The most overrated cartoon of the past 20 years, possibly ever
To this day no one discusses what’s good about it, just nostalgia and then wanting to coin to the characters
>The most overrated cartoon of the past 20 years
That's Steven Universe.
GF had great writing, amazing voiceacting, solid artstyle, becautifull backfround art...
But the strongest part were the characters
>GF had great writing, amazing voiceacting, solid artstyle, becautifull backfround art...
OHNONONONONO HAHAHAHAHAHAA
I do not hear SU be described as the end all be all of tv animation the way this show is
I do not hear SU brought up 24/7 like it's the only thing to ever exist
>I do not hear SU brought up 24/7 like it's the only thing to ever exist
Be glad then
I've never seen Steven Universe mentioned outside of art/animation circles whereas I see Gravity Falls pop up in mainstream spaces.
I think there are two sides to the success of Gravity Falls, the first is the one we all know because the lore, the mysteries, the shipping etc are the reasons it's successful in art circles, whereas having a basic relatable normalgay premise like "kids on summer vacation" is the reason it's a hit with normalgays far more than most other cartoons which go for more imaginative but abstract concepts. Combine that with the mean spirited derisive humor normalgays fell in love with in the 2010s and it's no wonder it's the most widely talked about one.
Adventure Time is also popular in normie circles, but that's largely due to the quirky "kids picture book but drawn by kids" vibe rather than being relatable.
i would agree with you if adventure time didnt exist
FPBO, I liked but UI think is the good as people says. it just came out in the right moment, when people was tired of mediocre cartoons
What show's UI?
Actually it was a show for zoomers, it's hard for a grown man to find it really intersting.
I was 14 when the last episode was released, back then I really enjoyed that show, now i fill nostalgic about it.
>Actually it was a show for zoomers
Hah, so false you're funny. I know plenty of millennials and xennials that absolutely love this show. I was not even aware that it was popular with zoomers. But hey, good quality is enjoyable to all ages, and this show had great quality.
Even with the ending being a bit rushed, it is still a truly excellent cartoon.
GF was one of the few cartoons that was actually consistently funny. Sure the mystery was cucked but it's still a great sitcom/pulp parody with good characters
Humor doesn't translate to popularity
Literally destroyed western animation permanently without even being a competent show on its own
>lives rent free in haters mind.
>Gravity Falls is 10 years old
>there are legal adults who have childhood nostalgia for GF
Welp.
Mostly for porn.
>The most overrated cartoon of the past 20 years, possibly ever
That's Avatar. Reminder that overrated doesn't mean bad.
>even if the ending was a little rushed.
only a little?
The show sucked. Only good episode was the manotaurs
Why is that anon…
REMINDER ALEX HIRSCH RAPED DANA BECAUSE HE WAS ANGRY SHE CHEATED AND WHEN HE WAS DOING IT SHE LAUGHED AND MADE FUN OF HIS PENIS.
implying he's strong enough to rape a woman
made for corruption
I remember when this was airing Cinemaphile loved it. Only got around to watching it in 2021 and liked it too. Then I find out everyone turned on it, kek.
>Everyone turned on it
What? I only hear people say it’s good online everywhere still.
>Cinemaphile hates things that are popular
That's just how it goes.
frick off, Cinemaphile was all over this shit when it was airing but it just happens to have ZERO rewatch value
every fricking mystery went nowhere and was lackluster
Characters were entertaining.
You don’t rewatch for the mystery but the comedy and the characters.
both are shit
kys coomer
Seethe
Dipper "Packing" Pines
I can't think of a more boring show that got more undeserved praise
even when the show was airing everyone cared more about the edgy twins AU or Dipper getting fricked in the ass by a tumblr sexyman
To this day I don't understand what people are praising it for
Nostalgia, sure, but no one mentions anything else
That’s just that one Daria AU except less interesting
Gravity Falls receives praise because it is paced solidly. Very few shows have actual pacing, and I am not talking about "technical" or what the audience thinks is pacing, "pacing" in this instance means solid foundational timing. Gravity Falls has mediocre writing, mediocre plot, and mediocre jokes - But its pacing is great, and since the pacing of a show outweighs any other importance that you could have to your media, Gravity Falls is a good show because of it. Amphibia after S1, Owl House, Star Vs after S1, Steven Universe after S1, Infinity Train - They all have bad pacing. Their stories can be superior, their characters can be better, their jokes can be funnier. But if the pacing is bad, the show falls from grace, and over time, noone cares.
Gravity Falls succeeds because of this "pacing".
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the show but it does have better pacing than a lot of the shows in the last ten years. But I disagree about that being the reason for its success, Molly McGee is very tightly and professionally paced but no one gives a shit about it.
>in this instance means solid foundational timing
Can you elaborate in this.
finally a good take on this
A cartoon (or any show) doesn't have to be a 10/10 to be good. Gravity falls is a comfortable 7/10 that everyone likes.
I watched the show and found myself occasionally laughing. The more I watched the more I got engrossed in the plot, and the characters. It was cool when Bill showed up, there was actual tension and I was invested. Then it ended. I had a good time. I'm sure everyone else did too. It wasn't perfect, the ending was literally a duex ex machina. But, All of the shows you watch are going to be flawed in some way or manner. Nothing that's particularly interesting isn't flawed, a show's got to take risks to succeed. As long as you are entertained and enjoy watching a television show then it has succeeded, it doesn't have to be Shakespeare.
The plot is well paced- seriously, all it takes for a show to be successful is to have good pacing and be somewhat original that's literally the most important thing to holding someone's attention. The humor is fast paced and morbid enough to get laughs out of even adults occasionally. The characters are distinct and well written enough to the point of where I was somewhat watching the show to see how the characters would react to the situation. I like how the characters in gravity falls are not reactive, but active and typically push the plot themselves- it makes them more interesting. You could take them from gravity falls and put them anywhere else and people would still be interested. Not a lot of shows pull this off well or at all.
>that everyone likes
stop forcing your shit opnion on other people
it's hot garbage and I regret ever watching it
I remember the incest shipping starting before the first episode even dropped. It was a fun ride on the internet even if the near end of the shows life wasn't so great in my opinion.
I remember freaking out from excitement when I first saw this
cringe
He was probably like 12 give him a break
I was a kid
Yes I was. Is everyone here 30?
your shitty kid opinion don't need a space on a forum for adults, why the frick should I care about what 10 year old you thought about a cartoon?
you were nothing but a kid with no taste in anything
Imagine being this autistic and being prideful about it. You're fricking hilarious dude
>WHat was your favorite memory?
Maybe don't step into threads you don't like, and maybe don't watch shows that cater to children if you hate them, you stupid neet.
so your favorite memory is watching a fricking trailer? you're the fricking moron here
Yeah! One of my favorite memories is watching the trailer. You can have more than one favorite, neet subhuman vile trash.
For me it's the intro that got me excited, it was one of the first things they revealed before the premiere and the show garnered a lot of interest because the intro was that good.
Too bad that the show could never live up to it.
Fixin’ it with Soos was a masterpiece!
If you mean in terms of underage porn material sure
Kinda wish Alex went for 3 seasons. It would've been less rushed.
there have to be hundreds of porn pictures but the autists here always post the same 5, truly amazing
You post some then.
How this show became popular with only like 5 episodes a year will always be a mystery to me.
It had a normal schedule until it was pushed to Disney XD where they milked it dry.
God I fricking hate you freaks and your weird fetish threads and your stupid seething about a creator being left wingand your fricking awful threads giving opinions on real life matters that, ironically, are the opinions that actual fricking 10 year olds make. You all need to die a painful fricking death.
leave if you don't like it
Hawt sauce plz?
I miss her so bad bros.
Me too
>Thumbs up
This show easily could have had a season 3 to flesh out more characters (Especially Ford) and set up the ending better so it wasn't rushed. Unfortunately Hirsch got burned out since Season 1 and wanted to end it.
i didn't connect with the characters, neither was a fan of the comedy style or human designs
She needs her own spin-off.
>WHat was your favorite memory?
My what what?
Post best bigdad paz.
WOW such very useful ADULT discussion here
>10 year anniversary
I liked the occasional good jokes from season 1 that were probably provided by the brothers chaps and that's it. Everything else has aged like milk.
Oh, I forgot about the bill cipher hunt, that provided a lot of laughs so that's a good memory as well.
10 year anniversary of a show that launched a new fetish on Cinemaphile: men with great character development
Superior taste
Relax guys, the anniversary is still five days away.
10 years already huh? Weird.
Would have been truly great if it had stuck to an episodic "treehouse x-files" format instead of doing the moronic millenial-zoomer serialization bullshit.
As it stands, the only thing about GF that matters (like most other cartoons of the last 20 years) is its waifu bait.
There's really not much else about it that's memorable like PPG, Dexter's Lab, EEnE, or OTGW. I feel sorry for anyone who's a fan of the show. It could have been so much better and more memorable.
>Would have been truly great if it had stuck to an episodic "treehouse x-files" format instead of doing the moronic millenial-zoomer serialization bullshit.
Gravity Falls is pretty episodic, with a few plot points carrying over from certain episodes into the next. Never watched X-Files, so how is that show written that would have been better for GF to do?
>There's really not much else about it that's memorable
>"Tourist Trapped": June 15, 2012
Huh? It's June 10th. Still 5 more days to the anniversary
>WHat was your favorite memory?
I only started watching it a month ago, and my favorite memory is still the same favorite that I had before watching the anime.
Wendy porn.
Let's consider the Disney remake movie. What would be the best people to pair up with Pacifica and Wendy from Disney's perspective? Something to top the bugged rat. I think for Pacifica, maybe a black guy would be enough but Wendy needs to be deconstructed further. Let's imagine!
Is dipper the black guy?
No? The sheriff fricks her in front of Dipper.
I only remember watching parts of episodes now and then when I was flipping channels. Until I binged it on Disney plus last year, I don't think I'd seen a single episode all the way through. I do remember really liking the parts of the candy demon episode, and the episode with the street fighter character was hilarious.
Now that I'm older and have seen the show in its entirety, it's alright but is a little overrated.
kino
No, now bring me Pacifica so i can creampie on her rich fat breasts.
God i feel old.
