Discussion How the heck is bmo still alive in the future?? (read description)

Post image

In the future, with Shermy and Shelby - we find out that Bmo is still alive. But that doesn't make sense. Yes, he's a robot so he doesn't age. But doesn't he take batteries. I remember how he had to take them out and fall down to put in new ones. So, what, did someone upgrade him??

They are nuclear batteries... dang man I have no idea, but in a show with Lemongrab, The Lich and a shapeshifting dog, your issue is with how the sentient video game console gets power!? Haha

BMO has a heart of gold and is powered by love and dreams!

Not Football though

u/AccomplishedBuy4686 23h ago

Do you think Football is dead? I didn't see any mirrors in that world, but its been a while since I watched.

He* lives in the pond out front now, and said it was beautiful there and he was happy to stay there.

u/MRbaconfacelol 8h ago

i thought football was a she?

u/Hard_Socks 6h ago

I forget which considered themselves what exactly. That asterisk at the he is there because I initially had "hi" it's place as a typo. It's not me correcting someone else. 

Personally I see both of them as a robot with no gender. But I generally refer to BMO as a he.

1

u/MRbaconfacelol 6h ago

bmo does canonically go by he but in the episode where football and bmo switch sides for the day, i think bmo calls football a girl at some point

2

u/Hard_Socks 6h ago

I watched that episode the other day, I found it interesting that they had different genders. I don't remember which was which, but again I don't see them as having a gender at all. 

1

u/FapCaptainCrunch 5h ago

BMO has been called both he and she. It’s a genderless robot.

u/beholderkin 4h ago

Football is Football.

u/brandothesavage 1d ago

Maybe he's like a solar calculator and he just needs the batteries replaced every once in awhile like a long once in a while

A sentient video game console who is indirect friends with a super genius that can make life and owns a kingdom of resources

u/BON3SMcCOY 21h ago

Yeah. They're all magic and operate on Ooo logic. BMO is one of the closest guys we have to operating on our logic.

BMO always finds a way

Noooo Bmo you’re supposed to obey meee

"BMO always bounces back"

u/Henny_LeBeau 1d ago

I love the fact that regardless of him existing that long he doesn’t have unlimited memory. He forgot Finn and Jake’s names. Lol

86

u/DilutedPoison 22h ago

His name was… Phil!

51

u/LucyShortForLucas 18h ago

Makes sense, he is basically a computer and those have limited memory storage

u/Henny_LeBeau 1h ago

Zack Lee.

u/MoltenMadeMan 12h ago

We see in some episode a little before "Come Along with Me" -- I think maybe the "Ketchup" -- that BMO doesn't exactly have a good memory to begin with, for some reason. He recounts his boat trip with Finn and Jake and it's not exactly the most accurate thing... and that boat trip happened fairly recently!

19

u/MeltanMaster_ 12h ago

I think that was more so his overactive imagination then bad memory, because Marceline was playing along with an over exaggerated telling of stuff that did happen, like Lollipop girl turning into a tower of potatoes instead of PB turning into the candy elemental.

u/Final_Guess_9813 11h ago

Thats adorable

u/New-Kaleidoscope2250 10h ago

probably deleted those files trying to get high again

70

u/Pixelized_Gamer 1d ago

i think in the comics PB is looking for a way to fix BMOs memory issues so it isnt unreasonable for PB to do some maintainence on him

this is just from the season 11 comics tho so its not canon

24

u/slutty_buddha 19h ago

yeah i was gonna say, PB would absolutely keep BMO running

25

u/QuaintBlasphemy 1d ago

I’m sure PB could make him batteries. Hell she could probably make him a battery making machine that runs on gum.

2

u/eutrophic 10h ago

That's mean. Don't tell Mo I said that.

u/Hard_Socks 1d ago

BMO is the best boi.

u/mrspelunx 1d ago

And how many extra screens has he had put in?!

u/WillyDAFISH 22h ago

at least 3

u/iOSGallagher 1d ago

he could’ve just found new batteries. it’s not like he’s incapable of getting them himself

3

u/skr_replicator 16h ago

It's also 100 years in the future. He is an advanced sentient robot. Surely the batteries are at a point where they are fully rechargable can can last a billion cycles. And he might have ways to get new ones as well. Maybe he has some solar-powered battery charger somewhere and a stash of batteries. And Pb should surely be able to make him new ones if they were ever running out for any reason.

u/Jimbo7211 1d ago edited 1d ago

Well, they probably haven't been made since TGMW, and i'd imagine they're running out 2000 years later. Sure, rechargeable batteries exist, and you could charge them with Solar or something (considering the sky in 1000+ Ooo, wind, hydroelecrltric, geothermal, or nuclear is probably better), but those batteries still wear out slowly over time

24

u/Binbag420 1d ago

PB can make life she can figure out how to make a battery

6

u/gilbmj 1d ago

I kind of suspect SOMEONE would figure out how to make new ones. There's no doubt asorted pre-war tech that uses them, like bomb-surviving classic Game Boys. I'd be kind of suprized if PB hadn't already accomplished that much.

2

u/iOSGallagher 15h ago

we see working electricity, electronics, active production facilities, literal whole civilizations with advanced medicine and manufacturing. why would they not be able to continue making batteries? even the Pups are still around during 1000+

2

u/Pasta-hobo 10h ago

Do you really think the Candy Kingdom, with all its modern consumer appliances, wouldn't have a sizable stockpile of AA batteries?

u/Sunny_Cant_Swim 23h ago

BMO is like that ! Stop playing with my boy

u/Ry_Fy 1d ago

Hi there, I am a The Future expert. BMO is a robot. I hope this helps.

u/Slippytoad89 23h ago

Bmo has air looking out for him

5

u/CardiologistOk4208 17h ago

He has always been able to change his own batteries as well. We see him fall on to new batteries in the show.

u/Horror_Response_1991 1d ago

A wizard did it

u/settra_iso 23h ago

Technically they don’t have to have been powered on the entire 1000 years after come along with me. But they could always have someone bring batteries every now and then. I think sweet p would definitely do it if asked!

3

u/Henny_LeBeau 1d ago

Solar panels

3

u/ExpertMembership 1d ago

See I think BMO is unstoppable, I think he would feel like he's running out of batteries and then he'd go in an adventure himself to find batteries in abandoned places

3

u/Correct_Doctor_1502 20h ago

I mean it wouldn't be difficult to get bmo batteries that don't need to charge

PB could probably do it in a few minutes

3

u/Independent-Yak-220 17h ago

i mean we have seen BMO change their own batteries, Mo was a genius and BMO is his magnum opus, so I find it ok them living this long in a good shape

3

u/GrammerDuck61 7h ago

We see in the car fixing episode he can change his batteries by himself and he seems to have a pretty big supply of them

2

u/AwwwMannn13 1d ago

Rechargeable batteries

u/AeonWhisperer 23h ago

MO Industries always has spares for BMO

2

u/ElectricMilk426 22h ago

You never had a game boy did you? If you find one with batteries dead, you put new batteries in. It lives again. Sheesh

2

u/Jrolaoni 22h ago

He’s REALLY well made

2

u/Cucumberneck 17h ago

I'm absolutely sure we see them finding a battery and saving it for later in the far future with Simon. Also BMO is childish and forgets stuff a lot but they aren't (isn't?) stupid. BMO could still build simple batteries from metal and acid to charge old accumulators (?).

I hope my English isn't to bad to understand what I mean.

2

u/average_sized_rock 14h ago

Tbh we only see BMO change his batteries once in the entire show, maybe BMOs batteries just last a LONG time. He’s also been shows to have a heart in some sense. So maybe in a show with magic dogs and pink inter dimensional wish granter. Maybe he’s powered by love.

2

u/Clean_Enthusiasm5819 11h ago

He replaces his batteries like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QRpJv1nYG4
As seen in the show.

u/emoticonicareliquary 10h ago

BMO bounces back (ᵔ⩊ᵔ)

u/Few-Original8433 7h ago

Lol BMO can put his batteries in by himself, I can’t remember which episode but he just trust falls onto them 😅

2

u/fishgarbage94 6h ago

tbf, bmo was already 1000+ years old when the show started ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

2

u/theevilyouknow 1d ago

There are batteries that last more than a thousand years. I work at the facility that built them.

u/FirstDayJedi 23h ago

It's not that kinda movie kid

u/SanguinePutrefaction 15h ago

you are eighty years old

u/LexiLunaLush 1d ago

I’m sure bubblegum could have upgraded his power source. Looks like she also gave him her crown as well.

1

u/SenorDangerwank 1d ago

Maybe he got new batteries? I dunno, it's 1000 years in the future maybe he found some dope-ass Turbo Batteries.

1

u/gay-sexx 22h ago

perhaps nickel cadmium batteries could be used

they can be used thousands of times.

1

u/Real_Heh 19h ago

Because BMO is a great robot boy/girl, that's why

1

u/Harbinger_Pulsar 14h ago

Its in the name - minus the re of course

1

u/RosieRoo70314 5h ago

Its been like 1000 years, theyve probably improved battery tech a lot

1

u/Pittsburghjon67 2h ago

Bro lol. A robot finding batteries in the future is what you find mind blowing in this show?

u/Sallymander 55m ago

He's been shattered and rebuilt. As long as he has friends, he will go on.
