This man had the most aura generated in one word. That "Fall." was delivered so perfectly it gave me goosebumps and put a huge smile on my face

"Mountains of broken bones below the wheel"
"While the mortal world doubts and questions, I know exactly what I am. I am the ceaseless wheel, I am the last scholar of Golb." They gave him some crazy lines

0:15 the lich took that kick so personal he wore Billy like a suit

I love how misguided the lich is throughout his entire story. He wanted to create chaos to appease the embodiment of chaos but completely misunderstood what that means. He thought death was chaos when in reality, it's life that is chaotic

I think part of what made the lich so good as a character is how little he's used. It really allowed the creators to put some real thought into his character and mannerisms, as well as his actions, all of which feel very in character and logical based on his goal.

7:01 that line is tuff. Voice actor did his Job well

The Lich said, "You bested me in many worlds." That means there are realities where Finn Jake is fighting the Lich in alternate realities and timeliness. A fanfic dream come true.

That one word from the lich "fall" is the most villain thing I've heard

I just love how shallow the lichs motivation seems so shallow for a writers perspective. “Lol he’s evil so he just want to kill everything” but his actual plans, actions and cosmic significance carry such a simple idea to greatness.
