This plot, if we can call it that, is just a catalyst to pushing these characters towards self-betterment. While the story takes after the Adventure Time finale, it’s preoccupied with the past. When Marceline is called into action to save a city from a monster she defeated once before, the past is dug up and old wounds are re-opened. While the first instalment in the Distant Lands series treated us to a stand-alone BMO prequel, here we follow Marceline and Princess Bubblegum as they’ve settled into their romance and begun sketching out a life together. Distant Lands: Obsidian picks up several years after the events of the Adventure Time finale. With that in mind, go watch Adventure Time if you haven’t already, and thank me later-it’s a real treat.įor those, who’ve already seen Adventure Time and want to know if Obsidian is worth the effort, let’s dig in. It’s a companion piece in the truest sense. It isn’t something you can hop into without prior knowledge of the series that preceded it. But I’m not going to do that for one key reason- Distant Lands: Obsidian isn’t self-contained. Typically, I’d give you a quick rundown on Adventure Time, the characters and the story, for the sake of the uninitiated reader. But what about the sequel that retroactively improves its source material or our appreciation for it? Distant Lands: Obsidian-part II in the follow-up series to Pendleton Ward’s Adventure Time-is exactly this kind of sequel. A great sequel may even surpass the original in many ways. A good sequel is a worthy successor to the original.
