For those wondering: T.J Eckleberg is mentioned only twice in the Great Gatsby. Both times, he appears as an advertisement on a billboard or something similar, massive eyes looking over the city and staring down at it. Watching it all. The correlation between them and Bill is clear.

[@agentduck9285]

I don't know really if it's an analogy for bill, since the theme it's often associated with is 'judgement'. It could possibly be an analogy for the fact that bill is not as all powerful as he attempted to appear, himself having to answer to somebody else.

@@agentduck9285 You're looking too deep, we're not in English class right now, you don't need to over analyze to this degree. The *BILL* board has eyes, Bill is literally the all seeing eye, the association being made here is really not that deep

[@pancakes8670]

TJ Eckleberg in the story is an Eye Doctor, with his billboard advertising his services. The billboard depicts his big blue eyes, and is pointed out as watching over the city and the characters. The most popular interpretation of this part in the book is that it's symbolic of God looking down and judging the characters and their actions.

[@dx.feelgood5825]

lol he so would

[@totorokochan]

That's hilarious! I also think many themes in the Great Gatsby tie in pretty closely with Bill's life. Gatsby is a compulsive liar who lied so much he's even started to believe the lies himself. He's charismatic. He came from humble beginnings but has built up a powerful fake identity. He's haunted by the past and is obsessed with achieving his goals. He dies in the end.

[@dx.feelgood5825]

With how Mat and Steph actually met Alex during Game Theory’s St Jude stream, and how fucking ballistic the Gravity Falls reddit went with how Mat and Alex shake hands, theorizing Mat and Bill struck a deal, for Mat to be in one of the videos on This Is Not A Website is simultaneously poetic, charming, and kinda terrifying if the Reddit was actually right…

[@OGseoulite]

Holy Shit having MattPatt become Bill would be such a fucking twist because let’s say if it became cannon that he was possessed by Bill, then we can easily look through all his theories and paint the out as Bill taking over Matt in real life cause Bill is always on his mind- and you can’t kill an idea- ideas are not physical. That would mean in the meta world (our real life world- Matt has been posting theories to throw us off via Bill’s control over his mind) and because ideas are METAphysical & can’t be killed- OH MY GOD WAIT- WAAAAIIIT!!! THAT ADDS EVEN MORE TO MY MATTPATT THEORY CAUSE IF MATT WAS POSSESSED BY BILL SO THAT HE CAN STAY ALIVE! “A NEW FORM, ANOTHER TIME” DOESN’T GUARANTEE MEAN HE WOULD BECOME ANOTHER SHAPE- WHAT IF HE BECOMES HUMAN??!?

Guess what Cartoonshi, T.J. Eckleburg is not a character in The Great Gatsby. In the book, there’s a giant billboard for an abandoned optometrist’s office (eye doctor) and the doctor is T.J.

Highkey I kind of love the idea of the ultimate punishment for reprehensible beings isn't eternal torture, but no-ways-around-it therapy. That's kind of brilliant.

[@gregvs.theworld451]

@@sarafontanini7051 Possibly. Might depend on who is deemed eligible for reincarnation. Sounds like the Thera-prism might not have been an option for Bill had he not invoked the Axolotl's name in a last ditch bid to bargain for his life. Makes me imagine some, if not most beings die unless in the Hirsch-verse everyone's final destination is the Thera-prism. Maybe this is just the optimist in me, but I do think that, given infinite time, even the worst people and characters, fictional or real, probably could get better given infinite time and patience and support. If there was truly nothing to do than therapy... I dunno, perhaps even Belos would resign himself since whatever happens after would at least be different than an eternity of being stubborn about doing therapy. Could some people hold out a long, long time? Probably. But for eternity, when the option to leave is available just for getting it over with? I'd like to think Thera-prism would work on most, if not all, people eventually.

[@wildfire9280]

11:39 Why _The Great Gatsby_ in its entirety? I think that is easy to answer. Color theory. In Gatsby, different colors were associated with things and if my memory serves -- old money, new money and toxic positivity (rose colored glasses, represented in Gatsby via the billboard). Rather than being told the same color association applies, I think we are supposed to infer that color theory is afoot and probably in ways we can start identifying specific association.

What all this amounts to is that Alex Hirsch is a MASTER of world building. His ficitional world is so detailed its spills into the real world. You can TOUCH Alex Hirsch's world building. You can interact with his world directly. You can practically TALK TO THE CHARACTERS. Alex Hirsch is one of the most talented writers of our generation, and even with all the praise he's gotten I feel like he still doesn't get anywhere NEAR the amount of hype he deserves.

7:56 🎶a cuuuuuube of darkness, a little cuuuube of darkness 🎶

[@donovan802]

So here’s my thoughts on a movie: For one, this would be a long time coming for fans, even though most people consider the full 2 hour version of Weirdmageddon a movie itself. And while I would thoroughly enjoy insight into the characters and their lives following the summer, my main question is if Bill would need to return at all. With how defining he became for the show, him not being there in some capacity would be kinda disappointing. For him to physically come back would probably be difficult as I doubt a movie would focus on him being defeated by Dipper and Mabel if he dies as fast as he returns - I don’t think that does him justice and sounds like a more rushed Weirdmageddon 2.0. For Bill to come back, someone who has no clue who he is has to shake his statue’s hand, and the only people I could think of would be one of Dipper and Mabel’s parents (one of the them takes their frustration to Gravity Falls, shakes Bill’s hand out of curiosity, and he agrees to fix their relationship without context as to what he wants…). Not the most fleshed out, I know, but as hilarious and deep as Bill going to therapy was (which side note, if the Core is there, wondering if Belos is there too…), him coming back as a reformed being probably wouldn’t work in a movie because, and this is just my thought process, (A) a lot of people prefer him as an irredeemable villain and, (B) even if people were okay with that, I doubt Dipper and Mabel would buy anything Bill says and justifiably assume he’s lying, even if he is genuinely trying to be nice. It’s a lot to consider, so if anyone has ideas for a potential movie, please feel free to share.

[@holmanthehorror6127]

I think it would be better to expand the universe with new characters, in this case new foes, then pigeonhole the universe into revolving around Bill. I’d like to see a new villain in a hypothetical sequel.

6:55 making him both unforgivable and Pitiful, a great villian can be sympathic too just typically they might not reach enough of an impact as one who crosses the line, like a person would, Bill is humanized by being Pitiful he isn't some force of nature unable to control his actions, he is incompetent, pathetic horrible individual, he chose to ruin his life but that isn't really far off from a person too can do. just happens he is a cautonary tell, of what not to do in life and that is what can also make a great villian serving the themes through being a monster and a monster you cry for not with.

[@tomsundaram2981]

The Great Gatsby is done a great disservice in being forced on kids as a chore to read, when how it should be taught at first is by someone who loves the book - which is actually quite short, by book standards - reading it to the students *out loud.* The book's beauty is as much in how it SOUNDS to read it as in the plot or characters themselves, inseparably. Making a kid read it impersonally without love is a poison pill for its value, when it really calls out to some really universal realities of prejudicial inertia, love as need vs. love as gift, and the way that both the perpetrators and victims of prejudice are harmed, not just by the act and treatment, but by the moral injury involved. I do suggest that needing to be tricked into reading it is very sad, because it means that it has not been taught by someone who wants to convey a love for its meaning.

3:21 Okay, you probably won't read it anyways, but. **Inhales** T. J.

16:20 not to mention being taken to cotton eye joe when typing mcgucket lol

[@gonzalitorg5124]

I had an idea about a extreme soft sequel of gravity falls. *GEOMETRIC ADVENTURES* Where Bills reincarnates in a 3d dimension and with little memories of what hapend, becoming a truly new entity.

[@airconditionedstudios1011]

the matpat cameo is funny because gravity falls always comes back

[@bookkwyrm]

To me, the ending is not just him in denial that he lost, but in complete denial that he himself could ever change, could ever be anything other than the monster he's been since [redacted] euclydia

[@Kurtizss]

if I remember correctly, someone already shook their hand back at the final hours of The Cipher Hunt

[@cassi3879]

the great gatsby as a gag is such a perfect reference for the book of bill, outside of the eckleberg eye reference in the book- a focus in the novel is nick being an unreliable narrator (which is the epitome of bill in his book) and his romanticization of gatsby as this mysterious and perfect man, the same way bill does with ford. such a beautiful reference on alex’s part

[@Insertusernamerighthere]

Im so excited for “The Great Gravity”

[@hmmmstvethebaffled7720]

It would be awesome if Gravity falls did what samurai jack did. Like, maybe ten more years in the future, a movie or new show is released (not season 3!) where we see Dipper and Mabel grown up. It could be a more mature project that delves deeper into everyone's character, and of course, more mysteries and adventures. That's what I'd love to see

[@dripku6683]

This would've been the perfect time for MatPat to be here😭

[@dragondogedinogaming5219]

I was waiting for you to make a vid about this 🙏

[@User_Az_0]

5:16 is wild

[@cokomishi]

the news from the uk looks insane. stay safe buddy

[@kevreid82]

How have i not heard of this before? Even before this video was over i ordered the book.

[@the-dramatic-nerd]

There will never be a season 3 but that doesn’t mean we won’t get more animated projects in this universe. Still wish they made a third season and had the finale just pushed to season 3 because there was clearly so much more content left and it pains me to see that it was just so stressful on the staff and team that they had to end it when they did. Still a great ending though but you can tell they had more ideas they didn’t get to share.

[@jemjimjam5444]

This is actually so exciting. I’m not one of the best problem solvers out there but I get so thrilled seeing all the stuff people have found. I really hope to see more Gravity Falls content in the future though I agree with Hirsch here. That finale was perfect and we do not need a season three

[@hgmd3284]

that twitter account reminds me of the twitter account offically made by the alien isolaton team to tease isolation by having the acount post tweets from the point of view of a sevastapol decommisoner before the events of the game take place, and his untimley death from the xenomorph. you can acually find him early on in the game near a locker that he posted the code to on the twitter account.

11:51 Okay, so it took me a good while to find, but the "SO! MANY! QUESTIONS!" message is almost certainly a reference to a line from some of the Commercial Break bumpers that played for airings of _Gravity Falls_ on Disney XD. This video has them, and I linked it timestamped to the first instance where it plays: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaizdZ5rrsitadEsi=f-PD2Jkr9AOmNGka&t=51

[@liamphibia]

The absolute absurd creativity from the Book of Bill is astonishing in every way. Let's hear it for the one and only Alex Hirsch!

[@retroclassicpablo]

4:38 baby bill

[@robloxgirlwithadog]

Lalalalala

[@WhenDidYouTubeAddThisFeature]

As someone who read The Great Gatsby as part of my senior year's AP English class and later bought the book for fun because I genuinely enjoyed it, seeing Bill render the Valley of Ashes into a LITERAL VALLEY OF ASH AND DUST MEN was fucking hilarious! Of course, Nick was the borderline mute third wheel as always! 🤣
