Gravity Falls Season 2 Episode 11 & 12 GROUP REACTION

[@Error45699]

Remember how distraught stan was when his wax replica was murdered

[@Ash1627]

I just thought he was insane

[@notafan2480]

Wait, I never realized this and now I'm sad.💀

[@nintendoswitch2927]

​@@notafan2480 I don't get it

[@byronus1898]

Not only that but how much he freaked out when he first saw it..

[@adityafahreza2164]

​@@nintendoswitch2927he misses his brother

[@Ash1627]

13:30 Stan said “please” which is something he hates to say which really shows he was being completely genuine

[@SilverScribe85]

That's a reference to the game show on Boss Mabel

[@Mirthful_Panda]

15:57 that’s probably because Ford is voiced by JK Simmons’s AKA “I want pictures of Spider-Man!” himself 😂

[@Dap_S_]

He’s also Omni-Man which may be why

[@firemiracle]

14:22 and thus… that was the moment when gravity falls changed forever 😳 Also Fun fact, weeks before the episode Not What He Seems came out, so many fans were agreeing about the theory of Stan having a brother. This actually worried the show’s creator Alex Hirsch so much because he really wanted the reveal to be a huge shocker for the fans. So what he did, he made a freaking fake leak screenshot of McGucket being the author and it’s what made the fans believe that the stan brother theory was no longer true. And once the episode finally came out, it really got the fans by surprise 😆 And ford, my gosh what an awesome addition to the show! And jk Simmons being his VA makes it more better 😁

[@TheCartoonConnoisseur]

The codes for the end pages are as follows: "Thirty years and now he's back. The mystery in the Mystery Shack" and "A stubborn tough New Jersey native. Filbrick wasn't too creative. Having twins was not his plan. So he just shrugged and named both Stan"

[@Mirthful_Panda]

It’s THE episodes that answers multiple questions fans have been having!

[@EChacon]

"Not What he Seems" was quite the gamechanger that changed the course of _Gravity Falls_ and later episodes of Season 2 forever. The FBI agents led by FBI Nick Offerman arrest Stan before he was going to tell The Twins The truth, leading to the chain of events when the Pine Twins and also Soos discover the dark secrets of Grunkle Stanford Pines and the Secrets and lies he's been hiding. Now I can understand that Dipper had the right to being furious and angry at Grunkle Stan for lying to him, Mabel and Soos and everyone and the secrets he's been keeping, although I hate to be blunt but Dipper was literally overreacting and "jumping the gun" that the Portal was a "Doomsday" bomb that was set to destroy Gravity Falls and the world while telling Mabel to shut it off and almost was agreeing with Nick Offerman and the FBI Agents and especially disowning Grunkle Stan. Now was it wrong that Grunkle Stan changed names and especially kept secrets and lies from the Twins? Yes Was it wrong that Grunkle Stan stole Government waste to power the Portal in the Bunker? Yes However, I have to agree on Stan that most of his actions weren't out of malicious intent, yeah he lied and was a scam artist but as he said, Stan was going to tell the Pine Twins the truth before the FBI Agents apprehend him and that the portal he constructed in the basement was to bring back the author of the Journals, later revealed to be his long lost brother, so I'm honestly glad Mabel didn't press the button and reluctantly trusted Grunkle Stan's words because if she had done it, Grunkle Stan would've been arrested, the Author of the Journals (his long lost brother) would've been stuck on the other side and the later episodes wouldn't have existed completely. I also really appreciate "Tale of Two Stans" as it explores the backstory and relationship between Stanford (the author of the Journals) and Stanley (Grunkle Stan’s real name) as brothers that dealt with fractured-strained relationships and heartbreak along with how Grunkle Stan took over the Mystery Shack. Lastly, I didn’t realize when I first watch this episode that Stanford and Stanley’s father was voiced by friggin Jonathan Banks who played Mike Ehrmantraut in _Breaking Bad_ and _Better Call Saul._ Literally whoever got him and especially Nick Offerman and Nathan Fillion on _Gravity Falls_ be it Alex Hirsch or the voice director of the show must had a lot of money and negotiations to bring these actors particularly Nick Offerman and Nathan Fillion on board considering their A-list status.

[@ItchyBurritoMiniAltThingy]

Don't forget Neil-Degrasse-Tyson in the Halloween episode! Lotso great peoples

[@EChacon]

@@ItchyBurritoMiniAltThingy True and also Alfred Molina along with John Oliver, the late Larry King and the late Coolio. But Neil Degrasse Tyson doesn’t compare to Nick Offerman, Nathan Fillion and Jonathan Banks, especially the former two a-list actors appearing in a Disney animated series and their first and only time that I see Nick and Nathan participating in a Disney animated cartoon. Literally the only Disney animated shows that could possibly rival this or is on par with the A-list guest stars that appeared in _Gravity Falls_ are _Phineas and Ferb, Randy Cunningham, Tangled the Series_ and the _DuckTales (2017 series)_ and in the latter series, that had Giancarlo Esposito.

[@BatmanFan76]

Stan having a twin brother is definitely another best reveal of the show. Even better, Ford is voiced by JK Simmons. Yeah, the same actor that played J. Jonah Jameson and Omni-Man. It’s ultimately amazing.

[@EChacon]

J.K. Simmons also was Tenzin in _The Legend of Korra_ and the voice of the Yellow M&M in the M&M’s commercials.

[@evanrosman9226]

That was smart of Stan to pay a taxi driver to drive away from the mystery shack.

[@bigbadbrock9512]

Fun Fact Mable was wearing a key sweature to show she was the key of this ep because she trusted Stan

[@joshuatewolde1837]

“WHO Is THAT?!” “The AUTHOR Of The Journals…… MY Brother!”

[@kaylagaymon4873]

The ending surprised everybody. Stan has a twin brother and he's the author of the journals 😲😲😲😱😱😱

[@sabreejohnson1551]

Dipper: “Oh, no. Stan, you didn’t.” Mabel: “Don’t panic. That could be anyone in that suit.” (Stan hits his foot) Stan: “Aah! Hot Belgian waffles! Wait. I’m alone. I can swear for REAL. (Inhales) SON OF A-!” (Dipper turns TV off) Dipper: “That’s him alright.” 8:04 That part always gets me in this episode.😂😂👏 Both were amazing btw. Every question fans have been asking while watching them.

[@sebastiantrias1529]

Oh yes, the long awaited two-parter that answer most of your questions.

[@Mirthful_Panda]

14:22 Remember in Society of the Blind Eye when you said “I bet the visiting researcher is actually Stan” I mean….you were almost right 😂

[@kaylagaymon4873]

21:51 I can't stop laughing at Dipper's high-pitched screaming about the journal being made 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Ash1627]

I don’t blame him I’d be reacting the exact same way

[@craigharvey-gurr337]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MasterBuilderDragon]

Look up the fan made comic “Dipper’s Superpower” by markmak 😂

[@tritran5095]

In journal 3 describes detail Stanford’s 30 years journey through dimensions, he was so close to kill Bill but Stanley opened the portal and pull him back that why Stanford so angry when he united with Stanley !!!

[@Otisboy121]

Aaaaaaaah. That explains a lot.

[@tritran5095]

@@Otisboy121 his 30 years journey could totally be a great spinoff story

[@joshuasanchez3133]

WAIT REALLY!!!?

[@josephreinerth9152]

Ya, and the fact he took the risk of turning the portal back on when Bill could've gotten out, Stan was just lucky that only Ford got out. But, if it weren't for Stanley, Ford would've never found out more about Bill and his weaknesses, he would've never meet the oracle who helped him put the metal plate in his head, and he would've never been able to finish the quantum destabiliser.

[@toxicghost58]

Fun Fact: Ford is voiced by J.K. Simmons, who also voiced Kai in "Kung Fu Panda 3"! The Stan episode also had no commercial breaks when it first aired.

[@EChacon]

J.K. Simmons also was J. Jonah Jameson in _Spider-Man_ Omni-Man in _Invincible_ Tenzin in _The Legend of Korra_ and the voice of the Yellow M&M in the M&M’s commercials.

[@andreworihuela5175]

I still remeber watching this when this first aired was so shocked and satisfied with the reveal of the author, Alex Hirsch planned this out from the very beginning not only to truly have the perfect climax to start the story's endgame but we have all the evidence before this episode came out. 1.) first episode in the last scene we understand that Stan is hiding something we don't know what but clearly it's a purposal move that Alex Hirsch did. and in the intro in the last frame where you see the cipher wheel there's a code in the right and solving it says "Stan is not what he seems" so now we have the idea that something is being kept locked away. 2.) in the 3rd episode we see that stan is very attached to the wax figure of himself so he feels like he's hoping to see someone. 3.) the Mystery shack itself and details of how the journals are being layed out. The 3rd journal is buried not super far away from the Mystery Shack and while we don't know how Gideon got the 2nd one we get the idea that he's just as clueless as all of us are 4.) The big one with the hidden room that was covered in wall paper, This is someone's room but we don't know who. Then we see Stan take the glasses away clearly this is someone's but who as well. All of these big pieces of evidence that before getting this reveal tells us that the Author is someone close and is literally under their noses the whole time. This is one of the best reveals of all time.

[@minedude2609]

Gideon found the Journal 2 near the GF elementary accidentally. In the Journal 3, it showed the location of the journals.

[@andreworihuela5175]

@@minedude2609 interesting I didn't know that, did Alex Hirsch reveal that in a commentary? because it makes sense but it does feel weird to have Stanford hide it there

[@jaxcraft2848]

YES! The perfect episodes to pair together! These episodes were AMAZING!

[@DrSuperLuigiSeth1]

Lots of Ford’s stuff was foreshadowed already and we didn’t even know it. The snowy house when they were time traveling, Stan's reaction to his wax self being murdered, the fact he knew nothing about the electron carpet, the fact that Gideon and everyone else calls him Stanford when his name is Stanley, etc. “I’m alone. I can swear for real! Son of a-“ I’m so glad Disney allowed that. If Ford sounds familiar, it’s because he’s voiced by JK Simmons! Omni-Man from Invincible, Cave Johnson from Portal 2, Kai from Kung Fu Panda 3, and of course, J. Jonah Jameson from most iterations of Spider-Man media. 24:08 The second journal Ford buried near an elementary school, which Gideon eventually found.

[@wittyreviewer]

Wanna know where Stanford was this whole time? Rick and Morty universe. No joke, in the published version of the journal Ford talks about what he was up to while he was gone and the stuff he mentions is all from Rick and Morty. There was also an ad I think that briefly showed an image of Rick showing Ford his portal gun.

[@jessicamalca]

This was the best episode of Gravity Falls ever

[@Howard0Chris]

A lot of people don't realize that Dipper and Mabel only have 4 fingers. (Yes I'm including the thumb for those who don't think the thumb is considered a finger)

[@SpacialRend7]

And there it is, the big reveal that we’ve been waiting for!

[@Otisboy121]

How this whole series of mysterious events had got started!

[@morganghostbusters-egonfan]

[@BlitzWizard94]

Not What he seems and tale of two stans will forever be one of the best and important episodes in gravity falls history, the feels when they reveal the identity of the author to learning how it all came to me definitely takes me back 8 years ago everyone went wild when this was airing so yeah man the feels are crazy in childhood times, glad you finally saw the origins gravity falls rocks!

[@yashjoseph3544]

4:29 You can see a SWAT truck to the left of the screen. I don't think I've ever seen something like that in a kid's show before.

[@serfling38]

In the journal McGucket saw Bill Cipher removing his own exoskeleton in order to feed, that’s why McGucket invented the Memory Gun to forget seeing that horrible site, McGucket even used the gun on Stanford

[@bobmanperson599]

As someone who had to wait for each new episode growing up, the suspense was killing me. The only criticism I have is that one of the best characters shows up 3/4ths into the show. I don't expect a revival or sequel, but I still want one. I respect Alex Hirsch wanting to conclude it, but I feel robbed by how little screentime JK Simmons/Ford gets.

[@lukescheffe9851]

I trusted him from the picture. If he was only using them as a cover, he wouldn't have put it down there, where nobody but him could see it.

[@nintendoswitch2927]
