Gravity Falls

As am I. That is too good a Chekhov's Gun to pass up.

So he didn't know Godeon had the second journal? Explains why he was surprised when he found that Fez Stan had it in his posession.

Sometimes i wonder if Dipper's intelligence isn't just an informed attribute

The twins are pulling a Without A Clue scenario. And how dumb is Dipper? He doesn't even know it.

Dipper is book smart. This has been shown multiple times in the show, one notable time being Little Dipper where he keeps winning at games of strategy and skill against Mabel. He also knows alchemical symbols and the Jin dynasty, and has made references to things like "the greater good" which are high concepts.

However he is incredibly bad with people and street smarts and emotional intelligence. That's Mabel's field.

And together they are one Protagonist. Totally unstoppable working together.

Stan is probably somewhere in between

JULY CONFIRMED!

HYPE INTENSIFIES!!!!

Aw, not June 18th.

Last episode aired in March, so we're two thirds of the way there!

So the latest episode of MLP had a griffon character who's basically Grunkle Stan.

Mabel is basically a unicorn, so they're even. What's that pink horse that's really hyper all the time?

Pinkie Pie.

That's the one. Isn't her personality basically the same?

I'd say Pinkie is a bit more extreme than Mabel... same trope, though. Whatever trope that is.

Genki Girl?

As Pinke in general is less trusting than Mabel.

Hey everybody. I found something weird on the Gravity Falls trope page, so I was wondering if you could help me out with it.

See, on the YMMV page the Gravity Falls teens (Wendy, Lee, Nate, Tambry, and Thompson) are collectively listed as Ensemble Darkhorses. However, according to the YMMV page for the episode "The Love God", Wendy, Lee, and Nate became Scrappies after that episode due to them acting like jerks for a majority of the runtime, so they are now listed as both Darkhorses and Scrappies on the wiki.

Since this is the Gravity Falls thread, I figured that this would be the best place to pass judgement on this issue. Where would you say that the teens stand in the fandom's eyes, particularly Wendy, Lee, and Nate?

I'd say Wendy's on the Ensemble Dark Horse pile. As for the others, well, they are mostly just kinda there and fulfilling their role in the story, which isn't much, but not enough to be filed under Scrappy.

I dunno if Wendy would count on the basis that she's an important part of the cast to start with, though.

Not for season 1. For Season 1 she definitely counted

True. The question is whether to leave the example there after she was inducted into the main cast more.
