Alex Hirsh actually recently revealed this on a gravity falls podcast but in the treasure chest, there was a note that said "______ was here" (I forget the name) and people just assumed it was another fan or crew member who got there first. But apparently some random 14yo kid who lived in the area found it like a month before the end of the show and he posted it on an unsolved mysteries subreddit. The kid had no idea what gravity falls was, he just thought he found some random statue The crew found the post and Alex got into contact with the kid, literally called him and bribed him with $100 to take down the post and never tell anyone. The kid agreed only with the caveat that he got to have credit as the person who found it first. So he left that note in the treasure chest!
The interesting thing about Dipper is that his comedic moments happen while he is the straight man of the situation. Like when he says that he says that Pacifica is to worst to her face, which makes even funnier.
This playlist is one I always binge every now and then. It’s so much fun to see people who had no idea what the show was and go through the mystery all over again. Reminds me how I was when I was a preteen getting into it. There will never be another show like this for kids.
Their reaction to Soos’ grandma explaining where her late husband is, and especially Rick’s insane laughter when from McGucket told Soos “I’LL STILL EAT YA” while Calvin complains McGucket should be locked up, are my other two favorite reaction moments.
I started watching Gravity Falls because Blind Wave was reacting to it. I had no idea what this show was about and damn....it was a hell of a ride and the crew's reactions to "Gravity Falls" are one of the best reaction series I've seen on any reaction channel. Thank you to all the people who voted for it.
Gravity Falls may be over, but the writers and animators went off to shows like Amphibia and Owl House, which are similar. Not the mystery or the codes, but the vibe. And of course lots of easter eggs
Back when the show was airing, I never saw the cops' relationship as romantic. Even when they say & do something that's subtly romantic, I just thought they were being wholesome pals. So I don't know what the hell Disney's problem was with having two guys have arms around each other.
It could be because of the heavy censorship but it definitely felt like they fell in love over time leading to the last episode where It was obviously states it as opposed to them being in love the whole time
@@Mrs.Garrison69 i was talking about children’s television in general, of which Disney is the biggest. i meant if it didnt have the restrictions of being labld a children’s cartoon. also shows on Cartoon Network get pretty dark. have you seen Infinity Train?
I find it ironic they finish the reaction in my first day of college, thank you guys for teh incredible journey through my senior year of highschool. It feels like yesterday since I watched that finale and trying to figure out the mysteries since middle school, thank you for reminding me if the good times and the kid that will always be in me!
In addition to what was said about Time Baby, in the short with The Mailbox, they ask it when the end of the world is and it says 3012 (1000 years after the events of the show)
I can see that you guys really enjoyed this show because i think ive never seen yall do an entire podcast to one show. Gravity Falls will go down in history as one of the best western cartoon shows for eternity
I'm still not ready to say goodbye. Thank you guys so, so much for taking me on a journey through my favorite show again - it was amazing to watch you unlock the mystery for the first time.
(34:15) When I read "Not S&P approved" on Tambry's Summerween party flyer, I laughed, because I thought it was just an inside-jokey way of saying, "This party is gonna be so wild, that the stuffy censors would be shocked by it". I didn't find out about the story behind it, until I saw Alex Hirsch tell the tale of this note exchange at a con panel. Now I love the joke even more!
Alex: Can i make this extra dimensional being rearrange the holes in someone's face? Disney: Sure Alex: Can these two guys show affection? Also Disney: Dear god no, what is wrong with you!? Children are watching.
That's interesting, because they allowed two girls to show affection on The Owl House. There are a lot of LGBTQ+ characters on there. Two girls who are bi, a girl with two dads, a couple of pansexuals, a non-binary character (there's a mention of a second, but I don't think they were shown), and an asexual. That's among the major characters. They also had a cute older lesbian couple.
@@METerrell That's because the the Owl has came out much later than Gravity Falls, some of these things are more "corporate socially acceptable" since time has passed. Though even with that said the owl house is getting its 3rd and final season cut down because the show apparently doesnt fit the "disney brand"
This was an amazing series. I loved watching you throughout summer, a fitting season for the summer show. I loved watching you obsess and theorize while I waited for my players to show up to our Sunday D&D games. I truly don’t think, no matter how much I hope, that there will ever be a another show like Gravity Falls. Best of luck with your next series. Batman and Ben Ten look like they’re going to be great.
Second this. The Owl House is one of Disneys greatest cartoons, and Amphibia is amazing too, it has some of the best episodes in Disney cartoon history.
The Gallifrey Gals did the cyphers but then never figured out that there were keys hidden in the episodes so they were never able to figure out the cyphers after season 2 started.
1:34:33 i just realized something to add onto this. In one of the shorts with the all knowing mailbox thing, one of the question asks when will the world end and it responds to 3012. So maybe time baby’s tantrum leads to the end of the world
When I was a teen, I loved Gravity Falls and since I was into Fandom culture all the AU’s like Reverse Falls or Transcendence that sprung up from it. One of the better shows in my opinion.
Yeah, I remember seeing Alex's tweet and thinking "what a fun idea for the fans in the US, I wish I could be part of it" and like an hour later I find out that the first clue was found in Piter, where I was literally 2 days ago. The Universe has a sense of humor. To answer Eric's question I really like this type of podcast. It would be fun to watch something like this after the end of Attack on Titan, for example.
Your journey through Gravity Falls is the reason I subscribed. It was so fun to go through it with you guys. I really loved every single video. Thank you!
Adventure time is soooo good. The beginning is a little simplistic, but it just keeps building and building throughout the seasons, adding depth and maturity, turning into a show that’s very dear to my heart. Also, there’s a hidden snail in almost every episode… ;)
I would love to see you all take on Owl House! Alex Hirsch plays a few characters + has been dating it's creator, it is influenced alot by Gravity Falls but has a more fantasy vibe. No matter what, can't wait to see what you all have planned! This has been my fav series :3
This was a great send off to a great series, my only issue is I wish someone had explained the axolotl thing to you guys because it goes a lot deeper Hopefully someone will bring it up in a future podcast
What I love is that when people started figuring out the Twin thing, they gave a red herring instead of completely changing course. So many shows will have a plan and then change it to make no sense when people get to close (i.e. pretty little liars), but this show stuck to the plan. Also I think the reason Mable is close but not actually annoying is because she isn't dumb, like she is extravagant and loud but she sees things too and is always willing to help people. Usually characters like her, they play off as ignorantly selfish.
You really fell in love with the series! And I'm so glad it happened, Gravity Falls is a special series that draws everyone into it, the mystery, the humor and the characters, I'm sorry it ended so quickly but...summer is over So *welcome* you will now not be able to sleep at night because of the thoughts "Maybe there will be another season" "Wait, Bill is alive?!" "It's Bill, obviously he's alive!" "Maybe Alex Hirsch is begging for a third season!" So *congratulations* you are now officially a Gravity Falls fan
I've seen some Gravity Falls Reactions, and about the ciphers most of them just look them up, i think i've seen one that was doing it offscreen but stopped cuz it were mostly jokes with nothing really important. But you guys were so fun to watch! Watching you look for the keys and cracking the codes, and how you were genuinely loving the show, it was just so cool. I was a kid when watching some Gravity Falls on tv, so i didn't participate on treasure hunts and keys and codes, i discovered all of that after, but with you're reactions i felt like i was experiencing that too. Thank you, it was the best reaction series i've watched, for anything really 😁
I just thought of a suggestion. It's getting to be fall and I wanted to recommend another "cartoon" series that's related to this time of the year. "Over the Garden Wall" It very much has the large age appeal like Gravity Falls. It has wonderful songs, stories, and characters and I think it would be a good time watching it.
Axolotls are named after the Aztec god Xolotl, the twin of Quetzalcoatl (incidentally making him the god of twins) whose divine duty was to escort the souls of the departed safely into the realm of the dead and escorting the sun through the realm of the dead at night so that it could rise next morning. Aside from being a thanatosian twilight deity, Xolotl was also the god of monsters and deformities and was regarded as the personification of Venus, the Evening Star... Makes sense that an entity so connected with some central themes of Gravity Falls would be the top god of the setting. Also makes sense that Bill would call out to such an entity in his dying moments.
So happy you guys enjoyed the show! It was so fun watching it again through your eyes. Would love for you guys to check out the new Ducktales, as well as Over The Garden Wall around Halloween. Both shows are super wholesome and enjoyable.
I had such a fun time watching you guys deep dive into each episode. And y’all said it; a great reveal to a mystery, doesn’t happen from nothing. There are breadcrumbs to follow, and when you finally reach the end point, you just feel satisfied and rewarded.
Well guys if your looking for more shows that have all the great elements you've come from Gravity Falls, I recommend you guys giving either DuckTales, Amphibia or The Owl House a good watch. Anyway before I leave, *"REALITY IS AN ILLUSION, THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM, BYE GOLD BYYYYYE!"*
1:33:34 Matpat Jumpscare! 📽 This was a wonderful journey revisiting my favourite show, only this time I got to watch the Blind Wave crew slowly noticing all the little ciphers and secrets!🌟
I totally agree with Rick’s daughter. I started watching this show solely so I could watch and understand your reactions. By the end of the series, I was in love with the show, thanks in part to you guys. Your reactions always enhance the experience for me.
wish they were shown how blevin(?) the time traveler is in the background of a lot/every episode, like episode 1 he is by bushes near end when dipper and mabel are talking after fighting the gnomes
I remember watching this show when I was a little kid when it was airing. Solving all the ciphers and puzzles while everyone was figuring out the big secrets was so much fun and is now a big part of my childhood. I’m so glad 10 years later people are still enjoying this amazing show :)
Eric is right, Fringe would be so deserving of a worldwide hint hunt but I know it’s somehow still an under appreciated show. Hopefully once you start reacting to it, people start waking up to its brilliance.
Really hope gravity falls comes back in some capacity some day. It had such a unique aura around it that almost makes me nostalgic for it even though I watched it with the crew. This is definitely gonna be one of those shows I’ll check in and see if there’s any news of a revival every few months just in case
ABSOLUTELY consider Amphibia. It's technically set in the same continuity as Gravity Falls and makes some huge references to it. The Owl House is as well, but that's probably less up your alley.
@@GamingMorron season 2 of owl house is the biggest jump in quality I've ever seen in a tv show. You can tell that the last few episodes of season 1 was where Dana really got to make the show she had in mind
Amphibia has absolutely phenomenal season finales but the majority of it can be pretty slow and dull. It would be harder for them to react to in my opinion
@@grants9282 I couldn't agree less, the only part of it I've found to be slow and dull was the first half of season 3. I suppose the first part of the show isn't very plot-centric but neither is Gravity Falls. It's pretty well paced across its three seasons. It's also nice to get two stories per episode.
@@grants9282 I agree. Season 1 is kind of rough. It's definitely enjoyable and there's some good animation, but there's a lot of episodes that just don't have a huge amount of value on their own. Season 2, however, is absolutely phenomenal and a great ride the whole way through.
A bit "late to the party" but I definitely enjoyed binging and watching your journey with Gravity Falls. I can't remember how many times I've had the tendency of playing this show in the background in the summer, but it's without a doubt one of the most well-written animated series I'd ever had the pleasure of experiencing. (I definitely credit my nieces and nephews for vouching the series for me back when it was running.) Although I feel like even if I put this series down for years and watch/read other things, it never loses the 'magic' it held the first time I experienced it; which is something you don't often see in other animated series from the West to such a degree. And just to ensure this series continues to remain alive in another generation, I've recently customized a Dipper Pine's Hat for my younger nephew's belated birthday recently; along with Journal 3 that I found on Amazon.
I would love more series specific podcasts in the future! Also, a lot of people mention The Owl House and Amphibia, which I'm glad for, but not that many mention Infinity Train. So yeah, Infinity Train could also be good, looking for something similar, but also different. I know it works with replacement polls, and it already happened with Gravity Falls, I'm just putting the title out there, give it more chance to stick.
I sincerely hope somewhere down the line you will also add Amphibia and The Owl House to your polls, as they were created by fellow animators of Alex Hirsch's team; who he generously assisted by voice characters in their own projects. Much like Gravity Falls they are surprisingly more than what they are marketed as (seemingly projecting to "ages 6-11"), and honestly even without the puzzles and such that Gravity Falls was known for, they really stick with you. It's just great writing in the world building, stories, but most of all the characters.
I can’t believe I missed this stream and actually forgot about it until today considering that gravity falls is my favorite show, blind wave are by far my favorite reactors, and this is prolly my favorite reaction series of theirs
I'm going to recommend that you guys consider watching Over the Garden Wall with how much you loved Gravity Falls. It's super short (basically movie length) and is themed for October.
I'm so happy you guys watched Alex's video about S&P!! I sent it to your twitter account hoping you'd watch it on your own time but I'm so glad you included it here so we could see your reactions!!
Dipper and Mabel and the Curse of the Time Pirates' Treasure! either is a book of short adventures that continue the story or contains at least 1 story that continues the story.
If you're looking for more western animation in a vein similar to Gravity Falls, I'd highly recommend The Owl House, Steven Universe and INFINITY TRAIN (although Infinity Train has just been removed from HBO Max because Discovery hates good television)
(you mentioned about it being hard to get greenlit if kids aren't the stars of the show - that's why Infinity Train ended up being cancelled. The 5th season would have centred around an adult character and they cancelled it citing "no child entry point")
Amazing! My all time favourite show! Glad to see the Twitch stream released here! Really brings me back to the time they talked about Avatar Last Airbender!
I'm pretty sure my first ever TH-cam comment was on a 'The Royal Order Of The Holy Mackerel' theory video about Dipper's real name and I ended up being right, which was well before the journal came out and actually revealed it.
My friend bought me the 3rd journal for my birthday, and on the cover there was a little tag from Stan saying "buy it twice!" So my friend actually had to pay double the amount for the book lol
gravity falls is one of my favorite shows and watching the reactions to it has been really fun, like watching it over for the first time again :D id recommend doing over the garden wall & the owl house at some point, theyre both on the same level of quality to me and a very fun watch!
"everyone grieves in their own way, and throwing an insane international treasure hunt was the way I grieved for Gravity Falls" - Alex Hirsch

It was a fantastic run. I hope we one day get some kind of follow up to it. As long as all the original creators and talent are involved.
Gravity Falls may be over, but the writers and animators went off to shows like Amphibia and Owl House, which are similar. Not the mystery or the codes, but the vibe. And of course lots of easter eggs
They def should give Amphibia a watch sometime, I know one episode they'll absolutely love.

I remember watching this show when I was a little kid when it was airing. Solving all the ciphers and puzzles while everyone was figuring out the big secrets was so much fun and is now a big part of my childhood. I’m so glad 10 years later people are still enjoying this amazing show :)
Eric is right, Fringe would be so deserving of a worldwide hint hunt but I know it’s somehow still an under appreciated show. Hopefully once you start reacting to it, people start waking up to its brilliance.
I’m truly hoping after they finish Lost. In one of the videos, maybe in mailbag, Eric really pushed hard for it after Lost is done.
Really hope gravity falls comes back in some capacity some day. It had such a unique aura around it that almost makes me nostalgic for it even though I watched it with the crew. This is definitely gonna be one of those shows I’ll check in and see if there’s any news of a revival every few months just in case
ABSOLUTELY consider Amphibia. It's technically set in the same continuity as Gravity Falls and makes some huge references to it. The Owl House is as well, but that's probably less up your alley.
The Owl House would definitely be intriguing for them! Season 2 especially!
@@GamingMorron season 2 of owl house is the biggest jump in quality I've ever seen in a tv show. You can tell that the last few episodes of season 1 was where Dana really got to make the show she had in mind
Amphibia has absolutely phenomenal season finales but the majority of it can be pretty slow and dull. It would be harder for them to react to in my opinion
@@grants9282 I couldn't agree less, the only part of it I've found to be slow and dull was the first half of season 3. I suppose the first part of the show isn't very plot-centric but neither is Gravity Falls. It's pretty well paced across its three seasons. It's also nice to get two stories per episode.
@@grants9282 I agree. Season 1 is kind of rough. It's definitely enjoyable and there's some good animation, but there's a lot of episodes that just don't have a huge amount of value on their own. Season 2, however, is absolutely phenomenal and a great ride the whole way through.
Dude imagine when they get to adventure time. That's gonna be a great time
Oh definitely
Definitely watch Adventure Time next It’s one of those “kids” cartoons that you can enjoy as an adult.
To me Mabel is like Alexis from Schitt's Creek. I would usually HATE them... but something about them is perfectly balanced.
I hope someday you guys get the Lost Legends graphic novel! Four new stories to read. Or you could watch the excellent fan dub on TH-cam!
A bit "late to the party" but I definitely enjoyed binging and watching your journey with Gravity Falls.
I can't remember how many times I've had the tendency of playing this show in the background in the summer, but it's without a doubt one of the most well-written animated series I'd ever had the pleasure of experiencing. (I definitely credit my nieces and nephews for vouching the series for me back when it was running.)
Although I feel like even if I put this series down for years and watch/read other things, it never loses the 'magic' it held the first time I experienced it; which is something you don't often see in other animated series from the West to such a degree.
And just to ensure this series continues to remain alive in another generation, I've recently customized a Dipper Pine's Hat for my younger nephew's belated birthday recently; along with Journal 3 that I found on Amazon.
I would love more series specific podcasts in the future! Also, a lot of people mention The Owl House and Amphibia, which I'm glad for, but not that many mention Infinity Train. So yeah, Infinity Train could also be good, looking for something similar, but also different. I know it works with replacement polls, and it already happened with Gravity Falls, I'm just putting the title out there, give it more chance to stick.
I sincerely hope somewhere down the line you will also add Amphibia and The Owl House to your polls, as they were created by fellow animators of Alex Hirsch's team; who he generously assisted by voice characters in their own projects.
Much like Gravity Falls they are surprisingly more than what they are marketed as (seemingly projecting to "ages 6-11"), and honestly even without the puzzles and such that Gravity Falls was known for, they really stick with you.
It's just great writing in the world building, stories, but most of all the characters.
Gravity falls is such a good show and I am so happy you guys watched it. This and phineas and ferb are my favorite cartoons
I’ve literally been a fan since the show came out, and I had no idea Dippers actual name was Mason
Duck tales when?
It had a very gravity falls feel
Oh that be fun
I can’t believe I missed this stream and actually forgot about it until today considering that gravity falls is my favorite show, blind wave are by far my favorite reactors, and this is prolly my favorite reaction series of theirs
This is awesome. Gravity Falls is so good and I'm happy you guys had enjoyed watching it. Love the reactions
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But i know we'll meet again some sunny day!
You're leaving Gravity Falls
I'm going to recommend that you guys consider watching Over the Garden Wall with how much you loved Gravity Falls. It's super short (basically movie length) and is themed for October.
14:46: Wait. Did your guys' editor make a shorter version of the "Between the Pines" video? That's hilarious! 😂
I'm sure if they watched the full one, youtube might take it down. But it sucksssss. I want them to watch the full ver so bad!
@@Duchessofweirdness they watced the shorter one on the podcast for the sake of time
this intro was so cute
Always Remember Big Henry
I'm so happy you guys watched Alex's video about S&P!! I sent it to your twitter account hoping you'd watch it on your own time but I'm so glad you included it here so we could see your reactions!!
Nothing more beautiful than some adults taking a kid show as seriously as possible
You guys are really cool
I remember how crazy the hut was and to see all those people work together was just so amazing.
Dipper and Mabel and the Curse of the Time Pirates' Treasure! either is a book of short adventures that continue the story or contains at least 1 story that continues the story.
That intro is still 🔥
If you're looking for more western animation in a vein similar to Gravity Falls, I'd highly recommend The Owl House, Steven Universe and INFINITY TRAIN (although Infinity Train has just been removed from HBO Max because Discovery hates good television)
Steven universe would be wonderful. I would love to see the ideas they form, lol
(you mentioned about it being hard to get greenlit if kids aren't the stars of the show - that's why Infinity Train ended up being cancelled. The 5th season would have centred around an adult character and they cancelled it citing "no child entry point")
Infinity Train is a show that deserved so much more.
Amazing! My all time favourite show! Glad to see the Twitch stream released here! Really brings me back to the time they talked about Avatar Last Airbender!
I love the idea of a gravity falls point and click game! I want to play that now.
I'm pretty sure my first ever TH-cam comment was on a 'The Royal Order Of The Holy Mackerel' theory video about Dipper's real name and I ended up being right, which was well before the journal came out and actually revealed it.
My friend bought me the 3rd journal for my birthday, and on the cover there was a little tag from Stan saying "buy it twice!" So my friend actually had to pay double the amount for the book lol
I bet Rick is going ham for The Book Of Bill.
I'll miss looking forward to ur reactions every Saturday hahah, now onto Ben 10!
Y’all should definitely check out the owl house next
Can’t wait for the owl house or amphibia next!
They would LOVE either!
They mainly choose shows through patreon polls so hopefully those make it in
The treasure we got is not material it truly is the journey and the show itself
gravity falls is one of my favorite shows and watching the reactions to it has been really fun, like watching it over for the first time again :D id recommend doing over the garden wall & the owl house at some point, theyre both on the same level of quality to me and a very fun watch!
Your gravity falls series was the best thing on BW and I love all of BW but your guys in depth analysis and passion was so well matched with this show
it was a great journey with you guys your reactions are awesome and im so happy you loved the show so much
They haven't watched every episode.
You should watch the 10th anniversary special as well. It gives a lot of insight and perspective form Alex Hirsh's side.
3:14 "Dan Vs." is the epitome of this
I don’t care WHO the IRS sends, I am NOT paying taxes!
