One does not simply LEARN Gravity Falls lore. Gravity Falls can't just be taught, it needs to be EXPERIENCED to truly get the brilliance of storytelling in modern Western animation.
Amen
👍
Just because one knows the Lore of the series, doesn't mean they Know the series. It needs to be watched like it's in a cinema. With popcorn, notebooks and pens. Lots and lots of pens.
@@cesarv7685 Preferably with not toxic ink for...reasons.
I agree
The real question at this point is why hasn’t Patterz seen any of these top quality shows
Not his generation I guess
@@Ashton_23 or maybe because he didn't make time to watch them.
Probably too busy to catch up or keep track.

@@Ashton_23this ducker doesn’t watch this shit cuz he watches anime
This summary only really gives you like 1/8th of Gravity Falls.
It gives you the broad overarching story, but like it BARELY even mentions major characters, like Wendy and Soos.
It tells you what happens, but you completely miss out on the insane journey.
And like the way you think about Stan and Ford is wildly skewed by being unfamiliar with the characters.
That's how all Frederator timelines are, they give a broad overview of the plot without delving into them much
@xxtheyoloswagkingxx yeah, because it's a TIMELINE, not an overview or retrospective.
@BlueBerry20071 I mean, yeah, but all the things they mention are pretty surface level. Sometimes, other things that you may have to know a but much about the series that are also pretty important are skipped over. Not a complaint or criticism or anything, just an observation.
The summary skipping Sock Opera made me go 'you're kidding me, that is legitimately one of the more important episodes'
What i dont like about this video is didnt mention that Stans dad said he can't return home UNLESS he brings them millions dollars. That's why he is so obsessed with money.
And pushing Ford in the portal was a legit accident. Ford is REALLY arrogant and wanted to kick both the kids and Stan out the second he returned.
And he didn't make the mystery shack initially to "scam" he made it so he could pay for the equipment to bring Ford back.
Ford didn't want to kick the kids he only wanted Stan out. He was angry because he spend 30 years in another dimension you just want to hate Ford.
He wasn't arrogant, not even a little bit, he was understandably mad at what his brother had done and trapping him in an alternate dimension for all his life and having to survive alone, all because Stand couldn't control his impulses, and that was also his lab and house that was turned into a tourist trap without his consent, and Stand was being REALLY childish about it too with the whole "I'm not going to grab your hand and safe the universe unless I get my way" thing... really goes to show he hadn't grown a bit, only trying to undo what he did.
I don't think that's very fair on Ford. To be very fair, Stan DID ruin his future because he let his emotions control him and damage what would've gotten Ford into a great school to help later provide for their family, INCLUDING Stan. As for the kicking out thing, I mean, like the other commenter said, he literally got shoved into the portal by his brother, and if you read the official journal 3, it explains that Ford was literally seconds away from destroying Bill cipher FOR GOOD whenever Stan opened the portal up and forcefully pulled him back into their dimension. So, yeah, he's gonna be a little pissed. They're both fantastic characters who just both made stupid mistakes
Im curious by what you mean when you say ruin his future because Ford went on to get 10 PhD's, was a respected researcher, had a house, and a successful career while Stan was in and out of jail to make money and barely getting by? @TurtleReefReal
This guy saying Stan is a jerk broke me why he spent 30 years to save his brother who then hated and then sacrifices himself to save everything
Stan was the reason why that happened tho.
@@skylerloggins4902 not exactly if Ford let him burn the journal it would have never happened
"They're the kids of Stan and Ford's younger brother...."
Pat not even a minute later "HOW ARE THEY RELATED, ARE THEY ADOPTED!?!"
Idk, maybe if you paid attention lol
Fr lol that annoyed me a little bit
How have you not seen Gravity Falls? It's one of the best animated shows in a solid decade from Disney.
I haven't seen any modern cartoons really
@@MorePatterrzYou need to catch up man
@@MorePatterrz Amphibia Lore is worth the look.
@@MorePatterrz you should, it's the most horror Disney can create and i love Alex Hirsch for it
@@MorePatterrzthis ended almost a decade ago 😭
This man would rather watch a recap then be surprised and entertained by a masterpiece of a show
Yeah, it's really disappointing seeing all the plot twists and surprises spoiled for him if he ever decided to give the show a chance
I dont understand why anyone would willingly do this.
some people might not have the time or attention span to consume a multi-season show.
He said he prefers to watch anime
@kris.krisis *sigh* weebs
I will say that the “Stan not doing the important thing because he didn’t get a thank you” bit is a bit more complicated then the timeline video could explain, it basically went like this
Stan got upset that his brother was leaving for college rather then following their dreams, he punched a table with his brothers perpetual motion machine on it, it broke but Stan fixed it to the point where he thought it was completely fine and still helped his brother, but it broke down and in response to this Stan was abandoned by his ENTIRE FAMILY!!! He went around trying to make a name for himself but got banned from half the states in America, then ford called him saying he could only rely on him, he rushed there as soon as possible and ford literally said this “remember that boat we were talking about as kids, well I need you to take this journal, get on a boat, and get as far away from here as possible.”
So Stan gets mad and ford accidentally gets sent to another dimension, Stan worked for months trying to get him back, running out of food and having to turn the house into the mystery shack to make enough money to pay the bills and live, after that when he spent half of his life fighting to get ford back, learning quantum physics and stealing from the government, and finally he got the portal functioning and his brother ford emerged from the portal…
And immediately punched Stan in the face going of on him for opening the portal to save him when he said not to.
And after 1 or 2 months after this he NEVER got so much as a thanks or a smile
There was no gratitude for him after EVERYTHING, Stan literally saved him from a nightmare realm where one glimpse of it can make you try to erase your memories into nothing, and he wasn’t acknowledge once in 2 months
And everyone was still rushing to ford to solve their problems, and after ford just made some graffiti everyone immediately followed his instructions and ignored him
That boiled over so much that he just needed some acknowledgment
Also, it’s been a while since I watched, but didn’t he hold Ford’s hard after thanking him, at which point Ford insulted him causing the two of them to fight.
@@gabevalentine1689 yea he was willing to cooperate but ford barely gave him that, it is important to note that Stan wasn’t right or wrong but in a grey area nether right or wrong
ngl I remember REALLY not liking Ford until the very last episode lmao
Idk how much of common this opinion of Ford plan to destroy bill not working is Stan's fault. But that is bullshit. For me it's totally Ford's fault, why did he need to correct his brother in a time like that? The world was in a great danger and he didn't stop to think that was a really bad idea?
Technically Bill did leave a piece of himself behind, he left his physical body when he entered Stan's mind, though without the Real Bill inside, it's basically an empty shell occupying where he once stood.
And bill cipher is irl on confusion hill people has shaken his hand so he is not gone he is in the mind of someone AND WE NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR BILL NOW
The reason Bill was none the wiser with the switch at the end is because, apart from being twins, Stanley had to basically force his mind to look "clean and orderly" and not a mess of doors, like it was in Season 1. Otherwise, Bill would've noticed right away that it wasn't Stanford's mind. Because Bill underestimated the mental capability of a con man, he was finally defeated.
Also because, like Patternz, he can't count fingers.
also because all along the show we see time and time again that caution is not a thing for him, bill goes face first and THEN tries sneaky tactics when it fails
@@BreadOnInternet didn't he have a fake 6th finger on him in that scene? I remember he was wearing gloves that are not normally part of Fords outfit, so I think Stan had on the 6 fingers gloves we see when he's working on the portal, and had something stuffed up the sixth finger of the glove.
@@--CHARLIE-- he was wearing gloves, but he could have seen “Stanley” also had six fingers, and realized what was going on.
They left out 90% of the show. Btw yes they actually did try shooting him with a gun that deletes anything it touches out of existence. And it missed by a bit so he could regenerate.
Patterz not being able to count is the funniest thing in this video
People have recently started reacting to Gravity Falls, which just proves how timeless it is. Not just one of the best Disney animated stories, but one of the best animated stories in general. Alex Hirsch, the creator of the show and the voice of many characters, really helped influence a lot of Disney shows with some Gravity Falls aspects, i.e. Amphibia and The Owl House where both shows are comprised of Gravity Falls alumni. It’s really amazing how impactful this show became to billions of people.
Billions is an exaggeration. But millions probably isn’t
Patterz: "I have never seen gravity falls"
Everyone: "I want you out. Get out"
Pat is going to get too much knowledge we must stop him!
I WILL CONSUME ALL LORE
But there a side affect for him. He forgets thing alot and key details
Don't worry he'd eventually forget that there was a giant head guy with a giant hand
@@MorePatterrzHell yeah❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@MorePatterrzyes, get all the lore
BE THE LORE MASTER
Him going clueless into these makes it funnier😂
The reason Mabel trusted Stan was in season one he didn’t know how to say please but in the episode with the portal he says please
Fun fact about the fingers! In show, Ford is born with Polydactyly, which means you have 6 fingers. Every one else is drawn with 5 fingers and that’s also why the journal covers have 6 fingers on them. Cause Ford wrote them.
Seeing this has brought back so many memories. Getting Journal 3 and scanning for secrets, learning cyphers to decode the episodes one frame. Honestly, this show was amazing and I'm so sad that we didn't get another season
bill gets tricked by stan and ford because he thinks so little of humans that he thinks that they can't trick him
At this point he's speed running every piece of media lore he can get his hands on, spoilers are a suggestion to him 😂
16:50 Yeah, they kind glossed over the fact that Stanley was born with 12 fingers.
20:10 I mean, that only applies when used multiple times on one’s self.
21:19 Another detail glossed over for the sake of brevity, Stanley essentially Bill-proofed his mind
28:21 Well he did… but that’s just his physical body. So it’s less of a back up and more like an empty shell
The reason why bill didn’t think of them tricking him was because he has a flat mind with flat dreams.
From a flat world
@@Mayonaiesefrom a flat dimension
Flatland
You are probably not interested in this, but I must share my knowledge:
Ford's adventures from when he arrived to Gravity Falls to when he came out of the portal in the series are all written down in the physical copy of the Journal 3 :3 There are also things about the rest of the show, but since you can watch that I think that is the least interesting part.
The journal also gives a very scary view on Bill, since there are a few things that the creator of that video glossed over to keep it short but that are heavily described on the book
So my theory as to why they wrote the incantation down was so that future generations would know what not to do and what to look out for. "Tribe next door is doing the forbidden ritual. Better look out" "i had a weird dream about doing a ritual. But it was very much like the forbidden one so i do not do that" "Kaman the Shaman has coincidentaly started doing a raindance that 50% aligns with this ritual. Better keep an eye on that"
Fun fact: Stanley's original name for the Mystery Shack was the Murder Hut
Ironically I got an ad that was playing “We’ll meet again” before the video started
In Bill's Final moments, he evokes the name of AXOLOTL. A being which is a powerful multi dimensional being which is an axolotl.
"AXOLOTL MY TIME HAS COME TO BURN, I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWER SO I MAY RETURN!!"
And by doing so, Bill is capable of returning in another time, in another place and in another form. All to make sure he has a chance to make up for his crimes.
With the theory being that Bill gets reborn as Stanly Pines. And there js evidence for this.
-They call Ford Sixer
-They tell you to buy gold
-Sings the same song
-Stan tells you to shake the hand of the IRL Bill statue during the end of the Gravity Falls ARG
"Oh five fingers, wait.. there are six oops" this sums up this small part 16:17
"Hot Belgian waffles... Wait, I'm alone, I can swear for real. Son of a!!!!" I always liked this quote from when they showed the security footage.
I'm pretty sure you actually need to watch it even more now. This did spoil most of the main thru-line plot for you, but there is still so much more for you to discover in Gravity Falls.
29:34 YES YOU DO YOU *ABOSYLUTLY DO WATCHEK ITNOW!!S?!!*
Okay I am no scientist nor a person really interested in the field of physics. However, the perpetual motion machine is not necessarily supposed to have infinite energy. The whole concept is based off of the usage of energy by an object.
Think of a small scale dam where water falls down onto a water wheel, that water wheel transfers the movement as energy to a small pulley that buckets the water at the bottom to carry to the top of the dam. The issue here is that this would not last forever, forces like the impact of the water hitting the water wheel will vary and eventually there may be too much water at the bottom for the water wheel to even move from the impact of falling water.
The overall issue is that some amount of energy will always be transferred, everytime this happens there is less energy for every next transfer. This will keep going until something breaks or until the amount of energy being used is so low that the device is no longer able to compete its function.
“make another one”
i don’t think the college professors from his one in a life time chance college were gonna wait for him to make another one days after the “science fair” on THEIR own time😭
Ford actually *did* try to sniper Bill shortly after he entered the real world.
However, just as Ford had a lock-on Bill with his sniper, a bell behind him got affected by Bill's Weirdmageddon/nightmare realm which distracted Ford, causing him to miss his sniper shot and get captured by Bill.
Patterz: Stan's a piece of shit.
Me: and I took that personally.
“I have never seen Gravity Falls” fix that for yourself please
20:20 not entirely sure but I believe this timeline was constructed well before Journal 3, a real life version of Journal 3 from the show, was released. The book goes way more into detail of where Stanford was while MIA.
Patternz being on a timeline craze is a timeline i never taught i'd see.
a perpetual motion machine just always moves, it doesnt produce energy.
You could use that to create energy though.
25:28 A- Holy shit this man predicted the Book of Bill ending a year before it happened.
I love how patterz logic is:if they have a book, they are plot relavent
Stan was rightfully pissed at ford. The man spent 3 decades of his life working to rescue Ford from the machine Ford stupidly created and the man didn't get so much as a "thank you Stan" afterwards. Then Ford took the time to go all grammar n*zi on Stan which resulted in the fight. If Ford had kept his mouth shut, Bill would have been dealt with then and there.
Stan didn't need to lunge at Ford either you know. He could have just told him to shut up or something. He's a grown ass man and could have controlled his temper for 5 minutes for the sake of the world
@@starcatcher9405 ford knows how his brother reacts to things, he even said as much. It's like taunting an animal and then acting surprised when it attacks.
im loving seeing the timeline videos of all the stuff i stuffed into my head Adventure time Ben 10 fortnite now this
The reason Dipper was given his name is because he has a birth mark that looks like the little dipper on his forehead, yoh can see it at 19:28
Are you kidding me? It started when the UFO landed? It had to start over 1 trillion years ago with the birth of Bill cypher and the construction of Euclidia get with it guys.😂
It's funny that the whole Gideon being their enemy likely could've been avoided by Mabel actually agreeing to be friends & not just saying it to trick & beat him lol
I can't believe how Gideon is basically a child friendly version of Cartman. How did I not notice this before Patt, which I love the series, and Patt has never known anything about the series before this video
It should be noted that some information wasn't in the video due to the fact that they were in the books. Yes this series has books and some are canon. I believe the books are the source of Dipper's real name.
Wait what is his real name
@@chrismanning2888 Mason I believe
@@starcatcher9405 Yep, Mason.
3:44 that baby that karen pines is holding is dipper and Mabel parents
Man I remember the whole Stan and Ford reveal, it was crazy. It only got crazier from there, amazing show
Ironic that, gravity falls, a show all about lore, has the shortest lore video
25:29 HE CALLED IT THATS WHAT THEY DID IN THE BOOK OF BILL
HE DID
There are timelines like this for Steven Universe, Amphibia and owl house. So if you haven't seen these series, I highly recommend these videos.
“The grandchildren of Stan and Ford’s younger brother Shermie” he says, showing a picture of the baby.
“So rhey had to have had another sibling- are they adopted?”
I'm just here to say that Gravity falls, the owl house and amphibia are like the holy trinity of modern cartoons. They're genuinely great, and go watch them right now.
2 seconds into the video and I’m already disappointed in patterz
You should actually watch it. They left out a lot such as the fact BIll destroyed his 2d universe and theirs a nightmare realm which re rules over which is utter chaos.
23:50: Patterz, you would fall for Bill's trap so easily. 😆
23:58 You know there was a Sesame Street special where Elmo wished for it to be Christmas every day and eventually learned why that wasn't a good thing
25:29: Ford actually has a weapon for that but it failed.
They never actually said the saucer caused the weirdness. That was one option, the other being that the weirdness attracted the saucer. Journal 3's explanation of the town seems to lean towards the second option
28:29 that is the old mayor ( he is over 100 )
20:06 He used it too many times, unlike in that moment, which they used it 1 time to "delete" their recent memories
Now we need Amphibia Timeline
Yes yes yes
PLEASE PLEASE YES ABSOLUTELY PLZ
Imagine preferring Gravity Falls to Red Dwarf tho
Mabeland suited her needs so much that it was practically heaven, but she chose to leave, knowing that reality wouldn’t be any better if she chose to stay in the bubble, and because in this moment, Gideon and Mabel reject ego, the first cracks in bills armor start to appeal
Bill was defeated by the same thing Pat was not being able to count fingers
I was into Gravity Falls so much I bought Journal #3 twice. Once the normal version and the 2nd the limited edition that has printed invisible ink and eyeglass and Alex Hirsch's signature and also the comic book.
And had to cosplay both Stan twins one time.
i've got to say... that speech in the final episode still makes me tear up
Stan's parents had 3 kids, Stan, Stan, and Shermie. Shermie is the granpa of Dipper and Mabel.
Kinda sad that it didn't cover anything with the time baby. I would have loved to see the reaction
The only reason you can't have constant high dopamine and serotonin is because eventually the body will reduce the amount of receptors, being able to prevent a loss of receptors however will prevent loss of happiness
Yeah, see Bill cipher destroyed his home dimension, but he definitely misses his home and knows he can’t return. He knows Mabel wouldn’t want to leave because he knows he wouldn’t want to leave.
I know this is an only lore related video, but it would've been nice for him to actually see some of the character arcs + include more episode detail. Half an hour doesn't rly do it justice.
A-X-O-L-O-T-L My time has come to burn I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWER THAT I MAY RETURN! STANLEEEEEEEYYYYY!!!
Hey pat you should check out the gravity falls arg that let people find a irl Bill Cypher statue. Also if you find the time you should definitely see the series as the timeline didn't discuss every episode or how characters evolve throughout the show.
Gravity falls is a great show and you should watch it its only has 2 seasons but has a story that i could not forget, and watching the finale made me cry its still can make me cry to this day
So you should no must watch this amazing once in a lifetime of a show
He already watched this, so what's the point if he knows the story?
Bill's last words in stans mind was a invocation that he would return. The audio is reversed so reversing it allows you to hear it
a few more facts that weren't mentioned here Bill survived,
In his final moment he summons the almighty axolotl which probably revives him.
The series is over but it was continued in comics where there are also references to the reawakened Bill Cipher and one last thing Stanford was traveling with Rick from Rick and Morty, among other things.
The clues for this are in the official 3 diary which you can actually buy 😁
The Mega Man series has some crazy lore, I suggest looking into it
23:11 the guy forget to mention Gideon had psychic powers 😂
Can't believe they left out the axolotl thing which implies Bill is alive still
I was just rewatching gravity falls and I am remembering when we saw ford step out of the portal and we all freaked out just like pat
Now he just has to look into all the other lore
I really wish we could get a little bit more Gravity Falls content, whether that be a 3rd season, a movie, or even just more shorts. It was gone too soon.
Bro just wasted one of the best experiences of media consumption ever
Paterz: im sure he was fine
Gidion: i fell of a bridge!!
Love how it didn’t touch on the fact that bill might still be alive
Been waiting for this! Huge GF fan!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
"Look at me. TURN AROUND AND LOOK AT ME YOU ONE EYED DEMON! Youre a real wise guy but you made one fatal mistake. You messed with my family"
*Suckerpunches you out of existance*
Wait he predicted the future...
Bill is probably alive though since Stan's memories started to come back. Also this show is connected to Rick and Morty and it is loosely implied that Stanford had adventures with Rick,bird person and the entire crew together
So next is Amphibia or Owl House. Correct?
Pat should really watch the show, they missed so many good moments like the northwest manssion and the puppet show
Now you should watch the full timeline of of the owl house please You will love it ok❤❤
I like his problem is him knowing how to use dynamite not where did a 9 year old get dynamite
Fun fact: gravity falls is also somewhat connected to rick and Morty. When stan was working on the portal he drop a pen, notepad,and coffee mug and we see these items again in rick and Morty when rick open a bunch of portal to trick the other rick's.
12:25 HA, he nailed everything, the voice, the words, even the mannerisms
Something I don't like about the frederator timelines is that they skip over a lot of details, like how Gideon got the mech robot
