![]() ![]() This motivates Gideon to be a constant nuisance to Grunkle Stan, as well as his niece and nephew. Although this isn't the last time the Pines family has to deal with him, it does establish the character's personality. As Mabel points out, he's more concerned with his interests than spending time with his sister.Īccordingly, it isn't until Dipper becomes more attuned to Mabel's feelings and what she wants that the twins are able to strip Gideon of his magical amulet. Though not as contriving like Gideon, he is still selfish. Unfortunately, it's also apparent that Dipper is guilty of some of the same issues. Through his attempts at connecting with her, the show exposes Gideon as a manipulative schemer who's self-absorbed. This isn't the first time that "Gravity Falls" has been wronged by corporate structure: when the series ended in 2016, Hirsch was also in talks about a possible feature film with the characters, which ultimately fell through when Disney decided that the show wasn't popular enough (via The Mary Sue).When viewers first meet Gideon Gleeful, he's shown taking a liking to Mabel Pines. Because I don't own 'Gravity Falls,' it's up to Disney to decide what they do with that IP, and they don't seem super savvy about video games right now." This is one of the things where I regret that I don't own 'Gravity Falls.' Cause if I did, I would pair up with a sick indie studio and make the world's greatest 'Gravity Falls' game. "I've never had the chance to really get my hands in a video game space for these characters. And it doesn't help that the company has all but shuttered its interactive department. Hirsch explained that ultimately it's not up to him. Standing in the way of that is the issue of rights and corporate decision-making, since "Gravity Falls" remains Disney's IP. The question is, would Hirsch be up for more? The world presented in "Gravity Falls" is so much bigger and weirder than the two seasons could possibly cover, which means the window is still open for a return. But that doesn't mean that all hope is lost. To his credit, Hirsch has gotten pretty funny with his responses, though maintains that the goal was to wrap up the mystery and the two-season arc got that done. If you think that stopped fans from pestering him (for an entire decade) about whether or not the show would return, then think again. But I wanted 'Gravity Falls' to have a mystery that had a real answer, an adventure that had a real climax, and an ending that had a real conclusion for the characters I care so much about. There are so many shows that go on endlessly until they lose their original spark, or mysteries that are canceled before they ever get a chance to payoff. "I always designed 'Gravity Falls' to be a finite series about one epic summer - a series with a beginning, middle, and end. But sadly, the show only actually ran for two seasons before coming to a close. Though aimed at kids, "Gravity Falls" had no trouble winning over older teens and adults as the mysteries behind its plot were slowly revealed. Ya know, typical cartoon summer vacation stuff.īetween that killer premise and the show's penchant for balancing sci-fi, mystery, and child-appropriate horror with a hilarious sense of humor, it's no surprise that love for this show continues to persist a decade after it first arrived. ![]() And when I say hijinks, I'm not just talking about the drama of first crushes and new friendships - these two quickly uncover a number of paranormal threats and complicated conspiracies that eventually culminate in a mission to save the world from a terrifying inter-dimensional being. Both together and apart, they get up to all sorts of hijinks throughout the summer, befriending a number of quirky residents along the way. ![]() ![]() The premise of "Gravity Falls" is simple enough: 12-year-old Dipper is an adventurer at heart, always searching for a mystery to solve, and Mabel is a hyperactive optimist with her own brand of fearless curiosity. ![]()
