It feels like an eternity, but I'm glad they're dedicated to quality control. Thank god for the shorts though!

I agree these episodes weren't as "funny" and I missed the laugh-a-minute of some of the other episodes, but they were still incredibly strong and I think set a superb opening for season 2, which I'm sure will have many episodes with different tones, just like Season 1.

I think Disney really does want to keep it, because this show must be funded to the loving hilt. The animation in Gravity Falls is feature animation quality. Not necessarily Disney feature animation quality, e.g. Princess and the Frog, but it's absolutely comparable to feature animation that has come out of other studios.

Mercury Hat posted:Overall I liked the episode, and I liked that Melody wasn't some hot woman who inexplicably liked Soos's immature ways (like the woman in any Adam sandler movie). I appreciated that as well. Melody seems to be a compatible kind of person with Soos, someone who loves whimsy and can really get behind a job that most people think isn't important.

Dipper V. Manliness is my least favorite episode also. It works to be that Giffany is one-dimensional because her entire point was "REAL women are awful and unpredictable and gross, so date an ideal!" (I forget the line but she says almost exactly that) and she's abundantly wrong about it and that's an evil point of view. In a way, Giffany isn't really a female character, and she's even trying to exempt herself from that category.

I don't like it when a property that is oriented towards children [i]stops[i] being for them and becomes for adults (especially if people see that as the "logical" outcome of a kid's media property being high-quality). However, I think Gravity Falls has been pretty consistent about who it is for, with the exception of the last episode, which I liked but I think was far more strongly oriented at an adult audience than usual. Kids like this sort of thing, and it's been popular with kids, so I think it's doing a good job.

Not to mention it's the mascot of OSU, and the official state nickname is the "Beaver state". Sorry that among some people it immediately means "vagina", in Oregon and in reference to Oregon it usually refers to an animal known as the "beaver" which was its original economic foundation due to hunting and trapping.

Adventure Time has very good animation, but Gravity Falls' is almost impossibly good, almost a prestige product. It's cinema-quality. Sure, not Disney cinema quality, but easily on part with other legitimate productions.

You can tell that was a composition decision. The composition on the shots is always really loving crazy good. Look at how it leads you from pointing Dipper (why's he pointing?) the footprint (that's why!) to Stan (how's he feel about this?) to the larger toes (oh my gosh, it's another footprint!)

I guess it also felt odd because they'd just done a lot of short films (between-season) which were all really good and felt tighter. However, "Nooo, where's the heaaart?!" is one of my favorite lines from the show.

As a proportion of total cast, I don't think it's that bad, and it's getting better. You definitely don't want to go by the real numbers--the USA is 72% white in total, with Oregon at 83%, and even higher in rural areas. That said, it's not unreasonable to assume you're going to have fewer black characters in Gravity Falls than you would in Sesame Street. Blubs, Candy, Tambry, Rich, Soos, recurring bouncer, Lolph, Reginald, and various background models represent more diversity than actual rural Oregon, but it would be nice to see it revised upwards or for those characters to get more attention. The demographics are also a little affected by the main three characters being related, and given that it's based on Hirsch and his family, very possibly Jewish. If you look at not even totally rural Oregon, like Burns or Myrtle Creek, you're talking 92%+ white with the rest almost entirely native American and Hispanic. I don't know if we have any NA characters yet, do we? That one actually feels pretty conspicuous. Pick fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Oct 11, 2014 |

 By the way, the other "important tubes" were labeled Preston Northwest Memories and Jeffrey Cannock Memories. There's one for Mrs. Gleeful and one for Pacifica in one of the random piles. Pick fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Oct 28, 2014 |

I was really impressed how this episode seemed like it would be a by-the-book tournament episode, but actually the "tournament" is like two minutes and the rest is excellent character development.

The more I think about it, season 2 has had some of the highest highs and most boring lows (and in my mind, "boring" is the low for GF). I think Blendin's Game was about as good as it gets, Sock Opera as well, but the non-canon chapter episode was a bit dull. I'd still put Love God above that.
