History ComicBook / GravityFallsLostLegends

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Implied with Bill and his Henchmaniacs. While Mabel falls through dimensions, we see Keyhole and 8 Ball (whose head was healed after being petrified by Wendy in the finale) standing next to a statue of Bill that says "HE WAS THE WORST!". It's unknown if these two are the only who loathe him or if it's a common feeling for all the Henchmaniacs.

** Bigfoot is trudging on the black market's bridge with a cart of legs.

* JerkassRealization: [[spoiler:Mabel FINALLY sees exactly how frustrating her selfishness and short attention span can be when struggling to rally her alternate selves.]]

** Even though she was brainwashed by Bill Cipher, it was still insensitive of Mabel to create a more radical copy of her brother Dipper. Which greatly annoyed him. Here, Mabel has to deal with numerous alternate versions of herself. Which got her so annoyed, that Mabel discovered how self-centered she could be at times.
** After Anti-Mabel tried to replace the real Mabel, and attempted to throw Stan and Ford out of the space ship, Anti-Mabel herself was quickly defeated and the real Mabel threw "her" out of the ship to parts unknown.

* NeverMyFault: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Dipper at the begining of the story, where it was shown that he placed a sign next to a huge crack called "Mabel's Fault". Signifying that Mabel alone caused Weirdmageddon to happen. Even though Dipper withheld information about the dimensional rift, albeit reluctantly on Ford's orders after Ford saw Mabel smashing similar-looking snowglobes on purpose.

* OnlySaneWoman: Ironically, Mabel herself. As she is the only one in Dimension MAB-3L who's focused on finding a way back home while her alternate counterparts are too immersed with their various quirks.

* ShutUpHannibal: [[spoiler: After Anti-Mabel told Prime-Mabel that there will still be a part of her that will be stubborn and self-centered. But Prime-Mabel just responds with ejecting Anti-Mabel out of the Spaceship, and says, "This is for Military Expert-Mabel".]]
* SkewedPriorities: The main reason why Mabel's alternate counterparts couldn't figure out a way back home is that they are too preoccupied with their own personal quirks. The only one who can build a rocket is distracted by her sticker collection.

* TookALevelInKindness: After realizing how bothersome she could be, Mabel vowed that she will be a better person when she returns home. As such, Mabel's first random act of kindness was giving Dipper a new journal. Which Mabel states that the journal will have all of their new adventures in it. And Mabel vowing that she won't hog the spotlight.

* AesopAmnesia: Deconstructed. Mabel, it seems, learned nothing from saving the world when she insists on bringing Waddles along for the rift clean-up missions. Chasing Waddles leads to her getting stranded on a barren planet in the Multiverse, where thousands of her alternate counterparts are there having made a similar decision. Mabel tries to get her smarter selves to work together, only to get frustrated by their AttentionDeficitOohShiny and ItsAllAboutMe attitudes. She's quite horrified to realize that she comes off this way to other people especially when her EvilCounterpart Anti-Mabel deceives her. Anti-Mabel, [[spoiler:before she's tossed into Multiverse space, says that our Mabel will never change and there will always be a part of her wanting to make selfish, inconsiderate decisions]]. Mabel acknowledges that she caused the apocalypse out of selfishness and decides to try to be a better person so that her faults will not get her in this much trouble again.

* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Soos' superpower in the superhero comic is being able to grow gigantic whenever he says "Dude". Pretty effective considering it's his {{catchphrase}}.

** [[spoiler:Ford confronting Stan with the evidence that he stole the chain chillingly echoes their fight about the broken science project years later as teenagers. The difference this time is that Stan gets to properly explain what happened, Ford forgives him and Stan isn't disowned, just grounded for the summer.]]

* AlternateAesopInterpretation: Invoked by Pacifica's mother. She retells the story of The Ugly Duckling and ends it by saying that the duckling was forever alone due to his looks. Telling Pacifica that people only want perfection and beauty. When Pacifica notices the remaining pages, Priscilla promptly tears them out.

* ShaggyFrogStory: Pacifica's parents are obsessed with beauty and perfection. As a child, Pacifica was told the story of The Ugly Duckling by her mother but instead of the duckling turning into a beautiful swan, the Duckling stayed ugly and alone. Pacifica did comment on the story change but Priscilla ripped out the remaining pages.

* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Mabel is quickly frustrated with how none of the other Mabels seem to be all that concerned with getting back to their home dimensions. [[spoiler: However, Mabel began to warm up to them towards the end of the story.]]

* AnAxeToGrind: When getting superpowers in the Superhero Comic, Wendy obtains [[DualWielding two axes]].

* StockDinosaurs: Two of Mabel's alternate counterparts resemble a UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex and a [[PteroSoarer Pterodactyl]].

** ''Don't Dimension It'' is set after the final battle with Bill Cipher, but before Dipper and Mabel's Birthday.
** ''The Jersey Devil’s In The Details'' is set after Stan and Ford find their boat but before they enter high school.

* BlandNameProduct: Pacifica's phone has service from "[=GraviT=]&T". Might be justified, it's highly unlikely that the actual AT&T (or its' predecessor the Bell System) would have wanted to establish communications services in the area, so someone (possibly the Northwests?) did it themselves.

** In one panel, Mabel shows up to give Pacifica a sweater to cheer her up. In [[Recap/GravityFallsS2E20WeirdmageddonPart3TakeBackTheFalls Weirdmagedon part 3]], Pacifica was given a llama sweater.

** A crow has Gideon's taped up amulet from "The Hand That Rocks The Mabel" in its beak.

** Pacifica mentions that Dipper has an "abnormally large head". Although Dipper strongly interjects the comment, [[Recap/GravityFallsS1E7DoubleDipper he himself had admitted that he has a big head when he saw his first clone.]]

* PrecociousCrush: Downplayed, when Pacifica first sees Ford she mistakes him for Stan and asks why he's suddenly "hot".

** A sign post points to several parts of the market, including places called [[Series/TwinPeaks The Black Lodge and The Non-Exist-Tent.]]
** Mr. What's-His-Face briefly carries around a [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask big bag with faces on it, and also has a face in his collection that is eerily reminiscent of the Happy Mask Salesman.]]

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Pacifica is obsessive over her looks because she [[spoiler:worries she doesn't have anything else]] ''and'' because her parents made it pretty clear that people would only love her if she looked pretty, but Dipper says otherwise. She clearly [[ShipTease appreciates this and hugs him.]]

* ArtShift: The crew traverses through the pages and transits into various styles: classic comics, manga, superhero, adult/sci-fi, a ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' spoof, and [[spoiler:the original ''Gravity Falls'' art style when they are outside of the panels and during a flashback.]]

** Soos ends up falling in between the margins and crawling over a wall to find Stan, Wendy uses her ax to rip into the page, and Mabel uses [[spoiler:white-out to get rid of the yellow box.]]

* MythologyGag: One of Stan's favorite comics is ''Captain Nazi-Puncher''. Alex Hirsch had once tweeted that [[https://twitter.com/_alexhirsch/status/897609281519763456 he'd be very cool with drawings of Grunkle Stan punching Nazis.]]
* NoodleIncident: Back in 1973, Stan apparently got into a fistfight with [[Creator/StanLee another famous old guy named Stan.]]

** Ford asks Stan "what's Dipper's real name?", lampshading that [[Literature/GravityFallsJournal3 he knows Dipper's real name.]]

** The alien trucker initially refused to let Stan and Ford hitch a ride because [[Literature/GravityFallsJournal3 one of them is a known criminal with wanted posters scattered all over the dimensions. The trucker even mentions Lottocron 9.]] Stan's reaction and Ford's explanation behind this echoes what Ford wrote in ''Journal 3''.

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:After Military Expert-Mabel seemingly died from her wounds at the climax, Anti-Mabel blasted everyone with the alien adhesive. Some of the adhesive landed on Military Expert-Mabel's wounds. Which ultimately revived her]].

* EvilGloating: Anti-Mabel does this after she [[spoiler:tricks and locks Mabel in an outhouse, as well as at Stan and Ford when she incapacitates them with Ford's alien adhesive.]]
* EvilTwin: Mabel meets Anti-Mabel, "the most '''evil''' Mabel in the multiverse", who tries to leave Dimension MAB-3L, [[spoiler: take over Mabel's life, and intends to wreak havoc on her dimension.]]

* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Mabel is quickly frustrated with how none of the other Mabels seem to be all that concerned with getting back to their home dimensions. [[spoiler: However, Mabel began to warm up to them towards the end of the story]].

* ShutUpHannibal: [[spoiler: After Anti-Mabel told Prime-Mabel that there will still be a part of her that will be stubborn and self-centered. But Prime-Mabel just responds with ejecting Anti-Mabel out of the Spaceship, and says, "This is for Military Expert-Mabel"]].

* SpannerInTheWorks: Had Waddles not jumped out of Mabel's backpack, [[spoiler: Mabel would never have realized how bothersome she could be at times, and her alternate universe counterparts would have been stuck in Dimension MAB-3L.]]

* SpotTheImposter: Stan and Ford are at a loss at which Mabel is the real Mabel, with Ford calling both of them "equally adorable" and musing why this "always happens" with doubles. It's only when Mabel pulls off Anti-Mabel's sweater, revealing an [[spoiler: "I hate cats" shirt]], that they know for sure and eject Anti-Mabel out of the vehicle.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Implied with Bill and his Henchmaniacs. While Mabel falls through dimentions we see Keyhole and 8 Ball (whose head was healed after being petrified by Wendy in the finale) standing next to a statue of Bill that says "HE WAS THE WORST!". It's unknown if these two are the only who loathe him or if it's a common feeling for all the Henchmaniacs.

* UnexplainedRecovery: The last time we saw 8 Ball (one of Bill's Henchmaniacs), his head was petrified by Wendy during the Shacktron battle in the finale. Here his head is recovered without explanation.
* VillainHasAPoint: Anti-Mabel tells Mabel, [[spoiler:there Will always be a part of her that wants to make selfish, inconsiderate decisions. While Mabel responds by sending her out of the airlock, she promises Dipper that she will do her best to be less selfish]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Ford confronting Stan with the evidence that he stole the chain chillingly echoes their fight about the broken science project years later as teenagers. The difference this time is that Stan gets to properly explain what happened, Ford forgives him and Stan isn’t disowned, just grounded for the summer.]]
** When the brothers steal Dickie and Ascot’s clothes to get into the lighthouse, the combination of the red sweater and brown jacket Ford wears is a child version of his main outfit when he’s an adult.
* FreeRangeChildren: Stan and Ford are allowed to roam all over Glass Shard Beach, as long as they’re home for dinner.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:After Stan confesses to stealing the chain and explaining why he did it, Filbrick grounds Stan...but he does allow Ford to stay with him, despite him not having anything to do with the incident. It’s also shown that he did appreciate both Stan’s honesty and the "#1 Dad" message on it, as he and their mother are shown looking at it with proud smiles.]]

* NoodleIncident: According to Stan and Ford’s reactions when Filbrick calls for them, it’s far from the first time that he referred to both of them as Stan.
** When Filbrick is accusing Stan of stealing the gold chain, he lists off other things he’s done, including stealing Mrs. Crampleter’s glass eye and setting up a "crab fighting ring."

* ParentalHypocrisy: Filbrick calls out Stan for lying and scamming people…despite the fact that he and his wife make money scamming people and lying.

* YoungFutureFamousPeople: In the article about The Jersey Devil that Stan and Ford read, there’s a comment by a ten year old Music/BruceSpringsteen.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Pacifica's insecurity over her appearance stems from her [[AbusiveParents parents']] [[SarcasmMode usual A-plus parenting]], with her mother essentially telling her to her face that people will only love her if she looks good.

*** Ford wears ''[[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]]'' visor as "Six-Shooter", and his use of twin {{BFG}}s brings to mind Cyclops's son ''ComicBook/Cable''.

** The fifth comic they enter is "The Indestructi-Buddies!", is a nod to the ''WesternAnimation/SuperFriends''. Several of the powers the gang gets are likewise nods to other superhero comic characters.

* ArtShift: The crew traverses through the pages and transits into various styles: classic comics, manga, superhero, adult/sci-fi, a ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' spoof, and [[spoiler: the original ''Gravity Falls'' art style when they are outside of the panels and during a flashback.]]

** Earlier, when when in the Superhero comic and faced with superpowered opponents, Soos quickly grabs the recap box on top of the page, and alters the text to [[DeusExMachina give himself and the others superpowers]].

* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Soos superpower in the superhero comic is being able to grow gigantic.

* ShoutOut:

** The first page they enter is in the ''Creator/HarveyComics'' style.
** The gritty style of the comic Soos dubs as "The Grimdark Chronicles" is very obviously done in the style of Mike Mignola's ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'', with Dipper even being seen with a giant fist almost identical to Hellboy's.
** The superhero team, ''The Indestructi-Buddies!'' is a nod to the WesternAnimation/SuperFriends.
** The shady purple "creature" with a big, pointed nose and trenchcoat looks similar to the black and white ''ComicStrip/SpyVsSpy'' characters, and also pulls slapstick gags on Ford and the others.
** The [[spoiler:Lil' Stanley]] pages are a spoof of the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}''.
** A certain Sarcasti-pup is clearly not a reference to a [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} sassy feline]].

** One of the faces in Mr. What's-His-Face's collection is ''The Scream'', by Creator/EdvardMunch.

* AdultFear: Seeing your Great-Niece grabbed by a hand monster, then dragged into a dimensional portal, and having no idea where she is. Also finding out that said Great-Niece was replaced with an evil doppelganger who plans to get rid of you in order to cause mayhem to your world.

* TakeThatAudience: Shmebulock's obsession with the Pines family and their friends is a playful rib at the devoted fans of ''Gravity Falls''.

* TakeThatAudience: At the end, Shmebulock begins asking for more Gravity Falls adventures. He even asks for a new ''season''.
