User blog:Ralphini/Idea I had regarding the finale

Like many others, I thought the finale was amazing, but there is one thing I thought of that, in my opinon, might improve it for somepeople, or at least for me Keep in mind that this is just my personal opinion and if yours is different, that’s perfectly fine.

It would be a short addition, maybe around a minute or two, and it wouldn’t change much about what happens before or after.

Basically, the idea would be set during the scene in which Bill is about to kill Dipper or Mabel in front of Stan and Ford. When it’s unsure who he’s going to pick, Mabel nervously and reluctantly decides to sacrifice her life for Dipper’s. This would partially be out of love for her brother and partially be out of guilt for having given away the rift that caused Weirdmageddon. Mabel would then say her goodbyes to her family. Just as she’s about to be killed, Stan would interrupt disguised as Ford and the episode would basically continue like normal.

I feel this may at least partially solve some of the problems some people had with Mabel in the final episodes.
