I don't know if anyone posted about this yet, and I realized I hadn't....
I'd like to point out Grunkle Stan's view of Dipper, mostly as seen through Little Gift Shop of Horrors. We all know Dipper has, or had, the tendency to scream/run, rather than flat-out punching his enemies. Yet, in all three stories (most notably Hands Off), Dipper's first instinct was to punch! If it was Stan telling all these stories, what does that say about what he thinks of Dipper?
I know in Northwest Mansion Mystery, Dipper was pretty bold, but I don't think that attitude was really obvious/out there until that episode.
Whatcha think? Am I just imagining things, or do you think an episode like Little Gift Shop of Horrors reflects Stan's view of Dipper?
