Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans movie came out a few months ago and while it was pretty okay over all, the ending was just bad… (That’s just my opinion ::D) So, I wrote an alternative ending and decided to just draw a comic out of it because.. why not?

My thoughts on the ending of the movie:

 The thing that really didn’t make any sense for me in the movie ending was, when Jim went back in time (why did he go all the way back, I thought he would go to the beginning of the movie, not to the beginning of the entire series) he just decided to throw it all to shits and give Toby the amulet, even though??? the whole point was that when time traveling he could save everyone that died? But he just went: “lol here you go toby, who cares am i rght??” and so, he didnt have any way of knowing who would die, how, what would happen from there on and possibly doomed them all??? what???? Not to talk about the fact that the entire series just basically didn’t happen, all the character building, development etc… and then Jim just invited Stickler to his house, while he was still.. you know, evil?? WHAT???

And the fact that wasn’t Jim “the chosen one”? They hammered down the entire series that Jimmy was the only one who could be the Trollhunter, until he just wasnt i guess…? It just didnt make any sense…

Like, they had the perfect set up for a good ending. All (in my head) they had to do is cut the screen to black, say something like 6 months later idk, and boom! there is Stickler and Barbara’s wedding, everyone is there, it’s nice, lovely, good ending! I just…. don’t understand the decision that they made while writing the ending.

About the setup for the comic:

So, in my comic the idea was that Jim went back in time for the start of the movie, thus being able to save all the ones that died in it. I considered the possibility of Jim going back to the day he found the amulet, however I think it would just be a bit too messy. Jim would know exactly who would die, where, what would happen etc. It was just a bit easier to write this comic without all that in mind.

The fact that Jim is the only one who has memory of losing all his loved ones, especially Toby, his best friend, is a bit jarring and I think those memories haunt him still. I tried to show a little bit of that in this comic, to really emphasize the good ending that came from the time traveling.
