Also, they said that originally the ending would be the characters graduating from school and having a happy ending for everyone, but they changed it because they thought that would be too "anti-climactic". I'm sorry, but I personally would prefer an anti-climactic ending than THIS!

[@70Lu07]

What makes the movie so confusing is that it starts with Blinkous reading a book retelling the story of the movie like a historical event, if it ends in a time travel shenanigan, then how. The. Fuck. Does he know what happened and has a book about it? Is this movie some sort of sick joke?

[@matityaloran9157]

This was not a good movie

[@Keith_Norman]

This is why we don't include timeline resets unless you're actively confident and knowledgeable to pull it off. I am hoping that it's a prank and the real movie comes out

[@janusinitiative3520]

Some fans use this for the "Wizards is the open ending for Tales of Arcadia, Rise of the Titans is just Blinky's fanfic" theory. Although it's less of a theory, and more just something some of us fans choose to believe instead of considering the movie to be canon... since, really, that would make so much sense. The opening of the film, the mpreg thing especially, the way some characters are written to not be acting like they actually would (Aja is a great example). All the unnecessary angst and deaths, the canon rewrite. If this was Blinky's fanfiction, perhaps one that's predicting what will happen when the Arcane Order actually returns, it would all make sense.

[@tamzinmolloy5829]

3:56 Yes! Douxie was sidelined so hard for no reason in this film when hes technically the strongest character of the group and they just do nothing with him! Hes still one of my favourite characters ever to this day and they did him so dirty i will never forgive them for this!

[@bred269]

big fan of Trollhunters and i can absolutely agree FOR THE LOVE OF GUNMARS ANCIENT ROTTEN TEETH WHO THOUGHT THE ENDING WAS A GOOD IDEA?

[@magnetoonproductions9541]

Series finales are always important, especially when it comes to serialized shows. You can’t please everyone, but you have to think really long and hard about how your show is going to end. This is how everyone is going to remember you and the last time they’ll ever see your characters. The Trollhunters movie is a textbook example of why you have to take finales and your writing seriously, especially since it could very well ruin the reputation of your show and people’s perception of how much you really care about your work.

[@MrRobot-0]

By my experience each part of a story have specific pitfalls where you can fuck it up. If you get everything right the finale should be easy to nail. Trollhunters did not did everything right, the series was too in love with it's edgyness and compromise solutions. So in the end they just dailed it to 11 and we got that movie.

[@Keith_Norman]

On finales retroactively ruining the show, I think for me Star Vs was also a big one. Basically the protagonist winds up doing the thing one of the Main Villains was killed off for *trying* to do. Also Jim rewinding time and undoing everything is what Nox, the main villain in the first season of Wakfu wanted to do (and he have pretty good reasons for it). It feels very tonally inept for a protagonist to have that kind of drive and that being portrayed as a good thing.

[@ShadowWolfRising]

To be fair if all went to plan, all the bad shit Nox did to do so would have been undone. Nox's plan was almost flawless...............he just vastly underestimated how much energy the spell would take.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

For me, it was the Ducktales Reboot. I really think Webby being a clone of Scrooge really doesn’t work, and the fact Gargoyles gets a cameo and not an episode dedicated to it just like with the Darkwing Duck Episodes really hurted the finale for me.

[@YangTheAce]

Trollhunters was for the longest time one of my favourite TV shows of all time (it's up there with Avatar The Last Airbender and Arcane for me) I've only watched ROTT once but the ending was such a middle finger to fans and left such a bad taste in my mouth, that I stopped watching the TOA series for years and only just recently started rewatching it again and renewed my love for the series Also to this day I have ZERO idea what the hell the writers were smoking to come up with mpreg Steve, like it is genuinely one of the most uncomfortable things I've seen in a film

[@debi_shay9072]

Can I also say!! The fact that suddenly, just bc Toby got to the amulet before Jim, it’s suddenly saying Toby’s name, that makes it feel like the amulet *isnt* picking destined people who it thinks will succeed in saving the world, but just deciding its first come first serve- Like, at least in the episode it made sense, Jim didn’t answer the call so it chose someone new and in doing such chose the brave, although hardheaded and arrogant, son of the previous holder. Someone who clearly had the potential. FOR THIS IT LEGIT HAS NO REASON!!

[@lasercraft32]

The worst part in my opinion is the fact that throughout the ENTIRETY of the Trollhunter's series, they make a huge deal about how "the amulet chose you" and that Jim NEEDED to be the Trollhunter... But then I guess ANY human would suffice. Jim just shirks off the responsibility and forces Toby to go through the crap he did instead. Even though HE STILL REMEMBERED EVERYTHING! He could have done a New Game+ speedrun and stopped literally everything before it ever happened. But instead of doing the _smart_ thing, he decided to let Toby become the Trollhunter. My personal headcanon is that Toby finds the amulet, and just gives it to Jim and he becomes the Trollhunter again anyway. Its the only thing that gives me peace of mind.

I don't know why they decided in that ending, but I kinda see a connection why it led to that. When Jim let Toby be the Trollhunter, Jim was saying the quote "Destiny is a Gift" and when Toby died he said "It’s okay, Jimbo. I didn’t think. I became." I think the writers wanted Toby to be next Trollhunter even with the quote saying "Don't think. Become." away for him to be like Jim of how Jim started out as the Trollhunter.

[@NotTheLastSoL]

When I watched this movie, I tried to stay positive throughout. I like to like things, and for most of the film, I was able to see past its flaws and enjoy myself. Even when Jim decided to pull a time travel fix-it I thought, "He's doing this for the greater good. He's willingly going through all the pain, training, and hardship. He's going to experience sacrificing his humanity again. All to make a better timeline." Then he gave the amulet to Toby, and all that meant nothing. All I could think now was, "Wow, remember when Jim almost died to a jealous troll and only survived because of his slim build and quick thinking like a day into his training as the Trollhunter. No? Well you certainly will after Toby gets his head ripped off and you have to steal the amulet, then go through the entire timeline without him, struggling desparately to keep things on track from a much worse starting point! All so you can go back again and not give away the amulet like an idiot this time!" So yeah, dumbest time travel mistake of all time. TL;DR: Toby dies instantly as the Trollhunder so giving him the abulet makes the time travel about as useful as the -12 dollar bill. PS: Would love to see a vid on the worst character ever!

Like, I watched this gobshite show three times just to make sure…NOTHING ABOUT THE TIME STONE IS MENTIONED!! Like, the writers just thought Writer 1: “Oh we need a good ending for the movie that totally makes sense.” Writer 2: “TIME TRAVEL!!” Writer 3: “BRILLIANT!!” FUCK THIS MOVIE. ITS NOT CANON. LETS NEVER MENTION IT AGAIN.

If Jim absolutely had to go back in time, why just go back to the goddamn train heist?

I refuse to believe that this film was made by Guillermo Del Toro, as aside from the property belonging to him, this film has no semblence of his usual writing style. If anything, he had to have been a similar situation to "Brightburn," where the most popular name within the advertising was only in a producer role and had little to no involvement in the writing. On an unrealted note, I'm now currently curious to hear about this "character worse than June from 'The Nine Realms'."

There was an entire episode in season 2 (I think it was season 2) of trollhunters that made a point of proving why Jim was chosen and that things were all meant to go that way, wtf why that just do a 180 and be like yea it's fine let someone else do it

[@popculturenerdyt7572]

Troll hunters seasons 1-3 (especially 3 holy shit) were masterful in my opinion and probably the franchises best. The world building, the character designs and characters in general were all great and the atmosphere of the final episode with the eclipse is still unmatched.

[@skylord1846]

And this is why I consider the season 3 finale “eternal Knight part 2” from Trollhunters to be the true series finale.

[@simonSeysz]

I remember watching all three shows and loving them honestlt my childhood but i barely remember this movie i honestly think i just never finished it 💀

[@revolverspin512]

I was never the biggest troll hunter fan but i cared enough to watch wizards and 3below. I thought I wasn’t really gonna care if this movie sucked but somehow they found a way to make me mad about the movie i didn’t care was gonna be bad

[@jakemaelstrom1404]

You've successfully reeled me in with my curiosity of who's actually worse than June. Hope to see a video on that soon 💙

[@leonidapabon5081]

I've tried to avoid everything about this movie but I guess times up Edit: I've seen the full video now oh god it's worse than I could have imagined that ending completely shits on the phenomenal performance jims actor gives in the end of the what if episode

[@d_fnanda]

There is no Trollhunters Movie in Ba Sing Se

[@darkskull9166]

If they wanted to go the weird time travel ending, why the hell did they think having him go back that far was a smart idea?! And change everything?! What's worse is that I think they just did this again with Umbrella Academy! There's no way Guillermo Del Toro would've approved any of this!!!

This is one of the examples of how quickly and undisputed people can come together and pretend a piece of media doesn't exist.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

My biggest problem with the Penguins Of Madagascar Movie is that it should’ve been like the show of the same. As in it should’ve followed the show’s continuity & whatever. My biggest problem with Spirit Untamed is that it should’ve continued where the show it’s based on (Spirit Riding Free) left off, instead of adapting the first couple episodes of it. The Trollhunters movie should’ve been like a movie. But instead, it’s just an hour long episode of the Tales of Arcadia Trilogy.

[@ChelCM03]

I’m obsessed with how I recently finished my rewatch of the entire franchise and the fandom is STILL talking about the shitty ending

[@CaptainphoenixofficialYT]

It really does suck. Most of this movie was decent then it was as if the writers got high on some crazy stuff and swapped an April Fools ending with the real ending we should have gotten as a joke but forgot to switch it back before the film's release.

[@bearberserker]

Okay, I'll shoot who is worse than Jun from Dragons Nine Realms. Also, I felt mixed about how the movie The Tales of Arcadia ended. I always felt like there was some alternate timeline, especially how it opened with Blink telling the story from a book to an unseen audience, but I could just be hopeful. 😅 It also would have been interesting for Skrael to be Akiridion making a connection with the House of Tarron, like him being an ancestor who learned about magic and then taught his people magic on his home planet, which then led them to develop advanced technology which would explain Akiridion tech being so compatible with it.

[@jacobmadar4604]

all they need to do to save this is give another season where we see jim using his time powers to help try and save the world and failing every time just delaying it and making it worse until near the end toby finds out what is supposed to happen where he dies and tells jim that it must happen and that its the only way to save everyone where jim undo every thing he dose and we are back to where toby dies and every one morning for the people that lost their lives and that this is what bring everyone together to honor those that passed that is one of the way mabey the only way to save this ending due to how stupid it was just get one more season and explore why every thing is the way it needs to be

[@jakubtrapp3509]

excuse me SOMEONE WORSE THAN JUN? ok shut up and take my money do it now

[@stu_1e]

I think Toby should have stayed dead, because his was the most heroic, impactful death. Especially after he went through the movie feeling like he didn't really contribute much to the team. The Steve pregnancy was an abomination that should never have seen the light of day. As much as I didn't really care for Steve either, I had to admit he had a character arc going from season 1 of Trollhunters to the end of Wizards, and I legit wanted to see him standing shoulder to shoulder with all the others as a modern day knight of Camelot in magical/Acharidian armour. Instead we got this weird pointless pregnancy plot point which, as a med student back when I watched it, made even less sense to me because of how much it doesn't work physiologically. I didn't get the joke, it was gross, and all it did was sideline Steve. I was kinda hoping we'd get to see a master/apprentice thing between Douxie and Claire, culminating in Claire getting her own staff, tied in with the forging of the new amulet, for which (to quote Merlin), "two master wizards are required." For the number of stories and protagonists we were tying together with this one, I really wish it wasn't just about the one guy whose story we already told over 3 seasons and who before RotT was already fully actualized as a leader and a hero. I get that a lot of it was probably budget constraints and possible studio interference, and there are a lot of moving parts to this, but I have a hard time imagining that something this messy was Guillermo Del Toro's vision for the conclusion of the Tales of Arcadia.
