Trollhunters Rise Of The Titans - Tumblr Posts
I read ORV (the webnovel) in November of 2020. The Trollhunters movie came out in July of 2021.
Two canon male pregnancies back to back made me think mpreg was gonna be a trend for the 2020’s.
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.
You know? I just realized. Rise of The Titans was really good until Steve got Pregnant. Then it all slowly went down hill.
YES , that is exactly it .
Another big thing that I can't live with is that the magical amulet just chose the first person there.
Like , I thought that this thing was meant to choose the trollhunter because of his skills or his pure heart or crap like that.
Why didn't the amulet choose Jim again ? Isn't the whole trollhunter stuff based on destiny ? And isn't it JIM'S DESTINY to be trollhunter ? WTF??
I want to make myself clear, my problems with that ending are in no way, ‘‘Toby hate’, I love him and he was a full fledged hero. I wouldn’t have been happy if Jim gave the amulet to Claire either, or douxie , or blinky, or anyone else, because they all had their own part to play. They all had their individual destiny, and destiny was such a big theme, and then Jim forfeited his own, and decided who would play what role as if he can do that. They were a team, each character had their position, each one had a purpose, I’m not happy that they killed Toby, but he was not the yielder of the amulet, he was the yielder of the war hammer. You can’t swap destinies with your best friend because you think ‘maybe this way he’ll survive’, that’s not how it works and Jim knows the weight he just put on Toby’s shoulders. Just because Toby was the help Jim needed to carry it, doesn’t mean that Jim helping will be what Toby needs to carry it. He just imbalanced something bigger than he even understands, and after a while he’s gonna realize he made a mistake and have to put things back to the same moment he left, because time travel, NEVER, works out .
Make sure to remember everyone!
