      I know some people don’t like the continuation but I do hope they react
      to the 2019 film Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection
      it’s such a masterpiece and yes there are slight changes to the film so that it could move forward but it’s such a beautiful film and it shows more in depth the love that LELOUCH has and the ones
      who truly love him and that deserves a reaction on there channel after code geass the tv show ends ya know 🥰🥰

    Those were in fact the actual voice actors for Dipper and Wendy, Jason Ritter and Linda Cardellini in the live-action bubble. Also, I really wish they hadn't cut Bill's villain song from this, it's super catchy. And I love how surprised Bill is when he kills Time Baby, like he really didn't think he could do that.

      @justicefool3942 4 месяца назад

      @@tycol322 It's called a Vigenère cipher.
      With it you take the plaintext "XPCVEAOQFOXSO" and a key, which in this case is "Bluebook" (the keyword was in "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future"), and you move along the plain text and you shift the letter down some amount of letters based on the key, where A=0, B=1,C=2 and so on (basically, take whatever place the letter of the key is in the alphabet and subtract 1 from that). If a letter in the key is "A", you don't shift it at all, but since our key is "Bluebook", that won't be relevant.
      For example, the first letter in the key "Bluebook" is "B", so you will shift the first letter in the plain text down one, because B is the second letter of the alphabet, so X becomes W. The next letter in the key is L, which is the 12th letter of the alphabet, so we will shift down the next letter of the plaintext by 11. The next letter is P, so that will become "E". For the third letter of the key, U is the 21st letter, so we will shift down the next letter in the plaintext by 20. This is where we run into our first special case, because the next letter of the plaintext is "C", so what we do in this instance is loop back around the alphabet once we get to "A" so the next letter we will check is "Z". If you do this, the next letter in the cipher is "I". You keep doing this, looping the key so when you get to the end of "BlueBook", you start it again, and you will get "Weirdmageddon" as the answer.
      This text shifting is why you can have the same letters encrypt to different letters, or have different letters encrypt to the same letter within the Cipher. It's also very hard to break if you don't have access to the key and you don't have modern computers, which is why it was a dominant encryption method for hundreds of years.

    Bill is a dream demon, so he's able to manipulate the reality of dreams. This is why he's vulnerable in the mindscape, because other people can imagine stuff to combat him. But in the real world, they can't do that, but he still possesses his reality warping power even in the real world. That's why he's so powerful.

    Spoiler-free things!
    1. The monster with the arm head used to be voiced by Louis C. K. But then stuff... happened with him so Alex Hirsch re-did the lines.
    2. Those were the actual voice actors in the live action part. There was supposed to be a whole scene where they would examine themselves and be horrified as their live-action counterparts, but they cut it for time.
    3. Bill was supposed to have a song in this episode, but cut that for time for some ungodly reason. Someone animated and sung the whole thing somewhere on youtube.
    4. This is the only episode where Mabel doesn't speak.

    The creativity in the animation of these last few episodes is out of this world. Bill's sequences in the show are often the most creative and weird in a show filled with these moments, but now it's an entire world and episodes of the Bill sequences. It genuinely feels like an apocalypse is happening.

    There's a ton of awesome and weird moments to do deep dives on (like Bill's version of the show intro, the various art styles Dipper and Wendy go through in the weirdness bubbles, Preston Northwest getting some amazing karmic backlash for his horrible parenting habits). But I'll just focus on a great little moment that didn't make it into the episode; Bill Cipher's own song.
    Neil Cicierega (the comedic oddball behind such internet sensations as Potter Puppet Pals, The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, and many other bizarre song mashups) actually wrote and recorded a song for Bill to sing at some point in the episode called "It's Gonna Get Weird." It featured such wonderfully weird lyrics as "_Look at this weather. I can do better! Mandelbrot Rainbows! Screaming Tornadoes!_" And all of this would accompany has reality warping antics he inflicted on the town.
    It unfortunately had to be cut due to time constraints, but the song itself was still provided to the fanbase. Since then, several fan animators have created animatics to match the song. Some even managed to match the voice masking for Bill Cipher almost perfectly. It's an amazing little extra for this series that I highly recommend you both check out.

    In the Spanish dub, they adapted the dialogue to avoid the use of the word butt.
    So Wendy says to Gideon:

    Or shocks.

    Okay, time for my favorite Gravity Falls lore dump!
    When Bill snaps Time Baby out of existence, it is believed that he is dead. In fact, it’s stated.
    However, in a clip that went around on the Disney Channel during season one, Dipper asks a magic mailbox when the world will end. The mailbox says 3012 (1000 years from when the show takes place) and Dipper says that “we’ve got a while.”
    Each episode has a cipher at the end of it (I recommend looking at all of them. Really, I do) and the one for this episode is: “It will take 1000 years for Time Baby to regenerate, and when he does, he’s going to be very angry” (I’m paraphrasing here. I apologize.)
    This means that Time Baby will return and bring the literal apocalypse. Which is, in my opinion, the coolest piece of lore for Gravity Falls.

    First of all, great episode. The craziness of Gravity Falls never ceases to impress me.
    I'm not quite sure how you handle recommendations but I just thought I could put it in the comments.
    I just want to apologize for the wall of text that is about to come but I am very passionate about this show, sorry.
    Anyways, Star Wars the Clone Wars has been my favorite show as far back as I can remember (I might be biased because I watched it during my childhood). The animated show is set between the second and third prequel movies and is about 130 episodes long (20-25 minute long episodes) as well as a movie. I would say that you don't have to watch the movies to watch the show but it is good to know a bit about the world, characters and what Star Wars is about or have someone at your side explain some details. Personally, I don't remember having watched the movies and just had some background information about them when watching the show. At the same time, having watched the Star Wars movies doesn't ruin the show either. It is actually quite interesting to see some of the foreshadowing for future events. The show will however spoil you for the movies the same way that the movies spoil the show to some extent, but as I said before, the “spoilers” don't ruin it (it is most likely intended to be watched after the movies because of its release date).
    As to what it is about, it is set during the clone wars and we mainly follow some of the Jedi and their clone forces during the war. There are some characters that the show mainly revolves around but we still get to see events with many other characters, both good and evil. The clone wars is a war between the republic and the separatists (republic=”good guys” and separatists=”bad guys”) where one side is mainly fighting with droids and Sith and the other side fights with clones and Jedi. The clones are (as you can tell by the name of the show) a very important part of the war and most of the episodes focus on the Jedi and the clones. It is both hilarious and heartbreaking at times and surprisingly brutal considering that it is rated 6+.
    Because it can be seen as a filler between the movies, it might seem a bit “fillery” at first but there are several arcs that span across a number of episodes. The episodes' events are also connected to each other and still bring the story forward. Because of the way the show has been released the episodes are a bit less connected at first but start to follow the narrative in a better way later on. An important note is that the episodes are recommended to be watched in a specific order so that they follow the correct timeline. For example you would actually start by watching the 16th episode of the second season. The correct order can be found on the official Star Wars website or just by googling. Overall, as it is with many shows, it's somewhat slow at first but just gets better and better with time. The first season's animation is also a bit “crusty” because it was first released in 2008 but it is still quite good for its time (and the animation improves a lot very quickly).
    There are also many interesting themes to be discussed from the show like morality, good and evil, politics, sacrifice, loyalty and just war and the effects of it itself. The clones are also an incredibly interesting concept that really isn't explored nearly enough in the movies. They really get their time to shine in this show and how they deal with their purpose, individuality and loss is incredibly intriguing.
    Sorry for the rambling, but I just love this show so much. It's quite different from anything you have watched before on the channel and also quite long, but maybe that isn't an issue. I think that everyone should have the chance to watch the Clone Wars but if you decide to watch it after finishing other projects is obviously up to you and depends on if you and other viewers are interested in it. It's just a suggestion :)
    Also, if I forgot something (which I definitely did) or wrote something incorrect, please correct me :)
