Why do older people like Gravity Falls?

I find it strange, and what if the fandom became estranged as the MLP fans?

  • Illuminati or something like that.

    Why does anyone like this show? I've never gotten the appeal of it.

  • Older people like it because unlike MLP, it's aimed at people for all ages. And because of all the references and mystery surrounding it.

  • Because it has a great mysterious story and well writing.

    Opinions, different strokes for different folks. I personally love the character development and continuity aswell as the mysterious story and the humor. However it isn't for everyone, much like everything.

  • Well, for the same reasons people enjoy Adventure Time and Steven Universe.

    The great story, the Art styles, and It's a time killer until their shows get a new season.

  • I thought the same until I actually sat down and watched it properly. I was hooked after a couple of episodes. As someone who grew up in the late 90s/early 00s it feels like a spiritual successor to the shows I used to watch and love, so there's a vibe of nostalgia to it while being something brand new.

    I'm a big animation nerd and comedy buff, and lately there have been a lot of really great animated projects made for younger audiences that are subversive and funny in a way that adults can enjoy too (Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Regular Show, Lego Movie etc). I think it's awesome that a new generation has such experimental and witty things to enjoy like we did in the 80s and 90s. : )

  • Theres a lot of good adult jokes in there, its a well written show that can easily appeal to everybody.
