I was delighted to revisit Starchy as a conspiracy theory-loving bumpkin, who now has his own paranormal fanclub, the Veritas brigade (I love this adorable goddamn episode), which is the next logical step after having a late night conspiracy talk show and workshops. Or has he? After all, Peacemaster isn’t exactly the Candy Kingdom’s most upright citizen either, and you could even make the case that he’d brought about his own misfortunes due to his zealotry. It’s an interesting situation in that Peppermint Butler has never done anything that evil, just stuff that’s normally regarded as evil: imprisoning and extorting demons, being bros with Death, trying to swindle Finn and Jake out of their flesh, and so forth, nothing so outright terrible, but he may have crossed the line last night. Turning children into human/monster hybrids is sort of really, really dark, even by his own standards. I thought Peppermint Butler was adorable even before it was revealed that he’s a shadowy magus of the Golden Dawn, but even I have to admit that “Nemesis” complicates my PepBut fandom quite a bit. On last night’s episode of Adventure Time, “Nemesis,” Peppermint Butler’s dark magicky ways finally catch up to him when a zealot in Puritan dress vows to bring him to justice.
