Why did Pacifica get such a raw deal in the finale?
>>
Why do people still complain about how Pacifica was handled when she got the best development from the side-characters overall, and even better overall development than some of the main characters

Pacificafags are fucking lucky
>>
>>92479551

What more did you want? Her parents were appropriately humbled and she sent the twins off as good friends. Short of proclaiming her undying love to Dipper or some shit, I don't know what else you could have expected for her.
>>
>>92479551
Because Hirsch has both a poon work ethic and no trust in his subordinates, which is a guaranteed formula for shit never getting done.
>>
>>92479724
because it gained a lot of momentum before the big hiatus and then the brakes were just pumped so hard, it might as well have not happened and the most that came out of it was her just saying "daddy, stop selling out to satan"
>>
Jews hate rich blonde white people with historical legacies.
>>
>>92479724
Because she had the potential to be main character, but the creators just threw the idea out the window. The material was all there.
>>
>>92479551
Seriously, it was more about punish the years of Northwests' selfishness and cuntness than give PacĂ­fica the short stick.
>>
>>92480099
>Because she had the potential to be main character
You can say that about all the Cipher Wheel characters that weren't Pines family.

But the only character who actually deserved a bigger part in the main cast was Wendy because she worked at the Mystery Shack, yet she hardly got any good development.
>>
>>92480239
Hirsch is not a good showrunner, what else is new?

I'd pick Pacifica over her any time of the day. They could have used the old cliche of a bad guy (or gal) changing their ways and joining the protagonist's team.

They are both more likeable than Mabel at least.

It's not like they have a choice. If actor is not available, they can't work.
>>
>>92481310
They just sorta had her fuck off until the finale after her development episode. Sort of like McGucket, come to think of it
>>

Oops, meant after NMM.
>>
>>92481428
>>92481358
we had to retread the Dipper's impossible crush on Wendy after that got mostly resolved in the bunker episode
>>
>>92479551
Because her parents riches were ill gotten and villains get punished in kids shows.
>>
I did find it kinda weird how her last appearance was a joke at her expense, which not even Gideon got
>>
Because the show as planned ended after Ford came back.

Northwest Manor Mystery was the episode just before that.

After that, every episode was written with the intention of ending the show after season 2 rather than 3. Anything that wasn't already in place got jettisoned, and any characters who were mid-development got reverted so as not to overcomplicate things.

I can say that about most of the second half of season two, something just felt off and incomplete. Ford and Mabel lost their potential due to the lack of time. Candy and Grenda got way too much screen time and every felt too safe.

Which is disappointing considering Season 1 and the first half of Season 2 were fucking fantastic.
>>
>>92481888
>every felt too safe.

How so?
>>
>>92479551
Because she wasn't supposed to be a relatable character at first, but the internet changed that

That's what Alex himself said
>>
>>92481941
I believe he said something along the lines of

>The reason Pacifica's so terrible is to contrast how delightful Mabel is

Funny how things change, huh?
>>
>>92481918
Well the ending felt too safe, I would rather have Stan recover his memories over the year and by the time the twins come back to Gravity Falls, he remembers them instead of now.

It a show can could really use more development for the characters, Mabel and Ford especially, it felt rushed and should a benefitted from one more season.

At least Pacifica had a focus episode which made her a conflicted and interesting character.

Wendy had none.

Mabel is a character that wastes our time by going off-topic. Half of the plots is her doing dumb shit outside Gravity Falls core premise.

Can you imagine Scooby Doo, but every other episode has Daphne fucking off shopping and picking up guys with no connection to plot? That'd be dumb.
>>

Well Mystery Inc had romance subplots that were also shitty. And Daphne did fuck off to go shopping and date someone, but they just replaced her with Hot Dog Water.

If the wheel had meant more, each character that represented a symbol would have gotten a spotlight episode, and each episode would have emphasized them developing a connection with the Pines.

Anyone else think the wheel would have been better if this was plan A and the gun Ford used was plan B?
Six of the ten are in the mystery shack (dipper, mabel, stan, ford, soos, wendy), three of them are in town (mcgucket, pacifica, robbie) which could lead to pacifica spending time with dipper and mabel and ford and mcgucket would burry the hatchet between them. The only one that would be hard to get to would be gideon since he's in jail.

"Entertainment for free" is a pretty tired defense. Setting aside the cost of cable and channel subscriptions (let's be honest: most of /co/ wasn't paying for any of that), dedicated fans are a valuable asset in themselves: ratings, commercials, merch sales, and free advertising via fanworks and word of mouth. Nowadays, a show's viewership is a product almost as much as the show itself is.

Pacifica and her family were originally just meant to be shallow Drumpf parodies. A wealth business man with a plastic trophy wife and a snobby blonde entrepreneur daughter. Blumpf wasn't actually a threat to Hilldawg's ordained Presidency back then, he was just trolling liberals minutely with the Obama birther thing. When Alex heard fans wanted to see more of Pacifica, he was surprised, but obliged by giving her a likable side and shifting most of the blame for her spoiled behavior to her parents.

By season 2B however, Krunkf was gaining traction in his Presidency bid, and Alex was in full panic mode. John Oliver, Colbert, Liebowitz and the other """Comedian""" friends Alex had were tonguing his anus at that point to make an example out of Glorpf, so Alex put Pacifica and her family on the sacrificial alter and had them suffer a worse ending than homicidal Gideon, Pacifica had to take one for the team in the end.

What's funny is that the Northwests didn't even do anything wrong up until the finale. They were strict with their upbringing to their daughter. Oh boo hoo. Maybe that's why she isn't running around like a little shit fucking up stores and causing apocalypses like Mabel?

What was the cause of conflict in NWMM? The Northwests didn't want dirty townsfolk at their party. What happened when Pacifica let them all in? They trashed the place and acted like savages.

Preston offered his services to Bill... for some reason... I don't know it felt like more to be some sort of unfunny shot at capitalism that only a communist like Hirsch would make. Then even though he immediately got his face arranged and was turned into stone after offering, he was still somehow able to invest in bonds for Bill or whatever retarded "I have no actual understanding of economics" joke Alex made that caused him to lose his fortune.

God the finale sucked so much shit. Fuck Alex and his politics.

she's delicious alpha bitch with the added twist of redeemed and wasted character development we can fawn over
kind of like Trixie Tang in the episode Timmy goes magic drag

>>92499411
Meanwhile Gideon was the main villain of the first season, and most of the fandom seems to just sort of pretend he doesn't exist

Speaking of Trixie, what kinds of alpha bitches are the best, blonde, redhead, or Asian?

>>92497943
One I've seen a few times is one where Mabel tries to sacrifice herself for her brother during that "Eenie-meenie-miney" scene, admitting to causing Weirdmageddon in the process.
>>
>>92499470
Because while his character is decent for a villain his design was unappealing and his voice was kind of grating.
>>
>>92499537

plus he was already human, so you can't humanize him into anything sexy

>>92499537
I'm just gonna go ahead and guess that he's one of those characters who would be far more popular if he was a cute girl

>>92497943

Change the ending of Escape from Reality.

Dipper's escapist fantasy was going on awesome adventures instead of dealing with real life. Mabel's was a world where she never had to let go of her brother, her pet, and her summer friends. Dipper rejected his fantasy unambiguously, but Mabel's biggest hangup--separating from her twin--went mostly unresolved. She offered to let Dipper stay in Gravity Falls, but only after he changed his mind.

I don't think Mabel was too selfish for most of the series, but she'd have grown as a character by accepting she couldn't be her sibling's number one priority forever. That's an important part of growing up, especially for teenagers.

So, rather than the trial ending with Dipper promising to come home with her, Mabel chooses to intervene on Dipper's behalf. Maybe she realizes he risked his life and rejected fake Wendy for her, or she just has some flashbacks of her own in response to Dipper's speech. Either way, she makes her own sacrifice (by choosing to break out of the bubble herself and telling him it's okay to stay with Ford) before Dipper tells her he's changed his mind.

>>92499519

That's a good one. It still bothers me she never said anything about it.
>>
>>92499573
I remember an R63 design for Gideon that was pretty cute, also remember one of the earliest AU ideas had Pacifica and Gideon swap roles, so yeah you likely have a point
>>
>>92499583
>She offered to let Dipper stay in Gravity Falls, but only after he changed his mind.

I honestly didn't really get the point of that part in the finale. Mabel says it after Dipper already repeatedly promised he'd always stay with her. not only that, but at the time Ford was captured and could be dead for all they know, and she kinda already got in his way of taking the apprenticeship quite a bit by destroying the goddamn world and what not. Either she was pulling some weird emotional manipulation, or she was truly so stupid that she seriously thought there was a chance Dipper would say "Sure thing! See you next summer!"

Bill showed up and nuked Gideon to hell popularity wise, not just with the fangirls, with everyone.

Actually no I'm kidding because if people liked Gideon they'd pay attention to him and ship him with Bill or something anyway. But he's kind of fat and ugly. Though I don't know if anyone doesn't like Gideon's character they just don't find him sexually appealing at all or cute enough to draw so he doesn't show up in art of fanfiction much.
>>
>>92499573
Well that's the lazy fix, but honestly he just needed better character or a nicer design.
>>
>>92499686
In terms of character, I was never too crazy about "creepy romantic stalker" type villains in general. There are very few ways for it to logically end, and even when written well they're usually just uncomfortable to watch.
>>
>>92499707
It might've been funny if, at the end of the series, Gideon told Mabel he was no longer interested in her, because he's trying to turn over a new leaf and people who cause the apocalypse aren't his style anymore
>>
>>92499573
>I'm just gonna go ahead and guess that he's one of those characters who would be far more popular if he was a cute girl
But you don't have to guess because you already know exactly what would have happened if a cute girl had his role and just how much more crazy-popular with the fandom the character would be

Because her story wasn't complete. She went from brat, to sort of understanding and then nothing. Just one more episode and then could have completed her arc. If anything her disappearing and then being so upset about no pony made it look like she regressed.

Plus she was part of Dipper getting over Wendy. They didn't have to end up together, but Dipper falling back into the same old and Pacifica irrelevancy went hand in hand.

It probably just depends on who you're following but honestly I just don't see anything about any of the characters most of the time especially compared to when the show was still on. Clusters of holdouts or people just getting around to watching the show will probably pop up from time to time focusing on this or that thing and people will also probably update their shitty fanfic with barely anything to do with the show for a few years but mostly it's just dead. Not too surprising since the show has been over for well over a year and didn't have that many episodes and only ran for two seasons to begin with.

This is classic deal with the devil type plot.

Devil comes to a person and offers them an evil deal. But they only accept the deal because of their vices. Virtuous person would not accept Devil's offer.

In this context Mabel had vice of entitlement and desire to control others. Instead of overcoming this vice and defeating the devil with her newfound virtue, she had her vice satiated.

Honestly I was fine with Mabel at first, but the show always punished Dipper for doing things that she got away with it.

The absolute worst was the puppet episode where Dipper gets possessed.

Because Pacifica in Weirdmageddon acted like Mystery of Northwest Mansion never happened. They wrote her more akin to how she was in the mini golf episode. We wanted her to have some more interactions with people like talking to Dipper, or even patching things up with Mable. Instead she just bitches the whole time about a sweater that Mable made her, says her parents didn't deserve being turned into stone, and almost refused to touch a hillbilly until her father Told Her To Do It. It went against any development that she had in being her own person and stepping away from her horrible family. Then she still gets knocked down to one pony like a peasant. Not to mention her father investing in weirdness bonds wouldn't make sense since he was the very first person Bill fucked up with his powers. They just wrote the whole segment in as another jab at the rich kid.

Honestly both Ford and Dipper were far more retarded in their deals with Bill. Ford had been warned Bill was bad news and not to summon him but made an idiotic deal anyway. Dipper knew Bill was Bill and evil but made a deal with him anyway.

I'd say outside of 4chan with its fucking stupid screechy Mabel hate meme whiners blames Ford more than Bill for the apocalypse and they're correct to do so. Ford had to do multiple retarded things over the course of decades to lead to this fuckup and he's a fucking adult not a kid. Dipper is dumber about the puppet deal. Even trusting Blendin is dumb since he tried to kill them but not nearly as dumb as those two other things. The only difference is the show brings up Ford and Dipper's stupidity and being at fault while Mabel's part is never even mentioned, which is frustrating and stupid. But I'd say Mabel getting tricked like most of the characters got tricked is a stupid reason to hate her.

More than anything Mabel just isn't explored or held accountable because the writers lost interest in her character.
>>
>>92509017

Sorry meant to say most places blame Ford more than Mabel for the apocalypse. Obviously, Bill is most at fault but he's the bad guy.
>>
>>92509017
To be honest, I would have Preffered had Mabel Actually made a deal with Bill instead of Being tricked. Dipper and Ford both Did so Out of their Hubris, a flaw. But Mabel gets it handwaved with, oh it was all a trick, she's not at fault, she Dindu Nuffin!" It's all part of the "Mabel Can Do Wrong" And "Mabel Can Never Suffer" themes that Hirsch has to force.

It doesn't matter who's to blame. It matters that the problem was solved not by finding virtue in Mabel, but in pandering to her vice.

Ford and Dipper made mistakes and suffered for them. Mabel made mistake and got to hold entire world hostage until she got her way.

Wendy was the only likable female on the show.
>but m-muh Pacifica
She was a bitch who followed the "rich white conservative people are evil, goys" mantra that Hirsch swore by. The plot of her parents being the ones that made her bad came out of nowhere, didn't excuse previous behavior, and ended up being scrapped in the finale anyway. Her fans are mostly insufferable shippers and her character added little of value to the series other than being one person who could've been able to call out Mabel for her bullshit until Alex put a stop to that.

Wendy's shortcoming was that she didn't get enough episodes and plot points like her rough home life and deceased mother weren't explored in full, only vaguely touched upon.

It was implied a few times they care more about social status than her a few times before NWMM. Like when they told her sternly to not lose in the golf episode.

The entire Weirdmageddon's failure can be traced to Hirsch's weird morality that appeared earlier in the Tale or Two Stans. That doing your own thing is wrong, and getting mad at your sibling for wanting to do separate thing and knowingly or unknowingly sabotaging them is not an act worthy of contrition.

That and she Paid for her Flaws.

>>92510793
I don't think so, it was implied that Ford only got into weirdness research as a way of distinguishing himself after he was relegated to a second-rate university. I think the message was that Ford would have had a better life had Stan not sabotaged him, and Stan did get karmic punishment for it in the shitty life he led before taking over the mystery shack.
>>
Because Alex had such a hard on for the older boring too-cool-older-teen waifu of his that he reset Pacifica's development. Next to NWHS, NWMN is honestly the best episode of the series. Mabel isn't a cunt, Pacifica has believable development and her interactions with Dipper are really well written.

Personally I don't care for Wendy because she was always the same static character, and that's just boring. The unattainable cool chick. Pacifica is Dipper and Mabel's age and she actually grows through out the show, just like the twins (Well, mostly Dipper I suppose) Her personality was a lot more interesting played against Dipper's than Wendy's was.

Wendy's a boring empty cast of "likable cool older girl" and little more. Your very pic has more development for her than what was done with that single line of dialogue in the entire show.

That is why she never got an episode focused on her.

>>92513995
They could've filled the shell with something.
>>
>>92514059
I'd fill her tight little shell with something that's for sure.

That honestly would've worked a lot better.

That way, Mabel would be more easily accountable for her actions, and Bill would actually have a reason to put her in a bubble instead of just killing her on the spot. Plus, that way you'd get a nice thematic thing of every member of the pines family shaking hands with Bill at some point during the series

This thread seems to be pretty much dead, so I think it would be best if we just let it die and wait for another GF thread, which will probably be like a day at most

Off-topic but I'm imagining Mirage from Incredibles doing this with the lava waterfall and that seems pretty classy.

Make Roadside Attraction about Mabel learning to give Dipper some space and letting him do things on his own, instead of shaming Dipper for something Mabel has done all series long. This would also help set up the sibling separation fear somewhat; here she would think of it as a one-time thing, but the beginning of Weirdmaggedon would make her think more long-term.
