History YMMV / Trollz

** On the website there is mention of Black Amber (implied to be very bad stuff) and how it contributed to how things turned out. It is never mentioned in the show. Specifically, Simon was said to have unleashed Black Amber, ''almost destroying the planet''.

* CounterpartComparison: The five Trollz are similar in temperament and color-coding to the five main ''Literature/StarDarlings''. Amethyst is sweet like Sage, Topaz is girly like Libby, Ruby is willful and brash like Leona, Sapphire is ambitious and studious like Vega, and Scarlet is a snarky loner like Onyx.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The effects used when casting spells.

* HilariousInHindsight: Characters named after gemstones? StevenUniverse must be copying this gimmick.

* UnfortunateImplications: Garnet, who is supposed to be black, [[spoiler: is evil]].
** Shale and Mica start out evil, too, but they reform.
** [[FridgeBrilliance Thinking about it more]], Garnet may have been like that as a counterpoint to Ruby. Doing everything a bit further than Ruby normally would, including appearance. Note her hair was darker, too.

* TearJerker: The montage of the girls coming back from the Old Trollz' Home wet and miserable in episode 9.

* FridgeBrilliance: Why, [[spoiler: when the Power of Ten]] is used on Simon and Snarf, do they not go away for good? Because, as revealed later, [[spoiler: Zirconia and Spinell's powers had been drained during their imprisonment]], so the spell wouldn't be at full strength.
* FridgeLogic: So the Ancients were around the same age as the girls when they fought Simon 3,000 years ago. [[spoiler: That means Zirconia and Spinell were either married as teens, or they were married after being transformed]].

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome:
** The songs throughout the series, as performed by The Valli Girls, are both awesome and heartwarming.
** The opening/ending theme, "It's A Hair Thing".
** "Best Friends for Life" is this and a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
** "The Power of Five".
** Don't know the name, but the song heard at the beginning of the Middle Ages story arc, describing Simon's plan to turn back time.
** In "New Girl In Town", the song when Garnet speeds off with Amethyst and friends. [[spoiler: It reveals a bit ahead of time that Garnet is Simon in disguise]].
** The Trollhiti song! This is one of the few songs to be played fully in an episode, with little talking over it.
** And the "Best Friends for Life" reprise at the end of the show.
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCTBGAtgudo Italian theme song]].

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming:
** Sapphire taught a friendly ogre, Sandstone, how to read. In return he taught her how to swim.
** Rock got one when, despite not having magic, he told Ruby to stand back and let him take care of Simon. Cause he's her boyfriend.
*** In a later episode, Rock ''did'' defeat Simon.
** The girls braving the Haunted Woods to rescue a goblin toy a senior citizen lost in the woods years ago.
** Ruby's hair is burnt and frizzed by the volcano, so the others wear matching hairstyles so she doesn't feel odd.

* NightmareFuel:
** In one episode, the girls and boys are attacked by ghost dogs when the bus breaks down. The dogs, being ghosts, are intangible enough to phase through walls. They ''can still eat you''.
** The girls having to face a cyclops...without their magic. If they failed, the Ancients would die.
** The walking trees in "The Big Test".
** The Trollz turning evil in "When Good Girls Go Bad". The scare factor is really ramped up when they freeze Coral, Opal, and Jade and manipulate them like puppets.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In "Onyx's Gem", Onyx runs off in the middle of practice for the talent show. Amethyst tries to call her house and gets the answering machine.
-->'''Onyx:''' Hey. You ever feel like a freak talking to a machine? Don't let that stop you. *BEEP*
** In "Topaz Possessed," Simon's reaction upon possessing Topaz is to examine his new body.
-->'''Simon:''' ...I'm a girl. Hahahahaha!

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome:
** The arc where the girls turn evil, letting Simon take over Trollzopolis. He pulled off quite a {{plan}}.
** The girls stopping the Trollhiti volcano from erupting in the last episode.

** The Trollz turning evil in "When Good Girls Go Bad". Really ramped up by them freezing Coral, Opal, and Jade and manipulating them like puppets.

** In "Topaz Possessed," SImon's reaction upon possessing Topaz is to examine his new body.

** It is also considered perfectly reasonable to strip all male trolls of their powers simply because of Simon. Ignoring the fact that Simon is not even a troll to begin with, this is flat-out sexual profiling.
*** The show once tried to offset this by saying that the boys are more scientific to compensate for the loss of magic. Basically, girls are less intelligent than boys by nature. [[IdiotBall Not that the girls in the show give us any reason to doubt this.]]

* UnfortunateImplications: Garnet, who is supposed to be black, [[spoiler: is evil]]. Okay, Ruby is actually half black, but very light-skinned, which makes this even worse.

** The arc where the girls turn evil, letting Simon take over Trollzopolis. He pulled off quite a XanatosGambit.

* FetishFuel: The fact that the girls' gems are attached to their bellybuttons. And they hardly ever take them off.
** The talent show story arc has a noticeable amount of FootFocus, as does the episode where Sapphire accidentally makes her feet glow.
** Topaz being possessed by Simon.
** The "Do as you're told" spell beads. Wonder why Obsidian had over one thousand beads in stock?

* EarWorm: The theme song.
