It's very satisfying knowing that Cypher never once admitted Stanley as a threat. Bill was always focused on Ford, he never even considered Stanley becoming a potential candidate, in fact it looked like he thought very little almost nothing similar to the rest of the town. Then in Bill's last moments, he realizes his foolish error and with his last angry, words, takes Stanley seriously, realizing he was a formidable threat after all.

He has what can best be described as a nervous breakdown because he is essentially a god, no one has ever bested him like this.

0:36 I love the attention to detail. Without that line, a lot of fans would be asking "Why didn't Bill just call the deal off" He tried to, but failed. And the reason is simple yet logically genius. Because Bill actually got his part first. The deal was that he would let Ford's family go. Not release, *let* *go* . As in, "spare".The only way to do that is not kill them _after_ Weirdmageddon got global. Since he got his part, he couldn't cancel it himself, because then he would be violating it.

[@RenAkakaze]

The MOMENT I first saw this scene, and noticed that the hand Bill shook to enter the mind didn’t have Ford’s extra finger is when I though to myself “Oh, *this* is going to be goooooood.” I may be late as all hell, but this scene is addicting. The Pines may have been able to prevent Bill from getting his way a few times in the past, like when he first entered Stan’s mind and when he possessed Dipper’s body, but all they where doing was delaying the inevitable, minor setbacks for Bill, and he knew this. Here though? The one Pines family member he NEVER considered to be a threat practically escorted this nigh-omnipotent concept *into his own grave,* and he had no way of knowing until it was too little, too late. The one person who he never thought would have the balls to try and stop him ended up being the last crucial link that defeated him so thoroughly that *he wouldn’t even live on as a memory.* Also really glad it hasn’t been flagged “for kids” as most other animated cartoon content has been in recent years just because it’s a cartoon

[@bangbangcan2]

In one of the journals there's something about the memory gun, and how it's effects can be reversed with visual cues relating to the erased memory (which we see with Stan and Mabel's memory book at the end). Psychologically, this means the memory gun doesn't remove memories from memory storage, it interferes with the memory retrieval process (specifically, it must interfere with the extra process used in free recall if stimulus recognition can retrieve "erased" memories). Low memory accessibility gives you the feeling you've forgotten something, but the memory is still in your memory storage (Tulving and Pearlstone, 1966). Therefore, Bill was not erased, he's still ticking away in Stan's memory system.

[@BitrateBilly]

This theory actually makes a lot of sense as well, as we see with the cult using the memory guns, they wiped a ton of memories from the town, as a result they are extremely dumb because they cant remember basic stuff like where they are going and how to do certain stuff, more than likely the guns scramble the ATP in the brain that are used for specific memories, bill being a "dream demon" allows him to traverse the brains neurons and memories, either two things occurred once the weapon was fired: the first possibility is that by Bill being within one of stans memories (his home) and being trapped within it, he effectively was forced to be scattered like traditional ATP and died (or at least became brain dead due to him being punched into molecules) as a result, another possibility is that the gun assumed he was part of the memory retrieval process as he enters stans mind to get the equation to break through the barrier of gravity falls, not to mention that when he tries to escape stans mind, when he tries to use his powers, they are instantly extinguished, meaning the gun is targeting him specifically and will scatter him into particles as a result, which is also why he questions what the hell is happening to him and why hes glitching out (which if you pay attention has bits and pieces of him flying off of his body). While there may be a chance that bill survived the encounter, i feel that since the gun scatters ATP and messes with retrieval processes, Bill has more than likely become braindead and will die once stan dies of old age (bonus theory: is that he dies in this scene, if we are to go by the King (Owl house) is bill cipher theory, gravity falls takes place in 2012, King is canonically 8 years old and the series was released in 2020 with no time date as to when the series takes place and the use of phones and modern tech, we can assume it takes place in 2020, meaning that bills final words did come true and he was reborn as king)

This is one of the most epic endings in animation history. The way Stan among the blue flames just punches him in the face is so epic. Don't change my mind. This time it's actually correct.

[@Tiparium_NMF]

I loved this scene. I wish Disney had had the balls to permanently wipe Stan's mind though.

Actually I agree because I think Stan would get more respect as a person and it just feels more realistic

This is probably the most impressive thing I've ever seen in any show I watched growing up as a kid. Near the end of season 1 we get introduced to bill and his powers, primarily how he can enter people's minds and trespass in their memories, then later on near the beginning/mid point of season 2 we are introduced to the memory gun, a contraption created by Mcguffin capable of destroying memories. I don't think anyone thought about it at the time of how seamlessly these two plot points could interconnect. Then finally at the end of the series we see the pay off of these two seemingly unrelated plot points. And it works so well! This one moment was built up so beautifully and seamlessly and I have never seen anything even come as close to this before.

[@GuukanKitsune]

The way Stanley pulls the picture of himself with Mabel and Dipper out of the flames. Everything in his mindspace is a construct. That picture was his memories of Mabel and Dipper. All his memories are being destroyed, and THOSE are the memories he chooses to pick up and hold tight so they burn last of all, even after his memories of who he is (himself). Those are the memories he clings to hardest. Really tells you just what kind of person Stanley is under that gruff callous appearance.

I saw the switching clothes thing coming, but I'm still in love with the way they defeated Bill. First, it gave a reason for them to be twins. Second, it wasn't the power of love or Bill's redemption or kids suddenly turning into superheroes, no, it was just a smart trick. You could say that Bill would've noticed the lack of an extra finger, but you also could say that he was so confident in himself he didn't look. Brilliant.
