History DethroningMoment / GravityFalls

* Tropers/{{MelancholyUtopia}}: There’s just one major DMOS for this troper in “Bottomless Pit”. The majority of the episode was really funny and creative but Mabel’s story was so stupid and offensive on every possible level. I don’t even know what the writers were thinking when they came up with the moral in that short. Sure, we all have different morals regarding lying, but the way they displayed the message made it look like that being honest is all about blurting out all of your opinions to every ear out there and not keeping them to yourself. On top of that, Mabel lying so Stan wouldn’t get arrested for something [[KarmaHoudini he truly deserved]] was apparently a good thing. I mean, what the hell? Alex Hirsch, I won't sympathize with a character who commits vandalism on a regular basis, and I certainly won't be happy for him when he escapes any punishment; it's enough of it happening here in the real world, thanks. Yeah, [[spoiler: he was kicked out of his home at 18 and had to resort to cheap ways to make money]], but that doesn't make it anymore okay! A crime is a crime, whether a good or bad person committed it! What got my blood boil was Dipper saying: "It was for everyone's best." Define 'everyone', Dipper? Do you mean everyone or just you? And how is it best? You're regularly letting your great uncle commit crime, and I can assure you it's not "best" for any victim of such antics or society in general when people like him exist! Don't hide him up just because you're family! I swear, I've never wanted to punch a cartoon character so hard in the face since [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Brian]]. Ever since then, I've disliked Dipper (and also Mabel at the end of the series), stopped liking the show at all due to their mostly crappy morals, unethical characters and the annoying hype it's getting. I'm one of the few who wasn't sad when it ended.
** Mudapa: It seems in the show that Dipper always get punished for his shortcomings. Example? The first story, "Voice Over" has characters blant make fun of Dipper's voice cracks. [[SarcasmMode Because, no one goes through that before.]] Even worse, is that they make a song out of it. I would expect this from [[GrumpyOldMan Stan]] or [[CheerfulChild Mabel]] but, [[NiceGuy Soos]] and [[SatelliteLoveInterest Wendy]]?! His Friends?! I love this show, but, it's just too mean at times.

* DrScarcilier: While I think a lot of people will agree this show is amazingly good, this page demonstrates it does have its flaws and the biggest one for me is the Mabel segment in The Last Mabelcorn. So when Grunkle Ford sends Mabel to get some unicorn hair to protect the shack from Bill Cipher as she is the most pure out of all of them and only the most pure of heart can get it. Okay. When they get there the unicorn says that Mabel is not completely pure of heart (which is kind of valid as she does make fun of Dipper a whole lot and she has done a few bad things in the series such as forcing Dipper to along with her antics of "I must get a summer boyfriend" and putting herself above him) and tells her to come back when she is pure. So Mabel and Candy, Grenda, and Wendy try to get Mabel pure again by doing good deeds all throughout town. Alright. Then at the end it turns out it was all a ruse meant to make humans leave the unicorns alone. What the hell? It just came out of nowhere. Not only that but than they go and pretty much say Mabel is the purest of pure when we all know while she is a nice person, she could definitely use some work in the pure department (in Wendy's words "Mabel's a straight up saint, you judgmental hoofbag!"). It's like the writers were saying to the audience "Screw you, guys! We love Mabel! She's perfect in every way! If you don't like it, you can kiss our butts! We don't need to improve her at all! Nyeh!". Oh and to demonstrate how pure and perfect she is, Mabel and her friends beat all of the unicorns to bloody pulps to get the fur. (Sure they deserved it but come on). If there were any doubts that Mabel gets a lot of CharacterShilling, this episode can put those doubts to rest.

* Tropers/{{insanefandomchild}}: For me, it's in 'Boyz Crazy', Wendy's response was vaguely irritating to me. Although whether Robbie was actually trying to mind-control her is left ambiguous, Dipper clearly believed that was Robbie's intention. Whilst Wendy was justified in getting angry that Dipper tried to ask her out immediately after breaking up with Robbie, the fact that she wasn't at all thankful that Dipper intervened, or at least acknowledged that he had a legitimate concern. After all, to him it appeared that Robbie had hypnotised Wendy, before taking her to a secluded location, ''after'' lying to her about whether or not they would be alone. Even if Dipper's motive was less than noble, Wendy should have acknowledged that Dipper had very possible intervened in a dangerous situation.

* greensquid22: The 90s were dark times line in Dungeons Dungeons and More Dungeons. The whole little bit there felt like a big shot at 90 s' kids. Firstly it treats the [=DDaMD=] commercial from the 90's as if is the only decade to try and be YoungerAndHipper. Hey, guess what it's not. Not even close. That concept is as old as fiction itself and not every commercial in the 90's was like that. I can understand getting annoyed at some dorks on the internet telling you their childhood was better than yours' but telling people that their childhoods took place in a dark time on a professionally made tv show is unforgivable. That's something I'd expect a Youtube commenter to say, not a tv show. Hey news flash, not everyone born in that decade thinks they're better than you and don't like having their childhoods insulted just because you got annoyed on a chat forum. I like this show but I am severely turned off by the immaturity of this statement.

* CapriciousSalmon: Before you get up in arms, I think "A Tale of Two Stans" is a great episode, and I love the bit where Ford tries to see if Stan is possessed by Bill in the flashback. The DMOS for me has to be at the end where Ford tells Stan that once the summer ends, he's kicking him out of the house and taking his name back. I loved that addition, but in the grand scheme of things, it felt like a {{BigLippedAlligatorMoment}}. I hate how it never comes up again because it honestly could've given Dipper and Mabel more of a divide or given Dipper some tension with Bill. But the kids never learn of it, Ford never mentions it to Dipper, and they never make the point if Ford was really serious or he just said it out of resentment. A problem I have with Season 2B is it felt like an entire season crammed into 13 less episodes, and this was the biggest case of it.
