Just admit you miss it

I miss the world depicted in the first three episodes. The series jumped the shark after that in my opinion.
But it's pretty average for a show by modern standards. You have Over The Garden Wall and Costume Quest both at a similar level of quality.

I miss what it was, I don't miss what it became at the end.
It's like having a cool neighbour who used to let you hang out in his pool with all your friends, you had a great time in that warm, breezy summer just laughing, making jokes, having a good time, maybe even having ice cream now and then to fend off the warmth.
You remember that summer well, it was the summer of your first kiss (and handjob), it was the summer you got a cracking set of grades, you even earned some cash mowing the guys lawn and managed to buy something you've always wanted, everything was good, nothing was bad.

Then it turned out right at the end of summer that the cool guy that was letting you all hang out in his pool was a convicted pedophile and you found that out when the party van came and dragged him off, complete with evidence he watched you get your first handy through a spy-hole.

No matter how good the most of it was, the ending tainted it.

Who /straightblanchin'/ here

The occasional drawfag taking requests in the generals, and some of the /gfg/ memes

Was the TV just a distraction or something more mysterious here?

Seemed weird Dipper fell for it that quickly.

It's still the catchiest song of the summer

the show was alright
stumbled at the finish line pretty hard though, so i'd honestly say i enjoyed star more — besides the last season, but if i pretend it ends with meteora it works pretty well, desu

It really is

Jesus Christ user, are you alright?

Hypnotized Dipper won't ever get old to me

Mysteries are most fun when you don't have all the answers, and have to replace them with shitpost theorycrafting. And speaking of SU, the same thing has happened to it now that all the questions about Rose Quartz and gems in general have been answered

I miss the threads more than I miss the show tb-h

What are some of your favorite parts of the threads?

Star started strong and got worse. The whole last season is pretty mediocre.

GF only really had a rough latter half of the second season

I miss Pacifica's massive breasts.

if you pretend that it ended at season 3, star vs is a pretty good show unless you care a whole bunch about romantic resolution and the dangling thread of globgor
gravity falls had good jokes, decent characters, and great episodic stories, but needed a third season — or just more episodes — to wrap everything up. it still baffles me that people say 'it ended strong'
tl;dr star needed to be shorter, GF needed to be longer

I don't think Gravity falls is fun to watch anymore now that the mystery has been solved
It's a mistake every single story that relies heavily on mystery has made, once you solve the mystery than a large portion of the narrative has been destroyed (and often because the mystery is the foundation once it's solved then everything else comes crumbling down) and nothing you make can be satisfying, so solving the mystery isn't even worth it for the audience

I think SU did it better because mystery was used as a tool to build up tension instead of it being a core reason to watch the show, so they'd slowly show pieces of this world and it always felt big (Eg. Japser's arrival, even seeing lapis was a huge deal because you didn't even know if other gems existed) and it was good

But the best example of how to handle to mystery is easily Over the Garden Wall, the mystery is never solved so the same intrigue the show has at the beginning stays all the way throughout, A show with a question but no awnsers is the Ideal

SUtranny, this makes no sense. Once you learn about the Gem's origins (which werent much of a "mystery" just a backstory that took forever to explore) there isnt much else to them. Once you realize the fat little kike is just going to beat every threat by crying or singing, it loses all gravity and tension.

Gravity Falls has humor, which Tranny Universe couldnt write to save its life. It has better side characters as well, and design that doesnt make you want to gauge your eyes out either. GF ended too soon, while SU really needs to just fuck off already.

Yikes, you got really triggered

SU isn't better than anything, and OtGW has become an overrated sacred cow. Go back to whacking it to your pink Tootie rip-off Cuphead fotm thing.

The loreposting for sure, especially when everything started coming together in the run-up to NWHS

What about Dipper hypnotizing Wendy?

Lorefaggotry is an easy road but it's a road to nowhere. Any dumbass can create a most banal story, shred it to pieces and sprinkle atop of the narrative - but actually moving story and characters forward is much harder, but it's the only way to create something actually worthwhile.

Obviously, that doesn't mean there shouldn't be any backstory or worldbuilding, but the question audience should wonder about the most is "what will happen next" not "what happened before"

Other than Dipper, who would be the best victim of "Mabel hypnotizing ___ to think and act like her" and why?

>but the question audience should wonder about the most is "what will happen next" not "what happened before"
This. And I want to bring up Breaking Bad's incredible way of making people want to re-run the show even though they know what happens because the tension is so thick and conflicts keep building with no break. There's no mystery, you know what's going to happen, but it's just executed so well you want to see the events play out again.

Seconded

Wendy. They're the two females of the main characters.

How would she look dressed like Mabel?

I wish they did more with Bill Cipher.

I'm still hoping they'll do another comic including some glimpse at something Bill has done outside of the Gravity Falls related events.

>Mabel brings out a hypnotised Wendy to show everyone the results
>She's in one of Mabel's jumpers and skirts
>They're tiny on her
>The sweater exposes her stomach, and is stretched tight across her chest, the skirt is practically a belt
>Dipper quickly excuses himself

If that was true, Mousetrap wouldn't be the most popular mystery story in existence. Sometimes, a well-written, well-conceived, well-thought out story is better than gimmicky writing.

As much as I liked the mystery aspect of Gravity Falls, one of the things that made the show for me was that nearly every episode was enjoyable in its own right (barring shit like Roadside Attraction, even then there's some good jokes in there).

Also as someone who loved Over the Garden Wall as well (more than Gravity Falls even), what the hell are you talking about? By the end of OTGW, you know very well what was happening, the only question is HOW it all happened, which is up to interpretation.
