First time asking questions here :)
I want to hear from you: what happened to KISMET? Where were they all these years? Behind the scenes? Being Branch's secret friends? Did they know that their brother/best friend was gray??Did you know about Grandma Rosiepuff's death???
We don't have enough answers for so many questions 😔
(I particularly like to think that they were there during all the films, always behind the scenes silently supporting Branch.)
Where WAS KISMET While Branch Was Suffering?? 😭👀
FIRST OF ALL.... This question is evil. Because now I have to think about timelines AND emotions.
And DreamWorks really said:
✨ “Here’s two boybands”
✨ “No, we will not explain anything.”
Okay so let’s line this up because this is IMPORTANT.
BroZone exists → breaks up
Branch is still a kid → still singing
Grandma Rosiepuff gets taken → Branch stops singing
Years pass → Movie 1 happens
Now here’s the key thing: BroZone had to exist during a time when Bergens were NOT actively hunting Trolls. Because there is NO WAY:
would just go: “Yeah, let’s leave our baby brother in a tree that gets harvested as a snack.”
So that means there was a period of safety before everything went downhill.
👀So, Where Does KISMET Fit??
Now THIS is where it gets interesting. There is a VERY small window where:
👉 Branch is still singing
👉 BroZone is already gone
👉 Grandma is still alive
And I 100% believe this is where ✨KISMET happens ✨because KISMET wasn’t just random. They were the reason Branch tried again to:
😱 Then Everything Goes Wrong (as it always does)
Grandma Rosiepuff gets taken, Branch stops singing, turns grey and emotionally shuts down.
So the big question: what did KISMET do when that happened??
🤔 The Three Possibilities
just… not there when it happened
Which means they come back like: “Hey Branch where...” and he’s just:
🧍 grey
🧍 bunker
🧍 emotionally unavailable
2. They Knew… and Didn’t Know How to Help:
Branch not singing anymore
Branch changed completely
And they try to help, but he shuts them out. Which means KISMET didn’t leave him. They just… couldn’t reach him anymore.
This is my favorite. KISMET stayed in his life. Not loudly. Not in a “Let’s sing!” way.
🚫The “Branch Wouldn’t Do That” Argument
Here’s why I don’t think Branch fully lost them: Branch knows what it feels like to be left. There is NO WAY he would turn around and go: “Yeah, I will now emotionally abandon my new group too, just like my brothers did to me.”
Even if he stopped singing… He wouldn’t repeat that cycle.
KISMET became his quiet support system.
They just… stayed. In the background. Waiting. Meanwhile Branch is like: “I am fine. I need no one.”
And KISMET is like: “Okay. We’re still here, though.”
So while BroZone represents the family that left too soon. KISMET might represent the people who stayed… even when Branch couldn’t meet them halfway.
Which makes the whole thing 10x more emotional because now I’m imagining: KISMET watching Branch FINALLY sing again at the end of Movie 1 like: 😭 “HE’S BACK” 😭
I am once again asking for:
👉 LORE
👉 BACKSTORY
👉 AND EMOTIONAL CONTEXT
Because there is SO MUCH happening here.
