Okay, so I've seen a lot of discussions, and honestly, one of the biggest questions I keep seeing about Trolls 3 is, 'What species are Velvet and Veneer?' It's something I've been pondering too! The movies don't explicitly state what they are, which leaves a lot up to interpretation, but from what we see, especially in relation to how they use the trolls, it gives us some strong hints. In the film, Velvet and Veneer are the pop star duo, and they're always seeking that 'talent enhancement' – a power they extract, quite literally, from the trolls. The OCR text from the original post even directly references 'talent enhancement to the Mt. Rageons.' This strongly suggests that Velvet and Veneer are either Mt. Rageons themselves, or at the very least, deeply integrated into their society and acting under their cultural values. The Mt. Rageons are depicted as these larger, often self-centered beings who value fame, external validation, and talent above all else, and they're shown to be quite aggressive in achieving their goals. This would make perfect sense for Velvet and Veneer's characters, aligning with the article's point about how 'certain large creatures' don't treat trolls with respect, viewing them more as 'animals' or mere 'resources' rather than individuals deserving of dignity and autonomy. Their likely identity as Mt. Rageons strongly reinforces the article's central critique: that trolls are seen as docile, incredibly valuable, and inherently exploitable. Whether it's for an 'ant1d3prezzant' for Bergens in the past or 'talent enhancement' for Mt. Rageons like Velvet and Veneer in the present, the core issue remains the persistent lack of basic respect. It's a really sad dynamic when you think about it – these tiny, friendly creatures, described as 'passive, and friendly' in the OCR, are constantly being taken advantage of because of their unique abilities. The OCR insight, 'trolls are still tiny creatures which, going back to Velvet & Veneer that's where all the disrespect comes from,' really hits home. It makes you wonder if belonging to a species like the Mt. Rageons contributes to Velvet and Veneer's sense of superiority, allowing them to justify treating others this way without a second thought. It's a classic power imbalance where the strong exploit the vulnerable, believing their own desires outweigh the well-being of others simply because of perceived differences in size or power. The article truly highlights how the trolls, despite their overwhelmingly 'forgiving creatures' nature, are still incredibly vulnerable. Even though Velvet and Veneer eventually faced consequences, the narrative shows it was actually their assistant who held them accountable, not the exploited trolls themselves. This ongoing cycle of exploitation, where powerful species like the Mt. Rageons (and potentially Velvet and Veneer themselves) see smaller, valuable species as mere tools to achieve their own ends, is a central theme that makes you question the cheerful 'cupcakes & rainbows' ending. It's a stark reminder that even in a colorful, seemingly utopian world, deep-seated power dynamics can lead to serious ethical dilemmas and continued disrespect. It really makes you think about the underlying societal issues within the Trolls universe and how important it is to recognize and challenge these imbalances, even in animated films. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think Velvet and Veneer's species, whatever it truly is, plays a crucial role in shaping their morally questionable actions?
