>>92340127>Gideon felt more like a serious threat for most of the show.I feel like Bill's involvement in the finale should have utilized Gideon more prominently. Like, Gideon should still have been the final boss for the show, and Bill's role would have been more along the lines of the trickster god who is the source of Gideon's final boss powers.
That way, when he's defeated, Bill is allowed to look have his overarching mystique and power while still losing to the Pines family, because he didn't technically LOSE so much as his mortal puppet lost. As a bonus, this keeps the mysterious air over Gravity Falls intact, as it establishes that while Bill may have lost the battle, he's still watching over Gravity Falls.
But this is all shitty fanfiction, and at the end of the day what we got was passable. Not good, not terrible, just passable.
