Comment on Challenging Destiny

NickelWick on Chapter 1 Tue 24 Jan 2023 01:53PM UTC

Finally, now that I have more time this semester, I can get to your fic! AND HOLY COW THAT'S A GOOD START ASDFASFAFAA
I really like how you acknowledged that yeah, Jim was super reckless and kinda dumb in the movie, but at least he knows it this time. I also like the little hints that people remember him--especially in the eyes. It's small but a nice touch!! And the way you handled the amulet *chef's kiss* perfection. I don't mind Jim giving Toby the amulet now, because he thinks Toby should recognized as a hero. Butttt being the Trollhunter is HIS destiny too. He can't just abandon it. I love that! I'm very excited to see how this fix-it unfolds :D

  OH MY GOD I'M SO HAPPY YOU'VE STARTED READING! Perfect timing too, since I'm aiming to update again in like a few days and you have plenty to read, brace yourself for a wild ride...
  I wanted to really stick true to the movie, as much as it pains me to admit, but everything after the ending is honestly free space while sticking true to the SERIES.
  I actually noticed in the movie itself the animators did have Strickler and Claire's facial expressions hint at possible rememberance. I'm fairly sure it wasn't my imagination since I watched it twice. And I also thought Jim handing the amulet to Toby wasn't as impulsive as it seemed, not like Jim can get out of it that easy though.

    YAYAY I'LL HAVE AN UPDATE SOON I LOVE IT--though I'm nervous by what you mean a wild ride ahhhh
    And gosh, you're stronger than me when it comes to the movie. I despised the time-travelling so so much, but I like what you're doing with it!! Especially since you're going to follow the show, which was honestly the best of Tales of Arcadia. And interesting, I never noticed that animation of recognition! But then again, I only watched the movie once because it made me too mad soooo you're probably right on this one lol.
