Co-written by Henry Galley.
In his acclaimed cartoon series Gravity Falls, Alex Hirsch created and voiced one of the most effective and memorable villains in western animation: Bill Cipher. The terrifying triangle cast a spell over viewers for years to come, and his legacy is the show's legacy. This is how that incredible villain met his well-deserved ending at the hands of the Pine Family. This is Bill Cipher's One Fatal Mistake.

Gravity Falls was a great show about a weird town, but have you heard of Long Gone Gulch? It's an amazing pilot about a similarly weird town: kzhead.info/sun/h7qgdsipcKljY68/bejne.html
Yes I watched it tang it’s underrated
Watched the pilot and it was long gone good.
Long gone gulch pilot Vs Hazbin Hotel pilot
@@hubertfarnsworth6824 not really fair to compare considering that one is made for kids and the other adults, but I’m gonna have to go with Lgg- more character development.
@@hubertfarnsworth6824 Long Gone Gulch vs literally every other cartoon pilot? Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss aren't the only cartoon pilots to exist
Who looked at the title and just thought: yeah, he made one fatal mistake, he messed with Stan's family.
It's technically the summary lmao
He made a fatal mistake He was an idiot and got into a smartass' mind

"it's been over 4 years since mabel and dipper took that one way bus trip out of gravity falls." " *4 years* " that hit me like a truck.
Wanna feel older? Cuz considering it’s 2021 now, it’s almost been 5 years..,

The thing I honestly found creepiest about Bill is the fact that he targets Mabel at her most vulnerable to get what he wants... and still technically "delivers" on his side of the bargain.
He does that in every single deal, you really have to be desperate to consider a deal with him
The thing is, Bill DOES give his end of the bargain in some form, well besides Gideon, but he does. He gives his side of the deal with Dipper when Dipper gets desperate to solving the laptop only to lead Dipper to find out who made the laptop. Bill seems to be insane but he does gives his own side of the deal in some cursed way.
@@USSFFRU If you don't keep your end of the bargain in some way or another, nobody's ever going to shake your hand. It's the same reason why ransomware hackers and other street gangs won't just take your money and give you nothing; their reputation is necessary for them to function at all.
It's true, but he seems to only give the bare minimum
@@USSFFRU It's been a while since I watched and this might be a bit late but what exactly did Bill not keep about his bargain with Gideon? In the two I can recall them making one never got fully concluded on the details, then the second was involving escaping his jail cell iirc which he did and even said he got his end of the bargain which was Gideon in a way got Mabel, just not in the way that actually mattered.
one fatal mistake: he was the main antagonist in a tv kids cartoon.
Yeah. With how overpowered he is, only his ignorance can make him lose.
@@billcipherproductions1789 and he is the antagonist, so he would lose
@@cuboembaralhado8294 Yeah. How he lost is pretty lame because he should've just looked at Stan's (dressed up as Ford) hand he would've found 5, not 6, fingers, meaning it's Stan. So pretty ignorant of him.
@@billcipherproductions1789 yeah but he was in a rush. I mean, if all I had to do was shake someone’s hand to be all powerful, I wouldn’t hesitate either
@@shutyourraggedyasstfup Also, the first time when he met Ford back in the 1970s, he was pretty smart mathematically, (he corrected Ford's equation for the Portal) but in 2012, how did he stop being a math genius because he should've already known the equation.
Beginning: “it’s been almost 4 years” Me progressively ages
I honestly thought it was a lot more time.
it’s been five years now...
consider this: regressively aging
I thought it was only 1 year ago, but wow, 4 years it have been.
When you're older than Wendy: :/
I find it kind of spine-chilling that the creator of Gravity Falls, Alex Hirsch, is the voice actor of Bill Cipher. I don’t really know how to explain it, it kind of feels like Bill was the one who created all this and knew it was gonna happen
It's also wonderfully designed how Stanley's the one to kill him. Seeing as they're both played by Alex Hirsch, the creator of the show, the only one Bill couldn't predict was Stanley.
Alex created the world, Bill’s gonna watch it burn.
Bill, Grunkle Stan, Soos, mcgucket, gnomes, and others. Who does Alex NOT voice??
@@olimon675 King from Owl House
hes also the voice of king so in a way bill cipher is what king wanted to be
You know something that also probably affected stan a lot. Is that when he took Fords place, everyone thought he was the one who died. I think i remember at some point stan even mentioned there wasnt even a funeral held for him after he faked his death to take over stanfords life because no one cared enough about him to do so. That part just seemed to come back to me every now and then and makes stan a much sadder character
The sad thing is, given that the show ended in 2016, we’re getting closer and closer to the point where both brothers would probably no longer be alive from age alone considering they’re in their late 60’s/early 70’s
When he buried the wax version of himself he gave himself the funeral noone cared to throw him.
@@MargoShuteran There is confirmed to be a fountain of youth in Gravity Falls, and with all the weird stuff Ford must invent/know about, I doubt the Stan brothers will ever die. At least, that's my head canon, because I don't like the idea of them dying either!
@@MargoShuteran Ford probably could reverse his aging like what someone else said, with the fountain of aging.
@@yttrash565 I thought that funeral was for Ford, who for all Stan knows could be dead, since he didn't know where Ford went or what happened to him after going through the portal (or even if he survived it).

@@warsmith1294 bill would totally turn the skin of all the main characters combined into a nice coat or sofa if he could
That is correct bill in my opinion would be best at a more mature show or even better movie with that the world is ending try to survive and beat the boss movies this is tge reason that i don't think Bill is perfect there dumb names, childish characters (it's a kids show i know) and it is not allowed to be truly evil cuz you said why i a more mature show he would really shine and the hero would have to be really creative and smart to beat him. (this is my longest comment lol)
A little thing about Gravity Falls' episode count and yet how good it was is that it was planned out _from the start_ to have only 40 episodes, while other shows were more open-ended starting out or were subject to corporate meddling which ruined the pace of the show. Gravity Falls is a show that was _allowed_ to reach its full potential.
Everything in Gravity Falls was already planned from the start, and that's one of the reasons why it is so good
Unrelated but I love your pfp!
@@phantom9831 I'm not sure about that. In one of the earliest episodes, McGucket has a son, who was never ever mentioned afterwards, for example. There were other instances, where I got the feeling, that, while the main course was set, not every detail about the plot was fully developed, when the show startet.
If this show didn't have to remain kid-friendly for where it's shown, Bill would've been an even more badass character. I love a villain without a tragic/reasonable backstory. He just exists. I love it
He is a simple two-dimensional villain, even his damn character, but BESIDES being "plain" he is also cool, which is why it works. Like the guy from Princess and the Frog and old Disney movies. You know he is bad, but he is so cool while being bad that you love him
I find it hard to imagine a lesser kid-friendly Bill, he feels so natural In what we have I'm not sure if it would've been a great idea. Sorry for the rant.
@@BrianHopson yeah i don't think it'd be better if it wasn't kid-friendly

@@tobas6129 see, it's funny because gravity falls isn't terrible
Something else I really liked about Mabel and Stan's similarities is that at both their weakest moments, each felt as though not only their best friend and anchor was potentially leaving them, but they could not follow. Neither Mabel or Stan believed either held the same importance as their sibling and as such would inevitably be forced to live in their own stagnant "bubble" forever alone. I think it's actually the hatred and acceptance of their own inability to move forward based around their own insecurities that sparks the fear in them to keep those they love too close. Afterall, a screwup or a joke is only such when they admit it to others, right?
I never thought about that! Cause Ford did say to Stan “guess you’ll just have to come visit me on the other side of the country” before the whole accident happens. Stan truly thought the only outcome was him staying there while Ford left. It wouldn’t have been easy but he could’ve left with Ford and had adventures with him. Same with Mabel tho it’s the opposite with Dipper staying and her leaving. Maybe she could’ve convinced her parents to let them both stay-not to say they would’ve let either of them stay-but it’s more the mindset that this was over with no options. And it’s probably cause they always felt like the inferior twin. Which is so ironic because Ford and Dipper also felt like the inferior twin because they couldn’t fit in or be normal but that drove them to try to prove themselves rather than hide in one place-tho hiding from the problem and running from it are truly the same action in the end.
@@nightgoddess9 honestly this show is so good at complex sibling relationships without resorting to excessive angst or even dislike on the part of either twin. The fact that we can still talk about their relationship and care equally about both is so cool to me
He didn’t notice how Ford suddenly lost a finger on each hand, that was his mistake
Must have been overtaken with joy So much he forgot the 6th finger

Wouldn’t one of the fingers be drooping then?
@@gorby1984 Not if he shifted a finger or two down to the end of the glove and kept the empty one towards the middle where it could be held straight by the others. I think the harder part was keeping Ford's uncovered hands out of sight.

16:26 Theres that old saying of "dont fear a warrior. Fear a man who has nothing left to lose" but theres also the one that applies here. "Dont fear a man that has nothing left to lose. But one that has nothing left to lose and everything to win."
SO TRUE
my hed hurts
Mabel wasn't worse than Dipper, for one thing she had no idea who she was making a deal with when she gave up the orb. I think it's unfair that people hate on her when in reality all of the characters are flawed and have to learn to grow, not just her
exactly shes 12-
I think the reason why a lot of people don’t like her is the lack of character development. In the sock opera, bill is right. What exactly has Mabel sacrificed that helped dipper? She always presumes and pressures him to do stuff. Especially the black mail part. Her being more mindful of her pressuring others and of what they value. Is this Mabel realistic? Yes, but she’s not a satisfyingly character.
So? She nearly killed the whole world by making that deal. I don't care if she's 12, she almost got the whole world killed. She is a lot worse than Dipper.
Fr, Dipper really thought that Bill would help him by just giving him a sock puppet, like how naive can you be? Mabel was being tricked by Bill because she didn’t even knew that it was Bill and not that future guy that they actually had a good relationship with
@@XxSoniaxXYEAH BRO Mabel was literally holding a universal dooming orb on her hands but even so, NO ONE FUCKING TOLD HER THAT
When Bill and Ford met you could already tell they were both gonna make huge mistakes, bill moved his knight to an illegal square in the game of inter dimensional chess and Ford moved his queen past the row of pawns without an opening.

Funny how Stanley, the seemingly selfish conman, turned out to be the most selfless character in the whole show. Everything he's worked for, everything he cared about, it was all for his family.
I feel like you should know a lot about Bill Cypher's reasons for downfall judging your profile pic
Stanley doesn't like to admit, but he loves his family. The whole reason he destroyed Ford's machine was too prevent Ford from leaving him, and going to a good College. In the end Stan sacrificed him, to save his brother, Dipper, and Mabel.
What about the "Grammar, Stanley" thing
@@jangamecuber He simply has no self control.
Look at his eyes, do you really think he's a bad guy?
I know im a bit late to this, but i find it poetic how Bill's own ego is ultimately what beat him. This ego is shown in 2 forms. First, when he realized his powers were confined to Gravity Falls, he got desperate to break free, and desperation can make people overlook simple details because they are solely focused on their own desires. Second, Bill saw himself as higher than everyone else. He had more power than anyone else in the universe and has successfully tricked almost everyone trying to stop him. Because of this, he truly believed his plan to get into Ford's mind by sacrificing the kids had worked, ignoring the fact that Stan and Ford might have had 1 final trick up their sleeve. These aspects of Bill's character culminate in one moment: the handshake. When Bill and "Ford" shook hands, Bill's feeling of superiority made him believe that he was in control and that he knew exactly what was going on. His desperation not only led him to going so far i.e., sacrificing the kids and leading to Stan sacrificing his mind, but also blinded him to the fact that the "Ford" he shool hands with only had 5 fingers, a detail Bill surely would have noticed if he hadn't been so focused on his own selfish desires. It is very fitting that Bill had been using ego as a weapon for the entire series, and yet it was his own ego that ultimitely did him in. Great video!
You're right man!
I'd say the entire video is true, but you could also argue Bill made a more specific fatal error by saying this- "Who would sacrifice everything they’ve worked for just for their dumb sibling?”" Before Bill said this to Mabel she was starting to give him the book, but once she realised Dipper would've done just that she changed her mind and fought him. Had he just kept his mouth shut Mabel would've given him the book and he would've had a far easier time taking over the world.
True but doesn't stan make a copy of journal 3 in the first episode of season 2? I may have that wrong but if bill did get the book stan would have another copy
@@oshikyrosu3032 I remember very little since it was so long ago so I'll assume that's true. But even then, does him having a copy even matter? The only reason he was able to get all the books in the end was because Dipper and Mabel got the others, he wouldn't have ever been able to get them on his own right? Also what if a copy doesn't work the same way as the original? Also did he not use the original book in the end? The copy would've been as a last resort but ig we'll never know whether the copy would've had the same power as the original. Ofc most of this stuff is just theorising, but even if a copy works just as well as the original then Bill probably would've still immensely set back Dipper and Mabel since I think (not 100% sure) that their book helped them in multiple scenarios and if Bill destroyed it they wouldn't have been able to find/do a lot of things since they wouldn't have even known that Stan had a copy. Idk if I explained that well, but yeah, ig there's no real right or wrong here, just what's more or less likely!
Yeah I think dipper had 3 gideon had 2 and stan had 1 originally but yeah I think 3 was the most important to the show as dipper used it alot of the time had bill destroyed it would have been a major set back. Thinking about it now even if stan has a copy dipper doesn't have access to it as he doesn't even know that stan has the other 2 until later. Bills ultimate goal was to stop dipper from getting answers by destroying the laptop and book I think.

@Imlmaogamer I see what you did there
Basecally
Honestly out of all tricks that villains use against heroes in order to get their way, the way that Bill possessed Blendin and CONVINCINGLY acted like him was brilliantly done and something i’ve only ever seen in this. . The first time i saw this this i was old enough to be able to tell the signs, but i thought it truly was blendin until he asked for the rift. But mabel didn’t know anything about the rift. she didn’t know what it was or what it meant, and so for a familiar friendly face asking for another random strange object in her brothers bag(which was probably filled with other random strange objects) wasn’t out of the blue for her. He was offering something she really wanted, *that. Made. Sense.* the trick wasn’t overly cliché and was easy to identify without it practically throwing it at your face. If you hadn’t watched the episode that explained the rift then you would’ve been fooled into thinking that it was really blendin asking for a random thing. It’s not mabel’s fault, but rather dipper’s who never told her, despite knowing that when he tells her stuff it’s usually the best option. Just my opinion.
I think you're exactly right about that -- and I think that's how the show's writers wanted people to take it. Bill hits people when they're vulnerable, and Mabel was very vulnerable at that moment. But more importantly, Mabel doesn't know what that "gizmo" is, because Ford told Dipper not to tell her; and Dipper *didn't* tell her. So while she certainly makes a mistake there, it's not wholly her fault. It's a mistake that wouldn't have happened, if other characters didn't also make mistakes -- Dipper not telling her, or, Ford not yet being able to trust his family, still too paranoid about Bill. (Ford was so paranoid about Bill finding the Rift, that his secrecy about it... caused Bill to be able to get ahold of the Rift by tricking someone else, who didn't know how important it was.) Everyone is a bit flawed, and everyone has made some mistakes. But the important thing is that everyone can come together, and work to fix their mistakes.

Imagine what the college would’ve thought if the news of Bill got out of Gravity Falls “So your telling me that the kid we rejected had a part in saving the world?” “Yup”
Yeah and he had a part in letting bill into our world and killing everyone
@sans Oh ok so tell me who summoned Bill in the first place? And built the portal?
@sans Hey man, Blendin Blendin wasn't an enemy, he was a good acquaintance , maybe even a good friend
ok but not enough people understand that she WAS A TWELVE/THIRTEEN YEAR OLD OF COURSE SHE IS EASY MANIPULATED SHE'S A CHILD
@@silverdays2909 well it's obvious, Mabel did it
Gravity falls is the ONE cartoon that deserve the title "Legend"
The 2010's was such a golden time for cartoons. We got so many influential shows that'll remain as classics.
Bill's mistake was underestimating others. Bill and Stan are a lot more in common than you might see at a first glance. Stan Pines burned a lot of bridges in his life, severing his relationship with his family. Bill Cipher burned his dimension to the ground because nobody followed his way of thinking, considering them feeble-minded.
And there's even hints suggesting that Bill deeply regretted doing it.
@@RealSirMikay wait he does?
Yes, he just doesn't show it or tell anyone about it, because of thinking him as weak, his weakness. XD

Yeah I was actually surprised most of this was allowed- though I still loved it as a kid and I still do!
Bill basically said “fuck them kids”
Gravity falls will forever be in my mind as the greatest TV Show/piece of animation I have ever watched.
Same!

I'd forgotten how incredibly satisfying it is to hear Stan say, "ya missed with my family!"

Regular show?
4 years later and people are still discovering more about this show.. truly amazing
My nephew asked me to put this video on with him, I loved this analysis video 💖 Him and I celebrate our own version of Summerween together every year, we started the tradition during 2020 because he was sad that he couldn't see his friends anymore. It was something he looked forward to even if there wasn't a lot of good things to look forward to.
I just wanted to say I’m glad you acknowledge a lot of the unnecessary hate Mabel gets.
Yeah people got to learn that Mabel wasn’t the only selfish one and that everyone in the shoe was a bit selfish at one point and everyone is morally grey
I never understood it, like she’s the nicest person in the show (only being beaten by soos) and everyone treats Dipper like an angel even when he’s being stupid and not just that but a piece of shit as well. I saw a tumblr post that explains this perfectly, it’s misogyny
Nice to see people who finally get it. Fuck the haters.
People forget that shes only a kid. I sometimes make jokes about mabel being toxic, but that was just me messing around lol. I feel like most people who legitmately complain are adults who watch the show.
"Dipper sacrificed so much for Mabel!" is such a silly argument because most of those "sacrifices" were just doing the right thing. Keeping his crush (who he never had a chance with) single was NOT more important than Mabel and Waddles' bond. And being able to keep a job that allowed him to hang out with said crush was CERTAINLY NOT more important than Mermando seeing his family again.
"Destroys the zodiac symbol and everyone's fan theories" That quote. It's amazing.
I just came to realize something, which is honestly, very therapeutic to me. Mabel and Stan are emotional minded people, they're typically driven by their emotions and enjoy things that have more action that appeal to them better. Dipper and Ford are logical minded people, often using logic to get by and their form of enjoyment is things that include a lot of thought and strategy. Together, when they GENUINELY are working together, side by side, for the same goal, they are in their wise mind, with the perfect mix of logic and emotion!
I think I speak for everyone here when I say that Gravity Falls will forever hold a special place in our hearts
I'd say his real fatal mistake was being so eager to get into Ford's head that he completely missed whose head he was really getting into. You'd think with all his power that once he shook Stan's hand, he'd know what was going on. But I guess that comes back down to his overclocked ego again.
He played with others egos but ultimately lost thanks to his own ego.
Honestly fitting that Stan’s big moment would be conning the Devil himself
Even Stanley was like wow, how did you not recognize it?
Do not forget, in Stanford's head was metallic plate, which was preventing Bill to come in Stan's mind. Bill couldn't know how would look mind defended by steel plate.
Does he feel? At least does his hands feel? Because his eye obviously can be hurt, but if he can't feel the 5 fingers on Stan's hand...plus he feels like he's about to finally succeed in a plan that has been plotted for multiple eternities.
Y’know, gravity falls makes me want to write a journal of my own full of make-believe creatures and leave it in a forest I live by for people to discover.
Maybe you can get inspired by not well-knowed myths in North América, but in South America
They sell that shit though!
You should or atleast sell it

Thank you for not tearing Mabel down, and also looking at the egotistical nature of all the pines' I think ppl forget that the twins are 12, they do 12 y/o things and have 12y/o fears. I still fear losing my twin brother

“I have some kids in gonna turn into CORPSES” I think about that line daily second only to azula’s “I’m about to celebrate becoming an only child”

Both those lines are so superior to, “I’m gonna kill you!”

I remember that line dang was it dark
that's rough buddy
I just got flashbacks to high-school geometry and I 100% support using fancy dancy words when they are used properly
I know it's mostly off topic but I love Gideon's redemption, and screw whoever thought "Tell Mabel what I did" was selfish. Gideon is thirteen (or younger, which everyone seems to forget), riding off to inevitable death and likely torture to finally do something FOR the girl he likes rather than to serve his own needs. He deserves to have her know, and even if that was selfish, he'd MORE than earned it.
I like how Bill is the literal embodiment of letting ambition control you. Stanford and Dipper were very ambitious for answers about Bill and the weirdness so they lead their ambition to make a deal with Bill (selfishness and ambition) which like in real life causes big sacrifices. Their sacrifices was abandoning the people closest to you.
That’s true
I don’t agree with this. At the end of the show we see Stanley and Stanford on a boat. This is reminiscent of their shared childhood ambition/dream to sail across the sea together. I don’t think ambitiousness is the issue - ambition can be an incredibly good thing. You can also be ambitious and have a healthy ego. Instead, Bill is a representation of an unhealthy ego and selfishness.

Reminds me of The Smith and The Devil. The devil offers the smith the power to weld any material in exchange for his soul. He accepts the offer, but the devil unknowingly just gave him the power to defeat him. The smith instantly welded the devil to an immovable object and refused to release him until he gave him back his soul. By the end of it, the smith walks away with twice as much while the devil walks away with none. Bill does the same thing. He tricks members of the Pines family to further his own goals, but messing with the Pines family was what destroyed him.
I miss Gravity Falls so much, there was a pit in my stomach this entire video. It brings back so many memories from my childhood.
I am unable to believe that this fan base is still alive. We will never die
You should see Invader Zim or Sonic.
@@endernightthedrokain1770 The only shows that I actually enjoy was gravity falls, wander over yonder, Steven universe, adventure time, invader zim, Danny phantom, fairy odd parents, the adventures of Billy and Maddy, etc. Too bad I can't watch them anymore. TV is turned into a bigger screened KZhead so I can't really watch any full episodes. Plus, Disney channels has ceased broadcast in southeast Asia. Memories. I wish I could still enjoy them. If I knew that they would end, I would've enjoyed them while I still can. I'm sad that it's over but I'm happy that it happened.

Yup
What I think is, when Mabel and Dipper come back to their parents, they will tell them everything that happened, and their parents won't believe a thing
“A yellow triangle tried to kill us and take over the world.” Mabel said. “Honey, I think you need to go to bed, you are making stuff up..” her mom said.

One thing I've heard alot people say doesn't make sense, The same wheel that Gideon used to summon Bill is the same one that was supposed to be used to destroy Bill. But honestly, I think it makes alot of sense. A pentagram is used in a similar way, as a pentagram itself is used to trap and kill evil. But an inverted pentagram, (literally a upside down pentagram) is used to summon evil. And that's just pentagrams, there are hundreds, if not thousands, examples of things similar or the same can be used in contrasting ways.
She wrote “see you next summer!” But we never saw the good people of gravity again..😢

I don't hate Mabel, but I hate how the show stripped her from any development and didn't show Mabel apologising to Dipper in the meaning way. It's like accidentaly pushing the nuke button and then not care or apologise about it at all.
@@DeathKitta As a Mabel lover, i kinda feel the same way
"being a nightmare out of your worst geometry homework" felt that one..
Literally, he has his main triangle, two triangles in his ties, circle like eye, 2 rectangles in his hat, and flowing limbs without sharp shapes.
I’m tearing up over this. My brother and I have gone through our fair share of rough patches, mainly based around my coming out as queer and asexual, and then trans and his lack of understanding other people. He left yesterday to go on a week long trip without his phone and before he left he called me his sibling and we did the awkward sibling hug (and pats). This hit me in my feels.
