Many are saying is Truls the new Waldner? What do you think?
Certainly, that is, in terms of innovativeness and willingness to use unusual strokes in high level tournaments.
But, as BRS said, a few more years of winning said high level tournaments before Truls can truly be the new Waldner.

People used to call Waldner the Mozart of table tennis. There was something about Waldner at his peak that was truly special. He was a once in a generation master of the game. For Truls to earn that accolade he'll have to win some important tournaments (as others have said), but he'll have to do more than just win - he'll have to demonstrate that 'something special' that set Mozart apart from Salieri.
I think comparing Truls to Mozart is way premature - maybe, for now, he's the new ABBA?

He beat Aruna and Jonghoon. That's no grounds to disrespect ABBA like that

Boney M then
Rasputin, Daddy Cool, a solid version of Sunny, Mary's boy child? Come on
Maybe if he wins silver tomorrow he could be considered alongside some one-hit wonders
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Lol,no.

And what you say now?
I think he is really talented. Of course he also got a bit lucky to not face a Chinese and an injured Timo boll in the semi finals but he is 19 and probably still will get better.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Truls is 19 years old, sometimes plays the power game with crazy fast counter loops FZD-style. And then mixes things up with extreme variation (chop blocks, wide angle low over the net side spin returns, etc). So he is really unpredictable. Add to that what seems to be great mental strength. Lets hope he can keep healthy and improve stability.Many are really talented. For example, LYU or WCQ. My impression when I see LYU is like, wow, that is so obviously hugely beautiful (and also kind of physical), but when I see TM, I think more like, wow, that is bat-shit crazy (also kind of mental). Well, that's my impression anyways...
