Bro when Hiccup took off his helmet, the fans went crazy (in a good way). To see all these characters visibly aged up a little was quite the suprised.
I was there when it first came out, and there was definitely some excitement at the theaters after that reveal.
If I remember correctly they didn't reveal his face until the movie came out. Even his posters and trailer were of him with his helmet on.
I cut out the promo photos that were printed in the paper and taped them to my wall. I had such an aesthetic crush on hiccup
@@cptbabyface9804 No the first teaser had that scene where he took off that helmet and *let me tell you* people were talking about it XD
Ah... good times
Drago's weapon is actually a tool that was used in real life to 'tame' elephants.
The idea was to hit them with the pointy bits as they were growing up whenever they got out of line. This was repeated so that by the time they were adults, they were scared into submission of the tool, and the wielder by extension, even if they were physically capable of defending themselves.
Drago likely found the Bewilderbeast as a hatchling, either by coincidence or killing or stealing it from its mother. As it grew, he used the hook to discipline it, ingraining fear and submission into it, until it was fully subservient to him regardless of the size difference.
SPOILER
how Drago found the Bewilderbeast is shown at the end of Race to the Edge
@@theamazingspooderman2697 Cool. Never made it to the end of that one. I didn't have the greatest attention span as a kid.
@@theamazingspooderman2697 that was actually the egg of Valka's Bewilderbeast, Drago then found another one later, but its never clarified on how he actually does so.
@@dragonsman4733 then what happened to that egg? and since that is the only egg don't u think it was the same Bewilderbeast? or has it been confirmed officially that he got another Bewilderbeast
@@theamazingspooderman2697 Backed up by his now iron-plated dragon army, Drago then discovered a young Bewilderbeast, which he abusively trained for a single purpose: to one day dethrone the established Alpha and become the new master of all dragons, answering only to Drago himself.
It’s from the books but it’s fair to assume this is what happened since it’s not stated otherwise.
Edit correction: it’s not from the main author of the series, it’s a dreamworks book so that is what happened in movie universe cannon.
I get how Hiccup may seem stupid for his initial plan in giving themselves up, but if you've watched the shows, you know his confidence comes from experience. He's got every reason to feel as confident in himself and in their dragons as he is. He's not the same 15 year old kid who fainted after his first encounter with Toothless. He's a seasoned dragon rider and trainer, hell, he's *The* Dragon Rider.
Was just thinking about commenting this - he literally changed SO many people's minds, including even the most previously dangerous of enemies.
@@danielmunoz1275 as someone who watches ninja kuma on twitch, and constantly hears about his life growing up in a war torn nation, i can attest to this statement. War is hell, a hell the majority of those who grow up in the u.s will never know.
@Anonymous Gamer333 i agree
Truth
True. And these are spoilers for the Race To The Edge, but he did manage to convert Viggo Grimborn. Albeit after a long time.
I think its funny how in both movies Hiccup always starts and ends the movie saying the weather is terrible, but throughout the movie its always clear and beautiful
Maybe to not have to animate snow falling every scene i guess? Lol
They filmed on the good days
Even in the show there's like only a handful of episode with rain and snow
@@strawberryfox8819 YES, and it is SO FRUSTRATING! And even when it IS snowy out, everyone still goes around without sleeves! And I HATE IT! Like, if it's really THAT difficult and expensive to animate harsh weather and winter clothes in your fancy 3D CGI animation style, then just USE A CHEAPER ANIMATION STYLE FOR THE SHOW! And I KNOW that's possible, because they used much simpler 2D animation for parts of Legend of the Gobblewonker and Book of Dragons, and it looked just fine!
Edit: I had a brain fart. It was Legend of the Boneknapper, not Gobblewonker.
@@wilfrido1lora this had no business being so funny 😂😂
Stormfly, Astrid’s dragon is the exact representation of having parrots, but without the tantrums.
as someone with a bird who attacks your face and screeches at you if you touch anything blue that he's claimed, I can relate.
@@dragonsman4733 blue? That’s so funny; and sounds very annoying lol
@@ma.2089 yeah, if you walk into a room with him flying around, he will only land on you if your wearing something blue. nothing else, just blue. he's got very particular tastes, lol.
Let me make an analogy:
Toothless - Cat
Stormfly - Parrot
Meatlug - Dog (I'm thinking pug specifically)
Barf and Belch - Snake
Hookfang - ?????
@@jeffbrehove2614 hook fang maybe like having a monitor lizard or large lizards
I love how 90% of the comments are telling you guys to watch the shows.
I fully support this
@j marine And I fully support your fully supportive full support
@@swagninja_2142 🤣
Btw, just letting you guys know, Stoic's Dragon is his second dragon, the first one and him took different path's because it needed to protect its own group. And later he finds Skull Crusher in the same series, which is what you see in this movie
ain't that a spoiler?
@@theamazingspooderman2697 to what ? Since they already watched the first movie and jumped to the second, I dont think they will watch the animated series
@@Joan-jq5ho they can still watch it afterwards tho but fine I guess
The series when Stoic parted ways with Thornado (his first dragon) is a different one from when he got Skullcrusher.
@@Joan-jq5ho Yes, but they do react to series' so it's a possibility they'd do it here. If enough request it.
That was absolutely not Hiccups fault. It wasn't even him that told Drago about berk, it was Astrid and the friends.
It also his fault.
@@iiiisssssaaaaaacccccc Drago's fault.
Exactly. Narratively, all of this makes sense. It makes sense to Hiccup's character, to the tragic plot of finding a parent and have one last bittersweet reunion only to lose the other, giving an opening to the fallout of the story---the bigger incentive to defeating the villain---and then the rise to victory and Hiccup's crowning. As this is a coming-of-age story for Hiccup, losing Stoick was crucial to the story.
Plus, he's a pacifist. It's backed up by the series too.
@j marine I know that Hiccup had a lesson to learn and that he should have listened about Drago, but I'm not talking about the domino effect of all the events leading to all that (It's a movie, it's pretty obvious what story they're trying to tell). I also know Hiccup contributed to the outcome. But I'm talking about who's directly responsible for killing Stoik. Hiccup might have put them in danger, but Drago killed Stoik. I find it ludicrous to blame someone other than the murderer. Plus, it was a battlefield, and Stoik literally jumped in front of toothless to save Hiccup.
The one from the first movie wasn't an alpha. Valka said "every nest has its queen, but this is the king" referring to the ice spitter. The one from the 1st was just a queen of that specific nest.
actually the Red death is considered an Alpha, but just has less control over dragons, as the status was made due to how large and how basically imortal her species were, instead of earned from combat. Its more of a fake status, so you are partly right. while the Bewilderbeast controls dragons through a strong hivemind, which is a ability to all Bewilderbeasts, not just the Alpha, she controls them by intimidation alone.
@@dragonsman4733 Tbh, I find the Red Death far cooler than the Bewilderbeast. Controlling via Hivemind is easy, controlling through intimidation is earned. Also just in general, I liked it a little better in the first movie how they handled her enormous size. Like you could literally feel the weight and terror of her, especially when she suddenly started flying.
A good example of a queen would literally be the queen fire wyrm from Race to the edge
Fun fact there is a canon cartoon series based on this movie. It takes place between movie 1 and 2 and shows Hickups and the villages change between the two movie. I would definitely recommend checking it out. It is good. It is called dreamworks dragons
its a bit hard to find dreamwork's dragons Online, but Netflix does have race to the edge, wich is a follow up to that very same show, taking place once the characters are a bit older but still far away from the second movie
@@agustinsmania5270 Yeah. They can watch that relatively safe, but they'll miss out on some stuff from the RoB and DoB. Like Heather or the Screaming Death. The whole plotline with Alvin too. The Skrill of Dagger.
@@vailingbow1068 it also means more screen time for johan, as well as the classics from berk
@@agustinsmania5270 True. And they'll understand some references like when Snotlout references Breakneck Bog. And they could also make some parallels with the info they have with the "reveal"
Valka's full name is Valhallarama, but they shortened it to Valka for pretty understandable reasons. I imagine it would've been pretty hard to say constantly with voice acting.
Considering what Valhalla is that's really cool
I thought it was a play on valkeries.
Where the fuck does the "k" Come from then!?😂😂😂
42:35 Actually the Red Death (the giant dragon from the first movie) is also an alpha. It was just a female alpha, in a how to train your dragon game, there's a green version called The Green Death.
to expand on this, The Green death is the red Deaths son, a type of dragon called the Giganticus Maximus, which are Alphas at birth, due to size, intelligence, and firepower. He holds the same name as the original antagonist of the first book, and to Hiccup the first, that the Red Death was based on.
What game is that?
@@augustrempelewert4377 its called 'school of dragons'
@@dragonsman4733 I don't know if that is the case. Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus are supposed to be the largest dragons and the bewilderbeast is larger in the movies. Also the Seadragons are supposed to be very intelligent and have all kinds of other cool abilities. I think the name is slightly misleading because I don't think that the red death is a Seadragon. They definitely took the name as parody from the book though, which I appreciate since very little else is reminiscent of them. I love both the books and the movies but they are just in different universes in my mind.
@@patrickmorrey8722 don't know if that is the case. Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus are supposed to be the largest dragons and the bewilderbeast is larger in the movies" they come in all sizes, if you recall. she fits the description of the green deaths size, who she was based on, in the first book.
My favorite part is Stoik trying to court Velka, and being willing to accept her refusal. He never got to say goodbye, and now that he knows she's well and happy, he'd accept resuming being without her knowing he at least got the option to be told "No".
How abt we appease everyone and say that the dragons are like dogs with cat mannerisms? Cause they definitely do stuff that cats be doing 😂
The majesty of a horse, the freedom of an eagle, the mannerisms of a cat, and the loyalty of a dog.
@@EthanMallonee This !!!
Frankly most people just do not have cats because beyond memes they do almost all the things people think are exclusively "dog behaviour"
At least Toothless acted much more like a cat in the first movie. But after he was tamed and lived with humans, he started to act dog-like too in the next movies.
It just depends on what you live with. I’ve lived with both dogs and cats, but I’ve lived longer with cats, so the dragons feel far more cat like than dog like. The only major difference is the training which feels harder than a dog, but easier than a cat.
The hooked spear weapon that Drago has is inspired by a real life tool that is used to "train" young elephants. They are abused with that tool so that when they are older and bigger and could easily kill their Trainer they don't because they're afraid of getting hurt.
Considering that the bewilderbeasts (the big alpha dragons) have tusks like elephants, I think the implications are quite clear. Dragos has probably been abused by him since it was a baby
You guys should check out the short movies and especially the shows after you finish the movies, they help expand the world and characters and add a ton of new dragons, they’re a treat to watch and explain what happened between the five year timeskip
@@rygornspectre7142 I support your support.
I support this as well.
I also support this
Especially race to the edge arguably the best thing from this franchise
yeah those HTTYD series so I support this.
Stoick's dragon is known as a Rumblehorn btw. He is introduced within the TV series Dragons: Race to the Edge.
The HTTYD website stated that Drago found his Bewildwerbeast as an egg. And once it hatched; well.....
Originally Valka was gonna be the villain for the sequel. After Hiccup tells her that he was the one who wounded Toothless it would of sent her over the edge and she would of attacked Berk. But, obviously, they changed that. Along with Valka being the planned villain for this movie; Drago was planned to be the villain for the third movie.
Also, it makes sense for Hiccup to want to try to change Drago's mind on dragons. Given both the first movie and both tv series; literally 9/10 of all villains/enemies he had both chagned their views on dragons and became allies. There were three that he failed to change, but that's bc they fucking died (no joke). There is one other but I feel that's bc the writers simply forgot about him. And he really wasn't a "villain"; more like the "old man that complains about and tries to sabotage the fun of the young kids" trope. But yeah, with a record like that you can't really blame Hiccup for wanting to try!
Edit: Oh and that yelling thing Drago does; his VA would do yells to warm up his voice before recording. The writers liked it so much that they made into the character. BUT! Funnily enough, yelling was the way the Vikings got dragons to obey them in the books. And yes, Drago is dead.
u are talking about Mildrew in the 3rd para right?
Quote from How to Train Your Dragon second edition by professor Yobbish. "Yell at it, loudly."
“Some mind can’t be change, Hiccup”
In the end, Alpha can’t change toothless mind.
Too soon!!!
Hiccup has experience in changing people's mind actually. I said this before but there are tv shows in between these movies going into their lives with the dragons and plenty of Vikings to change minds.
Hiccup has always been a pacifist, and throughout the movies and the show has been shown to have near-endless forgiveness. He's too kind for the world.
It's worth pointing out that Hiccup trying to reason with Drago didn't cause Stoick's death. That would have happened regardless when the Alpha exerted control over Toothless.
ikr the fourth guy just be yapping anything lol
Fun fact: Valka (Hiccup's mom) was originally going to be the villain in How to Train Your Dragon 2, but Dean DeBlois wanted to make her reformed so he made her good instead. There's even a early draft storyboard out there showing that.
So far we only know of four Bewilderbeasts, a mother bewilderbeast from the Netflix show race to the edge, the egg from that mother grows up to become the one Valka has, Drago’s bewilderbeast that he just found by pure luck, and the skeleton of what seems to be a titan class version of the bewilderbeast that makes up most of the island that dragons use as their final resting place
Fun fact: Toothless's animation was based on a cat owned by one of the animators, there are actually a lot of similarities in physical build and movement between Toothless and a cat imo, but from personality I guess he's more of a dog haha
It's implied that Drago controls the Alpha dragon because he raised it, when it actually was small, to fear him instinctually. Kind of how Elephants are trained from a young age on how to do certain tricks because they can't be tamed once they're bigger than their owners.
If you watch the TV series...
you'll know that both of those alpha dragons are only 3 years old. Drago looked for an alpha egg to be able to control it as it grew, and control other dragons through it by extension using fear and pain as a motivator to do what he wanted it to, regardless of the size it grew to. The alpha from the nest was the first egg found, and then protected from Drago by Valka and the dragon riders(Hiccup and Co.).
This is honestly the best of the three IMO. The lore it establishes, the new characters, the emotion, and score is even better. Especially that opening song when Hiccup and Toothless are flying through the air.
@@danielmunoz1275 Really, I think Drago is a better villain than the third one. I think his name is Viggo. I don’t even remember it.
@@samfisher6606Viggo is the villain from Race To The Edge, who is by far the best villain in this series : ]
Alpha is a title. As long as a dragon is strong enough they can become an Alpha. The bewilderbeast is an Alpha species in other words every member of this species is an Alpha automatically due to their immense size, unique breath and ability to command other dragon. The one from the last movie was also an Alpha. It was a queen that ruled over that nest.
50:31 the Drago's Bewilderbeast situation of how he tamed it was maybe like what happened to the Catastrophic Quakens in Dragons: Race to the Edge, where they have been in captivity for so long, they're used to it. So when Fishlegs tried to convince them to be free, they went back to their captors. Probably Drago got the dragon when it was still an egg.
I actually thought that was the same Bewilderbeast under Berserker Island, unless I'm missing something. It's been a while since I've seen the show, but no doubt that guy was raised for so long it's used to it.
Remember at the end of the show Drago said he'd find another King of Dragons himself. The egg they saved from Krogan and Johann was given to the Wingmadiens who gave it to Valka.
So I guess they just grow extremely fast
Y'all wanna know what happened to Drago? There was an unmade sequel to two canon books that take place immediately after this movie. Although it was shelved, they had a plot figured out, which consisted of Hiccup and Toothless being lost in a storm, being rescued by a massive water dragon which brings them to an underwater Viking ruin that's located in a massive air bubble. There, they find that Drago was also rescued by that dragon. He has since found a centipede-like dragon that is described to be a bit like Venom from Spiderman in that it latches onto him like a parasite and has a sumbiotic relationship with him. So this centipede dragon has attached itself to the stump of his shoulder and now acts as a flamethrower arm. When Drago and Hiccup meet, Drago declares that they are going to finish this right here, right now, and only one of them will make it out of the ruin alive. All of Hiccup's weaponry was lost at sea in the storm, and Toothless can't use a plasma blast for risk of hitting the cavern wall and flooding it with the ocean. The centipede dragon also draws off Drago's hatred which is so strong that it allows the dragon to resist Toothless' commands as the alpha. So what ensues is a game of cat and mouse through these ruins where Hiccup struggles to find a way to defeat Drago without his weapons, grapples with his mostly pacifistic ideals in this situation where he must either kill Drago or be killed himself. He does end up grinding Toothless' scales into a fire proof paste that he applies to his body. Eventually (in the interview where the writer talks about the plot of the book, he doesn't go into detail of how it happens) Hiccup does manage to kill Drago, and it would've been shown to be a very grim and clearly final end for Drago, something that would've cost Hiccup a piece of his soul to do. And since the two books that this is a sort of sequel to are canon, then even though the book was never completed, the entire plot had been figured out and is therefore pretty much canon as well
50:45 we learnt from other info. He raised it from birth. Beating the infant into submission and forcing his will onto it. Basically, the waving of the hook and shooting reminds it of the abuse drago put it through
Where No one Goes (the song that plays during the credits and right after the opening scene) is my FAVORITE SONG. it's the epitome of flying on a dragon, feeling free, just pure adrenaline flowing through you along with LOADS of serotonin. It never fails to give me chills and put me in a good mood with the goofiest smile on my face! Jonsi and John Powell did such a good job on that song!
Ok so the dragons are based off of a number of animals. Toothless’s movements are heavily inspired by one of the (I think animator’s) cat with some dog thrown in. Stormfly is most like a parrot, Cloudjumper is based on an owl, and Skullcrusher is a mix between a beetle and a battle axe (source, httyd 2 art book, but I don’t have it in front of me because I’m in college and that’s at home but I read that book religiously)
the world building in the how to train your dragon series is so good
Everything from the hiccup's wings, to the map, Stoick getting Skull crusher and to hiccup and Astrid dating would make absolutely sense after watching the HTTYD race to the edge.
I only found out the race to the edge after watching all 3 movies
You guys definitely need to watch Riders/Defenders of Berk and Race To The Edge. I'd even argue they're better than the sequels because as a series, it has the advantage of doing more characterization, especially for the side characters, and worldbuilding the movies ever could.
I loved Ruff and Tuff in those series and it was always cool whenever they were on the same screen with Snotlout
i never got into rider/defenders. i can see why people like it but it just didnt got me. race to the edge on the other hand is absolutelly fucking amazing.
@@lucasM005I'm actually in the same boat, I've seen clips of the first two shows and it just doesn't seem as compelling or fun as the movies or RTTE
9:13 I think she's disgusted and wiping her lips because remember, Toothless just aggressively licked Hiccup's face earlier. Lol
While Drago does want to become unstoppable and take over the world, it’s important to understand that that’s not his entire motivation. His desire to dominate dragons is motivated by revenge for dragons slaughtering his family, burning his village and tearing off his arm when he was a boy. He wants to make all dragons live in fear of him, just as he once lived in fear of them.
So while Drago certainly took it too far, his motivation for wanting to overcome and dominate dragons is at least an *_understandable_* one.
My favorite detail is right at the end, when hiccup dunks the black sheep in the basket, it's not the basket marked with a night fury. It's the one with a deadly nadder. He dunked it in Astrid's basket.
The relationship between Hiccup and Stoick is my favorite part of the movie. They thought they were so different as father and son, and Hiccup clearly thinks he's going to follow Valka's path to take on a dragon quest than Stoick's chief role in Berk. But in the end, they are the same, and Hiccup just becomes something that brings the best of Stoick and Valka together. Also the look on Hiccup when he saw his parents dancing and singing gets me every time. He was confused and curious because he has never had a complete family before.
In the TV shows it is somewhat implied that drago searched for an alpha species' egg so that he could raise it from a young age. Although that would make timing very confusing. And plus that stick he swings around is used for taming big animals in real life so it's not too confusing how he tamed an alpha.
The big dragon from the first movie was a queen. Astrid even said so after they first encountered it. "It's like a giant beehive, they're the workers and that's their queen".
And then Hiccup's mother mentioned that "Every nest has its queen" when introducing the Bewilderbeast.
How to Train Your Dragon had a television show as well which explains events that happened between the 1st and the 2nd film. So you can get even more character development to explain why the characters did what they did. So the events in this film, mostly the logic and reasoning of each character, will be explained 💙
Drago had the alpha since it was an egg and continuously beat it and tormented it for so long that it knows nothing else except dragos control
Please, you guys! You have to watch the shows, especially Race to the Edge! I'm sure you'll love them. The first ones are Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk and they happen after the first movie when Hiccup and the others are 15. Race to the Edge is like one or two years before the second movie, they're like 19 or something. And while there are a few inconsistencies, they're canon.
And I would dare say they are as good as the movies
Stoick’s death always hits me just as hard as the first time
I am so glad you are watching this, hopefully you are enjoying these movies just as we, the fans, do.
All of these dragons, the flaming sword, why Stoick is back to being on edge with Hiccup's plans, come from all the different series
No no Hiccup said "Maybe we'll find another Night Fury".
This is so So SO MUCH more intense than what we got at the time because you didn't get spoiled by trailers the way we did. They revealed Valka as his mom before we even got to the theatre.
when Dragos bewilders beast was a baby it was greatly abused and hurt by Drago (no need for specifics) which instilled fear into the dragon which is why he follows Drago due to the fear from abuse from Drago
I love when Stoic calls Astrid his future daughter in law cause a) supporting your sons relationship b) you don't find out in the movies but I'm pretty sure by this point in the story they're actually betrothed. It happens in one of the series.
I honestly would like to see the series and short films of this franchise even more now
The netflix series is better to watch than the movies imo. In a story telling and arc perspective
The reason why they age is bcause between each movie there is a cartoon series where they do things so you see how Hiccup obtains his sword and the process of the dragon scale armor I do believe.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen any other movie that takes you on such an emotional roller coaster ride. The ups & downs had me in tears of joy,fear & sadness then pride & happiness when I first saw it & multiple views since I still end up with a tear at minimum. These are truly the best movies
You guys should watch the animated series as it ties into the movies
And the Netflix series
fun fact: Drago's screams and yells were vocal warmups the voice actor did to play the part, and it was decided to use them in the movie.
The first big dragon from the movie is one of the QUEEN that Valka talked about where every nest has one, and the Bewilderbeast is a KING
Hiccup’s firesword, Inferno, is a direct reference to lightsabers from Star Wars
Also, in the TV series, he constructs a specialized shield that is arguably a reference to Captain America’s shield
I think the dragons are based on dogs and cats, cuz toothless is based of a cats, and fish legs's dragon based of a dog
When toothless broke out of the ice and started glowing blue he was beyond pissed that he tried to kill hiccup, you can see it on his face
I'm not sure if this is still my favorite movie of all time, but it's definitely still up there.
The ending monologue is so emotional. It makes me want to actually do stuff, which is not easy to accomplish.
Just to inform there are 3 shows that are in between movies 1 and 2 ,in time line order there is "Riders of Berk", "Defenders of Berk" and "Race to the Edge" they are obviously not needed to know the main story but they are great they explore and develop the characters(most of Hiccup and Astrids relationship) and the world mainly dragons,they are some of my favorite shows and highly recommend if interested in the HTTYD World.
and one of the MANY bonuses of Race is that we (BIG spoilers in case you plan on watching it, btw) get to see hiccup develop the fire sword over the course of multiple seasons. one of the plenty of genius ideas the people making that show had that ended up just making it better : )
Some people believe that Bewilderbeast can reproduce asexual. But when Volka said this is the king of all dragons she means they are alpha dragons that protects the all. For example people call Toothless's Godzila looking mode a Titan Wing mode just because of a game but it isn't, people call it an Alpha Mode. When Volka says they're rare she means the Bewilderbeast not the Alpha Species.
Please consider watching the TV series in order. They're very good. Lots of cool designs for dragons too. It fills in the gaps between the films.
The big dragon from the first movie was an alpha. But as they said in this movie every nest has their queen. The dragon in the first movie was a queen. It's also a titanwing which is a special breed of dragon who is usually bigger and stronger than the same species of the same dragon. So for an example if toothless was a titanwing he'd be bigger and stronger than other nightfuries. Probably more colorful as well. But yeah the dragon from the first movie was an alpha, just not a male
Not sure if this is what you meant but the Red Death and the Bewilderbeasts are not the same species. The Bewilderbeasts are very clearly seadragons due to their fins and the inability to breathe fire as well as the fact that Drago's was underwater until the fight. The Red Death has wings and can breathe fire, so it's not the same species. If that isn't what you meant then sorry but I wanted to clarify.
@@patrickmorrey8722 I never said they were I said they were both alpha dragons 😅
One thing I noticed about this series is the fact that Hiccup loses something important to him in every movie and each time it’s sadder
In the first he loses his leg
In the second he loses his father
In the third… well you’ll have too see
But when I saw it in the theaters, no one walked out with dry eyes
they have already watched the 3rd movie so u can talk about it in your comment
@@theamazingspooderman2697 I didn't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet
ngl that opening scene with hiccup and toothless flying together might be the best one in the whole series.
The giant dragon from the first one is called a Red Death, and it's the "queen" of dragons. The giant ones from this movie are called Bewilderbeasts, and they're the "kings" of dragons. There's actually a theory that since the Bewilderbeast provides food for the other dragons that the one Drago tamed was the king of the giant dragon from the first movie, and without it to provide food, the Red Death forced all the other dragons to constantly feed it.
Hman blaming stoics death on hiccup as if the alpha mind controlling wouldn't mind control toothless regardless of the situation lmao
there is an entire series between the first film and the second film. The riders of berk / The defenders of berk / Race to the edge. All these tell what happens in between these movies. And the world building and the storyline in this series is awsome, the creators do a very good job to connect every thing together with the movies as well
Has anyone said that in the end, when Hiccup caught the black sheep, he threw it into Astrid's basket? That is, he gave 10 points to her. I find this detail quite cute :"3
Although one thing I found weird with Drago's fire resistant cape is that sure, it protects you from the fire, but it shouldn't protect you from the heat...
the big dragon from the first movie was a queen
thats why hickup mom said "every nest got its queen" its a female
males are alpha
and a bewilderbeast(what the dragon king in this movie is) is just a very rare breeed and an alpha doesnt have to be a bweilderbeast
Man, to see this movie without the tremendous spoilers from the trailers.
Like, first thing they showed back then was Velka's unmasking scene, it was absolutely crazy.
As Hiccup said in the beginning of the very first movie. “We’re Vikings, we have stubbornness issues.”
Their is an interesting symmetry between Hiccup and Stoick in both this movie and the first one, where both are hellbent on stopping war in their own way and won’t be dissuaded from their course, and it ultimately costs both severely at the others expense, Stoick not listening to Hiccup about the Red Death and using Toothless to lead the Vikings to Dragon Island is ultimately what cost Hiccup his leg and Hiccup here not listening to Stoick about Drago and trying to redeem him ultimately cost Stoick his life, saving his son from a mind controlled dragon.
Their are a lot of characters in this series, both in the movies and the tv show who simply won’t be dissuaded from the destinies they’ve set for themselves until it’s either to late or something has forcibly snapped them out of it, Hiccup, Stoick, Drago and Grimmel are all perfect examples of this in their own, all four characters our simply to stubborn for their own good, with each one trying to forcibly change the world around them to fit their particular desires.
The Big Dragon from the first movie actually was indeed an Alpha as well
They are around 20 now as he was about 14/15 in the first movie
My favorite quote from Stoick:
"Men who kill without reason cannot be reasoned with"
It is my favorite for it is true about most killers we have today.
They actually are more like cats alot of toothless actions were based off one of either the director's or the animators cats
You guys should really react to the series Dragons: Riders of Berk, Dragons: Defenders of Berk and especially Dragons: Race to the Edge, if you want more HTTYD content.
9:07 actually, you're all right. They used cat, dog, and bird behavior to inspire the dragons which is why sometimes Toothless is very cat-like (especially in the first half of the first movie) while other times he's very dog-like. And as you see when he meets other dragons, very bird-like with the head-movement/dances.
This movie and the first one will always be the most important movies from my entire childhood
The great anti-parallel between parts 1 and 2 is: in part 1 Hiccup was trying to convince Stoic but in part 2, Stoic was the one trying to convince Hiccup.
A little context for You guys,the dragón of the fiesta movie was a queen,hiccup's mom said that "every nest has their queen"
According to the lore, drago found that alpha as an egg. Its only a year old in this movie. He raised it under fear and aggression, and it came to fear him and fell under his command
Okay I feel like using my extensive knowledge of this series to good use to help clear things up a bit.
1. Alphas aren’t a singular species they’re a status.
2. The green death (big dragon in the first movie) is like the queen of the hive, every nest has one.
3. The ice dragons in this movie (bewilderbeasts) are aquatic dragons and in this movie dragos dragon and valkas dragon are competing for the alpha title
4. The alpha can’t control minds that’s only a bewilderbeast thing
That’s all i got rn hope u enjoy the 3rd movie and the two tv series if u wanna react to that
the name's Red Death not Green Death
Its been soo long since i watched this series man! Now that im rewatching it with you guys i can really see why it it considered such a masterpiece.
I am glad they went this route. I heard somewhere the original script was Hiccups' mom was supposed to be the villain in this one and Drago was supposed to be in the third.
This is genuinely one of the absolute most magical and magnificent movies ever. I shit you not, I've seen this movie around 10 times since it came out and that scene with hiccup and toothless flying still makes me cry at how much I genuinely love this movie with all of my heart
I really hope you guys watch the specials and series. They do so much for worldbulding and character development.
Shows like Riders of Berk, Race to the Edge, and shorts like Racing for the Gold and the Gift of the Night Fury really help fill in all the gaps that the movies don’t cover 😊 All full of our same lovable characters and dragons but we get to flesh them out more
No Toothless is more cat and dog but mostly cat.
45:14 Welp, there's a reason why Kung Fu Panda and How To Train Your Dragon are some of DreamWorks animated gems 😅❤❤🤟
Answers to your questions/comments made in the video:
- "Oh, they're a little bit older now!" Yep! As mentioned a couple of minutes later, this movie is set about 5 years after the first. Back then, they were 15 and 14 (the twins are slightly younger than the others), and now they are 20 and 19.
- "This is confirmation that Hiccup and Astrid are pretty serious." They became betrothed to one another in the tv series Race to the Edge, I believe it was the beginning of Season 5. They'd finally gotten together at the end of the pervious season, and it's all very adorable #Hiccstrid
- So there are different Classes of dragon in the series. Hiccup briefly mentioned some in the first movie while reading the Book of Dragons ("Strike Class, Fear Class . . ."). For example, Stormfly is a Tracker Class dragon (formerly Sharp Class, but that was retconned by movie 2), Toothless is Strike Class, and the Bewilderbeast is Water Class, which is why it swims under water.
- 33:54 The other reason is . . . well . . . 🏳🌈
- Hiccup's "Come on . . ." after blowing up Drago is both a callback to his failed attempts to fly solo earlier (i.e. when he crashed), and also to the first movie, when he and Toothless lost control and hit the Red Death's tail.
- It's not confirmed in the movies, but I'm sure I read somewhere that yes, Drago drowned when his Bewilderbeast dove into the water with him still standing on it.
that Bewilderbeast later appears in the 3rd movie right?
@@theamazingspooderman2697 yep! I won't say where in case they read this comment, but yes, it does make another appearance in the 3rd movie 😊
The Bewilderbeast is apart of the Tidal Class. Aquatic Dragons.
10:24 gotta watch those cannon TV shows. :P
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Hiccup is 15 in the first movie, 20 in the second movie and 21 in the third. So five years have passed since the events of the first
I love that they turn the village elder into the -crazy- cat lady.
