The Disney Executives Originally HATED Not What He Seems - Alex Hirsch 2017 Q&A

I mean, it's not the first time Disney has been stupid in terms of something to do with GF but wow...they really seemed to have hated Not What He Seems that much cause it didn't make them laugh?! Uh...that was the whole goal of the episode...being a serious one, lmao.

This is a clip from Alex Hirsch's previously lost Q&A interview at the 2017 Momocon. The full footage was recently refound on this obscure knock off Facebook like site. Honestly amazing this footage was refound as it was thought lost for years.

I love how everyone agrees on what the absolute best episode was. Thats really rare

[Nadia-wdnm]

This really proves that the Disney executives have no idea what they're doing cause that episode is definitely one of the best episodes and they thought it was bad??

[mr.explodey]

the fact that this show was even allowed to be as good as it is was a miracle

[ThatGFFAN]

With their logic, those executives must've REALLY hated True Colors 0_0

[gracekim]

Yeah that episode is meant to be tense, Disney

[PhantoMace]

Maybe it is misunderstood that "hated" and "bad" means Disney thought it was poor quality.
What if instead Disney is desperate to make money, and they think if an episode is not funny enough for kids, they won't make money. They do not consider it a poor episode, it's just not what they had in mind.

[gracekim]

Wow, Disney must loathe true colours too 😅

[zandyman]

The jokes in Not What He Seems were hilarious.

Just goes to show it only matters what the fans and the creator think!

[daninoob]

Fuck, this proves that those disney executives must be like those persons that think that if the episode has 40000 farts jokes, it will be successful and they will make a lot od money, this episodes is one of the best in gravity falls, and disney thought it was bad?!

[mediakira]

Think this is definitely where Disney decided to go “yeah no more story driven shows anymore”

[liamphibia]

Well whatever opinions those executives had, they're completely outweighed by the general public's reaction.

[alexblake]

This is actually pretty telling on why Disney corporate culture has such an issue and why Marvel movies are constantly undercutting themselves by forcing jokes into moments that should be played seriously with no laughs.

Please keep gravity falls alive and continue your content

[TentacledProductions]

Ironic that it became the best episode of the show. 😂

[icecreamhero]

Such incompetence. Not every episode is going to be a laugh riot. They can do an exciting one. Also that Several Times is over rated bit always gets me.

[danielgudinojuarez]

Really, the Disney executives thought it was bad and yet Frozen 2 was a critical mess to begin with

[duckdabro]

Like Disney would know the most about humor

[Scarfy]

this anecdote really helps explain the current state of the mcu tbh

Not what he seems is my favorite episode. It’s actually beautiful.
