I know people have complained about ROTT to death, but something that's bugged me for years since I first watched it was how Toby's sacrifice and death was handled
The biggest problem I have with the choice of killing off Toby is that there was no build-up to it. Before this moment, the movie pays almost no attention to Toby; there's no scene between Jim and Toby where they talk to one another. Instead, those moments are given to Jim and Claire, which have already been explored. There are no hints about Toby feeling like he isn't doing more for the team, which honestly could've been really interesting since the series had the habit of pushing him to the side
His death literally comes out of nowhere. It's painfully obvious that they had Toby die not only for cheap shock value but to justify Jim's choice to go back in time and give Toby the amulet. It's disappointing because I think Toby getting an arc about feeling inadequate to the team and wanting to do more, eventually culminating in him being the reason that the team was able to win against the Arcane Order could've been amazing for his character. But unfortunately, they didn't go that route with him and we all know how ROTT's ending turned out
