tmw you realize that in the finale Alex Hirsch pretty much had a good argument with Alex Hirsch and then punched Alex Hirsch for hurting his family….
Alex Hirsch also rose from the grave run by Robbie’s parents
And then Alex Hirsch decided to give the shack to Alex Hirsch to take over
Alex Hirsch moved into a fancy mansion after the Northwest family tried to make a deal with Alex Hirsch
my god alex you’re everywhere!
@pinesinthewoods made a post earlier about this and I thought it was an interesting (and heartbreaking) parallel.
Ford was initially characterized in the fandom to be self-absorbed and only caring for the safety of himself but this parallel shows the complete contrary. Stanford takes the safety of his family as a priority more than anything else in the world. He was actually willing to make a deal with Bill and sacrifice the entire universe to save his niece and nephew from imminent death by the hands of Bill. He loves them unconditionally.
Even his brother Stan. Defeating Bill would mean having to wipe his brother’s memories clean, and he can’t even bear to look on at what he’s about to do. His hands are trembling violently. He doesn’t want to do this to his dear twin but there is no other way to be rid of the demon that has tormented him for over 30 years.Meanwhile, Ford is perfectly calm while he’s being scanned by alien droids which are much more dangerous to his own safety. He doesn’t care about what will happen to him—what matters to him is the people he loves. Ford would be willing sacrifice his own life for anyone in his family in a heartbeat if they were put in the face of danger.
He was sort of an enigma at the time of his introduction, but his colors really began to show as of late, and this parallel really spoke to me. Throughout the finale Ford showed so much concern for the wellbeing of his relatives over his own, it’s not even funny.
Gravity Falls (2012-2016)
If you’ve ever taken a road trip through the Pacific northwest, you’ve probably seen a bumper sticker for a place called Gravity Falls.
i was so busy wondering if i could that i didn’t stop to think if i should
I dONT KNOW WHAT I WAS EXPECTING
I JUST SPAT OUT MY DRINK
i’M CRYING
FUCKING
I was rewatching Take Back The Falls and holy shit the voice acting during the deal with Bill scene was phenomenal, especially once you know about the twist. When “Stan” said “Don’t do it, Ford! He’ll take over the universe!” it sounded kinda forced, like someone who’s bad at acting or lying. Which makes sense when you realize Ford doesn’t have much practice at lying. And “Ford’s” voice sounds more gravely than normal, more like Stan who’s impersonating his brother at that moment.
Alex Hirsch and JK Simmons acted the hell out of that scene and it was awesome.
they did this sorta thing when bill possessed blendin too!! his stuttering sounded forced and like someone was trying to impersonate him instead of him talking naturally
The voice direction on this show was so good
I knew exactly what was gonna happen when ford mentioned he could kill bill if he didn’t have his metal plate and I was still shocked
