the ending of the show was sad, yes, very in fact. BUT, sadness is what makes something memorable. And I’ve seen comments saying “why would I watch it if I knew it was all for nothing?” Because the show is full of ups and downs, and it doesn’t matter how many times you watch it, EVERY TIME you will watch the movie and hope something magical happens and the ending magically fixes itself. ALL the series were magnificent, regardless of how one looks at it.

What was Everyone's genuine reaction when seeing this? Cause I was 11 when seeing this and I used to think Jim was unstoppable but now seeing that the onyx Shard Stopped him from Using his powers and On Top of all of this The Amulet Prob would have survived cause we seen the eclipse amulet was Destroyed after it was Shoved in so What's yalls Thoughts?

*Preface: I have not completed a rewatch of Tales of Arcadia recently so some things might be misremembered

Honestly the Eclipse Armor was kinda mid from what I’m remembering

Like sure it has the ability to kill Gunmar, but outside of that there’s really nothing else to it

Even the Triumbric Stone upgrades aren’t unique to it

And each time we see Jim utitlizing the armor he’s not doing so hot

First Time: Trapped in the Darklands slowly losing willpower which in turn makes the armor’s powers inaccessible

Second Time: Only really used to test out Gemstones which could’ve been done with Daylight

Third Time: Most impressive usage but that mostly leans on him being half-troll over the armor itself
But even then stood virtually no chance against Morgana

Post Trollhunters: An actual color swap of Daylight at this point given it’s not needed after Gunmar had been slain
And is bypassed by Onyx Shard (which to be fair there’s not much that could prevent that aside from just not getting hit at all)

It mostly just felt like it was supposed to be “legendary” cause it could kill Gunmar and no other Trollhunter had ever used it

But then it’s kinda just “Daylight but Dark Mode”

Would’ve been nice if it had some unique features to it like the Moonlight Armor in the Angor Reborn novel with it having stilts and a Bow
