Honestly, the best part for me isn't even the mystery stuff , but the genuine sibling interaction that Mabel and Dipper have. I was laughing hysterically when Mabel licked Dipper's hand after he covered her mouth to make her shut up, since a similar scene has played out between my brother and I more than once.

Edit: Well, here's an interesting article. Apparently the shower is filled with occult symbols and corrupting children. Darn. http://vigilantcitizen.com/moviesandtv/gravity-falls-a-new-disney-tv-show-loaded-with-illuminati-symbolism/

I mean really, can there be one movie or TV show not attacked for religious reasons?

Doesn't flooding everything with propaganda, you know, defeat the whole purpose of being a super secret organization/club that is supposed to not exist?

I glance through the article, I didnt find it acting the show really.

Look on the back of a dollar bill, it will blow your mind.

Well you can look at Stan's hat if you want to link the show to the illuminati

STAN IS NOT WHAT HE SEEMS

so this might give some insight on what he really is, as well as the Fez he wears and when he went into the secret compartment at the end of ...Episode 1?

That's the Freemasons. Also, it's not exactly a secret that the US founding fathers were members. (and the symbol was in the bill way before the freemasons started using it)

So I remembered that Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated aired some new episodes. I'd completely forgotten. Man, this show just gets better and better. Shouldn't of forgotten to keep up with this one; it's incredible.


Some decent quality links if anyone's interested:
Season 2 episode 1
Season 2 episode 2
Season 2 episode 3
Season 2 episode 4
Season 2 episode 5

Spoilers ahoy if you haven't seen all of season 1 yet, of course.



Also I'm beginning to think that costumes give superpowers in this universe. They're not even bothering to explain how the villains can fly, now.
Also also don't think all that's possible to do with a plane, Fred, but holy shit that was badass.

I just started to think in another thread about Rozen Maiden, Pokemon, and even Case Closed about themes they would play when a difficult trial actually reached a turning point and sort of realised... Does Western animation have the same equivilant? a sort of "Onward to victory" or "Now its serious" or "Turning point" theme that is played?

Since I absolutely cannot remember any, can you?

[kaijyuu]

A recurring musical theme for it? Hrm... can't really think of one. I'm certain some shows did have a background theme for it. Darkwing Duck had the obvious "Let's Get Dangerous" line, though I don't recall of there was a recurring musical accompaniment for it.

[Frumple]

It's entirely possible we've forgotten them simply due to western media's habit of being about as subtle as a brick in a sock when it comes to musical accompaniment. Mind you, non-western media isn't exactly much better, but a lot of music scores are just not exactly... sophisticated. Unless you count a bat to the face as sophisticated. S'personal complaint, I guess, but when the music makes me unable to do anything but groan in pain, I can't exactly connect to the scene, regardless as to how good the scene is

E: What I'm saying is we're so used to it being so stock it's painful we just filter out the music entirely, in most situations.

Though I guess I'm not too sure how heavily that Hollywood habit translates to more generalized entertainment, particularly E:animated media. Theme songs seem to be fairly memorable, but that's all I can really recall. Which is pretty different from a number of non-western animations, who seem to have some pretty memorable -- and consistently used -- riffs.

Does make me suddenly wonder, though. Anyone know of any major western animation that just doesn't include music? Barring, maybe, stuff like an actual band on screen or something.
