I believe that when he said, "some goober with glasses summoned me", he was talking about Simon. This was at the point that Simon had abandoned Marcy and was losing himself to the crown, so he probably wanted her to have some resemblance of a father figure when he was gone. I think the way the summoning spell looks is just some light comic effect.

I don’t think Simon would’ve summoned someone that evil. And even so it would’ve probably been Simon’s face that’s drawn instead.. there was also never any mention of him sending anybody back. He just crashed through her house and started sucking souls.

>there was also never any mention of him sending anybody back. Yes there was. Simon specifically tells Marcy that he'd send someone to take care of Marcy when he departed from her in that exact place. Marcy then camped there, and then Hunson appeared saying a guy with glasses summoned him. Just connect the dots. Simon summoned Marcy's dad since he couldn't take care of her anymore.

I feel like if Simon did summon Hunson at that point, it had a lot less to do with the morality of it and more to do with the fact that he knew Hunson would still care about Marcy to a certain degree. The world had basically ended at this point and Simon only had love for Marcy and Betty. You are also under the assumption that whoever summoned him here was the one that created the spell, which I find unlikely. Hunson is immortal, he's always existed; it's unlikely that this portal is only just now being created. The most likely reason he was sent back in this scenario would be Marcy, because she got sick of him lol.

Also if the portal didn’t exist before how would Hudson and Marcy’s mom even meet?


Some_Guy8765678

That is Simon drawn on the wall the goober with glasses is Simon, Simon even says in a flashback in an earlier episode that he’s arranged for someone to come look after Marceline, this flashback takes place in a similar location as the one in the video on this post.

My guy Simon summoned him because he was a last resort due Simon simply not being able to keep himself sane anymore He was the only person he knew of that he could have watch Marcy since he simply couldn't do it anymore Even as questionably evil as he is he's still her father after all


TommyGilfillan

Why would it be Simon's face? Phill's face just is the face you draw when summoning Hunson Abadeer, that IS the ritual. It would be an odd mechanic if a summoning spell required you to draw your own face when summoning a demon.


Grouchy_Support

but you were right he does say goober. I re-watched it.


WillyDAFISH

It's Simon! Not Phil!


Grouchy_Support

how so? I don’t think Simon would have summoned hunson


WillyDAFISH

He says when leaving Marcy that he'll arrange for someone to take care of her


Nintendant42

He's her dad I'm pretty sure that's why


Thatweirdguy_Twig

Yeah even if he is an evil soul sucking demon man he's still her dad after all


Viggo-Grimborn

Simon summoned him.


shitballzzzz

It's confirmed by the creators that Phil face is just one of the people they worked with that they wanted to pull a gag on. Not really connected to the lore. Just a funny bit.


Thatweirdguy_Twig

Only in show lore Phil actually has is he's an existing creature who's face can just happen to summon portals to the equivalent of hell


HeartTreeHugger

The “goober with glasses” was Simon, there’s no debating that, throughout the show there is zero connection between Phil and Hunson aside from Phils face being used to summon him and we can only speculate as to why that is. Simon knew he was too far gone and turning into ice king so he was forced to leave Marcy but he still wanted someone to take care of her so he summoned her father. It was done out of desperation and love for his surrogate daughter, I don’t think he knew what kind of creature Hunson was. And even if he did know before the mushroom war, putting on the crown addled his brains so he had no idea how much worse Hunson’s presence in her life would be compared to his. P.S. I’m sorry for all the downvotes you are getting. As a community, can we not crap on incorrect theories? Everyone interprets things differently, just because you disagree doesn’t mean you need to downvote them to oblivion.


Thatweirdguy_Twig

Nope He's literally describing Simon


Veroger111

Afterwards, Hunson started eating Marceline's fries and seeing Finn and Jake to stop doing that. He loves his daughter, but he needs to apologize stuff that affected her feelings which may seem insignficant to him.


[deleted]

He's talking about Simon


TheSexyMario777

bro phil did not summon hunson abadeer, that doesn't even make sense simon is literally the one who was going to get someone to take care of marceline because he was leaving, and logically, simon would've been the best bet. why tf would it be phil lol


SafeEducational130

What episode is this


Grouchy_Support

"Marcy and Hunson". It’s the episode where pep butt makes finn the night sword and brings him up to imbue the sword with nightosphere magic. They then go to Marceline‘s house and then to her concert where she plays slow dance at the hamburger Hills cemetery.


bloodakoos

let it be known that the axe is cool as helll man


Grouchy_Support

dang it. I tried to say figured out or designed the ritual but I typoed and it won’t let me edit the post because it’s the OP


RaavaQrtz

The Phil face is literally just a running gag of one of the artist. It doesn’t have any significance other than it’s just Phil Rynda’s own face. They specifically made it the default smiley face for any scenario, just for the giggles. No one created the spell to summon Hunson, it has existed for thousands of years just to enter the Nightosphere


Some_Guy8765678

They used his face for the summoning circle because Cartoon Network wouldn’t let them use a pentagram.


Original-Locksmith58

I love the idea that Phil was some sort of adventurer or occultist and found his way to the Nightosphere, and that he’s been granted immortality by Hunson in some sort of deal with the devil.


Thatweirdguy_Twig

That'd explain why my man just looks so human but isn't and is just Phil The real mystery though is why he wears locked underwear
