This kind of ending makes everything feel void. They should’ve had Jim go back to the beginning of the movie and had him fix mistakes from there, not the beginning of the entire journey. All the mistakes he and his friends made and the things they had to endure is what forged their bond, and by removing that, he’s most likely making things worse. Strickler for example probably won’t be his enemy now because he loves his mom, and Claire and Jim won’t have the same relationship because he’s not the trollhunter. This ending was honestly one of the worst decisions they could’ve made for the end. Unless they fix something in the future, this ending has honestly ruined trollhunters. (Edit): First off, I’d like to say thank you for all the likes on this comment, I wasn’t expecting it. Secondly, I’d like to say thank you for the interesting theories and civilized discussion in the replies, it’s a nice to see people who have opposing views yet aren’t acting like animals towards each other.

I enjoyed the troll hunter movie but felt like the ending shattered the first series of the three because if Jim gone back to start over with slight time altercations for a different outcome that could lead for Jim having a happy life with his friends and his mom and his father figure like he could’ve saved graal and unlock the full power of the amulet and awaken Merlin earlier and befriended Aja and krell right after they appeared at school which means eventually they’ve all could’ve been together for the time nari changed her ways and able to protect her better than they did in wizards and the movie

I cried sm when Nomura, Walter, Nari and when Toby died and at the end they reseted the time to the very first beginning 😭

The ending was disappointing for me. They should have just honor the sacrifices of the characters who died in the end, not undo them by restarting the timeline. They literally just threw out the all character development spent on the other characters in the entire Arcadia series. Plus there's no Señor Uhl and NotEnrique so it's a little meh.

Im rlly dissapointed when toby got the amulet..

The ending literally made no sense, and it's infuriating. So because he wanted to SAVE Toby's life - He's literally put him in permanent danger by making him the Trollhunter? And who says there won't be even MORE people that die this time around, with Toby in that position? Jim already struggled a ton, and now he's just put that burden on Toby. It's so out of character for him, it really ruins the story. This would only have -kind of?- made sense if they had shown Jim to still have his amulet as well. I honestly don't know how to feel about this ending, it feels like it just can't be the end of such a great saga.

Very disappointing ending for such an amazing and thrilling story

I would have rather Tobi get a statue in the center of Arcadia as a hero than all this time traveling stuff

Everything on what happened on Trollhunters, 3below, and Wizards was WASTED BECAUSE OF THE ENDING! 😭

Steve and Aja suddenly having kids was horrifying.

That ending was idiotic. Jim was chosen by the amulet it wasn't "any hooman" it was "Jim Lake Jr." wtf is this shit I will pretend the movie doesnt exist. Also I don't think Toby being the trollhunter will make things better bc how(?) and with all that Jim went through I think it's selfish to throw that on someone else and stay on the sidelines. It's like Harry going back in time and setting up Neville to be the chosen one because Dobby died. Like c'mon

Guillermo del Toro says Jim “knows I am the Trollhunter, with or without the amulet” and that if the amulet is meant to return to him, it will. This was said in a Q&A in LA. .....ok? This movie doesn't make sense.

The ending is the definition of...“Suddenly, they woke and realised it was all a dream!”

Jim: Ok Toby your turn to get traumatized I hate the ending it was so disappointing like all that they went through and I feel like Toby would not make a good trollhunter and for like all of the seasons in Trollhunter Tales of Arcadia they wouldn’t shut up about it was Jim’s destiny not tobys or draals or anybody to be the trollhunter and they go back in time and give Toby the amulet so stupid

I have a feeling that everything will repeat, Toby resets to the beginning and Jim gets to be the trollhunter again. Jim not knowing he was a troll hunter before, which might be why Toby didn't want to go through the canal to get to school in season 1.

I think they should have learned with the Flash series that time traveling to make everything perfect again doesn’t work...

I'm very disappointed in the end especially the fact that Jim is no longer a troll hunter it's like everything he did was thrown in the trash and iI hope there will be a season 2 of Wizards

Jim was literally depressed on how if he didn't have the amulet he was a nobody, meanwhile he goes back in time just to give toby the amulet instead, i am disappointed in this movie.

The movie was pretty good but the ending honestly ruined it for me. It kinda made the entire series pointless, would've preferred them to not even use the time stone. It also would've made Jim feel much more mature if he decided to not go back in time and accept what's happened.

I honestly don’t feel like this movie was a good move, especially not the ending. Everything felt a little shoddy, from the character development to the rushed plot lines. It movie laid down so much to rest and that’s the beauty of a good movie. You don’t just take away all of the loss, the mistakes, the faults that make a show and it’s characters unique. The ending was an example of that! If he had to go back, at least he should’ve gone back to the beginning of the movie. The entire thing just feels like a soggy bandaid of a sandy knee. Things are all just glossed over. The things that makes Trollhunters, well, *Trollhunters* is just smothered into the ground. It was an alright movie, but it just feels so unsatisfying. Like a particularly bad fanfic trope.

If 3-7 babies are born from akaridians where is the other/s royal heirs?

I wouldn’t say that it was much “glorious” at its end 😒😑. I know about time travel to an extent that what Jim did pretty much complicated the whole timeline especially for the 3below series esssh 😬

Steve getting pregnant is the only thing that was entertaining in this movie. But that’s only my opinion 😀 I also didn’t like how the movie felt like it was being rushed. I know they had a time limit, but I think it would have been %100 better if it was just another show or season. Even if it just had one season. I also felt like Jim wasn’t really being himself, especially for letting Toby finding the amulet. I just feel like it could be improved in many ways..

To prove his love for his bestfriend, who died saving him. As a gift he made him troll hunter which puts his life in danger 24/7. Good job bro!

So you’re telling me they chose to waste 5 YEARS of hard work and animation on a stupid ending that honestly made no sense? Yeah, bad move.

It was really good. Until the ending. The ending just cheapened and erased all that suffering, endurance, character development... If he'd gone to the beginning of the *movie,* it might've been alright, but this? This ruined the entire story.

I really enjoyed the movie. My only issues were 1. I didn't like the ending. I wish they would've just kept going in the timeline that they already had or at the very least, show the outcome of the new timeline. 2. I kind of wish they showcased steve and eli a little more in their new forms, steve being the "knight of arcadia/camelot" or the heir and eli being the "akiridian ambassador of earth". I feel like they were characters who evolved throughout the entire saga and they were kind of unfairly sidelined in the movie. Other than those 2 things, I think the movie was a perfect ending to a great saga.

This movie was basically a mix of Infinite War combined with Godzilla: King of Monsters COMBINED with the ending of The Adventures of Puss in Boots

The ending kinda ruined this film for me I really hope they can redo the ending (I know they won't as it would probably be a lot of money for a couple minutes of animation) but I hate reset endings they make the whole show(s) feel pointless. This was a problem I had with the Adventures of Puss in Boots why does DreamWorks like making their shows end by making the adventures never happening it's cheap, lazy and unsatisfying and makes me not want to watch again. All that character development is now gone along with all the good and bad things that happened. I would just love to see an alternate ending to the film where Jim doesn't reset the timeline and they all honor the sacrifices their friends made to save the world cause either way it's a bittersweet ending but at least with Jim not resetting the timeline everyone gets to go on with their lives. It also takes away all the sacrifices and deaths as everyone alive again. If they wanted to do time travel at least make them go back to the beginning of the film and not the first episode of Trollhunters. Though I suppose it's a better ending than having it be all be a dream which while these endings are similar and are some of the worst copout ending dream endings tend to not have the protagonist wake up before the adventure is over or they lost to the villain and wake up from a nightmare. These are the worst endings and most people hate them so I really don't know why writers to use these endings at least in Endgame while not a perfect finale as it brought time travel into the franchise at least that film didn't use it to reset the entire series or to stop something from happening. Anyway if I could draw a comic I would make my own personal epilogue that ignores the last few minutes the film cause it really makes me uninterested to return to this franchise.

We’ve all fell in love due to Jim’s mistakes and progress Resetting all was the worst thing they’ve done

Not gonna lie, I follow this with my kids and I was left extremely disappointed in the ending

The ending is TERRIBLE. Loads of episodes, stories and more have just been yeeted out of the window. But there could be a trollhunters multiverse where jim, clair and toby, maybe even draal can fight one big enemy. Maybe even Morgana if she leaves the shadow realm!

I seriously cried when Nomura, Strickler, Nari & Toby died🥲😢

This movie never happened to me. Why are writers suddenly obsessed over writing an unexpected ending over a good one? =_=

The most underrated Netflix franchise

In the new timeline Toby will die in the hand of Drall and Jim get the amulet back...The End

lemme rewrite the ending for all of us who hate it (so pretty much everyone): Jim, remembering his first attempt to go back to the very beginning of trollhunters, goes back to when they are planning the train scene. they decide to not do it on a moving vehicle that has the ability to become an out of control factor. ALSO knowing how to pull Arthur's sword they grab that so he can actually be useful. they get everyone on board they can (Nomura, strickler, Charle, calling Aja back so she's there sooner. he stops her and Steve from kissing so Steve and Eli can help. Eli gets to show off his new fighting abilities that I think he'd gain hanging out with Aja and Vex) they set the magic cancelling thing up out of sight but also prepare more in case of emergency and put the weakest links (Eli, Krel, and toby) behind the magic canceller and finish the fight where it all began - trollmarket. the movie ends with Barbra and strickler getting married in a twilight ceremony overlooking Arcadia. the final hero speech is Jim's best man speech and is about love, loss and friendship. THE END

I think the ending was implying that Toby always wanted to be a hero that he was even willing to give his own life to be one. He basically has nothing, just his nana and girlfriend, he lived his whole life giving everything he did have which was love to his friends which made him one of the greatest heros of all. In the new timeline it was his turn to be everything he always wanted to be.

I watched the whole movie and so much sacrifices

Disappointing Ending. It feels like we wasted the last few years watching a series that never happened. All the character development and progression was thrown out the window. At the beginning when Jim first acquires the amulet, dangerous events were already in motion and he barely succeeded, I'm not sure it is a 'happy ending' to put Toby in that situation. The time stone could have been built upon and let Jim save all those who perished by time travelling or something else.

I loved the series, but I don't like the ending. The idea of making Toby a trollhunter is just nonsense. They could just make Jim decided to go back in time and change some small things to avoid those beloved ones die and it would be all done. The Amulet supposed to be a magic thing that won't make wrong decision and why it supposed to choose Toby when it chose Jim since the first place? That's like making the old serie a none existing

I really liked the movie but I didn’t know Toby would become the trollhunter, I thought Jim was just going back to the start of the movie, so I didn’t really like the ending. Other then the ending I liked pretty much everything else

I cried when Nari died because I loved her's and Douxie's relationship :( and I do feel that the ending undermined all the development of the tv shows. If they were to still do the time traveling ending, then they should have shown the results of the changed timeline rather than the beginning of a new one. Like immediately after Jim time traveling back they fast forward to the present day, having defeated the Titans without the casualties, and shown Strickler and Barbara's marriage, Nari and Douxie together, Steve and Aja with their children, and all the other loose ends left. These are just my thoughts

Feels kinda lame that he reset the timeline just because Toby died lol

God, even though Jim will still get second chance with Clair, but still what they went through, which makes them closer, it will always be irreplaceable.

you guys need to change the ending the trollhunter role doesnt fit toby

Honestly I love the ending since at the end of the day Jim remembers everything from the Tales of Arcadia series. Restarting time and giving weight to change where an even more unlikely hero gets a chance, and that hero being Toby honestly makes it more humbling. Pretty sure Jim weighed much of what was lost down from the start and considered the beginning the best place to restart. So he decided he’d give his greatest loss at the time his very best chance. Along with making hopeful futures available as well. He learned he’d rather a redo be given to someone who he considers more than worthy in all aspects and would definitely make the better choices the first time around while also learning how to believe in himself more. Besides to go back in time and just redo mistakes he originally made as the Trollhunter with knowledge he already has wouldn’t make for growth. He gave his best friend his best chance while hoping better for those he loves and a chance for a different path then hero. Besides he knows he wouldn’t be left out of the fight since he didn’t leave Toby out of it even if only the side man.

The ending was questionable for me

I wished they made it so Tobey faked his death like how Jim did at the end of Trollhunters

Man the ending is sad it’s starting to remind me of avengers endgame.

Me Before: “As long as my man Toby doesn’t die.” Me After: *”I can’t believe you’ve done this…”*

That was incredible. The pregnancy was funny, Jim’s growth, and the next story of Toby being the Trollhunters is just wow. All I am hoping for is Jim and Claire to be together now 😊. Thank you for this show

This was an amazing movie the only thing I don't like is the ending (side note: I also did not like when puss in botts and Ninjago did the same thing)

nari shouldn’t of died 😭😭

"only the trollhunter will know" is exactly points at Jim shouldering the WHOLE ordeal again... Alone. That's The Dark Knight vibe there guys. Jim will become the silent protector, as Tobes' wingman, while guiding Tobes to be a better Trollhunter than he was! And if it fails again, Jim will probably willing to be the one in the van shooting that de-magicfy laser thing and die instead of Tobes.

I love how he fixes reality with a infinity stone

Everything until the time travel part was epic!! from the visuals to the fights and the soundtrack!!

The writers can do so much more in this series! Please don't end this.

Yeah the ending most likely ruined the bullies whole redemption arc. He did that chasing Jim

I detested the ending ... if The Actual Trollhunter did not take the amulet, but his tubby friend, Toby did ... and he will NEVER make a good troll hunter. He is no longer the Troll Hunter now, ever. And, that means a lot of the people HE helped, will not be saved. So it was a stupid end.

11/10 effort. A grand and epic finale with actual stakes and sacrifices, great comedy, and emotional goodbyes. I hope we can return to Arcadia someday...

I hate this ending with a passion. Instead of Toby becoming the Trollhunter and probably making things worse, Jim could've easily just went to the beginning of the Titans and ended the Titans from ever awakening.

I just watched the movie, and I don’t really like it. All these years, the animators have been bothering us about how the amulet doesn't make mistakes, and how Jim is the perfect one. We even had a special episode in which they showed us this. And now… all these 5 years are gone. It's like nothing happened. That's not necessarily a problem. But it could go on without Toby being the next hunter. And the thing, "Hey, do you know that we saved the world, and that we were lovers for a few years? Let's take this from the beginning, even if you don't remember ^^. ” pisses me off. It's like cheating on the person who loved you the most. Edit: The message of this series gave me courage and hope, but it seems that they were able to destroy this in less than a second, as if everything was a lie. Maybe I’m to childish for this series, but I was a true fan since I was little… And the worst thing is that this was said to be the last movie. I remember everything the characters went through. All the promises they made no longer exist. It's like betraying your old friends, and lying to your new ones. I know I'm dramatizing this, but I've watched the first series at least 4 times, and I still can't believe it. I remember crying at the end of season 3 of Trollhunters, when I thought Jim was leaving, and he would never come back. All this trauma for nothing.

After watching the movie I don't know if I like it or not cause I wanted Jim to stay as the troll hunter and everything to stay the same

The movie was brilliant until the end. The end was stupid and lazy

the end… just no. BUT… The only nice thing is the way Aaron’s head cannons fix it ❤️

I love Toby and felt very sad when he died but I wish Jim stayed the troll hunter and they go through everything again and just fixes the mistakes. Also, the amulet is more like who finds it first

Imagine Toby got a series himself as the Trollhunter. Man Rise of the Titans was a roller coaster, especially the ending part!

jim could have went back in time ,enough to stop the titans not to the beginning .

Remember in Infinity war, when Wanda destroyed the mind stone and then Thanos reversed her actions with the time stone? If the Trollhunters don't want to go along with the lesson about sacrifices, why couldn't they just have done that and brought their friends back to life

I’m not ready for this franchise to end, Guillermo makes the most interesting stories, I just hope he continues to make masterpieces

If they could reverse back to the very beginning, couldn’t they have reversed back to before Toby got crushed? Jim or the others could’ve figured out a way to get Toby out of the van right after activating the machine. Idk, just thought of it. Besides, I knew Toby would die in the end since he was basically foreshadowing the death when he says “it was me and you in the beginning and it’s gonna be me and you in the end” but I still exploded with tears 😅

I didn't really like the ending, it's confusing, and kinda annoying, and by ending I mean the time ending, I was so excited for this series to come to an amazing ending but, ugh I mean I didn't like the ending, but I loved the series so much that I was not willing to end it like that, so I Rewatched it till the part where I think it strayed away, and stopped, to think of my own ending

I didn’t like the ending Tobias as the troll hunter I didn’t like

Steve’s reaction to the “7 kisses = kid” Fact was priceless, made all the better by the eagle.... The reaction to him learning he was the one that was pregnant is even better

I'm glad that almost everyone is disappointed with the ending because I do too

The whole Steve getting pregnant thing took me so off guard… *Like honestly who was expecting THAT!?*

I rhougth the movie ending was ending made sense, because of Jim's knowledge, he could prevent many bad things from happening all over again. And all of the character deaths were not meaningless, Strictlers death showed Jim that he was good for his mom, Nari's death has prevented the ice Titan and Nomura's death showed how hard the fight with Titans will be hard, most importantly it shows jim that people have to make sacrifices and Anulet or no is a hero. Just like in the ending he says that do not doubt yoursefl too much , go with your best option and become.

Jim- "Shouldering burdens is what heros do" Then he did his whole speech again at the end and contradicted it by making Tobi do his job for him.

What I didn’t like about how Toby was to become the new troll hunter is that it throws away the entire like 2 episodes where Jim had to replay the past where he didn’t become the troll hunter in season 2. It also throws away the whole character development of how he recognized and was recognized as worthy and special because of it.

Enjoyed it quite a lot! Wizards is still my favorite part of the entire franchise but the movie was a good watch :D

ngl the ending was so bad it makes no sense that jim didnt keep his upgraded amulet so he can travel back and foward through time

Jim's choice to go back in time and try to fix things is grounded in good faith, but in doing so he not only destroys what has happened to him, like his relationships, but he also destroys the relationships formed during this whole journey, which is something that could be argued on if that is his choice to make in the end.

The ending kinda makes me feel empty inside like something is missing or out of place

Im kinda sad because since Toby is the new trollhunter that means Trollhunters will be over, hope to see a new season in tales of arcadia

Honestly I wish they would have gone back in time like Idk just to when the Arcane order appeared or maybe even just to the beginning of the movie NOT to the very beginning of the whole show. Also so much for the whole "chosen one" thing bc in the end it feels like the amulet just chooses whoever gets to it first. Also on another note, although it was quite funny, the whole Steve pregnancy thing doesn't make sense to me for two main reasons : 1st if "seven kisses make baby" shouldn't she have told him earlier? Like when they started dating or at least after the 6th kiss? For someone so responsible, it seems unlikely she wouldn't have let him know. 2nd the "3 to 5" babies thing like how come both Aja and Krel were born as single babies then? Though it would nevertheless be a good reason for Krel to be so disgusted by relationships if on his planet males get pregnant after seven kisses.

Aja is now a mom I am so happy and Steve had her kids they was so cute. Little Aja’s and Steve’s lol

Frodo wouldn’t be Frodo without the Ring, Aang wouldn’t be Aang if he decided to give all his powers to Sokka and so on. Jim’s character is the Trollhunter. Toby’s character is the sidekick. That doesn’t make him any less and he knows it. He has the most important destiny and it’s to always be there in case the Young Atlas needs help. This movie is a fanfiction.

Oh man... I hated the finale so much, very MUCH, the movie was doing great until they literally did a time reset of literally all, only for a death, then what was the point of all? damn it I really hated it

Maybe tobes sacrifice made him suitable for becoming a troll hunter and so the amulet chose him

According to the ending the amulet doesn't choose....it just chants the name whoever is near it😭

I feel like they should make troll hunters 2 and we see Toby's adventure as the trollhunter

I expect a another series with a more glorious end

In my opinion it was amazing throughout the movie until the ending

We need another show or movie cuz I hate the ending so much, why did they make Toby the trollhunter?

I am sad,because of the end of ,the rise of the Titian’s wasn’t episodes,but a idea is they make a film of Tobie being the troll hunter,or they can make a film of their kids or something idk

Man why they gotta ruin everything with that ending? 🤦‍♂️ just revive the dead ones or something but with what we got basically all that we haved watched of trollhunters doesn’t matter and now won’t happen 🤬

This was great watching the whole series with my daughter

Y’all he doesn’t have the amulet anymore, he can’t go back in time and undo mistakes again. When he went back, he woke up in his past body, so no, there is no other amulet he can use. And the ending made absolutely no sense. Toby was with Jim when they discovered it the first time, why didn’t call for him? And making Toby take the burden of the amulet and putting him in endless danger on the front lines, doesn’t really sound like something Jim would do. I’ve always liked this show, but Del Toro really could’ve done better by just making Jim go back, and redo the war so no one dies, since there were only about 3-6 casualties idk how to account for all the cities the titans must’ve walked through, I mean SERIOUSLY they just up and abandoned those people. From China & the Arctic to Arcadia?? Not to mention that cowboy in Arcadia forest, he must’ve had serious internal injuries… not to mention the poor horse Edit: (credit to @Harith he’s here somewhere) Toby would chicken out with the Drall situation, he just doesn’t have the stomach for it. Plus, leadership is not his forte. Claire probably doesn’t become part of the team either, so that really complicates things, Morgana (witch with green hand, eternal night) probably would win. Ily Toby, but he just doesn’t have the guts. *added edit*: by that, I mean he had good character development, but he found the strength and willpower to fight, only because his best friend was beside him, taking the lead. Later in the series, yes, he could be the troll hunter. But at the beginning, he would probably be killed by drall, and/or the valley by the arena NotEnrique would never be found, Jim will never have a relationship with Strickler because he’s one of the reasons he came over from Gunmar’s side (Darklands, glowing green(?), bridge), not to mention 3Below, that just messes up the whole storyline, it’s something else now And like Douxie said, he would’ve given the world up to a much larger scale doom, because he switched places with Tobias, absolutely doing what Merlin told him *NOT* to do Another edit: he had serious character development, but it’s was all because Jim & Claire were there. In this timeline, they’re probably not really affiliated with each other the way they were before

Wow I thought I was the only one who hated the ending
