Adventure Time: Distant Lands: Obsidian (2020)
Season 1, Episode 2
5/10
Super boring and cringe
22 March 2023
Ok so if you're an OG adventure time fan and enjoyed the portrayals of both Princess Bubblegum and Marceline in the original series then I'm sorry to inform you but you won't be getting none of that in obsidian, the way these characters are displayed in obsidian is as if they have both lost 70% of what made them unique in the first time, remember that Anti-villain Princess and that Goth Vampire chick, yeah imagine both of them as regular normal people trying to make a relationship work, that's essentially what this is, Thayer no longer unique individuals, it honestly feels like the writers purposely downgraded their personalities to make it easier to write them into a relationship because otherwise it makes no sense, how can they all of a sudden be super happy with each other after 100s of years of an unstable relationship, strait up makes 0 sense.

Secondly the romance feels like it was written by a 9 year old, it's full of super cheesy and cringe lines and I found myself having to pause a lot to not die from cringe.

In conclusion if you enjoyed PB and Marcys old personalities then don't expect much from Obsidian, they're both fragmented versions of their previous interpretations, it's sad, it's disappointing and it's bad character development, what a way to make two characters terrible.
