Who do you think will end up more successful in life: Dipper or Mabel?

Successful in what sense? Money? Happiness? Fame?

Whoever gets to leave the dullest franchise in the History of cartoon franchises. Seriously each episode following the Pine twins and their pals from the mystery shack as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of after effects, all to make mystery unmysterious, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Alex vetoed the idea of focusing on paranormal stuff; he made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for his Twitter account. Gravity Falls might be anti-christian (or not), but itโ€™s certainly the anti-Xfiles in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the characters were good though
"No!"
The lines are dreadful; the characters were terrible. As I watched, I noticed that every time a new character might have been useful to the plot it was instead turned into a comic relief.

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that happened. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Hirsch's mind is so governed by pop-culture references and dead memes that he has no other style of directing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Gravity Falls by the same Pendleton Ward. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these manchildren are watching Gravity Falls at 18 or 22, then when they get older they will go on to watch Adventure Time." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you watch "Gravity Falls" you are, in fact, trained to watch Adventure Time.

Dipper. Because the creator based the characters on himself and his twin sister. The creator is obviously a rich and successful cartoonist/show creator, and his sister is just some normy working in retail. Or she was last time I checked, maybe she has made something of herself by now.

Dipper will probably be moderately successful no matter what but Mabel always struck me as the kind of person that could range from homeless to buying a personal yacht for her pet.
>>149445817
That's only on their early life. Unless you're implying Alex Hirsch wrote Gravity Falls 1:1 with his childhood.

Nah, Mabel is better at schmoozing. She'll grow up to be useless for sure, but more successful.

Dipper might get a nothing job, Mabel marries someone and becomes the most annoying mom at the PTA meetings.

Mabel. Dipper is too much of a neurotic autist to secure the connections to get a good paying job in a field he likes, ending as a frustrated wageslave that browses /co/ at best, as a crazy hobo or straight up dead or missing for trying to uncover some supernatural shady conspiracy. Mabel on the other hand has a good chance of becoming a HR/PR manager that is paid well for annoying wagies, or at least having a low-risk (compared to Dipper) dead-end job.

You say that like it's something you're supposed to stop doing. What kind of life did you lead?

Mabel until she hits 30 and suddenly gets burnouts every few months and stops being able to hold down a job, and eventually just sits at home posting on instagram while her husband puts a baby in her and being a mom becomes her entire personality.
