>>102808684To add on this: I think they should've had PB tell Finn things were very different in her head back when she was deaged.
Finn starts out as more chivalrous 'I will protect the princesses because it is right' kind of mindset. Fight the monsters because the princess thinks it's a danger to her people, solve problems because he identifies as a person who does just that. Joshua and Margaret were, adventuring aside, in much the same business, they fought demons and shit. Finn is following in their footsteps and extrapolating that into 'help because the princess says so'
Trouble is, PB doting on him is misconstrued as romantic intent as Finn enters the foul nether regions of puberty. Which leads to a really bad instance of miscommunication, her not making her feelings about Finn clear, and not understanding that Finn would, or could, have feelings for her. Her lack of humanity almost destroys their relationship. She just didn't get why other people weren't as clinical and objective as she was.
She literally couldn't see things from those perspectives, and if she could, she refused to treat those perspectives as valid which was a major character flaw and bites her in the ass with BillyLich and then later Flame Princess.
She just ouldn't grasp people valuing their emotions over 'what's logical'
'of COURSE Finn should understand that he can't be with FP, what's this talk about him 'getting over me, I don't follow'
This all could have led PB to be a spectacular villan in AT. Her heel face turn should have been codified in the story. Her realizing 'you are not a good person just because you can rationalize your actions' has a nice vibe to it.
