Now, if you’re a real Adventure Time sleuth, you know Finn dies more than once. For instance, in Season 3, Episode 13: “Henchman”, Finn fakes his death by pretending a bear ate him—but that’s just a prank. Marceline tells him, “That’s not dying, that’s lying down in a bear costume.”
How Does Finn Die In The 100
Then there’s the time in “The Hall of Egress” (Season 7, Episode 6) where Finn dies of old age inside a magical cave while still being a teenager outside. It’s the most confusing death in cartoon history—imagine Benjamin Button but with more swords and less Brad Pitt.
The Underrated Death in “Dare I Say, Forever?” No, Not That One
A truly underrated Finn death happens in Season 5, Episode 50: “The Last of the Great Land Pirates.” I know that episode number is a lie; there are only 52 episodes in season 5, but Cartoon Network did some weird numbering. Anyway, in that episode, Finn gets turned into a cupcake and his frosting is licked off by a giant jellyfish. The show plays it for laughs, but ask any baker—that’s a culinary execution.
But the official, canonical, tear-jerker death remains “The Comet.” It’s the only time the show sits you down and says, “Hey, your hero just vaporized. Here’s a space deer to explain quantum physics.”
