Bill Cipher
The main antagonist of the Gravity Falls television series, a show that was produced by Disney. Of course, there might be some legal licencing stuff that they'd have to fix, and Disney has never used a television franchise in OUAT, but if they do find a way to add him I think he could be a good idea.

1. As stated earlier in this forum, a villain that is more powerful than Rumpelstiltskin is needed if the show wants to stay original. Bill clearly is more powerful, with near-limitless reality warping, possession, his amazing strategical talents and the physiology of a being with more than three dimensions (which, in mathematics, makes Bill infinitely greater than any 3rd-dimensional being, such as ourselves or the characters in the show).

2. Bill is dark. Like, really dark. So dark that he threatened to rip the molecules of two children apart. Considering that not a lot of villains have ever been that dark, Bill could be a unique villain.

Darth Vader
The main antagonist of Star Wars films 4-6. Again, very much a stretch due to his sci-fi origins (although Frankenstein and Hyde exist, and they could also rewrite his backstory) and the fact that he is owned by Lucasfilms (although it is owned by Disney, and they have shown that they can use franchises from companies that they own (such as Brave)) but still, cool.

1. Darth Vader existing could introduce a sci-fi realm. As said on the page for it, Season 7 will have more realms. Plus, a sci-fi realm could introduce more franchises easily (Wall-E, Monsters Inc., etc.).

2. He would be really unique. Lightsabers, the Force, his army of Stormtroopers, his characteristics and many other things.

3. The plot twist. Darth Vader was Luke's father in the series, and we all know that it was an amazing plot twist at the time. So what if they do the same? What if Vader was Emma or a resurrected Neal or maybe Henry's wife, seeing as she is completely absent? The possibilities are fascinating.

That's all that I have to say. I await your response. While interesting, these have about a 0.01% chance of actually happening. Gravity Falls is too niche, like any Disney tv cartoon would be, and Star Wars is almost certainly a no go, as said by Adam and Eddy. Perhaps Gravity Falls might be a bit niche, but it sparked in popularity immensely and continues to grow. Also, they have made numerous niche franchises and fairytales appear in the series (Beowulf, Count of Monte Cristo, Fantasia (although it was very popular, it isn't anymore)). Your comparing classic literature, and a classic Disney movie, to a children's tv show. Those are very different things. In all honesty, the writers probably don't even know about the show, or at least know enough about it to put it on the show. You clearly haven't seen the show either. If you have ever seen any episode of the show, excluding the two bad ones, you would know that there are many, MANY non-kid friendly things in the show. Such as: Pornography jokes, mutilation of human heads, threats involving mutilating two children, other grotesque sights and, you know, references to the Illuminati. Furthermore, the show is extremely popular, It is likely the most popular Disney television show to ever exist. So, just remember, saying that Gravity Falls is unpopular and childish is like saying that Spongebob has the same level of maturity as something like The Good Wife or Interstellar, or something else.

Also, we've moved on from the conversation. It is unwise to continue debating about this. I never said the show is unpopular or childish, simply that it is a children's tv show (which it is, it airs on a channel dedicated to programming for children). Also, please don't mini-mod. If the mods think there is an issue, they will let us know.
