Trollhunters

Maybe there's something more to at least some of the bad guys? Maybe Ron Perlmans character has a deeper motive or drive? Dunno. Haven't seen the show yet. But sometimes I don't mind the straight up villain character with no real deeper drive beyond wanting power or just likes being evil. As long as they're believable and enjoyable to watch then it's not a bad move to give them a shallow motivation or character.

It depends on character, for example, Superman always tries to appeal the good nature of the criminals because weere he grew up people was nice.

Batman has a thing with killing and would never try it.

But Wonder Woman was raised as a soldier so I expect her to kill.

Shouldn't surprise me with a literal spic as creator.

Sometimes the standard was upheld a bit too much though. Remember when Wondie snapped Maxwell Lord neck to stop him from controlling Superman's mind to kill people? Superman was like "Why you do that?"

Really?

Was Deltoro forced to compromise his vision so the character designs would be more marketable?

Don't wanna scar kids too much, I guess. Even though kids like to be scared and like cool monsters.

Del toro is a sellout, so of course he did. He is also a SJW faggot too but that is unrelated.

As I see it, looks like budget issues.
This thing has some of the best CGI I've seen in a series, making those original troll designs would've been too much. Not to mention how uncanny realistic humans look in CGI.

At least we'll always have the illustrations that are in the book.

As you said though, still some great CGI for a cartoon. That's probably thanks to Netflix itself. Now if this shit were a movie then it'd probably look even better. This even reminds me a lot of Firebreather. That had some pretty good CGI for it's time as well. If only I could get copies of the comic book.

Is Del Toro directing? Because that could be it, this series is not nearly as spaztic as literally any CGI series you could pick, they feel like the adobe flashh of CGI literally jumping positions from one frame to other, this one feels cinematic in comparison.

>show called "Trollhunters"

Yes, it's been his pet project to get his book made into a movie or show, so he's been involved with it a lot.

*There's no nordic trolls the size of mountains/hills in it

There ya go ya fuck.

I'm disappointed it's not some Dragon Huntsers tier sort of opening.

With the exception of Internet trolls, there aren't any other kinds of trolls.

I think you're just mad they didn't go with the most bland traditional look possible.

The Trollhunter is supposed to be a hunter that is a troll.

I think you're just trying to defend the fact they don't have any trolls at all in the show.

Heck, I'd even take the overused LotR style trolls over this BS.

ugh, the typical disney/dreamworks/pixar cgi humans stand out so much from the creatures/environment it's ridiculous

They're supposed to, since the Troll world is so unlike the human world.

Is this what it looks like when HTTYD and Skylanders have a baby?

This doesn't make a lot of sense unless the Trolls aren't made of flesh…

They're made of rock.

Alright. That makes sense. Odd that they'd emphasize that but not give them rocky exteriors.

They already have Trolls the movie

They do have rocky textrues, it's just the heroic trolls are smooth rock, it's the evil ones that are more craggy.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! CRAGGY ROCK TROLLS DESERVE BETTER TREATMENT THAN THIS! RICH SMOOTH ROCK TROLLS HAVE TIME TO POLISH THEIR SURFACE! WE ARE TOO POOR TO SPEND TIME TO POLISH OUR CRAGGY SURFACE! SMOOTH ROCK IS THE 1 PERCENT! OCCUPY OCCUPY OCCUPY!

CRAGGY ROCK SCUM!

They're called Gumm-Gumms.

Also being made of rock helps keep the gore G-rated.

"I identify as Stone-kin and this is horrifying!"

Well there's always SSSS for those interested in serious troll hunting in a post-apocalyptic world.

I do like that the sword is called Daylight because that is lethal to trolls.

Dropped.

...

How come this series hasn't been uploaded to kisscartoon yet?

I think a netflix rip takes 5-7 business days.
Especially given there's 26 episodes instead of the standard 13.

Ah. How many days has it been? 3?

still doesn't change the fact they look ugly as hell

Weren't all of the kiss* sites recently taken down because of copyright shit?

They moved to different site with similar name.

Damn.

They said he only finished most of his recording, but if there's a point where a different actor is used, I wasn't paying enough attention to notice.

Okay here are my impressions so far, slow start but once you get past the first couple of episodes the show picks up and it starts becoming really good, however the second half is kinda eh.

I wasn't a fan of killing off Ron Pearlman's character and replacing him with another villain for the rest of the season as I felt that made the second half feel a lot weaker than the first.

But once it gets going it kicks a lot of ass and as others have stated the animation is pretty top notch for a Dreamworks show.

Shame this will never get another season.

Wrong. They shut down the servers for maintenance. A few copy fakes sites took their place during that time but all they did was take your info. The sites are all back to normal now.

Is she Hispanic only by her name?

She says spanish things

Aren't changelings a type of fae rather than a type of troll specifically?

Yes, but in trollhunters a changeling is specifically a kind of troll that can take on the appearance of a human.

Well now I'm almost as triggered as the Norwegian anons.

Del Toro is Mexican.
"Write what you know" I guess.

She'll be the announcing one.

I'm only 7 episodes in right now. Gotta say…. I'm loving it so far. It's the first time in a very very very long time that I've been impressed with an American animated series. Like it's just so different and doesn't baby the audience too much. It feels like such a breath of fresh air. I hope it stays good as I go through. I'm loving every second of it.

Too bad it wont get a second season.

Something tells me he's just Pilot material.

Why you gotta hurt me like this? Have some faith!

is this still going?

It honestly look generic and its up against Skylanders

on hiatus because the guy in charge of the comic cant stop playing love live; school idol

he's a fan of Berserk then I take it?

Design wise could be better but it's not bad. Skylanders only has a better chance because toys.

I'm pretty sure changelings in this show aren't a type of troll at all. They don't seem to have the same rocky texture. Plus they don't really refer to them as one and the same at all. So it's all good.

Protect them from themselves.

CRAWWWWWWWL-

It probably will.
Dreamworks x Netflix works in large orders; Turbo knew from day 1 it was guaranteed 52 episodes, AHKJ knew from day 1 it was guaranteed 78, so Trollhunters will probably have a definite ending.
He'll have to recast of course, but that's not too hard.

...

What's more surprising is how quickly DWA/Netflix pumps out these seasons. Like, did you know VeggieTales in the House already has four seasons?

Porn of asian changeling lady when?

If interviews related to All Hail King Julien can be accepted as the standard, it's because the parties involved just never stop working on the shows.
The showrunner says it's handy for making use of guest actors that are hard to schedule; when they do get them in, they usually have scripts for all of their appearances over several seasons ready to record.

Nice

Alright I'm 22 episodes in. I have two big gripes with the show. First is all the spanish/mexican shit. We get it, Del Toro. You're hispanic. We don't need mexican food and common phrases shoved in constantly. Second is the fact that EVERYTHING is a troll except for Goblins. Changelings are trolls, the giant lava monster (who makes no sense) is a troll, the green swamp creatures are trolls, everything is a troll. Goblins, fire cats, and the pixies are the only non troll creatures seen. They really could've expanded their horizons better with including non troll magical creatures. Hell even just make the Changelings into fae instead of straight up trolls.

This one's another problem but not really a gripe. I'm just confused about it. The "baby" changeling says he's centuries old yet he's there to replace a baby. So does he just stay in that small form all his life or can he actually grow as his human form would grow? Also how come the oldest living troll is only over 4 thousand? That's pretty low, honestly.

What is Del Taco's obsession with getting kicked in the nuts?

Did you notice what appears to be Del Toro himself in the Nunez family photos?

He looks like a crazy aunt

Uncle

Nah. The crazy uncle would have a beard/goatee like that dad there but longer hair and a casual button up shirt. They'd be doing a much more bigger wider smile or funny pose. Least that's what I picture when I think 'crazy uncle'. Totoro-san there just looks like an overbearing aunt that enjoy badazzling things and owns a chihuahua.

Aunt is female

——–The Joke——→

Your head

Its better for him to add stuff he knows about rather than fuck up another culture interpretation.

I guess that makes sense. But it feels like it's wasted on a show about EUROPEAN/NORDIC mythological creatures. It's unneeded and pointless for this show.

Anyway. I finally finished the show. It was okay. Better than the usual cartoon but has issues I've already mentioned that bug me. It's still worth a watch, I suppose. Could've been better but these days 'okay' is the best you'll get from western cartoons.

Hey Reddit

Is just his experience plus the little talent he has.
Experience>Talent already so it was bound to be okay.
Besides is his first cartoon which kinda goes in quality with his first movie. It also was very imaginative but kinda botched up.

Guess Del Toro is just okay to good enough on average. He's certainly imaginative at least. Lately he's kinda just fluctuated in quality. Hopefully he'll learn some stuff from Kojima. Or just get crazier because of Kojima.

I don't know if he has full control over Pacific Rim but if he does then fuck him for making a sequel that won't even focus on the characters from the first movie. Instead replacing them with a shoehorned minority kid son of Idris Elba.

Kojima always watch at least 1 movie every day. I say Kojima has the advantage of being creative or just plain crazy

A bit of both, really.

Holla Forumsmblr sure loves to get triggered by all sorts of things.

Bit late to that party.

He lives with his dad in the book.
The book and the show are like divergent alternate universes determined by who gets custody.

Gotta round up those feminism points, amirite?

Yeah, why you think SJW's were moving to Canada and not the Mexico they so much defend.
Here in Mexico political correctness be damned. If you tip the judge off then fuck your vagina because you ain't getting any children or children money.

Did anyone recognize this logo, from Disney and GdT's aborted horror label? Sigh…

Never heard of it.

What?

He really is kinda bland

Explains the sword

Well, he does.

Hope you know they're not talking about Del Toro.

I do

Link?

Probably not

So how is it so far?

It was okay. Lot of missed potential. Ends on a cliffhanger when one or two more episodes could have ended the show on a complete note.

...

I hope more for season 2

Seems tame enough.

Explain

There's not much to explain, in the book Jim lives with his dad, mom having left the family long ago because dad could just never get over the loss of his younger brother as a kid, who was taken by trolls.

That's more compelling than what we get in the show.

Agreed

That style looks so much better than the crap they're using.

...

...

It still pisses me off he doesn't have a helmet when all the other Trollhunters do.

Helmets aren't heroic, silly.

Helmets are the shit and any self respecting warrior would have one!

I still like the original concepts better.

archive.is/sNqpk

Thanks

Damn it Nick!

Are you sure, in the book Claire is just a plain british girl instead of a spicy latina.

Am I sure of what? And what does Claire have to do with it?

...

Man season 3 of Black Mirror was really shit.

Man they really dialed down the style.

Dialed down the style, changed story elements like Jim's parents for no reason, changed characters around for no reason, and ended it with a cliff hanger. I just get more disappointed the more I think about this show.

And I thought Netflix would allow more freedom here.

We've been played for fools.

After their first couple series I guess so.

They kind of do, it's either because Del Toro thinks it watches better that way or Dreamworks thinks it is more marketable re:Toys that way.
Every Dreamworks X Netflix show has a guaranteed order so literally all of them feel free to drop season ending cliffhangers.
Even the episodic comedies abruptly shift mood in order to have a cliffhanger, so of course the serials have them.

Get ready for a new shift in the shitty entertainment industry. Everyone's going to shit like Netflix and Hulu. Soon every show will end on cliffhangers.

That's just optimized for the format; more serialized so you want to watch the entire season in one sitting with a cliffhanger to keep you waiting in anticipation for however long it takes for the next season.

That nigger is cursed, this is pretty much fucked.

First season was okay but underwhelming compared to the book. They already got a season 2 lined up. We'll see what happens.

Part 1 and Part 2, you mean.

When does it start?

Wait like 6 months then find out.

It'll be dead by then

It won't be anything amazing anyway. You can rest easy.

Is this show as broken as Del Taco?

oh fuck, and he'll be tainting the next game. Damn.

I bet next season is going to have a villain that is a Trump parody.

Del Taco is working on Death Stranding with Kojima. Make no mistake though, Kojima is the one in charge that will not let Taco taint his vision.

Too late- someone from Del Taco's team leaked the story on Holla Forums.

As if leaks or that shit board are ever credible.

Good point.

Well, it generally takes 6 months to make 13 episodes; if part 2 is going to be another 26 episodes, it will probably take an entire year.

Please tell me he isn't going to become a SJW.

Fuck sake…. Del Taco needs to go back.

No please, I don't want anything else I like to be tainted.

Too late,
It'll only be a matter of time before he gets cannibalized by his ilk.

Fucking hell, has Taco always been like this?

Pitty

Not sure, all we know his family has been kidnapped by cartel members once.

How long ago was this?

You fags are politicizing something that isn't political.

I think everyone's concern is that Del Taco is turning into SJW and are worried it may leak into his work.

w h y

Its always the case, it starts with some one off comments but then references start to develop in projects before going full retard.

Isn't he one of the whitest Mexicans around?

>>>/rule34/

Yep.

He's even got blue eyes

Read those tweets again retard.

Fuck this is so much better.

Anything's better than what came out.

who

Now the question is when will Del Toro make something with obvious SJW undertones?

If you don't like his political opinions, maybe you should make your own Holla Forums-approved cartoon, retards. Hitler lost, get over it.

hey Holla Forums

...

How do we get porn artists interested in this?

...

Just one tweet can lead to an entire career change.

Hopefully not, he's been fairly fateful to whatever projects he's tasked with. Plus considering most "mexican" culture is technically conservative (really religious) we shouldn't really have to worry. Unless its about immigration.

Hey Holla Forums

>>>/rule34/

I'll fap to whatever I want to.

epic JOJO image bruh have an upboat xD

It's possible to do both.

I'm on the first episode and I need to know do schools these days really give each kid a laptop? Isn't that a huge waste of money?

I'm reminded of the laptop Homestar uses to check emails:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLPC_XO

ew.com/tv/2017/02/09/guillermo-del-toro-trollhunters-season-2/
Good news, there's enough Yelchin recording that he can do the voice for one more 13 episode season, after which some plot device (puberty) will change it.

I'd prefer an injury from fighting Gunmar over just puberty changing his voice. Isn't he already 16 anyway?

I mean, they already say in the show that his voice is probably going to change soon in S1.

Alternatively this perfect plot device for getting a new voice actor that they conveniently already had planned before they lost Yelchin is a time skip.

That'd be pretty fucking cheap. Most likely going to be exactly what happens.

...

I thought you liked stories where the whiny kid grows up to be a tough man.

We really should've all seen Totorosan's SJW shit coming when Pacific Rim 2 details came out. Make what happened in the first movie not matter by bringing the kaiju back, getting rid of both protags from the first movie, and replacing them with nigger trooper from TFA who's retconned as Idris Elba's son. Yeah I totally believe the fucking general had time to raise a kid that wasn't Mako, that he never brings up, during all this chaos. Totally not a hamfisted way to force "progressive" ideals into a scifi movie.

Timeskips are cheap cop outs.

He already has been for a while. He spergs out constantly about how terrible white and asian people are. He also sperged out about how Ghostbusters flopped, how Rolf shat on the ghostbusters reboot, and how people call Rey a mary sue.

It's sad when a creative director drinks the kool-aid. His movies got great designs and sets. Even the shit ones have a good atmosphere to them. So much for Hellboy 3 though. Even if it got off the ground to finally happen, he'd fuck it all up completely.

I thought that Pacific Rim 2 was scrapped?

Why Asians? I thought that they were a protected race for SJWs or are they turning on them now and treating them like they do whites?

Nope. It's happening. The image I posted above is what the new Jaegers look like.

Well asians are so xenophobic that they hate other asians. So I guess the left hates them now because they're smart enough to hate niggers.

Fuck. Even though I liked the first one I'm starting to wish the sequel never got greenlit. Those Jaegers look generic.

They could just be the concept art for now but still gives you a general idea. I'm more mad at the complete cashgrab sequel and the fact that the characters from the first movie don't matter because of Del Taco wanting to push in niggers instead.

No dice.

I don't even have any hope for any Hellboy or the Goon related merchandise since the writers for those became full on hipster SJWs.

Just don't watch it. Stop giving money to Marxists. It's not hard unless you're a cuck.

No please, tell me they won't put any bullshit into the movie.

All I know is that Mike Mignola supported Obama. If you could point me to a post on his twitter or somewhere he actively shows signs of being an SJW then I can believe that.

Trust me I will never give el Taco another dollar. I'll pirate his works until he un-pozzes himself, as if that will ever happen.

You still buy shit?

...

I like physical media.

They can be done right.

Moron, anything can be done right. But when you say that it's mostly for things where it's very unlikely to be done right.

Its always about time and money

Dreamworks is very clingy about it's money so the money aspect will be nothing but a hindrance on any of their shows qualities.

But what about other studios, lately disney has been going done a similar path.

Every studio that starts to get stingy with their money while they're making mega profits is the ultimate sign of kikery. A studio that does this is doomed to fail big for a while if they don't shape up.

That guys at Laika haven't

Laika is full of seriously talented, dedicated, and creative people. Their problem is the lack of advertising for their movies which ultimately makes them fail.

Well that's a different story, the guy's dad is made of money, they more or less don't have to worry about making a profit at all.

The kids on the original look dumb as hell but del Toro does make great monsters & critters, the second Image is the opposite, almost, The kids are OK-ish, but the Trolls themselves look horrible, fucking Skylanders look cooler than this fucking plushies.

bump

The original kids look so much better than the wannabe pixar crap we got though.

Not all things work properly on CGI.

How come all of the females in this show have a flat chest?

Del Taco thinks having breasts is for Trump supporters. He also likes pizza parties.

See what I mean?

Yes, I can see it: You have autism.

Yes but all of the female owners of the flat chest pictured are teens and adult women. I'm not saying that they should all have double d's but a lot of their tits should be bigger than that.

"Real" women don't have huge…tracts of land. At most, they have mounds.

really dude

dropped.

That's not completely true. She has troubles controlling her emotions and can't use the magic shadow staff super well. She also doesn't get along with the fat kid and has to be saved several times by other characters.

What do you expect? The creator is a huge SJW.

Its more of a old stereotype.

Stereotype or trope if you really wanna be specific. But he isn't wrong. Del Toro drank the kool-aid recently. So I wouldn't be surprised if it effected some of the characterization in this show.

Her design is unfitting. Claire dresses like a punk girl but acts like a preppy bookworm. I'm sure Del Toro wanted to make her a girl next door but was afraid that wasn't progressive enough.

How does she dress punk at all?!

I think he means the outit and hair dtreak. I wouldn't say punk, just alternative.

there's a difference?

Maybe.

Huge. Punk is like mohawks, piercings, and dark torn clothes.

It's now on hiatus but the guy who makes it decided to go full jew and said he'll bring it back if he makes over 100$ on patreon.

Only thing that bothers me about her design is he blue streak she has in her hair, it's unnecessary.

Its hip with the kids

ftfy

Well fuck the kids!

I've seen a lot of little girls with dyed hair or high-lights now. It's just a current trend.

It compliments the millions of rainbow colored hairpins she wears.

Don't mind if I do!

Shame really

Then they'll have more kids.

bump

For what fucking reason, itll just get people to hate it more because they'll think someone is spamming

plus there isn't really anything to discuss that hasn't been discussed

I feel like I've been assaulted

why?

first forty seconds is a mess of lore and shit happening for the sake of itself.
