...Well. That was a thing. At the very least, it wasn't as bad as the ORIGINAL Trolls 2.... - Krátké a kreslené filmy
My biggest annoyance with this movie was how classical was given like one and a half seconds of screen time because they didn't think anyone cared about it.
They were actually the cutest trolls in the whole movie! If I was a kid now, I would definitely choose them over anyone else
Classical music is absolutely wonderful. Some of my favorite songs (or, rather, pieces) are in that genre.
@@etps4444 I completely agree. It's so wonderful 😭 (I'm a nerd, I play violin)
@@noveltea9593
That's so cool!! I play guitar, but I've always thought the violin was epic. Always admired violinists. ^^
@@etps4444 I love guitar! My best friend plays it 😀
Of fucking course Hollywood executives would depict the most profitable music genre as the hero and the most anti-establishment one as the villain.
This is basically 100% false.
Poppy was a "Troll" in the first film, they never thought that far ahead.
Being a pop trolls is based on her name (she is called it from "Poppy Pink"so its unrelated to her genre at all) and the fact the first movie was mostly pop songs. They didn't know what Cooper war, the only non-"pop" Troll from the first film until this film.
This time, its a coincidence, I mean thy even said Branch was used as the basis for the Rock Trolls.
In early versions of the film everything was completely different except Barb, but please, give some respects here is is not 100% what you think, its that they basically set the president from the first film with the overuse of Pop songs and now have to go with it for the main character
Also having the guy who sang 'War Pigs' as one of the leaders of a group committing baby's first genocide
Exactly my point
I mean the plot twist was that the exact opposite was true

Nice choice of words.
“The execution makes me want to execute myself”
Those are an amazing choice of words, I’ll be using that somewhere in my life.
Same as how the hell did they never notice experimental as a genre
i just absolutely love how the *whole* meaning of the movie is that pop can’t take over all music genres yet they use the most pop-y version of each genre
Pop-y... Po- I just noticed. I'm gonna have a hard time trusting people with both the name Poppy and a taste for Pop music.
I still think it's hilarious how when the movie tries to make us hate the villains more by fleshing them out, they actually make them look like the smart, competent, and logical ones.
Honestly was hoping it would be revealed that branch was secretly a death metal troll and that's why he didn't like any genre's and had natural black hair then he could go up against Barb in a face off

Ah, yes. Trolls 2. The story of how the pop genre was able to destroy every other form of music in order to become supreme. I do love how Pop’s plan of controlling all music was carried out by his successor.
Everything wrong with Modern Pop music in a nutshell:
-Overuse of autotune
-Cheesy lyrics
-Cringe concepts, Black Pink's "Ice Cream" Being a clear example
-Rainbows and color Pink, rainbows and color pink
-Has no meaning
-Woke culture
-gets treated more as a fashion than a music genre.
-Made for the sake of money.
-Cringe celebrities
-Tiktok

The fact that they either threw away or ignored the idea of having combined music tastes for the trolls or even branch simply fitting in with other music choices instead of pop or rock just explains a lot about this movie to me.
The moral of this story is pop will rule the world and you can’t have other music tastes
This movie feels like it was commissioned by pop music to convince people it's the best type of music
Yeah man if anything rock doesn't try to kill other genre's it uses them to improve itself

Well, to take this to an extent further than the movie likely deserves, I do enjoy things such as heroic antagonists and other such anti-villain archetypes.

@@excalibur6739 amogus
I’m pretty sure the creative team wanted more musical diversity and were tired of pop, but the producers changed a lot of the story to appeal to the pop fans, being the majority
I only had a problem with how horrible they made the Rock Trolls seem, it was more of a stereotypical viewpoint of parents and adults rather than people who ACTUALLY listen to Rock music. They made them out to be the enemy and making them seem like they were all evil and in a way insane. They also made them seem selfish and insincere. For example, Barb might be controlling and a bit destructive but her father himself seems calm and happy with how things are going. Compared to Poppy I feel like they force to be the people pleaser that they need, like in the first movie where she realized that not everything is always going to be okay. Things happen and sometimes we can’t prevent it. But instead of keeping this in mind in the second movie, she goes on a journey to save all the musical strings but on her journey she judges them. Overall none of the other musical trolls are as represented as it should have been, especially the classical trolls, if the trolls had stayed with their instruments they could have shown their feelings through their genre. Such as K-Pop, I personally do not listen to that genre but I can say while it is popular they could have gotten a better genre to go with the movie. I do not agree with Poppy’s way to FORCE people to be happy. When people are sad you can help but you can not expect them to be happy as soon as you help them. Before I continue to ramble more than I already am I don’t think that Poppy is a good model for children if anything BARB is a better model by stating “Friendships deserve time and respect”, it doesn’t happen right away such as Poppy says.
It's because if classical music could use their true powers, they would obliterate everyone. Devils Trill Sonata, La Campanella, Wrong Note, are a few ideas that could destroy the rock trolls

It makes me insanely upset that they seem to believe that all rock music is only hard rock. Rock music contains so many different subgenres, and it’s a huge shame that they didn’t consider representing other types than the heavy metal Metallica stuff. All rock is valid!
Actually, the movies lore basically notes that music comes and goes; Hard Rock is the CURRENT version of Rock as portrayed in the moiv.e
The minor Tribe Trolls are either Trolls in tribes going extinct and what you see is all that is left or Trolls in Tribes that are starting to appear.
In that case maybe make it were they have like a battle of the bands with the winner being their leader so there could potentially be alt or prog rock trolls who aid the other trolls
@@AngelEmfrbl that's actually interesting
Yeah plus wasn’t that heavy metal?? I listen to classic rock so i wouldn’t know lol
I personally think different types of rock music trolls live in the hard rock city but they live in small towns. And Queen Barbara just rules them all?🤔
I was hoping in the end when Branch was zapped, he didn’t transform seeing as he has a desaturated color pallet like the rock trolls. I thought that would be a good ending. HE would save the day and it could be a message about how you don’t have to stick to what u were born into.
Just what I thought went I first watched the movie.
Exactly. They made him super weak and useless
Metal and classical music go together so well, they should be friends not fighting
Fun fact: The original troll doll was created by Thomas Dam from Gjøl in Denmark in 1958. The first ones were filled with wood shavings. Many styles and sizes were made and even animals from donkeys, elephants, giraffes, horses, lions and monkeys.

Same bro.🙄
As if Kpop itself wasn’t originally modeled after American boy bands like New Kids on the Block
ikr just different countries
Poppy pretty much ignored how their cultures worked and tried to make everyone get along , even tho they literally did at the end with the old “ Sing until everyone agrees on 1 thing “
The first movie is just tiny little creatures running away from giants who eat them and then the sequel made me forget they were even tiny and just strayed away from the first movie and decided to make lore about "strings that make music" the first movie felt so fantasy like and the second felt so modern and advanced
I have a question why do they only have hard rock trolls. There are different genres of rock like classic rock, punk rock, grunge, heavy metal, nu wave, hair rock, glam metal, pop punk, power metal, progressive rock, symphonic, psychedelic rock, and rock n roll. There is so much more they can do with this like they could bring back the Bergen’s and have them represent the current genres they live in. And there so many awesome music duels they can take inspiration from. Also why is rock the villain, I know there isn’t really a villain in this movie but they could easily make a villain representing the music industry. This movie could have been at least good, not great but good.
@TenaciousGaming And?
Grunge trolls would be too powerful that is why.
Probably because it would be way too confusing
@@redwarriorstudios6077 it’s a kids move that’s too confusing their not gonna remember all of that and they wouldn’t like the music anyway

I would burn churches to see black metal trolls running around a grim and frostbitten forest like Immortal in Call Of The Wintermoon.
Oh I’d LOVE THAT. I need Trolls with corpse paint
Lol, would they be the growling types like most black metal bands, or the high-pitched screaming types like Graf Von Baphomet?
"And then I'm gonna watch the 3rd one immediately, I'm invested now"
That is exactly how I felt after watching the movie too lol
It's time for the best movie game: "How can they out-fuck it up more than the last one?"
My heart shattered when he said that branch had an arc about confessing to poppy. Even if the original wasn't 'good' it didn't force two characters to be together.
ah yes jazz, the century-spanning worldwide over-genre that has a big part in the creation of rock, hip hop, even pop, is represented with one smooth jazz troll
The original draft of the movie was that several trolls (some not in the final version) were fragments of Tribes going extinct and gathered together for scraps of interest in the hope someone would listen.
In short, int the Trolls world, music comes and goes, at the moment Jazz is on the extinction list, while K-Pop and that are new andupcoming.
@@AngelEmfrbl ah so they were going to try and explain it but never did. also I understand smooth jazz being in decline, but electro swing and jazz hop are pretty popular
This is exactly how I felt towards the introduction of the techno trolls, which for some reason get ANNIHILATED FIVE SECONDS INTO THE FILM

Your point about the hard rock trolls being the bad guys is everything I can think of. People in hard rock are often some of the most accepting and nice people you'll meet. Punk, rock, hard rock, metal, and all their subgenres. But every movie ever feels like they use them as the "bad guys" similar to making punks unfriendly. I've been into this music since I was 12 and I've encountered tons of nice people who are very accepting of other types of music. Yeah, every group has their bad eggs, but as soon as I saw the hard rock trolls were the villains of the movie, I knew exactly what this would be like.
In fact, most of the mean people I've met are into pop music :/ in fact, it would have been more interesting if they made the pop trolls be an unintentional antagonist where in trying to unite them after learning about the other trolls, they ended up just wanting to add pop to everything (like the way Poppy's letter or whatever to the rock trolls went over) and being toxic and positive and not respecting boundaries and the hard rock trolls call them out for it. But we all know the people making Trolls are just here for a cash grab and nothing more, so the mean looking hard rock trolls are the bad guys like every time.
Edit: Even with them going with "the pop trolls tried to conquer" it is so poorly done and doesn't actually work as "the pop trolls were really the bad ones all along" because it isn't built up at all and is so rushed and falls flat. If they really wanted to do that in a 90 minute kids movie, they should have leaned into it instead of "hard rock trolls are evil oh but it turns out the pop trolls tried to conquer originally." But hey, I've already said that is too much for a cash grab and these people making it will not put in the effort.
Also I do have to say I really enjoy the visuals and such of the movie. The trolls have a good enough and unique appearance and the worlds are actually quite beautiful to look at even if they aren't super memorable overall.
You said it perfectly
Yeah, whoever made the movie is also making people with piercings look bad when we aren't! I think the hard rock trolls are the coolest looking trolls.
It's also pretty awful considering the movie pushes the rep that rock is "bad". Rock music has historically been seen as the 'devil's music' or 'evil', etc, so even though the dispute is resolved in the end, the movie still portrays rock as an evil genre through the majority of the film
The labelling of "evil" comes from Poppy calling Barb it; the rock trolls were following Barb's guidance. Barb and Poppy both thought they were the hero and barb considered the Pop Trolls "the bad guy" due to their presence from the past. Barb didn't realise she was repeating history. Proof of Barb being actually not evil is her own reaction to Debbie, her father, the kids of her own Tribe. Unfortunately, some things about the plot were cut before realise, she was suppose to also note in her talk with Poppy that she was living up to the legacy of her own father; a lot of the entire plot was her trying to live her to expectations of her station, but we just gt one glossed overline in the final version.
It was confirmed from the creators, at no point were the Rock Trolls evil. As Poppy said, what would have happened with the strings in tact, another tribe would then repeat but Pop and ock did in the future. The strings were a ticking time bomb. Country, Funk, Techno or Classical would hav been the next to go out on a conquest.
In reality, Poppy wasn't even correct, she thought the Trolls were, all the same, failing to acknowledge how different they were until it was too late and her friends, even Branch basically had had enough. She learns the lessons and realises her mistake.The entire movie's point was to be a reference to flat-out racism, it used music genres to represent different groups of people.
I feel like at time points, people had so many issues with the movie and were so bias that they didn't WANT to pay attention to the movie and some of its details.
@@AngelEmfrbl Except for the fact that the way the rock trolls are presented IS as evil. Which is very common. This happens a lot in media and I've seen it many times. Rock/punks coming across aggressive and only protective of their own and them being "nice" is weird. Even if that was the intention, the thing is that it didn't come out like that. It was too messy and poorly written to have that message come across. It's like when people make a character they want to be likeable only for them to be unlikable. This is very common in poor writing and something I've seen tons of times. Trolls 2 has done it again. Think of actually good kids movies that can make people feel and realize a message. Trolls 2 isn't that. It's too rushed and too much is going on and it barely knows what it wants to be. I've seen plenty of media use diversity and and racism in such in better ways with better things to illustrate their points. Trolls 2 fell flat with this and ended up being something that wanted to pander to children. I don't even hate the Trolls franchise, but this was so poorly done. Especially representing the other music groups, especially with the "bounty hunters." Music is very indepth and such and they needed it to be shallow for it to be understood, which can work, but it still feels so poorly researched. Also if most people are missing that point, it's probably because the movie wasn't written well enough to have it come across. And if they cut stuff out then that's the issue, the movie isn't what it wanted to be, it's a stripped down shell of what it originally intended to be. Usually with cut scenes, they are scenes that ultimately felt unnecessary or had to be removed for time reasons but the movie still makes sense without them. If a whole plot point was lost because of a cut scene, that isn't a sign of a good movie that has its message well received. Regardless of the original intent, the rock trolls come across as mean, aggressive, and antagonistic. A stereotype that is rarely seen in real life. Even some of my favorite games and shows have used this stereotype even if they had them turn out "nice" by the end. Rock has a long history of being seen as this and being treated like this and being antagonized especially with its fans. Whether the movie intended to or not, it made rock out to seem to be an antagonist with no real say otherwise. You do raise some valid points, but the fact that so many people miss it, says a lot about how well the message of this movie ran over /nm /gen

I'm not sure the writers thought through the implications of having the pop kingdom being responsible for an attempt at imperialism in the past only to then have every music ideology just go along with a pop song at the end
Poppy was really cruel with Branch. She never listens to him, throw away his weapons, ignore his advices. I didn't like her atitude :S The worst? Poppy never appologises for all the mean things she said or did. Not ONCE the princess says '' Your right Branch! I was a terrible friend! I'm sorry, i should've listen to you. '' It didn't happen.
The movie isn't that bad! The animation is pretty and colorful, the songs are entertaining (except the part in the Country town. That was awful!) Barb is a great character, funny and cool. I like her :D
Well
1: Poppy is now Queen, not princess
2: the point of the movie was she DIDN'T listen
Erm... Yeah... The point was she didn't listen.
This movie has potential, and what dreamworks did with that potential was throw it out.

It’s like they had all the ingredients to make an interesting movie that commented on modern music and then just barfed on it with no regard of what they were making. Like you said they had opportunities to mix genders perfectly. Personally I think classical and rock music actually mix super well and imagine how cool it could’ve been to see the rock and classical battle it out with notes and sounds. Maybe to defend classical plays orchestral versions of rock and the rock trolls play rock versions of past classical orchestral music
Idk I’m just rambling now
mix _genders?_

@@bloodiegawz i know ! thought it was kinda funny
yeah agreed. Honestly if they just put an ounce of effort into the music, then it might actually have been a pretty good series overall. Kinda stupid that they didn't considering music is literally the main ethos of the franchise

Mad facts
This movie kind of wrote itself into a corner. You can't really mash nations together because they have different direct aspects that can't be merged. It's not like there's a solution to this at all, because why do countries exist?
But separation isn't the answer either, it was breeding hatred for other Tribes.
The 2D follow up TV series is about this problem.
Honestly kind of reminds me of the "Love Nikki" franchise which is about fashion rather music. In "Shining Nikki" we learn a bit more about Miraland, each of the nations have their own style and own culture. Ninir has a queen that is elected while Pigeon is a Monarchy.
Shame that trolls didn't go as much into this idea. If someone flees a kingdom, do they become a true citizen of their new country? What if one declares independence? How does music work as a weapon!?
what are you talking about? national borders are imaginary
@@TurbopropPuppy , tell that Canada, Japan, Finland, etc etc in all parts of the world except Quasar because that’s the only country in the world without borders, and it has a total open border policy for everybody and everything.
Umm..... countries dont exist bc of differences, they exist bc people ruled over or conquered them.
15:07
Dazz: **talking**
The last troll: AAAAAAAAA
imagine if the reason why the whole world looks all felt-like is because the story is Poppy retelling what happened via scrapbook, which explains why the pop trolls are always seen as the heroes despite being more negative than positive. Like she’s telling the story with a scrapbook, but it’s all from her perspective.
Isn't it weird how this movie is literally exactly what it says it's against? It's canonical in this universe that the pop trolls attempted to conquer the others and wrote a revisioned history after the fact, then instead of addressing that they just have A POP DANCE NUMBER WITH ACCOMPANIMENT
AKA: "Your culture is awesome so long as it's indistinguishable from ours!"
...You know, the real world enemy of "Celebrate your differences?"
No, it's the pop trolls try to take over the world, fail, and hide themselves away in the middle of the forest, separated from the other genres.
The movie just fumbles a bit with showing that it's okay to like different things. Most of the trolls are intolerant of eachother and lived in separate widely spaced out communities. They just rushed the ending to have a mushy gushy " oh we all get along now" happy ending.
It's a perfect allegory to real life SJWs. They claim to be against racism but can't separate a person from their skin color.

I love all the songs in the sequel but the movie itself? Don't hate it but also don't love it? I feel neutral. I just mainly love the songs like It's All Love, Just Sing and Perfect for Me.
I love how while I have many issues with the series my biggest problem with the second movie to this day is how Branch’s colors couldn’t stay consistent between films. I liked the blue color they made him at the end of the first film. Why is he grey/green now?
At the end of the movie I was genuinely excited when poppy supposedly got turned into a rock troll, I thought it would have been really cool for the side characters to have to take the lead to save her and everyone, but no, they reused a bad joke because WHY THE FUCK NOT?
Well, we certainly can't have rock music being portrayed as a positive thing. No. Rock is often controversial, and subversive. We can't allow kids to believe that controversial, and subversive is a good thing....
Actually, its portrayed as good later on! Ypu have to know that there is a cartoon serie and all the tribes are learning to live together and some of the best characters who are a good example for kids and are growing up are from the rock tribe! There are a lot of things that have to be looked behind
@@naomicravana To be honest,t he fault is on Barb, not the entire Tribe to begin with. And itsPoppy who basically called Barb "evil", it was before Poppy started toput 2 and 2 together herself and work out "hey, differences DO matter!".
I'm going to be fought and attacked on this opinion for sure but that just proves my point. Rock was literally for kids with issues. The ones who hated their parents and needed to let out pent up rage written by people who hated their parents and wanted to let out pent up rage. I listen to a lot of rock and even death metal but its not my go-to. Screaming head banger forceful music and dark edgy clothing isn't something to be glorified. You're wording it as if its a world changing respectful rebellious in a good way stand point. But teen emos and adults who never left that punk rock phase are some of the most embarrassing self loathing confused people I know. Its disturbing. And trust me I love gothic styles. And vibrant colors. My likes in both music and fashion are all across the spectrum. You're acting like kids should grow up idolizing emos and rock. And I full heartedly disagree. There's a good kind of controversial and a bad kind of controversial. I fight literally almost every opinion modern day people have because I genuinely think that this is one of the worst generations ever society and personality wise. This generation is so twisted up in the head that they're impossible to reason with and sheep into mass opinions. I stand firm for my beliefs even if im the ONLY person in the room with that opinion because I don't want to be a sheep or fake. So yeah, Rock isn't anything special and a god awful role model for kids, so is rap. This grnerations music taste makes me want to vomit, and like I said I like all music, but there's like 50% good rap, 50% bad rap, and this generation seems to only like the bad rap to the point where its not even music. Its barely english with all the slang and slurrs and incorrect concepts. I would have picked a very different Trolls sequel, but this wasn't GOD AWFUL and rock wasn't portrayed as badly as you're acting
@@BluBurryRae Hasn't rock been somewhat dead for the last 10 years or something?

The reason why the Rock and Jazz are underrepresented is not a deep reason:
For the toys
I thought it was because it was invented by black people and sanitized by white people
(Or that rock is genuinely the more wholesome of the music fans)
@@anarchomando7707 , I’m a white person that’s never listened to jazz in his entire life, but from what I recall researching jazz clubs in the 20s is the only reason on why banning alcohol didn’t stop the sales of alcohol completely, and that’s why there were more alcoholics in the 20s than stoners and heroin addicts, so if you have a link to show my knowledge of jazz being factually inaccurate than I’d agree with your take more than people like Adam Canover’s viewpoints on jazz and jazz clubs in the 20s.
The big reason why Quality is way better than Quantity
Which is funny, cause younger me would’ve much rather had a Rock troll toy than a Pop troll toy
honestly the fakeout would have worked a lot better if they had gone for the theme of overlapping genres, the reason she cant be converted to punk rock is because she already enjoyed punk rock, you cant forcibly convert her to something shes already embraced
I hate how the rock trolls are portrayed as wanting to make everyone the same but rock actually promotes more originality individualism and self expression than pop which’s most songs are literally copies of each other and why are the rocks the bad guys they have better points of view🤘🎸

6:50 Now I’m actually starting to think this is all a big ploy to pretend pop musicians aren’t the real villains seeing as they are the stars of the show
Somebody explain how when Poppy doesn't get possesed by the power chord that she can still play the guitar after her only musical experience would be with pop where nothing like what she plays exists, and let alone that the only instrument we see poppy play is a cowbell?
You know I was thinking about 14:17 and it would have made a lot more sense if it was Branch. As we saw earlier Branch is really flexible when it comes to other music genres, so it wouldn't be a stretch for him to keep his free will when zapped.
Too bad the movie needed a false "all hope is lost" moment.

Other thoughts for fight scenes:
-Classical trolls are powerhouses, especially in large groups (orchestras). But because they're from an older era, they lack the ability to fully attack younger genres(?). They can use offense, but maybe it's a lot weaker. Their defense is nigh unbeatable. Unless you're Barb, who does her research and finds "weaknesses" in classical music defense.
-Funk is highly advanced and super powerful. What can I say? They have offense defense, advanced tactics, etc. But Barb has multiple strings by now, they were destined to lose.
-Pop trolls are so regressed because the other trolls exiled them, and hate everything to do with them.
The classic trolls also should have a cannon as a reference to the 1812 overture
The last one was correct. (mostly the hate everything to do with them)
also metal incorporates a lot of classical elements, so there's that aspect that could have been a thing
11:46 yooooo is that the roblox forcefield? Epic cameo
Fun fact that nobody cares:when the kpop trolls sing the song playing in the background is about killing people Russian Roulette by Red Velvet
The thing I hate the most about this movie is that there were so many good ideas and a lot of potential but they totally wasted it.
I'm imagining how cool it could have been if this was about the Pop trolls learning that they have been oppressing the other genres who now all band together against them. Poppy as the Queen has to show them that they can all be friends, but does so in such a way that is trying to make the others all conform to a more Pop way of life. The Pop trolls could learn to embrace the other genres and actually accept them as they are, and Poppy could learn that blind optimism isn't always the right way (I think they tried to do that). Branch could be the one who has to show her how to be adaptable since he gets along with all genres, so now he gets to teach her a lesson like she taught him in the first one.
This would be a cool allegory for a lot of reasons. For one like Dazz said the music industry is in a weird place, especially pop where it's very manufactured and fake happy garbage with no real meaning (everything Barb said in her rant basically.) But also weirdly fits as an allegory about the state of America. Like how a certain groups claim to be embracing of all types of different people but only if they rigidly conform to their own standards of right and wrong. And we need to learn that different doesn't mean bad and there's value in different points of view. And they already included the revisionism....

at the end when Poppy break the huge guitar and the cord and everything turned to nothing,, i think that the person who should have started the heart thing was Barb,, and the melody would be like this

then Branch who is a multi genre troll would be like
Poppy youre a girl make a big noise playing on the valley,, gonna be a big queen someday
and then others troll start to sing (no i dont have the other lyrics i dont know how to continu it)

As a jazz fan I wish there was more to it than just the one guy who doesn't even appear at the end. Jazz is probably some of the most creative genres of music out there and solidified a lot of music theory tropes we use today. Especially since Jazz could be its own world like you said.
Smooth jazz, free-form jazz, big band, electro swing/jazz, bebop, modal jazz, swing itself fits under the category, rap jazz, Latin jazz, and more. It's a VERY diverse music genre to the point some people tend to mix it with other genres of music. Pop jazz exists, movie.
Its because originally the screenwritting for the Smooth Jazz Troll was that he was part of the Trollswhose music is basically going extinct...His in other words the only left.
@@AngelEmfrbl that's... actually sad!!
Maybe Jazz could also be a whole nation of itself, but then the rock trolls invade it and demand their string they’ll be like “string? What’s that?” And apparently they found out about the whole “music is in the heart” thing long before anyone else. Maybe it can kinda represent Jazz’s original roots. Jazz was made out of experimentation and expression after African Americans were oppressed for so long.

Poppy has a huge problem in that she never has to sacrifice anything, make a significant change to her worldview. She gets the kingdoms united but never has to realise her mindset was patronising to anyone who didn’t share it. Other trolls talk about her like she’s made big achievements, but she’s fundamentally the same character she was at the start of the original. It’s others who change their mind and perspective, she brings them around.
It's a SJW wet dream.
You ever seen that "sympathetic villain; anti-villain; anti-hero; plain annoying" Tumblr post? Poppy is plain annoying. She gets away with everything, loses nothing, and people listen to her for no reason?? She's just not a good character xP
And, yeah, no character development. The only thing that changed is she has a status of power
i love how hyprocritical and omnibenevolent she is💀 she directly shows intentions to bring people together and make others feel happy in the first movie, yet tears other people's music down because it isn't her type, and they're not feeling the same mood as her.

When my family was watching this my dad thought that Branch, somewhere near the end, was actually a rock troll. Might've been an interesting idea now that I think of it...
Yeah, that would’ve made the movie a little more interesting if you think about it.
Okay, I’m going to use my creative brain to try to make a better plot:
What if there’s like this council that decides which genres of music are “deserving” of getting a string. Basically, classical music is divided amongst a whole bunch of genres, since that music has been around for hundreds of years. The Rock Trolls want to be the ones that get it, so they attack every other newer type of music, trying to become the only competitors. Poppy talks Barb into letting the Pop Trolls compete as well. When the council awakens, Pop and Rock compete in a battle. The council actually denies both of them- claiming that Pop music is too simple and that Rock is (I dunno… too aggressive or something?). The council refuses to hand out any strings. Poppy and Barb console each other in the “emotional moment” scene. The Classical Music Trolls decide to give some of their strings to the newer genres, claiming that it’s time for someone else to have the spotlight- and each newer genre of music gets a string transferred from the older genres. The council doesn’t like this, but the older genres defend the newer ones. The council is revealed to be the bad guys, who are trying to keep music into closely defined categories- and are then defeated by a song which mixes categories of music together.
I think this makes more sense out of the “strings” plot line. It also has some meaning to it, and has a lot to do with music adapting over time.

poppy is more insufferable in this movie

*i'm not like the other trolls, i trash on rock music for no reason*
I think making it a trolls sequel was their first mistake. The trolls were supposed to be about happiness and finding your own happiness and whatever bullshit the movie where a guy wouldn't sing because it killed his grandma or whatever.
I'd love an original world about the different types of music as embodiments of creatures, where we could get a bunch of cool songs and end with the frequently added lesson of acceptance, equality, and getting along. Mostly I just want it for the music because I don't mind admitting that I liked most of the songs in the movie- though I'd prefer there being more original ones than there were, if they were any, because I'm pretty sure I recognized them all from somewhere else.
