#Seriously I want to see Scrabby get his ass kicked by the Lich

Okay, I know everyone is focused on Vampire Queen Marceline
Or the classical tragedy of Betty and Simon
Or Baby Finn just abandoned in a tank
But I cannot stop thinking about that last world, and how terrifying it really is. The Lich won.
Everyone died.
There wasn't some catastrophe, no bomb going off, no apocalypse, no war. Everyone just... died. If that Ice King tape is accurate, and not just creepy imagery, then it was instantaneous. Just BAM skeletons.
Except there wasn't even really a BAM. Just... death.
It reminds me of an SCP story (don't ask me which one) where they visit a world where everything there just died, down to a microscopic level. People just collapsed in the middle of meals, the food still there. Nothing even rotting because the maggots, even the bacteria, died too.
It's just... chilling.
The Lich has always been a terrifying concept. Not a villain in the traditional sense, but a force of nature. A machine. Not even death, but extinction. Death without meaning. The simple ending of life. Can't be reasoned with. Can freeze you with a word. His only weakness is how laser focused he can get, ignoring a threat sometimes to get to the goal.
And now he's back, yet again. He always comes back. Even in the afterlife, he comes back.
On a less serious note, I hope there's a scene where Scarab squares up to the Lich, thinks he can take him, but Prismo just goes "Scrabby? Maybe don't. That guy killed me once."
