#it's kinda telling how the ice king/simon has the potential to be actually a threat once you remove the madness

[deconstructthesoup]

The Ice King in OG Adventure Time: Kooky, crazy, definitely got some evil tendencies due to the constant string of kidnapping princesses but is usually played for laughs and is easy to defeat

Me: Haha, classic kid's media antagonist, he's never gonna be scary

Simon in the beginning of Fionna and Cake: Starting to relapse a little, snaps at people almost irrationally, acts pretty off-putting and almost threateningly towards Fionna and Cake when they first appear, fucking kidnaps Choose Goose in order to summon Golb and outright says that he's nothing but a spell battery to him ("and you probably still have one good jolt left in you")

Me: Oh... oh wow

The Winter King: is an actual psychopath underneath all the glitter and charm, knowingly cursed the Candy Queen and gave her all of his baggage and shows zero remorse, either killed Marceline or froze her and created an ice double who is very likely kept docile and imprisoned

Me: OHHHHHHH MY GOD
