I think the beautiful thing about the Broppy relationship is how they impact one another.
Branch’s impact on Poppy is the most obvious in the movies because he’s the one who teaches her to calm down and listen.
But what I think people overlook is the fact that despite her flaws, Poppy never gave up on Branch. Because as cute as they are now, there was a time when Branch was actually pretty cruel to her (ie. Putting her down, smashing her custom made invitations for him in front of her face, mocking her ideals, etc) and probably had been treating her like that for years before movie #1.
Everyone else had given up on him, basically deeming him as a lost cause, but Poppy never stopped trying. Yes Branch got on her nerves and hurt her feelings, and as far as she knew he would just throw her invitations away afterwards. Yet despite that she still put in the effort to make him custom invitations and genuinely want him to be there.
And even though he never dared express it, those efforts meant something to him.
Like we love Branch, but I don’t think we give Poppy enough credit for her role in Branch’s life. He was unkind (to put it lightly) to her for years, but despite that she never held any resentment towards him and still felt that he deserved to be happy. And by that incredible persistence, she worked her way into his heart.
See, Branch is a character who is completely used to tragedy and people he loves leaving in his life. So that’s partially why he pushed Poppy away and treated her so poorly. But despite that, Poppy was always THERE. She was with him when literally nobody else was. She was naive, optimistic and annoying, but she was there. Always putting the effort to be his friend, and the only one who had any sort of faith in him. He may have been isolated, but because of Poppy he was never truly alone. And even if it irked him, he still appreciated that.
And when somebody sticks with you literally no matter what, it’s not surprising that he fell more than a little bit in love.
As for Poppy, she’s slowly becoming aware that she can be a bit much sometimes. She always wants the best for her people but she doesn’t always know how to do that. Branch, even if originally rude about it, has always been able to give it to her straight. And even if he pretended not to care, he still had her back when it mattered the most. And after number one, it looks like he has her back more than ever while still being able to be the voice of reason. Which yes, Poppy definitely needs.
(Gah I wish I could put more pictures to elaborate my point but y’all get it.)
Anyway. They’re not perfect characters, but they are perfect for each other. Branch supports Poppy but gives it to her flat out. Meanwhile Poppy too supports Branch and is stubborn enough to stick by him, even when he’ll intentionally and/or unintentionally push her away. And that’s just gorgeous.

I would like to give an honest opinion: I completely understand that Trolls 3 is a children's film designed completely with the idea of entertaining the whole family and approaching serious themes in a lighter way, but although I love what they made with Branch's trajectory In this film, I think there were some moments where the jokes were unnecessary and were clearly there to cover up more serious themes, an example of this: Branch's grandmother's death and how it affected his life
I honestly think that her absence would be a topic that would be more prominent in the film and that it would later be something that would affect the brothers and their decisions not to return after years.
But unfortunately this doesn't happen, in all her mentions we see little jokes that cover up the true weight of the loss, including the scene where the brothers discover that she is already gone.
Clay, John, and Bruce are visibly shaken upon hearing the news, but the film quickly covers it up with Clay's innocent question, who was completely lost to what he had just heard.
Another example of this is when Branch tries to comfort Viva about her fear of taking risks, the joke about not needing to wear pants seemed unnecessary to me and prevented Branch from relating the trauma to more serious events in his past, such as the fact that in no moment none of the brothers asked about Branch's colors, let's face it Poppy had every reason not to recognize Branch from Brozone, he was completely different when he was a baby and by the way he wore glasses (ok that was funny).
I know that the years are changing a lot in the way the media influences children, but if we compare the way Branch's trauma is addressed in the first film with the way it is described in the third we see a significant difference.

I’m sorry but it’s absolutely hilarious and yet adorable how the series handles Broppy’s relationship. First we get them traveling together as rivals (which was a bit more one- sided on Branch’s part) before slowing learning how to work together and to change for the other. Also it’s heavily implied Branch has an underline crush on Poppy. Then we get True Colors, and everyone thinks “okay they’re in love now”.
Some people/audience members are on board, others not so much. BUT THEN it turns out that the “I love you” they say to each other was a PLATONIC love confession. Like “you’re my friend, and I value you.” Which is still sweet, but was unexpected. (Though it does explain why the writers decided to put another platonic love confession scene between Bridget and Poppy. Yeah, I get it now)
So they just go through the journey as bffs who have feelings for each other but won’t say anything. And again, they learn how to work and grow together as a team and make the necessary changes to benefit the other. And then FINALLY we get the romantic love confession.
But it doesn’t stop there, oh no. Now we get adventure #3, this time with them as a full on couple. And they are actually really cute. Actually the film doesn’t focus that much on their relationship but we see hints of how they are as a couple.
Poppy is still all over the place but she’s much less in her own head and far more open to listening and being a good girlfriend.
Branch on the other hand is still occasionally getting exasperated by her energy but this time also has an appreciation for it. Also he learns to open up to her a little more and she’s there to listen and accept him with open arms. (Bonus points to their flirty dynamic because wow. They were adorable here.)
And it’s ONLY THEN (7 years after the first film) when they get their first on screen kiss.
Anyway. In conclusion: Trolls is the slowest slow burn I have ever seen in a Dreamworks trilogy.

I'm very new to the Trolls fandom but I'm not sure if I will get over the whole "I have been by your side from the moment we met. And you've been by mine. Let's give each other some credit here." "Right. I'm sorry. Thank you." "You're welcome." As if this is not he most wholesome and healthy relationship I have ever seen? And portrayed in children's media? Like hello? Are you kidding? Ugh! Stab in the heart everytime - I could cry. Oh god I am crying. Damn.

Trolls World Tour vs Trolls Band Together
I had the idea of an au fanfiction. If Barb had won, taken over the world, the troll leaders including Poppy turned into rock zombies. But enough of each tribe escaped with the help of sympathetic rock trolls to start a rebellion. Floyd never got captured. But BroZone still gets back together, to save Branch. Is blood thicker and their bond stronger than the power of 6 strings? I mean the powerchord is of hard rock, and the family harmony can shatter diamond. What’s a harder rock than diamond?
