Yall would love Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated after this, it has some similar themes, and I find it funnier too, and the voice actors are great
8:12 10 square life sentences means 100 life sentences with 1 life sentence is 25 years meaning 100 life sentences means 2,500 years... Dang! The time paradox avoidance squadron is incredibly strict!
Good reaction as usual. Just a few thoughts:
-In ref to "actual gladiators", I honestly thought you were talking about the American Gladiator series until I read the other comments. Silly me.
-This & ep5 are 2 of my favorites in s2, partly b/c I feel like I relate to Soos more than the other GF characters.
-Since you mention the dino ep at 22:55, I recommend reacting to Camp Cretaceous (another animated show w/lots of action, mystery, & representation) & AppleTV's Prehistoric Planet (in ref to Montana's love of animal/nature docs).
All hail the overall video 🎉😊
I love how instead of Soos making up with his father, (like most shows would have had him do,) he decides that if his father doesn't care about him, then he's not worth it. It's a very mature, and sadly realistic decision. Also, Soos definitely made the best time wish possible.
Really, what show would end with making up with the deadbeat? Don't pretend like this is a special case, even a ridiculous concept like the Waterboy did this.
I saw a fanmade comic that he secretly gave it to the pizza-loving guy by his front door.
When he opened it and saw the pizza, he was confused and tried a bite.
Then he saw that it was an infinite pizza and realized that he's in pizza heaven.
It's amazing and wholesome.
@@Ultimaniacx4 It's not just bad fathers, it's basically everything. Lots of shows will spout that taking the high road is always best, and its better to forgive and forget. But sometimes it's not. And yeah these shows do a fine job teaching that lesson during shows and plots where the antagonist can be forgiven, but villains shouldn't be. Such as Soo's deadbeat dad.
@@Ultimaniacx4 Any show that has the deadbeat father actively present in the show. Though it's mainly the dad trying to redeem themselves (like with a big sacrifice), rather than the son simply just forgiving them.
As someone who grew up with a deadbeat dad, this episode really hit home for me. The only difference is that he finally tried to reach out to me after all those years, but just like Soos, I didn't care to get into contact with someone who didn't care about me for so long. Found family can be stronger than blood ties :3
oh my God man I feel so bad for you. I’m so sorry that happened to you man and you’re not alone because you’re not the only one I know how it feels not have a father by your side but things can get better if you’re all alone so I think you and I are going to be fine by ourselves I hope you have an amazing day with your family and whatever you do, promise me try to get along with them spend much time as possible with all of them and keep on hanging out with them because you never know when you will no longer be able to do it anymore and you can’t spend time with your family forever because you will never know if you’re going to be there long even though that my dad’s not here I still love him so I hope you do great with your family. OK you’re strong. I think you’re gonna be fine. Love you bro remember the message that I taught you OK see you later
Same thing happened to me but my dad died a short time after he tried to reach out to me and I said no. It made me doubt my decision for a while, but I’ve made peace with it now. He didn’t deserve to see me after everything that happened and I didn’t owe him anything.
Same. I had a chance to reach out to mine after lord most have been twenty years. I debated it and ultimately decided not to for the save reason. I lived in the same home till I graduated high-school and my family still lives there to this day. He had every opportunity to see us, call us, even just send a card and he did none of that. He passed not long after that and I can safely say that it was both the best decision and the worst cause yes I did stop concerning myself on it but I also passed up getting any closure and even now I still find myself wondering what I did wrong.
Ya, last time my father reached out to me, I didn’t even respond back with a no.
There’s a reason I agreed with Montana gravitating to Shoto from MHA.
I don’t even know if my father is alive or not.
He’s just not worth the mental anguish to worry about.
Mine would just occasionally show up when he felt guilty. Even before my parents split he barely interacted with me as I wasn't the son he was hoping for. When I was fourteen I told him to not bother anymore and went out of my way to go no contact.
Found out a few months ago that he passed in 2017. It hit me just like it did Rimmer in Red Dwarf. I mean I wanted nothing to do with him and knew he probably was dead but the confirmation still kinda messed me up.
It’s always been my personal headcanon that Lolph is Mabel’s descendent.
Mabel is definitely Lolph gamgam's! 😂
There should be a "Kenny adjusts his own microphone unnecessarily" counter
Computers can't hold numbers that large
Kenny casually making that prediction
A little sus but if it was a completely genuine prediction, he's really good.
Legit went 👀
yeah like ??? where did that even come from
I remember watching one reactor prediction it in Season 1 Time traveler's pig episode. I was like bruhh 💀
Apparently a BUNCH on people made the same theory Before 2x12 came out
Alex Hirch made a fake picture where it showed that McGucket was the Author, so people would stop talking about it,
Because too many people guessed this theory.
Don't know how a MAJORITY (probubly an exaggeration) guessed the Canon story
But I guess I'm not that well intuned with foreshadowing and storytelling 🤷🏽♂️
Kenny being so affected by the judgement of his mic adjustments is HILARIOUS.
I always thought the mic adjustments were cute lol, like “here babe lemme get that for you”
In episode 1x08, one of the "historical secrets" that you could read if you paused the video was that there is an "enormous, evil, time-devouring baby from another dimension" frozen in an Antarctic glacier - which, of course, means that it'll never get free, because everyone knows that glaciers never melt.
In episode 1x09, when Dipper and Mabel momentarily travel too far into the future, we can see Time Baby, as he conquers and enslaves humanity.
And now we've seen the even further future, where he rules with an iron fist. A pudgy iron fist.
Fun details about the Infinite Pizza Slice:
- It seems to sustain its own freshness.
- Soos can change the toppings with a thought. Meaning it can be black truffle with slices of kobe beef and some hard to find herbs.... or just feta cheese
- It is a Soos exclusive item. So sadly, it cannot be used to help feed a shelter.
what if he just gave a bite to someone else. just thinking that’s how he helps survivors in the final episodes
@@enthusiasticallydryI do wonder if that's the thing that makes it work out to feed many people. Though what if the bite taken by someone else doesn't reset? Like You take a bite of Soos' infini-slice, it'll have a bite taken out of it forever.
@@22TeslaI'm pretty sure it resets entirely once Soos takes a bite
@@crypt5129 Yeah, but does it do that if you were to eat like all but a bite of cheese from the crust and Soos took that last bite, would the whole thing reset? Hmm maybe it does just reset so long as you don't eat the whole thing and leave a couple bites left for Soos to reset it
@@22Tesla I'm pretty sure that's how it's confirmed to work
I Imagine Mable tired out of her mind after like a million challenges and when they win she's like "I'M SICK OF THIS MF, KILLLL HIIIIIMMM"
Man I'd be full of bloodlust too if I was unwillingly forced to fight in a tournament out of the blue.
Love how at the beginning of the show, Montana said she related to Mabel more and Kenny related to Dipper more, now they’ve swapped their answers!
Fun fact about gladiatorial combat, it was historically frowned upon to kill your opponents. Every gladiator dead is lost money for their Dominus. They were simply supposed to put on a good show, draw blood, and get their opponent to submit. It was then up to the highest ranking person in the audience, generally whoever was hosting the games, to declare if the loser lives or dies. Hardly any died in combat, or even from infection or bleeding out, as highly skilled doctors were always kept nearby.
The way the episode handles the topic of Soos and his absent father is one of my favorite developments in the show. It's such a mature topic that reaches a beautiful conclusion with Soos choosing the family he made over the father that he wanted to know his whole life, and while he heartbreakingly said that his father doesn't care about him, he also knows that his new family does. It's the first time the show made me cry.
21:30 there is noooo way kenny got that prediction right WHAT
(this is not a spoiler, they've already watched the next 5 episodes)
+1
I was so surprised he got it.
My eyes were literally: 👀
Like, how?
I also don't follow his reasoning. Why does he think it's Stan's BROTHER.
Like, it is, but huh?
@@Smartie234 very suspicious indeed, but ig we’ll have to wait and see what he says when the reveal comes Lmao
Pre-watched!!! 🤣
@@Smartie234theyve been thinking about it being stan's brother (dipper's grandfather) to connect and draw connections between dipper, stan, the author, and the mysterious things in gravity falls.
8:53 Actually I've once heard that gladiator shows were not as deadly as movies make them out to be. The logic being that it would be extremely costly to replace the dead gladiators with new ones every time, the training, just the whole thing.
There were deaths, sure; it's not like boxing or wrestling now, there were least rules and more deadly weapons. But killing each other wasn't a thing that was pushed on gladiators; again, because of how costly that would be.
That's true. Not to mention that the good gladiators were the sports stars of the past. The only ones killed in the fights were animals, prisoners (and later Christians) who, despite being given weapons, were just there to be executed.
Imagine if Mable really is the guard's grandma.
Considering he’s from two hundred and fñive millennia in the future, it’s not out of the question.
@@thegreendragon5390technically anyone who has children could be his grandparent many times over due to how people get together especially after thousands of years.
@@speedy01247well that's a fact that makes me unconfortable.
I'm really gonna miss Gravity Falls Tuesday with y'all when this is done. 💜
yeah, me too it’s like an end to a final Chapter but hey, look at the bright side maybe we can ask them to do reactions to old Disney Channel shows we used to watch movies, or TV shows that we used to watch if they’re OK with the idea
Fun fact about the Infinite Pizza Slice: It only works for Soos.
That aside I can relate to Soos some here. My relationship with my dad is very strained due to years of abuse and neglect, always prioritizing work over family & taking his anger and frustration out on us and our stuff, with his logic being "my house my rules" and "well I paid for it so it's mine". Eventually it got to the point where we couldn't take it anymore and mom divorced him. He's tried apologizing but for me it's too little too late (you never cared before, why start now?). We're in a much better place now away from him, and though we were forced to move houses (he couldn't afford to pay for the houses anymore (ours or his) & effectively kicked us out), it's most likely for the best since even if he complains he can't do anything about it.
Side note: It always seems like dads are the jerk parents in both fiction and real life. Not saying moms can't be too, but dads are more likely.
Aww, you two look so cute in matching overalls! Kenny looks like he came straight off the farm with the earth tones he's got on with it. lol
Oh my god, the laser from Time Baby at 16:05 looks like it hits Montana's head perfectly
Yall would love Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated after this, it has some similar themes, and I find it funnier too, and the voice actors are great
Mystery Incorporated getting more love would be INCREDIBLY worth it. It’s SUCH a great show
I need this to blow up. That is such an underrated show
Just wanted to say that the matching overalls are the cutest fucking thing ever
I was way too young to not realize how deep this ep was with Soose or however you spell his name lol. He's a really good and selfless guy. Definition of "he's a bit confused but he got the spirit"
Its Soos
This episode has one of my favorite Soos moments in the series.
Faced his problems while handing it in a mature manner, which, most of the time, he's usually a manchild.
this episode confirmed the theory i had for quite a while
stan is soos's real dad , no further proof or question needed ☝️
This episode dropped the biggest piece of Gravity Falls lore: SOOS' REAL NAME IS JESUS
Actually, gladiator battles weren't that gruesome when it was two professionals gladiators fighting. Usually, the bloody battles where those where prisoners (and later on Christians) were given weapons and thrown against a professional gladiator to be killed.
"Ow! My time-knee!
I love this episode so much, Soos is my favorite character in the show and so it's always nice to revisit this episode when people react to it.
It also shows why Soos is so dedicated to Stan and the Pines family as a whole. Stan was basically the father figure Soos never had.
Never really noticed how, when blendin tried to fix his camouflage suit , it teases the next few episodes.
Welcome to the golden arc of the show. This episode up to episode 12 is just pure gold and what people watch the series for!
Its cute that he adjust her microphone.😊
Kenny and Montana’s relationship is so cute, their banter makes me giggle😂🩷
This is one of my favorite eps man. Soos is a such a good character
At last, the return of Blarblar.
You guys look so cute in those outfits!!
The wish which Soos made was one of the most matured thing in history of cartoons ever.
17:50 Mabel went full Louise

Kenny simply must stop with the laser-accurate predictions! XD
Pre watche!
HOWD HE GET THAT THEORY SO RIGHT AT THE END. HUUUH
So point of order the "enye" is specifically n with ~ on top, the ~ symbol on it's own in called a tilde.
Graphematics, ladies and gentlemen!
Nice, this episode different, whether you have the same problem or not, soos just got some nice character development, even when he already was a good character
i love how they casually guess what the gravity falls fandom could not figure out while the show was on air😭
I'm not sure if its accurate but I always thought Soos's dad walked out on him and his mom and his mom had died of something. His dad never cared to come get him so he ended up living with his grandma from his mom's side. His grandma definitely has some strong opinions on Soos's dad. I think its even more telling that his dad doesn't even call him Soos in the letter he just calls him champ. Almost as if his dad doesn't care enough to even remember Soos's name. Stan may not be his father but he was the closest thing to a father he ever had and its why he is so dedicated to him and sees him as a father figure. He considers the Pines family as part of his own which is actually wholesome. He realizes the Pines cared more about him and they have always been more of a family to him than his own dad ever was. His grandma also seems to like them as well.
I NEVER NOTICED THE RED BALLOON BEHIND THE DOOR AT 13:14 !!! 'It' reference???
Good reaction as usual. Just a few thoughts:
-In ref to "actual gladiators", I honestly thought you were talking about the American Gladiator series until I read the other comments. Silly me.
-This & ep5 are 2 of my favorites in s2, partly b/c I feel like I relate to Soos more than the other GF characters.
-Since you mention the dino ep at 22:55, I recommend reacting to Camp Cretaceous (another animated show w/lots of action, mystery, & representation) & AppleTV's Prehistoric Planet (in ref to Montana's love of animal/nature docs).
Soos sees Stan as a father figure and I absolutely love that.
Proximity mic effect is an actual thing, but you don’t need your SM7B mics to be constantly adjusted or as close as possible to your mouths. That is unless, you want a particular sound.
Pro tip: You can avoid “Plosives” (basic plosives in English are t, k and p (voiceless) and d, g and b (voiced)) by angling/ tilting your mics a bit. You’ll notice some TH-camrs and podcasters will do the same. Looking forward for more of your great reacts! ✌️
Just want to hug Soos. My favorite character.
Not as gruesome as gladiators? That dude was literally vaporized as a wish of the winner, most gladiators at least tried not to kill each other. This one's precious time wish was presumably to just kill his already defeated opponent. 😀
16:45 you shoul check out new version of Tron from 2009 called "Tron Legacy". This movie is so underrated. One of my favourites. Music for this movie is maid by Daft punk
yeah i'm only half way through at this point but so far montana's volume hasnt changed from normal.
I was about to clarify gladiatorial history, but they just called me out! 🤣
9:15
Kenny taking slickshots at Montana the whole time because he couldn’t touch the mic😭😂
Kenny is wondering about the mechanics of time travel in this universe. I think the fact that the time cops pull up a "live feed" of the past tells you everything you need to know.
i love how whenever kenny even attempts to defend endevour montana just wents to ultimate defensive mode 😅
heck , this time he didn't even say anything, just let out a weird sigh
this lady does NOT fck around with her hatred toward that guy
That was the Deputy he throw out too 😂😮
You should totally watch Assassination Classroom, I would love to see Montana psycho analyze every character.
oh my fucking god yes!!!
Yes
Yes please, that would be amazing!
If you look up wholesome in the dictionary you'll see a picture of Soos using his wish to clean up the Pines twins ❤🥺
If yer interested, Paul from 'Kinetic Symphony' is also doing a Gravity Falls watch through for the very first time, but he's only up to the Bottomless Pit! It has been SOOOO much fun messing with him, because at first he was all like 'I'm told there are secret messages at the end of each episode?' I've been posting both the Cryptogram & the decoded messages one at a time as he watches each episode because he was all like 'I'm not going to bother decoding thaaaat...' And I'm like, 'That's fine. At first it's just a neat little Easter egg hunt that starts out small in such a way that you'd never notice it in the beginning, but they become more and more noticeable as the series progresses. It's not important now but it will be later on.'
tl;dr = I keep telling him to pay attention to the cryptogram, but more importantly, pay attention to the Cipher! (And I always capitalize Cipher) What can I say? It's really fun to mess with people....
I wonder what would happen if you eat the infinite pizza slice whole.
I guess the whole universe will end I guess I don’t know. I guess we have to wait for the next million years.
It will recover from the bread crumbs that will remain anyway
@@__-qh7ki that is very interesting idea that something I don’t think I can do to make sure I’m clean
I love this show so much ❤
Today’s the 12 of July. Happy birthday Soos for tomorrow
Y’all should watch Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated…one of my favorite shows hands down!!!!
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE BOY BAND!?!? 5:20
Yeah, the audio for Montana was fine. Kenny, I think its just your ocd habit haha
why Kenny be looking like a dollar store Mario
BTW, a mobius strip is a physically possible shape. You can easily make a building into that shape and that shape can also look like an infinity.
(Your comments made it seem like you thought the building couldn’t be a mobius strip and an infinity because it looked physically possible)
You guys have to watch Tron now.
Reaction aside, why is Kenny dressed like Wario lol
i love this episode it is definitely top five for me
16:43 Have you seen Tron Legacy, and if not will you maybe react to it?
After gravity falls, you guys should watch How to Train Your Dragon, Race to the Edge!! It's my absolute favorite, and i think you'll love it.
"Blendin's Game": Blendin calls for Gladiatorial combat against The Mystery Twins! Dipper and Mabel run into Jesus' "birthday blues." A Laser Tag date leads to Dipper and Mabel "going to the future," then stealing a Time Tape Measure to get back. They find pre-teen Tambry and Wendy; Mabel teaches young Jesus how to "game the candy machine." Globnar becomes as see-saw battle, capped by the ancient game of...Laser Tag! The Mystery Twins give Blendin and Jesus better lives.
I assumed the mother was dead & the dad abandoned Soos with the grandmother/mother in law. The dad sucks.
I wonder if Blendin would ever get pre-recorded
Overalls Kenny?! Too cute ❤❤
It might be a very heavy spot, but I always worry about Montana's reactions to bad fathers, but to hear her relate to Todoroki because of his relationship with his father now has got me very concerned.
I wonder how it can be a Live Feed if they're viewing back in time?
23:20 - 24:03 ….. 😐
Blendin's timeline looks pretty evil, if you ask me
You have to watch tron legacy. It’s an amazing animated show set as a kinda prequel. You guys would love it!
I know blending be blanching
do you think the time wish could've erased bill from existence?
I really only have one question why exactly is Kenny dressed as a plumber a.k.a. Mario…lol
Great reaction keep up the good work
This reaction was pretty exciting. Not as exciting as a real gladiator battle, though.
You guys should totally react to the movie tron!!
OCD trust me I get it Kenny 😂 has to be perfect coz only u can hear it lmao
Loved this episode! I don't wanna be that subscriber, but y'all should really pay more attention to end credit scene! Y'all miss it evry time!
I mean instant disintegration is probably a very quick way to go.
Anyone know when they are going to upload ATLA live action
"that's a paradox" Nah it's just a closed loop, they're not paradoxical. You don't know how you entered the loop initially (and maybe there is no initially depending on how you view the loop) but that doesn't mean it results in paradoxes!
A loop that would result in paradox is a loop where A cause B and B cause notA which cause notB which cause A. Then you're fucked because you have a sort of moebius strip (appropriate considering the episode xD) instead of a loop and there's no stable self-sustaining timeline.
Are you going to watch the live action avatar?
You know I just relized that Kenny has a lisp.
Omg you guys need to react to tron
Sad fact.
I heard some place, that Soos's dad didn't send any post card. It was his abuelita who sent them
React to Amphibia or Kipo after Gravity Falls
Kipo would be amazing! Not enough people react to Kipo. It's such a great series.
Awesome
:D
When will you guys start on Netflix's Avatar? You gonna take a new day to devote to it, or will it replace something else?
they said it will come after gravity falls i believe
Kinda bothers me when you adjust the mic 😂😂😂 idk why 😂😅
Soos an I have the same birthday 🎂
