  • It's been a few years since Gravity Falls concluded, yet we still lack clarity on one big mystery - the Bill Cipher Zodiac Wheel! With hindsight and reflection, let's breakdown all 10 symbols on the Zodiac in correlation to Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Ford and the others, what their TRUE meanings could be in relation to Bill Cipher and what would have happened if the Zodiac was never interrupted!

    The llama could also be symbolized with how llamas spit at their predators for their protection. Spitting at others is obviously considered rude, just like how Pacifica is rude to others perhaps to protect her true self

    This is kinda random but I wanted to know Bill’s backstory because in the book it says 2 things “misses home and can’t return” and “says he’s happy he’s a liar” which means that whether he knows it or not he feels guilt for burning his dimension and that he’s not happy whether he wants to believe that or not and overall I just want more Bill content and stuff about him just have what caused him to go insane and destroy his family and home dimension because we don’t know basically know nothing about him and I want to know more

      When he was talking to Ford, he said that his dimension was a "flat world with flat minds and flat dreams" and he "liberated" it by burning it down. He was probably banished for what he did or he left and became this chaos God, very intelligent actually. In Weirdmageddon he says "for more than one trillion* years I've been trapped in my own decaying dimension, waiting for a new universe to call my own" which means he suffered because he had no place, but his ideal world is a world of chaos so he's a villain either way.

      Yes true! It's weirdly an unresolved story even though it's been gone for seven years now. Bill invoked the power of the Axolotl to come back, the ARG was about finding a version of Bill and the Axolotl's description of Bill might have something to tie it all together, yet I haven't really seen any theory that really resolves the story of Gravity Falls after the events of the show.

      Unofficial Name that is incredibly unlikely since he is reincarnated after Gravity Falls unless this was happening awhile before but that is unlikely because of the technology Anne has. Anne has a smartphone while in Gravity Falls I don’t remember any being there. Sure I would love more Bill but it just wouldn’t feel right in this context. There could be a show in the future where Bill could work or his reincarnation could work.

    5:36 "...BUT in the BEST way POSSIBLE."
    Trapped between dimensions for 30 years without anyone but himself, facing all kinds of traumatic things in said dimensions (that likely gave him PTSD that we never saw on screen), spending his life trying to achieve a goal that he didn't end up getting to (sure, you could argue that in the end, Bill was defeated and it doesn't matter how it happened, but most of his efforts in between dimensions were towards building something that didn't quite work out the way he intended), that's not quite the BEST.

    On the DVD commentary Hisch actually revealed that the Zodiac was only made to be something weird at the end of the credits. They thought a Mayan calendar with Bill would look cool, and filled the wheel with recurring symbols and a few random ones. He never intended to do anything with it until fans started theorizing about it and tried to do something with it. It’s interesting how the fan theories actually influenced the Cipher Wheel’s inclusion.

      Both Bill and the all seeing eye are obviously based on the well known conspiracy theory of illuminati (or I am pretty sure a different name is the all seeing eye)
      Illuminati jokes had taken over the internet around 14-15 aka around when Gravity Falls started
      So they could be connected but at the same time they are not because the amount of fame they have combined is nothing to the fame if the illuminati trigonometry jokes
      Another trivial thing unrelated to gravity falls but related to illuminati I would like to mention is that around then too mlg memes were thriving too (videos that are the worst nightmare of people with sensitive ears and the best for trully chaotic kids, which is why 12 year old me used to watch)

    The zodiac would reverse bills weirdness which would basically remove his powers and giving them to the characters then they would push bill back and bill would try to turn into his forms but would glitch similar to what happened in stans mind then bill would get pushes out of the tear in the sky and the characters would live happily ever after.

    As much as I wanted the zodiac to work, its failure completed the character arc for Stanley to be fully realized as the hero. Yes, he screwed it up, amongst some other things, but his intentions were always sincere; he loved his family. He only ever wanted to get Ford back and set things right. So with no options left, he was willing to sacrifice himself for Ford and the kids to keep them safe. Though, Bill would have probably done something diabolical to them anyway. The point is Bill's ego and ambitions undid him. I'd love to see an "alternate version" of what could have happened _but_ the ending we got was definitely right in the feels. 😭😊

When he leaves gravity falls, that is him leaving his LIFE behind.

  • @supanerdreviews4056
    @supanerdreviews4056 3 роки тому +2

    Time to get speculating. First off the zodiac is part of the prophecy which I believe has been around for 1 billion years I could be wrong. I think the zodiac was constructed after bill conquered his own dimension and acted like a special lock. What I mean is what if only new incarnations of the zodiac members can summon bill into their world. Meaning only 10 people would be able to summon him. I do agree that it could act as a double edged sword. It could prevent bills invasion or it could unleash it. What if the symbols combined act as weirdness incarnate. What if when all 10 are gathered it can provide bill enough extra power to conquer the universe/grant him dominion over it. Also what if bills lie to Ford wasn’t a complete lie. He said he’s a muse that inspires one mind a century. So what I’m saying is what if bill told a half truth and that he can only try his plan again once every century. Because if he could try whenever he could’ve waited for the ancient people to die and for someone to summon him again before Ford was even born. The zodiac could be what restricts his attempts to once a century. Furthermore I think that the zodiac if truly completed could seal off the nightmare dimension permanently

I had an idea, however, that maybe when the zodiac was completed, it would have summoned the Ancient Axolotl, who would frighten Bill so much (because the axolotl is like a god or whatever while Bill is only a demon) and the Ancient Axolotl would have permanently destroyed/killed Bill. Then again, yours makes more sense when we look at the caveman graffiti.

But when Modok got wise to Cipher's schemes, he destroyed the makeshift portal generator he was building, left the prophecy warning and wheel on the cave wall, and then set himself on fire.

  • @milhouseburns
    @milhouseburns 3 роки тому +2

    a personal theory of mine is maybe the Zodiac method would lead to a longer season or airtime to make it work, they can't just stand and hold hands and defeat Bill in a snap, it has to have either a grand sequence of events leading to his defeat or another conflict before his demise, as the vid said "putting their minds to the test" seeing how the other characters were never really involved to the supernatural events like Robbie, it would create a plot hole on how he endured the Zodiac prophecy, his largest paranormal involvement was Weirdmaggedon apart from that street fighter parody episode. So maybe they cut the zodiac method is to save time, avoid plot holes, and avoid complicated plot points overall

  • @TheBlackDemon1996
    @TheBlackDemon1996 4 роки тому +1

    Yeah, so fun fact: The Zodiac was never meant to be a big thing. Originally, the image that was going to appear in the opening was the six fingered hand, but Alex Hirsch decided to replace it because he discovered the TV show Fringe also had a six fingered hand. The idea for the Zodiac was created by Alex in a meeting with Ian Worrel when he was running late for another meeting in an attempt to replace it. The symbols on the wheel were just random symbols from the seven episodes they'd already made by that point, and when the Zodiac became such a phenomenon in the fandom Alex realized he had to write it into the story somehow.

  • @PlayersUnitedArt

    Maybe it did work. The second everyone stepped on their symbol and joined hands, Ford actually let something off his chest. A grammar correction that highlights putting the other person before yourself. Something he accuses Stanley of never doing, and he himself is guilty of ignoring. Shortly after you see them repenting and talking it out and even making up, leading to the deal that ultimately defeated Bill. Maybe all it did was give them a little nudge.
