"Evergreen" is the twenty-fourth episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series ''Adventure Time''. The episode was written and storyboarded by Tom Herpich and Steve Wolfhard, from an outline by Herpich. The episode debuted on November 10, 2014 on Cartoon Network in Latin America, but originally aired domestically on January 15, 2015. The episode guest stars Pamela Adlon as Gunter, Alan Tudyk as Chatsberry, and Keith David as Balthus. The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. This episode, which takes place millions of years before the start of the series, documents the story of Gunter (voiced by Adlon), the young assistant to ice elemental Urgence Evergreen (voiced by Tom Kenny), and how he and Evergreen try to save the planet from a comet by constructing a magical crown. Despite being co-boarded by Wolfhard, the episode was largely the vision of Herpich, and he alone wrote the outline for the episode. Wolfhard, however, voiced two different characters in the episode. The episode was watched by an estimated 1.75 million viewers. Critical reception to the episode was largely positive, with Oliver Sava of ''The A.V. Club'' complimenting the episode's story, guest voices, and color palette, among other things. ==Plot== Millions of years before the start of the series, during the age of dinosaurs, an ice elemental named Urgence Evergreen (voiced by Tom Kenny) created a magical crown that will grant his inner wish to destroy an incoming comet. Evergreen calls a meeting with his fellow elementals (the other three representing candy, fire, and slime) to discuss his need for them to activate the crown's power. The three other magical beings refuse as they see a flaw in Evergreen's plan if his true wish is not the destruction of the comet. This forces Evergreen to freeze his fellow elementals before seeking out three magical rubies which happen to be the eyes of a fearsome magma beast in order to power the crown. Evergreen is joined in his quest by his hopeful apprentice Gunter (voiced by Pamela Adlon), a mutated dinosaur who is more like a slave than an assistant. During the fight between the magma beast, Evergreen is nearly killed, but Gunter manages to distract the creature, allowing Evergreen to defeat it and secure the rubies. Despite this victory, he berates Gunter for not staying outside as instructed. In Evergreen's lab, the crown is completed with Evergreen adding a bonding spell so that the mind of the first possessor would be forever imprinted on the crown. But before he could use it, the blinded magma beast bursts into the room and Evergreen ends being incapacitated from part of the structure collapsing as the comet approaches. Evergreen is left with no choice but to have Gunter use the crown in his place and have him wish for the comet's destruction. But once the crown is placed on Gunter's head, it reacts to the apprentice's desire to be like Evergreen. Gunter turns a pale blue, grows out a beard, and begins shouting, "Gunter, no!" Evergreen tries in vain to tell Gunter how to block the magic of the crown, but realizes too late that he never bothered to teach his mistreated apprentice any magic. The comet impacts the world, presumably killing both Gunter and Evergreen The scene flashes forward to the Ice King (voiced by Kenny) in present day Ooo, who is jumping on his bed in his sleep while shouting, "Gunter, no!" Waking up, the Ice King believes the episode to have merely been a strange dream; he is completely unaware that actually had a vision of the events leading to the creation of his crown. Unbeknownst to the Ice King, what appears to be another comet twinkles distantly in the sky. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evergreen (Adventure Time)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
