Ice King is a really cool villain. (Tee hee, bad pun.) But, seriously, he’s the perfect villain for a show like Adventure Time. He isn’t much of a threat by himself most of the time so he gives way for a different kind of story to be told. As much as Finn and Jake talk about defeating monsters and saving the world, the show isn’t centered around the drive to get stronger like a shounen anime. This is a story about growing up and learning to tolerate people through the lens of wacky magical adventures. My point is that a show about growing up should have an antagonist who represents the opposite. The Ice King may be an adult but his dementia makes him act like a child. Learning to have sympathy for such a person is an important trait for Finn to have.
