Trollhunters Rott - Tumblr Posts

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.

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 )

EXACTLY like I mean the movie wasn't really bad it was super cool and the animation was amazing but like the ending isn't that bad it's kind of cool if you think about it cause now the entire Fandom will be busy making fanfiction and fanart

And besides now this time Jim will know what's happening he will know who the traitors are and who are his friends so all the mistakes made before won't happen again

And since Toby has the amulet and is the trollhunter Jim would be helping him and guiding him while making sure everything goes smoothly from behind the scene

And I think the amulet was SUPPOSED to find Jim cause like he said what's meant to be will be, maybe the whole time traveling thing was supposed to happen and that's why the amulet (and merlin) chose Jim cause it knew no one would succeed the first time (cause we all saw what happened in the Unbecoming episode even in that Jim was given a second chance) but it needed a hero who would be smart enough to figure all this out and have the courage to do it.

well that was a heck of a whole lot to process

i do not know how i feel about this

Will there be anything after the Rise of the titans movie? Cause I know the creators said that the movie was like the last thing to end the whole trilogy but I am hearing rumors of spinoff shows.

Also when Jim went back in time did he reset his timeline or create a new one, cause some are saying he created a new timeline and that the one he left is still continuing just without him.

This would mean that in the original timeline Jim is gone, eli Jr. exists and that stickler, Toby and Nomura are dead along with nari.

Ugh I kind don't want it to continue cause I like the movie's ending since it allows for the fans to write what happens next, but at the same time I do wanna see what will actually happen and also it would be really funny seeing toby train with draal. Ugh this is too unnecessarily complicated 😑.
