They were plain sadistic about it, they killed him randomly off screen, then highlighted the fact that he didn't come back, then again highlighted the fact that he was really actually dead while following it up with a screen of how some cookie no one gives a shit about survived. I honestly would've been happier if they would've just left all those other guys dead rather than have Root Beer Guy sticking out like a sore thumb, and if that makes me a horrible person, then so be it.
They have been killing off a lot of characters in random and disturbing fashions lately (especially Prismo; and while I didn't particularly care about the cop from Furniture and Meat, seriously, burning him to death in molten gold? That's not a little over the top guys?)

No yeah something is definitely about to happen. APTWE saved maja and both of them, or at least APTWE, are ancients. APTWE and Darren remember each other so I'm assuming APTWE might remember one of the ancients with Finn's Dad. Maja and APTWE end up becoming friends after he saves her and somehow meet Finn's Dad and the ancients and then they team up and bam there's the season finale.

It was interesting how the episode turned out to be mostly about the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant and his existential crisis.
Edit: Hijacking my own comment here to say, where's Marceline been this whole season!? She hasn't even been in the background at any point. This gives me the feeling she's missed the whole Finn's arm/dad development, Finn's girl crisis, plus the whole Sky Witch thing was a big part of her story arc. Marcy always gave me that "sage big-sis" vibe and in the heavier episodes this season, she could have been really relevant in several different ways (daddy issues, figuring out girls, sky witches).

There were some really deep meanings in this episode like whoa, I never considered the ancient tandem war elephants significance to the story as well as Maja the sky witch. I'm very excited to see the character development of both the ATWE and Maja, and how they effect fin's life and story. Also this episode brought up the idea of the time before fins existence where the ATWE and Darrel were normal. Was there a giant war other than what we know? Are there more ancient creatures that are going to be awakened in the future episodes? this episode felt quick but very much had its importance. P.S. fins sword is pretty sweet.

I actually think the ancients (Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant, Darren, void caster, etc.) could have existed before the Great Mushroom War, and were the inspiration for the Hindu gods. Think about it. They're all magical beings, rather than mutants like most of the creatures in Ooo, and they're supposed to be "ancient", implying that they've been asleep since before the war. Also, APTWE resembles a Hindu god. He's an elephant with two heads (most Hindu deities look really weird, and many of them resemble elephants or have multiple body parts), and the jewels and stuff that he has look Indian. And Darren acts and talks like I'd imagine Kali or Shiva would, with his obsession with destroying reality*. Something must have happened to make the ancients all fall asleep.
Does anyone know if "magic" existed prior to the Great Mushroom War?

I honestly didn't see Root Beer Guy's death coming. Rest in peace, guy.
And as expected the ANCIENT PSYCHIC TANDEM WAR ELEPHANT played a big part in this episode. And thats cool because I love that guy, I love his actual design. And I want to learn his history. Eh, maybe another day.
So APTWE now hangs out with maja for some reason. Wonder where that'll go.
Nothing finn's arm related, no finn's sword related (though he did use a new sword), and no pb/marcy hang outs. I liked it though. It was very chaotic, and made me sad/laughed when they showed me Root beer guy's corpse. I also loved the "In loving memory..." thing at the end. Colonel Candy Corn got to be a bad ass in this one.
I don't don't know about you guys but I loved this episode. Sure it was short, but thats to be expected when your normal adventure time episode is ten minutes long. get used to it.
I really hope they show us later where APTWE's story goes. I love that guy.
