The End Game of Their Friendship is Fusion between Jake and Marceline.
It's interesting that Jake and Marceline's team-up occurs following years of their two being at odds with one another. Jake was completely afraid of Marceline since she was a vampire when she first started on the show. At times he even tried to keep Finn from getting in touch with her; he wanted nothing to do with her. But as Adventure Time developed, Jake's opinions of Marceline grew more amiable as the two gradually grew friends, rendering them among the most likeable characters on the program.
Though years of development have passed, the two have become closer as friends; Jake even characterizes their official fusion as "FRIENDShip!!." The ideal approach to illustrate the distance the two have gone is this last form shown in the comics. If Jake were the same he was in the first season of the program, he never would have considered working with Marceline. Years of development notwithstanding, the two have become closer as friends; Jake even characterizes their official fusion as "Friendship!!" For Jake and Marceline's journey as characters, it's a fulfilling pay-off since Jake overcomes his vampire phobia to get close to a really cool person.
Jake's Nightmare Shapeshift Creates Possibility for Other Terrifying Team-Ups
Of course, formally uniting Jake with Marceline in this comic raises the issue of what other completely terrible shapes Jake might take by teaming up with other entities in Ooo. Though this was just Finn going into Jake's mouth, not a real merge, he had already merged with his best friend Finn by assuming his suit of armor. Unquestionably, Jake merging with one of Adventure Time's biggest antagonists, the Lich, would be a horrific scene. Others might call for characters including Ice King, Lemongrab, the Psychic Tandem War Elephant, and more.
Given his extreme malleability, Jake has many amazing options for bending his body to produce something quite horrible. None would, however, have almost the significance of his team-up with Marceline. After years of character growth, their final shape has great weight, therefore their merging is not only one of Adventure Time's most dream-inducing visuals but also one of its most wholesful ones.
One of Adventure Time's most nightmare-inducing images comes from an unexpected mix between Jake and Marceline.
One of Adventure Time's most terrifying pictures comes from an unexpected junction between Jake and Marceline. There is no shortage of horrific ideas in the Adventure Time series designed just to cause nightmares for viewers. Still, one of the most unsettling pictures in Adventure Time history comes from the comics.
The Mnemenoid, a monster that has seized Finn's memories, holds Shelli Paroline, Braden Lamb, Finn, Jake, Marceline, Bubblegum, and others in Adventure Time #33. But when Jake tries to flee, Marceline surprises the villain, which causes him to lose concentration and unleash everyone. Jake and Marceline link up to demonstrate a new maneuver as the two formally mix, Jake serving as armor for Marceline's ultimate vampire form in an attempt at retribution. Since Jake's head is split in half and Marceline's gaping mouth with sharp teeth and a tendril-like tongue is revealed, this horrifying picture is pure dream fodder. Plus, only body horror fans like David Cronenberg could conceive of with claws and bat ears to round it out.
