Under Arcadia

Those monsters, in your letter - they're real monsters!!!

[change-thing]

I know there’s a lotta fan theories out there, but how come I’ve seen ZERO (0) mention of how Lancelot is very obviously future Steve????

Not just the same hair and nose and eye colour, but right down to the exact same gap between their teeth. Future Steve, long lost time-travel dad, medieval ancestor, whatever - there’s no way they’re not connected. Wonder if the movie’s gonna shed some light on the mystery ……..

(Disclaimer: I haven’t finished the series so if this is explained away in a later episode, whoops)

So was this ever explained in the movie or ...? 🤔🤔🤔

Here’s a sobby Jim to sum up my feelings

[change-thing]

no but exactly ur post sums it up entirely it got too Big and High Stakes and they lost the personal ness that made me rlly care abt trollhunters in the first place I watched the movie and was honestly kinda disappointed 😔😔😔

thank you! 😔🙏

(It's just like how the first episode of Wizards leaps into this crazy timetravelling-camelot-troll-alien thing, which is disorienting even if you have seen the other shows - whereas the biggest appeal of Trollhunters was in those classic, simple setups like 'trying to hide a monster in the basement without mom finding out' and 'my teacher is secretly my arch nemesis' and 'I've gotta go on a deadly mission and be in the school play on the same night' ... Personal, high stakes vs vague grandoise world-ending plots, for sure)

I don't follow Trollhunter content much these days, but if the trending page is anything to go by it looks like the new movie really ... sucked. Which sucks, and I sympathize, but I'm not surprised.

I think the franchise has been on a downward spiral for a few years now (perhaps precisely because it became a big franchise rather than one single solid story). I loved the original two seasons' grounded characters, well-developed magic, high stakes, and tightly-plotted arcs; they're still some of my favourite examples of really excellent storytelling. But around the time del Toro took a back seat on the project, the story rapidly disintegrated into confusing and unnecessary 'plot twist!' territory, which in the end is just deeply unsatisfying.

It's a real shame, and it sucks that it's gone so far that a lot of you feel the same disappointment towards this new movie as I did towards Trollhunters back then.

It's cool if you do like the later stuff, and I do admire all the work the creators have put into it. I'm just sad that the show changed so much in tone and quality over the (frankly overblown) storyline that it caused even a dedicated fan like me to almost completely lose interest.

If you're in the same boat, you might be much happier if you pretend it all ended once Jim escaped the Darklands, like I've been pretending for a while now ...

RIP, Jimbo. You were the best.

Happy fourth birthday to my favorite animated series!!

I know Trollhunters since 2018 and it means soo much for me! So I made this quick drawing to celebrate

I always forget to post my art here but you can find them on my insta! ToA has been in my mind all the time (again) these past months lol

Gosh, it’s been a minute! Sorry I haven’t been as active guys: I’m hoping that now, with Christmas break coming I’ll be posting more often. 

Anywho, Here’s another piece that I’ve been wanting to share with you. Apart from Tangled, the Tales of Arcadia series is another one of my absolute favorite shows. If you have Netflix, please watch it: you won’t regret it. There’s actually 3 parts, Trollhunters, 3Below, and Wizards. This piece is based on Trollhunters and two of its main characters Jim and Claire. I love them so much and their love for each other is so wholesome.
