I just started watching this show a week ago and im in the middle of season 2. Does it get any better? Im not talking shit about the show i know alot of people like but i think its mediocre. The only character i like is Grunkle Stan. Mabel is too LOLSORANDUMXDD. Dipper is generic. Soos is the worst character i've ever seen in a show dudes. Wendy is boring love interest #24532. The only laugh out loud moment was when Stan was puncing the Pterydactl in the face. Best episode was the 2D girls vs 3D girls episode.

>Does it get any better?

The second half of S2 is generally seen as the worst by fans. So, no, it doesn't.

>but i think its mediocre
You're being too generous.

Why are people so in love with this show on Sup Forums?

Are they? I thought it was just 5 or 6 people who posted on the "general." It's a really bad show.

Nah you just have to shit taste, the show is fantastic through and through

Gravity Falls actually seems bigger in real life among normies and on tumblr, YouTube, twitter and such than on Sup Forums. Sup Forums doesn't like it much but everyone everywhere else sucks its dick.

IRL normies loooove Mabel. I've come across a lot of kids that worship her.

For here part of the experience was the "game" of decoding and theorizing. Like Lost.

Many will argue that it amounted to nothing. Like Lost.

You missed a good half of the "experience" so it's hard to say.

Now Season 2B is extremely plot heavy though Sup Forums felt it was rushed, but if you don't and like mostly plot heavy episodes, maybe you will like it.

well, like other anons said. Second half of season 2 is plot-driving and lacks of "fillers" (except one episode). The show was meant to have 3 seasons, but its creator just ended it in 2 seasons.

Sup Forums liked it a lot during season 1. people stopped talking about it because there are too many people bitter about the ending or mabel.

I don't know what to tell you. I guess either you are missing something crucial about the theme or maybe you just aren't as much into the style of writing as I am. To me, GF is the best cartoon ever made. Feel free to disagree. I know a lot of people do. I'm just curious what shows DO you like then?

>To me, GF is the best cartoon ever made
How? Even if you think the themes are great, the artstyle isn't that good, the dialogue is bad at times, and many of the characters are unlikeable. Not only that, but many of the "lessons" are actually counterproductive. What is there to like about it? It's mediocre at best.

I agree is no the best cartoon ever, but it was not mediocre
It was good, to me at least

No it doesnt, but if you're in the middle of Season 2 it's not like there's much left.

Grunkle Stan is the best character, you've got good taste

Your story sounds fake and gay.
Of course you ask at that point if it gets better.

>Im not talking shit about the show

OP basically that entire paragraph is doing exactly that

It was solidly good. There were a handful of "great" moments and episodes that led people to expect more and the hiatuses drove the hype right through the roof. But it was not mediocre. It was good.

>Grunkle Stan is the best character, you've got good taste

This is at least something we can all agree on.

Weirdmaggeddon was my favorite part of the series and it was at the very end of S2. So, you have that to look forward to?

Funniest part of the series

youtube.com/watch?v=ko7xBcMw-Xg

youtube.com/watch?v=kG8kBsHTGuE

I have a /ss/ and incest fetish

indeed

i was never interested in this show, i only got a handful of /u/ fanart of it
however coincidentally while browsing through the channels i noticed it came on and decided to give it a try.
It was "okay", Mabel was a bit cute, so i was thinking of putting it on my backlog.

I have one question though, the blond girl around Mabels age, as seen in pic related, how often does she appear? Now i know Mabel is not gay canonically, and i promise i won't bother Gravity Falls thread with shipping stuff, but i am still a bit interested.

Pacifica's massive breasts.

Don't get used to seeing her often. She only makes a few appearences in the entire show. In fact the series has a serious problem with developing its characters.

Creator is a bit of a snob and an annoying liberal.

I still don't get it. He could make the series more complete by sticking to the original 3 seasons plan. There was no point to rush it.

The blonde girl is named Pacifica Northwest and she is in about 15 episodes, I think, though sometimes just in the background. She has a few focus episodes, I want to say half a dozen or so?

She and Mabel have a rivalry and one big "ship launching" episode, Golf War. Her other big episode, Northwest Mansion Mystery, led to lots of Dipper shipping, but I'll tell you now nothing becomes canon, really for any ships from the show. So you can so what you like.

Despite NMM, the pairing of Mabel/Pacifica, which is called Mabifica, is maybe the second most popular pairing for the fandom by sheer content, and there is a lot of fan art for it, including fan art still being made although the show is over.

I'm a /u/ser and started watching partly (teeny tiny part though) for Mabifica, while it is definitely not worth watching for any /u/ alone since there isn't any, I like the ship and am not disappointed with what I got from it. I knew there was nothing really but if you know that you should be fine. I like rival ships so yuri rival is great for me. Also Pacifica starts out a shallow stereotype but becomes much more interesting in the second season.

I like Pacifica a lot.

I don't think it was really his choice.

And not see Wierdmageddon until 2020? I think I'll take the two seasons.

Yeah, you guys are right too. Lets wait and see what is in the upcoming journal 3.

...

...

This is the show for that...

and don't forgot this knowyourmeme.com/photos/1017457-gravity-falls

>in the middle of season 2. Does it get any better?

no

watch up to the season 1 finale, then stop watching

of all the words of tongue and pen
the saddest these
what might have been

I dunno, I would say the mid-series 2 intended s2 season finale Not What He Seems was definitely the best episode of the entire show, and lots of the Season 2A episodes were way up there, too.

waifus

muh lore.
In truth it's just a pretty good comedy show with some good character and horror stuff thrown into the mix but it's not the greatest show ever that many claim.

The story itself isn't that great and is hyped up because it's their and not many kids show have that.

strange/quirky yet memorable characters

youtube.com/watch?v=l5WQu6R_jdM

aw shit, I got mixed up

I consider Not What He Seems to be the true season finale, I dunno why I thought that

>tfw GF will only ever be a pale imitation of what it could have become

The hell is going on in that picture?

Are they? They were at one point but I'm pretty sure everyone thinks the show is mediocre now that it ended.

Star vs/Loud House is the new hotness. Both mediocre shows carried by their devoted followers of waifufags and fanfic nuts.

cool lore, fun and funny characters, super comfy aesthetic, and MYSTERIES

...

Uh Dipper and Mabel start growing strange bulbous growths and then Mabel starts licking Dipper's growths sexily off of him?

That reminds me, has anyone seen this?

pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=57799471

What the fuck? Like it seems to be some sort of Billdip thing, but what the fuck is going on, everything's in black and white with strange religious icongraphy, Dipper hallucinates a creepy clown in the middle of a crowd, Grenda or Candy or someone throws a drink on Dipper and Mabel is having some Godfather-esque wedding or something, I don't even know? Is this the European indie arthouse version of a yaoi comic? Fuck.

I think it's more about the potential the show had if hirsch hadn't bitched out and if the show weren't on Disney

Sup Forumsmrades love circlejerking to almost-but-not-quite shows

>pic related

Is that fan art? Because if so goddamn that's impressive.

no clue, bro

it really is nice though

...

Did anyone like GF right off the back because of the premise? I spent a ton of my childhood in a north woods of the Midwestern United states (my relatives have a lot of lake houses in Minnesota), along with going on a few trips as a kid to some nat parks in Montana, and even going to Oregon the summer GF premiered (I was in Mt. Hood, just above GF on the map from the first episode).

Collectively, the show was good, not great, but good. I just cannot explain how much I fucking loved it summer of 2012 right when S1 started.

One thing that was/is always fantastic about Gravity Falls: the fan art.

No, I had similar experiences and liked it for the same reasons.

>Now Season 2B is extremely plot heavy though Sup Forums felt it was rushed
>dungeons dungeons and more dungeons
>roadside attraction
>plot
DaMvstF, Last Mabelcorn, and Weirdmageddon (which belongs tied to DaMvstF) are the only main plot. Tale of Two Stans was exposition with mo mystery or progression. It's weirdmageddon's fault it seems rushed, because 1/3 of 2B was that alone. Weirdmageddon episodes don't stand well alone, they should have been a seperate movie. Other than that, the rest of the post is correct.

It looks official

>inexplicable nostalgia when watching GF

I had an awful time camping when I was a kid, didn't really get a good appreciation for the outdoors until I was an adult

I think that yearning for the idyllic summer is what makes GF so comfy to me

also I don't have a hot twin sister

One fun game to play after you watch the series is trying to figure out what's going on with the billion AUs and AU combinations the series spawned, which have since spread like a horrible virus around the whole world.

I'm pretty sure I left off at the episode where they run into dinosaurs back in season one, just stopped keeping up with it.
I'll catch back up at some point but the way it apparently ends on a sour not is eh whatever. I'm sure it isn't as bad as people make it out to be though.

>roadside attraction
have to admit the episode not execute at its finest, but the amount of emotion ride was pretty intense, even I marathoned the series recently.

>that animal AU

god why

some of them are fun though, like antigravity and the age swap one

favorite areas in GF?

>you will never spend a summer with your cool but weird grunkle
>you will never make new friends that'll last a lifetime

>that animal AU
>god why


Two words: monster girls.

deer dipper is gay as fuck tho

...

>many of the characters are unlikeable
Do you mean that the characters have absolutely no redeeming or enjoyable qualities, or that they merely have inherent character flaws? Because flaws are what make characters great. Mabel went to shit at the end of the series because the writers decided to turn her into a Perfect Specimen that could do no wrong.

Deer Dipper, like all Dippers, was very quickly re-purposed for gay porn, but at least we got some Padippica hypno fetish out of it, so a mixed bag.

Yeah, but you'll also never get suckered into selling your soul to Bill Cipher, suffering through the Weirdmageddon, or something like that.

OR WILL YOU?

please tell me there's more of this

flaws are what make characters interesting and likable. It is not surprised that characters start out with winning combo (without flaw) lose to characters that eventually become better via characterizations/developments.

Maaaaaaybe...

big boob pacifica
Monster Girl Pacifica

when i come across the big boobed monster snake girl pacifica my boners gonna explode.....

just hope I am in a safe place when this happens

Dana (one of the boarders) did an AMA, I skimmed it but didn't see anything new. Her version of human Bill would be "Alex screaming into a microphone." Didn't see anything much but it's here

This pleases me. Thank you user.

Monster Falls? Plenty

I'm sure there's a tag and a buttload more on tumblr

>Mabel as a mermaid
remind me of this

>tfw you're one of the very few people on this site who thinks the show was pretty good despite its downcline

>tfw people only want to talk about tye negatives of the show whenever there's a thread

>and she's so gorgeous!

holy shit, this will never not be funny

I wonder how much the porn had to do with hirsch bailing on GF

I assume the Mermando episode is why Mabel is a mermaid in Monster Falls. Dipper being a deer is apparently some weird pun on Alex's name.

The porn based basically on him and his sister fucking may have made him uncomfortable, but when he was a kid I think he was on Deviantart, he'd be clueless not to realize a fuckton of really bizarre porn will pop up as it does for everything. I think he's always says he doesn't mind people doing it he just doesn't want to see, hear, be asked about, or think about it at all.

WORST PART OF 2B COLLECTIVE POLL. EVERYONE VOTE

strawpoll.me/10765779

>Mabel never actually entered Earth's atmosphere from space and burnt up before impact

Rip off.

Hardly anything. It's just a small portion of all the fanart.

And Hirsch isn't one of those people who wouldn't tell people to stop drawing something even if others find it offensive. He subtly defended BillDip and even made this twitter comment
>Amazing that some people consider this a controversial statement. Artists don't tell other artists what not to draw- censors do

Some people liked it, believe it or not, for the fanservice for gay chubby chasers

>The only character i like is Grunkle Stan. Mabel is too LOLSORANDUMXDD. Dipper is generic. Soos is the worst character i've ever seen in a show dudes. Wendy is boring love interest #24532
Are you me? That's the exact thought I've had when watching the show.

>I'll catch back up at some point but the way it apparently ends on a sour not is eh whatever. I'm sure it isn't as bad as people make it out to be though.
The ending is a high point actually. it's just the 2b episodes that precede which are weak

>chubby chasers

Oh!

>Gay

Oh...

>Does it get any better?
No.
It's been popular here and around the Internet, but it was never good. It had lots of potential, but decided to waste it on non-stop humor

Is this /gfg/?

I'm sure there are femanons who like fat guys too, but that is a rarity.

almost everything listed there is true, but I'd have to say Alex giving up/trying too hard to be like Justin Roiland/trying to jump ship to "adult" animation is what truly ruined Season 2B

is he seriously planning to go into "adult" animation? Stuff like Family Guy that they call adult be is really only designed to appeal to people between the ages of 13 and 16

Is there any pointless episodes worth skipping? I'm on the sleepover episode and it doesn't seem that anything relevant is happening.

I suggest just skipping the show

literally nothing they built up ending up having a good payoff in the end, they managed to literally disappoint on every level, its quite impressive

you're overreacting. It was a cop out ending yes, but it's worth seeing through.

thanks for the info

/gfg/ lives on in our hearts.
