdomless world, and for that he facilitated his own end. What a Last Scholar indeed.
You added a lot of positive emotion that wasn't there.
the way I see it, the lich was to be an agent of chaos; where he went, he did create chaos by trying to extinguish all life since he was opposed and thwarted again and again
But here? he succeeded. In his victory, he destroyed all life, and as a result.... there could be no more chaos at all. Ironically, by succeeding in his mission, he failed his master.
@@thorveim1174 I get that, but here's the thing. The idea that a god of chaos would *_want_* to bring their chaos into the world is actually a self contradictory concept because desire itself is an orderly phenomenon.
People don't want things for no reason. There's a cause and effect, and in light of this the way I read the madness exuded by Golb is as existence without wisdom. Phenomena without understanding. Things that just happen and shake the foundations of reality regardless of what anybody wants or whatever came before. An absolute void of meaning. Such a thing that one must learn to live in defiance of in order to have a complete life without being consumed by despair.
The Litch failed to do this, which is why he ended up destroying himself in the end.
I don't know why the Lich thinks death everywhere equals chaos. Death leads to stillness, to silence, to absence of motion. Wouldn't that be the opposite of chaos?
I like the theory that the continuation of life is emblematic of the order brought by the other deities like Prismo and the Cosmic Owl. All their jobs (wish granting, dream observing, god auditing) seem to center around maintaining some level of balance and sustainability in the show's multiverse---the order to GOLB's chaos. But you're right, it seems like he was ultimately mistaken, since working towards any sort of goal is antithetical to pure chaos.
❤ 2:05
@@PaintraSeaPeaThere was another show from the 90s where a chaos god set a medusa spell on everyone to turn them to stone and reveled in their panic as everyone was panicking and trying to save themselves.
It wasn’t until the hero told the villain “it will be silence and the same forever” did the villain realize what would happen and they stopped the medusa spell and saved everyone 😂
@@koishikomeiji4082 ahh reboot, such a underappreciated show
It's worst than chaos and order, it's indifference... The opposite of every existence is the void
“WHY? WHY MUST THIS BE?”
“HEAR ME GOLB!”
The entity’s name itself is even hideous and gives me shivers
Simon: The Crown! Where am I?
The Lich: _…you scattered the darkness that laid before your eyes and, flapping your wings, you whirled about, and from this world, created pure light._
Simon: Hey, Lich! What did you do to my spell, huh?!
The Lich: _Great Embodiment of Chaos, hear me! For ages untold, I studied your ways, devoted my existence to you. I strove to be your vessel on the physical plane, to build mountains of bodies in your honour, to extinguish all life, and in my universe, this I achieved! But it gave me no satisfaction… in succeeding, I lost all purpose._
Simon: I know what you’re-
The Lich: _WHY?! WHY MUST THIS BE?! _*_HEAR ME, GOLB!!!_*
Simon: GOLB?!
The Lich: _Seven brains in heart, seven hearts in brain. Seven brains in heart, seven hearts in brain. Seven brains in heart, seven hearts in brain…_
Simon: Betty, are you in there? Even a little? I finally get to you when I’m not even trying. I-I’ve wanted to see you again for… _so long-_
The Lich: _…strong in sleep but must never awake. Strong in sleep but must never awake- No! _*_No! NO! ANSWER ME!!! WHAT MORE COULD I HAVE DONE?! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME NOW?!_*
GOLBetty: *t e t r i s*
You know, if Simon found an unprogrammed crown and asked to separate Betty from that thing or even create a clone of her minutes before her sacrifice, he could save her.
Crown magic isnt strong enough I think
You can't unscramble an egg, dude. Getting Betty INTO the embodiment of chaos is one thing, Golb was already eating her. Getting her out isn't going to be nearly as easy.
@verycoolname9404 or its like mixing blue snd red play-doh. Once you mix thrm together it's practically impossible to seperate them.
Betty is now one with Golb, it can’t be undone. Just like how Golb eating people permanently erase them from existence that people like Prismo can’t bring them back, Magic man and Simon wish to get their love one back resulted in nothing but a basket ball trash bag appearing as the wish. Golb is higher lvl of power that the Crown or Prismo wish can’t affect him in terms destroying him or bring back victim of his
@germojo it is the crown that fused them so the crown probably could divide them
the lich ignores the betty side of golbetty when speaking to them, and simon ignores the golb side of betty when speaking to them, and that's where they both screwed up.
The Lich, bringer of death, suffers a fate much worse. How poetic
Well, that does explain those green things on globes head
So that means all of those are really versions of the Lich, trapped in those pieces around golb’s head.
actually i was thinking that it wud be the other primordials
No it's not only the Lich who had been made a tetris block but other Scholar Entities that work for Gold that's why the Lich said "he was the last Scholar ship of Gold"
@@calixtopinugu4191It might mean that now the last scholar of golb has joined the Golb, there's no more scholars left
@@ikowski2947 Well there are more Liches across the multiverse, so as long as one variant of the Lich exists, Golb will always at least have one scholar.
One thing that confuses me is if the Lich's knowledge runs across realities, and his presence is everywhere. Are all these versions that the Lich just feels scream out and stop?
Is it like a piece of him that just dissapears?
Knowing how all powerful eldritch abominations work the Lich is still very much alive in there, unable to move, unable to speak, unable to die, there he will be until the end of this universe and maybe even the end of the next.
Like Porkey Minch in the Safe Capsule in the Earthbound Series, or Kars in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
Like AM from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
I like how when the Lich sheds Billy’s skin and is essentially himself in totality, there is a patch over where his heart is supposed to be.
God, what I find terrifying is that there is LITERALLY nothing where GOLB resides. Just nothingness and GOLB. That's it.
Nothingness, Golb and *T E T R I S.*
1:47 I like the little detail of The Lich actually fighting back Golbetty sealing even tho he didnt last too long.
I never get tired of seeing the Lich get defeated
He is kid. Of sympathetic to he did everything because he thought he would feel accomplished but he felt empty
@@BATTLESOFRAP He is meant to always lose. Golb created both good and bad to combat each other. To thrive on the chaos that takes place.
A good Lich will constantly be beaten and rise again, never to succeed
@@SeveralRatsEachWithArcanePoweranother fun fact, hard to say theory, are all the other textures cubes lichs?
I would assume the blocks are not liches but rather other disciples of Golb.
1:39 How is bro spitting💀
I think he is spitting fire.
After countless lifetimes of servitude and undying dedication, the way the Lich is just, unceremoniously dispatched into permanent silence.. i know this is a cartoon but... that's heavy.
Dam, so the Lich (atleast this one) is now just a simple shape in Golbs orbit
Yeah pretty much
but then there's a good chance that the other versions died as well goulb have the power of erasing you from every universe by quite literally eating one version of you so there's a good chance Betty/goulb kill the Lich in every reality( hopefully not he's a Great villain)
Nah he still alive because Fionna and Cake is decades before "Together Again" where the Lich (SPOILERS WHOOPS)
@arcanumz8352 wait what
@@arcanumz8352 oh yeah- but (SPOILERS WHOOPS) is technically a different Lich
Like a copy of a copy, if that makes sense
Well I think
@@endtrap101if golb ate the lich, then the lich gets erased but golb simply turns him into a tetrix block.
I have a theory of Golb turning a version of lich into a block of tetris for each lich to complete their objective.
But that's just my theory
maybe the scholars of glob rewards is to transcend into block that orbit around him
If only the prime Lich and Farmworld Lich learned their lesson about taking too much lives!!!
Just like what Oogway said in Kung Fu Panda 3: “The more you take, the less you have.”
What was the Lich's prayer to GOLB?
EDIT: Big Thanks to SgtBrutalisk below, who has commented that the first prayer is actually a Greek Hymn from Orphism, related to the primordial deity Phanes:
_"Ineffable, hidden, brilliant scion, whose motion is whirring, you scattered the dark mist that lay before your eyes and, flapping your wings, you whirled about, and throughout this world you brought pure light."_
This let me find out about the other part, which I think is original:
_"Seven brains in heart, seven hearts in brain, seven brains in heart, seven hearts in brain, strong in sleep but must never awake, strong in sleep but must never awake."_
@@O-Pato-Vinha-CantandoVery good of you to point that out.
1:18
seven brains in the heart, seven hearts in the brain x4

It appears to be an ancient Greek hymn.
@@SgtBrutalisk Oh Shit! Nice, good find!
I like to think there is a universe where lich is still the lich he just isnt hellbent on destruction and just kinda hangs out and makes people shit their pants whenever they FAFO.
thats just sweetpea lol
Sadly no, all liches are the same
nah. Both the lich and finn are a constant state of good and evil in the multiverse. That's why even the wish finn made where the lich not exist doesn't work. Lich will eventually come into fruition and become the evil in the universe and finn will always be the one who stops him
The Lich was one of those villains we never really understood, and given to what we know now, I almost feel bad for him.
I don’t think he’s gone, because his head was still intact, his skull is just sitting inside that Tetris cube.
I’d love to know what’s inside those other cubes. Given The Lich Islas the last scholar of Golb, I wonder what the other scholars were, and what they looked like? 🤔
Same,I wonder if there other scholars besides lich
I have a terrifying feeling he's going to wait at the opportune moment and take over golb lol
-What do you want from me now?!
-Your silence.
Bro i cant believe I started rooting for the lich ....
When he started yelling at his master and his anger started pouring out i was like
He finna turn super sayian and blow a hole in golb .
But now hes playing tetris.
The funny thing is, Golb is the embodiment of chaos... why would he want there to be nothing?
That's exactly why the Lich was confused and depressed after having his wish granted. Destruction may cause chaos, but when everything is destroyed chaos is no longer chaos
I interpret the void as being the ultimate form of chaos. Everything and anything can exist in the darkness, but without things like time and matter, those things can't physically exist.
Think of it sort of like a cosmic blank canvas. Sure, nothing is on it, but because nothing is on it, that means anything and everything can exist on it all at once.
At least Billy can finally rest, what's left of him finally gone from the Lich.
You know how godlike inteligence Evergreen has that he created a perfect device to influence even to Golb with a Wish
GOLB really did say “can you stfu” in the most brutal way possible.
watching adventure time since school days, never thought i see someone be fearless and even overpower the lich like that.
Lich: WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME NOW?
Golb: Tetris
I guess, for Golb to have things to eat, it doesn't need agents of chaos all the time. Order and disorder are needed equally
After looking back finn and the lich share the same moment of shedding their skin in sadness/anger it's insane
I wonder if Betty as Golb killed the Lich bc he was finished with the assignment or bc she doesn’t care a bit. I want 2 imagine it’s the latter bc Golbetty being a completely new individual has a lot of implications on what Golb means 2 the universe,
My guy got turned into a Tetris block ☠️📲
The Lich: “WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME NOW?!?”
Golbetty: “…Tetris…”
Nyarlathotep mouthing off to Azatoth.
This is more like Cthulhu against at Azathoth.... nyarlatothep is like a grandson or son for Azzy!
@@zombieman333 I chose Nyarly because of his 'destroy humanity' angle
@@marcusc9931Yeah, Nyarly is more fitting when talking about Lich

Ayo this series is the worst trip of acid you could have...
We haven't seen Fionna and Cake's Lich, maybe she might be season 2's big bad. If we get a season 2.
They might not have one, considering their world was separate from the multiverse
it is now@@LokiToxtrocity
@@true_burdenbruh4700 yea but it wasnt connected when the lich spread himself across the multiverse.
no. The lich only worked so well here because he wasnt the villain.

Almost feel bad for the Lich. This also makes me wonder if all those floating shapes are also people.
My head cannon is that golbetty have been busy trapping all lich hands
@@mercenariosmechaghost9579 Right. I almost forgot Farmworld counter Lich is literally everywhere in the connected multiverse.
@@TempestGhostmeaning there's 2 liches for every universe now.
Nah. Just the wankers
I hate to say it but this moment makes the Lich look less like a undefeatable monster and more like a giant suck up.
He claims that he succeeded in creating mass extinction in Golb's honor, in reality he didn't really kill anyone except Billy, he just got some 2 dimensional space genie to commit mass genocide for him
You do not make demands of an Elder being. That way lies...unintended results.
I like to think this isn't even specifically a Golbetty thing, and that every single time a Lich manages to reach Golb, they do that to him.
All of those blocks are individual Lichii.
I think the lich is a joke from golb. The lich's existence is cruelly ironic, he tries tirelessly to achieve his scheme, but once he does, he loses all purpose. He will never know satisfaction or peace. He exists in an endless cycle of exhaustion and disappointment. He's proof golb has a very good sense of humour.
Still won’t be getting over how they soft changed his motivation to just be him doing it for a higher power instead of just doing it.
Think I remember hearing how Betty has no thought over herself or something but the more i see it its more that Golb is gone because every scene of hers you can detect certain emotions
This scene she's disappointed in Simon
When he tells her he's going to put the crown on she's angry
When she's defending him from the scarab she's being mischievous with him
And when simon realizes what he's done she's content
"By succeeding, I lost all purpose."
and then he became a tetris. funniest shit i have ever seen.
A theory: The new Tetris pieces around Golbetty’s head are Liches from other universes that have succeeded and found her.
0:39 “Sir this is a Wendy’s”
Its still sad and creepy to me to see lich still wearing billy's decomposed corps after all these years..
Think of it like this, Billy was powerful enough to become a spirit meaning he is at peace even though his body was taken
I can't help be feel satisfaction seeing the Lich finally meet his end
the finale was amazing, but my one nitpick was what they did with the Lich. i feel like they could have explored more about the relation between simon and the lich and not defeat him so easily
So all the other Tetrix blocks are also Golb's phrophets ? And does they died yet or just being sealed ?
Well considering how THE LICH screamed in pain and showed fear
I hope he died
Because the alternative is literally being a sentient Tetrix block that is probably in constant pain and Agony for all eternity
Those are my best guest
what do you think?
@@endtrap101im guessing he lived given, we know Golb can perma kill someone to point it erases all version of them
@@spinozilla2421maybe that why golb sealed the lich away like that… despite him being evil and could end his existence across universes, maybe he needed to be kept alive for the sake of maintaining the universes balance
i wonder what happened to farmworlds lich
@@level3personal690 he tried to control new death
I like the imagine the skull is still alive inside, eternally trapped screaming but never heard. Maybe its the same for every tetris piece?
Lich is so literally dark psychological warfare using parallel universe through back in time, to embody chaos and more devious deeds.
Farewell, Lich aka Slade
Life has a certain brand of chaos and to destroy all life would put an end to that sort of chaos.
This scene right here makes him much more complex
Seeing the lich, one of the most powerful characters in Ooo, just get down and pray after being faced with GolBetty is kinda funny
The fact that his prison form is meant in itself to be an insult is hilarious. A being a wanton destruction and worshipper of chaos transformed into a puzzle piece meant to be part of a greater whole. It also shows how "insulted" Golbetty felt at his hubris statement "what do you want from me" like an entity of that level could ever want from such an inconsequential being. I wonder if that's what every lich's greater failing was to think that chaos was a sentient force with desires and plans that it could appease through its small tyrannies.
life itself is the most chaotic thing possible
death... is just silent, and boring
I never thought we’d see a force powerful enough to kill the Lich. He’s been subdued many times before, but this is the first time he is straight up killed.
This just shows how stupidly powerful GOLB is
The presence of the crown and glow behind his head makes Simon look like the depiction of a saint
Golb works in mysterious ways
it wouldve been nice if the lich stick to his guns and was actually satisfied with what he did since he scolded finn stating how he knew who he was. and becoming a tetris block was the endgame for him as if it was his heaven.
you can still here lich scream while hes in the tetris block faintly...
they arent dead...Their her prisoners...
He'll be back, he always comes back.
Gotta say, this is a perfect ending to the Lich's story. To know that no matter what, even if he somehow manages to succeed in his relentless and patient pursuit of universal extinction, he will just end up making himself miserable in the end. Sweet P really was the best fate that the Lich could have hoped for, even if he himself refuses to acknowledge it.
I guess even monsters have gods, too
1:39 i like how you can see spit leaving his mouth despite the fact hes a skeleton.
“I wish for the power to keep Simon safe.”
I like how Simon tried to talk no jutsu the litch
I always thought after the Lich made his wish, he achieved athiestic nihilism
God Ron Perlman is such a good fucking actor...
I don't think Golbetty killed the Lich more like trapped him in their prison
0:25 Hey! Lich! What did you do to my spell, huh!?
Tell us you’re begging for attention without telling us you’re begging for attention
@@thehunt3rs_you’re begging for attention without telling us you’re begging for attention
The lich was nothing more than a complete fool who mistakenly got the wrong idea about chaos and has caused nothing but trouble for the good people in the adventure time series in the end he got what he deserved.
1:36 answer me what do you want from me now,
Golb Betty: i want you to shut up once and for all
notice in adventure time that the lich can't actually be killed (because the lich is not alive), only transformed into something else. an evil spirit possessing a snail, a princess, a great hero, a dog, an amputated hand, the spawn of life and death. everytime the lich is defeated, he just seeks another vessel to continue his work, a "ceaseless wheel" as he calls himself, always working towards his objective of universal extinction, the total annihilation of both life and death.
Does this also mean that he just take the form of the tetris block and didn't die, just got isolated from everyting for the rest of eternity?
“It gave me no satisfaction. In succeeding I lost all purpose. WHY?! Why must this be? What more could I have done? What do you want from me now??”
Little did Lich know that his move to spread into every multiverse ended up into multiple torture of losing in every universe anew.
