movies/tv Gravity Falls is over

[Chaton 3,766]

So, Weirdmageddon part three aired last night brining a close to Gravity Falls season 2, and the show itself. What did you all think of the finale? And what is your reaction to the fact that the show is finally over?

 

I for one am happy that they planned for it to only have two series and that they brought it to a proper close. Sure, I'd love for there to be another mini-series about Stanford and Stanley's adventures on the seas and maybe Dipper and Mabel coming back in a years time, but that won't happen.

Seconded... there's nothing worse than a show that outstays its welcome.

 

Gravity Falls is the Calvin and Hobbes of cartoons...

I don't understand that reference.

It was a great finale. I'm sad to see it go but at least it got to end before it went into decay.

Ja, definitely. I mean, I wouldn't mind the occasional mini-episode like 5-10 mins long with a couple of tiny things. But if the series went on, nah. I'd still watch it of course, but it would go to far.

Well, Calvin and Hobbes is a newspaper strip that was created in 1985, ran for ten years (with the cartoonist fighting to keep the rights to his own characters, so as not to allow the syndicators to exploit the popularity of the strip for commercial reasons) and ended in 1995, with the cartoonist Bill Watterson making the decision to end his own comic with a bang and not a whisper boop-boop. Thus "quitting while ahead" and not becoming a zombie franchise... as it were.

Oh. Okei.

 

That makes sense.

It does? 

 

I have to make my response sillier!

Don't bother trying to silly me

Forgot to mention that if there is some sort of continuation that I'd be interested. Like Stan and Ford's adventures in the arctic. I'd like to see that.

Like a mini series.

 

I would watch that.

I think finale was good.

It's sad that it ended but better that than getting bored to show that goes forever.

[Sunny Fox 5,953]

Hmm. In all seriousness...

 

*spoilered for those who might not have seen it yet*

 

 

I think they kind of undid some of the awesomeness of the finale by returning Gruncle Stan's memory (which should really have brought Bill back too, if you think about it). I guess Disney needed a happy ending, but I think bittersweet (a Gruncle Stan who saved the world, but had to give up his memories of the summer to do so) would have been a bitter better way to finish it.

In all honesty, I don't agree nor disagree with you. I would have been happy with that or the way it went. Though I do prefer the way it went, it meant the two could fulfil their childhood dreams.

I'm not glad to see Gravity Falls over, but it ended on a very high note. It's best to end a cartoon than have it run itself into the ground. A short, but amazing series is more fondly remembered than a series that was long, yet dragged itself on and on and on and on before dying. So I think it was a very good decision to have Gravity Falls end here; the finale was also a very fun and fulfilling episode. Although, I will agree, a short mini-series or a few silly clips to give an epilogue of some sorts would be a very fun idea to do that might tie up some loose ends. I'd also like to know what Dipper's real name is...

 

Well, onto new and grander things! I'm excited to see the next show Hirsch comes up with; i'm positive it'll be just as spectacular as Gravity Falls was.

It would be nice, wouldn't it.

I think we all do. Maybe some other time

It better be.

The show had a good run and ended in quite possibly the best way. I'll miss this show, but the ending makes me happy. It's funny how the show is only 2 seasons long when the show aired over the spam of nearly 4 years. I guess Disney saw how big of a fandom it had and purposely spread out the new episodes to make it feel longer.

I'm glad they did! They managed to time it all perfectly so that the fandom had time to spread their proverbial wings before ending it.

 

On the other hand, I really want to know what that anomoly was.

I am definitely going to miss Gravity Falls and it is nice to know that it's finale was a great episode that ended the show in the best way possible.

I think it was a nice finale.

I even cried...almost. :3

[Minepro 107]

I personally think Weirdmageddon 3 was a fantastic finale! One of the best endings to a series I've ever seen. I'm so glad as well that they didn't drag Gravity Falls on and make it boring to watch. Unlike a certain Cartoon Network show that I've heard terrible things about...

Not to mention there was practically no authorized merch for the strip. Watterson had some real integrity.

As sad as it may be to see it end, I'm very satisfied with the finale and wish Alex Hirsch luck at Fox.

[Unr3alGamer 230]

There have only been 2 series finales to TV shows that I would consider to be proper and satisfying conclusions to their shows (Breaking Bad and Avatar: The Last Airbender). Well, after last night, now it's 3: Gravity Falls.

 

It was immensely satisfying and incredibly heartfelt. Best possible way to end the series.

Yeah, I agree. The show had a damn good ending and a great run. Sad to see it go, but all good things need to come to an end.
