User blog:DoodleFox/My Top 20 Gravity Falls Season 1 Episodes!

So, hi.

I'm actually a Gravity Falls fanatic like most of you dudes. Fun fact: I sent a fan letter to Mr. Hirsch himself (although I have not gotten a response yet). Some of you may have noticed me on chat, asking if anyone roleplays on there. But enough about me.

So, as of now, I have watched EVERY episode of Gravity Falls (not counting the pilot with the different animation), and I felt it was fair to give my honest opinions on all of the Season 1 episodes.

Now, none of these episodes are BAD. In fact, the creators put alot of their effort in this show that we're lucky to have broadcasting. It's honestly based on my opinions and feelings on the episodes. So, let's start it up at number 20!

I'm gonna get hate for this.

Fight Fighters.

Now, in no means is this a bad episode. This is actually a good one, honestly. But it's some of the stuff in it I don't like.

Now, I know not every episode needs to have a lesson to be learned, but I honestly found none in what I thought would be a lesson-teaching episode. I thought it would be "Don't send others to fight your battles and be brave," or something along those lines. But since I'm young, I don't believe I found what I was looking for.

Then, there's Rumble McSkirmish.

Other than getting a few laughs out of Rumble, even a book based on Gravity Falls basically points out that Rumble is personality-less. Now, you're probably saying, "DoodleFox, if it means you don't like Rumble, does this mean you hate Giffany?" No, because Giffany, despite pretty much being a female Rumble, had a personality and got mores laughs out of me. Rumble, to me, is just "KILLED YOUR FATHER FIGHT FIGHT PUNCH PUNCH."

There's another reason I'm not fond of this episode, but I won't drone on about that. Other than that, I like the episode, but it's not my type.

This was originally at 20 before I found Fight Fighters. And I'm sure people agree with me here.

Dipper VS Manliness.

Before I got introduced to the show, I randomly watched a episode 1 year before I got addicted to the series. And guess what it was? This is the one that made me doubt Gravity Falls before I really liked the show. So, what don't I like?

I found stereotypes in one of the episode's main focuses: The Manotaurs. I do not like these guys. I found their designs kind of unoriginal, and they were sorta jerks. And yes, they were pretty much stereotypes. Give them credit, they didn't make them addicted to sports and pizza, but it's still stereotypical.

I guess there is something good though: the message, or at least the message I found, in the episode, and it's one I really like. It's "You can stand up for what you believe in." And for Dipper, that's not to kill the innocent Multi-Bear. So, if you believe in Gravity Falls being "totally-radical-tubular-some", you can believe in it. You don't have to change your beliefs because people tell you to. In short, that's what saves it from being number 20.
