princess bubblegum is honestly one of most unique tv characters, apart from the fact that she's a piece of gum who spends her free time committing unethical experiments on her subordinates, her storyline across all season is just like. her becoming less evil. not even like a full redemption arc, like she needed ten seasons to understand that being an authoritarian dictator is bad but like, she never actually stopped being a dictator yk. she just needed this much time to be like maybe I should commit less war crimes. maybe I should count to ten before defying god and creating life. and she has no tragic villain origin story, like they did kind of gave her that with her uncle and stuff betraying her but also, she's always been kind of like this, like she's always been prone to playing god with the concept of existence. if you think about it princess bubblegum could be a fucking batman villain
