Who was in the wrong here?

Come to think of it, the answer seems pretty obvious

I know you guys who make Gravity Falls threads miss it, but let it go guys. Let it go. It's gone and isn't coming back. And even it does come back, it won't change that Alex sucks at writing.

OP

>>89606900

Bill

Speaking of which, was it ever explained in the show or Journal #3 why he had to make a deal with someone before he could get into their head?

>>89607191
Because he'd be OP otherwise

>>89606524
Blendin
Why the fuck does everyone just forget he had a big part in causing the apocalypse. Why would he make a deal with Bill. Shouldn't he of all people be aware of who Bill is?

Every episode that /co/ loves about the show was rewritten by him tho, and the last episodes were the ones that didnt had much rewritte and were mostly scrapped ideas for older episodes - like Mabels bubble - that was suppused to happen on the introduction of Bill.

>>89607191
Demon rules and shit.

>>89607288
I thought someone else wrote Northwest Mansion Mystery.

>>89607251
I think a lot of people forgot because he fucked off back to the future and was never seen or heard from again

>>89607337
We didn't forget. Journal #3 includes a letter from Blendin to Dipper and Mabel explaining how he's hiding in the past so that he doesn't get charged for making a deal with Bill.

>>89607470
The jounral's full of last minute patch up
and damage control, most of which should have been addressed in the actual series

>>89607508
>The jounral's full of last minute patch up
I wouldn't say last minute patch ups. It's clear a lot of work went into it. I wouldn't be surprised if the book was in production before the series finished, and Alex purposely half arsed the ending of the series so fans would buy the book in the hopes of possibly feeling more content with the ending after having read it. Plus that would be more money his pocket.

>>89607251
He made a deal with bill for a new life outside of time baby's rule.

>>89607191

I don't know why, but apart from the "deal with the devil" meme bill isn't actually obligated to do anything on the slightest to fulfill the bargain. It's literally him lying and saying anything to get you to let him in

>>89606524

I don't remember the scene exactly but probably Mable.

>>89608740
yeah I thought that was pretty clear. he cultivates the idea of the deal because your head is the one place it matters (obviously you have to mentally allow someone into your head) but all the other shit he does, he can manipulate the 'terms' to the point of complete arbitrariness.

>>89608740
Which kind makes you wonder why he bothered putting Mabel in the bubble instead of atomizing her in an instant

>>89608893
>Mabel in the bubble instead of atomizing her in an instant
probably because in the book Dipper and Mabel's Guide... it's revealed he actually likes Mabel and relates to her because in his mind, Fun and Chaos are one in the same.

>>89609142
Sounds like this really should have been brought up in the show.

>>89610257
Sounds about right.

>>89609272
I guess so.

>>89608893

Jokes aside it was -

1. Because Bill had to act stupid so that they could beat him so he didn't kill any of the threats to his power like he should have, they made him too OP.

2. They wanted to do an episode where everyone went to save Mable because they had some unused leftover ideas Dreamscaperers they really wanted to use and Mabel is the most popular character for kids and normies so they wanted a Mabel centric episode.

There was really no actually good reason for him to put her in the bubble that holds water, they said it was to give her to Gideon, but Gideon did fuck all and Bill would be stupid to think a six year old would be an asset, fuck it wasn't even clear what Gideon was supposed to be doing aside from protecting the Mabel bubble which only existed to give to Gideon as a prize so he would protect the bubble and...

Basically there was no actual reason for it just fit the episode they wanted to do. I seriously doubt an offhand remark in a tie in book was even remembered or they'd have him spit off one line about why. It also doesn't explain why it was MABEL that Bill picked to kill later.

I mean I would have appreciated it if he'd said he was fond of her or something not for shipping bullshit but just to explain to holes since as it stands his actions don't make much sense.

>>89607191
It bothered me that he didn't have to follow through on the deals he made.

Like he promised that he'd help Dipper get through the password on that computer and he just wrecked it. It'd be funnier if he actually did follow through on the deal and then wreck the computer afterwards.

>>89612911
I guess he was planning to kill Mabel because of how it would affect the others.

>>89613348
At least, that's all I can think of

>>89612911
I can think of how Bill's deals with Dipper and Mabel could have worked out AND still had a similar or even better ending to the episode. For Dipper in the puppet episode, have him say the password in an alien or encrypted message and then bash up the laptop anyway and for Mabel, have her think her dream world is real. Have Dipper and Wendy and Soos force her to really confront what's going on and give her a lesson that life won't always be easy or nice, but there are still things that make it worth living. The fantasy world should be near real life, but with her getting everything she wants all the time (never having to grow up, all the boyfriends, Dipper being stuck with her for good, etc)

>>89606524
Mabel because she is shit about without redeeming qualities.

It kinda seems like there was a good idea for a conflict at the core regarding fears of growing apart from your family and such, but was executed horribly in a way that made it seem like the show was saying you're a terrible person for considering opportunities because your family doesn't like them.

>>89632427
Really, the rift between Dipper and Mabel had a very weak payoff and resolution for all the buildup and foreshadowing it got.

>Pinecest is pretty popular, but what about Stancest?

Not in these threads because they're mostly guys but among fujos yes very very popular.

Most popular pairings fujoshit pairings are probably Billdip, Stancest, and Billford in that order then there's a mixed grabbag of other crap like McGucket/Ford, Robbie/Dipper, Ford/Dipper, Dipper/Stan, one or both Grunkles with Rick from Rick and Morty, Stan/Bill, various threesomes and so on.

>>89632793
I suppose there aren't really any significant adult female characters, so this is kind of a given.

>>89632522
I doesn't help that by making so many blatant parallels between this scenario and the way Stan and Ford drifting apart to Dipper and Mabel's situation they are also telling the audience to draw the same conclusions between the two... which seems to be that Ford (and Dipper) was wrong from the beginning for wanting to get into a good school, rather than all the other stuff he did that was actually shitty like prioritizing being mad about his project over his own brother getting kicked out of the house, etc.

If they really wanted to do a proper parallel between Stan & Ford and Dipper & Mabel and show how the latter are avoiding their mistakes, they would've had Mabel come clean about the rift and explain herself to Dipper, and then have Dipper give his speech about how he'll always try to support her.

But that would mean admitting that Mabel and Stan did something wrong.

>>89632821
>I suppose there aren't really any significant adult female characters, so this is kind of a given.

Hell there aren't any. There's some stuff with Darlene and Stan or Ford and that woman Carla something? And the mutiple eyed monster woman from Journal 3 with Ford. And they're all minor characters.

Maybe if we'd gotten that Wendy and Stan bonding episode they had planned Wendy/Stan would happen.

>>89632955
If you ask me, I think Wendy and Soos are totally secretly banging.

>>89632955

Oh and Pyronica I guess. Another minor character,

Weird I never see Stan/Soos. Or maybe I'm just not looking in the "right" places.

>>89632955
Problem is that most of those characters were either one-shots appearances that barely qualify as cameos, so there isn't a whole lot to work with.

>>89633070
Soos is one of those characters where very few people hate him, but he's far less popular than pretty much everybody else.

>>89632985
>>89633045
I'm gonna say what I said last thread, I actually wouldn't mind. Soos is/was a bro and deserves a hottie like wendy.

>>89608740
That always bugged me.
They could've at least had him come up with loopholes or warped versions of his end of the bargain. Instead it was just 'shake my hand, and I don't have to do shit.'

>>89632985
Wendy x Soos works pretty well really should be more. They are similar and would get along.

But Soos and Melody are happy together.

>>89633165
That always bothered me too although thinking about it is is pretty funny that there's a deal with the devil where the devil just says "fuck you" as soon as he gets what he wants. At least dick genies usually give you a deliberate misinterpretation of your wish they don't just tell you to screw off.

Hell if Gideon hadn't betrayed him Bill probably would have told him to screw off eventually too and kept Mabel for himself.

>>89608740
>>89633165
>>89633280

That still raises the question as to why he even has to bother with the "deal" thing to begin with to get into people's heads. If he is lying and doesn't need to fulfill his end of the bargain, than why can't he just forgo the whole process and take over any body he needs?

And if it was a lie, why would he even bother fulfilling his end of the bargain for Gideon not once, but twice?

>>89632675
Both were reasonably written in their roles, but by the end of their respective shows, both characters had taken drastic turns in personalities that drew a lot of hate from fans.

I don't know why they felt the need to cheap out and say that Giffany wasn't really dead.

>>89633471
Mostly because she was a popular and people wanted to see her come back, I think.

Bill did nothing wrong.

>>89633260
I never said he should replace Melody. I'm just saying that soos is enough of a bro that I kinda don't mind him havin' a lot of ladies.

If you are ever wondering who was in the wrong between Dipper and Mabel, always assume Mabel.

>>89633492
Did any of the villains in the show die?

>>89633471
Giffanyfags made aprox. 1 thread per day complaining that their waifu was dead so Alex caved and rezzed her.

5 bucks says that's the reason for the "Bill's not really dead either guys" backwards messages too.

If people bitched about the mayor enough he would be magically resurrected too.

>>89633564
Unless you count the lumberjack ghost ascending into the afterlife as dying, then no.

>>89633564
The trickster, the wax statues, Mabelland, The zombies, The ghosts(technically), Bill himself.

>>89633471
When did they say that?
And where is she then?

>>89633589
I think the mayor was specifically created as a character literally nobody would miss

>>89633564
Bill though the messages and CYOA say he'll come back but I don't see the point since the series is over. For fanfic writers I guess.

>>89633589
They also let Darlene live, despite her being a giant spider monster and an admitted murderer.

>>89633661
And comics/another series if Alex's new show doesn't pan out I guess.

>>89633656
In the Journal. She's in the same arcade machine as Rumble.

And honestly, they deserve each other. They're both kinda pricks.

>>89633623
I count him getting an axe to the head as dying.

>>89633699
I know she didn't have any role in the actual town, but I wish they had brought her back for Weirdmageddon.

At the very least, a final peek-in on her after the climax would have been a nice reminder that weird stuff isn't limited to only Gravity Falls.

>>89633800
Speaking of weird shit, I kinda wished they didn't go with the "weirdness magnet to a weirdness dimension" thing and just had it that the world happened to have supernatural stuff.

>>89633730
Oh, neat

>>89633589
Maybe I'm a fag, but I'm kinda glad Bill and Giffany aren't gone for good. I liked them, and it's not like it has much impact on the story either way.

>>89633701
It was actually to keep the Russian Billfags from attacking Alex with broken vodka bottles, they got really pissed off at him just for his ugly Bill joke drawing in the stream.

>>89633822

They were thinking of bringing the MotW back at first for the finale then changed their minds. Maybe you would have seen her.

>>89632586
What I don't get is if the apprenticeship was supposed to be a bad thing, why did they put it in such a good light?

>"This is what I was talking about. How many other twelve year olds are capable of doing what you've just done?"

Maybe I'm seeing more importance in that moment than it was meant to have. After Dipper's past admission that it hurts when Mabel and Stan make fun of him, it was endearing to see Ford do the opposite and build up his confidence.

>>89624438
> the who hypnotizing thing that was never explained.
?

>>89634435
Robbie's CD and song for Wendy, and the mystery of whether or not it actually had hypnotic properties.

>>89634188
I think some of that stems from how little on-screen development was given to Ford and that they maybe over simplified the issue.

Between the journal, the few bits we see of them in the show, and things Alex has said about him, it seems like the idea was that Ford's philosophy was that in order to be "great" you have to basically cut all ties with your loved ones because they'll inevitably hold you back, but the way they presented this was conflating physical distances as being the same as emotional distance and never followed through except for a single comment Dipper makes about how being Ford's apprentice would mean being stuck in a basement for the rest of his life (which doesn't make a whole lot of sense since everything we were shown indicates the majority of Ford's studies is outdoors)

tl;dr It was supposed to be a "Thing looks like a great idea on the surface but has unseen cons" sort of deal, but with how rushed the finale was they didn't bother with the second half.

>>89634469
OK

>>89634435
I also didn't understand why they never had Mabel hypnotizing Dipper to think and act like her.

>>89634482
I didn't get that basement comment either.

Everything from Ford's flashback from A Tale of Two Stans to the "where are they now" reel during the finale shows that Ford's spends little time in a laboratory and more time out adventuring.

I guess they just really wanted to get the show over with.

Mabel could have hypnotized Dipper to keep him from taking Ford's apprenticeship. Weirdmageddon would have been avoided.

They could have gone back home hand-in-hand, smiling and perky and wearing matching sweaters.

>>89634932
Weirdmageddon could've also been avoided had Mabel gotten sucked into the portal that Ford came out of.

Or if Blendin got the time wish he was planning to use to undo the twin's birth.

Honestly the only thing he did wrong was target Dipper as well

>>89635028
Or if she got gnomebanged

Mabel

I get some stuff needed to be answered, but Robbie's cd? Come on guys. It's pretty obvious that some of that stuff wasn't meant to be explained, and was purposely left open for fans to speculate about it to the end of time, like with things in Twin Peaks or any other mystery show. They don't always serve you the answers on platter, mainly because the mystery is more interesting than the actual answer.

They're twin, she wants to be happy and continue being a great duo and do stupid shit for the fun of it. She can't handle Dipper being away because she's been with him all her life and it's wouldn't be the same without him around

Same thing with Stan breaking Ford's shit in order to keep him close even if that backfired like shit. Stan and Mabel can't handle change compared to Dipper and Ford

Stan wanted to keep Ford close because he'd been coasting off of Ford's genius all his life and didn't think he could survive in the world on his own.

Mabel was just afraid of everything changing and wanted summer to last forever.

I think it's that Bill has a chance of reincarnation but if he comes back he won't be 'Bill' anymore.

>>89633836
It's more that the world does have supernatural things but Gravity Falls supernatural deal is that it lures other supernatural things towards it.

How book smart is Dipper?

>>89645717
Pretty smart

>>89634469
Wasn't Dipper also in close proximity to Robbie when he sang the song? If so, shouldn't he also have been affected?

With episodes like The Inconveniencing, Summerween, Into the Bunker, and Northwest Mansion Mystery, I really hoped the finale would be scarier than what we got.

I think that was the intention

>>89646748
Because Robbie didn't have his attention. Wendy was mentally open and focused on listening to him sing.

If Robbie had caught Dipper snooping around with his CD trying to unravel it, he probably would have put him under the same induction to stop him.

>>89606717

Alex was wrong.

It seems the fandom's been slowly dying since the show ended about a year ago.

>>89655854
Can't be a fan of something that doesn't exist anymore.

>>89655983
There are shows that have been over for a while still getting fanfics.

Most GF fanfics since about last April have just been Bildip set in AUs with such little relevance to GF that you wonder why they even bother.

>>89655983
Doesn't Alex want to make a comic now?

>>89656717
I guess he realized that he'll probably never make something as successful or popular as GF again.

>>89654278
He's was incredibly naive. As if his parents were going to allow him stay there, and involving yourself with such a dangerous job at such a young age is irresponsible and selfish.

>>89656763
What Mabel did immediately afterward was much more irresponsible and much more selfish.

>>89634188
>why it's a bad thing
because mable is a special little snowflake that must be catered to

>>89656750
I'm sure he's forgotten all about that show on fox he wants to make.

>>89656847
I just realized, since she never learned her lesson or apologized or felt guilty for causing the apocalypse, she might very well end up causing another one.

>>89656763
That wasn't naive at all. Imagine if Mr. and Mrs. Pines received a letter from some prestigious academy in the UK offering Dipper an education abroad with a full scholarship. Same situation.

I doubt Ford would have outright told Dipper's parents that he was a paranormalist. He would have fallen back on his other five PhDs and made up a cover story.

And it's not like Dipper would disappear off the face of the Earth for them. He'd be living with his true Grunkle Stanford (as far as his parents know) and only a phone call/webcam call/visit away.

>>89657266
Also, given that they're parents sent the twins to live with a relative they barely know for three months and never once called, wrote, or visited that time, and that they're only mentioned offhandedly once or twice by Dipper and Mabel, they don't exactly seem overprotective.

Mabel is always in the wrong, but never gets punished for it.

>>89657335
That's it, that's the whole show.

Naivete isn't inherently destructive, and it's that same naivete that fueled his search for the supernatural. So he didn't factor his parents' permission into his idea. It was still mostly just an idea that he was behind.

Mabel's the one whose selfishness caused the apocalypse. Even the show admits that Dipper sacrifices every time for Mabel and she never does the same, and the ending treats that as though it's the natural order. Fuck what Dipper might want to do, Mabel's sad because of it.
