However, that's when the Ice King lurches out of the alley, weak and helpless, explaining how and why Ricardio is indeed evil. When she walks away to tend to him, a dejected Finn has no choice but to conclude Jake was right about him only looking evil by superficiality. Ricardio feigns empathy with Finn, admitting that he looked a little threatening with all that stuff (which Princess Bubblegum says were for their Balbaflonic Laser), to make Finn look bad in front of the Princess. Ricardio all but confirms he is evil by maliciously taunting Finn and goads him into punching him in the face in front of Princess Bubblegum. The real clencher is when he sees him in a violent confrontation with the Ice King in an alley ending with him throwing the Ice King into a dumpster and leaving him for dead as he runs away with his rope and broken glass bottles.įinn and Jake finally confront him on the streets and start by asking him straight forward questions as to whether or not he's evil and directly orders him to stay away from Princess Bubblegum with all that makeshift equipment. Finn's investigation does promote some probable cause when he sees Ricardio in secret smashing bottles and using them as serrated weapons.
Throughout the course of his debut episode, Finn spies on him, trying to find evidence incriminating Ricardio to be a villain while Jake insists that his instincts are nothing but blind paranoia created by Finn's jealousy towards Princess Bubblegum combined with the superficiality of Ricardio's dramatic complexion. However, instead of mere jealousy, Finn has reason to believe that Ricardio is not who he appears to be in the negetive sense. This is shown when Finn says to Jake, "He's talking about science, man! I can't compete with that!" This obviously made him jealous, but Finn is incapable of desribing it as actual jealously.
Finn shows a rivalry with him due to the fact that Princess Bubblegum seems somewhat attracted to him, and Finn, at the time, had a crush on her.
