![]() All throughout the Adventure Time series there has been much evidence of human civilization. It is unknown whether these are based on prewar technology (the year of the war was never stated, but we know that it must have happened sometime after 1982 because the Ice King is heard singing the theme song and making reference to the sitcom "Cheers" in the episode "Simon and Marcy" which premiered that year) or are more recent inventions. Strangely, the Land of Ooo also contains technological devices that are far more advanced than what exists today, such as Universal Translators and holographic newspapers. Even though the civilizations that created these warnings would have been long gone by their time (and that films bought for home video usage generally are protected to be used for private usage only, which being held in a home would be considered as such), they decide to abide by them to avoid breaking the law. The first mention of the war in continuity was in "Video Makers," when Finn and Jake discover government copyright warnings before the movies they watch for their film club. In "The New Frontier ", Jake mentions that "rocket-ships haven't been reinvented yet", implying that the technology to build conventional space-faring vessels was lost in a past event, most probably the Mushroom War. This means that in the normal Universe of Adventure Time the Bomb would have also been dropped around 1000 years prior to current events. Current Marceline is also 1000 years old. In the Farmworld timeline, Simon Petrikov froze the Bomb in midair, though it came so close to contact that it crushed him. In the "Finn the Human" episode, Farmworld Marceline states the Mushroom Bomb was dropped 1000 years ago. The last piece of evidence to this is that in the flashback during that episode, Hunson was nowhere to be seen and Marceline is seen crying while mouthing "Daddy." Therefore, it can be inferred that he abandoned or lost her sometime after the Mushroom War. This can be further understood in "I Remember You," when Simon says that they may be alone after the apocalypse. This shows that he is, technically, a survivor of the War as well, but he may have been in the Nightosphere when the Mushroom Bomb was dropped. Hunson Abadeer, Marceline's dad, was seen in a flashback in "Memory of a Memory," showing him and Marceline after the War but before the establishment of the Land of Ooo. Marceline, Abraham Lincoln, Moe (now a cyborg) and the Ice King (Simon Petrikov) are the only known characters to have survived the Mushroom War. This is further supported by the ruined pieces of modern technology scattered across the land, and the beginning of the opening theme (which briefly shows the remains of nuclear bombs and other weapons). It can also be inferred that the Mushroom Bomb brought about the end of the war, creating the Lich. Although the scenery outside his window indicates no sign of devastation, it can be inferred that the war had just started, and the plane is in fact a war plane. ![]() In "Holly Jolly Secrets Part II," one of Simon's video diaries shows a plane flying outside his window. The Mushroom War was most likely started by humans warring against each other on a nuclear scale (such as during the Cold War or the end of WWII). ![]() If so, then it is likely that the Land of Ooo and the creatures who inhabit it were created from the nuclear fallout that irradiated the land. Not much is known about the war at the moment, but the inclusion of "mushroom" in the title is probably referring to the mushroom shaped cloud produced by nuclear weapons. The Mushroom War (Also Called: The Great Mushroom War) is the cause of the post-apocalyptic condition of the Land of Ooo. ![]()
