User blog:WonderRed93/Am I the only who thinks that the S2 ruined Dipper?

Hey. I've just concluded watching Gravity Falls, and I loved it from the beginning to the end... but I had a problem with this show: the protrayal of the protagonist in the second season.

In the first season Dipper was smart and never hesitated in front of dangers, especially when Mabel and Stan were in danger (see Dreamscapers and Gideon Rises) and he always took his responsabilities when he did some mistakes (see Fight Fighters, Summersween and Carpet Diem). But in Season 2... I don't know, while all the other characters got a lot of development in it, I feel like he has been turned into a complete loser. I'll make a list of moments where he's been portrayed like an incompeteant idiot:

-Scary Oak: for his desire to solve GF's misteries he idiotically awakened an army of zombies, getting almost killed in the process. Stan saved him;

-Sock Opera: he got tricked by Bill Cipher and he was stolen of his body. Mabel saved him;

-The society of the blind eye: he almost got his summer memories erased. McGucket saved him;

-Northwest Mansion Mystery: He got woodizied by the ghost of the Northwest Mansion. Pacifica saved him;

-Not what he seems: he was completely wrong about Stan. Thank goodness Mabel did the right thing.

-Dungeons Dungeons & more Dungeons: He and Stanford got caught by Probabilator and almost got their brain eaten. Mabel and Stanley saved them.

-Roadside Attraction: instead of finding a solution to save the situation, he cried like a baby during on the transaporter. Candy saved him.



Now, I know that in a show, the side characters are important and can't be always the protagonist to save the situation... BUT FOR GOODNESS SAKE I DON'T LIKE WHEN A PROTAGONIST IS CONSTANTLY A LOSER WHO CAN'T DO ANYTHING THAT NEITHER PEACH FROM THE MARIO SERIES IS SO STUPID.

Dipper only regained a few points in the final four episodes of the season. But personally not enough to redeem himself for all his incompeteancy in the rest of the season... Those are my feelings about this. Say what you want...
