r/TrollHunters

Same as the title

Merlin told douxie he told him about jims poison 900 years ago. Does that mean blinky and the other trolls remember troll Jim? And if they do, how did blinky not realize who Jim was at the start of the series (trollhunters)? Wouldn't the timeline have changed if blinkny and the other trolls knew that human Jim at the start of trollhunters was the same troll.jim they met 900 years ago?

While Jim was a great troll hunter and was the reason the gum gums failed (particularly since he was human and his style was way different than the trolls). They needed him, if he wasn’t chosen, the changlings would not have been outed, and he would become Jim the Bular slayer, they did make the correct choice. But the decision is made by the souls of the dead hunters, they can’t predict the future. They hadn’t even head the chance to meet him beforehand so they took a huge gamble on him. Remember, he’s the first human to enter troll market. He is the first human to make contact in centuries. The previous hunter died at around 5am(based on the radio broadcast) and Jim and Toby showed up at 8am(based of the trailer saying what time it was) that’s only 3 hours, that’s really not a lot of time to make a decision on the next troll hunter. As the sun was rising when he died, no troll was able to collect anything until that night, after Jim bonded. So my theory is they picked Jim because was the only was the prevent Bular from getting the amulet.
