So, Disney was expecting the show to hit mostly only kids, which it was popular with them. But they didn't realize how big it was becoming on social media (remember, this was 2012-2013. I dont think they even had a twitter at the time).
@@saudigamer2003 It's just an artist choice. No mystery or significance. Although, the theories around the four fingers if they were significant are interesting.
It's sort of glanced over in the episode, but the fake tree on top of the bunker is the same one that Dipper found his journal in, back in episode 1. That bunker, and the shapeshifter were there the entirety of season 1! Kinda spooky!
I find it absolutely hilarious that you guys never noticed the journals were covered with the image of a six-fingered hand but immediately zeroed-in on the "vase" in Grunkle Stan's room.
@@xqu1cthis is def not just a kids show, me personally younger me who watched it when it just came out didn’t get half of what was going on 🤷♀️ not that big a deal imo, as long as they get it
And just to clarify, the shape shifter was taking the form of the dude on the can of beans, not what the author actually looked like. The true appearance of the author is yet to be known.... And btw, don't look up anything about Gravity Falls on UA-cam or anywhere else. Even the thumbnails on some videos contain major spoilers!
9:56 I've watched this show several times now, and this is my first time noticing that dude took the puma and the panther shirts and stitched them together
That conversation between Wendy and Dipper is one of my favorites in the entire series. As someone who shipped them from the start, I actually love how their relationship turned out a lot more than I would have if they ended up together. I think it’s important to show a relationship which is basically “we can’t be together, but I care about/love you so much.” Their friendship only grows stronger from here, and I’m here for every second of it! Also yeah, there’s a ton of lore in Season 2, so buckle up
Eh, I never really saw it. Sure it is a bit cute, but at the same time she is too old for him besides after all the stuff in the mansion, I can see him ending up with Pacifica
@@kingme1313 Pacifica seems to be what the creators are setting up, and there are hints in the comics and stuff But I think you misunderstand. I don’t think Wendy and Dipper should get together NOW, Wendy’s made her thoughts on the matter quite clear and Dipper clearly respects that. I’m saying I think it’d be cute if they got together in a few years, when the age gap becomes not as relevant. For adults, a 2-3 year age gap is nothing.
wendy is so cool man, she's even cool about it when he completely embarrasses himself in front of her, she doesnt take any chance to make him feel worse and just says 'look man i genuinely think ur a pretty cool lil guy and i like hanging out w you'
You really should have watched the Gravity Falls shorts, especially Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained. One of them actually ties in to something that happens later on this season.
5:39 Disney said: You're not allowed to write spin the bottle on the party invitations because it's about kissing (even though spin the bottle has been mentioned before in the show) and also: don't put soos in a bear costume he'll look like a furry! But Disney didn't think about how that name plate could be read? I'm just sayingggg
to be fair wendy and robbie were dating at one ppint that heart could have been carved during that time and not him being creepy...but to be fair its also Robbie so its 50/50
y'all hit rhe jackpot hint when one of you noticed the 6 fingered gloves but i won't gonna spoil anymore. The only thing i'll say is that it is one the reason why the hands in the cover page of the journal has 6 fingers it's because the author has 6 fingers.
Because Dipper actually faced consequences in this episode, he also apologized when he was on the verge of death, did Mabel ever apologized for causing weirdmaggedon that could've take lives of billions innocent people?
Everyone knew what they were getting into and that it would be dangerous, they all experienced how gravity falls can be dangerous, they could've just not come. Mabel keeps making the same mistakes over and over, never learns a thing, i like Mabel but she is really selfish.
As an older sibling who therefor had kids years younger than me in the house constantly as a teenager, the kindest thing you can really do is pretend you don't notice when a younger kid has an obvious crush on you. As long as they aren't doing any behaviors that need to be corrected like peeping, creeping, or harassment, you just kind of gotta let them get it out of their system.
Crazy how the form the shape shifter takes when talking about dipper is the exact same form Dipper makes when he’s turned to stone at the north west manor. how did he know??
I love mabel, but I would never say she's the best character. Imo best characters are 1. Stan and dipper and Bill 2. A future major character and soos 3. Pacifica 4. Wendy 5. Mabel
@@shadowmahesh9876 Yeah, Pacifica unfortunately loses a spot due to her disappearing after a certain episode until the finale, and kind of backsliding in character. I actually really liked her after that episode (possibly my favourite ep) and was super disappointed that she basically does nothing else in the series.
@@iainmcdonalds4018 yea that’s my reason as well it’s think they did that to prevent the story from getting overly complicated by adding another relationship to it. That’s probably why they ended the Wendy thing here as wel
I’d put Mable over Pacifica tbh. Mostly cuz Pacifica just doesn’t have enough episodes to show her development in s2. If she did, I’d have placed her higher, maybe above Mabel depending on how well they did it. Wendy is hard to place. When I was a teen I despised her character but when I grew older, I found her cute in her teen ways lol
@@shadowmahesh9876 I don’t think it’s cuz of the relationship, I just think they sorta rushed her development and didn’t figure out what to do with her
Okay thank you, H-man. He's 12 and she's 15. If they were in their 20s it'd work. But rn no. So if they continued the series, like if dipper comes back to gravity falls and he's older like after high school. Then it'd work
Wait, did they seriously not notice during the entirety of season 1 that the Author's golden handprint symbol on the journals has _six fingers?_ And that's why the glove in the secret lab also has six fingers, indicating the Author built the lab below the Mystery Shack? (And the Shack as well, explaining all the weird experiments in it, like the mind-swapping carpet in the forgotten room.) EDIT: Oh they finally figure it out in S2Ep2, just before the shapeshifter mentions it. XD
He didnt build it but he worked on it and taught it himself, which is very VERY impressive. People seem to think he's still the dumb twin who we thought was smart but he's not. Not even Stanford came up with the designs.
Ruff: Why would he have a random empty vase next to the bed? Me: Well, I can think of a few things but this reminded me of story I recently heard. He could have it so he doesn't have to go to the bathroom to pee in the middle of the night. Sounds gross but I've heard stories of people using soda bottles the same way. Only other thing I can think of is him using it as a spittoon but I haven't really seen him smoke, so it's probably my first suspicion. That is if it's not supposed to be what you guys suspect it is. XD
Cris in the animated series of Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous there was a dinosaur hybrid that kinda had a mind of a human and could stand like one as well called the Scorpious-rex (I forgot the name)
I can only imagine what it must have felt like to wait between episodes, let alone between the two seasons (which was a year). Sometimes the wait would be 4 months before the newest one came out. And remember, these are only 22 minutes long (even shorter when considering the intro and credits).
scary-oke is one of my favorite episodes of the show, i definitely never skip it when i rewatch. stan beating the shit out of zombies to protect the kids is absolute fire
Your comments about the 6 fingered glove and then just brushing it off and saying there's probably nothing to it is so funny (in a positive way, obviously there's not really a way you could've known but still funny)
Gideon wants to control Gravity Falls because it's one focus point for weird extradimensional and magical energies and artifacts on Earth. Not because of the handful of people there.
"[About the six fingered glove] He buys really shitty quality stuff I don't think theres anything more to it than that" this man is either the cleverest person (to throw off his friends) or he's the most infuriating force ever
My fav little thing, dipper get push into Wendy chest slightly has him glance at it before quickly looking away. I'm sure it just reading to much, but I always thought it was funny
It's funny how they come clause with there hypothsis on the story yet still never get any closer (like there almost always halfway in one way or another)
It's been a minute since I've watchd the show itself, but in Robbie's defense - he and Wendy actually did date for some time, which I think is probably when he could've carved those letters on a tree, so it's really not that creepy.
Well If you are done with Gravity Falls you guys can get started on Amphibia and/or The Owls House. Amphibia actually has its finally episode coming up right now so maybe start with that one next. Though Personally The Owl House just edges out Amphibia as the better show I think. But they’re both really good shows made by people who worked on Gravity Falls.
These are episodes you have to get excited for. These 2 you just watched Episode 4 Episode 7 Episode 8 Episode 10 Episode 11 and 12 Episode 15 Episode 17 And the 3 part finale of episodes 18,19 and 20
I know they already finished this but I hope you realize that doing these "these are what you should be excited for" is in itself a spoiler, especially when they weren't even aware that season 1 finale was a 2 parter until they actually saw the to ve continued. It's one of the most annoying aspects of some fans who can't help themselves and indirectly spoil potential stuff to look out for. It goes against the reaction experience.
Completely missing there's 6 fingers on the book cover, they proceed to saythere ain't much more to a 6 fingered glove, big oof xD Also definitely Wendy's house and Robbie's a creep XD Since there were axes and saws on the outside of the house and her father is a lumberjack :D
I WILL NEVER STOP SAYING IT - Disney missed out on SO much money by not making official Mabel Sweaters as merch.
Wait really Disney????
People would have purchased most of those designs even if they never saw the show, ha ha

ive made my own mabel sweater with thrift finds! i got an ice cream cone from a baby shirt and put it on a bright pink sweater!
They watched a whole season without realizing the book’s hand has 6 fingers 🤣
Nah I didn't realize that either until I pumped up those theory videos on youtube lol xD Good old days

@@saudigamer2003 yes, of course.

That dude who voices the Shapeshifter is really great, he captures the sinister tone perfectly. He could be a great Joker
I see what you did there
Well played
Nice😀
If only
I thought it was the guy that voiced Belethor in Skyrim.
Part of the greatness of season 2 is that it reveals how much season 1 was giving away without you realizing it at the time you watched it.
I can’t believe the stuff that you guys talked about- the crush, returning the journal- got explained in the episode! Perfect, pfff-

Gotta say, the 3 year gap as adults is different from the 3 year gap as teens
"the amount of times there's been some paranormal shit in front of these people and they act like nothing happened"
yeaaah, about that.. 😅

"The six fingers doesn't matter."
"She's just a dumb teenager."
"Nobody notices the weird shit."

Nah robbies just creepy🤣 I like that better lmao
Now I'm imagining the Straw Hat Pirates at Thriller Bark, defeating all the zombies with karaoke the same way the Pines family did.
The islands in the south are waaaaarm!

I think they figured that out when the shifter said "six-fingered freak".
Here we go, you guys get ready for a wild ride, because this season is amazing.
The frowny wink face happens when you press ; instead of : cuz they’re next to each other on the keyboard lol
I always thought the winking eye was meant to symbolize Robbie's edgy emo haircut covering his eye LOL.
That “ANYONE ELSE WANT A PIECE!?” is probably my favorite line/moment in the entire series
Wendy is one of the best written female character in cartoons for a long time. She's awesome but also has real issues in her life.
perfect reactions! my only concern is that you guys sometimes talk over the best jokes! ahhhh!
It’s a lot more likely that Robby and Wendy carved that in the tree together when they were still dating.
The fact that Dipper goes this far just to discover the author putting Everyone in danger and still people just goes straight against Mabel
Both of them can be horrible sometimes, Mabel guilttrips people sometimes, and Dipped can be very defiant and put people in danger.
Because Dipper actually faced consequences in this episode, he also apologized when he was on the verge of death, did Mabel ever apologized for causing weirdmaggedon that could've take lives of billions innocent people?
Everyone knew what they were getting into and that it would be dangerous, they all experienced how gravity falls can be dangerous, they could've just not come. Mabel keeps making the same mistakes over and over, never learns a thing, i like Mabel but she is really selfish.

It’s a spittoon, a metal pot for spitting in usually chewing tobacco
Well If you are done with Gravity Falls you guys can get started on Amphibia and/or The Owls House.
Amphibia actually has its finally episode coming up right now so maybe start with that one next.
Though Personally The Owl House just edges out Amphibia as the better show I think.
But they’re both really good shows made by people who worked on Gravity Falls.
