Ok, I FINALLY watched Gravity Falls and I loved it. And now I'm sad because it's over and confirmed to be done for good. Now I want to diacuss anything and everything about the show. I know I am very late, but bear with me.

Season 2 had a year hiatus, a 2 month hiatus, a 4 month hiatus, and then a 3 month hiatus for the finale. Everything else was because it was weekly.

Is Mabel the absolute worst?
Answer, yes. Yes she is
>>
>>95241234
Interested to hear why you have that opinion
>>
>>95241087
If you're curious, OP, I posted my detailed thoughts upon first watching the show here: http://desuarchive.org/co/thread/93312247/
>>
>>95241359
Because Mabel is totally selfish and uncompromising. Mabel is always forcing Dipper to do what she wants to do and if Dipper resists, she wines and sulks until she gets her way.

I mean look at the big finale. Dipper tried explaining to her the magic snowglobe was super important, but Mabel just ignored him and call him boring. If just listened for a minute, she wouldn't have destroyed the world.
She never even gets her commeupance about that. She even gets exactly what she wants at the end. Dipper doesn't go adventuring with Ford and he goes back home with Mabel.

She always gets what she wants, always causes problems, and never gets any sort of karma for being so selfish
>>
>>95241234
Correct
>>
>>95241128
It ended. It's all that matters.
>>
>>95241510
To be fair, she's 12, but they don't seem to really use that as an excuse. They just sort of ignore what she did. Maybe they'd have gotten to it if the series went longer.
>>
>>95241359
She beat up a unicorn for telling her that she wasn't pure and perfect.
>>
>>95241170
But Dipper never wanted to actually voice his crush until Mabel forced him into a life-or-death situation.

Especially with Gravity Falls' puberty. You go from 3 feet tall and 4 fingers on each hand to 5 feet tall and 5 fingers, pretty much overnight. How can you expect a kid to compete?
>>
>>95242235
The one about ladders and guns
>>
>>95242647
Even in RL. Girls have a head start on puberty. They even tend to be taller at the age of 12. A 15yo tall girl like Wendy (compaired to girls her age (Tambry)) can easily be much taller than boylets like Dipper.
>>
>>95242354
>>95242291
Both is bs. A reference doesn't make multiverse.

I just found the scene to be memorable and funny you stupid faggot when he saw how it was from wendy's perspective on dipper crushing on her
>>
>>95243122
TLG's only real issue was the ending fucking up the moral. And RA wasn't as bad as /co/ says, mainly just the writing not being clear enough.
>>
>>95243265
>Aw, man, I never noticed how bright this place is, ugh! Have I actually been listening to the same song for an entire week?

>>
>>95241087
Good for you. Now if they could just give us a full dvd box set we'd all be happy.
>>
>>95243322

RA was just out of place. Most of the audience was just disappointed because they got a season 1 ep (except for a brief mention of trying to get over Wendy) shoved into a point where the story was ramping up and they were expecting something big like what happened in the episode after. Ford basically doesn't exist. The last episode mentions how they can't leave the protective barrier over the Shack then they go on a fucking road trip without even a throwaway line about the incoming Apocalypse. Taken on its own though its fine. Of course /co/ was triggered and offended because they saw it as an anti-PUA ep so had no real complaints at all.
>>
>>95243456
It was fucking obvious, man, the entire bubble was a tailor-made trap that hypnotized EVERYONE inside it. The only person who just barely managed to resist was Dipper.
>>
>>95242757
But it's the extra finger that really does it.
>>
>>95243481
I've always thought those two episodes were just switched around by accident.
>>
>>95243488
So what was the point of actually giving them things they want instead of just hypnotizing them to make them think they had the things they wanted?
>>
>>95243535
Because that's how it works? Are you retarded or something?
>>
>>95243518
It's not accident as much as it is the season being rushed.
>>
>>95243556
It sounds like the whole episode was poorly thought out
>>
>>95243565
No, I mean it would make perfect sense if you just switched those two episodes around, no need to move RA all the way back to season 2a.

(Which wouldn't make sense given that it has the 2b intro anyways.)

It's up in the air whether or not Mabel's bubble had a mind-altering effect on her, but did Robbie's CD actually have mind control powers?

On one hand, Wendy's reaction immediately after the song seemed like hypnosis, but Dipper was also nearby and he wasn't hypnotized.

>>95242215

This Dipper is too autistic to be believable.

>>95243760
Ironic coming from a retard that cant differentiate a character under hypnosis with someone conciously choosing to stay in an environment that magically grants them their greatest desire.

It wasnt hypnosis,you blithering autist they were all just willing to abandon reason to indulge in their fantasy,except diper because hes not an idiot.

>>95244061
How so? Do you have any actual reasons or just buzzwords?
>>
>>95243958
>did Robbie's CD actually have mind control powers?
It had backwards messages, which in-universe might work, except it didn't work on everyone who listened.
>>
>>95244094
You're the blithering idiot because you continue to ignore the obvious: >>95243355
>>
>>95243958
Its not 'up on the air' there was zero mind control involved with Mabels bubble.

Its like you people are too autistic to understand the point of the entire thing. They were highlighting her refusal to accept change and sacrifice which why she made a replacement Dipper that showered her in praise and catered to her every whim.
Shit.
>>
>>95244247
>there was zero mind control involved with Mabels bubble.
I don't think it was hypnosis, but it could easily have an effect that makes her more likely to stay.
>>
>>95244234
How the fuck does that imply hypnosis???
Mabel was completely aware of everything going on, which is why she refused Dippers rescue attmept, and had to be fucking bargained with so she would change her mind.She chose to just ignore reality outside the bubble because things didn't go her way.
>>
>>95244247
You're a fucking retard. Other than Mabel's quote already posted ITT, there's also the fact that everyone ran off immediately upon being presented with temptations, not to mention this little quote:
>It would take a will of titanium not to give into its temptation.
>>
>>95244271
Yes, the fact it catered to her every whim and granted every wish during a time where she wasn't getting everything she wanted had nothing to do with it...
>>
I think we can all agree that Escape from Reality was a shit episode
>>
>>95244313
>How the fuck does that imply hypnosis???
Um, directly? It literally SAYS THAT.
>Mabel was completely aware of everything going on, which is why she refused Dipper's rescue attempt, and had to be fucking bargained with so she would change her mind. She chose to just ignore reality outside the bubble because things didn't go her way.

>>95244355
No, we can't. It was a GREAT episode.
>>
>>95244371
So instead of an episode about Mabel having to learn a lesson and give up what she wants for the good of the world, it's just an episode where Mabel is hypnotized and does nothing wrong
>>
>>95243488
It wasn't clear since most people who watched didn't think anyone was hypnotized just distracted. I still think the most genuine drop the ball thing was Escape from Reality. It could have been a really moving end to Dipper and Mabel's arc, but instead it rang hollow and did make Mabel seem unlikable. In the end it seemed like just a wierd sidenote and the plot didn't even make sense (there's no convincing reason for Bill even trapping Mabel in the bubble aside from circular reasoning with Gideon or lots of fan justifaction). Still it's hardly an unpardonable sin just a letdown especially since Mabel and Dipper did nothing of relevance after EfR so that was their resolution.
>>
>>95244321
Soos and Wendy were also tempted and gave in immediately. Dipper almost gave in as well but he was smart enough to rememeber where he was

>>

>Um, directly? It literally SAYS THAT
Actually it doesn't. At all. The word hypnotisus isn't even in the phrase you idiot. It just says that Mabel had lost perspective on what the real world was like after having spent so much time in the bubble. Hell, if anything, it actual works AGAINST your argument by showing that her previous actions were caused by a lack of perspective.
>>
>>95244418
>No, it's an episode where Dipper's will is stronger than everyone else's, including hers.

So that's the moral of the episode?
>>
>>95244399
There is no hypnosis, this poster is just aggressively autistic and cant handle fans criticizing Mabel.

>>95244444

>>95244378

>>95243715
Hah, tumblr had a crazy morality crusade against pretty much all the GF ships. The only one they were maybe okay with was Pacifica/Mabel and even that one was maybe pedo (since Pacifica and Mabel are kids) and abusive (because ????).

Who said it was retarded? Go out into the Apocalypse to maybe die fighting a demon or survive and face a s hanging world, or hide in Eden and let reality go fuck itself. It was selfish and evil, but actually not all that retarded.

Nigga what the fuck makes you think they were severely affected. What she experienced was the equivalent of stepping inside on a really sunny day and have to wait for your eyes to adjust.

Mabel should have needed to free herself and the others from the bubble. Having anyone else do it was utter shit. The bubble should have been convincing and Mabel should have had to consciously give it up and had to accept that she would eventually need to grow up. Intead they trotted out some stupid Reality vs. Fantasy crap that made no sense because Mabel liked reality, her friends and life, she just didn't want it to ever change. If anything Dipper was the one who wanted to escape into supernatural shit. The set up made no sense.

Also they just resolved it with "well we'll always be together!" But that's not true. Someday all siblings grow at least a little bit apart and things change. They could have emphasized that they would always stay friends unlike Stan and Ford. But they should have had Mabel accept some unpleasant realities and sacrifice so she could grow as a character. They gave up a perfect opportunity to do it.

>>
>>95244505
I think Pacifica is supposedly the abuser there.
>>
>>95244530
That's why the episode was bad. Mabel didn't learn anything and she should have. The writers just did a bad job with her character there. Remember back in Sock Opera where she realized on her own that she was being selfish and then had to save the day herself? This was just a big step backwards for her.
>>
>>95245378
But she's literally perfect!

Pacifica is mean to Dipper and Mabel and that's domestic abuse.
>>
>>95246227
Mabel deserves it. You know what she's done.
>>
>>95245279
It's a song; it targeted everyone who was within hearing range. For all we know, Mabel might have been in earshot and ended up having a romantic dream about Robbie that night.

She can't hold onto him forever, he'll meet a girl eventually.

I always see all the Mabel hate in these threads as insanely over the top.

Either a lot of pent up anger at their sisters or guys who self insert too much as Dipper and hate absolutely anything that gets in his way is my guess.
>>
>>95249025
>none of it meant a god damn thing

What do you mean by that?
>>
>>95249282
I don't have a sister and I don't care for Dipper. I still hate her
>>
>>95249300
I don't think she learned anything from it.
She knew that trying to do anything about it happening could just make everything worse, and she did it anyway.
>>
>>95249282
There's also a segment of people who see all the Mabel stuff as the embodiment of the rush-job done on season 2.
>>
>>95249332
She never bothered me so I can't really fathom how intense people get about that shit.

Ford was the one who caused the apocalypse by making a deal with a demon in the first place and though Mabel knew the snowglobe was important it was Ford's extreme secrecy and paranoia that kept her from knowing what exactly it was.

She was already aware of Bill's existence and didn't trust him, so telling her that the snowglobe would set him free right at the start, like Dipper wanted to, would have prevented the whole damn thing.
>>
>>95249469

Ford was an incredible dumbass the entire time

>be adult
>warned not to summon evil ancient demon
>summon it anyway
>trust it
>hide its existence from everyone
>help it build mystery reality breaking portal
>learn the portal is fucked up and evil
>don't destroy it though just take it apart and leave instructions to reassemble it intact
>don't ask for anyone's help except your homeless drifter brother who's in no state to help
>don't even destroy your journals with info that could doom the universe
>put rift in fucking highly breakable snowglobe
>don't tell the other people living and working in your house to be careful of the fucking highly breakable snowglobe

I don't hate him but jesus christ. Also Mabel and Dipper are kids so their retardation with Bill is one thing. Ford was and is a fucking adult. What's his excuse?

My man!
>>
>>95242131
I'd agree with the "she's 12" excuse if she wasn't right beside Dipper who is also twelve and owns up to his mistakes, grows as a person, and doesn't expect the world of Mabel at the drop of a hat. The "twelve" reasoning falls apart when he's the immediate example of how good a character can be despite still being young.
>>
>>95249806
Dipper is a boy genius hero archetype while Mabel is closer to an actual kid in terms of her character.

Then why make them twins? Why make them dual protagonists when they clearly aren't equals? If you are willing to waive away depth and character for the reasoning she fulfills a specific stereotype, why even bother including her?
>>
>>95249891
Dipper was written as a protagonist in a coming-of-age story while Mabel was written as a side character until someone remembered near the end that she was supposed to be a co-protagonist.

The fanservice for gay chubby chasers was top tier as fuck and it's sad that they'll never be catered to again to this degree
>>
>>95249983
>Then why make them twins?

Honestly they fucked up with Mabel. They should have made her a wacky genius in a different way and invested in the mysteries too, just in a different way. Like maybe she was obsessed with the magical creatures and shit instead of the "who's the author?" mystery. That would have fit her character and still been a contrast.

However for pretty much everywhere but /co/ Mabel was by far the most popular character on the show so sadly they saw no need to change her in any way. Why fix what's working.
>>
>>95249212
Sorry Candy, you already dumped him. In fact, Pacifica is the only girl left for Dipper.
>>
>>95249983
>Why make them dual protagonists when they clearly aren't equals?
Isn't that part of the point? They're not identical twins you know.
>>
>>95250299
>Why fix what's working?
But she was so uninvested in the overall adventure. All she cared about was pre-teen stuff when there was a magical fairy realm just a stone throw away. By the time she cared about finding a unicorn, it felt generic and forced.
>>
>>95241087
People seem to forget D24 announced we'll be getting GF graphic novels and they may be post-show.
>>
>>95250451
But from a literary standpoint it's bizarre they have such lopsided character dynamic.
>>
>>95250451
I think he meant storywise. They didn't carry onus for driving the story equally, but Mabel was treated as an equal. Stan's choices had more weight on the plot than hers did.
>>
>>95250556
I'm keeping my hopes low but i really want them to adress Mabel's actions and fix her development. I like her but she wasn't well written in season 2b
>>
>>95249571
Everytime he actually trusts someone they turn on him.

>Stan, McGucket, Bill.

Then he went on a decades long adventure that did nothing to help his growing paranoia.
>>
>>95241087
1) wendy is eying dipper in this picture

2) gravity falls crashed after 2a.

that is all
>>
What was the deal Bill Cipher made with Blendin Blandin?
Isn't that the only way he can possess people, or did the small rift make him stronger?
>>
>>95252352
>2) gravity falls crashed after 2a.
Oh fuck off already.
>>
>>95252492
It's a plot hole. Like Why the Fuck he put Mabel in her own little paradise land. Or what the point was of bringing Timebaby into this just to have him job immediately. All of these could have been easily avoided and not wasted time if Mabel had actually made a deal with Bill but nooo "we can't have Mabel do something bad that can't be rationalized as good".
>>
>>95252492
Forget it, I wikia'd
Time Baby was bullying him for losing to children, so Bill offered to make him stop. Lame.
>>
>>95252558
But he's right.
>>
>>95252585
Was that something mentioned in "Damage Control: the journal"?
>>
>>95252612
Yup.
>>
>>95241170
Fucking loved this moment, DipperxWendy fags blown the fuck out!
It's just your fucking fetish, not a legitimate avenue the story could go, thank god the writers called you fags out.
>>
>>95252566
>Mabel had actually made a deal


>gives Bill an actual reason to put Mabel into a bubble instead of just killing her
>wouldn't have been out of character, considering Mabel's lack of foresight and intelligence
>makes it far harder to excuse Mabel for everything
>wouldn't have brought Blendin in out of nowhere just to discard him immediately'
>would've added a cool thematic thing where every Pines member shakes hands with Bill at some point in the show

Holy shit, Mabel knowingly making a deal would've been so much better
>>
>>95252612
What was damage control about it?
>>
>>95252585
You know it would've been kinda neat had the deal been to break out of that inescapable time prison he broke out of
>>
>>95252756
That's too smart.

>Lol Mabel actually did apologize for causing the apocalypse, she just did so in Note form, offscreen
>Lol I totally support Padippica, I don't think of her as just a one note character I made for the sole purpose of making Mabel look better projecting my gripes with the upper crust onto
>>
>>95254070
What was the note?
Also, is there a pdf link anywhere? I'm not going to pay $20 for that shit.
>>
>>95254277
close it was actually sock opera mabel said she felt sorry for because bill wrote her an edgy note about how he was gonna jump off the watertower killing dipper and trapping his soul in the mindscape forever or something she didn't say anything about the apocalypse i don't think. i could be wrong.
>>
>>95254070
Nah, she still never apologized for the apocalypse
>>
Not gonna jump on either of the forming bandwagons here (Mabel = Hitler and shipping). I want to talk about the ending. My parents are divorced and I only see my mother on vacations, and when we leave her the goodbyes are allways like the ending of Gravity falls, with everyone gathered and a sort of peacefull sadness. I have to admit that I teared up at the end because firstly it was a fantastic show that ended and secondly because it hit very close to home
>>
>>95256404
Most of my family goes months/years without seeing each other, and when we finally do, we barely say hello. It's usually just an awkward "so, you're here, huh?" and then we go about our business. More apathetic than peaceful.

On the topic of the ending, I think Dipper looks fucking stupid in that hat. I bet it smells, too. She probably sweat like a motherfucker in that thing, wearing it all summer.
>>
>>95256404
I thought the ending was cheap, but that's only because of how Stan only lost his memories for all of 45 seconds. The rest of the goodbyes were fine.

>>95256875
>She probably sweat like a motherfucker in that thing, wearing it all summer.
Like Dipper cares.
>>
>>
>>95244378
This pisses me off so much. There are so many things you can legit shit on Mabel for, but this is really a terrible thing to try to blame on her. Pick and choose your battles people, because this is one of the very few innocent mistakes she made.
>>
Pacifica is best girl.
>>
>>95250556
No one forgot, they don't care.
Everyone knows just how bad Alex is at writing, that and actually doing anything.
>>
>>95242795
Read the journals. It's pretty clear it's the same multiverse.
>>
>>95252658
>>95253693
Why can't Dipper have both?
>>
>>95259581
Because Pacifica is literal worst girl and /ss/ is only viable when you've got your dick out.

The only girl for Dipper is his s_hand.

The resolution to the short's conflict was very odd. I think he just got distracted by the TV.
