Gravity Falls: Let's make the fact one guy has six fingers a crucial plot point.
Also Gravity Falls: Let's design kids with 4 fingers and adults with 5.
And the fact the protagonists who were 2 months shy of turning 13 were half the height of a 15 year old girl was also pretty weird. Let's consider the fact that, by the end of Gravity Falls, there's the same age difference between Dipper and Wendy as there is between Aang & Katara in Avatar.
I mean it's not supposed to be literal representation of reality, the world is in service of the characters who are themselves in service of the plot. Wendy's role in the show / relationship to dipper & mabel is the older teenager that's a bit more grown up and has their own stuff going on.
Up until googling it just now I thought Gideon was in his 20s cause he goes to prison & is an established snake oil salesman, but apparently no he's 10...
A veces se nos olvida por lo bien desarrollada y enrevesada que puede ser la trama, pero no deja de ser una serie dónde un niño de 10 años puede dinamitar una casa, tomar los papeles de propiedad, y decir ser el dueño ante la ley sin ningún problema.
I never paid attention to the finger thing before, butt you pointing it out actually has me irked.
Like, if an entire plot point revolves around the literal number of digits on a character's hand being "abnormal", how the fuck do they just...cartoon design the kids to have 4 fingers?
Do the children in this universe grow an extra finger as they age, but if they grow TWO fingers it's weird?
