Caption: Karen Kresge in “Rhythm America”

Booklet Description: KAREN KRESGE Among the big show's many stars is the "Sugar and Spice Girl," Karen Kresge, caught by our camerman [sic] in mid-air, as she performs her "Rhythm Americana" number. Karen was recruited into the show after winning the city figure-skating championship in her native Cleveland, Ohio. Management of the Follies carries on an unending campaign to keep its ranks filled with eye-catching young skaters, because young men from coast to coast are constantly snatching them from the ice rinks into the bonds of matrimony.

"One night after a performance of Victoria Regina, Ruth Gordon was with Helen Hayes in her dressing room. The two of them were going to a party and stood before the mirror inspecting themselves. Almost of a size, delicate and bright-eyed, they looked utterly charming but utterly unspectacular in their chaste dinner dresses. As they were leaving, Joan Crawford joined them--sleek and lovely in a white turban, dazzling diamond ear clips, and a white ermine coat that plunged in unbroken magnificence from her chin to the floor. Leading the way, Miss Crawford's blazing, ermined presence swept from the dressing room. Miss Hayes took a final look in the mirror, sighed, shrugged, and, beckoning Ruth Gordon to follow, murmured, 'Snow White and her two dwarfs.'" — Therese Lewis

Mortal Folly Review

Princess Bubblegum has a vision of The Lich. It seems like she checks on him regularly. She decides that Finn and Jake are ready to learn about and see The Lich. They’ve proven themselves worthy over the course of these two seasons, and all the references to past episodes “Mortal Folly” dishes out helps make this feel like a culmination of everything that’s happened. We also get our first of many alternate Finns that foreshadow the loss of his arm. Finn even puts Billy’s gauntlet on his right arm later in the episode. Bubblegum gives Finn and Jake gems that protect them from The Lich’s mind control. We see Finn’s hair has started growing back since cutting it in “To Cut a Woman’s Hair”. I love the attention to detail of Finn’s hair slowly growing and how that helps the audience track in-universe time. 

All the gems of power must have the mind-protection ability, as Ice King wasn’t controlled by The Lich, presumably because of his gems. PB should really have a mandatory screening before allowing anyone near such a grave threat. The snail comes out of Finn’s backpack and The Lich compels it to break him free. It’s cool that a background easter egg finally gets to be super plot relevant. If you weren’t paying attention to the snail, this scene may feel a bit cheap. But, if you have been aware of this ever-present snail, this is extra rewarding. This little snail’s actions end up causing profound consequences that are STILL being felt 12 years later.

This gives the writers a chance to build on “His Hero” and expand Billy’s backstory. Billy stopped The Lich originally, trapping him in the amber prison. If Billy has a normal lifespan, what was The Lich doing for the hundreds of years after he was unleashed from the mushroom bomb, but before Billy was born? And why would Princess Bubblegum build her kingdom around The Lich’s prison? I think it makes more sense for Billy to be long living, like Bubblegum is. She must have met Billy before. We NEED a flashback story exploring these events. 

Bubblegum takes Finn and Jake to the “other secret room”, which is the same secret room from “The Enchiridion!”, complete with the return of PB’s orb. Princess Bubblegum gives Finn Billy’s (awesome looking) gauntlet. It has six fingers, just like Billy, and we get the return of the “Billyyyyy” scream! This is the most serious we have seen PB up to this point. She gives Finn a sweater, saying it will protect him from the cold. It’s weird she doesn’t tell Finn she made it immune to fire, which must be its true purpose. It’s PB’s most affectionate moment towards Finn and Jake that we’ve been privy to so far. 

Ice King unexpectedly butts into this episode, wanting Finn and Jake’s blessing to marry Princess Bubblegum. Of course, Finn and Jake would never agree to this. It’s also weird to want Finn and Jake’s blessing, like if they are Bonnie’s parents. But, this is Ice King we are talking about. I’ve heard people be annoyed at Ice King’s constant interruptions in this episode. I don’t mind it. We are supposed to be pissed at him for constantly getting in the way of Finn’s chase after The Lich, just like how Finn gets increasingly frustrated. It’s also worth pointing out that if Finn simply told Ice King the fate of the world was at stake, he likely would have stopped getting in his way. Ice King’s appearance here really feels like the series passing the torch from Ice King to The Lich as the main villain. 

I like Finn and Jake acknowledging that this is their first “fate of the world deal”. It really helps make this feel like their biggest, most important adventure yet. Bubblegum stress eating the ice cream candy person is funny, and the second episode in a row where we see PB consuming candy for her biomass. 

Finn and Jake run past the gauntlet dock they built in “Business Time” and to the Lich’s well of power. The episode doesn’t say it, but you can tell that The Lich’s power comes from the mushroom bomb. The green clouds in the title card and in the episode itself are shaped like a mushroom cloud. The well of power is set in the ruins of a human subway. This must be where the mushroom bomb detonated. The green mushroom clouds have an absolutely metal design, bravo to Ian Jones Quartey for designing them. Finn and Jake fight what must be human skeletons and Finn loses his backpack. They confront The Lich as he consumes the radioactive, mutagenic essence of the mushroom bomb. The Lich terrifyingly shatters Billy’s gauntlet with just a shush. It’s a shame, the gauntlet is really cool. It’s interesting that in one shot, The Lich’s pupils resemble the shape of the green catalyst comet (I will die on the hill that “Evergreen” doesn’t contradict The Lich’s origins!). 

The Lich blasts Jake, who falls down, breaking Finn’s gem. We get our first of The Lich’s iconic mind monologues. This chill inducing scene really speaks for itself. Like Finn, you almost feel The Lich in your mind. PB’s sweater shields Finn from The Lich’s blast. Finn isn’t quite comfortable enough with his emotions to call it love, but his feelings for Bubblegum are strong enough to snap him out of The Lich’s trance. Finn fights The Lich head on and tie’s the sweater through his sockets. It’s a super dark but creative way to fight The Lich, even Ice King and Bubblegum are shocked. I also just realized how gross it is that he wears this sweater again next season. I really hope he washed it. The Lich just finds this funny and laughs, making this scene even creepier. Finn is able to rip out The Lich’s skull, defeating him. This scene holds up as the best Lich fight and of the best fight scenes of the series.

Completing Ice King’s transition away from main villain, he decides to set Bubblegum free. Unfortunately, he accidentally drops her in the well of power. Is this just another random, purposefully shocking ending that won’t be followed up on or is this a cliffhanger setting up for a two parter? Well, you know the answer, but it’d be a legitimate question for a first time viewer. 

“Mortal Folly” is both the most important and best episode of the first two seasons. It introduces Adventure Time’s main antagonist. The Lich is one of the most iconic cartoon villains ever and is the scariest and best of the bunch. His design of an undead, rotting corpse makes for a design that is almost as scary as his voice. Ron Perlman, despite not knowing where he is, does a terrific job playing The Lich. He commands presence and his monologues would not work without him. This isn’t the best or scariest Lich appearance, but it's a fantastic introduction. “Mortal Folly” is a non-stop thrill ride, with the highest stakes and most serious tone this silly cartoon has put out in its classic era. Many people point to this episode as the one where the “real plot starts”. While I don’t necessarily endorse that, there is a lot of truth to it. It introduces one of the few series (really franchise) long throughlines that Adventure Time has. 

Grade: A+

He tears the money from the sash around his waist, at once both surprised by the sheer audacity and disappointed that the anon used it to do... this. In the process, he manages to break their wrist like a brittle twig.
