After reading the book of bill it is CRAZY to think that out of all infinite universes, this is the only one where dipper and Mabel defeat bill or survive all the gravity falls adventures.
@@debbielungsodaitfllothere are infinite alternative realities, and this was the only one in which Bill was defeated, the rest the Pines family was massacred...
I love how calmly he talks to Bill. he knows he’s gonna get his memory, he even knows what Bill is capable of. And yet he talks to him like he’s a guy who just stole $30 from him.
" If I had a 100$ for every demon I've conquered, I'd be rich because like all my problems. I punched them in the face " - Probably what Stan said at one point in his life
I love how Bill was so desperate that he began to try to bargen with Stan over things that literally would not matter in the wierdmagetton apocalyptic Universe.
Yeah. Although from a logical standpoint, infinite power would probably be worth something by enabling you to survive the end of the universe when Bill's Weirdmageddon meddling causes time to collapse.
Also... Stan would have had no way to accept the offer. His mind was already melting and that's what prevented Bill from escaping and would cause his death. So even bargaining at that point was meaningless.
The way bill says "STANLEYYY" before being obliterated always sends chills down my spine, and the little sound effect afterward and bills very being is sent careening into a billion pieces.
It's very satisfying knowing that Cypher never once admitted Stanley as a threat. Bill was always focused on Ford, he never even considered Stanley becoming a potential candidate, in fact it looked like he thought very little almost nothing similar to the rest of the town. Then in Bill's last moments, he realizes his foolish error and with his last angry, words, takes Stanley seriously, realizing he was a formidable threat after all.
The plan specifically hinged on him tricking Bill into entering his mind by looking like Ford. It could’ve been anyone else and it wouldn’t have mattered.
That reminds me of Transformers Animated where Optimus is constantly just called 'Autobot' by Megatron, until the final battle where Megatron acknowledges Prime as his #1 threat. It's honestly always satisfying when you see a main villain underestimate someone only to realize their mistake at the last second.
It's like Bill never even knew Stan existed. I mean I'm sure he did but like... He just thought of him as a joke. Literally nothing to be afraid of. He wasn't even in his conscience! Until the moment he opened the door
For me there are only two things more satisfying you can get from a boss like antagonist. 1. the way the shrinking pupils look when a being of ultimate intelligence silently thinks “oh crap!”. 2. the look of what can only be described as “literal pants-wetting terror” on a creature that can not urinate.

0:36 I love the attention to detail. Without that line, a lot of fans would be asking "Why didn't Bill just call the deal off" He tried to, but failed. And the reason is simple yet logically genius. Because Bill actually got his part first. The deal was that he would let Ford's family go. Not release, *let* *go* . As in, "spare".The only way to do that is not kill them _after_ Weirdmageddon got global. Since he got his part, he couldn't cancel it himself, because then he would be violating it.
@@fluffythepro The deal was for the person shaking his hand to let him into their mind. Not Ford specifically. He _meant_ it to be Ford, but the deal itself didn't specify it.
Which is a trick Bill himself has pulled many times when making his deals, like with Dipper. So the fact his own trick of twisting the deal to his benefit is being used against him, and by a Pines no less, is layers upon layers of irony.
If I remember right most demons and god-like creatures are bound by their words so they can twist what they say but they can't actually go against the terms of their deal, that's why people say to be careful what you wish for with genies.
I love bill’s realization process that this is where he *dies* . At first he immediately goes to his instincts, the moment something isn’t going his way he pulls out of the deal. But that doesn’t work, so he tries to use his powers, which don’t work either. He has what can best be described as a nervous breakdown because he is essentially a god, no one has ever bested him like this. So he Pleads with Stanley as best as he can, but even that proves useless. And then he says his final chant as a last ditch effort. And finally screams out to Stanley as he dies for good
I love that he's offering Stan all of the things we thought were important to him in season 1, only for him to not care at all. He really did just want his family safe, huh.
He was only obsessed with money because of his family. he tried to make a fortune because that’s the only way his family would accept him. It’s kinda sad if you really think about it
Accurate, except for the last stage. There was no acceptance there, not even at the very last moment when he was punched out. He absolutely could not and would never never comprehend that he lost, that entire sequence was basically him experiencing a "blue screen of death" moment because he couldn't believe he'd actually been beaten.
Even after all these years, this is still one of the best villain deaths of all time. The music, the animation, the voice acting, EVERYTHING is perfect. The way we see Bill lose all semblance of arrogance and revert back to his old tricks of trying to bargain with Stan, only for it to not phase Stan at all. How we see him unravel as he glitches between various forms, as if he's trying to use the powers of the Mindscape to imagine a way out of this situation. But when he realises nothing is working he tries to take out Stan so he can savour one last victory, but Stan's sheer conviction overpowers Bill on his home turf. 10/10 phenomenal ending.
@Ackey Gang if youre asking who is cipher, thats bill's last name, the video you just watched. If youre asking what is a cipher, it is a hidden code that needs a specific code to unlock/crack it.
One thing ive noticed is that with Bill's deals is whoever has more to gain tends to be the one who gets screwed. Ford has infinite knowlege and productivity for the mere price of letting bill into his mind. Dipper had the secrets of the labtop at his command for what seemingly was a puppet Mabel had time with her brother, more important than anything, for a mere dork thingy (the rift to her) But with Stan? Bill had the world to gain for the mere safety of the kids. Bill's own formula came back to burn him with karma
“Guess I was good for somethin’ after all.” God, that’s such a depressing line, both in the context that Stanley’s been told he’s good for nothing his whole life, and the fact throughout the entire series he’s been with people who genuinely do love him. Even though he regained his memories later, it’s still heartbreaking to know only in his ‘final’ moments of remembering his previous life that he realized how much he truly meant to his family.
In one of the journals there's something about the memory gun, and how it's effects can be reversed with visual cues relating to the erased memory (which we see with Stan and Mabel's memory book at the end). Psychologically, this means the memory gun doesn't remove memories from memory storage, it interferes with the memory retrieval process (specifically, it must interfere with the extra process used in free recall if stimulus recognition can retrieve "erased" memories). Low memory accessibility gives you the feeling you've forgotten something, but the memory is still in your memory storage (Tulving and Pearlstone, 1966). Therefore, Bill was not erased, he's still ticking away in Stan's memory system.
This theory actually makes a lot of sense as well, as we see with the cult using the memory guns, they wiped a ton of memories from the town, as a result they are extremely dumb because they cant remember basic stuff like where they are going and how to do certain stuff, more than likely the guns scramble the ATP in the brain that are used for specific memories, bill being a "dream demon" allows him to traverse the brains neurons and memories, either two things occurred once the weapon was fired: the first possibility is that by Bill being within one of stans memories (his home) and being trapped within it, he effectively was forced to be scattered like traditional ATP and died (or at least became brain dead due to him being punched into molecules) as a result, another possibility is that the gun assumed he was part of the memory retrieval process as he enters stans mind to get the equation to break through the barrier of gravity falls, not to mention that when he tries to escape stans mind, when he tries to use his powers, they are instantly extinguished, meaning the gun is targeting him specifically and will scatter him into particles as a result, which is also why he questions what the hell is happening to him and why hes glitching out (which if you pay attention has bits and pieces of him flying off of his body). While there may be a chance that bill survived the encounter, i feel that since the gun scatters ATP and messes with retrieval processes, Bill has more than likely become braindead and will die once stan dies of old age (bonus theory: is that he dies in this scene, if we are to go by the King (Owl house) is bill cipher theory, gravity falls takes place in 2012, King is canonically 8 years old and the series was released in 2020 with no time date as to when the series takes place and the use of phones and modern tech, we can assume it takes place in 2020, meaning that bills final words did come true and he was reborn as king)

Eve Plays Gacha there was an axolotl in a book of gravity falls that Mabel and dipper can ask 1 question, and dipper asked about bill and the axolotl gave a poem
I loved this scene it was perfect. Bill acting erratically and morphing into different forms before he dies gives me chills everytime. What a fuckin amazing show.
His death is just so cinematic, hearing him almost scream in pain (probably). The music, I love just watching his final moments, its so well made, not to mention him going through all his forms as they crumble down.
Even out of context (because I don’t watch Gravity Falls), I LOVE this scene!! It’s so satisfying because the animation, music, voice acting, and just all of it connect together and make it great! The voice acting of Bill is absolutely BRILLIANT!! The animation and music COMBINE SO WELL!! I don’t know how many times I’ve replayed this clip, but it inspires me to do so many things!
“Oh I’m here, I’m finally here. Look at this place, a perfect, calm, orderly void. Gotta hand it to you Ford, you really know how to clear your-“ *Stanley clicks* “What?!” “Haha, do a pretty good impression of my brother, don’t I? Switch clothes and no one can tell us apart. Welcome to my mind, surprised you didn’t recognize it.” *Stanford pulls out memory gun, types Stanley Pines and aims it at Stanley* “What! The deal’s off. What the- no no no no!” “Oh yeah, your going down Bill, your getting erased. Memory gun, pretty clever huh?” “Y-y-you idiot, don’t you realize your destroying your own mind too?” “Eh, it’s not like I was using this space for much anyway.” “Let me out of here, let me-“ *Bill’s powers fail* “Huh, why isn’t this working?” “Hey, look at me, turn around and look at me you one-eyed demon. Your a real wise guy, but you made one fatal mistake; you messed with my family.” “Your making a mistake, I’ll give you anything! Money, fame, riches, infinite power, your own galaxy! Please! No! What’s happening to me! ! nruter yam I taht rewop tneicna eht ekovni I !nrub ot emoc sah emit yM !L-T-O-L-O-X-A Stanley! Ah!” “Guess I was good for something after all.”
"You made one fatal mistake. You messed with my family." Two ways to interpret it: (1) By threatening my family, you incurred my wrath. (2) My family is better than you and you had no way of beating them
@@hoakcast it's not a plot hole lol Dipper told him that he needed to fight Bill and he was some what aware of what was happening, he saw the two guys Mabel had with her.
You'd think Bill would've noticed that Ford had five fingers and not six. Guess he was too caught up in the moment. Speaking of Stanley, this seems like a good way of sacrificing yourself without actually dying.
Ford wears gloves so while the finger wasn't taking that space on the glove it would still be 6 fingered gloves, and bill only would have noticed when shaking hands and it would have been too late then.
1:01 Hey look at me turn around and look at me ya one eyed demon you're a real wise guy but you made one fatal mistake...YOU'VE MESSED WITH MY FAMILY! 😡😡😡
The MOMENT I first saw this scene, and noticed that the hand Bill shook to enter the mind didn’t have Ford’s extra finger is when I though to myself “Oh, *this* is going to be goooooood.” I may be late as all hell, but this scene is addicting. The Pines may have been able to prevent Bill from getting his way a few times in the past, like when he first entered Stan’s mind and when he possessed Dipper’s body, but all they where doing was delaying the inevitable, minor setbacks for Bill, and he knew this. Here though? The one Pines family member he NEVER considered to be a threat practically escorted this nigh-omnipotent concept *into his own grave,* and he had no way of knowing until it was too little, too late. The one person who he never thought would have the balls to try and stop him ended up being the last crucial link that defeated him so thoroughly that *he wouldn’t even live on as a memory.* Also really glad it hasn’t been flagged “for kids” as most other animated cartoon content has been in recent years just because it’s a cartoon
eight years. we spent 8 years knowing he was gonna come back, dreading what his next plan would be. and he just trapped himself in therapy the whole time. and that's so fucking funny to me.
This is the best ending to any show I have ever seen, animated or not. It's dramatic, emotional, the music is epic, the voice acting is great, and it's just so satisfying
For me, this death was very satisfying to see, as at the beginning he was singing he was relaxed, but at the end you see Bill more nervous and desperate because he knew he was going to die at the hands of Stan.
Dude even in death this character is terrifying. The whole backwards incantation screaming thing while rapidly changing through a thousand forms…lordy.
The way Stanley pulls the picture of himself with Mabel and Dipper out of the flames. Everything in his mindspace is a construct. That picture was his memories of Mabel and Dipper. All his memories are being destroyed, and THOSE are the memories he chooses to pick up and hold tight so they burn last of all, even after his memories of who he is (himself). Those are the memories he clings to hardest. Really tells you just what kind of person Stanley is under that gruff callous appearance.
60 degrees that come in threes Watches from within birch trees Watched his own dimension burn Misses home and can't return Says he's happy he's a liar Blame the arson for the fire If he wish to shirk the blame He only needs to invoke my name The only way to absolve his crime A different form, a different time
I really love how Bill died here. Obviously, you could say he was tricked, and that is true. However, the deeper reason is that he is selfish. He could never imagine anyone sacrificing their memories and who they are as a person for anyone else, which is why he fell into this trap-he was so desperate to be able to leave Gravity Falls and cause suffering and misery for everyone and everything for his enjoyment that he never once noticed any of the obvious hints that Ford was actually Stan. And, his selfishness is put on full display near the end. When he is being erased, he doesn't express remorse for any of the terrible things he did (the destruction of his original realm, the mass murder of Time Baby and the Time Police, the torturing of Ford, honestly just most of his actions during the series) and instead decides to beg for his life, as to express remorse would mean he would have to feel at least SOMEWHAT bad, which he doesn't, as shown in the series TLDR: Bill is an inherently selfish being, and ultimately this is what led to his defeat.
I like how Bill, the epitome of chaos and self-proclaimed insane, is the one trying to talk some sense into Stan that he's in a way also destroying himself.
Bill literally went through the five stages of grief there, here's the time stamps: Denial- 0:49 Anger-1:17 Bargaining- 1:10 Depression- 0:57 Acceptance- 1:19 (acceptance, not exactly, but because he realized Stan wasn't giving in and just started praying)
Actually at the part where bill is speaking gibberish if if you play it backwards he says: A-X-O-L-O-T-L MY TIME HAS COME TO BURN, I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWER THAT I MAY RETURN!!
"Guess I was good for something, after all..." From feeling like a good-for-nothing to being the final nail in the coffin in Bill Cipher's defeat and in the end of Weirdmageddon. Such a characterial evolution for Stan Pines.
A being of endless chaotic energy, defeated by a professional conman

Even after all these years, this is still one of the best villain deaths of all time. The music, the animation, the voice acting, EVERYTHING is perfect. The way we see Bill lose all semblance of arrogance and revert back to his old tricks of trying to bargain with Stan, only for it to not phase Stan at all. How we see him unravel as he glitches between various forms, as if he's trying to use the powers of the Mindscape to imagine a way out of this situation. But when he realises nothing is working he tries to take out Stan so he can savour one last victory, but Stan's sheer conviction overpowers Bill on his home turf. 10/10 phenomenal ending.
I love how Bill freaks out and panics when he realizes he's been conned.

1:16 when he goes static you can see cipher hunt bill
I just noticed that lol
Oh yeah pretty Hard to tell
@@Tybze same...
I don’t get it
@Ackey Gang if youre asking who is cipher, thats bill's last name, the video you just watched.
If youre asking what is a cipher, it is a hidden code that needs a specific code to unlock/crack it.
One thing ive noticed is that with Bill's deals is whoever has more to gain tends to be the one who gets screwed.
Ford has infinite knowlege and productivity for the mere price of letting bill into his mind.
Dipper had the secrets of the labtop at his command for what seemingly was a puppet
Mabel had time with her brother, more important than anything, for a mere dork thingy (the rift to her)
But with Stan? Bill had the world to gain for the mere safety of the kids.
Bill's own formula came back to burn him with karma
Oh god you're right
This is one of the most beautiful scenes ever. At the end, you can see Stan's acceptance of his fate on his face. God.
In bill’s backwards talk he states "give me the power that I may return." And he did return. 5 years later. As a cameo in The Simpsons.
And he tells kids to invest in crypto, he sure hasn't changed
Bill returned when Stan got his memories back.
@@enskje Let me guess, you got that from Film theory?
Axolotl My time has come to burn, I invoke the ancient power that I may return
@Cheeky (Szèmtelen Mano) he's also a legit statue somewhere
“Guess I was good for somethin’ after all.”
God, that’s such a depressing line, both in the context that Stanley’s been told he’s good for nothing his whole life, and the fact throughout the entire series he’s been with people who genuinely do love him.
Even though he regained his memories later, it’s still heartbreaking to know only in his ‘final’ moments of remembering his previous life that he realized how much he truly meant to his family.
In one of the journals there's something about the memory gun, and how it's effects can be reversed with visual cues relating to the erased memory (which we see with Stan and Mabel's memory book at the end).
Psychologically, this means the memory gun doesn't remove memories from memory storage, it interferes with the memory retrieval process (specifically, it must interfere with the extra process used in free recall if stimulus recognition can retrieve "erased" memories). Low memory accessibility gives you the feeling you've forgotten something, but the memory is still in your memory storage (Tulving and Pearlstone, 1966).
Therefore, Bill was not erased, he's still ticking away in Stan's memory system.
This theory actually makes a lot of sense as well, as we see with the cult using the memory guns, they wiped a ton of memories from the town, as a result they are extremely dumb because they cant remember basic stuff like where they are going and how to do certain stuff, more than likely the guns scramble the ATP in the brain that are used for specific memories, bill being a "dream demon" allows him to traverse the brains neurons and memories, either two things occurred once the weapon was fired: the first possibility is that by Bill being within one of stans memories (his home) and being trapped within it, he effectively was forced to be scattered like traditional ATP and died (or at least became brain dead due to him being punched into molecules) as a result, another possibility is that the gun assumed he was part of the memory retrieval process as he enters stans mind to get the equation to break through the barrier of gravity falls, not to mention that when he tries to escape stans mind, when he tries to use his powers, they are instantly extinguished, meaning the gun is targeting him specifically and will scatter him into particles as a result, which is also why he questions what the hell is happening to him and why hes glitching out (which if you pay attention has bits and pieces of him flying off of his body).
While there may be a chance that bill survived the encounter, i feel that since the gun scatters ATP and messes with retrieval processes, Bill has more than likely become braindead and will die once stan dies of old age
(bonus theory: is that he dies in this scene, if we are to go by the King (Owl house) is bill cipher theory, gravity falls takes place in 2012, King is canonically 8 years old and the series was released in 2020 with no time date as to when the series takes place and the use of phones and modern tech, we can assume it takes place in 2020, meaning that bills final words did come true and he was reborn as king)
We
You see sirs, bill uttered the incantation that lets him return at a different time in a different form
I think bill is officially dead in gravity falls, but he’s still alive in other universes such as the simpson’s
Ohhhh, we’ll that makes the ending better

Probably not, he has probably seen a lot worse. He’s existed for billions, possibly trillions of years.
I mean. He made the weirdmageddon. So im pretty sure he'd be fine with whatever you had in your noggin
I'll believe anything coming from face mask Shrek
No u
But has he been in my mind doe. has he.
His death is just so cinematic, hearing him almost scream in pain (probably). The music, I love just watching his final moments, its so well made, not to mention him going through all his forms as they crumble down.
This show always had the greatest lore and just perfect everything.
Even out of context (because I don’t watch Gravity Falls), I LOVE this scene!! It’s so satisfying because the animation, music, voice acting, and just all of it connect together and make it great! The voice acting of Bill is absolutely BRILLIANT!! The animation and music COMBINE SO WELL!!
I don’t know how many times I’ve replayed this clip, but it inspires me to do so many things!
Fun Fact: Stan and Bill are played by the same person who is also the creator of the show, which makes the acting even better.
You should go and watch it like it's 100% worth your time

"You made one fatal mistake. You messed with my family."
Two ways to interpret it:
(1) By threatening my family, you incurred my wrath.
(2) My family is better than you and you had no way of beating them
Pretty sure It means both
My family is better than you think
And i, Stanley would do anything for them
Stan: "Welcome to my mind, surprised you didn't recognize it."
Stan is right here. Bill has, infact, been in Stans mind before
And its still in the same state Bill left it in, a white void
I wonder how Stan knew Bill was in his head before?

Fake Bill V
I just realized, Bill screams “Stanley!”
Like how Ford screamed it when he got dragged into the portal during their fight
Funny how Bill can see everything and know when someone’s times up, but he didn’t know when his time was up.
You'd think Bill would've noticed that Ford had five fingers and not six. Guess he was too caught up in the moment. Speaking of Stanley, this seems like a good way of sacrificing yourself without actually dying.
Ford wears gloves so while the finger wasn't taking that space on the glove it would still be 6 fingered gloves, and bill only would have noticed when shaking hands and it would have been too late then.
Stanley could have put something in the 6th finger glove spot, a con man always comes prepared...

@@SamuelSturtridge👊 BAM!
That final “Staaaannellyy!!!!!” will never fail to give me chills.
The MOMENT I first saw this scene, and noticed that the hand Bill shook to enter the mind didn’t have Ford’s extra finger is when I though to myself “Oh, *this* is going to be goooooood.”
I may be late as all hell, but this scene is addicting. The Pines may have been able to prevent Bill from getting his way a few times in the past, like when he first entered Stan’s mind and when he possessed Dipper’s body, but all they where doing was delaying the inevitable, minor setbacks for Bill, and he knew this.
Here though? The one Pines family member he NEVER considered to be a threat practically escorted this nigh-omnipotent concept *into his own grave,* and he had no way of knowing until it was too little, too late. The one person who he never thought would have the balls to try and stop him ended up being the last crucial link that defeated him so thoroughly that *he wouldn’t even live on as a memory.*
Also really glad it hasn’t been flagged “for kids” as most other animated cartoon content has been in recent years just because it’s a cartoon
eight years. we spent 8 years knowing he was gonna come back, dreading what his next plan would be. and he just trapped himself in therapy the whole time. and that's so fucking funny to me.
This makes me cry even up to this day
Bill dying or Stanley losing his memories? For me its kinda both.
This is the best ending to any show I have ever seen, animated or not.
It's dramatic, emotional, the music is epic, the voice acting is great, and it's just so satisfying
For me, this death was very satisfying to see, as at the beginning he was singing he was relaxed, but at the end you see Bill more nervous and desperate because he knew he was going to die at the hands of Stan.
There is something satisfying seeing an interdimensional being pleading to a man like Stan Pines for mercy.
Dude Bill fucking screaming as he gets punched into oblivion is really funny
Alex Hirsch messed with Alex Hirsch's family and Alex Hirsch got punched out of existence by Alex Hirsch while getting erased in Alex Hirsch's mind

Dude even in death this character is terrifying. The whole backwards incantation screaming thing while rapidly changing through a thousand forms…lordy.
I saw someone on Reddit point out that Bill is literally reliving trauma in this scene, considering what happened to his home dimension
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t bill destroy his dimension?
@ yes!
The way Stanley pulls the picture of himself with Mabel and Dipper out of the flames. Everything in his mindspace is a construct. That picture was his memories of Mabel and Dipper. All his memories are being destroyed, and THOSE are the memories he chooses to pick up and hold tight so they burn last of all, even after his memories of who he is (himself). Those are the memories he clings to hardest.
Really tells you just what kind of person Stanley is under that gruff callous appearance.

FILM THEORY THANKS FOR WATCHING
I really love how Bill died here. Obviously, you could say he was tricked, and that is true. However, the deeper reason is that he is selfish. He could never imagine anyone sacrificing their memories and who they are as a person for anyone else, which is why he fell into this trap-he was so desperate to be able to leave Gravity Falls and cause suffering and misery for everyone and everything for his enjoyment that he never once noticed any of the obvious hints that Ford was actually Stan. And, his selfishness is put on full display near the end. When he is being erased, he doesn't express remorse for any of the terrible things he did (the destruction of his original realm, the mass murder of Time Baby and the Time Police, the torturing of Ford, honestly just most of his actions during the series) and instead decides to beg for his life, as to express remorse would mean he would have to feel at least SOMEWHAT bad, which he doesn't, as shown in the series
TLDR: Bill is an inherently selfish being, and ultimately this is what led to his defeat.
It's been years since this legendary show ended, and yet this scene still gives me goosebumps
I come back just to hear Bill squirm and beg for mercy after acting high and mighty the whole series.
Can’t believe Bill is now in rehab.
Punching an evil nacho into a therapy prison like it’s no big deal 😂
That big punch in the eye, chills every time
I like how Bill, the epitome of chaos and self-proclaimed insane, is the one trying to talk some sense into Stan that he's in a way also destroying himself.
I love how Bill managed to basically kill anything in his path but got erased by a middle aged guy in a shack in the middle of the woods
I love the animation in this scene, so glad Disney let this whole bit play out, it's incredibly powerful.
