A thing of note is that Billy's gauntlet is actually a sentient being, being upset at Finn upon being hit. Yet no one mourns when the gauntlet is destroyed by the Lich.

[stickthelanding]

To this day it still shocks me how Billy was just killed off like that in such a brutal manner no less

[megamanpwndmario]

fun fact; billy is the only hero in the show to have a kick-ass theme song about him

[jonathanbaldwin]

Just noticed that when we see the lich in billy’s song he has both horns, but when we get introduced to him he is missing one. It implies billy beat him up so bad he lost a horn.

[dwerical]

Billy really had the most brutal death ever. It's a good thing we saw it get hinted torwards in Finn's dream instead of seeing the whole thing unfold. It's still a kids show after all (somehow).

[AdventureTimeMVS]

I really wish we got to officially see more of the Lich and Billy in action! I think it would've been really cool to see the full battle between themselves

[martianwildfowl]

To answer your first question of how Billy imprisoned the Lich and add on to wanting the gems. The Lich let him. He's functionally immortal. Billy ages slowly, but is also the only real threat to the Lich. Realistically getting trapped in amber close to your immediate next goal after a period where Billy is either aged or dead would be beneficial.

Thing is, the Lich was right. Other than Billy we really only see Finn and Jake take on the Lich. Keep in mind they're still relatively inexperienced to Billy.

[thekrakenking]

Ever since I was a kid and saw the episode “The Lich” for the first time (ironically his second appearance), I was immediately horrified because I understood that the Lich had just murdererd Billy and used him as a skin suit, and I feel like lots of people never actually fully understand this.

[that_deadeyegamer]

I was just thinking about it: Billy is a character fit for Elden Ring.
A mutant being defeating even the lich himself and some of the most powerful evil in the lands, but the time our hero comes across him, he's a shell of his former self in a broken land, questioning his purpose and abandoning all that had brought him this far.

[charlieputzel]

First, that opener was killer, man.
Second, I do think the idea of the battle of the candy kingdom sounds both reasonable and epic. A powerful team up between Billy, Princess Bubblegum, and possibly peppermint butler (assuming he was around at the time) would have been incredible to watch.

[schwarzerritter]

The Lich did not just wear Billy's skin.
When the skin comes off in the Citadel, the skeleton has a metal plate where Billy has a scar.

[JJRBones]

Oh God, I just realized he entered the hole in Billy's heart, how incredibly painful that must've been

[ArchonZach]

I feel like the Lich just entered the literal hole in Billy's body to possess him, but the skinning him thing is way darker lol

[Crispifordtherd]

I always wanted to see more from Billy. Such a cool character that is tied to the overall lore, and to Finn especially. Being such a great hero even though he's quite literally just a guy (well...I giant) No Comet powers/memories, no Primordial ties or ancestry, no magic, nothing.

Just Billy, and NOTUNG.

[jackvalior]

I think the interpretation that the Lich found him at his vulnerable moment and enter Billy through the hole in him, left by years of despair, is the best one. It doesnt take away the brutality of Billy end, but it does serve as a metaphor of how great evil can flow through these wounds, leading to the person inside dying and being taken over by something else entirely, only wearing their skin until even that wears out.

[thedarknight]

What I find interesting about Billy is,
Based on the Lich’s statement
That Finn has bested in him in other worlds
Meaning Billy is the only other person to beat The Lich aside from other incarnations of Finn.
Which really makes me wonder just how powerful was Billy?

[White-Rockz]

almost shed a tear to the intro that was beautiful

[thebigidea]

Really didn't like how brutal Billy's death was and how Finn was indirectly responsible for it. I suppose it just shows how young and immature he was as he had many valuable and powerful artifacts but often uses them like toys.

[Myriad.sounds]

I won't lie, I forgot what the lich truly looked like until this week when the lich finally ripped billy's skin off in Fionna & Cake episode 9 or 10

[ghostsurfer]

In the Shoko flashback, Bonnie was doing work to cover up rivers of radioactive material, building the Candy Kingdom on top of it, even. While yes, this could be just general fallout from Ooo being an irradiated wasteland, we all know the Lich is directly tied to the bomb that irradiated the world in the first place. His 'Well of Power, ' which was something Bonnie knew about, was just a big pool of radioactive bomb goop. I see the stuff in the Shoko flashback as being a sign that the Lich either made his move very recently, or he was in the process of making his move. In regards to the former, its entirely possible the Candy Kingdom was being REbuilt, as in not for the first time.
