I did like troll hunter more than troll because of the concept of a secret agency controlling trolls versus one left of its kind.

i would consider this more of a spiritual prequel than a successor, you could tie both movies together by thinking that this incident was the reason the agency was formed in order to control troll population.

I saw the movie and loved it. I would love a sequel that expands more on the lore. You can also hear “In the Hall of the Mountain King” as the army encounter and battle the Troll for the first time. You just have to listen close, and it played behind the main score.

Hey StoryDive. I just want to say that as a norwegian i loved you`re video. you explained the folklore and mythology so well and i thought that you pronounced the names and norwegian words well too. my favorite was how you said Dovregubbens Hall. this video made me so happy. i grew up with the folklore as a kid and most of my childhood took place in gudbransdalen where dovre mountain is. many of the places in the troll movie have I had as a playground for me, even lillehammer familypark. i go there almost every years. so the folklore is really close to me and the fact that you talk about saint olaf, peer gynt asbjørn and moe, you made my day. i love both the movies (troll hunter and troll 2022) and i loved your video. thank you. hope your having a great day. from maren from norway.

Thank you! I didn't have time to listen to Norwegians saying all the words aside from in google translate, which is not always accurate. So, I was a bit nervous about getting the pronunciations very wrong. I know that I am saying them with my Canadian accent so they are not perfect but as long as it's not very far off I'm ok with that. I'm glad I hit on most of the major points from the perspective of a Norwegian. I love Norwegian culture and folklore and hope to visit for the first time soon.

Nice attention to detail with the mythological references I don't think anyone's tried explaining the connections as well as the distinct difference in myths that the trolls are intelligent, its the exact opposite canon found in Trollhunter movie before this where the expert says "no they don't do human things like in legend they're just carnivorous animals" and both are logical choices to realities to the myths they're based on as movies. Also I never considered the troll we saw could be the son, I assumed it was the king cause he seems old, tired and lonesome but you can easily equate that to being trapped under a mountain as a child and being awakened in an alien world as an adult, reminded of your family being killed and that its no use doing anything. But I can't shake the idea that we only are spared his wrath because this could definitely be the old king and he's been tempered by experience and understanding of humans, knowing that the bystanders like the father and son were innocents and he was willing to stop and observe the protagonist's father, only accidentally killing him and then showing regret afterwards. Imagine if the second one is the son and he's able to grow much bigger (I feel like people sometimes forget the factor that parents aren't always bigger than their children) and with that has no restraint or empathy to humans, all he's known is humans killing his family and now his father just as he stumbled out into the world. Kind of makes me wish that second troll king rallies more than one troll to want to wage war against humans like in Hilda, another Norwegien inspired show with Troll and human conflict.

Just watched Troll. It was an EXCELLENT movie.

I hopping for a sequel to the troll 2022 movie

Hall of the Mountain King in my view personifies anxiety

I like troll hunter more than this movie because it shows different species of trolls, although what I like about the 2022 film is that although they also want to kill him there's at times the possibility of co-existence and we learn some troll lore... I like the idea of the troll being intelligent and it's sad he's the last of his kind, it's almost fucked up when he dies at the end because all of me just wants him to live. Why as humans must we kill everything rather than understand it? however an intelligent being that is basically what we are to ants... why should he listen to our whims. I feel like I'd like a film about trolls and mythological creatures set in an older time where they're in their prime rather than modern times where we can't learn much about them, to me this misses out and makes them more of a creature feature... like dinosaur's in many modern films. I feel like it would be cool to have a movie that really created it's own world with medieval people living alongside all these folktales, exploring how they lived etc. There would be some fighting but I'd like if it focused more on co-existence than pointless killing. I find movies like that endlessly predictable and to be honest downright boring, it's such a ooga booga brain move like c'mon we can make something more interesting and more creative than this.

There is Askeladden movies with Norwegian folklore, set in an oldtime when we used to believe in fairytales. The creatures are not co-existing with humans within Norwegian folklore, because they are ment to be evil. And I think if we change it to creatures being good, it looses the point, as folklore was used to keep children out of danger. Maybe to you this is "ooga booga writing" but this is our folklore.

I’m so glad you updated!!!

Regarding the theory of the troll we saw being the "child" the Christians used to lure the king. Perhaps the reason the troll child is bigger infant trolls as we seen with the skull it picked up is because its a teen in troll years.

I always thought the Troll King was Ricky Gervais. His hosting of the Golden Globes was AWESOME!

Glad you’re back!!!

Great vid and very informative! I first knew about trolls not through Tolkien, but through a cartoon named "The World of David the Gnome", where they did turn into stone if exposed to sunlight.

A good King needs a Royal Guard, right? What if the troll we see waking up in the end credits is a member of that Guard, sent to aid the King in his effort to rescue his son. Now when he finds out that he failed his mission to protect the King…

Excellent as always!

I always remember hearing Hall of the Mountain King on an advert for Alton Towers Theme Park

I saw the film and thought the story was well written with strong characters, that built on existing Norwegian folklore and my heart broke seeing the baby troll's skull.

Just watched this! Was amazeding, hope they make another 🎉

Troll.. the troll we saw was ofc not the king because we heard at the Palace that "the son of the troll king was sent to the Dovre mountains never to be seen and left for dead" So the troll that was seen came from dovre mountains

Fascinating video

Yes I was on vacation, but will try to post more regularly now

I preferred Troll Hunter, I watched it with my son and he thought it was an actual real life documentary that went wrong. The trolls seemed more realistic and dangerous. I was looking forward to the release of Troll, it was a bit comical in comparison like a Hollywood family version, I think the design of the new Troll looked like they had tried to restyle the end Troll in the Troll Hunter film, I was kind of hoping that the new film would of been a continuation into the cinematic universe of the Troll Hunter because that film is one of kind. I believe that there is possibly some truth to the folklore and that creatures like this possibly exist, as well as sasquatch in really inaccessible areas where they can be left alone in peace.

I've just watched Troll on Netflix and I honestly enjoyed it 😀 I have Troll Hunter on DVD was was a brilliant film 😀

I agree with your theory that troll is probably the troll child I think the troll king would be way bigger if he spent a thousand years in a cave and as such the child would be the one we see in the film

Oh, hopefully will get a troll Hunter 2

@@deanvejnovic8188 My main theory is that Thor, norse god of Thunder, killed all Trolls, because that's a certified thor thing to do

With the movie, I hope they develop a sequel

Imagine if the trolls embraced technology, that one troll going against its nature to save his people from the growing hatred of humans. Observing, experimenting and practicing the art of science and coming up with ways to allow his fellow trolls to survive in direct sunlight. All the while perfecting the art of smelting and smithing, developing arms and armor to protect against human weapons. They wouldn't need anything too sophisticated, but it would do them well to prepare for the inevitable. With proper coordination, the trolls' size and vastly superior firepower would overwhelm any human army, and they had thousands of years to prepare. I'd watch that.

Great video and breakdown and I do like the sweeping emergence and acceptance of Christian through both peaceful and violent means is used to explain why the trolls in the film died out to legend or disappeared. We see similar things in many other pegan religions and even in their stories. For instance in Beowulf as he fights Gendal's Mother his own Viking blade is easily destroyed by her only for Beowulf to pick up another blade that is as some historians interpret as being made of Roman origin hence Christian steal is stronger than Viking steal. I just thought the similarities were cool.

Thank you so much for posting this wonderful video! I've watched the movie a few times already once by myself as well as watching it with my family this past Halloween. I do have one question for you ..should there be a sequel to this movie as you mentioned a possible Norwegian Kaju much larger than the one in this movie popping up somewhere else wouldn't it be interesting for it to go up against another Kaiju whom I'm certain everyone knows where I'm going with this . the second question I pose is who's older the other troll OR big G

,,In the hall of the mountain king " fits well to this movie

I really liked this movie, the storyline was cool and intresting and I totally would love a sequel. That and the song that played during the end credits

I liked it more than Trollhunter. It was less realistic, but a better movie. I watched it in the dubbed version and I still enjoyed it more. I'm guessing the original is even better.

this is making me want a movie about the world serpent Jörmungandr

it was great I hope for a sequel

I loved trollhunter movie also

I watched it with my family and enjoyed it pretty good. I’m just curious since I’m Norwegian so I of course saw it on it’s original language , so I’m who outside of Norway watched it on original language and instead of their own language dub?

Given that it's got a lot of basis on mythology, I kind of wish they'd recognize one particular aspect: the trolls' hatred of Christianity was kind of an accidental thing that was then expanded upon much later. As I understand it, "Christian" for some time was used interchangeably with "human". As such, trolls in the old folktales weren't actually saying "I smell the blood of someone who goes to Church regularly", but rather "I smell a human". Later on, this use of "Christian" to mean "human" fell out of practice, and people reading and adapting their ancestors' tales decided they were literally smelling Christianity and then ran with it.

Swede: We only learnt about trolls that lives in the forest. Probably because we don't have much of mountains here like Norway. Scary enough.

Thx for telling the truth

Also I loved it

The only thing I don't like about the troll in this movie is that he is to ripped. The trolls in the kittelsen drawings was more fat. But this is only nitpicking. I love that we get to se more Norwegian trolls. Im Norwegian bye the way.

The idea was good, but the movie not, especially the ending. She feels bad so she stops the torture and begs it to run away. Sun comes out and kills it. Then her along with everybody else are super happy. Made no sense. If there's a planned sequel then a better screenwriter and director are needed.

Trolls are a misrepresentation of the sasquash A very territorial species, showing hostility at first, but if your heart is pure and brave enough , they take a fondness in us and turn to be very fun beings, also protective creatures
