>As adorable as little kid Dipper and Mabel are, why exactly did Dipper just happen to have a razor on him? And couldn’t he have just lent Mabel his hat to cover up the gum? (The answer, at least for the second question, is that Dipper is pretty committed to hiding that birthmark of his. The answer to the first question is probably just to be quiet and let the cuteness wash over me. I’m all right with that, at least this once.)

Actually, if Dipper offered his hat to Mabel and showed his birthmark that moment would've been surprisingly poignant.

How much better would this episode have been if the bubble was subtle, making the characters unsure of what was reality and what was fiction? If the conflict was about not wanting to grow up and let go instead of a tacky, obviously fake playpen that would get old real quick? If Mabel had to choose to "grow up" and leave/destroy the bubble herself, rather than having Dipper do all the work again?

Imagine an episode where the bubble is Mabel's endless summer, and the Dipper is pretty much the same as our Dipper, except he doesn't want to stay with Ford. Imagine if Mabel had to tear her dream Dipper and her happiness apart with her own two hands, knowing that she might be saying goodbye to Dipper, if not now, than someday as they grow up and inevitably have their own lives.

Imagine that episode.

>>
>>77691826

So let's look at the options:

-Infinity die and all the other stuff in the Shack, copy machine, basement stuff etc.
-Ford at the Fearamid, but how will they get there?
-McGucket and his junkyard tech
-Gideon, possibly captured
-Gnomes, Manotaurs, Multi-bear alliance
-Blendin
>>
Guts got off the boat.
>>
>>77692196

See, if the humor had been great in this episode, I wouldn't complain, but it really wasn't a very funny/fun episode either. The bubble was just happy talking animals and not very creative.

>>77692233

It's all been done before already, but from a characterization viewpoint, it would have been better. Remember when Mabel realizes Blendin is Bill right before he knocks her out? She's horrified. But when they run into her here, there's no guilt, she's not upset at all, it's just "reality is lame-o and in here there's peppy 80s music."

>>77692221

It could seem to the characters that Weirdmageddon was a dream or a hallucination.

Actually, I just realized the episode would have been much better even if everything stayed the same, but they explored Mabel's feelings more. If she and Dipper had a moment, like, "Even if we stop Bill, if we go out there, eventually we'll grow apart like Stan and Ford. But here, we can be Mystery Twins forever."

Instead the conflict wasn't about growing apart like they hinted in AToTS or growing up vs. not growing up. Ir's "it's better to have silly talking animals than boring reality" and there's no weight to anything that happens in the episode.
>>
Why did the time cops confront Bill directly instead of popping back to before he broke out?

Exactly. None of the characters has to grow at all and they aren't explored. Even if it's cliche, it would have been a great opportunity for characterization to have at least some conflict and struggle there.

Having them all know right away it's not real and waltz out of there made the entire bubble plot seem like a pointless diversion, you could cut it without effecting anything. Notice that Mabel and Dipper didn't even talk about the Ford apprentice ship in the bubble. Instead, once they got out, she just said she was ok with it and Dipper immediately abandoned the idea. The fact that Mabel was ok with replacing Dipper with someone who was nothing like him also cheapened the concern with that situation in the first place. It seemed like Mabel's real problem with Dipper is that he isn't "radical and totally awesome" enough, not that he was leaving. If they'd had fantasy Dipper talk about how he would never leave her, that would have actually addressed the issue, but it didn't.

>>
>>77692599
Dubs of truth.
>>
My production theory:

>Alex plans for three seasons
>Completes S1 as intended while fleshing out S2
>Incomplete outline for S3
>S1 production takes a toll on his soul
>decides to compress S2 and S3 into one season, as well as finish the series off entirely with a movie
>manages to squish S2 down to eleven episodes, becoming the first half of S2

But assuming that Alex never had a fleshed-out S3, which he likely would have done during the production of S2, he could only more or less use his basic outline of events. Furthermore, the movie was never given the go-ahead, so Alex was forced to incorporate it into the series itself by means of a multi-part series finale.

So that's twenty episodes of Seasons 2 and 3 each (40 episodes total) compressed into ten or eleven episodes each, minus three or four episodes in Season 3 to make way for the movie.

Or something like that. But what I'm trying to get at is that if the latter half of Season Two feels underwhelming, it's entirely possible that it's because of the compression of a story that wasn't even entirely there.

Im disappointed that it's once again Dipper making a sacrifice for Mabel

He gave up his dream apprenticeship way to easily. He went from being happy as a clam and excited for it to, "I don't want to be a weirdo like Ford" in the amount of time it took me to right that sentence. It just comes off as another sacrifice so Mabel can get what she wants.

Better idea.

Yes we're growing apart but Im always going to be your twin. That will never change no matter where in the world we are. Stan and Ford grew apart because they refused to talk, but if you ever need anything, ANYTHING Im only a phone call away and I promise Ill be there when you need me"

No he wasn't. Look at his body language when Ford suggests it. He's really unsure, and only agrees when Ford just flatters him unceasingly about how he's special. It's Ford's dream, not Dipper's. Once he actually takes stock, he rejects it, even when Mabel gives him the all clear.

Basically. I don't hate Alex at all but I think he and possibly others working on the show just wanted to get it over with. So they rushed and slapped together the last, compressed season.

Life happens, it's a business, there are practical constraints, I understand.

I just feel sad that we could have gotten much better payoffs from the character arcs, plot, and mysteries if it hadn't been squished and rushed.

NWHS, NMM, DaMvtF, and a few other episodes really show what the series could do and was capable of. Some of this was great television. And now, the resolution the series has been building towards the whole time is underwhelming, that tends to leave a sour taste about what came before.
>>
>>77692957

Dipper by nature is someone who's often unsure of himself. That's his thing. He's an unconfident little nerd he was always gonna be hesitant for anything at first. But then he saved ford from an alien probe action hero style and realized he was destined for greatness after all.

What's more the way it's presented is him giving it up for Mable.

Body language says a lot.

Dipper never really wanted to Ford's apprentice, at least not for long. He was excited at first, until he realized he wouldn't have Mabel, and quickly grew uncomfortable as Ford started projecting his own issues with Stan (isn't it suffocating?) onto his and Mabel's relationship. Ford thought people like Stan and Mabel only held "special people" like him and Dipper back. Dipper only said yes because he didn't want to upset Ford, but he was already reconsidering it by the end of the episode.

Ford pressured and manipulated Dipper into agreeing to be the successor of his "legacy", but that would mean growing up without mutual support from Mabel. Being his apprentice was never Dipper's dream, it was Ford's.

For a fair number of people, this episode killed a lot of hype.

It did for me. I was super hyped, but now I tend to imagine the finale will also feel like an incredibly low stakes episode with shallow characterization. I also doubt any of the mysteries will amount to anything or be resolved.

I'm expecting Bill to get defeated in a very asspull, lame way, partially because Bill is retarded, not because any of the other characters are clever and heroic. I expect the Stan and Ford wrap up to get 30 seconds tops. I expect the episode will waste time on Wendip yet again.

Seriously, what sort of "great things" does Ford expect to help Dipper achieve? A life of running around the back-ass-woods of Oregon chasing boogeymen isn't exactly the same as the free scholarship to a prestigious university Ford was offered as a youth.

Ford just seems to be putting way too much false importance in himself and his "work".

Yeah, Dippy Fresh was something that really needed expanding upon. Like, the very thought of Mabel creating a "more-agreeable" version of her brother is a bit disturbing, not to mention the other people she created such as the teenagers, Soos' father, and another Wendy.

But there's also the notion that the world of Mabeland itself created those people, as evidenced by Mabel's line about how some things are created before you even know you want it, and Bill and Dipper's remarks about how the entire bubble is nothing but a trap.
I'd suggest that in the writing process, it was agreed that Mabeland would be its own living entity, not one of sight or of sound but of mind. But in the actual final script, that idea failed to come out fully. We got tastes of it, like the breakdown of Mabeland after the trial, but no concrete evidence that Mabel was never fully in control and that everything was naught but a distraction, presumably to keep her occupied while Bill wreaked havoc outside, and eventually to unceremoniously take her new world away from her and throw her to Gideon after everything was done.

Or something along those lines.

Why does everyone find the idea of Mabel's ideal Dipper disturbing?

Didn't everyone always have fantasies of your parents being unreasonably nice to you, especially after you went through a row?

Dipper knew mentioning Mabel more wouldn't lead anywhere, since Ford quickly tried to "shut down" his argument by telling him that Mabel's holding him back, she has "personality" so she'll be fine, etc. But by the end of the episode Dipper's still concerned about her and reconsidering his decision, but again Ford shifts the focus to the mission and how Dipper can handle it.

I honestly wouldn't describe Dipper's romantic aspirations as an important plot detail, but I will agree that it's something that at this point does need a conclusion, given that Dipper still pines for Wendy to some degree.

"Into The Bunker" was the resolution.
Why they brought it back for "Roadside Attraction" I'll never know.

Hell, they could have at least had some set-up to that in "The Love God" by getting Dipper to accidentally drink Some Kind of Love Potion. Then we'd at least have an origin point.

The only other explanation is that "Roadside Attraction" was meant to come earlier in the series.

I thought the idea Mabel would have a replacement Dipper in her bubble made perfect sense. I think it's pretty common for kids to selfishly want the people around them to behave differently. I remember wishing I could wake up one day and find my siblings were suddenly nicer to me. Maybe that was because we fought more than the average family, but I recall having those thoughts often. The ethical ramifications of magically forcing those people to change tend to go over your average kid's head.

And besides, she'd been in that bubble for four days. Considering all this was brought on by a fear of her brother leaving her, it would be stranger if there wasn't a DoppelDipper in a world where she has everything she wants.

I did find Dippy Fresh disappointing for other reasons, though. >>77692715 summed up my thoughts on that pretty well.

>I'd imagine it must be even more common if you were a girl.

>People honestly thinking Dipper is a nicer person than Mabel

Yeah, Mabel certainly has flaws, but the only reason people side with Dipper is how he's portrayed as an underdog all the time. He's not really a nice person:

>Summons "the best fighter in the world" to rough up a teenager
>Purposefully breaks up a relationship just so he can get her instead
>"Revenge is awesome."
>Autistically records every time he bests his sister at anything to remind her about it.
>Screws up a whole night where his sister and friends try to bail him out of being on the bad side of the Summerween monster to get to some party he would do nothing at.
>Was entirely willing to let the ghost out in NWM except that Mabel was there, abandoning everyone there to certain doom.
>Will only help Stan in Dreamscrapers if it can be shown that Stan loves him, and is perfectly willing to abandon him if otherwise.
>Is perfectly willing to let Pacifica die (As bad as Mabel has been, can you imagine her leaving someone to die?)

This is why Mabel has friends and Dipper does not. Mabel seeks to actively help people (Robbie) when everyone else has left them. Mabel inspires loyalty because she accepts her friends, while Dipper is cynical about everyone, and is consequently alone in his age group. That's why everyone shits on Mabel. Her flaws stand out in relation to her character, while Dipper's are just so constant they are accepted as character traits.

Yeah.
All of Gravity Falls and the rest of the world when she got what she wanted.

Dipper might not have many friends but he tries to do mostly the best for those around him, constantly sacrifices for his sister, who doesn't do shit in return and works his ass off.
He's cynical about people who deserve cynicism, makes friends fairly well outside of his age bracket (Manotaurs, Multibear, most of Wendy friendy group, so on) and is happy to step back and let people have their space, while Mabel never lets anything go and always feels the need to insert herself into other peoples problems, even if it makes them worse.

Dipper has a passion for the world and wants to know more, he prepares for things, plans ahead and is mature for his age. He sacrifices for those he cares about and hell, even those he doesn't
He don't owe Gravity Falls as a whole shit but he's more than willing to face off with a transreality demon-prince for it
Mabel was willing to let the world burn so she could live in a Marshmallow Palace.

I know when I was growing up I was always told to do whatever to protect my sister. But I am the oldest, and 7 years older. Maybe Dipper has been told this and is doing it? Thats the only real reason I never get super upset when Dipper drops everything for Mable.

Except the difference between Mabel and Dipper is that one tries to help him, and the other tries to get revenge

The only thing relevant was the intention in working out what makes someone nicer. Dipper was blatantly only doing it for selfish reasons, and immediately made a move on her when she just broke up, in total emotional blindness.
>So is telling the truth
It feels good, but isn't the nicer option.
>And Mabel doesn't do the same, only worse? He doesn't gloat about it, he's just better at some things
He literally gloated about how he always won at everything. That's why Mabel loved being taller than him, because she was finally beating him in something.
>Maybe if Mabel wasn't such an overbearing hooker he could have gone to the party guilt free?
Dipper didn't even have the decency to be honest with her. She didn't know what was going on.

Congratulations, the bare minimum of effort required to not be a total sociopath.

>All of Gravity Falls and the rest of the world when she got what she wanted.
It was clearly established that the world had a hypnotic spell.

Yes, Mabel inserting herself creates problems, but that's not out of vindictiveness.

Why didn't he publish his findings way before then? He was given grant money to study whatever he wants, and he had an entire journal full of shit before meeting Bill. If he wanted to benefit all mankind, he would have published his findings way before building the portal. Hell, he would make a fortune off of patenting just the Percepshrooms

Ah, but it should have been his choice.
And you're assuming that, he could have been very happy with Ford for all we know, Dipper has a passion for discovery.
It shouldn't have been down to Mabel to blackmail him emotionally into giving up what was for him, a dream come true, just to make her feel better.

I don't really see why he wouldn't be happy with Ford.

He'd still be able to communicate with the townsfolk. He'd still be able to visit Mabel and have her come visit him.

He's more of an introvert anyway.

It really did just seem forced. Dipper was probably his happiest in the entire show when he got to act like a big nerd with Ford.

I do like Ford, but I don't think he's the golden boy that some consider him to be. He has strength and flaws, like the other characters. You're quite right in that he's the smartest intellectually, but that doesn't cover common sense.

>Dipper would not have been happy with Ford long-term at this time.
Only this episode introduced that and it came out f no where. Since Ford came back Dipper has just wanted to get closer to him and every time he has it is a good experience for him

And so what if he decides actually this isn't for me? Then he can fucking leave, Ford would be cool with that

Or better yet, why does Ford not announce the UFO, or the portal?

My head-canon is that he's really bitter about the world, and just wants to record all these findings for himself, like it's his little secret. This further explains why it would be a bad idea for Dipper to go down that path.

That was my point. Even though I think Mabel is the nicer one, I still like Dipper more for my own reasons. I'm just sick of everyone talking about Mabel as if she's being vindictive, when she clearly isn't.

>>77695010

Ford is a hermit that seems to consider humanity in general to have cooties. If you want to keep in touch with people, living with him is about the second worst thing you could do (with the first being jumping into the portal).
>>
>>77694971
Know what family involves?
Give and take, it doesn't just involve 'Well, I was born related to you, bend me over and take me gently'
Mabel gives nothing and takes everything.
And Ford is basically, as far as Dipper is concerned, that cool Uncle that he's really similar to who's got a lot of life experience and can give him advice.
That's family as well you know, why shouldn't Dipper want to grow as a person?

And no one is happy 'long-term'; but know what? Dipper would have been happier than he was right then and there, for a while at least, he could have learned more about himself by being with someone a touch similar to him that doesn't mock his tastes and denigrate his tastes?

And you do realize that if Mabel manned the fuck up then they could have parted on amiable terms, the reason Stan and Ford bailed on each other is because Ford literally thought that Stan fucked his life over, for entirely selfish reasons.
You know, exactly what Mabel is in fact doing in the series during this last arc? Maybe her real fear is that with someone around who understands him, Dipper will realize what a Cunt his sister is?

If the theme of the show is family, why isn't Mabel willing to make any sacrifices for Her family and accept that they are different people to an extent.
What kind of Faberge relationship does she have with Dipper, that it can't survive a few months apart?
>>
I don't understand why they had to take a story about uncovering the secrets of a mysterious town and turn it into yet another show where the entire world is at stake from total destruction.

I don't understand why people are saying that Dipper wouldn't be happy if we was Ford's apprentice. Especially if they're using Ford and Stan's past as an example.

>Stanford tells Stanley that he might be leaving to a good college and that they won't be able to spend time with each other as much
>Out of sadness, Stanley messes up the machine on accident

>Dipper tells Mabel that he might become Ford's apprentice and that they won't be able to spend time with each other as much

There was nothing wrong with Ford wanting to go to a good college as there is nothing wrong with Dipper wanting to be Ford's apprentice.

Stan had it seriously rough.

Forty years, man. That's a fucking lot of time.

To be fair, building a trans-dimensional portal, while cool as fuck, is rather sketchy-sounding. If I were in the government, I'd be nervous too. Plus, Stan had a crime record that spans the entire country. Regardless of the portal, the feds would be after him.

>I don't really see why he wouldn't be happy with Ford.

In Dipper's own words:
>Mabel, I thought you were living a fantasy, but look at me. I actually thought I was gonna stay here and be Ford's apprentice! Spend my entire teens cooped up in a basement with a labcoat? How ridiculous is that?

As >>77694987 pointed out, Dipper has been caught up in the joy of finally having another family member who shares some of his interests. In that sense, Ford is wonderful for Dipper.

Unfortunately, in other ways they aren't nearly so compatible.

First, Dipper loves nerdy shit and uncovering mysteries, but he's very different from Ford. He's not a scientist, no matter how smart he might be. His investigations are all about uncovering the truth and showing it off to others: he wanted to take photos of the Gobblewonker and get money and recognition for it. Studying it never even entered into his head. And of course, there's that ghost hunting show he wants to produce.

Second, while he shares a lot of Ford's interests, that doesn't guarantee he'd be happy doing the work Ford does in the long term. Ford doesn't care about gaining recognition anymore: he's happy in his own insular world. Dipper wants to go out and make his mark. Eventually, that might have generated friction between them.

Lastly, although Dipper gets cast as the Ford twin because of their obvious similarities, he's actually more similar to Stan when you scratch the surface.

Like Stan, Dipper's number one priority is usually his sibling. We see him make tough decisions again and again, and he always (eventually) puts Mabel's needs and wants before his own. Some people might argue that's unhealthy. And sometimes it can be. But it also shows how making the people he loves happy is important to Dipper. He values his relationship with his sister, and living apart from her would have been very hard on him too. Call it co-dependence or whatever you want, but it's something Dipper chooses for himself.

Pretty good summary.

To be honest, I've had to go through a similar dilemma in my life, and I've come to the conclusion that the only thing that brings lasting happiness are positive relationships with those around you, friends and family. Ultimately, being cooped up and investigating spooky stuff without ever being able to show it off to the world sounds pretty miserable after the thrill goes.
>>
>>77695577
And yet giving up the whole thing without even trying it reeks of trying to appease other people.
It stinks of 'Oh yeah, it'd never work out' and talking himself out of it.
I wasn't pointing out that he was caught up in the joy, I was pointing out that unlike the rest of the family, Ford 'gets' him on some level.
Mabel just doesn't from what we've seen so far.

How can anyone begrudge him wanting that?

Dipper has Ford's love of nerdy shit and science, yes... but he also has Stan's fierce love for his family and desperate need to be acknowledged. Mabel has Stan's social orientation, yes, but where Dipper has spent the entire series terrified of other people's perception's, Mabel has a lot of Ford's lack of care for the world's opinions (as well as his overconfidence).

The new Pines are not a repeat of the old Pines, even if said old Pines tried to make them be. They're their own thing.

People expecting the finale to answer everything will be disappointed. The point of the show is speculation.

>Dipper has way more similarities with Ford in personality, interests, and behavior
>just cause he cares about Mabel doesn't make him more similar to Stan

Interests, I'll agree with you on. Personality? Yes and no.

Ford is very self-centered and inward-looking. In some ways, he's as self-absorbed as Mabel. Look at how he dealt with the security drones on the alien ship. For him, the answer was looking inwards and finding strength in his own capabilities.

But that did absolutely nothing for Dipper, because that's not how he thinks. Instead, Dipper found his strength in his desire to protect Ford.

Dipper can come off as gloriously selfish jerk sometimes (his reaction to Pacifica's proposal in NMM was priceless). But whenever he's really kicked ass, it's been for the sake of his family and friends: Dreamscaperers, Gideon Rises, D&MvtF, etc.

Compare that to Stan, in Scary-Oke and NWHS. Stan's greatest moments have all been about what he can do to protect his family.

Taste is being able to notice things you don't like, even in a series or genre you do like, or flaws with things that you enjoy and being able to put words to the reason you don't enjoy things others might.

Its good to have this as it allows you to define what you personally enjoy or don't enjoy about a product and so advise others on it, it also helps you expand your views on what's good or not by being able to intentionally pick things you don't usually try.
Or, in this case, to explain what you didn't like about something when a program you liked dropped the ball harder than the BBC dropped the Saville legacy after the diddling truth came out.
In other words, Taste is what helps discern bad meat from good meat and rotten food from can still eat it.
Or do you just shovel steaming piles of poisoned mushrooms down your gullet followed by a carton of rotten milk and proclaim that obviously not noticing the difference is superior. After all, not like you notice the difference, amirite?

Yeah, Taste is objective, but after a show that was of such high quality, the fact Hirsche obviously doesn't give a fuck about giving it a decent ending is showing through hard.

Sorry m8, but this is a subjective media. I could talk about how Citizen Kane is a pile of shit because of the plot-holes, or I could realise that watching a film/TV show is an emotional experience where my interest in the story/characters is the main driver. I still love the characters of Gravity Falls, I still love the writing, I still love a whole bunch of things about it.

Was it my favourite episode? No. Was it underwhelming in parts? Yes. Was it outright bad? No.

The underlying basics of Gravity Falls are still intact, and they ensure that even the worst episodes are just mediocre.

>>77696451

It's a shame Wendy's temptation in the bubble was just an opportunity to hang out with her friends and get revenge on her principal.

I mean, I get why they went that route. Her dislike of high school was fresh in viewers' minds after D&MvtF. And although her hidden issues were touched on slightly in SotBE, they weren't expanded on enough to justify bringing them up again them so late in the story. It wasn't a bad call.

But compared to Soos, who got to have a longstanding personal problem addressed (even if it was mostly played for laughs), I feel like she was shortchanged.

I'm already sick of "if only there had been more episodes" posts, but I really do wish there had been a Wendy-centric episode that did for her what Blendin's Game

As far as we know, there's only one copier in the Shack, and that's the one used in Double Dipper.

>I think Alex hinted at Disney taking over the series in one of his interviews with TV Insider.

He stated that it was technically possible for Disney to continue the show without his blessing since they own all the rights to Gravity Falls. But he didn't imply there was an immediate plan to do so.

Additionally, the press statement Disney issued on the finale indicates they plan to respect his decision, at least for now:
>Alex Hirsch had a masterful plan for the stories and characters of ‘Gravity Falls’ and, through 40 episodes and 17 shorts, he and a team of outstanding writers, artists and actors consistently delivered an inspired and unique story. Alex made the decision to conclude the story at this time, and while we’re disappointed we all won’t have the opportunity to explore more of the ‘Gravity Falls’ world, we respect his creative vision
http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/gravity-falls-alex-hirsch-series-finale-1201645937/
>>
Okay guys I needed somewhere to vent about last night's episode. Here I go.

We all agree that that episode was FUCKING AWFUL, right? Like the whole thing, maybe except the very end with multi-bear. Everything felt so rushed and forced it felt like Gravity Falls was just straight up saying Alex gave up trying to tell a coherent and smooth story. Not only is Mabel an infinity cunt, but I can't believe Dipper gave into that bullshit. He decides to completely rekt his entire future to frolic with Mabel his entire life. WHY? Why did Soos and Wendy just abandon Dipper like that? What was the point of introducing all those cool dream characters only not to use them in the final battle? How did Waddles get into the dream world? How are Zyler and Craz real? Why are Bill's henchmen not doing shit? Why is Robbie in the throne if he's on the wheel? Is the wheel even significant? How are they going to wrap this up in one hour? Why are they still telling jokes awkwardly in intense situations? How did everyone get to the shack? Is this even Gravity Falls? The writing doesn't indicate it. It was cliche, unfunny, frustrating, and horribly paced. Holy shit. I watched this show for 4 fucking years and got absolutely nothing out of it. It promised more than it gave. I thought Dipper and Mabel were going to discover the secrets of the universe? What was Ford even doing in that portal? Why did they end season 1 making seem like this show would be so much more epic. This Weirdmageddon arc doesn't even feel like it fits the serious tone of the show. What is this? What happened to intense episodes like Gideon Rises, Scary-oke, Into the Bunker, Northwest Mansion Mystery, Not What He Seems, and A Tale Of Two Stans? This is like the biggest kick in the nuts I've ever gotten from a show. And I thought Adventure Time was disappointing.

Not quite. She had a disc replacement, but that was like 4-5 months ago, way after they recorded for Season 2. It in no way affected her voice, she just needed to rest for a few weeks.

are there good mp4s of season 2, or are the mkvs the only thing

A comic could work
I'm sure it will sell well

Watching it for the third time and saw that Alex gave his biggest fans a shoutout

That and the Invader Zim revival comic have set a pretty decent precedent for bringing back cartoons in comic form.

As long as they have enough of the original writers on board (with Hirsch in charge, of course), I can easily see it working.

If it's not superscience or paranormal, probably not. But he might say something polite about it.
>>
>>77697723
>How did everyone get to the shack?

Stan was shown nailing up signs on trees at the start of Weirdmaggedon (when he was attacked by JUMBO Gompers). And we saw the survivors from the town fleeing into the forest.

Presumably, they followed the arrows.

Not according to Alex. He shits on lorefags and says the point of the show is the characters and the emotions of the story.

And then the show will make out Dipper as the villain for getting mad at her.
>>
>>77695939
speculation that never goes anywhere, never gets resolved, is garbage. It's unfulfilling and a cheap, lazy way to tell a story.
>>
>>77697704
The Rick and Morty comics are good, despite having little to do with the show's story team. Same with The Last Airbender (The Search being extremely true to the original, but I think Bryke were involved in that).
>>
At least wer're getting merchandise still. Time Pirates and Journal 3 will ease the pain.
>>
>>77697773
I agree with Zim, but Hirsch doesn't deserve it. Like Cleveland show or American Dad without Seth.

I think that a comic (IDW wish) would be a great way too continue it as long as the characters aren't too OOC. Make it the next summer too.

We already got an explanation for GF's weirdness - the boundary between our dimension and the weird dimension is weak enough in GF that the weirdness leaks in.
>>
Does anyone know when they will air the 1 hour long finale?
Also the show made me really doubt if Bill will win until Weirdmageddon part 2, it's going to be a mlp ending where everything is solved by the power of friendship..
The only thing i wish is a good final fight between the pines and bill just that
>>
>>77698010

That's pure fan speculation. It's not a bad explanation, but it has yet to be confirmed in canon.

It's a mystery

I think you can get most (if not all) of the episodes at 1080p mp4's on Kat, but they are extremely compressed. Like, YIFY style compressed. Might look OK on phone or tablet. If you want high quality mp4's, I suggest getting the .mkv's and converting them using Handbrake or something.
>>
>>77697920
And that is exactly why this rushed pace is hurting the series. It needs more episodes.
>>
>>77697685

There was already a game (for the DS, I believe). It's the one that revealed that Dipper was born with his umbilical cord around his neck and almost died
>>
>>77698074
No. One article said early 2016, but it has yet to be confirmed by Disney or Alex, which means it's not to be taken seriously. Though, considering Disney's air schedule around December and the rerun promos, it's likely correct that we won't be seeing it in 2015.

How are they going to have time for a funeral, birthday, and goodbye in one episode, Alex?

That was some unexpectedly dark shit.

You know, that particular excerpt from the game gave me the impression that in spite of his ways, Stan really wanted a family of his own.

What the fuck!? Man, this is some fucking bullshit! What the fuck am I supposed to watch? All I have left is:

>TTG
>SvFE (when it finally comes back)
>We Bare Bears (and I hate it)
>The Muppets (which is shit)
>Black Jesus (which is getting shitty)
>No Venture Bros.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!? I've had TiVo record all the episodes of SU, but I don't want to take the plunge. I hate lesbians and am very very upset with Sugar for leaving AT. Should I do it? Anyone have any recommendations for what I should watch based on my shitty tastes?

Of course not

Dipper found Journal 3, which resulted in fighting Gideon, which resulted in him losing Journal 2, which resulted in Stan using both along with Journal 1 to complete the portal, which resulted in Mabel not pressing the button to shut down the portal, which resulted in the rift forming with Ford's arrival.

Still, even then, three other characters take blame above Dipper.

Not trying to excuse him, but I'm just saying.

No, I understand. I was just trying to put together a list of all involved, and that's a good addition. Of the Pines family, it does indeed seem that Dipper did the least in regards to directly contributing to Bill's release through his actions, though he definitely played a role.
