I love what Dipper has said. Sure, reality sometimes stinks. But there's a better way to get through it than stay in denial, and that's with help from people who care about you.
@@lightheart5 We know why now thanks to the Book of Bill. He's probably more mature about it because he witnessed something that really made him lose his innocence: his parents fighting. Probably even domestic. Dipper saying he scared to go back is probably due to that moment, if they come back home to see one of the parents isn't staying anymore. Edit: This could potentially be another reason for Dipper to take Ford's apprenticeship. He, like Mabel, wants to stay in Gravity Falls, though unlike Mabel who wants to stay out of fear of growing up, Dipper just doesn't want to go home in fear of his parents.
I love this scene. Because it shows how much Dipper and Mable care for each other. Like, yeah. Reality sucks but you can’t hide from it. Don’t let fear rule your life. Because there’s always gonna be someone out there who cares for you. Your parents, siblings, friends etc.
There was time a few years ago, where I thought modern cartoons were a letdown. But with shows like Gravity Falls teaching about growing up and overcoming fear, it shows that modern cartoons have definitely been making strides to not play it safe.
Sort of a vent, but also appreciation for this scene. I am currently thirteen, and watched this show very recently at the cusp of my thirteen birthday at twelve years old about two months ago. This show has really, really helped me out currently, as the line "you're are scared, of growing up" hit extremely hard. This scene specifically, has helped me even in the short time I have known this show. It made me really realize that other people, my age are probably also horrified at the thought of growing up, scared, wanting to crawl back to extreme hand holding and the simple comforts of childhood that are slowly being ripped away yet still there even if it feels like everything is going too fast, maybe there is still time if I let go of the worry, the distractions, the fantasy created in my head to hold me back, and instead embrace the countless time I have left of being a child, and getting to learn life.
Tbh that's the message of the episode. And what Dipper said in the court is what she needed to hear before weirdmageddon after he returned with Ford. Am I right?
There is no way Alex is this good at remembering details. In the first episode, Dipper's hat was brown and had a star on it. And somehow, Alex remembered that slight detail that basically nobody remembers, and adds it to the flashbacks. Damn Alex.
Dipper wears that hat that long because he beliefs it's a lucky hat.He doesn't wash it because that would '' wash away the luck'' or something.That's in the journal and it makes me crack up everytime I read it.
Yeah Mabel is a good sister to Dipper. She loves him deeply. She told him he can take the apprenticeship meaning that she realized that many people who care about her will support her. She is not some sort of a spoiled child or malevolent,is she?
@@izachi-chan2432 Same, pal. It is really irritating to see people hate on her and talk about her like she literally did nothing to help or support Dipper especially that so-called she never returned the favor. Especially one of them literally replied to me about how terribly written she is which annoyed me so much
@@duduamrosh I mean I can't lie I feel like Mabel could've probably been written better but she ain't terribly written imo and she doesn't ruin the show like people say. Mabel isn't that bad (she isn't even bad) lol but you're saying that already-
This episode is pretty sad for someone like me that lives in imagination. You don’t want to move on from the thing you love but it’ll happen anyway. And you don’t want to grow up because change is scary. But you have people around that love and care for you and if your relationships with them are strong enough they’ll always be around to help you. Awkward sibling hug! Pat! Pat!
@@jada5849 Stan didn't draw a birthmark on Dipper......the closest to that is when he wrote "goober" on Dipper's forehead, he got that birthmark when he was....born
Yeah, but they were just doing a small scene. If they had her do that, it would’ve been really out of character and I feel like they’d need to do some sort of explanation or something. It’d just be really out of place for what’s supposed to be a small scene to show events that had happened in the past that were hard for them.
Honestly their best sibling moment ever I would say, showing them before the show making us see they always had each other even when they were younger, cheering each other up when al looked lost. Dipper doesn't hesitate one second to use the razor, neither does Mabel. Mabel easily finds where Dipper went, and used all the valentine cards she got for him, showing she cares more about her brother than any guy she would like. My heart.
Yes!!! This comment of yours shows how you focused on their relationship instead of just calling them toxic!! Also about the valentine part : I get seriously sick of someone who said "giving valentine cards are not supportive after allowing her classmates to mock him". Well we shouldn't take the likes of that person seriously because they obviously looking for attention. She is a good sister to Dipper saying that she never supported him nor sacrificed for him, is a huge bias against her!
Mabel really needs to wake up. This is both figuratively and literally. Some of her actions (relentlessly pursuing boys in spite of what Dipper said) have had consequences for Dipper (whether direct or not), and she was somewhat unfair to him in a few cases (Carpet Diem, Sock Puppet, Dipper & Mabel vs Reality). I can understand why people would defend Mabel in some cases, but to me, she needs to see that life's not always going to go the way she wants things to. I'm still pretty bummed the show didn't really dive into that more than it should have.
@@digstrememcdingus1463 Yeah, she does, even after the Mermando incident she admits she's being pretty unfair with Dipper in the journal, and after the Sock Opera reallizes she was being a huge jerk to him. The problem is that even if she does reallize her mistakes, she doesn't try to get better, and ends up repeating the same mistakes from before right after those lessons, and in the end, she always gets her way by making Dipper make huge sacrifices for her, sacrifices she's never willing to do in return.
@@jammail5425 Yes and no: yes, the comic finally calls her out for her actions and makes her reallize of everything she did wrong by being forced to deal with herself by being stucked because of her own selfish attitude, and she does apologize for her mistakes, the only bad thing is we never see her behaving better after that. But I have to agree I loved that story, my only complain is that it should have been in the tv series, it would have made it SO much better.
@@dracoangelrojo That comic couldn't be incorporated into the TV show, because it took place AFTER season 2. That whole comic adventure happened because the Pines family was trying to seal any other riffs leftover from Weirdmaggedon.
I didnt notice until now, Dippers "Yes. Definitely. Absolutely!" Is a reference to the first episode when he read mabels rigged dating thing out loud. So much attention to detail!!!
The 2 guys actually showed a perfect representation of the United States Justice System. The prosecutors leave out details that could help someone be proven innocent, despite knowing the truth. They know the person is innocent, but they continue to twist words and information to their advantage, so that they get paid. This needs to be put to an end.
Her wanting to live out a fantasy is actually understandable. Most people are more upset that Dipper gave up something so important to him in the end while Mabel didn't show any sign of guilt for indirectly causing Weirdmaggedon and basically abandoning her friends and family in reality.
After Dipper gave the speech, she realized that not only her brother will support her but people who are close to her as well and that's why she told him he can take Ford's apprenticeship
@@urphakeandgey6308 FINALLY! SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS! Cus of course the girl NEVER gets punished or called out on HER bullshit! It’s always the guy that has to suffer while the girl gets off scotfree!
I don't get why. She's 12, a child. What kid, heck, what adult wouldn't be pulled in by a world like this? Also it's heavily implied that it was warping her senses, as after she hugs Dipper she says everything is so bright and asked what had gotten into her.
Those good memories gave me idea of asking you to comment about bad moments your siblings got in, but then you helped them, because you love each other ❤️.
I woulda beat up the kids that did those horrible things. Besides, once Mabel and Dipper show the photos to the kids in their new school that they saved the world. Can't wait 'till the bullies who made reality horrible go in a corner crying.
Other kids : Dipstick! Dipstick! Dipstick! Dipstick! Dipstick! Me: *slaps the other kids round the faces* QUIT CALLING HIM A DIPSTICK!!! *Gives Dipper multiple Valentines cos noone else did*
I think this is the lesson of this chapther: I don't know what's gonna happen in the future, but whatever it is you don't have to fear because we'll do it together. I'm not taking Ford's apprenticeship we've travelled to heck and back to get you and we're going back together. Leave this fantasy world let's beat Bill and grow up together
4:10 OMG!!!!!!!!!!! FORESHADOW!!!!!!!!!!! "yes, definitely, absolutely" FIRST EPISODE: mabel gives a guy a note, it says: do u like me: o yes o definitely, absolutely"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;O
Watching the show, there are a lot of things that could have been solved if they used more than just 10% of their brain The time travel episode ended with Dipper missing his shot so that Mable can have Waddles but why doesn't she get Waddles before Dipper needs her help (You're telling me they didn't come up with this in 1 month)
That reminds me of The Lion King. “The past can hurt. But the way I see it you can either run from it, or… learn from it!” That and Gravity Falls are amazing cartoons with the best lessons about life 💙
Life can be a living Hell sometimes, But sometimes It isn't. We may Fight, Argue, Disrespect, Lie, Hate, You name it All, but we still have Hope, Care, Understanding, Faith, Unity, Love, Joy, Family & Friends! We are Not alone, no one or anyone deserves to be alone no matter what happens to them or others. Peace & Love Bros✌
As someone who has had both gum been put in my hair and no Valentines given to me on Valentine's day, this hit me so hard. Also, younger Dipper's voice is precious. And Mabel's. Both of them are beautiful. This scene leaks of wholesomeness. This show is amazing.
I Think that time Mabel was POSSESED BY BILL! during the episode we can see that dipper is getting visions of nightmarish versions of the things in her reality speaking to him in English', but in a nightmarish tone. I Think you can see where I'm going with this, if Mabel can control her reality, and has visions like that happening in dippers point of view, THAT MEANS THAT MABEL ISNT ACTUALLY MABEL, Its bill.. taunting dipper by giving him nightmarish visions, FACT: When Mabel and dipper finish their hug Mabel ACTUALLY Is noticing the annoyance of her actions, but not before. THATS BECAUSE SHE WAS POSSESED BY BILL! Giving dipper taunts in order to keep him in the nightmarish world... FOR-EV-ER!
Yeah God has blessed Dipper with a kind-hearted and caring sister like Mabel. And blessed Mabel with a selfless and supportive brother like Dipper. They are both good siblings.
To be honest, I have never hold a grudge against Mabel or thought she was bad that she forced him to reject the apprenticeship. I thought to myself that Dipper himself rejected it as he loves Mabel deeply and prefer to grow up with her and while she thought he rejected for her, she realized that not only her brother will support but people who care about her as well and she wouldn't be alone even if her brother is not with her that's why she told him to take the apprenticeship and that's the sign of maturity. This is my opinion and I want replies as soon as possible to make sure if someone agrees or disagrees with me and explain the reason.
@@ClaudetteVioletta Ikr She may sometimes has selfish moments but she is really a good sister to Dipper. Like Dipper she also learns and grew as a character. Just like what I said above. People who hate on her just gets blind by their hatred to her and look for any reason (especially trivial ones) to justify their hatred. It is really irritating, isn't it? Honestly I am really happy to find someone who understands like you 😭
I wish that bill captured Dipper in a prison bubble. Mabel and the others goes in the bubble to save Dipper. As they entered the bubble, they hear disco girl and and all the things Dipper loves. They saw lots of wendys, journals, statues of ford, seeing Dipper run the place, and meeting mabel fresh. Mabel doesn't trust anything in dipper land seeing that Bill is trying to do a sick trick.
Ikr That bubble prison tempts anyone making them careless about what was going on outside it. It is obvious how Mabel wondered what happened. Bill knew vey well that Mabel is optimistic. If he had made it a living hell instead of a paradise, Mabel would absolutely do anything to get out of it and go rescue her friends and her family. Making her fear of being not supported stand in her way. She just needed a cheering up, she realized that not only her brother will support her but a lot of people who are close to her as well that's why she told him he can take the apprenticeship meaning that she grew as a character. Do you agree?
Did you forget that it was literally Mabel who fulfilled his dream to meet the author? If she had listened to Dipper and pressed the button, Ford would have been stuck in that dimension forever and Stan never would have been able to make up with his brother. Also, she was willing to give him the key to the room, realized in the puppet show episode how selfless Dipper is and saved him from Bill, etc. It's a bit delusional to throw so much hate on her
@@Anonym-kl9vf at the same time we learned from Journal 3 that Ford was right about to defeat Bill when the portal opened. If the portal never opened, Weirdmaggedon would never have happened, but at the same time Ford would never have been able to return
My brother and I are like this we relate to Gravity Falls so much I would have Mabel's fantasy world and my brother, of course, would be Dipper he's focused on those types of mysteries we even called are self Mystery Twins before we watched the show. We love Gravity Falls so much!
I'm glad Dipper didn't kill Dippy Fresh. Even if you view Dippy Fresh as an antagonist, he did nothing Bill Cipher-y enough to deserve Dipper murdering him, and that would have gone against Dipper's character in this part of the same episode because it also doesn't make a good case for how supportive Dipper can be of Mabel if he killed a clone Mabel created to be a supportive backup Dipper. July 15, 2018, 2:17pm
Mabel created dippy Fresh due to of her fear of being not supported and being angry at dipper thinking that he forgot all support she gave him and that dippy Fresh was no different than fake Wendy
