suspected welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 gravity falls theories that
turned out to be true before we begin we
publish new content every day so be sure
to subscribe to our channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re looking at
ideas that were suggested by fans that
were proven correct throughout the
duration of the show so considering the
nature of this list be aware that there
are major spoilers on the road ahead
number 10 Stan’s Fez at first it seemed
like nothing more than a quirky
accessory in grunkle Stan’s wardrobe but
as time progressed eagle-eyed fans
noticed something strange about Stan’s
Fez the golden symbol on its front
mysteriously changed after a mishap with
a goat prompting people to think that
perhaps it was more than just decorative
as it turns out those sharp-sighted fans
were onto something and the symbol
represents the Royal Order of the holy
mackerel who and what they are is
somewhat of a mystery but people can
rejoice in knowing that even the
smallest symbols in this show have
meaning number 9 dippers real name if
you ever thought that dipper was a
somewhat odd name to gift a child he’d
be right
[Music]
the big tipper it’s revealed in an
exchange between dipper and Wendy that
it’s a nickname derived from a birthmark
on its forehead that looks scarily like
the Big Dipper constellation this
revelation spurred theories about what
dippers real name is with fans noting
that twins names are often similar and
considering the show’s obsession with
codes and secrets
Mason was suggested as a possibility
after the Freemasons and the fact that
it’s similar to Mabel this name was
confirmed in the canonical tie-in book
journal 3 giving fans a serious feeling
of validation magic book ridiculous
number 8 Mabel is the shooting star on
the zodiac when it appeared at the end
of the very first episode
many people disregarded the zodiac
however after multiple appearances
people started taking notice
soon theories abounded blinking each
symbol with a character while some
seemed obvious like dipper being the
Pinetree others were less so
particularly because Mabel wore most of
the symbols at one point or another
however many presumed that she was the
shooting star because it appeared on her
sweater in the first episode while Wendy
was regarded as the icebag and Pacifica
the llama the weirdmageddon episodes
confirmed this and also explained the
meaning of the zodiac and clarified who
else was represented by which symbol
[Music]
number seven the government agents
motives season two of gravity falls
introduced agents powers and trigger now
if you’ll excuse us we’re conducting an
investigation investigation after making
their debut in the season premiere they
were a low-key presence often visible in
the background throughout the season to
remind viewers that there was definitely
more going on than met the eye in
gravity falls while they were eventually
upfront about being present to
investigate the paranormal it’s not
until later in the season that it was
revealed as some suspected that their
job involved more than simply observing
and reporting your uncle’s scam the
whole world you’re gonna let them scam
you too gravity falls is a strange place
and the US government does not appear to
number six Stan’s tattoo from its brief
appearance in the first episode Stan’s
tattoo sparked conversation with how few
times it seemed throughout the show and
with Stan often keeping it hidden it
inspired a whole myriad of theories this
only deepened when in an animated short
dipper tried to get a better look at it
only for Stan to stop him at every turn
you’re never gonna see it kid
for those who suspected that the tattoo
had a deeper meaning finding out that it
was actually a burn mark caused by
Stan’s estranged twin brother was a
triumphant moment and this knowledge
shed light on why Stan was so secretive
about it in the first place some brother
you turned out to be number five the
machine in Stan’s secret lab is a
transdimensional gateway this is a very
specific theory but considering the
goings on in gravity falls it was also a
perfectly plausible one for most of the
show the secret Stan hid in the lab
beneath the mystery shack had people
guessing not only about the nature of
Stan himself but also what kinds of
things he could achieve with what he was
building in secret
here we go of course Stan revealed
himself to be far more intelligent than
anyone suspected managing to rebuild the
broken thing and get it running what was
even more astonishing however was that
it didn’t have some kind of nefarious
purpose Stan just wanted to bring back
his long-lost brother from his
interdimensional travels the author of
the journals Number Four
old man mcgucket no was more than
suspected he’s the town kook so weird
that most people don’t pay too much
attention to him now what did I tell you
about scaring my customers this is your
last warning dad even his son a young
man working as a lake ranger wants
nothing to do with him but mcgucket will
not be ignored with his brilliant
ability to build mechanical beings
mcgucket’s reputation as an inept crazy
man is dispelled early in the show while
he retains his oddities the more the
show progresses the more background we’d
get into his life until finally it’s
revealed that he was once a genius
working alongside Stanford Pines and
that sadly such work ultimately
destroyed his family and his mind
oh god kids I’m so sorry number three
the existence of a secret society it
wouldn’t be a show about mysteries
without a secret society thrown in this
theory takes advantage of people’s
expectations of the genre and thankfully
in this case they were proven correct
while Stan’s Fez proves that there is at
least one secret society running about
the more important one to the plot is
the blind eye society the existence of
this society answers some major
questions about the town like why no one
seems to know that there are
supernatural things happening and it’s
also the catalyst for mcgucket getting
his memories back
why does my beard have a bandage does
that even make sense
number two there is a UFO under gravity
falls if you’ve ever wondered why the
cliffs around gravity falls are oddly
shaped this theory has the answers
you’re looking for
keen minded fans pointed out that the
odd cliffs in the cliffs might have been
caused by a UFO in a town as odd as
gravity falls not only is this
hypothesis not out of place it’s also as
while it’s unknown whether the UFO is
the cause of the paranormal activity or
was drawn to the town because of it
it’s an exciting prospect that it exists
in fact the parts for Stanford’s machine
came from crash site Omega where the UFO
collided with the ground
number one stan has a twin throughout
the run of gravity falls a great many
things just didn’t add up for viewers
and upon watching the show more closely
people began identifying things that
suggested that there was more to grunkle
Stan’s mysterious ways than the
eccentricities of an old man
from the license plate of his car two
pairs of glasses to the man who appears
in flashbacks
it was soon thought that perhaps the
Stan we thought we knew was not himself
at all Stanley what’s going on in here
with the suggestion that he might have a
twin certain Clues began falling into
place and lo and behold in one of the
biggest plot twists in the show Stan’s
twin brother falls out of an
