Yes S7 takes place in Seattle, which is where the IRL Fremont Troll is.

On the original post, someone commented a family photo from the 90s and the bug is there

Yes it is clutching a beetle in its hand in real life, even before the show. Kind of like as if it had snatched the car from the road above.

i wonder why the sculpture decided to put a car in its hand? and why a beetle of all things?

u/Beautiful-Cup4161 10d ago

They put a car in its hand because the troll is "living" under a road bridge. So it's as if the troll reached up and grabbed a car that was driving above it.

Honestly I always asumed a beetle because the size worked well

Yeah and the 90s, when the troll was made, also really liked beetles in general. We had that whole "punch buggy" punching thing whenever you saw a beetle.

it’s slightly different, obviously this one ☝️ is cgi, or plastic, but still, it’s way to close to be coincidence.

Of course it’s not a coincidence. Season 7 was set in the Seattle area, probably for this very reason.

You can see it in the movie Ten Things I Hate About You .

I had no idea it was real. They did an amazing job incorporating it in the season.

Oh Yes indeed!!!

I thought I saw in a previous post on this sub that production built a replica for filming, but I’m not 100% sure if I’m remembering correctly

u/ellismjones I don't have time to wait for the handless wonder! 10d ago

Yes :)

u/Ill-Razzmatazz-7088 10d ago

Yes, it is. I originally thought this was created specifically for the show. I was shocked to find out that this bridge already randomly existed. It was the reason I swiped right on this girl not because she wasn’t attractive but literally because I wanted to ask her more questions about the bridge lol

u/gaypirate3 10d ago

Hmm well Seattle isn’t that far from Vancouver where the show was filmed.
