2 | Fionna and Cake (the [[RuleSixtyThree gender-swapped versions]] of Finn and Jake) fight the evil Ice Queen and attend Prince Gumball's royal ball. |
3 | ---- |
4 | !! Tropes |
5 | * ActionDressRip: Fionna does this before taking on the Ice Queen. |
6 | * ActionGirl: Fionna and Cake, being as badass as Finn and Jake. |
7 | * AgeLift: Fionna is clearly significantly older than the 13-year-old Finn and roughly appears to be Prince Gumball's age, probably to make the romantic subtext between her and the 18-year-old Prince Gumball way less squicky. [[spoiler:Justified in-universe by the fact that it's all a story, and that the Ice King seems to be into the concept of an older female Finn.]] |
8 | * AlternateUniverse: Albeit one created through an in-universe fanfic. |
9 | * AmazonChaser: Gumball is attracted to Fionna both for her strength and beauty. However this was actually Ice Queen in disguise and simply flattering Fionna into a trap, but the real deal also thinks she is 'incredible' when fighting. |
10 | * AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: The GenderBender main cast of show. |
11 | * AttractiveBentGender: The Ice Queen is probably the best example out of all the genderbent characters, as she appears taller and much younger than the actual Ice King and wears a beautiful blue gown. [[spoiler:Justified, as she exists in a fanfiction of his creation.]] It's also because [[WordOfGod Natasha Allegri]], who designed her, has said that she finds attractive villains far more unsettling than ugly ones. |
12 | * AuthorAvatar: [[spoiler:Ice King]] has two, Ice Queen and [[spoiler:himself as an overly, perfect vision of himself.]] |
13 | * BigSisterMentor: Cake's usually the one giving Fionna advice like how to get Gumball's attention. |
14 | * {{Bowdlerise}}: The original ending: |
15 | -->[[spoiler:'''Ice King''': And then the Ice King married them all! [[TheEnd THE END!]]]] |
16 | * TheCameo: Marshall and Lumpy Space Prince make minor appearances in this episode. |
17 | * ChekhovsGun: Fionna's crystal sword, given to her by the Ice Queen as Prince Gumball in disguise, is one of these. Then {{subverted|Trope}}, when it's revealed to be a trap that encases her hands in ice. ''Then'' [[ZigZaggingTrope zig-zagged when she uses the ice to free Prince Gumball.]] |
18 | * DarkActionGirl: Ice Queen, being a more competent ice user than Ice King. |
19 | * DistaffCounterpart: Fionna for Finn, Cake for Jake and Ice Queen for Ice King. |
20 | * EvilIsDeathlyCold: Ice Queen has ice magic and uses it for destructive purposes when battling Fionna or trying to kidnap Prince Gumball. |
21 | * FlatWhat: Prince Gumball delivers this when [[spoiler:Fionna reveals herself to be in love with Ice King.]] |
22 | * ForTheEvulz: Unlike Ice King, Ice Queen doesn't seem to have any redeeming values and doesn't care who has to get hurt to get what she wants. |
23 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
24 | ** When Cake tries on the Ice Queen's tiara and her ice powers, Fionna knocks it off shouting "You'll catch her crazy!". [[spoiler:Since the Ice King wrote this in-universe, this is foreshadowing for the revelations later in the season about the Ice King's past and the origins of his power.]] |
25 | ** The Ice Queen is far more competent and threatening than her male counterpart, [[spoiler:foreshadowing that the opposite-gender versions of the characters are part of a story the Ice King made up.]] |
26 | * FormulaBreakingEpisode: A GenderBender episode for the main cast. |
27 | * GenderBender: The entire cast gets this, boy characters becoming girls and girls becoming boys. It's a rare example of gender flips, which are usually strictly fan-based, being promoted in the show proper. |
28 | * AnIcePerson: Ice Queen has the ability to control ice much like her male counterpart, but her powers are much more offensive. |
29 | * InterspeciesRomance: Gumball has this with Fionna, [[spoiler:though she rejects him for Ice King.]] |
30 | * LatexPerfection: Ice Queen's disguise as Prince Gumball was pretty much spot-on, unlike the Ice King's [[PaperThinDisguise Bubblegum disguise]]. |
31 | * MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Ice Queen is much more competent than the Ice King. [[spoiler:Justified, as it's a fanfiction of Ice King, so he probably made her competent regardless of her gender.]] |
32 | * NarratorAllAlong: Ice King turns out to have created "Fionna and Cake" as a fan fiction and narrated events as he saw it. |
33 | * NestedStoryReveal: At first the episode seems like a gender-flipped episode done for laughs, but then the end reveals [[spoiler:it's Ice King's fanfic he's reading to Finn and Jake.]] |
34 | * NotWhatItLooksLike: After the fight near the end, Cake stumbles in on Fionna (worn out, and with her dress torn) and Gumball, and interprets the scene in a [[AttemptedRape completely different way]]. |
35 | * SassyBlackWoman: Cake, despite being a cat. |
36 | * ShipTease: Fionna with Gumball and Cake with Lord Monochromicorn. |
37 | * ShoutOut: Fionna's ball gown is very similar to [[Anime/SailorMoon Princess Serenity's]] dress. |
38 | * SpearCounterpart: Gumball for Bubblegum and Lord Monochromicorn for Lady Rainicorn. |
