Much like the series that preceded it, however, Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans is also filled with emotional moments, deep themes, and relatively adult concepts that younger viewers might not pick up on.

This kind of ending makes everything feel void. They should’ve had Jim go back to the beginning of the movie and had him fix mistakes from there, not the beginning of the entire journey. All the mistakes he and his friends made and the things they had to endure is what forged their bond, and by removing that, he’s most likely making things worse. Strickler for example probably won’t be his enemy now because he loves his mom, and Claire and Jim won’t have the same relationship because he’s not the trollhunter. This ending was honestly one of the worst decisions they could’ve made for the end. Unless they fix something in the future, this ending has honestly ruined trollhunters.

(Edit): First off, I’d like to say thank you for all the likes on this comment, I wasn’t expecting it. Secondly, I’d like to say thank you for the interesting theories and civilized discussion in the replies, it’s a nice to see people who have opposing views yet aren’t acting like animals towards each other.

The ending was disappointing for me. They should have just honor the sacrifices of the characters who died in the end, not undo them by restarting the timeline. They literally just threw out the all character development spent on the other characters in the entire Arcadia series. Plus there's no Señor Uhl and NotEnrique so it's a little meh.

[MythosFilmsYT]

The ending literally made no sense, and it's infuriating. So because he wanted to SAVE Toby's life - He's literally put him in permanent danger by making him the Trollhunter? And who says there won't be even MORE people that die this time around, with Toby in that position? Jim already struggled a ton, and now he's just put that burden on Toby. It's so out of character for him, it really ruins the story. This would only have -kind of?- made sense if they had shown Jim to still have his amulet as well. I honestly don't know how to feel about this ending, it feels like it just can't be the end of such a great saga.

[IcarusFluffle]

Very disappointing ending for such an amazing and thrilling story

[erikkt.]

I enjoyed the troll hunter movie but felt like the ending shattered the first series of the three because if Jim gone back to start over with slight time altercations for a different outcome that could lead for Jim having a happy life with his friends and his mom and his father figure like he could’ve saved graal and unlock the full power of the amulet and awaken Merlin earlier and befriended Aja and krell right after they appeared at school which means eventually they’ve all could’ve been together for the time nari changed her ways and able to protect her better than they did in wizards and the movie

[narinawin]

Everything on what happened on Trollhunters, 3below, and Wizards was WASTED BECAUSE OF THE ENDING! 😭

[julietacaamic]

Im rlly dissapointed when toby got the amulet..

[mr.bombastic]

I would have rather Tobi get a statue in the center of Arcadia as a hero than all this time traveling stuff

[choamyel]

I cried sm when Nomura, Walter, Nari and when Toby died and at the end they reseted the time to the very first beginning 😭

[amberleighqqqq]

So you’re telling me they chose to waste 5 YEARS of hard work and animation on a stupid ending that honestly made no sense? Yeah, bad move.

[cataddict]

The ending is the definition of...“Suddenly, they woke and realised it was all a dream!”

[basiamalinka]

That ending was idiotic. Jim was chosen by the amulet it wasn't "any hooman" it was "Jim Lake Jr." wtf is this shit
I will pretend the movie doesnt exist.
Also I don't think Toby being the trollhunter will make things better bc how(?) and with all that Jim went through I think it's selfish to throw that on someone else and stay on the sidelines. It's like Harry going back in time and setting up Neville to be the chosen one because Dobby died. Like c'mon

[galacticmagicstudios]

Steve and Aja suddenly having kids was horrifying.

[khalid.]

Jim was literally depressed on how if he didn't have the amulet he was a nobody, meanwhile he goes back in time just to give toby the amulet instead,

i am disappointed in this movie.

[yellowsunflower]

I honestly don’t feel like this movie was a good move, especially not the ending. Everything felt a little shoddy, from the character development to the rushed plot lines. It movie laid down so much to rest and that’s the beauty of a good movie. You don’t just take away all of the loss, the mistakes, the faults that make a show and it’s characters unique. The ending was an example of that! If he had to go back, at least he should’ve gone back to the beginning of the movie. The entire thing just feels like a soggy bandaid of a sandy knee. Things are all just glossed over. The things that makes Trollhunters, well, *Trollhunters* is just smothered into the ground. It was an alright movie, but it just feels so unsatisfying. Like a particularly bad fanfic trope.

[mr_majikku]

The movie was pretty good but the ending honestly ruined it for me. It kinda made the entire series pointless, would've preferred them to not even use the time stone. It also would've made Jim feel much more mature if he decided to not go back in time and accept what's happened.

[iris_journals]

Jim: Ok Toby your turn to get traumatized
I hate the ending it was so disappointing like all that they went through and I feel like Toby would not make a good trollhunter and for like all of the seasons in Trollhunter Tales of Arcadia they wouldn’t shut up about it was Jim’s destiny not tobys or draals or anybody to be the trollhunter and they go back in time and give Toby the amulet so stupid

[katherinemayers]

Guillermo del Toro says Jim “knows I am the Trollhunter, with or without the amulet” and that if the amulet is meant to return to him, it will. This was said in a Q&A in LA.
This movie doesn't make sense.

[filipesilva]

I think they should have learned with the Flash series that time traveling to make everything perfect again doesn’t work...

[samuraix]

It was really good. Until the ending. The ending just cheapened and erased all that suffering, endurance, character development... If he'd gone to the beginning of the *movie, * it might've been alright, but this? This ruined the entire story.
