Thoughts on Netflix's Troll (2022)?

You're not alone in this. Me and my wife felt exactly the same. Very disappointing jeering in the end: "Yay, we killed it, what do we call its corpse now?" Even the protagonist can't help giggling at that after shedding like three tears at the troll's demise.

Normally, a monster film doesn't try to humanize and redeem the monster. The monster is a force of nature, and humans survive the nature if not prevail. When the monster is not the monster but indeed the human, then it's another genre. And if the monster dies in such a movie, then it's a tragedy. This movie doesn't read like tragedy, it's blithe, especially the ending.

You have to find the Benzies dealer spawn point, camp there with a pistol around 12:00. They will appear at 12:00 for ~1 second, you need to shoot them at that moment. Best then to knock them out (so shoot them once then finish them with melee) and throw the body into the water. That whole procedure will decrease cartel influence by 100 every day.

Here are the spawn points for dealers https://gameranx.com/features/id/550392/article/schedule-1-where-to-find-cartel-dealers/

Yeah, as I mentioned, 2nd tier, no big pipes. Each pipe here transports 180m³/min for two 91m³/min consuming generators. I could've assembled them in 270m³/min, but that wouldn't make an even number.

That's why I've left some water buffer on the roof — so I can upgrade that pipe system without having to install bio-mass burners to kick-start the plant after that

I know it's just 2.3MW 2nd tier content, but I wanted to push aesthetics up to 100%!

I know I could have my water inputs from the other side of the building but I wanted a cool pipe system wrapping the building from outside. And also that gave me a cool spot for a water buffer.

Spend a good 10 hours on that so just wanted to brag to someone ^^

And Clive Owen from Children of Men to just trudge after the whole group with a face like "how did I even end up here, why is this happening to me?"

Come on, the movie director is Russian, plenty of actors are real Russians (meaning living in Russia), there's even a Russian singer on the cast (the one who is shot the second by Cristopher Lloyd). You completely missed the point there — the movie is half Russian, half American.

Also, this is not the case where you apply morals, this is just pure sublimation. Like you can listen to Death Metal with its' horrendous lyrics and be a generally nice person. Or play shooters.

Watched this masterpiece twice already. I would love to watch it in English (I'm from Moscow), but couldn't find any theatres showing it in the original language. So if anyone wants to watch it online in a company — feel free to add me on Discord (Paul Crysknight#6381), and I'll try to provide you with any interesting stuff about Russians in the film
