My opinion of Rise of the Titans
Ok. I have things to say about the ending of Tales of Arcadia. I am 100% on board with Jim going back in time to try and prevent all the innocent casualties with the Arcane Order. However, I am NOT on board with giving Toby the amulet. As much as I love Toby and wish him nothing but happiness, think of what an experienced Jim could accomplish?
He comes back to the day he gets the amulet with 2+ years of trollhunter experience under his belt. Consider what he could change:
- The bridge is recovered early on because Jim knows where it’s being held.
- Bular, Gunmar, and Morgana are still defeated.
- Toby, Nomura, Nari, Draal, Strickler don’t die.
- Vendel doesn’t die because Jim knows who Gunmar’s spy in trollmarket is.
- With possession of the bridge, all of the Trollhunters go into the darklands together, freeing all of the babies and Gunmar’s prisoners, and kill Gunmar without the unnecessarily casualties in trollmarket. Jim made the mistake of going in alone, he wouldn’t do that again.
- Because the fight is taken to Gunmar, trollmarket never falls and Jim and Claire don’t need to leave Toby.
- Jim doesn’t need to become half-troll because why would they need to go reawaken Merlin until the events of Wizards?
- When the Arcane Order attacks, Douxie is with Nari, and Jim doesn’t get corrupted by the Green Knight. So the seals are never lost. The amulet doesn’t break, and Jim is able to hunt down and destroy the Arcane Order with the full team from ROTT.
- Toby still becomes War Hammer, Claire still learns shadow magic. Douxie becomes a master wizard when they go back in time to learn about the Green Knight. Strickler and Barbara get married. Jim protects both the human world and the troll world. Douxie protects Nari. Jim lessens the trauma the second time around and gets the love and support from the family he found for himself.

Me, watching Jim get his armour whilst 'Children of the sun' plays: *crying* I can't wait to immediately watch this film again!
Me, after the film ends:..... Nevermind
The relationship I have with romance is like a horror story. I can enjoy it in media when well executed, but in real life my reaction to someone pursuing me romantically and pursuing me with an axe are more or less the same
me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit
mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters
me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU
