I agree with you besides the last part, Toby wasn’t a sidekick, it may have seemed that way but he was Jim’s moral support since day 1 and he’s only human unlike jim who had the amulet that made him like a troll and Claire who had the shadow staff and shadow portal magic, he’s does the best he can to keep up with the those two but at least he had better fighting skills than Steve and Eli so I agree him having the amulet was a wrong move but with knowledge of the future Jim could have made Toby into a better fighter like better armor and better hammer and maybe mix it with the technology from krell and Aja

Claire however, only started to notice him after he became a Trollhunter. It's a bit weird how he'll see her. Cause he knows the Claire from his past, the one that fell in love with him, that fought alongside him, the one that fought Morgana by herself. All that shaped her. If Jim uses his knowledge of the past (future) to change those events, will Claire be the same Claire? What do you think?

Despite the ending, this movie was great, as was the rest of the franchise. I really enjoyed Bellroc as the ultimate overarching antagonist of the franchise, and I think it was cool how, despite her and the Trollhunter line being the greatest enemies of each other (they've been fighting each other for almost and millennium), Bellroc still gave Jim the opportunity to spend his last moments with his loved ones.

@Ryan-gw3yv Жыл бұрын

Because she isn't evil. She wants balance but can't see the divine spark in humanity. She's blind as she was blinded in symbolism. She didn't learn. She was her own villain and an enemy by unfortunate circumstances. Sounds like the story of an angel who was cast out eh? More or less repeating. For only children are worthy of the kingdom inherently. So this was another Michael casting out Samael. After all, even Skrael warned her there would be consequences for interfering directly.

Jim needs some character development he already went through.”

I’m totally good with him being the most powerful one there once he gets the new amulet, but everyone is equally the protagonist, douxie faced off against the arcane order in his show and he really only fully interacts the them (excluding Nari) in the beginning. And on top of that, the ending sucked.

It just upsets me that they just left us on a cliffhanger and that was the final movie out of all the seasons. I wondered what happened to the present character after Jim went back to the past. And didn’t Jim said he would come back would he? So many trolls, Changlings, people, akaridians died throughout the series and movie. It’s just so frustrating

To every department that had a role in the production of this film Thank you for all the hard and amazing work you all are masters of your craft NO DOUBT!!! Wish I coulda had even the smallest role in the making! I’ve always was mesmerized by the creation of animation especially the Art work and music behind it!!! I am a musician and artist myself I have a HUGE respect for all of it!!! And truthfully speaking a lil off topic but when you play an instrument you gain a way broader respect for all types and genres of music! Before I would just only listen to certain genres and artists but since I I been playing it opened my eye and mind and love for all creations of both music and art, well done to the creators of this film.. thank you!

If you ask me this movie sucked all the way through. No one acted like themselves, Jim unlearned all his character development, it focused way too much on Jim (he’s not the protagonist of wizards or 3BELOW) and Jim solving the plot by himself spits in the face of the show’s message, which is quite clearly, “you shouldn’t be expected to do things alone”.
