The Worm Guy | |
| Troll (2022) / int_1396b32c | comment |
The Worm Guy: Tobias Tidemann, has spent his whole life researching Troll folkore and investigating if trolls actually existed, things that made him a laughingstock in academia and eventually labeled as a madman. Worse yet, when an actual troll appears, he is still considered insane by the government and kicked out from a government gathering and one of his old friends reveals to Nora the Troll graveyard beneath Oslo and insists that he did what he had to do to keep Tobias from causing a ruckus that would probably have him silenced by the government, a thing that Nora is more than a little angry to call him out on. Nora, as a more reknowned anthropologist, is also put in this role when she has to tell the rest of the people arguing about what made a mountain explode and kill a lot of people to get their heads out of their rear ends and acknowledge the Apocalyptic Log of one of the victims that shows, on HD video, something humanoid and massive as the cause. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism: The longer the troll is out and about, the more and more other characters fall into this as they refuse to believe that fairytales are actually real, such as Captain Kris. By the end though, everyone seems to have accepted the facts. | |

Papa Wolf: Nora is able to get the troll to follow her and Andreas in the climax by mounting the skull of one of his children on the back of a truck. As she expected, it loses interest in reaching the royal palace and immediately starts chasing the truck in a furious rage. | |

| Troll (2022) / int_26e685c0 | comment |
A Mythology Is True: All the fairytales of trolls turn out to be true, but have been twisted by various authors to paint trolls as just that, make-believe creatures. We even get the line about every myth having a grain of truth. | |

Conveniently Empty Building | |
| Troll (2022) / int_3fb02630 | comment |
Conveniently-Empty Building: A rare justification. The Prime Minister orders the complete evacuation of Oslo in the final act when it's determined the troll is advancing towards the city, and the civilians promptly obey the order. Good thing, because the chaos of the climax leaves at least half the city torn apart. | |

Monster-Shaped Mountain | |
| Troll (2022) / int_41899e45 | comment |
Monster-Shaped Mountain: In the opening sequence, Tobias tells Nora the legend that a local mountain range is actually made of trolls who got drunk at a wedding and forgot what time it was, ultimately getting turned to stone by the sun's rays. As she looks at the mountains, she gradually begins to see the trollish faces in the rock. The movie ultimately leaves it ambiguous whether that's exactly what the mountains are or if this is a simple case of pareidolia. | |

Never Hurt an Innocent: Oddly enough, the troll only hurt those who attacked it intentionally, and in an instant, where a child was in danger of being crushed by a crashing helicopter, the troll grabbed the helicopter, saving the child and the parent, and then left as peacefully as it could. | |

Alas, Poor Villain: When the troll succumbs to the sunrise in the end, it's treated somberly, because although it was a destructive man-eating beast, it was an ultimately intelligent, normally peaceful being whose kind were unfairly driven to extinction by humans and that simply wanted to be reunited with its family. | |

Nuke 'em: Implied. Minister Markussen convinces the Prime Minister to use some type of missile of enormous power against the troll. We're never told it's a nuclear device, but from the way it's talked about, we get the definite sense that this is more than a conventional weapon. Markussen also admits that technically, they're not even supposed to have this weapon, which could be a nod to the fact that, in real life, Norway does not have a nuclear arsenal. | |

I Did What I Had to Do: Rikard Sinding, an elderly palace official who knew of the Trolls before the troll woke up, had a great deal of respect for the main heroine's father, who researched trolls for years, but before he could publish his findings, Sinding censored him and shut down his research. He regrets it, but he did it to prevent hysteria and ridicule for her father. She was less than happy about it, since it ruined her father's life and her relationship with him. | |

| Troll (2022) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Just like in the fairytales, Christians really piss the troll off. It's immediate instinct upon discovering a Christian soldier is to scoop him up and devour him. The remains of its kin being manhandled by humans also angers it, as when it sees the skull of its offspring on the back of a truck, it becomes positively enraged. The hatred of Christians gets eventual justification that 1) hatred of churches is not because of being Christian per se but because it reacts violently to anything that makes too much noise and church bells do that and 2) Christian humans killed all of its kin in bog-standard Evil Colonialist fashion and thus it's payback. | |

Kaiju: The troll, a towering figure larger than buildings, spends most of the film trampling its way through the countryside and a city, leaving crater-like footprints in the landscape and casually knocking buildings into rubble with swings of its arms. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Troll (2022) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Nora decides that killing the troll is wrong, turns off all the UV lights, and tries to tell it to flee to the mountains where it won't be bothered by humans ever again. Unfortunately, at that moment, the sun rises and kills the troll anyway. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Troll (2022) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Many to Norwegian folklore, understandably. The song "In The Hall of the Mountain King" of "Peer Gynt" appears repeatedly through the soundtrack. In one part of the climax the protagonists are in a situation similar to the "3 Billy Goats Bluff" legend (although they snark that it's not knowledge that will help them). A skeptical government agent mockingly suggests that King Kong could be responsible for the giant footprints. Later in the film, there's an Orbital Shot of the troll being circled by helicopters that is nearly identical to a similar scene in Kong: Skull Island. A Japanese news broadcaster dubs the troll the "Norwegian Godzilla" while reporting on its swath of destruction. Andreas has some knowledge of military weapons and procedures... from playing Call of Duty. When the heroes try to recall the old stories about trolls from their childhoods, one says you're not supposed to feed them after midnight. Andreas and his fellow nerd Sigrid occasionally flash the Star Trek "live long and prosper" Memetic Hand Gesture to each other. At another point, he calls her the Mister Spock to his Captain Kirk, and when talking her into hacking the missile, he slips into Gratuitous English to say "Make it so." Not long after that, Sigrid also switches to English to say "You shall not pass." The Bad Vibrations scene mentioned above is pretty overtly modeled on a similiar scene in Jurassic Park, camera angles and all. | |

Detachment Combat | |
| Troll (2022) / int_d04265aa | comment |
Detachment Combat: Andreas occasionally mentions a novel he is trying to write about a monk who can remove his own head to throw it at enemies and bite them. The monk can also remove his arms and shoot them at people. Captain Kris asks at one point if the monk is a robot, and Andreas explains that no, he has Enlightenment Superpowers. | |

Sympathy for the Devil | |
| Troll (2022) / int_d3a4af1e | comment |
Sympathy for the Devil: Nora feels sorry for the troll, since it is not only the Last of Its Kind, it is also an Antagonist in Mourning, having learned of the mass genocide of its species by man, and so she tries to set it loose so it can leave in peace. | |

Written by the Winners | |
| Troll (2022) / int_d41832cc | comment |
Written by the Winners: According to Tobias, the brutish qualities associated with trolls are because the Christian establishment slandered them after wiping them out. The reveal of the troll graveyard underneath the Royal Palace confirms this. | |

Failed Attempt at Drama | |
| Troll (2022) / int_d9563969 | comment |
Failed Attempt at Drama: Tired of the Prime Minister's attitude, Andreas attempts to resign in a dramatic fashion, leaving his access card on the table. When he tries to leave, he remembers that he needs his access card to open the door, so he has to go back and pick up the card. | |

Elephant Graveyard: There's a bonebed of troll skeletons beneath the royal palace in Oslo from when the Christians exterminated the trolls. Several of the skeletons are those of baby trolls. | |

Last of His Kind | |
| Troll (2022) / int_e26f04b4 | comment |
Last of His Kind: The troll is speculated by Nora to be the very last of its kind, as the rest were exterminated by Christians centuries ago. However, Andreas raises the possibility of other trolls dormant in other glacier caves at the end, and another troll is shown waking up in The Stinger. | |

Weakened by the Light | |
| Troll (2022) / int_fab3c1e1 | comment |
Weakened by the Light: The troll in this film is vulnerable to sunlight, or rather, direct sunlight, and UV spotlights work as a good substitute. The troll succumbs to the sunrise at the end and is turned to stone. Interestingly, even the centuries old troll skeletons under the Royal Palace still turn to stone when exposed to UV light. | |

Non-Malicious Monster | |
| Troll (2022) / int_fd1b902c | comment |
Non-Malicious Monster: The troll isn't hostile to anything that doesn't attack or provoke it first, and actually appears docile around humans who show it kindness and respect. It's later revealed the troll bears no true ill-will toward humanity (Christians notwithstanding) and is merely trying to reach the rest of its kind in Oslo. Unfortunately, all the other trolls are long dead. | |

Brick Joke: When Andreas quits his job, he dramatically tells the Prime Minister to consider it his "retirement". Much later, he realises to his embarrassment that the word he should have used was "resignation". | |
