Good Rant. Respect

Good rant. Respect🫶

Kinda a rant, not really? Just my opinion.

Spoilers. Read with caution ⚠️

I've heard some people say they feel as if Poppy and Branch shouldn't be getting married as it's too early. In most situations, I would agree. Considering me and my husband were together 8 years before getting married-- however, a large factor in that was high school sweethearts, and we started dating when I was 15.

I believe that Poppy and Branch have ALWAYS harbored feelings for each other - even before the events of the first movie. I've read plenty of fanfictions, and many represent Poppy constantly trying to include branch - which can be confirmed with all the invitations he has from her and kept.

Branch wants more than ANYTHING to go back out with the trolls. However, he feels a sense of responsibility to keep everyone safe without getting too close. I mean, from the first movie, we know he lost his grandma in a traumatic way, and now, with the third movie we learn, he was abandoned by his brothers. Everyone he's ever loved has left or died- which is a very valid and real reason to avoid any type of connection.

When Chef found the trolls in the first movie, Branch represented himself as not caring when, in fact, he cared so much. I think if Poppy hadn't put the whole tribe in the bunker, he eventually would have as well. If you've read or have the art book from the first movie, you know he followed poppy pretty shortly after she left to ensure her safety as well. Especially since the entire village was safe.

My point being, they have always had a connection to one another , and neither understood until spending more time together.

The first movie they had a huge adventure that was essentially life and death - henceforth growing closer to one another. Branch found he could be happy, and he helped pick up Poppy when she lost hope.

The second movie, they had another huge adventure that really explored their differences- while not being bad - but made them realize they don't need to be similar to connect in a loving way. Branch is reserved, cautious, and super caring. Poppy is extremely extroverted, ignorant in some situations, but kind and loving.

The third movie will explore things that they are learning about each other. Branch being a part of a boyband, Poppy having a sister. I'm sure we will also see Poppy comforting Branch and being there for him. "I have been by your side since the moment we met, and you've been by mine."

Considering how much they have gone through with each other and have grown not only as individuals but together makes me think it's absolutely not too soon, and I think they should certainly tie the knot.

On another note, Branch will be a great king.

Other insights are certainly welcome.

OMG YES I LOVE THIS SHIP PLEASE
