History BrokenBase / GravityFalls

--->'''Wendy''': Mabel's a straight up saint, you judgmental hoofbag!

* By far, the biggest source of BrokenBase in the fanbase is [[spoiler: Stanley quickly recovering his memories after his HeroicSacrifice in the GrandFinale]]. Half of the fanbase sees it as a cheap AssPull that was rushed into the narrative [[spoiler:to give Stanley a happy ending]] and felt that [[spoiler: Stanley losing his memories for real would have being much more powerful]], while the other half are fine with it, thinking the alternative would be too depressing and wouldn't fit with the tone of the ending (not to mention, for all of his edginess ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' is still a Creator/{{Disney}} cartoon) and are glad that [[spoiler: Stanley [[EarnYourHappyEnding earned his happy ending after everything he has being through]]. ]]

* The resolution of the Bill Cipher Zodiac mystery in the GrandFinale is controversial. [[spoiler: It turns out it was an ancestral ritual to vanquish Bill but ends up being a RedHerring since Stan and Ford end up fighting in the middle of it and ruin the ritual, so they have to defeat him by another means.]] Depending on the fan, this was a huge cop out that made one of the most popular sources of WildMassGuessing in the series completely pointless or is a brilliant subvertion of expectations and think [[spoiler: the actual Climax of the series fits more with the show than everything getting resolved by a mere CircleOfFriendship.]]

* At the end of "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future", fans became divided over [[spoiler: who among the protagonists is at fault for the rift breaking (figuratively and literally): Is Ford liable when he [[PoorCommunicationKills insisted in not communicating the danger to anyone but Dipper]], and not applying the adhesive immediately to the Rift? Is Dipper responsible for not talking with Mabel and getting her input before making a life-changing decision that would obviously impact her too? Or is Mabel accountable for getting mad at Dipper for exercising his right to decide his own future, and for trying to freeze Gravity Falls in time so she wouldn't have to deal with her problems? Even [[OutOfFocus Stan]] has been brought into the debate, since he's the one who indirectly created the Rift in the first place.]]
* After "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future", [[spoiler:some fans see Dipper and Mabel's relationship previous to Ford's arrival as the ideal sibling relationship that they should be trying to return to, and see Ford's offer for Dipper to live with him separately from Mabel as a horrible thing (since their refreshing, loving, non-squabbling sibling team-up is one of the things that drew people into the show). Others interpret Ford's offer as him trying to provide a way for Dipper to [[http://phantomalchemy.tumblr.com/post/131088038778/a-lot-of-people-are-upset-with-stanfords-offer-to grow out of the pattern of unhealthy co-dependence and identity issues]] that being a twin has given both him and his sister--something Stan and Ford didn't manage to do peacefully, hence their awful relationship as adults.]]

While ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' is a well loved show, there are some parts of it that fans feel divisive about.
