So, the whole thing is out already. Spoilers from the last Stakes episode inside the tag:
! "Everything stays" lyrics were a huge spoiler of where the plot was leading, I guess. But even if it was intentional, I feel really underwhelmed by all of this leading to pretty much exactly the same place where it all started. Bubblegum is PB again, Marceline is a vampire again… supposedly some small things changed as the music says and that makes the whole difference, but I fail to see how this actually changed the two girls (even though both of them were verbal about it, Marceline now and Bonnibel back on the regular episodes).
! So, yeah, after watching the whole thing I am not sure I like how it all turned out (sure we got a lot of background for Marceline, but it was background related to something that never mattered. We still didn't got anything on her "past that matters" like her friendship with PB).
Oh well, at least we got some Ice King time. And as weak as fart jokes are, I honestly cried from laughing during the "mouth fart" scene
! Yeaaaaah I was remarkably underwhelmed at how everything kinda returned to the status quo but at least it kinda sorta made up for itself preemptively by having the whole Vampire King speech about trying to escape the wheel of fate and so on (which also encompassed Marceline returning back to a vampire in a remarkably odd weak/bland way). Soooo I guess the point is that fate it inevitable or something? shrug
Regardless, I am kinda bummed out that we still ended up with more questions than answers in this whole thing. Not to mention, I STILL have no idea what the Vampire King meant by Marceline not paying the price for having all the powers or something. Not to mention I have no idea what the repurcussions would be by having sucked the up the Vampire souls (it doesn't seem they effected her much…if at all ever since she killed them a long while ago). I kinda wish we learned a bit more about the vampires even thought the Vampire King DID give away a SMALL bit about what they're about. But now that they're all killed off again, I doubt we'll probably get much more about them...at least not any time soon which is a shame since I LOVE the Vampire King.
