![]() Instead the original butler is cast as an entirely antagonistic character that pops out of Pep’s mouth to berate him about not doing well enough and needing to be more evil. This dynamic could be fun and interesting if the original Peppermint Butler were popping out to help young Pep study his demonology or hone his transmutation skills. ![]() Pep seems to be a wholly new character that the original Peppermint Butler (also voiced by Steve Little) somehow imbued with his essence, which takes the form of a ghost-like Peppermint Butler who can force himself out of Pep’s mouth to lecture the youngster. But Pep isn’t just a younger version of the Peppermint Butler fans grew to love over the course of the original show. It opens with Abracadaniel (Steve Little) partially witnessing what seems to be the murder of Choose Goose (Jeff Bennett) in a dark alley of the city before introducing us to the now tween Peppermint Butler (Mace Montgomery Miskel), or rather “Pep”, as he’s now calling himself so that he isn’t recognized as the renowned dark magician who has been banned from entering Wizard City. Sadly, the special disappoints in the areas where it matters most. And in the wake of not one, but two wonderfully emotional, hilarious, and lore-expanding specials, it seemed like Wizard City was going to be an indispensable piece of Adventure Time for fans of Peppermint Butler. The fact that Wizard City would also involve a mystery that Peppermint Butler seems to be at the center of, in a suspicious and perhaps villainous way, only added to the intrigue about what this special would offer. The announced premise of the special, that Peppermint Butler would be attending Wizard School (unsurprisingly located in the titular Wizard City) to redevelop his magical skills after being struck with dum dum juice and reverting to a child in the final season of the show, sounded like an opportunity for fans to see not just more of the character, but also to learn more about his studies and practices, something that we only ever got glimpses of in the original Adventure Time. So the news that Wizard City would give us nearly an hour of Peppermint Butler was very exciting for fans of the little occultist butler. But he makes almost every second that he’s on screen count, and every time we see him perform a ritual it feels like a tease of what we could see if we were ever let into his day-to-day. Peppermint Butler is the only one of those characters to not have any episodes of the original show focused solely on him, and he doesn’t even get a starring role in any of the Grayble episodes.
