Okay, let's talk Trolls. We've had the glitter, the songs, and the questionable fashion choices. Twice. But is that enough? Is there a Trolls 3 looming on the horizon?
The Burning Question: Another Adventure?
The big question, right? Will Poppy and Branch grace our screens again? Will there be more catchy tunes stuck in our heads for weeks? Maybe. Probably.
Hollywood loves a good franchise. And Trolls definitely prints money. So, logically, a third movie makes sense.
Evidence Pointing Towards Rainbows
First, the box office. The first two Trolls movies did pretty well. Kids loved them. Parents tolerated them. That’s a win, right?
Plus, think of the merchandise! The toys! The clothes! The…everything. A Trolls 3 means more licensing opportunities. Cha-ching!
And let’s be honest, the world needs more glitter. Okay, maybe not needs, but appreciates. A little sparkle never hurt anyone.
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)
Here it comes. Deep breath. I…don't really want a Trolls 3.
Gasp! I know, I know. Sacrilege! But hear me out. Two movies felt…sufficient. Like, we get it. Trolls are happy. They sing. They hug.
Can't we just leave it there? Are we pushing it?
Honestly, after the first movie, I was a bit trolled by the second. I mean, it was alright but nothing original.
The Creative Well: Is It Dry?
The biggest worry? Running out of ideas. How many times can they sing and dance their way out of trouble? It feels repetitive after a while.
Think of the sequels that went wrong! The ones that nobody asked for! I'm not naming names, but we all know them. I am afraid Trolls 3 could go the same way.
New characters? Sure, but at what cost? More weird creatures? More overly-peppy songs? I don't know if my ears can handle it.
What Could Make Me Change My Mind?
Okay, okay, I'm not completely heartless. There's one scenario where I'd be on board. If they went dark.
Imagine a gritty Trolls reboot. Think The Dark Knight, but with tiny, colorful creatures. I am kidding! Kinda...
The characters could have a deeper story line. Perhaps the trolls go through a dark episode. Or maybe Poppy turns evil. Just spitballing here!
Or maybe, just maybe, a really, really good soundtrack. Like, Oscar-worthy good. That might sway me. I am a sucker for a good music.
The Verdict (For Now)
So, will there be a Trolls 3? Probably. Should there be a Trolls 3? That's the real question. For me, the jury’s still out.
I will be seated and watch patiently.
But honestly, I kinda hope they leave the Trolls in peace. Let them enjoy their glitter and hugs in animated bliss. Maybe sometimes, less is more?
