Rise of the Titans


 


There are spoilers here. Not too many. Just one: Jim resets time to the day he found the amulet and Toby becomes the Trollhunter.

What the actual fuck? you might ask. Perhaps you felt let down by the ending? I certainly was. The producers shit on their franchise.

And it is a franchise. 


And so we come to the end of the franchise with Rise of the Titans and an ending that shits upon the entire journey we have taken over the course of six years.

If we learned anything from Wizards, it is that meddling with time is not a good idea.

We are making part of the drama the difficulties of time travel; namely it’s very easy to screw up the future if you don’t know what you’re doing. And we have some characters in Wizards who could safely be described as not quite knowing what they’re doing. So, we definitely wanted to show the consequences, and also live with the stakes of what happens if you make a change to the past you did not intend.
-Marc Guggenheim, Executive Producer Wizards

How does a hard reset - basically wiping everything out in order to start fresh, which is ironically what our heroes were trying to prevent happening in Titans - stop characters from dying? The dynamics have shifted. 

Meh. I recommend not even watching this movie. Or, if you must watch it, allow your attention to wander right before Jim goes looking for the taco truck.
