When we first met Gideon, I was as already apprehensive as Stan, mainly because he was definitely looking for some sort of power. Also, fun fact: Alex initially had the idea for Gideon to have a twin brother hidden inside his hair. Unnecessary? Probably. Hilarious? ABSOLUTELY!

I love the "Something tells me your name is Mable." part. It reminds me of one time I was doing deliveries and the receptionist picked up the phone and went "Peter has a package for you." and I just couldn't understand how they knew my name. then I realized I was wearing a nametag.
This is a surprisingly mature episode for a show that was pretty comedic up until now. Sure, it had mature elements and adult jokes, but not a full on murder attempt which wasn't even retconned by Gideon saying that he wanted to cut Dipper's hair or something like that, a *genuine* murder attempt, a nice guy storyline about how Gideon feels entitled to Mabel's affection and resents her for refusing his advances, and Mabel learning to stand up for herself and say no to him, and not to mention that Gideon is actually a pretty scary antagonist and the show doesn't even pull jokes at most of his 'scary' moments, it genuinely paints him as scary.

You gotta love the wordplay for character names in this series. We had Toby Determined in the last episode (i.e. To Be Determined) and now Gideon Gleeful (i.e. Giddy and Gleeful). Wonder if you two will pick up on the pun name for a certain blonde girl coming up in a few episodes. Also, this is the first time you hear a character uses Stan's full name.
@@kelkellys *MAJOR SPOILERS* Do not continue if you haven't watched the series! Gideon calls Grunkle Stan "Stan _ford_ " rather than "Stan _ley_ " . If Gideon was ACTUALLY psychic, he'd know what Stan's real name is.
Don’t know if anyone has mentioned it yet but telekinesis is a vastly overlooked and utterly broken power if you 1. know enough about physics and 2. understand that details and specificity are important. Depending on variables such as precision, “power output”, concentration, etc… you could interact with individual atoms, the things you could do with them, terrifying. Example, rip them apart particle by particle… or force them to vibrate… creating friction. So technically, if you’re telekinetic, you can simulate pyrogenesis (fire creation) and pyrokinesis. (moving fire with 🧠) and tbh? You can take it even further! Telekinesis is well and truly more broken than people give credit to. This was my TED talk, thank you.
Gideon is voiced by Thurop van Orman who is also voiced the titular character of the Cartoon Network series The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. Many 2010s cartoon creators got their start working on Flapjack including Alex Hirsch (Gravity Falls), J.G. Quintel (Regular Show), and Pendelton Ward (Adventure Time).
I knew that Pen Ward worked on Flapjack, but had no idea about quintel and hirsch. That makes so much sense, though. Flapjack definitely has their fingerprints all over it.
the reason why they're saying to watch the end credits is not what's happening with the animation. It's the code messages after the credits. You should look up what each message says since people have already decoded them.
Gideon is voiced by Thurop Van Orman the creator and voice of Flapjack from marvelous misadventures of flapjack which was a show that Alex Hirsch was also working on before gravity falls
This title is inspired by a film called “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle” a 1992 thriller where I woman poses as a nanny in order to get back at the woman she believes is responsible for her husband’s death. (It’s much darker than this small run down. But I can’t share all the details.)
Such a good horror epsidoes. It contains many classics from the genre, and underlying it is something that is real life scary: pressure and dating violence. A great set up for this villian
If I’m following the schedule of every Tuesday correctly, I think that would mean you’ll post episode 11 on Halloween, but it would be so perfectly timed if you posted episode 12 then lol
They finally showed another journal and you guys are now curious about it and the author! I'm excited to see your thoughts on the rest of the story and the clues/hints about the answer to the mysteries.
Cool fun fact: Wendy is canonically Bi and was supposed to name a girl as well when she listed people she broke up with. But in typical Disney fashion they didn't allow it.
Spoilers (but not really, never stated in the show) Gideons amulet has a corrupting property driving the wielder insane and making their hair white, it was hidden behind an elementary or middle school (all info found in irl journal 3)
So i knew this episode was kinda big in lore wise with the end revealing that gideon got his amulet with the help of journal 2 so i literally have to set up an alarm just to wake up and watch this live preimier hahaha but cant wait for next weeks episode
I'm glad you're enjoying the humour in this show. Alex Hirsch made sure that every script is top notch, after so many years since the show aired, it's safe to say he succeeded beyond our expectations!! 9:14 Guess you guys were so into figuring out Gideon that you missed out a "dude" for your Soos counter!
I will gonna say it again there are messages in the credits section witch hide lore without spoiling the story I really wanna see you guys read em Also a small thing u guys missed if you pause the intro at the right frame you will actually see big foot
It was explained by the author of the journals, that the mystic amulet gives psychic powers, but it corrupts your soul and turns your hair white. He only hid the amulet, but since Gideon found journal 2, it’s no surprise that he found the amulet. (Explained In the black light edition of Journal 3)
This is kind of a spoiler so if y’a don’t wanna know don’t read it. It’s a theory I have though. It won’t make sense unless you’ve seen the second season I think Stan new Gideon wasn’t psychic the moment he called him Stanford
"There are several books." Duh. Seeing the first book with a 3 on the cover and vol. 3 on the first page in episode 1 should have told you that. Sorry if I sound like fan that knows it all, I'm not, I've only seen 6 episodes.
Hand that rocks the cradle. The phrase is about the influence women supposedly wield in the world because they raise the next generation of adults. That has nothing to do with this episode it's just a pun.

@@tycol322still very very strange to be into that imo
Don't worry. I highly doubt anyone will look at Gideon and think: "He's a role model."
Unless if the person who does already has issues to begin with.
But Patrick Star taught me that "No, means yes"
(Fr tho. No means no 😂)

The amulet was only one, and its ancient artifact. It was very powerful and dangerous, author of journals buried the amulet once he discovered that the amulet corrupts soul of the user and whitens hair
ohhh that explains the hair
But Mabel also used it.
@@stormywolfhowls She didn't use it enough to corrupt her
@@artloveranimationyea bc before I read this I was like why does he have white hair id he that old? Or did he dye it
@@Mylifeartwork14I assumed it was like a Malfoy situation. Like white-blonde hair, and the animators just used white to keep it simple

No genuine murder attempts before now? I think the wax figures would beg to differ.
@@MattTOB618 Well, I'd say there's a difference between *monsters* trying to kill the protagonists and an actual *person* trying to kill them.
@@kyzer42 I suppose McGucket doesn't count either, then? I know his intention wasn't murder, but he _very_ much could've killed them.

Ah yes, Gideon
I have a feeling almost everyone here has met someone like him at one-point irl
just remember everyone it's always okay to say no to a date
The most drop kickable villain of all time
That "Gideon likes Mabel" counter is gonna go WAY up during the series! XD

Great message for this episode.

Same with dipper being trans
@@ninjafalls1739 Not really
Meanwhile, Disney is happily promoting Gravity Falls in their selection of "LGBTQ" cartoons. They shot down so much LGTBQ stuff from Hirsch!
the amount of fighting alex had to do with disney for the most MINOR representation is so depressing man

Are we not gonna talk about how Gideons necklace and Odalia's necklace (owl house) have a lot of similarities? No? Alright 👍
Spoilers (but not really, never stated in the show)
Gideons amulet has a corrupting property driving the wielder insane and making their hair white, it was hidden behind an elementary or middle school (all info found in irl journal 3)
So after the show ends maybe Gideon might actually be a decent person again
@@tycol322 he was improving slightly already
Kenny's shirt is amazing 😂
I was looking for a comment like this! I think I want one for myself
Funny how they watch the credits and still manage to miss the code

There're some great horror references in this series. "The club" here is a great reference to the Black Lodge in Twin Peaks.
18:54: Yup! Gideon is not only a creep, but he's a little baby psychopath!
"This is my wife, Montana."
Feels good, doesn't it my dude?
the best in fact
I AM SO EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEK! Probably one of my top 3 episodes in the first season! I'm so happy you guys are watching this show!
And the plot thickens just a widdle ol’ bit.
5:38 ok that Jenna jumpscare has me busting up laughing that’s as so unexpected lmaoooo
Bro has the mind stone as necklace 😂

Also a small thing u guys missed if you pause the intro at the right frame you will actually see big foot
when I was in middle school I spent so much time decoding the messages, searching for easter eggs, reading the books. A1Z26 cipher boy
I hope you guys caught the code in the credits!
I don't think they did.
What's the code say?
Okey, nothing to do with the episode, BUT Kenny's shirt is the best thing I have seen today!
Every time you say things about wanting to see something, I be like 😐😐😐 just to keep spoilers to myself.
3:07 Editor Gabe was so real for this lol
I really wanna see y'all do the codes for every ep. Yall are so smart so i would love to see yall do cryptograms. Maybe in a seperate video?
Fun detail in the intro, their is something hidden in the frame by frame of the woods after the footprints.
Gideon is based off a pastor from the 70’s and 80’s who was a massive scam artist. He was also known for his blue suit
I wonder if they noticed during the end credits yet.
My favorite part of this episode is how Mabel protected the lobster from the macaw.
Will you be watching the dragon prince ever again on the channel?
15:21 literally society of the blind eye
The editing cracks me up💀😂😂
“He’s like a politician” Foreshadow counter +1

There are actually prop replicas of the journals you guys should buy one😊😊😊😊😊😊

Gideon makes me think of a overly showmany version of Christian televangelists like Billy Graham
im obsessed with the taylor swift eras tour tshirt you’re wearing
4:12 ...YES YOU WENT BACK NVM
What weirds me out is all those grown women fighting over the cape of an 8 year old (8? Or maybe 9? I don't actually know.)
This is kind of a spoiler so if y’a don’t wanna know don’t read it. It’s a theory I have though. It won’t make sense unless you’ve seen the second season
I think Stan new Gideon wasn’t psychic the moment he called him Stanford
Wendy was confirmed to be bisexual and when she was naming those names one of them was meant to be a girls name.
4:36 Catscratch confirmed 😂!
The raccoon shirt is everything :0
6:32 Dipper is reading Journal 2 what the hell? I recently noticed this. How did they get that wrong?
the eras tour merch is so superior
I was just rewatching Jenna marbles videos! what a crazy coincidence that you mentioned her jaja
love Kenny's shirt XD
Don’t get your hopes up with the gravity stuff until next season
Meet little Gideon.
AOT Part 3 released English Dub
He has telekinesis not telepathy
Can someone give me a link or a soundbite of their version of the opening theme? It sounds so cool.
THE ERAS TOUR SHIRT HAHAHA
You guys keep missing the secret codes in the credits!!!
There was a movie in 1992 called "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle." The plot is totally different from this episode.
It took me a while to realize why Kenny’s shirt looks familiar 😂 is Kenny a swiftie?
Gideon reminds me of Tibbles from the Owl House
i hate gideon being a little creep, but “enchanting… utterly enchanting” is hilarious
and "HAIRR~ HAIRR~"
Play the intro backwards on the last few seconds
15:14
15:15
Dam gideon

Have they noticed the Bigfoot in the intro yet?
