Rise Of The Titans - Tumblr Posts
Unkar, The Unfortunate, seeing ROTT end.
My favorite western cartoons that I would die for:
Danny phantom, troll hunters and Randy Cunningham the ninth grade ninja
If anyone shits on these shows I have a mental breakdown like I was attact but u may shit on:
Phantom Planet, rise of the titan's, the ridicules slang rctngn uses
Mpreg is traumatic for me, not because of the concept itself, but because it reminds me of my experience watching Rise of the Titans.
So I plan on re-writing the Rise of the Titans movie altogether and having a prequel later on. I don’t know how long it will be or take(giving how many chapters I want to put in). But for now I want to showcase Jim since he is our starring boy!
It kinda felt weird to me how Jim turned back into a human near the end of Wizards for some reason, and how Merlin said there was no way to turn him back. So I just redesigned his troll fit and added a few details from his ACTUAL troll form(such as his horns and tattooed lines). I also gave him longer hair and scruff since we never really see it(plus Its been like what a couple of years? man does NOT care about hair length). And where the amulet was? now a cool scar.
For character analyse I just wanted to use flat colors in case I wanted to do flashbacks or short comics/doodles. Over on the right I wanted to line out how differently each for was like body build and facial structures.
And finally armor. Everything is overall the same except for the moonlight armor(which can be read in Angor Reborn) and the RoTT armor. I hated how it looked in the movie with the added Excalibur and Akaridian tech(sorry Krel love ya<3) and it just didn’t look right. So I took inspiration from King Arthurs armor and added a little bit of how his troll form looks(like horns and spikes. I also wanted him to have a cape since he deserves it<3
Back again for the RoTT Aftermath and AU this time with Claire!
So I didn’t really change much of her except for some small details. But I of course wanted to make her older since it does take place around 6-9 years later(still deciding).
Her armor is overall the same but I wanted to make a new one since y’know she could have outgrown hers? Anyway-I took inspiration from Morgana like I did Jim with King Arthur. She deserves a cape and crown tbh<3
And finally character reference. I wanted to darken her town down throughout the shows since shes always outside, but I did make her a little bit pale due to the shadow magic. AND A NEW FIT???? HELL YES!! She needs it and I didn’t want it to be the same old one from high school(but the coat was an inspiration from her old one. I also liked the idea that when she teleported Nari’s titan her hair became full on white which was so cool! so theres that :]
Back at it again!! This time with Toby! There isn’t too much information on him but I do wanna go onto his character designs throughout the series
First off is outfits! I wanted to keep a bit of the same design for Trollhunters, and since he lives with his Nana I wanted the clothes to be like button ups, jackets, vests,ect. By the time 3Below happens I’d like to say he’s old enough for a job(heck maybe even a car) so he can buy clothes that fit more to his style, such as hard rock.
Armor is overall the same. I did shake it up a bit for the future design but its overall the same. Next up is the Arcane Order!!
Arcane Order!!!
(they’re on a hike and can’t read the map right :/) ANywhoo! Lets get started:
First up is Bellroc. I didn’t change too much about them except for some skin and clothing details. Also the “de-clothed’ part is more-or-more what they lounge/sleep/whatever in so thats a heads up. They aren’t too keen on fashion and how certain clothes work so you’ll pretty much find them wearing over 6 layers of clothing and mix matched socks and shoes..
Next is my favorite ice cube Skrael! I changed up their outfit a bit such as the strings and coat(because they did him dirty with the most bland outfit of the three smh). Most inspiration was taken from the concept art. For his disguise I took the same excuse with Bellroc, but he wound wear a dress since it kinda correlates with his robe(also hear glasses cuz why not?).
And finally Nari. I added more of a creature/animal style too her because I felt that the horns kinda weren’t enough? But I made her fit more neater than her older siblings since she’s been hanging around Douxie and he shows her some drifts of modern fashion. I liked the horns but they didn’t fit my design of her in a way, so I redid it!
(bonus drawing)
gotta hate fathers who created you then left you for more than 3 billion years smh😒
I just love tumblr because without you guys I wouldn't even have a clue about the new rott trailer but at the same time I hate you for instantly deciding that Blinky is going to die ( you are probably right but it still hurts )
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS MOVIE I AM SO ANGRY I HATE IT WITH EVERY INCH OF MY BEING
THANK YOU
✨ you’re welcome ✨
ROTT really said " you know these three series that you love and cherish? Your favourite characters , their stories and everything you've been though with them ? WELL IT WAS ALL WORTHLESS SHIT AND NOW EVERYTHING'S ERASED YOU'RE WELCOME"
You’re telling me that James Lake Jr, got handed the chance to time travel, to undo the death of his best friend, his moms fiancé, and the two other friends he lost in saving the world, but instead he went so far back that he never made friends with most of these people, didn’t know if he would still have the chance to win over the love of his life, and threw out his destiny and responsibility that he proved himself time and time again to be the only one who could take on the amulet and the role of leader, and handed all of that trouble and responsibility and danger and ‘weight of world on shoulders’ over to his best friend, who just died for him, and who is the clumsiest person in the world, who was a hero with completely different strength and would not survive two days with the amulet, because it was not his destiny in the first place, is that what you’re trying to tell me?
Well, that was load of garbage put in fancy packaging and ribbon
some ramblings about the mess that was Rise of the Titans....
first of all. those character deaths were not only unnecessary but they were BRUTAL and far more intense and painful to watch than they needed to be. as a movie that largely targeted for kids and family and is only rated G, did I need to see Nomura shattered into a thousand pieces, Strickler get blown up, Nari turning to ice like that, and Toby literally getting crushed and dying IN FRONT OF JIM?!?! im not saying there couldn't have been emotional moments but the brutality of those scenes just went way too far. not to mention that there ended up being no point to this anyway bc now they're not actually dead?? either way it was awful to watch
second. If they wanted Toby to become the Trollhunter, why not just have the new amulet choose him?? That would have been such a good twist. instead of going to jim, the new amulet flies to toby who saves Jim from Bellroc. It's a great twist, it'd be great for Toby, gives the inspiring message that anyone can be a trollhunter, and it's a good conclusion to Jim's arc as he no longer has to be the trollhunter after going through so much.
which leads me to three. AFTER GOING BACK IN TIME WHY WOULD HE GIVE UP THE AMULET AND HAVE TOBY BE THE TROLLHUNTER???? we spent three seasons explaining that Jim was CHOSEN for a reason. he had to be the trollhunter. now how are they going to defeat Gunmar, Morgana, etc.
which of course is four. going back in time like that was stupid. it erased every single thing we've watched. essentially the series ended with "it was all a dream." seriously, remove the part about toby finding the amulet and that's exactly how it ended. every single relationship? gone. every character arc and journey? erased. no closure was given to anyone. we didn't get to see where they ended up at the end of the series. there WAS no end. claire lost all her sorceress powers, douxie lost all his beautiful development in wizards, aja and krel??? we dont even know what's gonna happen with them now. they even half assed strickler and barbara by just having jim set them up. sorry how is that gonna work out if we don't see strickler's whole arc of changing to be one of the good guys?? would he even do that now if jim wasnt the trollhunter??? ARGH I HATE THIS ENDING ITS SO STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!
and finally. the movie was just so anticlimatic. after the first battle scene, so many characters were underpowered. Douxie literally fought the Arcane Order in Wizards and now suddenly he's being thrown around like a ragdoll. Claire is suddenly just like "sorry ive exhausted my powers" at like 5 different points in the movie. she never even got to have an insanely badass scene like she deserved. what was the point of even bringing up jim's dad? we know he's irrelevant, who cares?? archie and douxie separated after being together for centuries and just being like "oh well, hope he's happy" like ????????????? what the HELL was the aja/steve shit??? that was just stupid and uncomfortable and took up screen time that couldve been used for real development and plot.
in short, this movie was terrible. I've loved this series so much and I used to consider it flawless. the characters are amazing and the story was so good. i'll always love the tv shows so much but i genuinely hope to forget this movie even exists. I'm just so disappointed by what should've been an epic conclusion to this wonderful series.
Okay I didn't like A LOT of things in this movie BUT I believe it could have been saved if Jim just traveled back to the beginning of the movie itself.
It could have ended with him saying " okay, let's do it again" or some shit like that I don't care.
As a person who HATES open endings I still would have been willing to accept it over that hideous last minutes we had to witness.
You know? I just realized. Rise of The Titans was really good until Steve got Pregnant. Then it all slowly went down hill.
Aw , this reminds me of the good old "before ROTT" days when I thought that Blinky's death would have ruined the movie for me. Little did I know that the movie would keep Blinky alive and still manage to be the absolute worst piece of garbage I'd ever see in my life
I just love tumblr because without you guys I wouldn't even have a clue about the new rott trailer but at the same time I hate you for instantly deciding that Blinky is going to die ( you are probably right but it still hurts )
Nari: When I touch someone I can feel their feelings. *touches Douxie’s hand*
Nari: You feel… love!
Douxie: Yeah, I guess - Yeah, I feel a general unselfish love for everyone.
Nari: No. Romantic, sexual love…
Douxie: No. No, I don’t. *shakes head*
Nari: *points at Krel* …for him!
Krel: *has surprised and blushing look on face*
Douxie: No! *shakes head frantically*
Toby: *begins laughing hysterically* She just told everyone you deepest, darkest secret! *continues laughing*
Douxie: Dude! Come on! I think you’re overreacting a little bit!
Toby: You must be so embarrassed! *continues cracking up*
Toby: Do me! Do me! Do me!
i don't think anyone that has ever wronged me in my life did a worse offense than Tales of Arcadia's Rise of the Titans movie ending
