>>90742645I liked her in season 1, but it became very clear about halfway through season 2 she became the "zany meme fountain" they didn't want her to become
You could take this point as a positive, but an overwhelmingly large amount of problems are caused directly by her and not a lot of them got addressed the way they would have if she'd been any other character
There's the whole "Mabel does something really stupid that immediately causes problems for someone else and she manages to get away with no harm done to her social standing" gag that happens at least twice an episode. Other characters do this, but Stan gets away with stuff because he's a piece of shit, Dipper and Soos get away with stuff because they usually get physically hurt or made fun of in some way afterwards, Mabel gets off scot-free because she's Mabel and her thing is to be "charmingly uncharming".
