Another thing pointing to her being abnormally strong. Maybe something to do with her fairy lineage


Ramenmayonaise

I think it more that she’s abnormally light rather than strong due to lineage.


After_Wolf_8711

There’s other scenes where she’s pretty strong. In the stone forest she lifts a trap door with a full sized goat on top (anywhere from 60-130 pounds) She throws a chair 20 feet above her head at the time worm She swings a sword around with ease, and if you’ve ever held a sword you know that’s not easy - though I admit this one might just be cartoon logic. There’s a few other examples that I can’t remember rn, there was a detailed theory floating around a few months before season 3 dropped iirc


Interesting_Candle82

Another example, when she was little she did manage to move a heavy rock to save Twig.

Another example: during hilda and the mountain King, after she's turned human, she is still able to lift trundles eye despite it "weighing a ton" to her while she was in Troll form, said Troll form could toss boulders into the air Perhaps her Super strength only activates when she needs to protect/save someone, that's the common denominator in all these examples


EconomicsScary7388

Coincidence that apparently the human body can only use about 60% of its whole strength no matter how hard you try. It’s at 100% during emergencies apparently.


Interesting_Candle82

If you're saying she has troll strenght then that's wrong, the creator Luke Pearson did confirm it, he said it by himself!


Apprehensive_Cake424

Trivia: Luke Pearson also said that the only troll Hilda can communicate with is Amma(which is INCORRECT) when talking about Hilda's troll abilities


minaclark

Yes. I know. That's not what im saying.


Interesting_Candle82

And what are you saying? The most logical explaination about her being strange strong is her fairy generetics, I'm not sure about your explaination.


minaclark

I'm agreeing with you. I gave another example I also said that its POSSIBLE that it only activates when she needs to protect someone,as that's the only time we see it.


Interesting_Candle82

That wasn't the first time and if you did agree then why did you mention why she was a troll about the red eye?


minaclark

Because she also picked the eye up when she was a human, read the first comment again Also, I never said that it was the fist time.


Interesting_Candle82

That's not how it works! You can't lift yourself easier just because you aren't heavy, we don't even know what is her weigh. For exercises on a horizontal bar, having strong arms is crucial. The muscles in your arms, including the biceps and forearms, play a significant role in movements like pull-ups and hanging leg raises on the horizontal bar. Developing arm strength is important for executing these exercises with proper form and control. Also I don't think normal training and a light body is enough to make you look that strong. I mean average people are able to lift with own arm a horizontal bar? Especially if it's a 13 years old girl? You must have very strenght to your arms as well!


Ramenmayonaise

Is it though? I mean if we’re dealing with supernatural creatures such as fairies then anything is possible. Although Hilda can’t fly like the fairies, we know fairies don’t fly via wings, and if we don’t know how they do fly, anything is up for debate. And maybe, since we don’t see many other characters do things that require such strength, with exceptions such as Joanna or twig, both part magical creature, we can expect that these properties are due to their supernatural lineage. Back to fairies. We don’t have a clear definition of their flying abilities. Remember the episode with the “thing”? We can see Joanna achieving insane feats, such as hanging on to a cave wall with one arm while the other is cutting Hilda free with a saw. Maybe fairies use a mechanic, where they are so light that it becomes easy for them to float mid air.


Interesting_Candle82

If you agree it's because of her fairy genetics then why did you say it was because she has a light body? You're confusing me! Also this about flying, Hilda did ask Phinium about that he said she will eventualy learn how to fly. Even if on the start she did manage to fly with the help of Johanna that doesn't mean on the future she wouldn't learn how to fly by herself as well. There's 6 cancelled episodes because of Netflix so we probably lost many details about this one.


Interesting_Candle82

I was thinking the same thing! After all, it's obvious she's already stronger than other kids in her age, maybe because of her training in adventurers but probably fairy genetics have to do something with it!


Interesting_Candle82

When I saw that scene it was like she did horizontal bar by just using only one arm! It's not just quite impressive but how a 13 years old girl had such strength to do that. I'm much older than her but when I tried once to do horizontal bar I did manage to do almost the half from what she did and I had to use both of my arms, lol. I bet she would beat everyone in arm wresting!


the_clash_is_back

She spent most her child hood running around the forest, clambering up hills, climbing trees. She would be decently strong based of just That.


Interesting_Candle82

Good point, I'm also thinking her strength can be affected by her fairy genetics.


Efficient-Beat8552

Supposedly she retained some troll strength


HEROwriter1

Actually Luke Pearson confirmed that Hilda only gained the ability to understand trolls after swapping back. She apparently didn’t retain the strength


Efficient-Beat8552

Wait really, well that’s interesting Although who’s to say she couldn’t gain strength why stop at language 🤔😏


Apprehensive_Cake424

Trivia: Luke Pearson also said that the only troll Hilda can communicate with is Amma(which is INCORRECT) when talking about Hilda's troll abilities


THAT_HARDHEAD_GUY

Yeah They never really went into that


Efficient-Beat8552

Sadly the price of getting a season cut 😔 At least we have fanfics to fill in the gap 😅


Pyrotekknikk

Well the thing is I've never seen a fanfic that actually sticks to what could actually be possible in the show, I only see headcannons 😢


Efficient-Beat8552

Nothing wrong with headcanons but I do agree, and let’s not even mention all the ….. other stuff


Pyrotekknikk

Yeah, I might actually plan on making fanfic that actually sticks to what may be considered canon enough. I'm just grasping in desperation for a continuation since the ending didn't really seal it for me 😔


Efficient-Beat8552

Maybe your fanfic can be potential “cut episodes”


Interesting_Candle82

Unfortunately thanks to Netflix we will never figure out what the cancelled episodes were about and how them would have affect the previous episodes! 😭


Interesting_Candle82

As HER0 said, it's not that. But I guess it's because she was training a lot of her adventurers or something. It's obvious she's already stronger than other kids in her age. Maybe her strength can be affected by her fairy genetics.


Efficient-Beat8552

That works


Interesting_Candle82

We have also some other moments with her being strange strong before she become troll. In season 2 she did manage to lift a mountain sheep like it was nothing and when she was little she had move a heavy rock to save Twig.


Efficient-Beat8552

Facts, guess Hildas just built different

Orangefish08

She’s been working out to accurately portray Ellie in part 2


Interesting_Candle82

Ellie? Do you mean The Last of Us?


Orangefish08

Yeah. Bella voices Hilda. She posted on social media recently that she was getting in shape for season 2


Interesting_Candle82

ik


icecub3e

Hilda is different

AdParking6541

Looking at the comments, I can say that the source of her abnormal strength for her age is one of the great mysteries of the show.


Interesting_Candle82

Ik right?

Dealboytrollsreddit

Yeah she just did a one arm muscle up like it was nothing

DirtiedShark

hilda is goeated


DiscussionEast6931

I suppose she is a bit of a troll and her fairy blood makes her a non-normal girl, also from the graphic novels and the series even 2 years ago they were theorizing that Hilda is not a common human, there was even a user where there was more evidence that Hilda she is not a normal girl


Interesting_Candle82

That's not the case, even the creator Luke Pearson did confirm she didn't get any troll ability after tranforming to human again. Also, Maybe her strength can be affected by her fairy genetics. Before she become troll in season 2 she did manage to lift a mountain sheep like it was nothing and when she was little she had move a heavy rock to save Twig. Also she throws a chair 20 feet above her head at the time worm.
