>>84090276
good question
>>84090276
Gravity Falls General
it died out pretty fast as the show ended, a pretty big sign of how quickly people soured on the show
His points aren't really new, but they are still true.
Alex is a fraud and a retard for not giving it a 3rd season.
But at least it isn't 80% filler episodes like SU
>>84090344
/gfg/ was pretty dead for the entire last year or so
blame fifty billion hiatuses
also /gfg/ did get banned as soon as the show ended and during the many hiatuses to be fair
>>84090157

wrong url, same as above but there's another video about this here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IQ76q1EYS0
>>84090421
the term is Hack
also GF was 100% filler episodes because there wasn't really a plot anyway
who was the author? didn't really matter
What was Bill? just some guy
What did the symbols mean? nothing really
why was everything weird? because it was weird idk aliens or something

I'm actually kidding, a lot of people just don't think you can like a show and criticize it at the same time
>>84090344
>Content stops coming
>Generals stop
This is how it's supposed to be and I don't think is indicative of anyone "souring" on the show.
>>84091122
Pieguy is also the only SU fan I've seen make criticism towards SU outside of /co/he's my favorite cartoon critic
>>84090344
>>84090428
I think if /gfg/ was still alive, it wouldn't be full of fans, it would be full of people calling Alex a hack, people complaining about the finale,etc.
It's probably for the best that it's dead
Grendip is best ship.
Reminder that Journal 3 and the inevitable bill statue hunt will be way better than season 2B.
They needed 3 seasons and a movie to wrap this thing up.
Also the movie would need to be rated R.
>>84093058
>shit art for shit ship
How ironic
The theme song is the best thing ever, and I remember watching through season 1 hoping that the twins would eventually stop fawning over impossible love interests and get to some mystery hunting with Uncle Stan.
I love the jokes and the stories of each episode, even if sometimes it ended in a typical Disney fashion where the character learns something and needs to explain their growth at the end.
The fandom is phenomenal and I love how the codes were quickly solved by fans and available on the wiki for the lazy like me. Also the art is great.
Even if the overall story felt pretty unfulfilling, I'm still happy and grateful that such a wonderful show was made.
>>84093152
>The fandom is phenomenal
Confirmed for having never visited a single /gfg/ thread on /co/.
>>84090465
i guess i dont disagree, but i sure as fuck never got so EMOTIONAL about this as people did. fuckit, she was cute. not-learning-her-lesson made her look like a worse person. that was a knock on her, not a free ride. the SHOW called her out.
Why is most of the fandom dead as a doornail except for the odd giant-breasted Pacifica, incest faggotry, or shipper fanfic while the Bill people churn out more shit than ever? Is it memes?
>>84093348
Autism has a very long half life.
>>84093281
people here thought they were dipper so mabel not worshipping her brother and sucking his cock made them awful mad
I've been rewatching Gravity Falls lately and if there's one thing I noticed, it's how poorly written Dipper is. Every episode is just him actually trying to do something right and move the story along, only to have to stop midway and A P O L O G I Z E to Mabel for whatever the plot demands this time.
For fucks sake Alex really is a hack if he can't even write his protagonist well
>>84093389
he can't get over his nu male fixation with the idea that women can do no wrong.
>>84090276
Fucking newfag.
I never even went to the generals even though I enjoyed the show, but come on.
So is /tlhg/ the new /gfg/?
>>84093535
/gfg/ did at least have mystery and decoding shit and show analysis though, it wasn't 100% waifufagging like /tlhg/ is.
Oh lord the Miraculous one is hilarious

Also, while the finally was pretty shit, I think there is still a lot of love for it overall.
Did the journal came out yet?
>>84094618

Where were you when you realized Steven Universe had more substantial mysteries than Gravity Falls the show that's been heavily advertised and pushed based on being a mystery story?
>>84094807
You're a fag
>>84094807
Nowhere since that didn't happen.
>>84090276
Garfield General
>>84096338
Gravity Falls had Ford. That's literally it. The blind eye society, the Stan hints, everything in the show that was a secret was built around the reveal that Stan had a twin brother named Ford who wrote the Journals.
Steven Universe has Pink Diamond, Rose's role in the Rebellion, Pearl's backstory, Garnet as a fusion, the Diamond Authority in general, and Lion, which is just off the top of my head.
>>84090157
I like how they pointed out how terrible Mabel was and how she got literally everything she wanted while dipper always sacrificed for her. As it turns out, only literal autistic fans that self insert as her defend her shittyness.

I remember there was a pic that showed Dipper wrapped in a blanket burrito-style, being hypnotized by glitter, and wearing a fluffy, snug sweater. I'm not sure where it is, though.

I no longer feel sorry for Manzi. She sure did dodge a bullet there.
>>84094807
Reading 20th Century Boys.
In the Berenstein universe, we got three seasons of "Gravity Falls" and a TV movie. The big reveal of Stan and Ford being twin brothers was the Season 2 finale, and the lead-in to Weirdmaggedon was Season 3, with Weirdmaggedon itself being the TV movie. Every question we had would be answered over the course of the third season, with some extant questions being relegated to a post-series book series modeled after the three journals.
In this Berenstain universe, we got two seasons. Stan/Ford became the mid-season finale, and Weirdmaggedon became the season/series finale entirely. All questions were left unanswered, with only a handful explained in a single book modeled after Journal #3.
>>84096991
Anyone know where this is?

I think he was just frustrated with the way Disney was treating the show. With the way they kept putting it on hiatus he'd probably be chained to Disney for another 3-5 years if he did another season and a movie.

This is pretty cringe. Didn't know he was such a SJW.
>>84097353

>>84097378
Did my choice of words trigger you friendo
Season 1 was the funniest cartoon since Spongebob. I loved every minute of it. Season 2 was a fucking let down though. It tanked the plot hard. Alex got bored with it and/or "couldn't handle it anymore" and he ended it too soon. Characters suffered, plot suffered, pacing suffered, etc. It really did need three seasons and a feature film. They barely explained any mysteries. All of them were shrugged off like in this post : >>84090476
. The show doesn't really mean anything at all now. I'll still have nostalgia of it (show started when I was 15) and season one was funny but it dropped the ball so fucking hard it's hilarious. Seriously, what happened to the books opening ultimate power or the aliens and where the creatures came from? Also, Bill's homeworld and all these other dropped details like Blendin and where he went and how he even fucking relates to the story. The show went from being well written to laughable. Especially after Not What He Seems, which might be the single best episode of western animation.
Jesus Christ.
>>84097343

>>84090169

Yup, that's pretty much about right.
>>84097626
"show started when I was 15"
Who let this fucking child on 4chan?
>>84096495
Alex is a mongoloid and his argument doesn't follow
Putting someone on a Watchlist doesn't strip them of any rights, it just marks them as someone to look out for, which is why making these lists without due process, while prone to abuse, isn't fundamentally a problem.
But once you start using those lists, created without any real oversight, to take away rights from people then you're on a SERIOUSLY slope into authoritarianism.
>>84097626

Yeah, such a lazy hack.
>>84097799
The watchlists were already being used to keep people off airplanes. War on Terror people didn't have a problem with the lists then but now that guns are involved they suddenly have something to say. And once this current incident blows over they're going to be silent on it until the next big shooting.
>>84094807
Yeah, but Gravity Falls had a real mystery, SU has mystery because Sugar attended the Adventure Time School of Being a Backstory Cocktease.

>"I can either finish this project, creating potentially one of the biggest accomplishments in serialized animation and carving my name into the history of the medium or I can leave it half finished, go create a slew of other properties that unlikely to ever reach the heights of my previous project and be forever remembered as a middling hack who can't see things through."
Yup, seems like lazy hack behavior to me.
>>84097343
Disney was doing constant hiatuses because Alex was already wanting to end the show after Season 2. They were hoping they could negotiate with him to make a 3rd Season.
Faggot should've counted himself lucky, Craig & Lauren would probably kill to get 3rd Season for WOY.
>>84096447
Honestly both shows are pretty good.
>>84096430
Mabel really got forgotten and neglected as the show went on, that's all. The show was more invested in the mysteries and therefore Dipper. They should have had Mabel get interested in the mysteries, too.
>>84098860
I think the writing staff and Hirsch in particular were way too in love with Mabel.
Even when she was relevant she was always played up to be a borderline angelic figure who never did lasting harm and only ever did harm at all with the noblest of intentions.
Dipper took some hard knocks when he fucked up he grew and changed and became a better person, Mabel, not so much.
I asked this before but the thread 404'd so I didn't see an answer: does anyone know what these memes from Japanese social media are about? Are they supposed to be making fun of America for preferring its cartoons to anime? Or are the cheering people supposed to represent westaboos?
>>84099128
>>84098928
True, characters who are given excuses by the writers never get a chance to grow and change, and thus be interesting.
They sure were cute, though.
I have a question; did they ever show how Gideon found his Journal?
>>84099647
They were going to at one point but it got cut for time. I can't remember exactly how he found it, but it basically corrupted him and led to him becoming evil

>we never actually know what the unimaginable power is (or maybe it was one of Bill's lies? I dunno)

Some use it for protection and/or intimidation, but most of them just like collecting guns, sorta like how people keep trading cards and action figures.Not an American by the way, how close is my guess?
>>84099852
How is this even question? You don't have to be American to want own/use a gun you autistic fuck. People have their own reasons and just because you don't see any point in having one doesn't mean others shouldnt be allowed to. Some people live in dangerous neighborhoods, and carry for protection, while others own as a hobby for sport or hunting.

I like this video except for the fact that he called the series’s writing and animation good. No they’re not! Stop saying that, animation can be a hundred times better than this.
All that Family Guy posing is stale and boring.
And the writing? I can’t get over how much writerspeak the show uses. At least it’s funny sometimes.
>>84099852
The big issue is that Americans seem to love their guns.
People from/in other countries collect guns all the time, sure, but only Americans seem to actually and genuinely LOVE guns. They defend and praise guns, and the right to bear an armory-full of them, with the same amount of blind passion any other person would defend their own limbs.
>>84100026

>>84100055
Because it's part of our fundamental laws, and is essential to our history and liberty. Not only did guns give us the tools to carve out the great western expanse, it protected us for generations from those seeking to make this nation tyrannical. It gave us the tools as Americans to not simply be members of a nation, but the correction to that nation's overreach. The law isn't stated 'people should have guns because guns are good' it's 'people should have guns so as always to make the government know that its people can will and should depose you if you are too overreaching'. We did it in the Frontier days, we did it in Athens Tennessee, and we should do it again if it needs to happen.
>but you could never counter the government with rifles
That's why the list of acceptable weapons for citizens needs to be expanded. This isn't just a matter of fantasy, the people should always have the right to check with armed force the government. This is what the law was for, for OUR protection, not the government. If we commit crimes, yes, we should be punished, but as this is more than an arbitrary privilege big daddy government gave you but also the means to ensure our national stability, it is necessary. That is what authoritarians in this country don't want us to realize: A nation of 100 million intelligent armed citizens can and will have the power to easily bleed a tyrannical force in this nation for all its coffers. Perhaps in your nation you've enshrined a social contract of government and governed, but in the United States we are able to claim our own Mutually Assured Destruction with our government, to protect our liberties and ensure the due process of the law. And woe to any pearlclutcher or powergrabber who would wish to neuter us of that right.
The right to keep and bear arms protects all other rights, and no madman with a gun will be the spark to deny the 100 million good souls of the USA guns too.
>>84099852
Well it looks more like Alex Hirsch was just strawmanning the fuck out of that person.
>"Oh, you don't like gun control? You must support terrorists!"
Not to mention, he seems to just have completely butted in on an unrelated argument.

I'm not going to pretend to know for sure because I don't know a single damn thing about Japanese social media, but I'm guessing more the latter, it looks like their equivalent of any sort of "Why are you still watching x when y is so much better", except with us its usually anime over cartoons, and for them, it seems to be reversed because its a unique and fun cartoon while the anime its being compared to is moeblob/fujoshit trash. I've heard Gravity Falls is hugely popular in Japan.
Just what in the fuck happened with Gravity Falls during Season 2B?
>>84098005
Speaking of, WOY Finale >>>>>>>>> GF's finale
>>84100793
What happened? Nothing of course. Nothing after painful painful nothing.
>>84100793
Alex said "fuck it, I can't take this shit anymore." and then he did a half-assed job, rushing the story.
>>84100689
Intelligence has no factor into it, a right is a right.
>so you admit Americans are dumb
I admit a fundamental right is fundamental.
>>84100506
He was pointing out the hypocrisy of the rightwingers, they were completely fine with blacklists the first time but now it's completely bad and undemocratic and yadda yadda when it's about something they care about.
>>84100793
>what is the wheel
>oh it's actually the only way to banish Bill forever
>but some of them doesn't make sense
>well it doesn't have to be an actual connection
Even with that half-assed explanation the wheel ultimately managed to do fucking nothing since Stan fucked the whole thing up.
But to answer your question, the only big mystery we had was 'who was author' and 'Stan probably have a twin guys just look at the totems', both of which were answered in the same episode followed by another hiatus.
>>84099128
Those guys get used in a lot of reaction comics.
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/reaction-guys-gaijin-4koma
I think in your image, it's pointing out how rare beach/pool episode are in western animation compared to anime.
>>84100793

>He was pointing out the hypocrisy of the rightwingers
Please see: >>84098012
>>84100504
>the people should always have the right to check with armed force the government.
You know, a while back people tried rebelling against the government by armed force. They lost. It's known as the Whiskey Rebellion. And let's not forget about the civil war. Americans have never had the power to overthrow their government by force.
If that's why you think we need guns, that's laughable. Guns are tools. Tools that are sometimes necessitated by people's lives. That's the only reason we're allowed them.
Is this the same guy that did that Steven Universe "review"? The one where he talks shit about Amethyst?
>>84100925
How does that invalidate anything I said?
>>84100958
Yes. And Amethyst really need to sort her issues.
>>84100890
I really don't want to get drawn into debating the politics behind Alex's "argument", I'm pretty sure the political shit is why I never see a Gravity Falls thread last over 200 posts anymore (usually deletion), I'm focused more on the fact that he argues with trollish bait logic. If he was a right winger he'd be a Fox News pundit. It just shows he's unwilling to be the type of person who reasons with the other side and maintains a level head about such things. Instead he's screaming "RACISTS!!" and "HOMOPHOBES!!" and other things at people for liking a different political candidate. It ties more into the rumors that have been posted that Alex is terrible to work with, the awfulness of his personality as it comes off in social media is something that ties into this.
>>84100974
That pointing Alex pointing out hypocrisy rings pretty hollow when he himself is a hypocrite.
>>84100958
Yep
Tho iirc he said in the comments the was near perfection or something like that. Fag couldn't even stand for his own words.
>>84101012
she can still be perfect as a character, but awful as a person
>>84101004
I wish we could have Gravity Falls threads not 'Alex Hirsch's political opinions' threads. The people who keep complaining all the time and derailing threads are more annoying than Alex tweeting a bit.
>>84101012
>Fag couldn't even stand for his own words.
You do realize that the "This is basically" videos are supposed to be comedic in nature, right?
A 1½ minute video that is supposed to also pack in humor isn't going to accurately reflect anyone's opinion.
>>84101060
Well, not entirely true. Yes, seeing the same left vs right arguments is annoying. However, some of Alex's tweets are so outrageously bad (the foghorn sounds one for instance) that they really do deserve constant scorn and ridicule. When like 5% of his tweets are Gravity Falls related and the other 95% are him virtue signaling, its hard to get around.
>>84100939
>a rebellion failed therefore no one should have this right
What logic is this?
>And let's not forget the Civil War
Two nations that claimed sovereignty over military bases in the south that led to open conflict? Secession is different that what we're talking about
>Americans have never had the power to overthrow their government by force.
You seem to imagine that a right is only worth protecting if you can win without physical harm or the threat of losing. How many people have died to ensure freedoms in nations all over the world? If you are so unable to find principles willing to die over, I pity you.
>If that's why you think we need guns, that's laughable.
A desire to have the means to secure our liberties at all times is laughable? A government can be answerable to its citizens without guns sometimes, but how often have men who seek power not been so kept in check?
>Guns are tools
Tools of protection against oppressing force, be they criminal, corporate, or conventioned.
>That's the only reason we're allowed them
No one should 'allow' you to have rights. You as an individual are a sovereign being, and deserve inalienable rights that your governments respect as sacrosanct. Rights of mankind are not given to us by people, or by Gods, but by the nature of existence. They are the standard principle all of us are born with. Some are denied this right by others, but in a vacuum they deserve the respect of them. Call it a belief system if you must feel that that discredits it, but the sovereignty of the individual is what I will defend.
>>84101008
And that makes the right wingers any less hypocritical because....?
>why do you want to destroy freedom ?
>but you supported watchlists the first time
>no you see, that time we were PROTECTING freedom, we love freedom
The problem in this exchange isn't the libs supporting watchlists when is something they care about, they righties did the same a few years ago, the problem is that despite doing exactly the same one side still claims to be the "champions of freedom"
The dems build their discourse around equality and the reps around freedom, it's not the dems who betray their own principles when supporting blacklisting.
>>84101135
>However, some of Alex's tweets are so outrageously bad (the foghorn sounds one for instance) that they really do deserve constant scorn and ridicule.
Yeah but why do you need to do that here?
>>84090157

Based on his previous work, it's entirely possible.

Lets talk about how Wendy should have ended the love interest trope teen sooner.
And became a badass protector/older sister to the pines twins way earlier.
During later half of season 2 i'm glad they turned her from a nothing love interest into a older mentor badass. Would have done the show better if they did that in late half of season 1 instead
>>84100070
Honestly I can’t tell, seemed to me he still liked the show.

>>84101534
I totally agree, she was a thousand times better that way, ironically I might have actually shipped Wendip if it was always like that, Dipper spilling spaghetti was just boring, painful to watch but Wendy herself was pretty damn cool when they let her be. Wanted more of that.

Save the twins from a monster, make her dad proud, give Dipper a heart-to-heart "I'm a teen, it's not all that great. Enjoy being a kid, don't grow up too fast." mentor talk. Wanting to grow up was Dipper's character trait.

We use guns to pretend we can stand up to the government if they ever get out of hand.
It's not true of course but it's a narrative where I can be a hero maybe sometime in the future and I'll be damned if you take that away from me.

1. Fans like gijinka.
2. A lot of fan art is coming out of Japan and asia where gijinka of everything is standard operating procedure
3. Bill is a shapeshifter, he turns into Soos when he first appears, he could turn human if he wants so it's not like Zootopia gijinka, it could happen on the show
4. It might might sense for Bill to turn into an attractive human to manipulate people
5. Girls want to fuck Bill but only the weird ones actually want to fuck triangles

You romanticize firetubes in a way that's almost poetic in how tragically sad it is. Guns are guns. They don't make heroes out of people and they don't secure freedom. They're a tool for the sane and a crutch for the paranoid and insecure. War is outdated, revolutions are fantasy and you probably have a job you should be doing instead of waxing lyrical about rights like you're the only one who understands them. They're subjective anyway, just because you or a bunch of racist power hungry fucks a little under 300 years ago thought they were profound or inalieable doesn't make it true.
You've built a moral tower of ivory on a bed of sand and none of this has to do with cartoons. Faggot.

I've been opposed to the no fly list since it was introduced. It's *already*, in its current incarnation, curtailing important rights without due process.
Fuck off.
>>84101592
He liked the show a lot but more for its comedy episodes than the drama or mystery, and was pretty eh on S2B like everyone else was.
So This Is Basically isn't really showing his serious opinions unless he breaks character like with Mabel. It's just taking a piss out of the show.
>>84102001
>Have Dipper and Pacifica be a thing.
I like where this is going...
>>84102246
The person Hirsch was talking to didn't seem to agree with you (except when those lists are about guns).
>>84102224
>War is outdated
Are you actually retarded?
I missed Padippica week this year. Fuck.
>>84102282
Pacifica and Dipper were almost certainly going to be a cannon thing after the mansion episode.
Only reason why they didn't is for time I can only assume.
Go watch the mansion episode again. Its clearly set in stone
>>84102103
Wendy deserved better.
Americans have a fixation with guns because of our history of conquering an untamed wilderness full of natives and dangerous animals. That's what it boils down to.
>>84102371
Also that CG render is kind of creepy so here's a cute Wendy gif instead.
I think in general the staff were pretty bad at writing female characters and mostly just depicted them as stereotypes or plot devices.
>>84102371
source??
>>84102395
And also because it's written in the Bill of Rights which isn't even the original Constitution it's just something they slapped on to the Constitution which should never ever be changed or modified (unless it's modified by the Bill of Rights).
But fuck. The second amendment is about "a well regulated militia". What part of letting suspected terrorists or mentally ill people buy a gun screams "well regulated militia" to anyone?

We in America haven't had the power to overthrow the government for a long time, current military technology is way the fuck beyond any gun in existence. They'd instantly swat us down for good or ill.
But the American gun thing is cultural and emotional. People try to layer over their emotions with logic. People from other countries will never understand just like I don't understand Muslim women covering their hair.
That said, owning guns isn't bad, not as big a deal as people make it out to be, spree killings are still relatively rare, guns are a bigger problem in poor urban areas though.
But this is all fucking off-topic, let's talk about Journal 3 or something.

A quick tribute to the Wendy Corduroy. I wanted to make her as close as possible to the original, with the exception of materials, perhaps.
The character is fully animation ready and features a custom in 3ds Max rig.
Hope you like it!
"The character is fully animation ready"
Get to it 4chan

>"The character is fully animation ready"
Oh fuck yes, somebody please make it happen.
>>84102553
I have to point out that what you are saying in regards to the american peoples ability to resist its government is largely untrue. It has been shown that a determined populace, armed with only small arms, is entirely capable of resisting the might of even superpowers.
The real question is the American peoples will to resist, as Americans lack the hardy nature of peasant guerrillas and their ability to tolerate the high casualties this kind of resistance brings about.
>>84102224
>racist power hungry fucks
Aaaand you're not worth anyone's time.
>>84102353
Alex's GF was like Pacifica. They split, she regressed to a shitty villain that got shit on.
>>84102440
I really really wanted Tambry especially to get more development
>>84102660
The only time I remember that happening in recent times, with recent technology, is when a people's revolution was backed up by the actual military force that is ultimately indifferent to who is the leader because they were the country's power in the first place.
>>84099949
He has a point though. Guns are huge deal in america compare to a lot of countries. To many outsiders, the issue feels rather alien.
>>84102702
I don't think you realize how long the production of these episodes takes,
>>84102710
Afghanistan, the first Chechen war, the Viet Minh, Khmer Rouge and the Bolsheviks revolution are just the ones I can name off the top of my head.
Anyone else feel that we as Gravity Falls lovers should kill Alex Hirsch so that he may not besmirch its existence with his preaching? Better he die still somewhat loved than live to become the next Orson Scott Card.
>>84103198
"Recent times with recent technology" meaning less than fifty years ago.
>>84103198
RECENT times. With drone tech and current American planes, bombs, etc. It would be impossible without the military helping out. The only real possibility is extremely high casualities to the point the government has no support any longer. And people would have to be very united. Guns wouldn't be the deciding factor, but united public opinion could.
>>84102965
Considering the amount of time it took the whole show to finish its two-season-long run, I'd say there was plenty of time for rewrites. I mean, it's not as if the end product was that great; it doesn't seem like they employed their extra time well.
>>84103314

>>84103361
>>84103364
Technology has not changed as much as you seem to think it has, the toys are shinier but they don't fundamentally change the way this type of war is fought.
I should also point out that all but two of the examples I gave qualify your definition of "recent times" anyway.
>>84103490
Is this the Metal Gear thread?
>>84103545
War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefiled control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control.
>>84103490
>I should also point out that all but two of the examples I gave qualify your definition of "recent times" anyway.
Only if you're being very generous as to how long the Khmer Rouge were effective.
>Technology has not changed as much as you seem to think it has
Oh yes it fucking has are you kidding me.
We're at a point where actual involvement of human beings in the warzone is optional.
>>84103551
All this alternate universes and fancomics the fans make because the show never got as dark or plot-heavy as it advertised itself.
For all of its flaws, and there are tons of flaws, the SU fandom never needed this kind of stuff. Yet.
>>84102051
Because one of the staff drew an alt version of Bipper in the reverend costume with Babel in a nun outfit.
>>84102073
It's nothing new or unique to the GF fandom, humanizations have been around for near as long as humanity has been.

Maybe if you don't intend to win the war.
This is a very American attitude to warfare, this belief that advanced technology and abundant resources can adequately replace human endeavour and the shedding of blood. This currently remains a fantasy, as drones alone cannot win wars, you still need actual soldiers to hold territory and close with the enemy.
But all of this is academic as the American people don't have the willpower to withstand a long term guerrilla campaign fighting their own government. The US would need to become a seriously terrible place to live for that to happen.
How to fix Bill
>>84104168
That's easy. Bill should have turned the entire Pines family into his harem, satisfying a huge chunk of the fanbase both here and abroad. Alex let his fans down.
Throw in Pyronica and a revived Giffany making Wendy and Pacifica sex slaves too and everyone would have been happy.
>>84104494
what is this?
>>84090157
>>84090169
>The Mabel at the end of the series and the Mabel in the first episode are almost exactly the same.
Really though, you could say that about Dipper too.
>>84100806
True. But WOY was smart enough to not put up too many stakes it had to meet.
>>84099852
Its even weirder because they have an official militia and yet think a regular tosser on the street qualifies as a regulated militia
>>84102371
What's really sad is that with another season Wendy could have become a fleshed out character and Pacifica could have continued to grow.
>>84097353
Well he did make korgot of barbaria.
>>84100504
>'people should have guns so as always to make the government know that its people can will and should depose you if you are too overreaching'.
Actually its more " we need cheap militias cause the british taxpayers are kicking our ass."
Your personal freedom was never in question.
>>84092978
I just want Reverse Mabel to make Reverse Pacifica her pet. Is that really so bad?
>>84103619
I don't think the amount of AU has much to do with the presence or lack of mysteries so much as the actual content of the show. They set up a universe where, in theory, anything could happen, so there's a ton of room to play around.
SU fans just exercise this is differently by creating a billion terrible Donut Steel-tier Gem OCs.
Having no real discussion other than this political crap makes me really sad, watching Gravity Falls after it aired is one of my biggest regrets. I missed so many threads.
>>84090157
Could not agree more about Mabel. I regularly rant about this to my friends, even though the show's been over for months.
>>84106224
the only thing you "missed" was a metric shitton of incest
Here, have some new Giffany from pixiv.
>>84106042
I think with Reverse Falls at least it got popular because people wanted to fuck the Mabel, but then stayed popular because people could switch up their shipping dynamics.
Like Padippica? Well, what if instead of a sassy femdom-y Pacifica and awkward Dipper Dipper was a suave guy and a moe Pacifica had an akward crush on HIM? That kind of thing.
For Monster Falls and some of the others yours if definitely the reason though I think.
>>84093348
it's because bill is my fucking wife
>>84093348
japan is very confused and think that Bill is Keroro Gunsou
>>84107709
...or BETTER?
>>84107250
People complain that characters were pushed aside for bullshit, or that Bill was a wasted villain, but Giffany is the real tragedy of the show. An extremely attractive woman, who will go full yandere to protect you, while acting submissive at all other times. She can control devices, and travel through the Internet. Plus she's a computer program. It's the reason why Quorra from Tron Legacy is so attractive; not because it's Olivia Wilde, but because she doesn't really exist.also more Giffany pics please
>>84107752
maybe. If Gravity Falls had been made in Japan they would have made Bill the main character and would be shitting out manga and merchandise for 15-20 more years.
Super glad they at least did something for Wendys character.
>>84107802
Giffany did nothing wrong.
I'm not kidding. She really didn't.
Goodnight, sweet princess.
>>84107802
>>84106224
The show has really great fan art. Look for that. For fanfic you're mostly screwed unless you like incest and/or gay shit with a few notable exceptions. Discussions were mostly decoding shit. There.
>>84102601
Are her clothes removable as layers? I mean aside from wondering if they modeled real breasts and a bra or whatnot, it'd be nice to see her in the shirt
>>84107178
It was literally the only good pairing in the show
Wendy was inconsistent as hell, early on they played her way older than she actually was and later made it clearly its only a 2 year difference which is pretty small even in high school, freshman dated juniors all the time. It was like the writers were doing a "will they won't they" themselves with the writers not knowing if Dipper and Wendy was suppose to be a thing or not
Pacifica might have actually been a decent alternative if she had gotten a single episode after her redemption
Really that just left Pinecest to be the only actually reasonable ship left. also lets be honest /co/ is actually pretty pro incest
>>84108437
It probably didn't help that wasn't really any viable options to be found in the adultsthat weren't incesteither.
>>84108437
this is probably why non-incest fans either fell into a frenzy of crack pairings or desperately twisted Wendip to work or went ballistic when Pacifica vanished into thin air as soon as she actually became interesting
>>84108437
>Pinecest
A great ship.
Mabifica is good too.
Pinecest+Pacifica is best of all though.
>>84093348
>giant-breasted Pacifica

1) Family protection
2) Hunting dangerous or delicious animals
3) Keeping the king of England out of our faces
>>84096495
Man, I wish Alex Hirsch wouldn't do this this stuff. Remember back in season 1 when everyone practically worshipped him?
>>84101534
>Lets talk about how Wendy should have ended the love interest trope teen sooner.
They did that in Into the Bunker, but they had to dig up Wendip's Corpse back up for Roadside Attraction.
>>84102353
>Only reason why they didn't is for time I can only assume.
It's possible NWM was just Alex throwing a bone to the Pacificafags. Alex said he was very surprised at her popularity in his AMA, and there is a semiofficial crossword that had hints for the various characters, with Pacifica being described as a spoiled brat.

Dipper and Bill have the most longevity. Dipper because he's the best and Bill because i dont fucking know.
>>84109387
>It's called Pineswest.
Thats the name I always preferred but Pinescifica seems a lot more common.
I've heard Pacipines too.
>>84109397
>Bill because i dont fucking know.
Meme character and that's what memes do.
>>84104765
No, you really can't. He was a completely different character by the end of the first season, let alone second. He started off as a socially awkward coward to a sarcastic hero. Northwest Manor Mystery really shows off just how much he grew.
>>84107178
>the only thing you "missed" was a metric shitton of incest
I really do miss it sometimes /co/...
How many years did I spend on that general? Jesus.
>>84109785
Dipper still spills his sphagetti at the drop of a hat by the seasons end though.
Plus, physical courage was never really his problem. He was fighting gnomes and evil wax historical figures and doing crazy Manotaur bullshit within the first week of finding the journal, its just that he's kind of a wiener when it comes to dealing with other people.
So.
Did you do it, /co/?
He told you.
HE TOLD YOU!
Remember?
He is always right.
He knows everything.

It really depends on the market. The stupid thing is just conspiracy nuts assuming gold would be worth anything in case of an apocalypse. Sure you can use it for a few things but food, medicine, weapons would be worth a lot more at least for a while if civilization really totally fell apart.
