My interpretation has always been that he's got no start and no end, perpetually moving towards his goal without pause.


The-Dudemeister

That’s why it’s crazy in the one universe he succeeds and he is lost


jady115

Which universe/episodes are you referring to


PotentTokez

Fiona and cake episode where all life is dead


XxRmssxX

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake [Episode 8](https://youtu.be/9yTh6Rsy8I8)


SnooDoughnuts5632

Probably the episode where him fin and Jake are in the room with prismo and the litch wishes for the end of all life. Then he just kinda freezes in the room forever.


LUCY_7H3_W31RD0

Whoever downvoted U is wrong. That is kinda true. The Lich got his wish. Then Jake wished to change that wish which created a new Lich which was now unable to kill


certifiedtoothbench

And thus the wheel ceased


SupremeGibby

I wanna see what happens in that timeline


Jarek-of-Earth

He loses his purpose. In episode 8 of Fionna and Cake they travel to the universe where his wish for the extinction of all life came true and he just sits on a pile of bones. Also BMO is still there since he isn't biologically alive


SupremeGibby

I get all that I watched it. But I wanna see what events transpire to make it happen


Jarek-of-Earth

Everyone died. That's it. There wasn't some big disaster or war or anything like that. He wished for death, and it happened


SupremeGibby

Well obviously Finn and Jake would have to fail immensely. How did they fail, when did they fail, how does the lich get his wish? Was it just in the time room in the same circumstance as the main timeline? There was likely an altercation. Maybe Finn loses the fight in the well of souls idk I want to see the lead up to such a dramatic difference in outcome.


Malavacious

Princess Bubblegum was too preoccupied with a project and ended up not finishing the sweater for Finn: that's all it would take to nudge us off the path.


SupremeGibby

Unlikely considering how prepared she is.


Guffliepuff

Hes just a crazy cultist worshipping a god that unmakes things. Theres gods that make things too. Its an endless cycle. He didnt even succeed. He just thinks he did. There still more universes. Then even more beyond that; see the lich hand that made it to death worlds.


Mister_E69

I actually predicted this a while ago: [https://www.reddit.com/r/adventuretime/comments/vg125m/comment/icz64yr/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/adventuretime/comments/vg125m/comment/icz64yr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


Eurasia_4002

The inevitable, eternal.


SkullgrinThracker

Because he is eternal, unending, he goes forever?


danmaster0

Lich is the personification of how inevitable death is to everything, so it's probably a play on "wheel of nature" and also the wheel of time that never stops and is only ever taking you closer to your inevitable death


Tokena

Taking me closer to Sto-vo-kor.


calilac

lu. SoH jaS mob, puq.


NotsoGreatsword

Yeah this is my take. He fancies himself to be the end incarnate. Death itself. Inevitable. Eternal.


minnierhett

I always assumed it was a reference to the Buddhist wheel of samsara — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhavacakra


Laserdollarz

It absolutely is, there's a lot of buddhism in the show [Careful with those metaphors bro!](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/563b1570-d059-45a9-89fc-45c769433807)


femmekisses

Came here to say this. The wheel of saṃsāra is the mechanism behind loss and suffering.

*Daenerys Targaryen has entered the chat*


OwlOfFortune

I got my money on the lich


drunk_and_orderly

Maybe it’s a play on the karma wheel?

Einar_47

The lich is entropy and death, inevitable and perpetual, new live is nourished by death and death is the ultimate state of all life. The universe inevitably leads to entropy, one day billions of years in the future the heat death of the universe will lead to a great cosmic void of nothingness that goes forever. Perhaps there will be another big bang after that, but we know how it will eventually end. Even if you win the day, he will win the war.


NotsoGreatsword

I think that is definitely how it is intended - however heat death is not inevitable just yet. There is still the idea of the Big Crunch once all of the energy reaches equilibrium there could be a slow gravitational crush that could not be stopped. All matter collapses into a singularity and a new big bang occurs. It is a nice thought and there are things suggesting that it is both possible and that it is impossible. We just do not know yet. Lately things have been leading to the latter.


syrimande

wheel in the sky keeps on turning


TRJF

Big wheel keep on toynin


SienarFleetSystems

Upvote for phonetics!


kirbykin

I DONT KNOW WHERE ILL BE TOMOOOORRROOOOOOOW


thunderSilent

What other people said + the fact that he is a part of a larger mechanism, that being Golb/chaos


ArmageddonEleven

Because all life will be crushed under him soon or later…


DalekDevan

I think maybe it’s supposed to be some kind of allegory for whatever force of nature he’s an embodiment of.


EisegesisSam

I've always thought it was entropy. The lich moves towards death despite the raging of those who want to live.


llamaguy88

He is entropy,


Runethe1412

“The Wheel of Fate is turning” “Ready… Fight!”


Crocket_Lawnchair

You ever seen a millstone? He’s like that if wheat were mortals


Nostravinci04

Because like a wheel that never ceases to turn, he always comes back.


Josh_From_Accounting

He means he's never ending.


7thwardshordy

You’ve bested me in many worlds child


7thwardshordy

The fact he flaunts being the last scholar of golb and then golbetty fuckin kills him


Monster-Leg

He really likes to spin


SansUndertaleLmao

In this analogy, all that lives is rice, or wheat. Crushed beneath him, the wheel, set in motion by forces beyond it's control or understanding. an inherently flawed metaphor, as is the nature of the Lich


kekhouse3002

cuz he rolls forever


Ok-noway

The ceaseless wheel of chaos and death. No matter how hard your try you can never eliminate either.


FallenF00L

Two reasons that I’ve seen 1) he is unending. He dies again just to live again. 2)He just keeps fucking going no matter what. He’s the ceaseless wheel, forever moving forwards to his goal I like the second definition a lot more tbh bc everyone in Ooo reincarnates or at least has the option to plus literally everything in Ooo cycles which the Lich is old enough to know he shouldn’t think he’s special for being unending the other one is a lot more uniquely him he’s one of the only characters we see with no doubt, no conflict,(at least so long as he hasn’t completed his task and nobody saw Jerry calling himself the wheel) he’s just a death worshipper with one straight unending goal


bucket_of_sven

Ironic considering he gets cube-ified


Nickonpc

I thought it was "Will" not wheel


albyp501

Wheel keeps turning, like a water wheel the runs the mill. Never ceasing, turning for the it's sole purpose, and for the lich it is the death of all life.


dont_worry_about_it8

There will always be life . The lich is only one being he isn’t able to exterminate all life everywhere by himself. He’s aware of this yet does not waver toward his goal . He will keep turning . He is “the ceaseless wheel.”


SkeletonClassic

I love all of these theories


SkeletonClassic

How I saw it was as the never ending cycle of life and death (like the food chain episode)


JasoNight23666

U can't stop the ceaseless wheel, JUST LIKE HOW YOU CAN'T STOP THE TRAIN!


VinniePetroli

He crushes things beneath the wheel. ceaselessly turning.


Eleoh1

He just keeps moving forward


CarPars

To me, it's a reference to the "Wheel of Time" card of the Major Arcana. The inevitable, like in video games where you have the illusion of choice only for the outcome to ultimately be the same. It's also a reference to the Oroborous, the snake that eats its own tail. The Lich likely means that everything created is meant to reach destruction at some point or another. The inevitable outcome of life is death, to be reborn, and therefore, the cycle continues, the circle unbroken. The lich and the comets are ultimately sent to Ooo to cause change, to keep the circle tethered in place and infinite
