As much as a cop-out it was to restore Stan's memories, I genuinely think it was a 100% necessary thing to happen for the finale to be satisfying. I mean, without it, the scene where Dipper and Mabel go on the bus and Stan says goodbye would've been waaaaay less emotionally resonant without the person who made the single biggest impact on their lives that summer present. And Stan finally getting to go on world-sailing adventures with his brother like he always dreamed of is such a perfect way to end his story in the show that if they wiped his memory, that plot point would've hit way less hard than if he was essentially some random guy who was only really Ford's brother by blood but who was a completely different person. Everyone critiques that he just gets his memory back, and while it does feel like a cop out, this is the one "shortcoming" of the series I will wholeheartedly defend because the entire ending of the show depends on the fact that Stan is present and himself. Originally there was going to be an entire episode after Weirdmaggedon 3 dedicated to Stan getting his memory back, but they could never crack it, and they also decided that pacing-wise it wouldn't really make sense since Weirdmaggedon 3 is so obviously a finale. If they could've added another 5 or 10 minutes to the episode to dedicate to getting Stan's memories back, or did it in a different way, it would've been better, but having it not happen is just not an option in my opinion. And while your take on grudges is an interesting way to take it, and I respect that opinion, I just can't agree. sorry if all my comments are getting annoying lol I just have a lot of things to say about Gravity Falls lol

Жыл бұрын

I can respect that perspective. I think it's a catch-22 though. If you undo the sacrifice, then the beautiful emotional moment of Stanley's death is ruined. If you keep the sacrifice, then the emotional farewell is ruined. Personally, I think the emotional farewell isn't as important as the sacrifice and moral about grudges, but of course to each their own. x)

@Maria-yy6et

Жыл бұрын

I agree with both of you in some ways. Movies and TV have taught me that a loss of memories do not equal a loss of emotion. Take Spider-Man no way home for example Peter decided to erase his friends memories to keep them safe, but in the end, as he is trying to re-introduce himself to MJ, you can see that although she doesn’t recognize him there is still an an emotional response to him. Doing something like this in the final episode would’ve been more impactful. Having Stan slowly regain his memories starting from the time he was a child. That still would’ve made it possible for him to give up control of the shack and travel with Ford around the world as Ford helps him regain all his memories and fulfills his childhood dreams. I also think, having Stan not completely remember the twins, but still have a powerful emotional bond with them would’ve made the ending just as beautiful because they would have known that eventually their grunkle would return to them leaving their future open ended and hopeful. Sorry if this is long or if it doesn’t make sense that’s just how I interpret it!!

This reply is a month late, and it’s a wall of text, but I feel like they could’ve given a compromise. Maybe make it so that Ford says something along the lines of “We could still save him while the memory erasure is fresh, although he won’t ever be the same for a long time. This process could potentially take years even!” And make it so that he only really remembers the core characters (Dipper, Mabel, Ford, and maybe Soos and Wendy). That way, it feels right with him at the farewell. In addition to that, if it takes years to reverse his sacrifice, then it could be a clever parallel between Ford trying to remind Stan of his past self and Stan trying to bring back Ford. Also, it could be fun for Stan to get a second chance in a lot of scenarios where he caused problems for people.

While I can absolutely understand all of your criticism on the d&d episode, I wanted to share how I saw it as well. Me and my family all love d&d, to the point where we would have weekly d&d sessions, with everyone from my cousins to my grandma playing, and we thought this episode was really funny. To us, it came across more as making jokes about how people who don't understand d&d think d&d is, rather than saying what it's actually like, and I definitely took what Durland said at the end as not being a serious statement, but more just for the absurdity of "Oh, this guy who usually says random funny one-liners goes on an entire monologue, just to then say he's a fortress." That's just how I saw it though, I can absolutely understand disliking it as well.

Compare this episode to the episode of Dexter's Laboratory in which his sister Dee-Dee takes over as GM for a session of D&D with him and his friends. Despite Dee-Dee's silliness and sweetness, she ends up running a much better campaign than her brother did-- But I think the difference is that the writers who did that episode of Dexter- and this is the important point- REALLY LOVED THE GAME. I think it shows. You can't properly spoof or satirize a story that you don't really love. (Another example; if you watch Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood" movie, all the bits that spoof the new Kevin Costner version are really quite flat, but those parts that poke fun of the Errol Flynn version are brilliant. It comes down to love for, and familiarity with, the subject.)

I think the weakest aspect of the show is that after revealing the author, barely anything is done with it, when a huge status quo change like that would be such a big opportunity to do some new stuff but it just… doesn’t

​@@MatheoZ14 It's actually BECAUSE of It's length that it's so unpopular. It is too long, such a long video comes across as intimidating to anyone who isn't a hardcore Gravity Falls fan. I put off this video for a while just because of what a huge time sink it seemed, and even now that I'm watching it I'm just nibbling at it in bite sized chunks. It's also outside of his target demographic, so that doesn't help.

Always felt that headhunters had little impact on first watch, yet actually shows a lot on rewatches. Stan having the "perfect twin" he never had rather than Ford with whom he often fought, and not to mention their separation (which must have left Stan scarred for years as he tries to get his brother back) is interesting to me. I'd say it makes complete sense how Stan would be so overreactive of his wax counterpart. The death of wax Stan must have triggered trauma for him, and, at least to me, his behaviour during this episode is pretty understandable if you keep stands relationship with ford in mind.

Thank you Jaru. Thank you for fueling my strange need for 3-hour ranking and explanation videos. Sincerely, thank you.

I think the issue with Mabel having a mentor figure is that it would make grunkle stan somewhat irrelevant and if anything stan and said figure would possibly end up in a relationship, which is another thing I think the show writers wanted to avoid.

Fair point. The issue is that Stan and Mabel are on opposite ends of the morality spectrum, and so stories where they'd come together over their shared talents just don't generate naturally.

Wendy was my third favorite character, yet I found myself agreeing with all your problems with the character. As it stands I suppose her character comes down to whether you found her cool or not. I'm thinking my biggest reason for liking her is that she has a similar color pallet to Frankie Foster from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, thus causing some primordial reaction in my late teen brain to make me instantly like her. Otherwise idk, I thought she was cool, I guess.

You saying NWHS wins "by a landslide" is just so true. Like I could talk for hours and hours about just that episode and everything surrounding and leading up to it because it is just. that. good. While Weirdmaggedon 3 was the finale of the overall plot, NWHS was the finale to the overall MYSTERY of the series, which was what I, the 10 year old who LOVED watching theory videos and code cracking videos and analysis videos etc. was SLIGHTLY more invested in. NWHS was such a cultural reset and a "you had to be there" moment because GOD it was just so satisfying. That climactic scene NEVER fails to make me tear up because it is just so powerful and well written. The fact that the name of the episode is the source of so many theories because the cipher wheel has a code that says "Stan is not what he seems" on it such a perfect name. You really TRULY get set up to believe Stan is actually evil but the fact that Alex's performance as Stan is so good you can understand WHY Mabel trusts Stan enough to let the countdown finish despite all logic is truly mind blowing. I'm going to stop this comment here because if I don't I'll have an entire essay in the comments but... god, I really think Stan is objectively the BEST character on Gravity Falls. He embodies everything great about Gravity Falls. He's not my personal favourite, that would be Bill, but... he's just so good.

Honestly with how plot relevant Northwest Family Manor is, they easily could’ve made it a two parter and involved Wendy in it When hearing about the legend, Dipper takes great note of the fact the ghost has the exact same last name as his friend Wendy, and so enlists her help to try and calm down the spirit since they’re family. Likely the attempt wouldn’t be successful, but it’d still give Wendy some room to grow and maybe even cause some tension between her and Pacifica, not because of Dipper, but because Wendy now learns that her ancestor died at the ignorant hands of a lineage of thieves that, while Pacifica is distancing herself from them, is still a part of

I like the concept of Dipper of getting angry at Mabel for *seemingly* wanting to selfishly hold him back, just as Ford accused of Stan, but I’m not sure the fatal flaw is coldness or lack of empathy so much as it is a desire for self-grandiosity and also the reoccurring trust issues. Dipper’s mistrust of Stan in NWHS is built up so strongly and then gets immediately resolved with a quick apology. We get an echo of it in Mabelcorn when Dipper thinks he can’t trust Ford and nearly attempts to erase him, and then Dipper seemingly never struggles with huge trust issues (between family) again. I feel like bringing that back a third time and making Dipper believe in the moment that he can’t trust Mabel would be an ever deeper parallel to Ford, and the fear and hurt would cause him to lash out or say/do something very rash. Maybe Mabel says something in their argument that is something similar Stanley says, and that caused Dipper to think that Stanley is manipulating Mabel into creating a rift between them (or maybe he comes to believe Bill has been talking to Mabel, or any other variety of situation). It would be sympathetic while still incredibly flawed, though just because Dipper is the intelligent one doesn’t mean he doesn’t have incredibly emotional moments too. I think it would be more natural to his character as Dipper’s struggles with suspicion and paranoia don’t ever really come to a conclusion. In Weirdmaggedon Part 2 this could be rechallenged in a situation where Mabel provides 0 reason for Dipper to trust her or no sign that he should believe in her to make the right choice, but in a moment of danger Dipper chooses to let go of his logic and blindly trust Mabel anyway.

These are some things I felt like saying. When it comes to -"tourist trapped"- "roadside attraction" I think it would've been better if, instead of focusing on love, it could focus on the relationship between Dipper, Mabel and her friends. They still go on a road trip but now Stan's sabotaging antics take place in the background and Zoos stays at the schack with Ford. This allows us to get more character depth for Grenda and Candy, while also showing a new character interraction between Ford and Zoos. Also if you're wondering how it would be between Zoos and Ford it would probably start with Ford being dissapointed that he's stuck with Zoos, but then coming to appreciate how genuienely dedicated and handy Zoos is... only to reveal at the end during the credits sequence with a shot of Zoos leaving the underground lab, Ford smiling as he leaves. Then when Zoos has left Ford's smile quickly dissapears as he checks the cupboard seeing "the rift" and seeing a crack. As the inside of the cupboard becomes pitch black (due to Ford closing the cupboard), only the rift and the crack are visible in the darkness. Showing that Ford still "trusts no one"... (seeing as he doesn't tell Zoos) Also kind of a small nitpick, but it feels weird that you gave "the bottomless pit" a plot of 1, just because of the cameo in "dreamscaperers", when so many other episodes have similar reccurences like (off the top of my head), "the land before swine", the dinosaur head comes back in the end and is the thing that pulls out Bill's eye, so without watching "the land before swine" you wouldn't know where that dinosaur just came from. 2:02:14 tbf its not like the unicorn only "just lied" to Mabel, let's go through what the unicorn did: - It lied to Mabel saying that it can see if someone is pure of heart, making Mabel think she's a horrible person and making her reconsider her life choices. - When the unicorn wakes up and reacts to Mabel holding the scissors its first reaction isn't to be scared, no its to tell her she's still a bad person, while Mabel knows she had nothing to do with this "stunt" the others pulled. - Then when its revealed the Unicorn lied the first thing the unicorn did was to gloat and tease Mabel, with the hair Mabel needs to "protect her familiy". So yeah I would be pretty pissed at the unicorn who is also (to put it midly), kind of a douche. Though i'm not saying its an appropriate reaction, just saying its an understandable reaction, with more depth than just "someone lying to her". Also I feel like the actual lesson Mabel learned was either "don't be too trusting" or "never meet your heroes" and not "morality is relative", where did that even come from? Also yeah Wendy and co. were bastardized. (writing before seeing the result of the poll) You're right that is a really fascinating concept, people losing free will, but humanity and by extension the World prospers. While the idea of getting world peace is great, the price of undermining humanity is something I don't like. Personally I prefer free will and feel everyone can figure it out in due to time. Though who knows, maybe we'll find out in the future that mind control is the only way to bring world peace. That still wouldn't change the fact that I personally prefer free will over world peace. Now that I have seen the result and heard what you said. While having all problems solved at the cost of "a little mind control" is nice and all to me it just feels "cheap" or like an "easy way out". This is probably due to the fact that I'm the type of person to "tough it out" no matter the cost, altough I have become a bit more lenient towards this mentality as too much has proven to be unnecessarily difficult.

Hello! My thoughts: -That's an interesting alternative version of Roadside Attraction! -I consider the plot gained from the Bottomless Pit existing to be more substantial than the dinosaurs existing, as the Bottomless Pit is the only thing that could specifically accomplish the goal set out in Dreamscaperers, while the T-Rex head was really just a decently cool, if optional, addition. I ultimately concluded that something minutely contributing to the Shacktron wasn't enough to qualify as "Plot" as that thing is just an amalgamation of references. I don't consider the dinosaurs to be any more significant than Rumble or the Gobblewonker or Larry King or the Multi-Bear. -I don't think the Unicorn lying, but also being mean about it, changes my point at all. It's still a gross overreaction. It would be like Mabel assaulting everyone who has ever said anything even vaguely mean to her. It's mad, and it contradicts her behavior in previous episodes, especially her interactions with Pacifica. -I can't tell if you're arguing with me and saying that the lesson wasn't "Morality is Relative," or if you're agreeing with me and saying that it makes no sense for her to call that the lesson she learned. -That's a valid perspective on the Free Will VS World Peace scenario!

@@JaruJaruJ thanks for the reply! My thoughts on your thoughts: - Thanks! (also just realized I accidentally wrote "Tourist Trapped" instead of "Roadside Attraction" ooops, I've now "fixed" it!) - I guess that makes sense, I just still feel like the pit is on the same scale as a neat reference to a past episode, that just so happened to serve more of purpose than most of the other memories sorrounding that part. - That's fair, I think I just got caught up in the semantics of your point feeling like it was just "because she lied", when there was a little more to it than that, altough perhaps not enough to warrant Mabel's reaction. - Apologies for the confusion, I agreed with you, while trying to spitball a better lesson than what the episode gave us (though I don't think there's any saving it). - Yeah that is a pretty steep price isn't it? definitely too high, but, and I know this sounds wrong, such is nature. This question of "do the means justify the ends?" sure is a goldmine for hot takes now isn't it? I think I'm gonna conclude with that statement before I say any other off the wall stuff.

You said that Wendy never had conflict with another core character but in Boss Mabel she has conflict with Mabel. This doesn’t have many lasting effects but it is a conflict from her flaws with a main character.

That's why I said her punk activities were a superficial flaw that don't actually lead to any sort of substantial character conflict. Emphasis on substantial. Wendy is a plot device in that story; acting as a generic teen obstacle for Mabel to overcome. It has no effect on Mabel and Wendy's relationship and is given no focus or depth. It's not comparable to any of the proper relationship stories. It's not even on the same level as the conflicts we see in Land Before Swine. Those conflicts actually reflected on the specific relationships of the characters and ultimately developed those relationships in small ways. I won't ramble further than that though. Thank you for the comment! That was a fair counterargument to make. x)

I'm surprised you didn't notice the often-cited purpose of Abaconings as a foreshadowing of Stanley and Stanford's relationship. I also personally reject the idea that LGSOH as a whole is noncanon - the stories themselves, certainly, sure, but much like The Bottomless Pit, I take the frame story as canon. (I think the writers have likely said otherwise? But I don't really trust that, lol, I think they're just trying to do damage control for Stan being an evil enough character to just kidnap/maybe murder a random traveler.)

I only recently-- this past year-- discovered Gravity Falls. While I was able to watch the first season online, I am awaiting the DVD set from Amazon so I can see the second series. I really appreciate what you are saying about Wendy, because from the bits I have seen thus far, I really like her character. But, from your video, and from most of the scrapped Wendy storylines I've read about online, I can see that there was so much opportunity that was simply squandered. She could have been such an awesome character, but as you describe it, it seems that the show writers had no real idea what to do with her. So many good stories could have come out of her character. In addition to all the suggestions you made, I might add that, since canonically, I believe her father, Manly Dan, was a widower, that her promiscuity, anxiety and fatigue, and borderline delinquency could have stemmed from that situation. Perhaps Dan was so devastated by the loss of his wife, that Wendy had to take up the role of "wife" for her father (I don't mean sexually, but in terms of emotional validation and in looking after the home and family), and a surrogate mother to her younger brothers. All of that responsibility on a kid who's barely fifteen? Sweet Mother of the Night, it would be amazing if she HADN'T any of those problems. Plus, mandatory "apocalypse training" with her dad, having to learn to be a lumberjill.... And maybe, just maybe, she might have rejected Dipper's romantic advances, not because she doesn't love him, but because she does. And for her, boyfriends are merely distractions and sources of physical pleasure. --Too many guys don't understand how precious the "friend one" can really be. Damn. Wendy was robbed.

I love seeing you analyse writing! I would also really recommend you to watch Infinity Train if you haven't already. Its pretty short (four seasons, 10 episodes each season, with all episodes being 10 minutes long) and is an anthology series so each season has a different set of characters and plot. Its the only animated series that I think comes close to Gravity Falls, though comparing them is unfair due to Infinity Train being so short

Summerween at 39 is absolutely insane

1. Its nice to see analysis from a story teller's perspective. 2. For morality I always saw Dipper as someone who chose head over heart and Mabel heart over head. So, when Dipper did something morally grey related to wendy, even if messed up, I saw it as a choice made an emotionally immature 12 year old, though the season 2 choices made by him felt more on the side of logic over heart, which makes sense as not being appealing to you, seeing as you choose heart over head. 3. Finally someone who gets dipper and Mabel's flaws correctly, along with their strengths and sees them as flawed characters yet doesn't hate them. 4. I do agree they wrote Mabel character poorly by the end. I always viewed mabel as a bizarre yet good person, balancing herless moral twin, so rewatching a few scenes did make it feel wrong, even at times making her fall in my eyes. Also I think the Mabel hate started before sock opera even came, so the rest of S2 might have been influenced by that. There's a lost legends comic too, theres a voice dub on KZread if you don't know about it. 5. Love god and the Stanchurian candidate both deal with mind control for the 'greater good'. 6. For your 'free will vs world peace' question, I think there should be a mix of both. Taking someone's free will might take away a core part of who they are, not allowing any growth and giving all free will is of course leading to a disaster. Just because I know how to live my life the best doesn't mean I get to choose someone else's but I could always nudge them in the right direction, if you catch my drift. There's actually an mlp comic revolving around it. Due to magic, discord (god of chaos) becomes the total opposite, accord. I recommend reading it. 7.I think love god could have been improved by giving Robbie and tambry a platonic relationship. Maybe have the friend group's mood being soured after encountering Robbie and tambry being mad at each other due to the love potion wearing off sooner than expected and having everyone reconcile like in canon but Robbie and tambry having a platonic relationship as their own choice.

I feel I offer a unique perspective on the whole Love God/free will debate. I don't love anyone in my life more than I love my grandma. She's the most caring person I know and essentially raised me. But when I recently came out as aromantic/asexual to her, she didn't really get it. She still wants me to someday find a man to fall in love with because she wants me to be happy. It's well meaning, but feels horrible for someone I trust so deeply to have such a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes me happy. Finding my aroace identity is the best thing to have happen to me. But if it were up to anyone else, my teenage angst and depression would be "cured" by me forcing myself into a romantic relationship. But I think true happiness comes from understanding what you really want, rather than settling for what others say will make you happy. It's funny timing how you posted this video with so much to say on this conflict as I'm having a conflict of my own. But the way the episode portrays free will by forcing two characters into a romantic relationship will always strike a personal nerve, even if I know the free will debate goes far beyond love.

What a strange thing to say.

Hey man, great video! But I think there’s more to Gideon as a character than you might think. Imagine being born into a world where you’re immediately made into your father’s “cute little mascot”. You had no choice in the matter because you were a baby who couldn’t vocalize or consent at all to this exposure to massive fame. You are exposed to intoxicating amounts of love and fame and have NEVER been told no in your entire life. You have everything and so this makes you a selfish and bitter human, but you weren’t always that way. So when Mabel says no, that’s the first time he ever had anyone say that to him; and it infuriates him. That’s how I see Gideon. I mean you can see this in the Globnar episode where Gideon is literally a newborn child on a billboard used to advertise Bud’s business. It’s a similar dilemma to these family channels. Gideon knows nothing but fame and power, and so he only ever wants more of it. Of course I do NOT condone his actions. He is a villain after all. But he isn’t “evil for no reason”. I do wish the writers would have delved into this more, but perhaps it’s a bit too heavy of a subject. And in my opinion, I find it a little disingenuous that you try to compare Giffany, an AI Tsundere who is designed to have an obsessive and over exaggerated love for the player, to Gideon: an actual child who was born into a world that he could not have said no to. I do understand that Giffany was sentient and her backstory is tragic, but at the end of the day she was still programmed to be obsessive. We even see in Journal 3 she is abusive towards Rumble MkScirmish. I mean her whole character is based off the anime tsundere archetype. Comparing the idea of her dying to an actual child living being strange is off to me. But I get where you’re coming from. I hope you’ll appreciate this constructive criticism of your analysis :) again I wanna say great video! Even if I disagree with a lot of what you say it’s so interesting to see what you have to say, and I do agree a lot with your complaints of Wendy’s characterization

56:50 Ah yes, the time when gravity falls predicted DDLC and FNAF in the same episode.

Great video. I watched a few GF analysis lately, every video essayist or theorist having their perspective on the series. Yours was very entlighting in terms of crafting, narration... which was intended and also successful, in my opinion :) It broadened my perspective a lot, especially thanks to all your ideas to improve the episodes. Very interesting, nuanced and clearly expounded. Oh, and very well paced, good jokes, passionate outlook, etc! Really, I loved it and it certainly gave thoughts to ponder. I have a few things I'd like to talk about, if you're interested (these are notes taken throughout the video). This is less about GF and more about creating in general, but I'd like to quickly give my response to your point about Paper Jam Dipper and poorly fleshed out and developped female characters, not being the result of some malicious intent and thus, not ableist or sexist. I understand that you make a difference between intention and results; but at the end, what matters really is, in my opinion (!), how these problems even came out in the first place. I am under the impression that this "short sightness" you described is, precisely, a consequence of unaware sexism and ableism, which is typical in today's western societies. These sometimes very harmful stereotypes are tropes tell us something about (and shape) our collective representations - even though it's not intended to be harmful. (I have the feeling there is a similar pattern with some jokes which may come across as transphobic or racist, in some episodes.) Me too, don't think these jokes or tropes are willingly hurtful; but I think we can describe something as sexist, even if we suppose the creator didn't intended that way. Every media depends on its historical context and means of production; I don't think saying that the show has some sexist, etc, elments, is equivalent to state that the creator (multiple creators, more so: it makes it even more difficult to clearly define a single mind at the origin of every joke, and the show is the product of a group of people's vision) is sexist (etc) - or more precisely, more unwittingly sexist than expected in this given society in this period of time. And I feel it's first and foremost just a fact, how a society and collective representation work. I hope I did understand your point and pov, and made mine clear. I am not sure to agree on Gideon clashing with the tone of the show; he certainly sounds more dangerous than a lot of characters, and I too think his redemption arc is rushed; but there's a darkness and somehow horror in GF in which I think he fits quite well. Besides, he is the object of ridicule and still is silly; I am (really) not a huge fan of the evil-child trope, but it didn't felt out of place in GF, for me. But I'd have love a bit more human approach too, and he is not one of my favourite characters. I don't think having enough hindsight for now for a more nuanced analysis and opinion on him, so maybe I'll agree with you one day. Special shout out to the section on Northwest Mansion Mystery, your compelling study of Pacifica and your suggestion for Wendy's character development. Great things said there. Same about your analysis of Wendy. The writing-oriented criticism was really insightful, and I regret even more Wendy's shallowness compared to her potential. I... don't know what to think about Mabel at the end. Your analysis certainly made me think. I'll rewatch the episodes. Honestly, I kind of considered that the point of Mabel & Dipper relationship in s2 was to be an imperfect mirror of Stan & Ford's until now; the fact that Dipper being caught up in his world and Mabel being afraid of losing him and her childhood (and happiness) was already evoked a lot, made me think that precisely, before Weirdmageddon, Dipper was NOT like Ford, though they shared common traits. In the end, I interpreted this Dipper-Mabel conflict as their own: it is, to some extent, a mirror and generational trauma, but precisely, they go beyond to have their own conflict, becaude Stan and Mabel are, also (and even if meant to be parallels), very different. Their conflict is about time and childhood too, something both Mabel and Dipper approach with almost an opposite perspective. That's why when I watched the show, I didn't consider Mabel to be selfish, and even though the parallel with the Stan twins is obvious, I felt that the show wanted to underline how ultimately, Dipper and Mabel aren't there to help Ford and Stan to reconcile, but because they have their own conflict related to childhood - a major, major theme. Now, after watching your analysis, I really want to rethink that perspective. Thanks for that. Oh, and Mabel in the episode Not What He Seems : yes. Exactly. Last but not least, I can't help but disagree with you concerning the ranking, which is of course perfectly fine (and sensible, because you express neatly your reasoning), but for a reason that hasn't been clearly underlined throughtout the video. I was Dipper and Mabel's age (or barely older) when I first watched glimpses of GF. Glimpses is a key word here, because I haven't watched then the series as intended: I caught at the time some episodes as it aried on TV, only from S1, and always by chance. I remember vividly loving the show, but never being able to actually know it; it nurtured an aura of mystery, which was already forstered by what I think is a major element of GF: a sense of wonder. Today, watching the series, one of the thing that makes me love the show so much is how it opens the realm of imagination, constantly evokes or shows machines, monsters or strange things (the Shapeshifter! the Clay monsters! some very disturbing images, like Preston Northwest's face being disfigured by Bill, or Fake Wendy, etc), but also adventure and exploration in a lot of bizarre places. The world feels real and full of life beyond the characters' knowledge. The comedy, the plot and most of all, the relationships, enable the audience to feel such strong emotions; but the enthusiastic excitement of discovering things alongside the characters represents, in my experience of it, such a major dimension of the show in itself that it influences considerably my ranking. After watching GF, I want to go in the country side during the summer, write a journal, discover cryptids; hence the emotions of joy such a show can arouse in the audience. The perfect intradiegetic representation of this, is Dipper interrupting Ford's story with a delighted scream when Ford evokes the journals. I think this sense of wonder (probably the best expression I can think of right now, even though I don't know if it is exactly appropriate) is one of GF biggest quality in my opinion, especially because it is combined with comedy, plot and character development. That's why I don't mind the lack of humour in some episodes, especially plot-heavy ones, which feature plethoric incredible inventions or creatures (the last episode, for instance, which has emotional pay-off: Dipper and Mabel's exploration of the town enabled all the characters to unite and fight, etc). Once again, I perfectly understand that your perspective is different (and that mine is coloured by an emotional journey and personal experience), but I wonder to what extent would you give credit to that aspect of the show. By the way, this sense of wonder seems, to me, even more important considering the mysteries let by the creators in the episodes. I am talking about the codes to decypher (and the key words to successfully do it hidden in the episodes), the foreshadowing, the details which, on second watch, give to the show a slightly different tone (I am particulary talking about the Ford/author mystery and everything surrounding it)... When I watched the series, I decyphered the codes at the end of the episodes in S1 and checked on the wiki how to do it for S2, for example. I am totally aware that you can't use this dimension for comparative analysis of the episodes. Nevertheless, the very presence of such a game between the show and its audience underlines, in my opinion, the importance of mystery and pleasure in discoveries tightly linked to this aforementioned sense ofwonder. And one last thing: the Clay monsters are a perfect example of why I love the show on an aesthetic level too. A lot of shots are iconic, but the details, and sometimes interesting and creative choices of direction contribute a lot to my positive experience.

A comment regarding your thoughts on the Love God: I do agree with your idea of happiness being more important then free will for the most part. I think the issue I have with the episode is that romance ≠ happiness, and having the media constantly push the idea that you can only be happy if you're in a romantic relationship is something that I personally really dislike. I think it would've been better if Robbie learnt to be happy on his own for a while and to find happiness elsewhere other then through romantic partners. Not saying that he should remain single forever, just that learning to love yourself and to be happy on your own is a pretty important message to teach to kids. Even though learning to love yourself is WAY easier said then done, something about just putting him in a relationship and making it his 'happy ever after' just feels wrong to me. Gravity Falls definitely doesn't push this idea as hard as I've seen other media do it, but I can't help but be disappointed when a characters sadness is solved by just putting them into a romantic relationship and calling it a day

Interesting! I'm glad to hear your thoughts on this! That's a perspective I hadn't heard before. I do think that outcome is fine in this context, as Robbie's issue was that he couldn't get over Wendy, so magically forcing him to move on made sense for that story. That said, I totally agree with the notion that fiction does overemphasize the romance/friendships solve everything concept. I would love to see a story where a character starts off engaging with a lot of romance (maybe someone like Mabel), but then they grow and learn that you can be happy on your own, and not everyone is destined for such relationships.

Ok the whole thing about free will vs safety you brought up is literally the plot of the giver.

I feel like if Stan actually didn’t gain back his memories then it would’ve been so depressing. Even though it would have made a way bigger impact it would’ve been too depressing to see the greatest character in gravity falls die. It would’ve also overshadowed the dipper and Mabel growing up arc.

My thought about stanley in the finale is that he should have regained his memory but not like it is in the actual episode but insyead being shown that it would happen slowly and shown it taking years to slowly regain pieces if his memory instead of it showing him going on adventures. I agree with you in the love god episode, people really get mad about free will, though i disagree on mablecorn.

Personally i think keeping wendy's family situation a secret is one of the best decisions (not specifically that is was wendy's mind you) the core of gravity falls is the mystery, and how everyone peiced things together in different ways, of course since the show is over there isn't any room for that anymore, we know what theories turned out true and what didn't, But keeping a main character's family a secret, especially when it's important enough for one of the memebers to become a vengful spirit caple of changing people's matter on the fly, allows for there to still be theories and discussions to this day outside people speculating on what would happen if the series continued. To me at least it was pretty clear thay wendy does everything in her power to stay away from her family, her dad is clumbsy and destructive, her brother e courage unnecessary voilence, and her mom is greatly implied to be gone, and basically confirmed in the society of the blind eye when everyone is about to get their minds erased she mutters "i miss my mom so much" There's a really cool video called "the yellow ribbon theory" on wendy's mom Also stress doesnt necessarily mean anxious Of course the lack of info on her family combined with her lack of everything else is where the problem arrises. As for paper jam dipper i see where you're coming from, but with the part where they try to feed him and are unable to is due to him not fully leaving paper form not being incompetent, and for his death, if someone else said he was better of dead then what you said would defiently be true, but since paper jam dipper himself said it theres nothing wrong with it, "the sweet release of death" is something stan mentions too, i see nothing problematic with a character born into a miserable existance accepting or embracing their death. On your scale of good to bad on characters ford should actually the most evil; ford had absolutely no justification for abandoning their original dream, and chose to keep the instructions of destroying the universe in the world just because he worked hard on it, Even if we go the legality route according to the offical physical journals and one of the comics (both of which i believe are stated to be canon) ford is said to have commited infinitely more crimes in thosands of dimensions than the amount of crimes stanley has commited on earth As for "morality is relative" it's true with context, they are trying to create a barrier that is completely immune to the weirdmageddon, creating a place where everyone could be safe as long as there was enough room, even if the unicorn was a completely innocent person its a small price to pay for safety against the apocalypse. Finally, your free will debate. In the case of murder you are absolutely correct, murder is already obstruction of free will, taking a life completely destroys that person's ability to choose anything. As for violence and and conflict as a whole, reality would lose all meaning if everyone unanimously agreed on everything, the freedom to choose is what makes life matter. Over all defiently an eyeopener of a video.
