Stanford is Not What He Seems

I don’t know if someone has pointed this out, but here it goes.

As you know and according to the Gravity Falls wiki, the pictures on the theme song are the antagonists of Gravity Falls:

And guess who’s now on the theme song:

This means that Stanford is an antagonist. They could have placed Stanford somewhere else in the theme song, but they placed him specifically with the antagonists.

Also, remember what Alex said a while ago in an interview for A.V. Club:

“-who is the true villain in Gravity Falls?”

Maybe the true villain in Gravity Falls is Stanford.

As valetparker pointed out:

“I also think after 30 years being in a place that drove McGucket crazy it should have done some pretty terrible things to Stanford, but he seems completely fine. He also acts like 30 years hasn’t passed at all!”

We barely know Stanford and the other side of the portal. What happened in there? How can we trust him?

Stanford is Not What He Seems.
