    I love that even the animation team were made deeply uncomfortable by the deer teeth. It's a sign of a great sequence when even the creators are giving it the side eye

  • @MegaChickenfish
    @MegaChickenfish 2 года назад +2508

    I love the cut scene as a scene but as an introduction to Bill as we'd see him I agree with the change. "Deer teeth" really establishes that he's not only chaotic and carefree, but also *absolutely terrifying.*

    • @cromanticheer
      @cromanticheer 2 года назад +70

      Yeah, I also feel like "Gideon summoned Bill" would be underwhelming as a "reveal." Gideon would be such an obvious candidate for Bill's summoning that I feel like the fans would've started suspecting all kinds of outlandish candidates and get disappointed for it to just be Gideon again.
      Gideon works as a villain because he's easy to dismiss up until he demonstrates his willingness to get involved with the supernatural. And I think showing those moments where Gideon crosses those lines are such great character moments that make him legit intimidating.

    Bill's introduction was so incredibly iconic that I'm surprised that it was added so late. "Deer teeth, for you, kid," "I know lots of things," the blue-fire handshake, that one frame of him snapping his fingers that shows up anywhere anyone mentions Bill Cipher, his ending ramble...

  • @GoofballPaul

    I've gotta say, the way Bill wobbles back and forth in Matt's storyboard right after coming out of the portal is hilarious, that and many other movements (+ the perfectly round eye) give it an even more chaotic and goofy feeling that I love. I wish I could hear dialogue for that sotryboard.

    It was never in Bill's interest in any way to tip Dipper off that he existed and what his plans are. Not a smart move. So I thought the deleted scene, while it had cool ideas, was weak in terms of storytelling. Bill revealing himself when summoned by the desperate and gullible Gideon was a better approach.
