WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! If you haven't watched last night's "Come Along With Me," the final episode of Adventure Time, don't read any further!
Adventure Time wrapped up last night, in what is sure to be a bittersweet moment for fans of the quirky, colorful fantasy show. The series, which started in 2010, completes an eight year run that leaves a huge mark on Cartoon Network, children's programming, and the world of animation in general. As is appropriate for a series finale, several fan favorites received screentime showing heartfelt sendoffs for their characters. And though they will all matter to die-hard fans of the series, one sendoff is particularly moving.
It's long been speculated that Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen would end up together, and last night's episode confirmed this theory. The standout moment for this confirmation came during the heat of battle against the evil GOLB. When Princess Bubblegum appeared to have been killed, Marceline raged as only someone who had lost a close loved one could. When Princess Bubblegum reveals herself to be alive, Marceline kisses her. Later, as the sad-but-sweet "Come Along WIth Me" theme plays, we see Marceline and Bubblegum enjoying a movie together, clearly as a couple.
