@@jadedawes2556 "always the intention" and where was the foreshadowing of that? When has hiccup or anyone of the characters ever said "we need to get rid of the dragons soon" where was the hinting that the dragons might go into the hidden world at? Exactly. HECK even dean deblois confirmed in an interview that this was not how the third movie was going to be. Originally there was no grimmel but there was drago and he actually turns good and helps hiccup. The dragons don't even go into the hidden world. And even in the books there is forshadowing. However the shows and movies are nothing like the books. The only similarity is that the characters have the same names. In the books all the dragons were able to go into the hidden world(there wasn't even a world they literally went south and disappeared into the sea) because all of them could camouflage and had gills to breath underwater. Meanwhile the dragons from HTTYD like the speed stinger, cavern crasher and so many more that cannot leave their island for obvious reasons would die. Not to mention unlike the books, literally no dragon in the movies knows where the hidden world is. Heck hiccup and astrid had to use stormfly to find the hidden world and even then it was by accident so imagine how many other dragons around the world trying to find it would struggle. I do think hiccup leaving toothless could have been epic if it was done nicely and had previous planning in the other movies if they had "done this from the beginning" personally I don't buy this excuse since many directors and writers have used this excuse even though it's obvious they had no idea what they were doing *cough* Game of Thrones *cough* I would have appreciated it if the third movie the dragons leaving to the hidden world was a global event somehow and not just the dragons of Berk leaving because there are millions of dragons outside of Berk and which dragons leave? Only the dragons of Berk. Other nests of dragons have their own alphas and while toothless was able to take his group to the hidden world, like I said before every other alpha and normal dragon had no idea where it is. not to mention Berk is left defenseless since their dragons are gone and the warlords could send a scout, see they don't have dragons, and use their captured dragons to attack Berk easily. Somehow that didn't happen for some reason but anyways this is my rant and there are so many more issues it's still far from over but I will stop here

Y’all. Can we just talk about something real quick. So You’re telling me, that in the actual ancestral home of Dragonkind, there wasn’t already an alpha? Like, not even an “in charge placeholder” type dragon? I mean, toothless quite literally waltzed in there, perched on a rock and every dragon there automatically established him as the alpha, without any prior knowledge of him at all. We’re talking about an absolutely unknown dragon here, alpha or no, and there’s just zero resistance, he didn’t even really introduce himself, and certainly didn’t prove himself worthy.

I know I am like 1 year late, but Toothless didn't have to prove himself again. He already did once in the second movie. "Every nest has it's queen, but this is the king of all dragons." - Valka. This is what she said about the Bewilderbeast, but Toothless defeated Drago's alpha and that made him the king and I'm assuming all of the dragons or at least most of them loyal to him. That's probably why he didn't have to introduce himself. It's just my opinion though.

Sure the bewilder beast was there- and maybe he had become their alpha and simply stepped down in toothless’ presence- but that’s not stated or shown at all. The Mary Sue armor in the third movie is not good storytelling. We shouldn’t have to sit back and guess as to why Toothless was selected king outside of “it’s toothless”. A small moment of the bewilderbeast literally stepping down and bowing and having all the dragons look upon toothless in confusion a moment before bowing would have done wonders.

I have a lot of issues with the film too, but yeah one of the things I hated the most (besides revealing the biggest anticlimactic conclusion to whether or not Toothless was the last of his species and why) was that they A) destroyed the messages the first films had (think of Hiccup’s outro narration from the second film; “We may be small in numbers, but we stand for something bigger than anyone in the world can put against us. We are the voice of peace, and bit by bit, we will change this world. They may have armies and armadas, but we have our dragons!” To the conclusion of the third movie; “I was wrong, humans and dragons can never live in peace because there will always be bad people who are gonna want to kill dragons so it’s best that none of us live together in harmony. Just leave, you’ll be safer that way”), along with Hiccup and Toothless being perfectly capable of doing stuff and being badass despite both being disabled, and B) that they ruined Toothless’ character completely and named “domestication” (I’m sorry but he’s Hiccup’s FRIEND, not his dog) and “instincts” (to breed, apparently) as excuses to turn him into a creepy, slobbering dog- version of himself. The Light Fury was a boring plot device with an even more boring design, but at least she was sleek, cunning and cat- like; like Toothless used to be.

The fact that they just got rid of all dragons seemed really unnecessary to me, especially since it seemed like such a good ending when the lightfury finally started trusting hiccup. For me hiccup kind of got across like: It's better for my dragon if I let him go, so instead of just me losing mine, how about they all leave? It also ruined things for me a bit when toothless and all other dragons just left so easily! After all that they've been through are you telling me than NONE of the dragons bonded so strongly with their human that they wouldn't want to leave? NONE of them? So much for that unbreakable bond and loyalty from the first 2 movies...

@annakarakoleva8533

2 жыл бұрын

I know I am 1 year late, but Hiccup was saying his goodbye to Toothless and the rest of the vikings decided to do the same, he never told all of the dragons to leave, he was letting only Toothless go. And no one said that it wasn't hard for the dragons to leave their humans or that they didn't want to stay, but they were going to be safer. Plus Toothless is their king so they are loyal to him and respect him. And before someone says that they could've fought to stay together, they did. But there was always going to be someone trying to destroy what they have accomplished - the progress they have made between dragons and humans. And they do have an unbreakable bond. Take for example Toothless and Hiccup - at the end of the last movie they meet each other again after years, yet they still have so much love for each other. Also, I agree that it would've been a good ending if the Lightfury had stayed there and the dragons wouldn't have left, but I feel like this ending is better, because it sends a message that people need to change and become better to deserve something so incredible. This is just my opinion though.

If you read the books you will understand a bit better the movie's ending. The two stories are nothing alike, however, back before the third movie was even underway, it was stated they'd end the series like the books. I highly recommend the books. They are beautifully written, the characters are solid and they are very funny yet deeper than even the movies. Especially hiccup and toothless' bond. :) That said, I love the movies as their own story.

Ya'll are gonna tell me not one dragon stood up and was like, "I'm not leaving. I'll fight Toothless it I have to." Not one of those many dragons bonded so much with their rider that they refused to step foot off the island? UNREALISTIC!!!

Exactly! And although Toothless was dependent on Hiccup until the 3rd movie, all the other dragons stayed with their riders by pure choice. They saw that this relationship was beneficial to both parties and that is why they stayed. And this beneficial relationship bloomed into beautiful friendship and loyalty, why would they give all of that up just to live in some sparky cave with no natural sunlight, away from their natural habitat and their friends(the vikings)? Make it make sense.

It's like they were fighting others to get power over the dragons so they could do whatever they wanted with them. Not that Hiccup loved the dragons and wanted to coexist with them, and fight for them. The "sending them away" felt kind of like an abuse of power. Because wouldn't dragons want to explore the world? If anyone has watched the TV show you know that how they interact with the wilderness is much more in depth. If the cavern was what they were designed for, then as a species they wouldn't have left. And as we already know, they are thinking beings with opinions. So there is NO WAY 100% of them would want to live there for the rest of their lives.

I watched it today because I just got traumatised from watching it for the first time , the light fury feels so much like giving up better ideas to please the kids in the cinema, the villain wasn't really nescessary I really felt like it missed the greatest strenght of the first movie wich was that the whole plot was not defeating the bad guy but there was much much deeper meaning behind it. There really is no saving the series thankfully we have all the other movies and tv series (except with new ones in recent times with awful ... everything idk why it happened it's a disgrace). The thing that bugged me the most is as you said the ''out of character'' part, first of all why they kept going to the bad guy getting hurt and running away all the time it felt frustraiting second of all the elephant in the room Toothless being horny out of his mind for some badly design female version of him and just leaving Hiccup and not coming back to him like he never was there, when I watched the first and second movie it just felt so right and so complete , in under two hours they really made a masterpiece in all aspects but the third movie just feels violating and disrespectful I honesty wish it was never made and we were still waiting for it to be done to this day so maybe they'll come up with better plot, such a waste to one of a kind series....

There’s a lot of issues with httyd 3, one of them being the concept of the hidden world. What about dragons that can’t fly? Would they like ride with other dragons or just fall into the hole and die? Also, it’s impossible that all dragons would get along. They would kill each other, eat each others eggs and it would just be a massive battle royale. There’s so many different dragons too! Would there be a snowy part of the hidden world for snow wraiths, a water part for sea dragons, a sandy part for sandbusters, a volcano for eruptodons and a vanaheim copy for the senitels? And buffalords who doesn’t want to leave their place, what about them? Dreamworks really didn’t think this through.

@Everyone is WRONG I know right?? There is no way in hell the entirety of dragons just disappeared in this watery shit hole. It also bothers me a lot that they claim it's the safest spot in the world, yet the light fury was captured by Grimmel before, even thou she lived there - meaning the dragons go up to the surface once in a while; which is also further proven by Toothless and his family chillin in some shore on the ending of the third movie. They absolutely did not bother to explain the hidden world to the audience, they could not even give a reason why the vikins SHOULDNT be able to move in there; this is just some poor writing

What's even more dumb is that they make it sound like EVERY single entire dragon in the world went to the Hidden World. The setting is set in Scandinavia which is just one part of the whole world. I guess all the Scandinavian dragons went to the Hidden World but what about dragons that are not even living in the Scandinavian region. Let's go back to 2nd film and point out Drago: Stoick called him a stranger from a strange land, even though they never flat out say where Drago is from we can easily tell he's from a more Southern, warmer and exotic land nowhere near the cold Scandinavian region because of his tanned skin, dreadlocks and accent. Also the art book said the sun emblem on his belt is meant to show he's from a warmer climate. Remember what Drago said? He said his village was burned and massacred by dragons when he was just a child. If Drago's village is in a completely different region nowhere near the one this series is set in then it's pretty obvious that there are dragons living in other areas of the world. Also it sounds like those dragons were flat out merciless. Hell we don't even know what sort of dragons they were. They could be some species we haven't seen yet that are not native to cold regions and actually have a taste for human flesh or are just flat out evil. Are we just gonna ignore that there are probably still loads of dragons living outside the Scandinavian region and some of them are probably still untamed going around massacring villages and making people go through the same trauma Drago went through and flat out started his dark path and sooner or later it's gonna happen to someone else and history repeats itself?

@@robonaught I agree except for the "those southern dragons may be evil" part. If you look at the start of the 1st httyd movie it kind of looks like what Drago described: Dragons burning down the village, looting food, being responsible for torn of limbs of the people there and yes, also killing hundreds of them, even if not shown in the movie. I don't think that there are evil dragons, this was also said by Valka in the 2nd movie btw. Maybe it's another dragon queen that made them do this, maybe the human dragon relationships became more and more hostile as each partie was trying to survive.

I do agree with you and with what the video talked about. I had thought of a similar ending to what was described but adding how close the gang is and keeping the villain in. Only add a reason to his behavior like they were building a relationship with dragons but Night Furies came in and freed the dragons believing that they were captured. They end up killing some people including someone important to the villain and begins his vendetta against Night Furies but hunts them down without dragons at his side. This would make him a creative thinker and manipulater to find ways to kill Night Furies which wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility due to Hiccup injuring Toothless in the first movie.

Josie Kingdom Hiccup's friends honestly just felt like background characters which is CRAZY, because they're supposed to be important

Canonically, speaking form the themes of the series, I don't understand why Toothless would love the Light Fury. Toothless was always shown to have almost human-like intelligence, being a deep and empathetic being. The Light Fury was just something that looked like him that he found pretty. If he had gotten to know her and seen a depth within her that reflected his own, I'd understand; but instead, he falls for her instantly at first sight and desperately does everything dragonly possible to get with her. Even with Astrid and Hiccup, as cliche as their relationship was (being that the male and female lead fall in love because they're a male and female lead), they bonded through their love of dragons and solving problems for their people. To me, the Light fury was just a shallow instinct driven homewrecker. She did save Hiccup's life in the end, but that was it, and he had saved her first as well as being a close friend of Toothless. Even if the writers say she shares the deep sense of empathy that Toothless has, we should get to see that for ourselves instead of 'Dude trust me'. At the very least, the love theme should have been one of "You're like me on the inside, not the outside, and that's why I can love you." Looking Cloudjumper, he and Valka bonded and we got a sense of depth within him after he gently interacted with baby Hiccup and showed a harmless curious nature to Valka, seemingly understanding that she was his mother and had no intention to harm him. Yes she had a weapon, but he was by her offspring and she halted as he stepped away and focused on her instead. The Light Fury immediately ran away from or attacked any human that came near her. Yes she was wild and had been captured by humans, but she didn't give off a deep or gentle vibe unless around Toothless. Her fear and disdain for humans seemed simply from a wild animal rather than an abused animal. She jumped to conclusions when she threw Hiccup from Toothless' back instead of observing to see if he was in danger after having seemingly been following the hundreds of dragons being peacefully ridden for a while, which is arguably justifiable in the sense that she was looking out for him, but Toothless kissed the ground she walked on so much that he just smiled at her and shrugged it off. His best friend that nursed him back to health, that he risked his life for multiple times, that he took an alpha position to protect, was nearly killed by a dragon he just met, and. he. just. smiled! What's his motivation for Hiccup? Best friend who spared his life, let him fly again, and freed him from his enslavement. What's his motivation for the Light fury who had just almost killed this best friend? She's pretty and the very first Fury he's seen as an adult. Every other dragon that's ever threatened Hiccup, Toothless has dealt with, no matter what the odds against him were. This thing could instantly crush an opponent of his size with one step or has an army of hundreds at its disposal? No problem. This thing is pretty? BIG problem.

The best analysis of the issue at hand. I have not watched it yet... but I will likely not like it if I do as I find the idea of the dragons having to hide away because of a few bad eggs, as we always will have in the world, wanted to hunt the dragons. Not like Berk couldn’t keep on training to fight against such problems. And besides as said by the video after relying on the dragons for 1-2 decades I am sure their skills in other areas have started to fade due to what they had in spades with the dragons. As Berk seemed to be a place of muscle to start, then it was a place of working with dragons. So the muscle just changed hands even if it is depicted as the Vikings still being strong. So it would be hard for Berk to survive without the dragons, with the dragons being around for so long, and the older generation that was the guides, likely passed away so that knowledge was no longer around. Not that Berk couldn’t adapt again it just seems like a hollow ending from what I have heard.

@@cursedimageseveryday5559 That's the problem. Toothless adored the Lightfury because she's pretty. Hiccup spared his life, restored his ability to fly, liberated him and all the dragons from the Red Death, and became his best friend over time. The whole series was about seeing the 'humanity' and intelligence in dragons, and defying social normality for friendship and togetherness. After everything, after growing up with Hiccup (in the second movie, Valka noted that Toothless was at a similar maturity to Hiccup at the time, meaning that he likely was or was very similar to Hiccup's mental age all along) and being his best friend for over a decade, he practically worships another dragon and is completely willing to leave Hiccup forever; and why? Because... she's pretty. He knew her for the accumulative time of a couple hours before he was ready to ditch his best friend with hardly a goodbye because he found a pretty girl (as stated in the video, he came back to Hiccup because he was caught in the hidden world and had to be rescued, which then led up to the attack by Grimmel). It would have been different if the Lightfury showed compassion and humanity and he realised that she's like him mentally, but no, she was like him physically, and that's why he was ready to completely leave his entire old life behind. What also gets me is another point in the video that not _one single_ dragon stayed behind with their trainer. Not a single one. This shows that they were all willing to give up their close friendships to essentially live wild again because, as the movie justified, there were bad humans in the world. What the heck?! That's like a person leaving their best friend because murderers exist in the world. The whole series was about working TOGETHER against bad people, uniting good people and dragons, and saving dragons from bad people TOGETHER. The whole movie was like a bad fanfic and defied nearly every theme in the series. You might know about the 'Dragons: Race to the Edge', and if you've seen it, you might recall an episode called 'Total Nightmare'. In that episode, it was believed that Hookfang heard a female Monstrous Nightmare's mating call and was willing to abandon everyone to go live with her. Everyone feared their dragon would run away too, but they never did. It was later revealed that the female's call was one of distress and Hookfang merely wanted to help her defend her eggs from a rival male who wanted to destroy them. Hookfang was still very much bonded with Snotlout, and showed sadness when he saw that Snoutlout thought he was being abandoned. In the end, Snotlout and Hookfang defeated the rival together to save the eggs, and Hookfang returned to everyone. The entire message of that episode was further affirming that friendship is stronger than natural instinct to live in the wild, and dragons aren't just some animals that run off to a potential mate to leave everything at a moment's notice. The third movie spit in the face of that episode and everything the Dragons series was built upon. We're also led to believe that, as the movie stated, 'The world believes the dragons are gone if they ever existed in the first place'. What? Every single dragon on Earth (not just Berk) saw Toothless as their alpha, and just left their homes/potential trainers to live in the hidden world? It was shown that people even far away from Berk lived peacefully with dragons, and people trained them off of Berk after seeing what the Berkians did. (I haven't seen all the episodes, but if it wasn't shown, is it really a farcry to say that other people trained dragons too?) So, this movie is telling us that those dragons just left their trainers FOREVER without context or warning because Toothless (the catalyst of this prace among humans and dragons) said so? In the end, friendships ment nothing. Every dragon left their trainers, homes, their old lives because there are wicked people in the world. This movie works good as a stand alone movie, but being the closing of an entire IP spanning over several movies and episode series? No way. The ending was horrible, and only served to say that friendship means nothing, your friendships come last when you find a potential Significant Other. The only good aspects about the movie was the music, animation, and Grimmel plot. And might I add another tidbit, why the heck was Snoutlout constantly flirting with Valka? She's old enough to be his own mother! Why did Fishlegs and the girl twin (I forget who's who) get together? She showed slight interest in the second movie, but she hit on any guy her age. In the 'Race to the edge' series, she and Fishlegs thought they accidentally married and Fishlegs was very relieved that it wasn't so. We're expected to believe that they got together because he's a guy and she's a girl? Really?

What raised my eyebrows so much was that they introduced the nightfury as a dragon that *NO ONE* has ever faced and lived that they don't even know what it looks like.

At the end of HTTYD 2, Hiccup says this: *"We are the voice of peace. And bit by bit, we will change this world."* If you are the voice of peace and bit by bit, will change this world, then why did you send your dragon friends away to The Hidden World? That isn't changing the world; that's admitting that it can't be changed. You're sending the dragons away because you think humans won't be worthy of them and won't change to be. Why not strive to maintain peace and keep the dragons, just keeping Toothless along with the Light Fury? Or, since you have the friendship of Toothless, an alpha, why don't you give moving to the Hidden World a shot? They can't be unwelcoming to humans there, as Toothless would convince them to let you stay.

Personally, after watching the movie when i did, the big thing that bugged me really is the villain. He definitely is a baseless rip off of the 2nd movie's antagonist, but he was way less interesting than Drago. With Drago, the producers were able to link Drago to Stoic and make him a villain with essence. Something we can believe that he truly is a villain deserving of the role. The 3rd movie's antagonist is introduced out of nowhere and doesn't really do anything that makes him feel dangerous. Just cause he comes out of the dark with some moody lighting doesn't make him a good villain. He is one of the biggest waste of potential in this movie.

In my opinion, all Hiccup has done by giving up completely was dooming the Dragons should they decide to return. You can't understand and learn to co-exist with something that faded into myth damn it! By having the dragons fade to myth, he insured that when they return, human kind might wipe them out completely.

Well, given that the full line in the movie is "people believe the dragons are gone, if they ever existed at all", I had assumed that that was describing two groups of people, those that did live in dragon territory and knew they were real and thought they went extinct, and those that lived outside it and had likely never even seen a dragons, just heard tales of them from 'crazy' northmen.

Before even watching this video: I disliked how big a plot hole the last movie left. There was likely plenty of dragons above the hidden world who were just well... screwed. They couldve easily moved underground, the entirety of the inhabitants of berk could’ve fit. In my eyes there was zero reason to seperate hiccup and toothless. They could’ve easily moved below ground and kept saving dragons. Another thing: they also broke the entire message of the first movie that dragons and viking could get along by saying “wait nevermind”. Which im guessing is what this video is about.

@WillFanofMany How to Train Your Dragon is about challenging the natural order. Dragons were burning the Berkian's village, stealing their livestock, likely killing many of them in the first movie - but nevertheless, they learned to get along. Why would that not happen with the Hidden World? Don't you think it would make a fantastic arc, make the story go full circle? In the first movie, Vikings welcome the dragons into their homes. And if in the final movie the dragons gave the Berkians shelter when their own homes were taken, that would be a fantastic and heartwarming ending that fir with the themes. Besides, talking in a purely logical sense now, why, **why**, would Toothless not just use his seemingly limitless alpha powers (which honestly is a concept I hate but it seems to be part of the movie) to get the dragons to let the Berkians stay? He literally gets them to shut off their life preservation instincts and go into cages, for a random hoe he found the day before no less, and you're saying he'd be unable to stop dragons from attacking the Berkians?

​@WillFanofMany 1. "The dragons on Berk burned houses down, the dragons in the hidden world immediately skipped that and used their claws and mouths." But the Berkians ended up befriending those dragons even after (presumably) centuries of war with them. 2. "As I just said, the Hidden World is not habitable for humans, humans need a bit more than fish to actually live lives... especially in regards to physically health." In the same way that it is not habitable for dragons either. Dragons, need I remind you, which have evolved over likely millions of years to live in the open. They likely need sunlight for their circadian rhythm to work, a variety of food only accessible on the surface, and in the case of aquatic dragons large bodies of interconnected water. Putting them back there and expecting them to survive is akin to throwing humans in the ocean, just because we evolved from marine creatures. This is a huge plothole in the movie that doesn't stand up to scrutiny, and also a big fuck-you to the meticulous and relatively realistic world of the original HTTYD. EDIT: Also, look up "Inuit" 3. "The 2nd film was about the dangers of abuse, Toothless forcing the dragons to allow strangers to live with them would set him down a path similar to types like the Red Death and the Dark Bewilderbeast. " I don't get how you draw this parallel. The Red Death was a tyrannical leader in her own right, eating the dragons that didn't bring her back food. This had absolutely nothing to do with letting 'strangers' live in the nest. The Bewilderbeast was raised and constantly abused by Drago, who used it to help with his plans for world domination; again, I fail to grasp what the parallel here is. 4. "Toothless ordering the dragons into cages was part of his plan, not to mention Light Fury was the Queen of dragons at that point, so the dragons instincts were to protect both their king and queen by following along." How did she become queen? Where is this explained? Why would the dragons give two hoots in hell about her when all she has done is put them into risk by drawing their alpha away at a time of need? If they just do it because it is their instinct, then that is no better than the dragons coming back to the Red Death's nest without food, knowing they would be eaten - Toothless' decision to give up the dragons made no sense, and it is an insult to the dragon's intelligence that they follow this order. 5. "The dragons on Berk know vikings, the ones in the Hidden World do not. The dragons on Berk listen to Toothless, the ones in the Hidden World barely did." Again, the dragons on Berk were in a mortal war with the Vikings until they started to mutually understand each other. There being other dragons who already trust the Berkians would be a huge bonus, as it is all but confirmed that dragons can communicate with each other. While it may be difficult, it is what the main theme of the original movies is about - learning to live with others, overcoming challenges, and never giving up.

This is why I think the ending of the HTTYD book series works much better than in the films. Yes, in both the films and the books, the dragons all leave, however, in the books, the vikings aren't fighting the dragons, the dragons are, in a way, kinda the vikings pets and have been their pets for hundreds of years. And, whilst intelligent, they are very selfish creatures with little regard for any life outside their own. Whilst Hiccup can appreciate them and speak their language (literally), the other vikings exploit the dragons for their own desires and treat them rather horribly. The books weren't about going against nature so to speak, they were going against the vikings pre conceptions about being superior to dragons. This all comes to a head in the last books where the Dragons actively rebel against the humans and how horribly they've been treated, leading to them eventually leaving (much slower though because you can't really migrate a whole species away from the over world in 2 minutes) The vikings are actively a worst people for exploiting the dragons, and the dragons become worse when faced with the vikings, so the whole "we don't deserve the dragons yet" kinda thing works much better.

I was REALLY hoping they weren’t going to do this. The whole thing with dragons disappearing under the sea never to be seen again. That was for the books, and it was really bad that they thought they had to end the movies the same way, when the story in the movie was nothing like the story in the books. Not even remotely similar. The books were SO much darker, that world was actually broken. Those people were actually monsters. Not only that, but the same pattern had repeated itself three times over at that point, something had to change. Granted, as a book fan, they had me fangirling so hard in the cinema, hearing actual lines from the book being said in the movie, it was kind of awesome BUT it wasn’t something I actually wanted, or thought would make a good story. They were never building up to that! In the books dragons and humans had been living together for Thor knows how long, and the humans had been using dragons as pets/(slaves) all that time. When Hiccup found Toothless, he was among a whole class of boys all on a mission to retrieve themselves a dragon to train to do their bidding. They were teaching him to yell at it and be dominant over it so that it does whatever you tell it to. You weren’t even meant to speak to your dragon, even though dragons were sentient beings with their own language that Hiccup had gone to the trouble to learn. Hiccup was going to get kicked off the entire island and left to die as an outcast just for not being abusive enough to beat a dragon into submission. The whole archipelago was practically built on slavery. Even Hiccup became a slave. I think everyone on Berk became a slave. It was so bad. This ‘relationship’ between dragons and humans was way too broken to be rekindled. The dragons leaving was a good thing. In the movie it’s completely the opposite, dragons and humans have no relationship, and have not even had an attempt at one. They live in their own worlds, and fight each other when they cross paths. Hiccup was being taught that he needed to learn to fight them so that he could protect himself, because they’re horrible creatures. But he figured out that they can actually get along. The happy ending was when finally, everyone started to realise that they could get along, and live with each other instead of apart from each other, be friends, help each other out, I love that! There’s no reason why they can’t be friends, and build a word where it’s meant for all of them. They get companionship from each other, they help each other out and most of all, protect each other. It was unity. And a wonderful one. Book = slave owner and slave relationship Movie = unity and companionship Like??? Whoever thought these two concepts ought to end the same way??? I mean to say that this video is perfect, very spot on. Because the first two movies obviously did say that together they can take on any enemy, and ultimately triumph because they are so much stronger as a team. They just weren’t in a situation where they needed to be separated. The Vikings in general weren’t actually relying on their dragons so much that it was a problem, they were just making life better. The dragons didn’t feel smothered, they felt loved and had more purpose. They really only did it to end it the same way as the books. But it didn’t have the same story at all. It pretty much just makes me sad. They made up all their own stories and weren’t true to the source material, which is okay. They made their own amazing story. But they should have come up with their own amazing ending.

@WarriorBazooka

Actually when I compare Spirit to HTTYD3, I think of the two but with roles reversed. In HTTYD3, we focus on Toothless (the domesticated / tamed individual ) falling in love with a wild animal (The Light Fury ) which is the same case with Spirit, except the roles are reversed. The wild animal is our protagonist, and the tamed one is the love interest. Both have the same ending: the tamed individual goes free to live with its love in the wild. To me it works a lot more in Spirit because of the way its portrayed throughout the entire movie. We see Rain and Little Creek's relationship throughout the film. Even when she falls in love with Spirit, she's still loyal to her human companion. They have a camaraderie that we see even just by helping Spirit appreciate the people of her village: they work together to tame him. It's even shown that while Spirit has an interest in Rain from the start, Rain doesn't actually fall in love with Spirit until he's learned to respect her way of life and Little Creek first. We see Rain fly to her village and her human when its in danger, even when Spirit tries to persuade her from going towards it. She's very hesitant towards the idea of leaving her home, because of its closeness to her heart and the friends she's made. She isn't 100% with the idea of going free until Little Creek encourages her to and sets her free himself. That being said, yeah I'm totally in agreement with you. We barely see any hesitation from Toothless at all when he falls for the Light Fury, and he's willing to ditch his companion, his home, and his entire flock for her at the drop of a hat, or at least the movie frames it that way. We really only see Toothless truly hesitate for a moment when he's about to fly off on his own for the first time, and never again. Even after they defeat Grimmel, its Toothless (by looking off into the clouds) who wants to return to the Hidden World. You'd think that after two films, they'd progress the growing apart of their relationship and still make it amiable, but no, the entire third film is rushed. tldr; Rain was a better Toothless than Toothless, in the roles they had.

@WarriorBazooka

4 жыл бұрын

And I suppose I should also add onto this, but even Spirit played the Light Fury's role a lot better. Like her he was wild and untamed, and had justified reasons for being distrusting toward humans (captured from his own herd, ridden against his will in an attempt to be broken.) But unlike the Light Fury, whom Toothless and subsequently Hiccup cater to without setting any boundaries, Spirit is quickly put in his place for any unruly behavior towards Little Creek by Rain. Before he can win her affections, he must come to understand and respect their way of life as well. And for a while, he even seems content with the idea of staying in the village if it means being with Rain, but he doesn't forget where he comes from and where his family is. Spirit ultimately feels torn between staying with Rain or returning home, even after Little Creek lets him go just before the village is attacked. He wants to return to his family, to his mother. At the same time, he doesn't want to be apart from Rain, but he respects that she doesn't want to abandon her own home. I guess what also makes the dynamic between Toothless, Hiccup and the Light Fury is that Toothless sets absolutely no boundaries between what the Light Fury can and can't do to Hiccup. It's okay if she doesn't trust a human immediately, but unlike Rain, Toothless fails to lay down the line when it comes to hurting him, which does feel quite out of character for him, considering that he didn't seem keen on strangers hurting Hiccup in previous entries.

The books explore the relationship between humankind and dragonkind, the difficult process of growing up, and the loss of places and people from childhood. The line and the whole prologue makes sense with Hiccup's struggle and the bittersweetness of the story- humans can't work with dragons yet, but humans improved their relationship with the dragons, and things can change in the future. The movies... well, didn't have that framing device. Dragons couldn't talk, and the problem wasnt the corrupt society- it was lack of food, lack of space, and misunderstanding the dragons, solved through planning, tactics, and friendship. It was a story about stubbornness, dealing with change, and moving forward. "There were dragons when I was a boy", while pretty and poignant for movie Hiccup to say, was a bookend in the books, something said after years of reflection by an old man. Movie Hiccup wasn't even allowed to be shown as an old man, even at the ending. It doesn't fit the opening or closing for the other two movies either...

Agreed on the light fury thing and the idea I have not only gives her a reason to be the way she ( an actual backstory ) it also makes it where their would have been night furies in the hidden world Explanation : One direction they could have went in they could have given her skin pigmentation problem which would make her an albino night fury making it easy for humans to trap and find her which is why she is so scared of them also it would make her stand out and made her an interesting character having it be there are more night furies In the hidden world but her be the only white one or if there really had to be light she should have been the female version of a night fury extremely dangerous and poisonous to humans and other animals because in the animal kingdom the brighter and prettier the animal looks more likely it's going to kill you making her a more dangerous version of toothless having it for the the light/night fury species the male is the one that takes care of the offspring and find food at night which explains their color the female being bright and beautiful to attract a male and the male being dark to keep their babies safe, while the female is more of the dangerous protector which would also make her more vicious and cautious then the male, partly explaining why toothless is much more kind, having her design a bit more Sharp making the spikes on her back not only poisonous but painful making that the reason why humans can't ride them and if they really needed a villain the light furies could have been the dragon grimmauld was using the poison from also giving her another reason to hate and fear humans

httyd is one of the few franchises that consistently made me cry: the forbidden friendship scene, hiccup losing his leg, the flight scene at the beginning of the second movie, stoick and valka's reunion, stoick's death, hiccup being crowned. it's a franchise packed to the brim with emotion yet in the third one i felt nothing. i didn't recognize toothless, i barely recognized hiccup and astrid. toothless giving everything up for the light fury felt like such a huge betrayal. throwing everything they had gone through together away for such a bland, shallow character. they destroyed the heart of the franchise and for what? with hiccup and toothless' bond breaking so easily nothing that happens in the franchise seems to matter at all. honestly it was a slap in the face, and not in a good way. this movie failed in so many ways: the characters, the plot, the villain. i don't understand how everything fell apart this badly. it's clear they wanted to use the iconic line of the books and went against everything they had built on to do so. and the thing is- i wouldn't have minded hiccup and toothless separating, it had the potential of being really emotionally powerful, if done well. but this was so incredibly unearned, it just left me scratching my head. to me the ending of the second movie will always be the true ending, hopeful and full of love and emotion: "we are the voice of peace, and bit by bit, we will change this world."

Also what's with all these damn animated movies and absolutely NEEDING some sort of nostalgic end where multiple characters part? Why can't the squad stay together? Why does everyone hate the idea of being happy where one is?

I mean, im an emotionally unstable teen girl who had no friends at the time, but when I heard how the movie was gonna end a year or so ago (that it would end how the books started) it sent me into a deep shock and depression. I know its idealistic to have life long friends, especially from your teenage years like Hiccup had, but unlike our complicated world which has people travel and go different places entirely, their world was too tight knit, too recluse to have that issue. It would have been nice to see a friendship that stood against the world instead of a painful reminder that all my friends I struggled to get and the friendships I treasured could so easily end

@Trvrr Zbsky Of course no one 'wants' to; I literally never said that. But it happens, sometimes for the best, even if it's hard to accept. If you refuse, you'll end up holding them back. This is exactly what we see with Toothless; he was going to become the literal king of dragons. If he'd stayed with Hiccup, he would have lost that right. Once again: That's just life. Better you accept it now than to get blindsided by it later.

I believe that there are still night furies out there. In the second movie it's proven that valka has encountered at least another that is not toothless. Just because 1 guy who looks like Santa's junkie twin brother said he'd take them all out doesn't mean he did. In my head the third movie does not exist and toothless stayed with hiccup as they grew old together

Personally, I think the villain is a big part of the problem of this movie. why did we need another cookie cutter villain dude? we didn't. His presence in the movie massively dilutes the themes the series has gone with so far. the movie hints a great deal at conflict within, but Grimmel's threat takes so much screen time that there is no time to explore the themes that are actually what the movie should be about. Remove him and focus on the bond between Hiccup and Toothless and how the Light Fury's existence upsets their balance in addition to the relationship between dragons and humans in general and we have a story about things that matter. instead we got a forgettable villain who did nothing interesting. all he did was derail the themes of the film with his magic mind control serum. Also, that ending really, really came out of nowhere for me. I was taken aback at this sudden shift in everyone's minds to let everything they've built over the last 10-or-however-many-years-have-passed go for... what exactly?

He wasnt cookie cutter wtf? His premise is that he is who hiccup would have become had he killed Toothless in the forest in the first movie and received that adulation

Movies 1 and 2: *Strong bond that even an Alpha couldn’t break* 3rd movie: *Toothless leaves Hiccup for a girl he just met and had no intension of coming back* Yup, sure, those aren’t a thematic conflict at all. Also, am i the only one who hated that they chose to give us a white and diminutive version of Toothless instead of calling back to the MULTIPLE hints that there might be more Nightfurys out there. I know they maybe wanted Toothless to be “One of a kind” but I think this story would have worked a lot better if they found Toothless’ family instead to mirror Hiccup finding his family (Valka) in the second movie. The one chance they had to focus on Toothless and develop his relationship with another dragon and and they chose to make it some random dragon that the creators DIDNT EVEN NAME.

i am SO glad this video exists. when you mentioned the part where humans cannot learn to change if they dont have the dragons to coexist with, how can they change at all?? absolutely spot on. this movie took everything i loved about the first two movies and crushed it.

Honestly how to train your dragon 3 was the most forgettable of this series. I couldn't even bring my self to remember it's villain or story if my life depended on it.

Thank you so much for making this video. The third installment of How To Train Your Dragon was such a letdown for me that I felt seriously depressed for weeks after I watched it. The first movie teaches us that doing what is popular is not always right, and that doing what is right is not always popular. It teaches us to embrace our unique strengths, to appreciate the unique strengths of those around us, and to open our minds to change. The second movie teaches us bravery in the face of adversity, and to fight for what we love - the lifestyles that make us happy, and our friends and family. But what does the third movie teach us? It teaches us that when the going gets tough, just give up. Abandon what you believe in if it endangers you. Part ways with the things that make you happy in order to live a peacefully monotonous life of sameness and boredom.

It’s clear you guys take fictional movies way too seriously. We get it, you hate the third movie. It was a huge disappointment for you and that really sucks. But surely, it’s not worth anyone’s time to hate something so much that’s not even real or has that much of a major impact on anyone’s life.

11:35 I think it also draws some unintentional moral relativism into the series. First movie: don’t kill dragons they can be friends who can mutually benefit society. Second movie: don’t make dragons slaves for war? Third movie: Making your friend dragons do your chores is wrong and is slavery. So let’s release our slaves. It’s probably just me but I feel like Berk was the only place on the planet not using dragons as livestock. Berk befriended their dragon enemies and portrayed it as mutual respect. Then by the third film they (retro actively) portray themselves as the bad guys for training dragons (no toothless go... your to pure for us and society... slavery is inevitable so we must separate).

Even more outrageous is the talk (even by the writers themselves) of having to "Free" Toothless as well as the rest of the dragons. Dean DeBlois himself reffered to Toothless as being "corrupt"/impure due to being tamed (Or "domesticated", even though that's not at all how domestication works, and he forgets Toothless lived 15+ years on his own before meeting Hiccup). The artbook argues Hiccup is hoarding them to himself, while simultaneously pointing out that the dragons visit Berk to pay tribute to the alpha, and willingly choose to stay, and that the Berkians actually enjoy this way of life, cumbersome as it may seem. It's all one giant clusterfuck that spits on the entire franchise.

@@MizaT11 Indeed, the way some of those involved in the movie seemed to idealize the whole notion of "nature is only good if humans stay far away from it" contradicts the other movies so much (which idealized how dragons and humans can be better together). There is no such thing as "purity" when it comes to wild animals, they are all effected by humans, each other, and vice versa. Making those effects positive is what we should focus on, rather than outright removing all contact. Note I think the movie itself thankfully didn't give that message so strongly, but that the writers expressed those sentiments in interviews is a bit disturbing to think about. Especially given how I recall it being said in another commentary that the ending of the third movie was supposed to be a "final ride" or something like that instead of any indication that Berk and the dragons will continue to have recurring interactions (and even outright saying Toothless had forgotten about Hiccup). And the fact remains that the movie failed to adequately explain why it was so necessary for Berk to separate from the dragons (after all the threat they faced in the second movie was arguably worse than what happened in the third, yet instead of fighting they opt to leave their centuries long home after one attack). Well, maybe the holiday special will retcon some of this stuff. I'd be happy if it did.

HTTYD was my first ever fandom that i was super into, years before su. As a conservationist, i find the message that humans don't deserve dragons, and that we should separate ourselves from them completely until we 'know better' is kinda bad. Modern conservation techniques are all about integration of humans and nature, learning to live side by side peacefully. Its the most practical thing to do. like, try telling a poor indian farmer to just leave the tiger alone. Httyd3's theming is a very.. 1980s approach to conservation :/

One of my gripes is that the light fury isn't intelligent enough to earn toothless. Toothless is shown throughout all movies and series, to be the most intelligent dragon of them all, capable of not only communicating with the riders on a basic level through gestures and expressions, but also intelligent enough to bond on a level with hiccup that he broke through his own perceived limits for his sake. The light fury has done none of these things. If she was on equal intelligent level as toothless, she would have seen as she stalked and followed toothless that him and his dragons got along with his and their humans, and she'd make attempts to overcome her fear of them. This could actually become a compelling story of her struggling with letting go of her fear, if she was given the same level of intelligence as toothless. Mentally, she'd want to trust toothless and his judgment on humans, and she'd know he's right too, cause she's seen it, but she's constantly held back by the scars of her past. (I know no httyd media ever did flashbacks for dragons, but they wouldn't have to, just show various scars on her body caused by human hunting before every hesitation in her journey to warm up to them, like how they focused on toothless' tail to communicate his hesitation and limitation). That way, hiccup and the gang could also see light fury's struggle and see how she went above and beyond to conquer and overcome her own nature for toothless the way toothless overcame his own nature for hiccup, and that way it'd be more earned and more of a valid cause for toothless to have to choose. If hiccup and the light fury were on equal levels of devotion to him, it'd be a difficult choice, and either choice he'd make would be valid. But as it is, the light fury is just a wild animal, barely any intelligence there, other than warning toothless for a trap and telling him to go around it. And this makes the choice to choose her over hiccup who time and time sacrificed everything for him, so unjustified. Literally throughout the entire series, he's been depicted as 'above that'. In gift of the night fury, when the other dragons left to mate and lay eggs, toothless only left to retrieve hiccup's helmet. And yes, he's the only one of his kind, but he doesn't know that, and even if he did, wouldn't mean his mating cycle would just suddenly dissapear. He could have flown off like all the other dragons, only come home empty handed once it was over, but no, he prioritized helping hiccup. That he'd just throw all of that away for the first best dragon that even looks remotely like him just doesn't make any sense. "out of character" is the phrase for that movie. Not neccesarily a bad movie, but out of character, all of them were done dirty

I left the theater feeling empty, just like you described. I felt like I wasn't supposed to be disappointed in the movie, because it was actually really good, but at the same time, well, yeah. It's Hiccup & Toothless. Not Toothless & some chick dragon he just found. I'd much rather have had an ending without that white fury altogether, and our favourite pair staying best buds til the end, much like you. It's a shame, because they were my favorite animated movies, but now it's over forever, and we're just left with a bittersweet ending.

i thought the vikings would move to live and protect the dragons in the end of the world, the moment they showed the caves you could just IMAGINE how weird and beautiful the city would be. The art direction in HTTYD is usually amazing. The dragons are all unique, watching Berk adapt each movie to the dragons, and even their CLOTHING starts to change to look more like dragons, it all feels... natural. Which is why I have another complaint: Light Fury's design. I mean, are you kidding me? I can't believe they went with the smoother-version-of-the-male trope. Sometimes she even looks boring, even her scales are mostly gone to make her look femme-er. She could've had a design similar but just as unique as Toothless, I mean, holy crap, his design was so good everybody LOVES him, evey black cat with green eyes are compared to him, he is adorable, but powerful. The only thing I liked about her is that they didn't make her Astrid's dragon to do a double couple thing-y.

A Berkian HW village would definitely fit with the franchise's imagery without seeming over-the-top or ridiculous.

The problem with the movie saying "our world doesn't deserve you yet" is that the Berkians are the most deserving people on Earth to have dragons. If they aren't worthy of having them then no one ever will be.

I think a better point for the film to have ended in would've be something like: "yes, there will always be some people and some dragons that refuse to change, who refuse to live in peace. Some will always hate what they don't understand, and don't want to understand. But so too will there be the people who see the beauty and joy and freedom that community with dragons can bring to both species. Because for every drago bludvist and grimmel the grisly, there is also a hiccup, a toothless, and a berk who saw love and put down their hate" So basically the end point would be: community and love will always triumph over fascists/people who try to divide us, and that we shouldn't just give up even when the odds seem insurmountable and neverending

By then, as DreamWorks trailers have a habit of spoiling, the fact that they were going to separate was already pretty clear in the trailers. So I at the time was looking forward to this movie. If she was a long lost loved one of Toothless's, how would the stakes work out in which Toothless would need to leave? Would Toothless have to choose between his best friend and his old best friend whom he fell in love with? Turns out she was just a wild girl dragon, not even a female Night Fury which wouldn't have been clear to people watching the movie unless they looked up what Dean said, who had no backstory and only existed to seduce Toothless. Seeing how she made Toothless so quickly forget about his responsibility as the alpha of Berk and want to leave for the Hidden World forever really disturbed me. Even the ending scene with Hiccup and Toothless reuniting: seeing Toothless all wild and ready to attack if needed just made me uncomfortable. I just couldn't help but think something along the lines of "Dear God, what if Toothless met a female Light Fury in the first movie after he and Hiccup JUST became friends? He clearly never bothered to visit Hiccup in 10 years for goodness sakes, he definitely wouldn't have been there to save Hiccup from Hookfang."

Exactly - how are those two groups supposed to learn to live with each other if they don't even see one another?? Or is Hiccup expecting that magically humans will just go like, "ohhh booooyyy we really shouldnt abuse dragons anymore" out of the blue? Especially if he already said that people had already forgotten that dragons existed - so wtf was even the point?

What's even more dumb is that they make it sound like EVERY single entire dragon in the world went to the Hidden World. The setting is set in Scandinavia which is just one part of the whole world. I guess all the Scandinavian dragons went to the Hidden World but what about dragons that are not even living in the Scandinavian region. Let's go back to 2nd film and point out Drago: Stoick called him a stranger from a strange land, even though they never flat out say where Drago is from we can easily tell he's from a more Southern, warmer and exotic land nowhere near the cold Scandinavian region because of his tanned skin, dreadlocks and accent. Also the art book said the sun emblem on his belt is meant to show he's from a warmer climate. Remember what Drago said? He said his village was burned and massacred by dragons when he was just a child. If Drago's village is in a completely different region nowhere near the one this series is set in then it's pretty obvious that there are dragons living in other areas of the world. Also it sounds like those dragons were flat out merciless. Hell we don't even know what sort of dragons they were. They could be some species we haven't seen yet that are not native to cold regions and actually have a taste for human flesh or are just flat out evil. Are we just gonna ignore that there are probably still loads of dragons living outside the Scandinavian region and some of them are probably still untamed going around massacring villages and making people go through the same trauma Drago went through and flat out started his dark path and sooner or later it's gonna happen to someone else and history repeats itself?

I agree with you when I left the cinema I felt like something was missing.

I liked some aspects of this movie but the way they watered down Hiccup and Toothlees' relationship to that of a dude and his pet really bothered me the first and only time I watched this movie. I looked over at my boyfriend and was like "Why am I watching a dragon version of Lassie?!"

The thing i dont understand is that the message that they were trying to share in the first movies is the fact that dragons and people can live along together and that they should but in the end none of that mattered

I think the third film's ending could have worked really well, the problem for me is that it didn't feel earned. Toothless and Hickup having to deal with growing apart from each other because their lives are being pulled in different directions could have been a great a surprisingly mature way to end the series, given that this will happen in a lot of our relationships throughout our lives. The film however, didn't focus on the right things in order for that separation to feel meaningful to me

Yes, the ending was totally out of place. Though I feel guys at Dreamworks got it, and are trying to decanonize it by means of Snoggletog specials. Those specials give hope that at least Toothless' family and Astrid's one (yup we all know who is the alpha there) would live or perhaps spend time together. In the end of third movie the whole "Toothless doesn't recognize Hiccup for a while" thing is honestly strange.

Honestly I don’t even mind the fact that the dragons left. I think they handled it kind’ve poorly, but I feel like there was still some reasoning at least. The dragons themselves were always running into conflict with humans, and the fact that Hiccup finally found a place where they could be free and safe from hunters definitely impacted his decision in the end. I also think it’s important to note that Toothless wasn’t necessarily going to abandon Hiccup for the Light Fury. It’s not known as to whether he was going to come back, but I’d like to imagine he would’ve came back to Hiccup if given the chance. What I really disliked was the fact that Hiccup and Toothless had no contact from the moment they said goodbye to the last scene. They hadn’t seen each other for so long that Toothless literally didn’t recognize Hiccup. That just destroyed me. Like it makes absolutely no sense as to why they’d choose to not see each other for years. It’s sad honestly. Httyd 1 and 2 are my absolute childhood and had a huge impact on my life. In fact if it wasn’t for httyd I doubt I’d be studying animation right now. So it’s painful really that the big finale of the series is just so ...meh? Like not that bad but not that good either. Oh well. At least we got two outstanding movies and 3 with outstanding animation at least.

Maybe they didn't visit so they are sure their history with dragons was lost to the world so they could visit without worrying about others following them to kill the dragons and the trip would be worthless if Toothless wasn't on the surface to see their ship. If you look closely tho Hiccup looks dissapointed for a second before the fog reveals the dragons like he did it multiple times and was about to give up and be the last time he does that trip since it's just a painfull memory at that point.

It was ONLY 10 FRIKKEN YEARS! Yet you mean to tell me Dragons somehow became myth in that ridiculously small timeframe?! I call BS.

My two cents on the situation, if you oppose any opinions I have that's fine. Beware the spoonful heaps of words, but I've been meaning to express my thoughts on this movie for a long time. I also have an alternate plot inspired from the potential ideas from this video if you are interested: It's always kinda hurt inside how easily Toothless went with ditching his extremely close friend for a girl, a girl which was lowkey a literal plot device for the villain. This video I agree with a lot as their bond was unbelievably close. Heck, even in the spinoff movie "Gift of the Night Fury" Toothless literally breaks an auto tail fin Hiccup made because he wanted to stay by Hiccup, so to see Toothless almost instantly adjust and leave Hiccup behind when he makes a new auto tail fin just feels so off. And I mean yeah, agreed that the ending was satisfying for the movie stand alone, but unfulfilling for the whole series. You could also probably connect the theme of bonds within the previous two movies with the concept of having to distance the bonds at some point, and yeah the movie had that going for it but it wasn't executed very well. Like sure, we did definitely have scenes where Hiccup was contemplating his life without Toothless but almost nowhere in the movie was Toothless thinking the same thing (sans the leaving of the dragons and that one part where he's about to take off after receiving his new tail fin but then looks back). Like we had no part during his interactions with the Light Fury or in the Hidden World that indicated that he was missing Hiccup in any way. And also with regards to the Light Fury, I would've definitely preferred if it had been another Night Fury or at least a small group of them, since an undying question up until the third movie was whether they were still around. Not only would it be really cool and Toothless can help further boost the declining population of such a rare species, but it would also give audiences, especially those who enjoy revolving concepts around other potential Night Furies, the ability to run free with their imagination, as well as giving the fans the satisfaction of finally seeing some other Night Furies. And that's kinda the reason why I don't like Grimmel saying that he essentially killed all Night Furies; it breaks the immersion that there are still other Night Furies out there (or, at the very least, sets an extremely low possibility of more Night Furies) and limits the imagination of people who were probably hoping more than anything that there were more Night Furies. I mean, sure they have NightLight hybrids now but eventually (unless inbreeding occurs) the Light Furies will become the dominant genepool and the pure Night Fury species becoming extinct when Toothless dies. Of course, the animation is stellar and needs no explaining. Like damn those sand effects are amazing, not to mention they did a really nice job animating the Hidden World and giving it that fantasy look. And also something I've been majorly passionate about is with the music of the HTTYD franchise. The first movie integrates its music fantastically with its environment; loud, in your face, a lot of unique and traditional materials used to make the movie feel more authentic and at its roots. (EDIT - After hearing some of the songs I can safely say that it is as well done as the first with those traditional instruments, but it still lacks that loudness or, for some of them, extreme energy the first one had. It's still good nonetheless!) But in the third movie, the music is so quiet and in my eyes personally loses its traditional charm the first one had in favour for more your everyday orchestra instruments. Unlike the first movie, I never really felt a complete integration with the music in the third movie, and it was only in the background the same way Hiccup was in the background to help Toothless with impressing his love interest; he's there to help aid Toothless to progress in advancements but doesn't exactly do the perfect job. 'Exodus' especially and 'Furies in Love' are the closest the soundtrack can personally get to feel the vigour the first one had with their defined rhythm of drums and, with the former, traditional instruments. From what I can recall, the moments these soundtracks are used are integrated with their environment pretty well! I will admit I do like the Light Fury motif though, like an alternate to the HTTYD motif Also, something interesting I've just noticed. The movie is called "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" rather than How to Train Your Dragon 3, bit curious to why they dropped the number and went with the addition of "The Hidden World". The Hidden World isn't even really seen that much, so why go with this name rather than 3? Just a curious thought.

*And here's just my mind running rampant with the ideas you've come up for an alteration of the movie's plot* Possible thoughts for the other side of the coin would be that, over the course of many years (maybe 10? 15? Actually I was under the impression that in the third movie, prior to hearing anything else other than its release date of 2018 (before getting changed to '19), Hiccup was probably around late 20s-early 30s in age and by the end he was an old man) Hiccup could've been persuading other nearby tribes and clans that dragons aren't that bad and human and dragons can coexist with one another, so we could get some instances of trade by dragon or stuff like that. And I think the conflict brought up in the video of a clan of Vikings unwilling to listen would be really neat, perhaps this clan was an extremely well respected group of Vikings that all other smaller chains in other areas (including Berk) all got their ideas, beliefs and values from, particularly the belief that all dragons are evil. We could get some exposition backstory on how their ancestors were from this tribe and sailed the seas to various lands and conquered them all or something as well! And yeah, again mentioned from the video, their conflicts may be arising from other dragons in the vicinity, other Red Death like dragons or even a Bewilderbeast, and eventually via the help of Hiccup and his team they quell the conflict and the well respected Viking clan turn over a new leaf. And in the meantime of this uprising conflict, perhaps mating season could be occurring like the video mentioned and all the dragons could be going to that one island mentioned in "Gift of the Night Fury". Perhaps Toothless takes Hiccup alongside with him since in the prior mentioned movie Toothless didn't want to leave Hiccup behind with anything, as weird as it sounds. Then, with Hiccup potentially avoiding the gazes of any other dragon, hiding or acting as a live catch in a comedic manner in order to not start a ruckus, maybe there the two search for potential mates for Toothless (Hiccup could potentially bring an immature (as in not mature enough to mate)/baby dragon along just in case Toothless finds a mate and decides to stay) and just when they are about to give up Hiccup spots a small group of Light/Night Furies out for Toothless. Then during the interactions Toothless finds a female that he has particular interest in, and the two can have introductions and everything. Hiccup decides this is a good time to leave and tells Toothless that he will do so in secret. Toothless is upset but Hiccup reassures that he will come back periodically to check up on him, and Hiccup leaves via the baby/immature dragon. Then during these times we can cut in-between the two with Hiccup trying to convince the clan to get along with dragons via the baby/immature dragons they have and Toothless further strengthens his bond with the new female. Perhaps during some instances of Hiccup's periodic returns Toothless could potentially try to introduce Hiccup to his female love interest and/or the small group, with either side being uncomfortable with the process (this could potentially lead to more interactions with Hiccup and the female), but eventually come to the realisation that neither side poses any threat to each other. However we should also show the two of them having to cope with not being aside one another, and potentially even have a moment of realisation that one day one of the two will pass away and the other will have to officially continue on without the other. This leads to Hiccup ultimately creating the tail fin, bringing it over and applying it to Toothless. Toothless initially rejects it at first but Hiccup tells him that Toothless may need it some day for survival should the time comes that he passes away, leading Toothless to begrudgingly leave the auto tail fin on. Potentially, we could also see the two of them becoming stronger without the need for one to be by the others' side as well, like perhaps Hiccup growing more confidence in his leadership capabilities as an individual rather than a team and Toothless adapting more primal tactics and learning to associate himself and socialise better with the small Night/Light Fury group. The climax of the fight between the clan and the dragons (definitely with the aid of their dragon leader) rises during the span of all of this happening. The climax then happens where the dragons initially seem to have the upper hand and just when everything is about to fail the tamed dragons fly in and save the day (some of them with their potential mates, such as perhaps Toothless and his), subduing the ongoing war and convincing the clan that dragons really aren't bad as they seem. Victory ensues and there is a voice over narration from Hiccup telling how the clan eventually adopted their own dragons, and the scene cuts to a significantly older Hiccup and Toothless, each now successfully bearing a lineage of children in order to continue their legacy as the duo who severed the antagonistic views between man and dragon.

Same here. It’s hard to watch the first two movies knowing that the third movie will tear down the foundation

The ending to the third movie makes literally no sense to me.

First of all, they should have never had the Lightfury be Toothless' mate. First movie was all about how Toothless was supposedly the last nightfury, and Grimmel hunted them down as we learned in the 3rd. But they also mention that Nightfuries are the most intelligent dragon species, so who says the Nightfuries wouldn't just go into hiding? Not to mention, but the Hidden world seems like an ideal place for Nightfuries, not Lightfuries. I feel like it would have been so much better with a female Nightfury leaving the hidden world and running from Grimmel, Toothless finds her lost and hurt from Grimmel attempting to kill her. Immediately Toothless would fall for her because it means saving their species to him, and just overall she is special because she is the "last" female nightfury. Hiccup would probably be in shock and try to help her, but instead she tries to run away, in fear that Hiccup was the same as Grimmel. Toothless follows her and finds the hidden world, meeting the other nightfuries, he was asked to stay forever but said no and asked the female Nightfury to come back with him and let Hiccup help her heal. She is hesitant but agrees, saying goodbye to the other Nightfuries for the time being. On their way back they see signs of Grimmel but never see him or any of his active boats. They reach New Berk and Hiccup names the new Nightfur, lets say Dusk. Toothless tries to tell Hiccup about Grimmel and what he did. Hiccup does not understand and just thinks that Toothless is acting odd because of meeting a female Nightfury. Time passes and Dusk leaves back to the Hidden world without Toothless knowing. Toothless can't handle not being with Dusk so he flys away to find her, only to run into Grimmel who has captured her. Toothless quickly flys back to alert Hiccup, Hiccup sees that there is something wrong and the gang follows after Toothless and Hiccup. They find Grimmel and Hiccup confronts him, thus learning the story of how Grimmel hunted supposedly all Nightfuries. Hiccup immediately notices that Toothless is no longer by his side and distracts Grimmel, then leaving to find Toothless on Stormfly with Astrid. They find a boat with Toothless and Dusk both unconscious. Astrid and Hiccup fight the few people on the boat and rescue Toothless and Dusk. They leave and fly back to where the remaining part of the gang is. They explain that Grimmel had gotten away by injuring Barf and Belch. Hiccup studies the new liquid that immobilized Barf and Belch, only to discover its venom from a Deathknapper. Days pass at New Berk and Toothless takes Hiccup, Stormfly, and Astrid to the Hidden world, Toothless is greeted by the Nightfuries who have learned from Dusk, that Hiccup and his friends are friendly and can be trusted. Hiccup learns that Grimmel did in fact kill lots of Nightfuries but not all of them. Toothless has become the king of the Hidden world at this point, Dusk as his Queen, but know that Grimmel know that there are in fact more NIghtfuries it wont be long until he raids the Hidden world, so they must get to him first. Time passes and finally Grimmel has found New berk and captures Toothless, Hiccup and the gang face Grimmel but know that they can't risk the lives of the others and need more help. Dusk can feel that something is wrong and gathers Nightfuries and other dragons to come help fight with her. They all face Grimmel and save Toothless. Hiccup faces Grimmel alone and same as before, Grimmel falls to his death. Instead of the dragons leaving, some choose to stay and some go to the hidden world, Toothless and Dusk decide to live in both worlds, live many other dragons. The end scene is different, instead of Toothless and the Lightfury and their kids reuniting with Hiccup and Astrid and their kids, Toothless and Dusk are out on a different island watching their kids play. All of the sudden their kids run off out of Toothless' and Dusk's sight. They run after them, only to be greeted by 2 older Nightfuries. Toothless faintly remembers their faces, and they also remember his. It turns out to be Toothless' parents, still searching for their lost and only son. This took forever to write, but I belive that this would have been a better plot for the movie, as it answers lot's of our questions.

That's very good, gotta admit that. I thought all the time during the third movie, that it was kinda over the top that one guy, a single person, killed a whole species of dragons. Which also was supposed to be the smartest kind with one of the best camouflage abilities. So it would make no sense that Toothless was the only one to somehow survive. So your idea complements that pretty good. But I think the riders wanted to keep him unique, so he still could have a family with the Light Fury - but be an unique design. Or that the children watching the movie could seperate Toothless and the Light Fury, which would be supposedly hard to if they both looked so similar.

Yes, yes, thank you. I knew there was a BIG problem with the third movie, nearly everything felt wrong to me.

My ideal end: - Stoic not dead - Happy not destroyed family - No light furies I don't like the light fury idea. Don't get me wrong, her design is gorgeous and she's a work of art. But what is there to her personality? Is she only there to give Toothless a reason to leave his best friend? I remember seeing an idea in a short animatic where instead of finding the light fury trapped, they find a baby night fury. This would make Toothless a father figure, and give him a valid reason to immediately bond with the baby night fury, being probably the last child of his species. Naturally with his level of intelligence he would protect it fiercely. While this wouldn't save the species per se, and wouldn't give Toothless a girlfriend, he would no longer be completely alone and the story would feel much more natural that way, not just "ooh guys what if we took Toothless but made him white and gave him ovaries"

I was so disappointed with this move, when leaving the theater. I didn't really want anything out of this movie other than for it to wrap up one of my favorite animated trilogies in a satisfying way, but I wasn't expecting it to just reject the message the first two movies spent building.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who was very disappointed by The Hidden World. I also love how people complain how "out of place" the ending of Toy Story 4 was when it was built up properly from film to film, while The Hidden World completely negates the themes of its predecessors for a much more out of place ending.

I realize that this is an older comment but I'd have to disagree with you about Toy Story 4 as I believe it has the same exact problem of going against the theme of the previous movies. All three of the other Toy Story movies is the toys doing everything in their power to bring their kid joy and staying together as a "family" of sorts and it has the same exact issue as HTTYD 3, with a main character leaving the other characters they've grown to consider friends/"family" for a fleeting love interest. It makes the other movies in the franchise feel pointless. And Toy Story 4 also bothered me a lot because the villain getting a happy ending solely because she had the stolen voice box from Woody and not because the child actually loved her in spite of her flaws sends a really bad message imo that you have to change or "fix yourself" in order to find happiness. Both HTTYD 3 and Toy Story 4 fall flat because of the "i'm going to ditch my friends who I've fought to stay with throughout the other movies for a girl that barely has any screen time" issue and the contradicting morals. And it's honestly such a shame because the animation in both is stunning.

I understand that you'd want to see Woody stay with Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang, but after how much Bonnie has forgotten about Woody, they weren't going to stay together forever. Eventually Woody was going to leave and that's the cold, unfortunate truth the toys had to deal with, which is why Buzz suggesting Woody to stay with the love of his life made so much sense and showed how much their friendship has grown for each other. Every kid has their favorite toy, but Woody was no longer one of them. To me, it seemed like Woody had no other choice but to leave, be happy, and help other toys, otherwise had he stayed with the gang, his departure would have ended on a much sour note for him, just like it did for Jessie. As for Gabby Gabby, first off, she's not really a villain. At first, she seems like one, but in the end, she just wanted to be given the opportunity to be loved by a kid. Also, the message of the film definitely isn't what you think it is. Just because you've fixed yourself doesn't automatically make you capable of loving. After all Woody has done for her, she still got rejected by the one kid she wanted to be with. Which is why Woody took Gabby Gabby with the gang and help her find a kid that needed her as just as much as Gabby Gabby needed her. Instead of the film being about fixing yourself to be loved or find happiness, Toy Story 4 is a film about learning to let go, what it's like when you've fulfilled your purpose, and move on to better things. It's a scary thing that we all have to come to terms with at some point in our lives and it's portrayed beautifully in Toy Story 4. It really felt like the entire franchise was building up to this ever since Toy Story 2 brought it up.

It doesn't make sense to me that in the third movie Bonnie would be so interested in him as the first toy of the gang she comes in contact with and then in the fourth she forgets about just him? It just seems like a bit inconsistent. Also when I said Gabbie Gabbie was the villain I guess I meant that she was meant to be the antagonist. I know she wasn't necessarily a villain but she was the source of conflict for a majority of the of the film. She didn't get to be with the girl she wanted originally, true, but I felt it would've sent a much more powerful message if she had been able to find a child that loved her even without a voice box. Though perhaps that might be a bit cliche. And I didn't mean to say the entire movie was about fixing yourself, just that scenes like that seemed to give off that message. I personally felt that the fourth movie as a whole was unneeded, because the third movie gave the same ending that you're mentioning of "learning to let go" when Andy gave the toys to Bonnie, but it made a lot more sense in the context of the other films because they were still together and their goal was still to bring joy to children even if it wasn't Andy anymore. And it wasn't necessarily that I wanted the toys to stay together or that Woody's decision in the context of the fourth film was off. In the context of the fourth movie's plot, yes it's a sound decision and it makes sense. But the events that brought him to that decision and the plot itself are what make me feel that it worked more as a standalone movie than as part of the franchise. But we can agree to disagree!

I do understand how Bonnie's lack of interest in Woody in the fourth film can be jarring though. Especially how much she loved playing with him with 3, but unfortunately, that's how kids can be. Just like Dolly said, "Bonnie is not Andy." Sometimes they play with toys for a period of time and eventually get bored of them, have new favorites, and nothing can be done about that sadly. I really feel like 4 delves into how hard a toy's life can really be. I'm glad you still like the film though. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it, and I do see where you're coming from.

Also: redesign the light fury so she doesn’t look like a slug

A sluug!!! 😂😂 omg. I've never heard anyone put it like that, but I 100% agree. 🤣 lmao

I feel like a good balance between not changing the movie much and keeping with the theme of toothless and hiccup having a special bond is to have toothless go to the hidden world but, in the end, having him and many of the other dragons choose to stay with their humans despite the troubles they may face and for future rescued dragons to get that option- staying with humans or in protected wilds or the safety of the hidden world.

While I did enjoy watching the second movie, I was a bit annoyed with how in the first movie, hiccup and toothless defeated the boos by using their strengths - cunning. While toothless has the powerful plasma blast, neither are brute-forcers. They rely on cunning, hiccup on being a thinker, a tinkerer, and toothless being a fast-agile-stealth type. But across the movies, toothless just became more of a 'I'm the sigma alpha male with the blue glowy, f you big mean antagonist'. The beauty of their relationsship was that they were two oddballs, each a rare type in their respective specimens, both invisible in each their way, but they came together and adapted and overcame, using their strengths, even though those strengths weren't traditionally valued among their own kind. I get they cant have that theme and invent the wheel for every movie, but it feels more like the movies lost sight of that original magic completely as they progressed.

I see where you’re coming from. In the second movie I can see where Alpha toothless can be a bit much, but I at least enjoyed it because it was Toothless giving his all for a life long friend. Vs. turning part skrill for some girl he just met. Of course I still would’ve loved more of Hiccup & Toothless’s combined intelligence and ferocious speed, even in movie 2. But in the 3rd movie it especially felt like they just thought “the flashier the better” and ended it there.

Agreed :D

Honestly my favorite villain in this ENTIRE series, movies and animated series, is Viggo Grimborn.

Agreed. I honestly would've loved the third movie ten times more if they had him as the villain. Even if he was forcibly shoehorned in, he's such a good character that it would've made up for it. They could've stolen his character arc directly from Race to the Edge and I wouldn't have minded.

I personally think Drago should have been the villain for the third movie. There is so much backstory they could have explored, and he could have been the one who killed the night furies. They also need to learn that falling into water doesn’t kill people

@JustAnotherGeek You do know the animated series AND the movies are connected right? Viggo died by the end of the animated series, sacrificed himself in a very "Darth Vader-esque" kind of way to save Hiccup.

I 100% agree with you. Like, I liked the movie just because I LOVE the series, but I agree it didn’t fit the theme and that’s why it just didn’t feel as good as the others.

Finally someone agrees with me to Toothless betrayed hiccup Over A light fury that he is only meant for like four minutes Bad dragon
