Honestly yeah this could be considered yet more angst for poor Branch in a way.
seeing as how Bruce not only walked out and never come back but also completely moved on not giving his old family a second thought honestly makes him a Jerk imo like I'm sorry but this guy legit is selfish.
he had beef with one Bro took it out on the whole family and left and never looked back while starting a new family ( which I'm surprised he hasn't also abandoned as well given how quickly he was willing to ditch his family again in present day after one argument )
like yeah I gotta think seeing him with his children and wife stung for Branch I mean I think it also stung for JD to an extent but Bruce obviously wouldn't care about his feelings on the matter given he's the reason he left.
but hopefully he would give a Dam about Branch's feelings if he ever expressed them in the future like telling him he did find it upsetting seeing him having basically just moved on and forgotten about him completely while he spent all those years waiting for his Brothers to come back.
never forgetting about them.
how much do you think it hurt Branch to see Bruce move on to a new family. like seeing him play with his children and being a good family member, but knowing that he apparently was never worth the time, he wasn’t worth staying for or changing for.

Honestly this scene is so Heart-breaking and while the Broppy side of it is sweet would it have been so much to ask to at least have Bro zone witness this from the side-lines? I just wish they'd actually fully witnessed how much an impact they had on Branch to the point where even as an adult he questions the person closest to him if she's going to leave him like they did 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 as it still sorta feels like they didn't really grasp the full effect their abandonment and them never returning had on him.
@incurable-bookkl3pt0
plus him saying he didn't need them growing up is sad AF dude literally needed them so bad after Grandma died.
the fact that Bro zone aren't the ones to approach him after this scene is what kills the film for me.
they needed to be the ones to actually make an effort and approach him saying sorry and asking for one more chance either during the climax of the film or afterwards.
Rather than just automatically being given another chance off screen after Floyd is saved.
I kinda Hope at the start of the next special or tv show Branch is back to being somewhat indifferent towards his Brothers.
like not angry again but maybe he just sorta assumed that everything that happened at the end of the last film was due to Heightened emotions because of Floyd nearly dying.
but now that the Honeymoon period is over he just assumed that things would go back to how they were and his Brothers would go their separate ways again so he's kinda just accepted it.
and maybe Poppy points this out to his Bros who were of course oblivious to what he thought and this gives them the chance to actually be the ones to go to him.
and tell him that they do want to stick around in each other's lives for good this time and they properly ask him for another chance
( bonus points if they admit they probably don't deserve it given how they acted before )
and maybe they do actually promise that if he does give them one more chance they won't waste it and let him down again.
IDK I'd just like it if it was made clear that the Bros do Realise their on their last chance with him after everything ya know?
plus I just really want to see them actually be the ones to make an effort and approach him and ask for another chance since the third movie skipped over that part.
but like I said it could still make sense if we have Branch go back to thinking his Brothers being back is just a temporary thing due to saving Floyd and the emotions around that.
so the Bros still need to make the effort to reassure him that their serous about sticking around this time if he'll let them.

in an alternative universe where Chef didn't make that last ditch attempt to kill Poppy and Branch during the climax and instead accepted the new way of Happiness for the Bergens do you think the Trolls would have forgiven her and let her off the Hook?
despite her many crimes against their species which yes technically weren't recognised as crimes by Bergen law at the time.
but that wouldn't really be much consolation to her victims families would it I mean she literally wrote the Book on killing Trolls.
her kill count is probably in the dozens at least. Branch's Grandma included.
like do you really think they'd have been able to let her off the Hook? Gristle couldn't exactly punish her legally because then where does the buck stop? would he also have to punish all of her bakers? would he also have to punish the entire population who were over the age of 20 years and thus ate Trolls in the past? obviously he couldn't do such drastic things without public uproar hell he'd probably be tossed off the throne if he did given they'd probably make up the majority of the population.
but also despite the Trolls way too forgiving nature I doubt they'd be able to forgive a literal mass murderer I mean especially not Branch if he did know she was the one who killed his Grandmother. like it'd make for a pretty awkward situation to say the least 😅😅😅😅😅😅

that's fair its true the idea is not really based on all that much ( I mean Kismet only have like 2 minutes of screen time at the very end of the film so there isn't a lot to go on as a whole )
I think a lot of us in the fandom just took to the idea quickly because well 1. who doesn't love a found family story its a Hella adorable Trope. and 2. its just a very depressing part of Branch's backstory to imagine him simply remaining stagnant in his life for all of the 20 years never really moving on from the family that moved on from him pretty easily. and 3. we just find B Zone Hella lacking in the family department like leaving aside the decades of abandonment they don't really act great outside of that. Branch is never really a priority to any of them even when he's clearly upset for valid reasons due to their own actions they don't respect basic boundaries and they just ain't at all supportive like families should be. so fans just have a natural desire to make this shit less depressing I guess 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Honestly part of me is wondering about starting a little petition for DreamWorks to Bring Kismet back in the future literally just to throw shade on Bro zone 😂😂even if its just for a Brief little scene it'd feel so Cathartic and also be pretty Hilarious seeing the Brothers as well as Branch himself maybe just try to awkwardly laugh it off like it's a Joke even tho it clearly isn't tbh I could happily watch a whole movie of just pettiness between the two boy bands. plus we gotta get confirmation on Branch's Relationship with his other Band be it found family or just close friendship either one works for me I just need it confirmed 😭😭.

I've said it before, and I'll say again and keep saying it until the fandom finally acknowledges this glaring plot hole. If Poppy didn't remember Viva, Branch shouldn't have remembered BroZone. he was a baby. It was said over and over again that he was a baby. I don't care if Poppy was implied to be younger than Branch was when their respective siblings disappeared, THEY WERE BOTH BABIES!!!
And I've seen the whole "we they're trolls and they work differently, just look at Tiny Diamond" argument, and I'll tell you why this doesn't have much merit. TD is a Glitter Troll, and it seems that Glitter Trolls have different biologies and customs than your average Pop Troll. Tiny came out of his egg singing and dancing, with full comprehension of the world around him. Branch in the flashback acted like a naive little kid/a literal baby, and Poppy also acted like an infant when they were shown as babies. And as you can tell, neither are Glitter Trolls. So I firmly believe that Branch could not have possibly remembered BZ as he did in the movies, and they would either be a blur or completely forgotten. The only way he could have possibly remembered is if he had a photographic memory of some kind, because otherwise, it would make no sense for him to remember BZ. Honestly, it was kind of cruel od DreamWorks to have Branch remember losing his brothers and have Poppy not remember losing her sister, and really shows how much they love to traumatize and bully Branch.
What are your thoughts on this?
I feel it is meant to be as simple as Branch being an older baby due to just overall being Bigger than Poppy was and capable of slightly more cohesive speech.
not to mention his adorable Big Head 😭😭😭😭 and like you said Tiny I think is meant to be an exception either due to being a glitter Troll or just due to being a Rare instance of a Baby coming out the Egg already capable of talking and walking and even driving.
like I agree it is somewhat cruel by the writers having Branch Remember his Brothers while Poppy forgot about Viva and got to live in Blissful ignorance for all these years.
if anything her remembering her sister and like her dad thinking she'd died in the escape could have maybe been a neat little bit of background for Poppy's character imo.
what I mean is if beneath her overly posotive demeanour she'd actually had a bit of past damage herself that she preferred to forget actually giving her and Branch something more to relate over.
Hell if this had been the case it'd actually make her earlier attitude towards Branch's negative feelings towards his Brothers more understandable and forgivable.
since she'd have for all she'd known lost a sibling forever hence why she'd be convinced that there wasn't a problem too big that Branch couldn't fix with his brothers to have another chance with them.
that'd make her reasons more understandable imo than simply her being suddenly insecure over growing up a happy single child with a supportive parent.
and thus blatantly ignoring justified grievances from Branch even tho before the wedding she was the one trying to get him to open up to her about his negative feelings of upset.
but hey that's the writers for you they can be cruel when it comes to Branch here's Hoping they don't add anything else to his backstory in the future.
like maybe his parents died on his Birthday when he was a baby or maybe after his Grandma died he was placed in a Troll foster home and was abused their for years before finally going off on his own to build his Bunker.
I swear its a good thing these films are meant for kids otherwise who knows what sort of messed up stuff they'd write into his backstory next 😅😅😅😅 they gotta give that Angst to someone else next like Bro zone or Poppy or maybe even Bridget or Gristle just anyone who isn't Branch.

what sorta story do you want to see in the next Christmas Special? assuming there is one.
so this is kinda a combo of both what you'd like to see but also what you think is a more likely option so no Kismet and Bro zone at war with each other stories as fun as those are cause we kinda know they won't be happening at least not in a Christmas Special. anyway I do think it is fairly likely and would make for a nice little story maybe just Branch over stressing himself trying to make sure his first Christmas with his Brothers back is "" Perfect "".
but of course despite his over planning family Drama strikes maybe JD and Bruce get a bit petty and competitive over the family board games.
Clay keeps rearranging things in certain ways that he's used to organising things and Poppy and Viva keep getting crazy ideas for other fun stuff they could all do that don't mesh with Branch's planned out day. anyway in the end things all end up a mess due to the family chaos and Branch maybe loses his Rag a little with everyone. stating that he used to dream when he was a kid about having these big family special occasions and he just wanted a normal family Christmas for once given how many he spent without any of his family in his life.
only for him to go off somewhat upset but I feel his Brothers would go after him and apologise for the day not panning out like he wanted but also kinda light-heartedly point out that this is how these things usually go. back when their family was together their special occasions were always crazy and disorganised as hell and also Bruce would probably point out its the same every year with his other family. to steal a quote from one of my favourite episodes of Brooklyn nine nine where Jake and Amy's parents meet and chaos ensues I like to imagine Bruce's pep talk to Branch being somewhat similar.
Bruce= "" Hey Branch you know how you said you always wanted to have a big family Christmas? well I have a wife 13 children two parent in laws 4 Brother in laws 3 sister in laws and overall 16 nieces and nephews by marriage who spend every Holiday together I had the kind of family that you always dreamt of "" awkward silence. Branch= "" oh are you done? that seems like a really mean place to stop talking but you seem to be taking quite a long pause "" Bruce= "" when we were all together it was a Huge mess I can't tell you how many special occasions I've spent in the Hospital but that's part of what it means to have a big family like this one ""
I could maybe imagine something along these lines for some good old emotional Trolls cheese.
also FR tho I Hope it gets acknowledged in the next Holiday special how big something like this would probably be for Branch.
given so far since the first film he's had one Christmas that he spent with Poppy that being Holiday in Harmony ( don't forgot the first Holiday special doesn't actually take place at Christmas )
but before that he presumably spent every special occasion doing his own thing in the Bunker alone which is sad AF when you think about it especially when he was a kid 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
so the next specials gotta acknowledge how different this would be for him finally spending Christmas with a family in his life again when it hasn't been that way for him since he was a friggin baby.
like Daaaam if that don't make his Bros feel bad about themselves then I don't know what will.

exactly mr obelix honestly yeah that really Buggs me as well especially since I already feel Branch was being sorta Generous giving them a second chance as easily as he did in the film.
so to have them split again through no fault of his own and once again he be the only party who wasn't a part of the choice just makes the overall story so much more frustrating in my opinion.
like you said it'd at least be one thing if he was more involved in the argument and the second breakup.
like maybe along with JD Branch could have also been kinda pushy trying to force Clay and Bruce back into their old Roles tho with Branch maybe it'd more be a case of him just wanting to force the whole family into being exactly how they used to be. which would be understandable in a way but obviously not Right and thus he kinda has more of a Role in the reasons for the second break up.
and he maybe gets a bit more openly angry over them not wanting things to return to how they were seeing it as some sorta second betrayal by them.
even tho at that point in the film Clay and Bruce did still want them to be a family they just didn't want things to return to how they used to be.
or IDK just something like that ya know? so Branch actually had a bit more agency in the family Drama and wasn't literally the only blameless victim in the whole situation both times.
and still the one who had to do all the work to convince the family to actually try in the end even tho they were the ones who needed to make the bloody effort given they were the problems.
(in the Funk branch universe)
Random Troll: Branch,who are your Brothers?
F! Branch: My biological or real brothers?
Brozone: (EMOTIONAL DAMAGE)
OUCH... yeah.
Though I see Funk Branch as having a bit of the Funk Fam's way with conflict.
'Who are your brothers?' 'Prince D and Cooper of course.'
Cue BroZone emotional damage.

what are some episode ideas your hoping to see in the next tv show? assuming we do get one.
a few of mine would be.
an episode where JD and Bruce are shown still Butting heads with each other loads in present day annoying the other Bros a lot. and maybe during a Hike out in the woods or something something happens which results in JD and Bruce getting cut off from the others and being lost. leaving them stuck together in the middle of nowhere bickering over the right ways to do things with JD using all his survival skills he picked up but Bruce at first stubbornly refusing to go along with what he says given he doesn't want to admit that following JDs lead might for once be the most logical thing to do in a situation. anyway the episode could lead to them opening up to each other a bit more about their lives after the breakup. Bruce could tell JD about the effect he had on his self confidence and how difficult it actually was for him to learn to relax and not stress over every little thing he did after having him micro manage him for years. and JD could tell him more about his time he spent away from society in the 20+ years basically having no one but Rhonda for company maybe in part because he was too afraid of getting close with people and then ruining things with them like he did with their family. it'd just be good to have a little episode focused on their Rocky dynamic imo.
an episode where Branch is ill and his Brothers try to take care of him. a few other people have had this idea and someone even did a cute fanfic involving Both Kismet and Bro zone fighting over the best way to take care of Branch. but yeah I think the idea simply involving Bro zone coming around one day to find Branch so ill he hasn't left his Bunker and while he acts like its no big deal his Brothers insist on staying with him to look after him. somewhat confusing Branch but he agrees to it since he's too tired to argue with them and over the course of the episode they all lightly bicker and disagree on the right way to take care of him. while also annoying Branch with how much they mess around in his Bunker maybe not putting things back in their right places. I like to imagine this all culminates in Branch getting annoyed with them all and questioning them on what their even doing there and why they're all being so weird. kinda surprising the Brothers as they say looking after someone in the family when their sick is just normal to them. and I like the sad angsty idea of Branch not realising this and being confused by his Brothers behaviour throughout the episode since he's always just dealt with this stuff on his own in the past. kinda making his Brothers a little somber when they Realise this like they knew he'd always been independent but not to this extreme extent that he literally didn't have help even when he needed it.
this isn't really so much an entire episode idea as it just a single plot point I could imagine happening early on. that being at the start of the show Bruce is obviously only just staying in Pop Village for a short night or Two given he has to get back to Vacay. but as a plot point and an easy way to keep all the Brothers in one place for the first season I'd have something happen towards the end of the episode that makes Bruce change his mind and decide to stay in pop village a bit longer after talking it through with Brandi and making sure she'd be fine to cover while he's away. maybe something happens that makes him see things are still pretty complicated between all the brothers and he decides he should stick around a little longer until their in a more stable place.
an episode where same as the popular fan idea Floyd is shown to be claustrophobic and panics after coming out of a small space still having issues from his captivity tho he tries to hide it from other people. but it could be a nice chance for Branch to recognise what's going on with his Brother and try to talk to him about it. tho maybe after some poking and prodding Floyd ends up saying something along the lines of him suddenly having flashbacks or something. feeling like he's right back in that moment feeling helpless and like there's nothing he can do in the face of these towering giants tho Floyd thinks Branch might not understand. and this could be when he tells him exactly how their Grandma died and how helpless he felt witnessing the whole thing as a kid and how he still sometimes is reminded of that day just by ordinary everyday little things. it'd be a kinda cute bonding moment I think.
I've said before I can easily imagine an episode just focusing on Bruce and Branch as well given their vastly opposing personalities. since Bruce tries to be laid back and carefree and of course Branch is so high strung and particular especially tv show Branch. plus Bruce is probably the most Traditionally "" Normal "" out of the Brothers so I could imagine him having problems with crazier Tv Show Branch. like imagine him going over to Vacay to spend more time with Bruce and his kids only for Bruce to be weirded out to see Branch playing a game with the kids involving them having to run around lots tiring themselves out. all so Branch can at the end collect their sweat in his Jars to restock his supply in his Bunker. and when Bruce questions him on what the hell he's doing he says that his kids larger size means their sweat fills up his stocks much much quicker and easier. making it more efficient to use their sweat than his own 😂😂😂😂 and tv show Branch just continues to do stuff like this unnerving and annoying Bruce more and more to the point he eventually asks him to leave using the excuse that he's making their customers uncomfortable. and I like to think later on when talking to Brandi she'd kinda chew him out a little over it pointing out they were seen as weird at first simply for being together. I'm not really sure exactly how this episode would end but I like to think Bruce would see that he kinda just wanted Branch to fit a certain more normal idea he had of his brother. making him realise he's somewhat acting like JD used to. anyway those were a few general ideas I had for episodes I'd like to see if we do get a third show what about you what sorta episode stories would you like to see?

in Defence of Creek ( warning if your an Avid Creek Hater you may not want to read this 😂😂 )
youtube
ps. Branch will Hair strangle some guy he Barely knew who he didn't even care about for betraying them but doesn't do the same to his Jerkass Brothers who let him down his whole life 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.
anyway onto the topic at hand 😂😂😂😂
Creek gets an unfair Rap in my opinion sure he technically betrayed the village but when you examine the story of the first film he literally had no other choice.
as there's no other scenario that didn't end with him being Horribly Eaten as soon as he was picked by Chef for Gristle Jr to eat and taken out of the cage his fate was sealed.
unlike the rest of the snack pack he didn't have the option of sitting around waiting on the off chance Poppy would Rescue them.
we see in the Betrayal scene he was literally in Gristle's mouth before he finally played the only card he could and said he'd do what ever they wanted him to do.
and from then on he was kept in Gristle's locket around his neck which I have to say was Horrible poor guy was stuffed in their with no space or light or even air given how tight it was.
and he was kept there until eventually being moved out of the locket and put into Chef's waist bag just before the snack pack got the Locket from Gristle and were then captured by Chef.
and from that point like Creek himself said there was literally nothing else he could do that wouldn't result in him being killed straight away by Chef.
this is what rubs me the wrong way about the movie trying to make him into a villain he has no real agency in the betrayal it'd be a little easier for me to Judge him.
if he was kept in the cage with the Rest of the Snack Pack so he had the option of just having faith in Poppy someone he claimed to care about.
coming to save them but instead he took the more cowardly action and offered to sell everyone out early on in order to save himself then I feel it'd work a little better.
but having him be plucked from the cage early on and literally only betray everyone when he was on the verge of being eaten just makes him a victim in my eyes.
like I'm sorry but he can't be blamed too much for anything he does at that point he's just a normal civilian who's life was put in danger by negligent leaders ( cough Peppy cough ).
he technically wasn't obligated to die then and there and the whole situation with him selling out the Village is a classic Trolley Problem sure its easy to Judge.
from the outside but when we're on the verge of being gruesomely murdered who's to say what each of us would do in the moment to stay alive.
basically its Chef's actions and she's the one to blame not Creek dude was a literal Hostage who had been kidnaped Humiliated by being shoved in a taco and sprinkled with spicy stuff.
and then nearly eaten and then crammed into a tiny locket for presumably Hours and then crammed into a waist bag like how is this guy not the victim here?
and some people do like to point to how he behaved about the whole thing telling Poppy he's doing it for her but I'm sorry that doesn't change anything in my eyes.
sure its an unusual reaction but its also an unusual situation and I see it more as him weakly attempting to justify it to himself since he does admit he wishes there was another way but is promptly reminded by Chef that there isn't.
his Reaction isn't Great but it doesn't change the situation and make him some pure evil person.
a little autistic maybe? given the weird response to an emotional situation he has but yeah it doesn't make him worse in my eyes.
basically to end things the film as well as the fandom that villainise him seem to basically be saying that he should have just laid down and accepted his gruesome fate the first time.
and the movie even ends on a cruel irony of still being eaten along with Chef.
which for Chef is ironic in a karmic way but for Creek its just kinda sad tbh so the film's saying his death was decided at the start and he's a villain for not accepting it the first time.
and as punishment he meets the same fate in the end anyway.
I thought this was a Trolls film not a Final Destination film lol.
anyway even tho its separate cannon I was Happy when he was Revealed to still be alive in TBGO sure I feel his Return could have been written way better.
but Regardless I'm Glad he's still alive he didn't deserve to die and also the movie cannon never contradicts the tv show cannon in Terms of Creek's survival.
so yeah he could very well still be alive in the movies as well sorry Haters 😅😅😅😅.

mate stop it I love your ideas so much 😭😭😭😭
I'd only really thought about the idea of Branch feeling out of place in the family but I actually quite like your second idea of him just kinda accepting it.
and basically acting in a more formal less personal way to Bro zone like I'd love to see the Bros reactions to realising Branch is still distant with them and they didn't even notice.
because they just never think about things from each other's perspectives their all so caught up in their own feelings of content and Happiness.
anyway I like to think the conclusion would just be Bro zone accepting that they can't Rush these kinda things with someone maybe he will one day feel more closer to them or maybe he won't but either way they can't really force the connection all they can do is just stay consistent in his life from here on out.
tho with the first option of the more angsty Branch variety I'd like to think after Branch's uneasiness is pointed out to B Zone.
they'd confront him and he'd tell them about his feelings of feeling out of place in the family and like he doesn't belong due to not having the same connection they all do.
and I like to think they'd basically say that its BS and point out he's just as much an important part of the family as anyone else.
reminding him that if it wasn't for him they wouldn't have been able to achieve the Harmony and they never would have saved Floyd and they definitely never would have come back together as a family.
if it wasn't for him basically just giving Branch a small confidence boost and saying their sorry for missing that part of his life ( end of the day it was literally their faults )
but those years they shared in the past don't matter to them as much as the present does.
which they'll all share together or ya know some cheesy heartfelt crap like that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
god I'd love for this to at least be a minor issue Branch has in the future as it has some cute potential for Bro zone to actually work to make Branch feel more like he belongs.
Branch's brothers are essentially strangers to him and I WISH that fact got acknowledged more frfr
I mean cmon they got to form next to no memories with him before they left he was a baby! How many memories of your life do u have as a baby???
On the flip side they also know next to nothing about him beyond the baby era.. they have plenty of memories of eachother cuz they had been growing up together YEARS before Branch was born so they have that bond with eachother(no matter how messed up or broken) that they just don't have with Branch and I think that's super sad frfr
It's no wonder they treated him like a baby In the movie. Beyond being the youngest brother they literally have nothing else to know him by besides being "the baby" so of course they are gonna latch on to that familiar aspect of him cuz beyond that there's literally nothing for them to familiarize him by
I know Branch be feeling like like the odd one out many times after they all reuinted due to having next to no memories of them meanwhile they all sharing all these memories of eachother and having that level of relation they just don't have with him
It's a sad reality and I really wish it was more acknowledged

FR tho why was Clay the only one to apologise?
like it was a very half arsed apology to be honest it almost sounded insincere given how quickly they rushed through it to get to the Book Club Joke.
but hey it was better than nothing I guess but come on really if any of the Bros were gonna apologise it really should have been literally anyone but Clay tbh.
like JD because he still in some ways was the cause of the breakup not to mention his behaviour in the Argument scene or Floyd due to him promising to come back but never doing so.
or Bruce for again being a Jerk in the argument scene and not taking Branch's feelings seriously.
no offence to Clay but he's actually very passive in the story and really was the least meaningful choice in terms of who to hand out the apology tbh.

also the Dynamic of being literally the only one out of 5 siblings who didn't Grow up with the others is pretty heart-breaking to think about.
like even Floyd was still a young teen at the time so he spent his younger years with the others.
but being literally the only one in the family to not have that past connection Honestly sounds like something you'd never stop being insecure about.
as there's so much the other Bros would have with each other that you'd simply never have.
no matter how much time you spent together in present day to make up for things.
you'd always be the odd one out who wasn't there for all those experiences that the other Bros had together and fondly remember and even the stuff they remember less fondly.
it takes both to really make someone family but Branch wouldn't have either with his Bros due to how young he was.
and in the long run in that future that kinda distance isn't going to just be fixed its either likely gonna lead to him feeling out of place due to not having this relationship that all the other bros have with each other.
or at worst could lead to resentment given he's basically permanently left out of the family for something that's entirely his Brother's fault.
this stuff gets more heart-breaking the more and more I think about it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I Don't think DreamWorks Realise how much extra sadness the age gap adds to Branch's Dynamic with his Brothers.
Branch's brothers are essentially strangers to him and I WISH that fact got acknowledged more frfr

this is the kinda stuff my brain thinks up when I was laying in bed last night safe to say you are the Yin to my Yang mate 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tumblr media
in your personal opinion do you think Bro Zone Deserved another chance in the end? ( I swear I will start posting some other stuff soon that isn't just Bro zone bashing as I do want to have a bit of Variety in my content but for now lets keep talking Bro zone 😂😂😂😂 )
personally the argument scene makes it a no for me Branch giving them a second chance is understandable but giving them a third chance after they threw it back in his face.
and mocked and belittled him for having perfectly valid feelings is where I feel they crossed a line of no return.
sorta makes it sadly ironic when Branch sings the lines "" I'm already up but you lift me Higher "" in Better Place when his Bros have literally done nothing but the opposite in the film prior to this scene.
at that point they deserved to be cut off frankly even if they did apologise and beg for forgiveness which they didn't all they did was agree to let Branch Bail them out of trouble.
its just toxic and isn't really something you should forgive over and over again otherwise it will just keep happening its how people in the real world get stuck in emotionally abusive relationships.
or why children never speak out about their abusive families because its been drilled into them that this behaviour is normal and acceptable.
not that this is exactly the same but its a fair comparison imo.
anyway I have some other stuff lined up for the near future that isn't Bro zone Related so I promise there will be some variety on this Blog pretty soon it won't all just be Bro zone lol 😂😂😂😂

Okay, this has honestly been in the back of my mind for years now, but I feel like I must ask. Did anyone else feel an immense feeling of anger/discomfort when Poppy brought the entire village into Branch's bunker? Because I did. When I first saw it, I felt uncomfortable. And to this day, I get the ick thinking about it. Like, I get why she did it, and I understand that it was the safest thing to do for the village, but like... I can't explain just how upsetting it was to me. Branch is a better person than I am, because if it were me, just... no. And she didn't even ask properly! And then had the audacity to say it was a solid burn returned like??? No? No it wasn't? That was a home invasion, not a snipe back at him, what? In what world is his comment on her life skills even remotely on the same level as her just letting the ENTIRE VILLAGE in his house? And they weren't even good houseguests either! They IMMEDIATELY started messing with his stuff, like, have these trolls never heard of proper guest etiquette? Look, I love Poppy, but she can seriously get on my nerves a lot. Especially since the movies made it so that in the end, she doesn't really learn much because her screw ups have a way of completely disappearing with little to no consequences.
To add to this, anyone else feel like when rewatching the first Trolls movie, that Branch was in the right, and that he was done so dirty by so many? Like, the ukulele scene. As a kid, I did think Branch was being rude, but now? Those 2 were literally out in the woods, with who knows what out there. Poppy literally got her friends kidnapped by a BERGEN literally the DAY BEFORE, and she's going back to singing loudly? Like, Poppy, babe, are you TRYING to die? Her whole song just shows how much plot armor Poppy has because, seriously? Not to mention, trolls are tiny, so her singing could genuinely put a target on them. I feel like the only reason Branch didn't up and say this is because it probably should be common knowledge, but apparently, pop trolls don't really have much common sense. I really wish they had Branch explain it though, because as a kid, I thought him to be a killjoy and unnecessarily bossy. But now? Yeah, I can see why singing in the forest when you're tiny might not be the best idea. Makes me wonder just how the pop trolls survived all this time?
I love Poppy, I really do. She's fun, nice, and is a complex protagonist (who is awesome and not a Mary Sue, though the same can't be said for TBGO/Trollstopia Poppy) whose character development is very visible. However, the writers really focus more on Branch's character development than hers and focus more on finding new ways to traumatize him than finding ways to make Poppy more mature, and that's what really bugs me about Poppy's character.
I really wanna start a petition for DreamWorks to lay off Branch for once and give Poppy more attention. I'm not asking to all out traumatize her (though the idea of DreamWorks giving her the Branch Treatment is funny in the mean way) but it would be nice if they gave her another journey where she has to learn and grow, and for there to be consequences that aren't easily waved away by a song and dance. TWT did a decent job at it (it could have been better, but it was a start), and I really need DreamWorks to do something like that (but better, obviously) again.
That being said, I do like how they handled Broppy. They went from rival/strangers to friends to lovers. It didn't happen instantly, and the progression of the relationship didn't feel rushed or forced. They both have an equal standing in the relationship and are supportive of each other. It's cute, and I'm glad DreamWorks at least got that right.
This should have probably been separate asks, but oh well. YOLO or whatever. I just really wanna know your thoughts.
I'm mostly of the same mind it angers me but I get why she did it I feel at the very least she should have told everyone to behave themselves and not act like they were teenagers throwing a house party while their parents were away for the night.
some people have said that maybe she did in on purpose to pressure Branch into going with her but I prefer to think that wasn't the case because in my opinion that would be straight up villainous.
a Royal abusing their power to put pressure on a civilian to Risk their life to rescue a group of your friends who are in danger due to your incompetent leadership.
not to mention a civilian who she knows is more terrified of the Bergens than anyone else in the village.
yeah that would make her an out and out villain imo so I prefer to think that wasn't her intention.
I don't feel its so bad it needs to be changed in the story overall but I would have liked it had Branch actually called her out on it.
basically just have him angrily point out to her after she acts like it wasn't a big deal because it was just a bunch of old Junk. that it wasn't just a place to him it was his home and that wasn't just a load of old Junk it was stuff he worked hard for years to make and it made him feel safer it was the only place he actually felt safe and like he could relax.
maybe prompting Poppy to actually give a more genuine apology as before she just thought of his home as him being over the top for the sake of it.
since she and the village just viewed him as a Drama queen and she didn't really realise his fears were actually so genuine that the Bunker actually mattered to him that deeply.
part of me thinks the intent by the writers was for her consequences in the first film to be being betrayed by Creek who she cared about but yeah that whole thing could have been handled better.
her and her dads leadership put him in danger and he literally said what he had to say in order to avoid being eaten alive he didn't really have any agency in the betrayal.
so Poppy's somber pleas for him to not go through with it kinda make me mad tbh like this whole situation is your fault yet my guy Creek is expected to die because of it.
so your incompetent dad can live? yeah no.
also if you made that Petition for Branch I'd totally sign it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
and I agree Poppy deserves some more focus and development tho a touch of angst for her I think could maybe be a good thing in making her character stronger.
like I've said before maybe having Peppy die in a future film and her at first trying to ignore her grief by focusing on her queen duties and slapping on her usual smile worrying both Branch and Viva.
or having her mother turn up in the future like some fans have suggested only for her to be a selfish villain who couldn't care less about Poppy and Viva.
and this is the proper shock to Poppy's "" family is always great "" mentality as even with Bro zone they worked things out in the end making her think no family could be entirely broken.
but her mother literally doesn't give a shit if her children live or die and she maybe abandoned them both when Poppy was a baby.
drawing a little contrast with Branch only for the mother to have zero remorse since she didn't want children and maybe she was only with Peppy for status as royalty.
and Bro zone could be shown as being more remorseful over the past even a while after the events of TBT which contrasts with Poppy's mom kinda nicely.
anyway I'm getting off topic a bit lol but yeah I agree Poppy needs more focus and Branch's needs to be picked on less by the writers.
but I feel a touch of angst directed Poppy's way could give her some good development and make her a stronger character overall.
edit. also as someone who doesn't like Hugs Poppy's smug stunt with the Hug time Bracelets does make me a little mad like tell the Trolls to Respect people's Boundaries Girl.

in your personal opinion do you think Bro Zone Deserved another chance in the end? ( I swear I will start posting some other stuff soon that isn't just Bro zone bashing as I do want to have a bit of Variety in my content but for now lets keep talking Bro zone 😂😂😂😂 )
personally the argument scene makes it a no for me Branch giving them a second chance is understandable but giving them a third chance after they threw it back in his face.
and mocked and belittled him for having perfectly valid feelings is where I feel they crossed a line of no return.
sorta makes it sadly ironic when Branch sings the lines "" I'm already up but you lift me Higher "" in Better Place when his Bros have literally done nothing but the opposite in the film prior to this scene.
at that point they deserved to be cut off frankly even if they did apologise and beg for forgiveness which they didn't all they did was agree to let Branch Bail them out of trouble.
its just toxic and isn't really something you should forgive over and over again otherwise it will just keep happening its how people in the real world get stuck in emotionally abusive relationships.
or why children never speak out about their abusive families because its been drilled into them that this behaviour is normal and acceptable.
not that this is exactly the same but its a fair comparison imo.
anyway I have some other stuff lined up for the near future that isn't Bro zone Related so I promise there will be some variety on this Blog pretty soon it won't all just be Bro zone lol 😂😂😂😂
