While Mabel Pines has received a lot of reasonably deserved flack over the years, she doesn’t really deserve the hatred that comes with it.
Ever since Gravity Falls wrapped up its two-season run in 2016, one of the few areas of discourse and controversy in the fandom has been whether Mabel Pines (Kristen Schaal) can be considered overly selfish and perhaps unlikable or poorly written. Takes on Mabel have ranged from her being the show’s one true hero to its real villain responsible for Weirdmaggeddon. It is difficult to find a nuanced take on the debate, but the simplest answer is that the accusations are both true and unwarranted.
Mabel Pines was one half of the Pines twins duo who acted as the core protagonists of Gravity Falls. Generally, either Dipper or Mabel would be the primary protagonist of an episode. Dipper was more often the main focus than Mabel, but overall, the show was the tale of both twins. As the series went on, it became clear what the twins’ contrasting character faults were: Dipper wanted to grow up too fast and often wound up making mistakes by overthinking things, while Mabel wanted to stay a kid and often screwed up by acting out of selfishness.
What Are Fans’ Issues With Mabel Pines?
To many a fan, the frustrations with Mabel came from the fact that she would, more often than Dipper, get her own way rather than having to sacrifice something and learn a lesson. From guilting Dipper into rescinding his date with Wendy to get back her pet pig to the finale having Dipper give up his seemingly perfect chance to work with Ford so he could be there with her in middle school, it seemed to many that Mabel would never learn a lesson and remain selfish for good, which, for a supposed protagonist, wasn’t enough character development.
However, while these accusations aren’t without merit, they ultimately miss many important points. The first is that Mabel fails to get her way just as often as she succeeds, if not more so; many episodes see Mabel either losing or actively giving up something she wants after learning her lesson. Mabel has a few episodes where Dipper makes sacrifices to please her but plenty more where she either suffers from her own kindness to others or works hard to get what she wants.
Why Mabel Pines Is Judged So Harshly
The sad answer to why people judge Mabel is that she’s a female character, and flaws in heroines are scrutinized more than flaws in heroes, but there are other possible reasons for the issue. Fans may easily see Dipper’s desire to grow up too fast as more justified and noble than Mabel’s desire; plenty of Gravity Falls fans are adults who know that staying a kid too long can have disastrous consequences, and thus find Dipper’s wish not only easier to relate to but more admirable. In fact, a common argument over the Weirdmageddon conflict is that Dipper would get a better job if he stayed with Ford, which is not an argument the show’s younger fanbase would make. And for those who do relate to Mabel, the fact that she seemingly gets to win that debate may be frustrating to those who want her to learn that lesson.
Also, the show spending a little more time with Dipper as a protagonist means there is more room for fans to connect to him and his struggles and a little less time to see Mabel. While both approaches are intended to be flawed, Dipper’s is simply the one given more airtime. This may be the real reason why fans view Mabel’s flaws with a harsher lens than Dipper’s, but in the end, a twelve-year-old not learning as easily as an adult shouldn’t merit accusations of villainy.
