Trollhunters

>>89030205
Just finished watching it. I'd give it a 6/10 if I had to:
>Pretty standard "Hero's Journey" story--not great or revolutionary, but no major missteps either
>Voice acting was solid, though not outstanding. Characters are well-defined enough that they are reconizable, though slightly stereotypical
>Plotting is fairly well-paced, with important plot points given time to sink-in, and plot threads are introduced and paid off.
>Story arcs are defined and clear, with enough threads laid to keep interest across them

Good, though not great. Kept my attention, even if the first 3 or 4 episodes were a little bit of a slough. Don't know if I'm going to watch the next season, but it was watchable enough this season

>>89030205
I'd say when Angor Rot gets introduced, it's good but don't except it to be amazing.

>>89030205
the second half of the season is less predictable, but I'd say the overall quality remains the same. I enjoyed it tough. nothing spectacular, but worth watching for me at least.

Does anyone know if it will continue?

>>89031764
>introduce Angor
>let us know he is a baddy because he was screwed over
>even show how he was a good guy and was betrayed and forced to become a killer
>it never pays off
>he fucking destroys his soul and Angor never gets a development beyond "grr"

>>89030205
This show is just filled with nicely written duos!
I really enjoyed all character interactions.
Arghhh and Toby
Jim and Strickler
NotEnrique and Clarie (which is my favorite)

Can't wait for next season!

>>89030205
It's ptobably not for you since it kicked in for most anins atound there. You can maybe stick ot out a while longer and see how it goes. Also, season 2 goes full action cartoon and it really finds its roots.
And why did they release two seasons as one part? Episode 14 is obviously supposed to be the first episode of season two.

>>89032168
He is tragic character in the series. More shows should get those.

>>89032168
Still a lot better than the previous bad guy, as he interacts a lot with Jim.

>>89032805
He's not actually tragic though. They never actually use his backstory in any efficient way. In fact I'd have preferred him to remain basic.teasing his sad backstory and different personality, only to never use that is just wasted potential

>>89032835
True. he also had a nice shtick and was genuinely unpredictable and fun to watch.

Anyone else want to bang the pink female changling?

I just got to episode 13. What's with Claire suddenly being perfect at everything?

No, only Draal.
>>89034123
She actually read the plot to the Book of Life for her Spanish project.

You can't have female characters be flawed, that would be sexist.

They name drop Merlin every episode but do they actually explain what the fuck he did?

>>89034640
Why does she need so many hairclips?

>>89030205
>and they all make this face

Is "Rule number three!" the new "That's my purse!"

>>89035045
Nope. I assume there's a bunch of wizards around and Merlin was one of them and he created the amulet, hence the name. But the show doesn't actually explain anything.

>>89033682
It bothered me too. Mostly because it's a blatant sign that they don't know what to do with her so they go the cliche route. It's not just her either. Every human man character is a cliche down to the weapons they use. So of course the best friend is a goofy idiot with a big body and a hammer, and the girl is the frail but intelligent girl whose academic knowledge of tthe troll world rivals their master's, and of course she gets to use magic, because it's the only thing girly enough they have.

>When does this show start getting interesting?
Did you have any reason to believe it would?

>>89032987
The true tragedy is that no one will ever know besides the audience.

>>89035077
For people with hairclip fetishes.

The worst episodes are the ones that force Claire into the group, but by the end of the season they move away from the OH NO SCHOOL b-plots, which I really appreciated. It seems like they set up an actually interesting second part, and I'm sad that it may never come out.

>>89035746

I hope it does, I wonder what Del Toro will do with finding a replacement voice for Jim?

>>89035045
I'd imagine that, being a wizard, he was involved a great deal in the whole supernatural/troll scene. He probably helped them out a lot and then created the amulet when he left so they could handle things themselves.

I'd also imagine the baba yaga will end up being Le Fay, and a major antagonist after the bad trolls are dealt with. At which point more history of the amulet and Merlin will be revealed.

Fuuuuuuuckkkkkk

Dat Voice Cast
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1734135/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

Ron Pearlman and Tom Hiddleston to boot. Who did Gunmar's voice?

>>89035770
>>89036652
>>89036696
Second season greenlit then?

>>89036720
Clancy Brown, voicing his third Ancient Evil Awakens character in recent years.

Don't get excited for Hiddleston. He only is in the first episode. He is replaced after that.

>>89036857
I don't see Clancy Brown on that list

Even though the second season gets better, it still has some contrived bullshit, like Jim being stupid about Angor in the time stopping episode and the whole deal with his mom near the finale.

Reminder that Strickler fed a security guard to Bular.

Reread the posts.

>>89030205
claire is a piece of shit but everything else is fine.

Is that the tossed salad and scrambled eggs haircut?

>>89034640
But she has no personality.

>>89035077
To let you know that she's quirky and unique.

>>89038815
Top-tier waifus for /co/ are always blank slates or mean girls that they make tsundere.

You can't possibly be THIS retarded. Can you?

>>89040063
Since there is no direct correlation between the two in either of these posts or in how they respond to one another it's really not a given.

>>89041096
The second post right away mentions a voice actor. It has no context within the post itself, but it makes sense as a direct answer to the question raised.

I knew /co/ was going to shit, but how can anyone fail this hard at basic reading comprehension.

>>89041511
There's nothing there to form a definitive connection especially when there's the possible pretense of the one claiming Clancy Brown was in this could be mistaken.

>>89036781
I think Dreamworks Netflix deal more or less guarantees a preset number of seasons for each show.
Like, AHKJ knew from day one 78 episodes is all they get.

>>89037341
Why did he leave, bros?

Knowing how paint by numbers this series has been so far, how many bets are on it having something to do with the Trolls?

>>89041828
My money is on his backstory is still the same as it is in the books and Jim will meet uncle Jack in part 2

>>89041828
His dad was a changeling all along, what a twist!

>>89036898
Agreed. He should've either just given Angor the ring and honor the deal or just flat out kill him while he was vulnerable.

Why didn't he think Angor would try to betray him if he possessed the ring, just like with Strickler?

>>89034478
>She actually read the plot to the Book of Life for her Spanish project.
Really? That's a cool easter egg.

>>89036720
I had no idea that was Steven Yeun as Steve Palchuk.

>>89045668

He made much more of an impression in this than on Voltron. He had fun with Palchuk.

>>89035098
I dont know you!!

no.

>>89033211
Yes, please. How are there japanese trolls like Nomura, though? Trolls are linked to the old country, aka Europe.

>>89048553
Probably kidnapped an american-japanese baby.

>>89048553

She isn't Japanese, she stole the identity of someone who is.
