Troll 2/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Okay, I haven't actually seen this movie, but whenever I watch the clip...you know the one...I hear "gosh", not "god." Am I the only one?

  • Ok, good. So I'm not the only one then.
  • It sounds to me like he didn't even finish the word, so it could be either.

About the whole "Veganopia" thing...

  • So, I assume the goblins are "vegetarians" for health reasons, and not moral reasons considering they have no problem eating plants (or...goop) that comes from humans they've transformed. But they're clearly not vegan, seeing as there's that whole side-story about the milk and the ice cream. So why do they consider eggs and coffee to be "evil" foods as well? Hell, coffee doesn't even have to necessarily contain animal products, seeing as not everyone drinks it with cream.
    • I believe that the issue with the coffee is the caffeine, not animal products. And about the moral thing, it is about a belief that consuming flesh is evil. They just don't see a problem with converting creatures into plant matter and then eating them.

What happened to Brent?

  • Was he turned into popcorn? That seems to be the case, except his arms are still attached and moving.
  • He got incredibly lucky and from the looks of it lived through that, the later scene showed that he wasnt sweating green and he was still alive.


If the goblins were defeated using the power of goodness and a double-decker baloney sandwich, how do they come back to eat Joshua's mom?

  • It seems to me that the Cruel Twist Ending was Josh having a post-Nilbog-stress induced nightmare. In the scene before, he says he's going up to his room to take a nap, and in highly believable dreams or nightmares, sometimes what actually happens leading up to sleep is temporarily supplemented with the dream or nightmare. Maybe.
