~ Princess Bubblegum to Marceline |
Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Simon Petrikov) Cartoon Network's Adventure Time franchise. She made her debut in the original animated short and her official debut in the first episode of Adventure Time, Slumber Party Panic.
She is the ruler of the Candy Kingdom and girlfriend of Marceline. While she usually takes the role as a heroic character, she has done some pretty horrible actions even if they were for the safety of her Kingdom.
She was voiced by Hynden Walch in the main series (who also voiced Ace) and Paige Moss in the pilot. When she was younger, her voice was provided by Isabella Acres, barring "Bonnibel Bubblegum" in which Livvy Stubenrauch voiced her.
Her Evil Ranking
What Makes Her Heinous?
- In the first episode of the series, she revives Candy Citizens as zombies which causes a big panic across the kingdom which leads to Bubblegum having Finn swear to a royal promise which almost gets him killed due to accidentally breaking it.
- She does this again in a later episode while not paying attention to Cinnamon Bun while the flesh from one of the zombies was there and gives Finn, Jake, Lady Rainicorn and LSP an incredibly vague hint on how to solve it with the mouse she created being named science which causes for Jake, Lady Rainicorn and LSP to turn into zombies.
- While this wasn’t intentional, it still was pretty negligent.
- She does this again in a later episode while not paying attention to Cinnamon Bun while the flesh from one of the zombies was there and gives Finn, Jake, Lady Rainicorn and LSP an incredibly vague hint on how to solve it with the mouse she created being named science which causes for Jake, Lady Rainicorn and LSP to turn into zombies.
- She orders Finn and Jake to kidnap the Ice King and then torture him later for his screams, though she only did this to heal her citizens after Ice King denied her original pleas.
- She tells Finn and Jake to bring the Duke of Nuts to her so that she could lock him in the dungeon because he emptied out her pudding pantry and blamed him for something he didn’t do. She also didn’t believe Finn or Duke of Nuts when they both vouched for his pudding deficiency.
- After seeing the damage that Flame Princess did as just a baby, she brought her back to the Fire Kingdom and agreed with the Flame King to put his infant baby into a jar for 15 years.
- When making Goliad, Bubblegum used her own DNA for creating them and was fine with disassembling them after realizing they went too far.
- Due to being made with her DNA, it’s implied that Bubblegum has a malevolent side.
- She tortured the Ice King by breaking his pinkies so that she could get the password to wizard city.
- She ordered the Ice King to start freezing the Fire Kingdom’s core which led to multiple deaths with one of them being shown on screen.
- In the same episode, she stole all of the Kingdom’s defensive weapons and all of this is due to them possibly posing a threat.
- After all of James' clones nearly got themselves killed sacrificing themselves, she banished them to the wasteland and put their lives in danger.
- Not to mention, she sent the original James to be killed by the zombies and hit Finn and Jake on the head with a wrench.
- She killed nearly all of the Rattleballs who were soldiers that she created to protect her citizens along with them being completely sapient and feeling beings. She did this because she thought that they were too violent despite programming them to be this way.
- She had cameras that were shattered all over OOO which she took down later, but she still has GPS’s attached to her citizens and even Finn who isn’t even part of the Candy Kingdom.
- She also had a camera put in Cinnamon Bun’s nose even though he was part of the Fire Kingdom now.
- She’s indirectly responsible for some of what Lemongrab has done due to creating him, despite him being past that by this point.
- She stole Finn and Jake’s treasure under the excuse of it being taxes, despite them not residing in the Candy Kingdom.
- She imprisoned all of the citizens and even Finn and Jake at Tree Trunks' wedding due to the King of OOO, despite the fact that he showed the correct papers for him being able to do the wedding. She also broke into the King of OOO’s house to try and get these papers.
- She spied on Flame Princess for research because she saw her as a threat. In the same episode, she wanted to see Flame Princess’ emotions when she sees Finn because he broke her heart. She also only went to try and save Flame Princess because she wasted her time.
- She is also fully aware that Finn feels terrible about betraying Flame Princess’ trust.
- She launches a missile into space so that she could cultivate space to make a new Candy Kingdom if the land of OOO goes crazy, but that missile was starting to hurt the aliens that were on that part of space by going through their bodies and mutilating them. Tree Trunks' kids were also in this part of space as well.
- While The Lich and New Death did worse, she stands out due to having a larger kill count than other characters and her actions sometimes having a lasting effect throughout the series such as the Rattleball’s genocide, Lemongrab’s creation, etc. along with having less resources than The Lich and New Death.
What Makes Her Inconsistent?
- She is On & Off as she has plenty of heroic roles as well as being affable to others, and there are episodes where she doesn’t do anything wrong.
- She sometimes feels remorse for her actions, such as when she started the zombie apocalypse in her kingdom for the second time, along with when she took back the candy beings off of a planet when she saw sentient life being hurt.
- She is a genuine extremist with all of her worst actions being for the sake of the Candy Kingdom and their protection.
- She genuinely cares about multiple people such as Finn, Jake, Lady Rainicorn, Neddy, her candy citizens and more.
- She is genuinely in love with Marceline and has helped and gone on dates with her multiple times.
- Some of her bad actions are played for laughs such as when she took Finn and Jake’s treasure and a few others.
- She has generally mellowed out throughout the series and became a better person by the end of the series and stopped doing heinous acts.
