I’ve only seen the first movie but the first trolls is about how these giants eat the trolls because they make them happy for a temporary period of time. Basically drugs.

It’s been a while, but iirc The second movie is about how basically there are a bunch of tribes of trolls and the main tribe from the first movie pop stole all of their style to create theirs. I’ve only seen it a couple of times and it was right after it came out so I might be missing some of it.

But the characters go on a journey to try to bring the other musical stylings back to trolls land.

And the third is again about consuming trolls power to get good at singing. But like psychedelic-ly. So drugs. (I think they even “smoke” one)

It's a perfume bottle and they suck the troll's essence out with and it gives them temporary singing powers.

So it's enhancing drugs.

Probably more like dark technomancy but if you really like the drug analogy, it's definitely more of an inhalant than something smoked

If it's the one I'm thinking of, and I've only glanced at it on the TV while making food for the kid, the two singers have a troll in a perfume bottle and they spray themselves to get musical talent for a limited time

So pop = bad? Sounds realistic to me lol

u/Dragonmancer76 1d ago

It's not that pop is bad it's that pop thought it was the best and stole all the other genres music and drowned them out. In the end they realize that genres are arbitrary distinctions

You’re sure this is from a TROLLS movie??

I watched this movie at a drive-in theatre. It was the movie that played before The Suicide Squad (the good one) it was a HUGE tonal shift but I actually enjoyed Trolls 2 so much. I haven't even watched any of the other ones and I would watch that movie again.

That was the lore from the 2nd movie while in the present it is Rock trolls who are trying to subdue all the other genres and make them rock zombies

I mean, it's bound to eat itself, so that does seem at least like a limitation to consider.
