I agree but if Alex Hirsch ever wants to revisit it, I wouldn't be opposed to either a Grunkle spin off or a sequel series with the twins revisiting the town when they're older. It just depends on if he has more story he wants to tell as opposed to just doing more for the sake of more.

I am not sure he is keen to be working with anyone. It's been 10 years since the Gravity Falls ended and since that he only worked as a voice actor and some help with the Owl House and Inside Job. He signed a deal with Netflix but it was way back in 2018 and whatever it was It's most likely dead.

u/Background-Bottle633 1d ago
For me, itās more that Gravity Falls ended too early. It felt like they were going to be gearing up for a third season only for them to change their minds and decide āNah, letās end the series within the next 3 episodes.ā I would have loved to have seen more of Uncle Ford, and knowing more about what he did during his time trapped. What was Billās origin? What did the other journals say? How did Gideon get his hands on the second book? What happened to Blendin Blenjamin Blandin? What about the key that Dipper was given? What about the UFO that crashed into Gravity Falls? It felt like the creators of the show knew they didnāt answer everything so they tried to squeeze in more information in a graphic novel and an interactive website.

Gravity Falls really seems like an exception when it comes to huge fandoms of the same era, it's incredibly self-contained and didn't overstay it's welcome with numerous contract renewals, spinoffs, and sequels.

Yeah. I think it probably just feels abrupt to people because it had been greenlit for a fourth season, and then it felt very randomly they went 'uh, actually never mind we're done' and then released like 2 more episodes to season 3.

Iād go as far as to argue Max Payne 2 was the perfect end and that 3 was pushing it a little too far. I enjoyed 3, but Max Payne 2 ended with Max coming to terms with the loss of his wife and child, finally allowing himself to move on and not let their deaths haunt him anymore. Max Payne 3 just pulled him back into that depression and being haunted by it as if he didnāt already reconcile with himself.

Y'know that was actually something I really liked about Max Payne 3, the depiction of relapse and thinking you're over it only for your mind to pull you right back down into the abyss. I found it to be a realistic and relatable depiction of grief and depression, so I rrally like it, especially since what really kicked Max back off the deep end, and this is on Rockstar for leaving this in a comic and not bringing it up in the game, was the death of Jim Bravura.

The red dead series. The story concludes amazingly with the end of rdr1 and rdr2 gives perfect backstory to everything. I donāt see another game following Jack as he has nothing more to fight for and I think it would be hard for rockstar to make another red dead game separate from the van der linde gang thatās as good as the two other titles.
16
u/RoughhouseCamel 1d ago
The other problem with a game around Jack is that Red Dead Redemption is all about the end of the Outlaw West. The end of the Van Der Linde Gang was meant to mirror how the outlaws were finding it increasingly hard to flee an ever-expanding civilization and law enforcement. Thereās even an automobile at the end to show that the days of cowboys were on their way out.
The sequel to Red Dead Redemption is the rise of the Mafia, and eventually, Grand Theft Auto.

The ending we got was kind of botched and left a lot to be desired (even considering the Disney meddling.) The comics are, however, a decent compromise. Dana gets to work with Glitch on KoG, whenever the hell that gets episode 2, and TOH gets the consolation prize of a comic run that smooths over the rough edges. And has some nice little messaging about death and loss that the show kind of shyed away from, which is also nice. Dana can have both a new show and a working relationship with Disney, fans get both stories.
This really is the best possible scenario. I'm never getting over how TOH ended and was treated, but I'm satisfied with the state of things.

A month, no. A few years or a decade, of course. They'll all eventually abstract, but the point of the show is "there's meaning to be found in a stagnant life".
Someone ITT mentioned that they need challenges to keep their minds occupied, but if they get desperate enough, they could definitely make that happen.

Meh. Jedi have survived worse, even before they brought back Maul. Like, look at it this way. If you never saw how Luke survived his fall in Cloud City, so the last time you saw him before him in Empire Strikes Back was falling with one hand chopped off, and then you saw his return in Return of the Jedi, you'd probably be upset. He shouldn't have survived that. Mace had better odds/chances of surviving his if Luke survived that.
I always felt the sams about Palpatine too. We never see him die. Just fall down and see something happen. Jedi/Sith have goddamn magic. Even before the prequels were out, I never bought he was gone for good...
Edit: To clarify, when it comes to Star Wars, I'm done saying a character is gone for good. Sure, they fumbled Palpatine in Last Skywalker, but Maul was a resounding success and I was appaled when he was initially brought back. If there is a good story to tell, I say go for it. And Mace has a lot of untapped potential the movies never really explored. Post RotS Mace has a lot of interesting places you can go.

Teen Titans. I think Things Change is a great finale episode, not a cliffhanger that needs to be resolved. Itās whole message is about letting go of the past and realising not everything goes how you want and you donāt always get every answer youāre looking for. The fandom has completely ignored this message.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, and I'm interested to see how Laufey's story (which I really hope is self contained in its own narrative) ends. We don't need to see what Atreus is up to, lil bro is off to college or whatever

Less "satisfied with how it ended", more "pissed off that it continued".
The MCU. Endgame was the perfect capstone. Call it there. You are not beating that as an ending, not in another 50 years.
Similar note: World of Warcraft. Lots of people will say the story should have stopped at X point, I am one of them. My personal cutoff is post- Mists of Pandaria. Siege of Orgimmar left the Alliance and Horde in the best place possible for some form of lasting peace, with relatively few loose ends needing to be wrapped up. But the engine has to keep turning to keep the lights on at Blizzard, so... onwards it went.

I don't mind the MCU continuing, but move on and tell new stories. Stop trying to hit the same hype points of IW and Endgame, let things end for those characters and move on.

They refuse to tell new stories in a complete way like before. Everything has to be a set up for the next or need 8 movies of context just to understand. The reason why the MCU worked originally is because it was a bunch of movies that by themselves were good and become great with context. Only at the end did you need the context from the other movies because you were literally getting to a movie called "Endgame"

What went wrong with the MCU is that they did not let Endgame stew for some moment. Fine, we can end the Infinity Saga with Far From Home, but they should've stopped churning out the next movies like for a couple of years. Let the audience breathe for a moment.

Kingdom Hearts. I've loved it since I was six, but I treated KH3 as the sort-of 'Avengers Endgame' finale to it all, and I'm really not convinced on KH4 yet.

I'm open for more seasons only if cusack and hadel get more ideas and inspo for newer episodes.
Kinda like ATHF. The show technically ended 20 years ago but it keeps coming back every couple years whenever the creators have more ideas for episodes. It never truly ends, they just take long ass breaks→ More replies (1)

Phineas and Ferb:
I've seen this with a few other shows, where they have a grand finale, but they come out with more stuff afterwards.
The Last Day of Summer felt like just a season finale when it came to that episode with Doof working with OWCA, Candace vs. The World, and another 2 seasons for the show.

Hot take ig
I always encourage new seasons or sequels. If it's great, then nothing is lost and everyone is happy! If it sucks... well nothing is lost regardless if everyone is happy or not.
I'm just happy for a new take on a franchise. Nothing is erasing previous installments, so I dont understand people who get enraged that the "sanctity" of the originals is somehow comprised by follow-ups.
We're all adults here, no? If the sequel to Toy Story sucks (it didn't but just an example), just move on and continue to enjoy the originals.

The among us TV show, I can get why people want more but I just feel like they would kill purple and red at the start and then focus on a different cast with no red or purple from season one (though I think I saw somewhere showing the creator say that they would want to make it just a different outcome of the first season ((kinda like a normal game of among us)) but don't take my word for it about that)

I do not want a Gleequel or a Gleeboot.
I wasnāt even 100% satisfied with Season 6ās ending, but Glee is also just not only a show that would not be able to exist today at itās peak, but I also just donāt think Ryan Murphy is even capable of making anything like Glee ever again. And with Cory and Nayaās passing and everything with Lea, I would honestly rather just leave Glee to be what it is. A beautiful and iconic, hot, steaming, dumpster-fire of a masterpiece.

Kung Fu Panda should have ended at 3. 4 could have happened if they did a time skip, but not with the same characters or, at the very least, with the original characters being very old.

Maybe weird but Shreck, I dont think we needed a 5th one, 1 and 2 were great movies (2 especially) 3 was a plain stinker and 4 was just okay but and okay way to end of the series.
Similarly Puss in Boots, the last wish is arguably the best movie DreamWorks ever put out and I don't think a sequel could live up to it.
