I definitely think Astrid liked Hiccup (at the very least in a friendly way) before the first movie, but she just felt like she had a reputation to uphold
Yeah I definitely agree there was a deleted scene that had a little hiccstrid moment before the events of the first movie and showed that she liked him at least a little but I feel like the only thing holding her back was him not taking the dragon training seriously
I think u r right, because in 1 movie when everyone laughed at Hiccap , Astrid was just a bit disappointed , i think she liked him because he was different, he was exceled .
i love hiccup and astrid's interactions in the second film. it's so...chill and comfortable. like what an engaged couple would realistically feel. it's so warm. i love it.
@@IDK098 it's not exciting, yeah, because they're already adjusted and comfortable around each other. but it's still interesting to me to see a couple like this in animation. i dunno, it's just nice. but i can agree it's not everyone's cup of tea because of lack of nuance like their relationship in the first movie.
And if you watch all the tv series, especilly Race to the edge, then the second movie and then the third one... there's not a single couple that can beat these two... that wedding was just meant to be! 😭❤
Astrid may definitely feel something for Hiccup from the start cuz right after Hiccup tried to explain that he shot down a nightfury, and the other kids make fun of him, you can see Astrid’s face looking a bit concerned after Hiccup walks off!
STARBUCKS LPS Actually, Hiccup did shot Toothless with a weighted nest, making him fall to the island, just the day after he really finds Toothless, on the forest ground because of the net, wich also damaged his tail
@@nekovannox I know Google ruined my comment with changing the words just found out today *what is my life (how to train your dragon and miraculous ladybug )*
I kinda hope that Astrid had a crush on Hiccup before the flight, cause that would make sense with the emotional awkwardness, and why she was so begrudging about him, but then so quickly warming up. She’s a warrior, and probably isn’t emotionally fluent because of her determination and focus on fighting, combat and taking her mission seriously. Plus, they never hung out, so once they started bonding, feelings probably didn’t develop, it just started being more visible. I dunno, just me, it just sounds more realistic to me than it happening all at once.
Also Astrid never made fun of Hiccup, when her friends called Hiccup names she would always scowl at them. And you can't start liking someone after spending ten minutes together, so yeah you're probably right.
Mmmm from what I understand she never had a crush on him before their first flight together as she was focused on becoming a Viking and that's where she put all her focus on. I think people underestimate crushes that develope pretty quickly. The best way I can describe Astrid's interest in Hiccup in the begining is similar to how most young kids develope their crushes, rather spontaneous and sometimes unknowingly. By the end of the first film it seems that she developed very affectionate feelings for him which later developed further down into falling in love with him. Of course I'm aware there is a show about HTTYD so unless there is a flashback episode before the events of the first film that hints that she had a crush before the first film, I think its safe to say she didn't have a crush before the events of the first film.
I feel like the Race to the Edge show did really well to firmly establish characters relationships with each other. Hiccup and Astrids being them finally cementing their love for each other, its done in a really realistic way and feels natural. Hiccup and his dad now seee each other as peers with Hiccup being allowed to oversee and advise him on dragon related issues, trying to ease him into becoming the chief Berk will need one day. Now Dagur was the interesting, going from villain to hero by the midpoint. Something I like is how everyone is still slightly cautious around him even to the end, with some exceptions.
Totally agree! I started watching the whole series as a fan of the movies but without high expectations, but I ended up loving every single episode! I was really impressed by the storyline and strong foundation of each chapter, character and timing! Everything made sense, the relationships are smoothly taken to the next level, the characters including the new ones and the villains are superb (Dagur and Vigo are just awesome!), the personalities of all are well defined and the bridge between both movies is excellent created! Especially seasons 5 and 6... I can say that someone who loves the movies but hasn't watch the tv series have lost half of the story... go watch them now!!
I often wonder: did he slowly get better looking over the time span between Defenders of Berk and Race To The Edge? Or did he just wake up one day and WOOOOAAAH!!!
There is no doubt that Hiccup and Astrid are one of the best couples in animation right now, with the third movie on the way by March. Yet, here's the caveat with Vikings: with them, trust earns love. A Viking is a Viking nonetheless.
Their kiss was perfect, *but* my favorite moment of theirs is still that one when the guy from the dragon island goes to the edge talking about how he'll marry Ruff and she gets so pissed Hiccup has to stop her axe so the guy won't end up with it on his face. It's also funny how once so small Hiccup can literally stop Astrid now. 😁
That's why they make a great couple they fill in each others flaws Hiccups flaw he to passive and not the warrior type. Astrid a little hot temper so they make a great couple.
I believe its confirmed it was Hiccup who made Astrids axe (I could be wrong), but I do think Astrid admired Hiccup to a degree. Hiccup was different, he was kind hearted and joking, she never showed interest in bullying him and openly showed annoyance when others picked on him. I wouldnt call it a crush, yet but I think there was something before the movie.I think she was jealous when Hiccup surprised her in the ring, but a part of her was jealous people were giving him attention and his attention wasnt on her anymore.
I think the moment when Astrid and Hiccup shared their first ride on Toothless was when she started seeing him less as a clumsy and hopeless disgrace and more as someone she could like and respect. I do think they started out as friends, and over time, their friendship grew into love. She was the one who promised to take care of Toothless when Hiccup faced the last test. She encouraged Hiccup to follow his dad and save Toothless from the Red Death when Stoic and his men went to find the dragons. And SHE was the one who initiated the first kiss after their first ride together....and she kissed him again at the end of the first movie. Its only in the second movie that we see Hiccup initiate a kiss with her. I have not seen the third film yet, but I think she will be a beautiful and worthy Queen for Hiccup. I also like the Hiccup sees her as his equal....not his inferior. He respects her and his devotion to her is just as strong as his devotion to Toothless.
If you pay close attention in the first movie, Astrid looks sympathetic twords Hiccup when he’s being bullied about the machine he made to catch Toothless and even glares at the others after Hiccup has walked past them.

I am so happy that you are not afraid to talk about shipping in your videos. It makes it feel like you accept all parts of a fandom. Also, great job on your videos. I can't wait to see even more of your videos.
Of course Hiccup and Astrid are a good couple! They're a great couple!!!! They are so great that they put Disney to shame! Everything about their relationship is perfect. They didn't rush into things. They understand each others flaws. And they're always there for each other. They have to be the best couple in animation history!
Totally agree!! They are perfect by all means, they accept each other with qualities and defects, they are always there for each other, leaning, listening, following, trusting and believing in each other... they are totally a role model of how a real life couple should be, what to give and what to get back, they may not be perfect as individuals but they are perfect together, the weakness of one is supported by the strenght of the other one ❤ #hicstridForLife
So... before Hiccup got good fighting dragons, Astrid was like Helga from Hey, Arnold!? Had feelings for him but felt she wouldn't be able to live normally if she expressed her feelings and hid them behind insults and treating him badly?
One of the reasons I don't like her when she was 15, teens at that age don't always make some good choices compared to a young adult. Though her 18/20 yr old self is far more likeable.
Seriously, I'm literally on edge to be depressed because there is and can not be no such relationship this generation. I watched race to the edge in its entirety, I watched httyd 1, 2, 3 probably more than 15 times each. Their relationship is soo good that I both hate it because I cannot have a relationship like this and I love it because it is simply the best thing in the world *even if it is not real* . I watch those three movies always because I like to put myself in Hiccup's shoes because that is literally my ultimate goal, achieving such relationship! I'm not saying that I'm an exact replica of course but I kinda look like Hiccup and fix my own electrical stuff, I seriously made myself a 70 pound draw weight spring compound bow and much more. I'm 16 btw. I know I sound like an extreme fanboy but I really have emotional issues and I temporarily relieve those by watching those movies buuut it gets worse later on because what actually happens is I remind myself over and over again that I will definitely not have this kind of relationship. 99% of the girls my age are (execuse me but something had to be said)bitches that only hang up with bitter emotionless bad boys who has an iq score of 7 which also makes that girl stupid. I really want genuine love. I need a person which will fill my gaps. I need someone to trust and I need someone that will trust me. I felt like I need to say this; I listen to jazz, blues, funk and I play the sax. Ah man how can I deal with these issues.. I really need someone that will listen and actually understand that. Every person I met just looked like they listened but actually did not. Umm wanna talk? 🥲 Update: just watched 1st, 2nd and 3rd movies 2 times each *today*
I genuinely love that in the second movie Hiccup and Astrid's relationship was already well developed that the movie didn't have any "relationship drama". That movie had the potential to go in so many directions I personally wouldn't have liked but it didn't and I was so flipping happy!
Hiccstrid is one of my favorite fictional ships because their progression is realistic and it didn't happen out of the blue. I feel Astrid admired and was later attracted to Hiccup's own kind of strength. This is why I believe she hugged and kissed him after their first flight because he proved he was strong in his own way and not in the typical viking macho way. They also balance each other out and understand one another.
I’m not 💯% sure if it’s official.....but I think their is the possibility that Astrid did have feelings for Hiccup (to some extent) before the events of HTTYD 1....then again I could be wrong....so, you never know.
I loved this video! I can't wait for the next How To Train Your Dragon! Toothless is getting a girlfriend AND he's not the last night fury! 😱😱😱 THERE COULD BE TOOTHLESS BABIES!!!
That would entail at least one more "How to Train Your Dragon" movie, which I kinda doubt Disney is willing to work on, unless #3 is off-the-charts popular, they sell a shitload of movie merchandise, and there is an extremely high demand for a fourth movie or later. That would be pretty awesome, though, and it is sad, that this has to be the last How to Train Your Dragon movie... I hope #3 is uber popular, and that they do sell a ton of merch, and then turn around to see the fans wanting MORE, creating the necessary demand for a fourth movie! I mean, one would think off-the-charts popularity of the third movie, plus the sales of God-knows-how-much merchandise going through the roof ought to give them at least a good start, on paying for the production and creation of a fourth film!
Astrid and Hiccup remind me of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. Especially with how they're both equals to each other and how they are there for each other.
I think the biggest reason it took them so long is because Astrid is a warrior, so she's pretty clueless about love. She seemed to be noticing really late Hiccup loved her as she called them "Just friends" To Heather despite all the flirting. And Hiccup is a bit socially awkward so he just kept flirting carefully but didn't approach her directly, which is what would have made her notice his feelings for sure. They're frigging adorable though. They match so well.
IMO, Astrid grew up in a warrior based culture and probably felt a lot of pressure as the one really successful warrior female in the age group to marry another “strong” man. She might have had some sort of crush on Hiccup but might have felt he wasn’t Viking enough. However, after the events of HTTYD where Hiccup shows the kind of person he really is and comes into his own, it was easier for her to accept her feelings. In that movie we see her tell him that he wasn’t a coward for not killing a dragon, but brave for daring to break the norm and try and ride one. Alternatively, she might just be attracted to brave dudes and didn’t see him as an option before Hiccup showed his bravery.
You know that there's a series of 6 season on Netflix: How to train your dragon Race to the edge; where Hiccup and Astrid are dating and Hiccup proposes to Astrid=Bethrothal
If you watch Dragons race to the edge in Netflix then you'll understand how they start dating and how they became close. Btw it has 6 seasons and they are really good.🖒
I think Astrid did have a bit of a thing for Hiccup, but secretly, because since Hiccup was a nerd she didnt want to ruin her popularity by being friendly to him at first. And at first we might think she was irritated by him because he was getting all the attention in the arena,but I think,like many teens experience at that age, that frustration really meant something else ;)
in the first movie in the scene where gober is walking hiccup back to his house when they walk past the kids making fun of him Astrid looked generally sad or sorry for hiccup.
I kind of feel like it was the Bewilderbeast that appeared in the last episode of Dragons: Race to the Edge. Then the egg grew into Valkaʻs Bewilderbeast…since this egg doesnʻt appear in How to Train Your Dragon 2.
Hahahahahaa omg I thought I was the only one screaming and biting my pillow when watching them on the series! Lol I've never fangirled this much with any other couple in my life 😍
You can watch it for free on Kimcartoon website. Here's the list of episodes. Sadly, I could only find one with descriptions so it might spoil something. dreamworks.fandom.com/wiki/DreamWorks_Dragons_episode_list
Great theory my dude. My channel is completely dedicated to the Hiccstrid topic. I've made a video similar to this, and you seem to have covered up the stuff I missed. Good job!
Cynthia4lyfe You should watch them in this order: Riders of berk then Defenders of berk and then Race to the edge otherwise you'll get confused because a lot of episodes are referenced in episodes that follow. Heck the first episode of Race to the edge is a spoiler to the ending of defenders of berk.
Did anyone notice that in the first movie, Astrid never really mocked or made fun of Hiccup with everyone else? And remember what Astrid did when she first saw Toothless? She thought he was a threat and her immediate reaction was to protect Hiccup. Maybe they weren’t exactly friends at that point, but Astrid clearly cared about him.
Hiccstrid is 1 of the best Animated Couples (greatest of all time in my mind) but unfortunately (spoiler alert) they're on no.2 on msmojo top 10 Animated Couples.
So the other day I was watching Sofia the First and the episode was about Cedric and his dad and Cedric's dad had a family wand and I realized that it looked a lot like the family wand in Wizards of Waverly Place it could just be a coincidence or The Russo family in Wizards of Waverly Place could be descants of Cedric's family from Sofia the first and that's why they have the same family wand🤔 What do you think Wotso Videos?
Oh my god thank you I have always loved the httyd franchise and watched all of the movies and shows and I absolutely love hicstried ( I think that’s how you spell it) so thanks I love this video 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Elizabeth Beltran here's my theory. They will live in the hidden world together, until they realize that they can't coexist. Just like in the books, the dragons will go into hiding and to protect their existence, Hiccup will say that they are legends. But at the end of the book, while on his death bed, he waits for toothless to come back for one last time and inspires the reader to go out and find a dragon and that they are still out there, you just have too look. So yes, they will separate in the movie. It's supposed to be bittersweet.
Mod_ThunderWolf I think that means that there is still a possibility for the dragons to be out there, you just have to look for them. Just like in the books. I am pretty sure it'll end with "in my beginning is my end, there were dragons when I was a boy"
@WillFanofMany will if that's the case then toothless should be a lot smaller and not a nightfury because in the books he's not a nightfury, so in my opinion sure they try to follow the books but not completely
This was a beautiful and amazing video!!!!!! I love the knowledge and thought process used to make this. I can't get enough of Hiccup and Astrid and this was a beautiful breakdown of their relationship. Thank you
Here is problem that bothers me, Hiccup was the first to like Astrid before Astrid started to like Hiccup. If this is true what would happen if Toothless was never shoot down, resulting with no spark of bondage and all the chemistry between the to wouldn’t never take place. I understand why Hiccup likes Astrid but I don’t understand Astrid’s mood and actions when she starts to develop feelings for Hiccup. For example the kisses and need of protection she has towards Hiccup during Httyd through DOB feel unnecessary and out of her character from what see was in the beginning(no one just changes that fast even if you begin to like someone you had no interest in before), also in rtte she state there just friends even thou they are aware of each other’s feeling. Hiccup always has like her and we(the audience) can understand why because we see most of the series form his point of view therefore his actions can be explained. Can you explain Astrid’s actions, thought process and moods throughout the series, also if Hiccup never did shoot down Toothless would Astrid ever have a interest in Hiccup to have a relationship(personally I think it is unlikely) support you statement no strings attached to how you feel about the characters, just facts based on the events of the series with everything staying the same except for all the odious causal factors resulting in Hiccup shooting Toothless down. This is one of those relationships like Spiderman and MJ, would MJ fall in love with Peter Parker even if he was never bitten by the spider. The answer is that she feel in love with a part of Peter that Peter could never be if he was never Spider-Man. This relationship Between Hiccup and Astrid are similar in most ways, I advice you take a look at these so called “Lucky” relationship(where it in order for the relationship to be possible they would have to be at the right place, right time, right circumstances, right situation, all the way to the point where things haded to be just right or the relationship would never happen)
actually I think she just get suprised for what that tiny and weak boy really was "brave and humble" so she tho he worth it, but obviously at the beginning in that first "rush kiss" they were teens and that's why at the tv show they didn't start dating, because they knew the liked to each other but that were teens and shy so it was better to drive that they really like them with a long and confident friendship
I think everything you say is pretty much explained in the video, so I don’t get your criticism here. Astrid was always a supporter of Hiccup’s determination and tries to make sure to bring him back on his feet everytime he feels like just giving up, which is seen in both films and the series. She was upset with him in the first movie during the training because he wasn’t even trying and then cause she was just jealous that he became so good all of the sudden. But she clearly appreciated the way he tried so hard to do things right and when she understands why he wanted to protect Toothless and that he was determined to do it, she supported him but also demonstrated her admiration returning his affection in the way that her personality leads her to. They’re Vikings, not princes and princesses, so they obviously weren’t going to be reciting poems to show their love
I really like the way you say dragon. This was a really nice video. Thank you.

a.s.r.a *-* fun fact: Viggo was meant to mirror Hiccup, and that is cemented in S6, E7 when Viggo made the fire sword mirroring Hiccups
Man looking back puberty hit Hiccup pretty hard😯

I watch those three movies always because I like to put myself in Hiccup's shoes because that is literally my ultimate goal, achieving such relationship! I'm not saying that I'm an exact replica of course but I kinda look like Hiccup and fix my own electrical stuff, I seriously made myself a 70 pound draw weight spring compound bow and much more. I'm 16 btw. I know I sound like an extreme fanboy but I really have emotional issues and I temporarily relieve those by watching those movies buuut it gets worse later on because what actually happens is I remind myself over and over again that I will definitely not have this kind of relationship. 99% of the girls my age are (execuse me but something had to be said)bitches that only hang up with bitter emotionless bad boys who has an iq score of 7 which also makes that girl stupid. I really want genuine love. I need a person which will fill my gaps. I need someone to trust and I need someone that will trust me. I felt like I need to say this; I listen to jazz, blues, funk and I play the sax. Ah man how can I deal with these issues.. I really need someone that will listen and actually understand that. Every person I met just looked like they listened but actually did not. Umm wanna talk? 🥲
Update: just watched 1st, 2nd and 3rd movies 2 times each *today*
Love is unexpected but once you find it cherish it forever ♥
I genuinely love that in the second movie Hiccup and Astrid's relationship was already well developed that the movie didn't have any "relationship drama". That movie had the potential to go in so many directions I personally wouldn't have liked but it didn't and I was so flipping happy!
I think that: They are the best couple in the history of animation!
Don’t question it Isaac. Let them be adorable together. 😍
Hiccstrid is one of my favorite fictional ships because their progression is realistic and it didn't happen out of the blue. I feel Astrid admired and was later attracted to Hiccup's own kind of strength. This is why I believe she hugged and kissed him after their first flight because he proved he was strong in his own way and not in the typical viking macho way. They also balance each other out and understand one another.
I’m not 💯% sure if it’s official.....but I think their is the possibility that Astrid did have feelings for Hiccup (to some extent) before the events of HTTYD 1....then again I could be wrong....so, you never know.
One of my top OTPs tbh
I loved how they ended it.
Truely the best movie franchise ever!
Another wonderful video. Thank you so much. I love How To Train Your Dragon.
when she said
"Go get him babe!"
In httyd 2 I lost it.
Me too😂😂😂😂
I literally 2 footed my door after that
Is it bad I’ve been waiting for this?
Great video!!
No that's awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
Wotso Videos I did! It was amazing!!
they are a beautiful couple
4:33 what is with their noses??
Sharp Design lol 😂
MrfantasticXX Gaming
kinda looks like Flynn Rider's wanted poster
Sharp Design YEAH WOW 😂
Cute as buttons of course 😝
?
I loved this video! I can't wait for the next How To Train Your Dragon! Toothless is getting a girlfriend AND he's not the last night fury! 😱😱😱 THERE COULD BE TOOTHLESS BABIES!!!
Oh my gosh true!! I can't wait to see the final film!!!!!
Wotso Videos Yeah! I'm just sad it's the last one
That would be SO ADORABLE!!!!
Reyna Gil IKR like I think I would explode!
That would entail at least one more "How to Train Your Dragon" movie, which I kinda doubt Disney is willing to work on, unless #3 is off-the-charts popular, they sell a shitload of movie merchandise, and there is an extremely high demand for a fourth movie or later. That would be pretty awesome, though, and it is sad, that this has to be the last How to Train Your Dragon movie... I hope #3 is uber popular, and that they do sell a ton of merch, and then turn around to see the fans wanting MORE, creating the necessary demand for a fourth movie! I mean, one would think off-the-charts popularity of the third movie, plus the sales of God-knows-how-much merchandise going through the roof ought to give them at least a good start, on paying for the production and creation of a fourth film!
Astrid and Hiccup remind me of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. Especially with how they're both equals to each other and how they are there for each other.
When Astrid got jealous of heather I was so hyped to see what would happen!
For anyone who’s interested this is the episode where hiccup proposed “Sandbusted is the second episode of Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 5.”
I think the biggest reason it took them so long is because Astrid is a warrior, so she's pretty clueless about love. She seemed to be noticing really late Hiccup loved her as she called them "Just friends" To Heather despite all the flirting. And Hiccup is a bit socially awkward so he just kept flirting carefully but didn't approach her directly, which is what would have made her notice his feelings for sure. They're frigging adorable though. They match so well.
Do a theory grandmother willow explained please🌲🌳
Definitely need to do this!
Wotso Videos thanks for replying I love your channel
Yes! Please! No idea if Grandmother Willow's a tree spirit, or her Grandmother's spirit into the tree she's buried under! Wondering that for YEARS! ^^
IMO, Astrid grew up in a warrior based culture and probably felt a lot of pressure as the one really successful warrior female in the age group to marry another “strong” man. She might have had some sort of crush on Hiccup but might have felt he wasn’t Viking enough. However, after the events of HTTYD where Hiccup shows the kind of person he really is and comes into his own, it was easier for her to accept her feelings. In that movie we see her tell him that he wasn’t a coward for not killing a dragon, but brave for daring to break the norm and try and ride one. Alternatively, she might just be attracted to brave dudes and didn’t see him as an option before Hiccup showed his bravery.
i heard hiccup mentioning Astrid as "Milady" or "My Lady" in Gift of tje night fury....
You know that there's a series of 6 season on Netflix: How to train your dragon Race to the edge; where Hiccup and Astrid are dating and Hiccup proposes to Astrid=Bethrothal
If you watch Dragons race to the edge in Netflix then you'll understand how they start dating and how they became close. Btw it has 6 seasons and they are really good.🖒
I think Astrid did have a bit of a thing for Hiccup, but secretly, because since Hiccup was a nerd she didnt want to ruin her popularity by being friendly to him at first. And at first we might think she was irritated by him because he was getting all the attention in the arena,but I think,like many teens experience at that age, that frustration really meant something else ;)
in the first movie in the scene where gober is walking hiccup back to his house when they walk past the kids making fun of him Astrid looked generally sad or sorry for hiccup.
You just earned yourself a new sub! Great video, keep up the great work!
In buffalord soldier both hiccup and Astrid say "I can't imagine a world without you in it"
Dragon race to the edge, the last 3 episode of season 4 will explain.
This ship makes me feel so happy inside but incredibly single too
How did Drago Find The Bewilderbeast?
Toppo Hakai if you watch race to the edge then you'll find out
Violent Violet It can't be the egg or the bewilderbeast under the island in the end of the Episode but how?
I kind of feel like it was the Bewilderbeast that appeared in the last episode of Dragons: Race to the Edge. Then the egg grew into Valkaʻs Bewilderbeast…since this egg doesnʻt appear in How to Train Your Dragon 2.
Me in 2018; can’t wait for the 3rd movie
Me in 2020; amazing movie
HICCSTRID ARE AN AMAZING COUPLE!!!! THEY ARE SO FRICKING CUTE!!!! IVE NEVER FANGIRLED SO MUCH IN RACE TO THE EDGE!!!!
Hahahahahaa omg I thought I was the only one screaming and biting my pillow when watching them on the series! Lol I've never fangirled this much with any other couple in my life 😍
I CAN RELATE OMGGG!!!!
walking away from a fire toward someone is a good way of saying "I have a crush on you"
There is an 8 season series where you can probably notice the relationship growing
Kiara Van Reenen where can you find it
You can watch it for free on Kimcartoon website.
Here's the list of episodes. Sadly, I could only find one with descriptions so it might spoil something.
dreamworks.fandom.com/wiki/DreamWorks_Dragons_episode_list
Proof Wotso Videos doesn't just do Disney. Great job expanding your range to other companies such as DreamWorks 😃
Wait so your telling me hiccup had a crush on Astrid! Well I already knew it
I LOVE IT YOU TRULY MADE MY DAY WITH THIS VIDEO PLEASE MAKE THE ONE WHERE THEY BECOME IN ENGAGED 😊😍❤❤
I've always wondered this when watching the Train your dragon movies ❤️ Another awesome video Isaac, keep up the great work!
Love your vids Isaac. You should make a video on ducktales 2017 knowing that the end of the 1st season is coming
I probably will after the season is over!
I remember watching the original series when I was a kid. Would love to see this idea.
Please please please please please please please make more videos on how to train your Dragon I love this one so much
1:59 so basically like a Tsundere... that changes stuff
Would you please do a theory on narnia?
Animations Z PLEASE
YES PLEASE
Great theory my dude. My channel is completely dedicated to the Hiccstrid topic. I've made a video similar to this, and you seem to have covered up the stuff I missed. Good job!
Yay! Love this video! Also, THERE’S ANOTHER DRAGONS SERIES?!?! Dragons Riders of Berk was it? I DIDNT KNOW!!!!
FearlessAstridHofferson
I only knew about Race to the edge.
FearlessAstridHofferson Should you watch these 3 in a certain order? Or is it pretty random?
Cynthia4lyfe You should watch them in this order: Riders of berk then Defenders of berk and then Race to the edge otherwise you'll get confused because a lot of episodes are referenced in episodes that follow. Heck the first episode of Race to the edge is a spoiler to the ending of defenders of berk.
Sarah * Thanks! You have perfecting timing, I just finished my other show an hour ago so now it's time for lots of Dragon fun😊
Cynthia4lyfe No problem! I really love this franchise and race to the edge especially is amazing hope you enjoy watching it :)
I watched every series of HTTYD and i loved them all but i wish there will be more series like hiccup being a chief and all/
What made you name your Chanel ‘Wotso videos’?
This Video was AWESOME 👏🏻 I love Hiccstrid and HTTYD Great Job
They need to date and then get married and have 2 kids one boy one girl sorry fan girling
Unicorn X they did date and are married for the kids part 😂😂😂😂 we’ll see in how to train ur dragon 3😂😂
Alazei Grajeda *romantic jazz starts playing*
Ouch so cliché. Nope.
Unicorn X in the 3rd movie they get married and have 2 children
A blonde boy
And a auburn girl
Spoiler alert!
Funny u said that it lit ended up exactly like that! Including one boy one girl
Did anyone notice that in the first movie, Astrid never really mocked or made fun of Hiccup with everyone else? And remember what Astrid did when she first saw Toothless? She thought he was a threat and her immediate reaction was to protect Hiccup. Maybe they weren’t exactly friends at that point, but Astrid clearly cared about him.
Awesome video! It would cool if you could do one on Kronk next!
I'm so glad you referenced the Riders of Berk TV series, I feel like it gets pushed aside despite being a part of the movies.
Hiccstrid is 1 of the best Animated Couples (greatest of all time in my mind) but unfortunately (spoiler alert) they're on no.2 on msmojo top 10 Animated Couples.
Greatest in my mind too! I've never fangirled or ship any other couple in my life like them 😍
All good things never truly come to a end....it is just a matter of how much you love it and are willing to stay with it
So the other day I was watching Sofia the First and the episode was about Cedric and his dad and Cedric's dad had a family wand and I realized that it looked a lot like the family wand in Wizards of Waverly Place it could just be a coincidence or The Russo family in Wizards of Waverly Place could be descants of Cedric's family from Sofia the first and that's why they have the same family wand🤔 What do you think Wotso Videos?
Hands down, the are the BEST animated couple.
Please do Ben’s backstory. Love you videos! 💑💑💑!
I will likely do this soon! 😊
Wotso Videos THANK YOU SO MUCH!
that was a trip down memory lane i liked the slow build up between them
Do a thoery how were Webby Vanderquack's parents. Love your videos
Oh my god thank you I have always loved the httyd franchise and watched all of the movies and shows and I absolutely love hicstried ( I think that’s how you spell it) so thanks I love this video 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it
Yey

Hiccup literally gives Astrid his betrothal gift in Race to the Edge.
I have shipped Hiccstrid forever and their wedding was so beautiful I almost cried out of sheer happiness
#Hiccstrid4Eva
thank god you're here to give us this blessing
Okay,watch dragon race to the edge on Netflix!plzzz it explains EVERYTHING
There is the Netflix show that shows their relationship: dragons race to the edge.
Even animated characters have girls and im still single
Now i have to start watching the series to get all of this. Thank you, Isaac!! Absolutely loved it
I wanna know how stoick found out that they where dating tbh!
(Dunno if I spelt ‘Stoick’ right please don’t hit me)
U spelt it right
I have to go and watch this series again there’s a lot that I missed out on apparently.
Do you think the dragons and Vikings will separate in the end of the httyd trilogy?
Mod_ThunderWolf but in the trailer Hiccup said “there were dragons when I was a boy” so wouldn’t that be a hint that they have separated?
Elizabeth Beltran here's my theory. They will live in the hidden world together, until they realize that they can't coexist. Just like in the books, the dragons will go into hiding and to protect their existence, Hiccup will say that they are legends. But at the end of the book, while on his death bed, he waits for toothless to come back for one last time and inspires the reader to go out and find a dragon and that they are still out there, you just have too look. So yes, they will separate in the movie. It's supposed to be bittersweet.
Mod_ThunderWolf I think that means that there is still a possibility for the dragons to be out there, you just have to look for them. Just like in the books. I am pretty sure it'll end with "in my beginning is my end, there were dragons when I was a boy"
@WillFanofMany will if that's the case then toothless should be a lot smaller and not a nightfury because in the books he's not a nightfury, so in my opinion sure they try to follow the books but not completely
I'm pretty sure Astrid walking away from an exposition towards hiccup would be a way of expressing love.
What is your dragon in the franchise other than the Night Fury? My favorite is the Monstrous Nightmare.
Triple Stryke
Death Song
This was a beautiful and amazing video!!!!!! I love the knowledge and thought process used to make this. I can't get enough of Hiccup and Astrid and this was a beautiful breakdown of their relationship. Thank you
Here is problem that bothers me, Hiccup was the first to like Astrid before Astrid started to like Hiccup. If this is true what would happen if Toothless was never shoot down, resulting with no spark of bondage and all the chemistry between the to wouldn’t never take place. I understand why Hiccup likes Astrid but I don’t understand Astrid’s mood and actions when she starts to develop feelings for Hiccup. For example the kisses and need of protection she has towards Hiccup during Httyd through DOB feel unnecessary and out of her character from what see was in the beginning(no one just changes that fast even if you begin to like someone you had no interest in before), also in rtte she state there just friends even thou they are aware of each other’s feeling. Hiccup always has like her and we(the audience) can understand why because we see most of the series form his point of view therefore his actions can be explained. Can you explain Astrid’s actions, thought process and moods throughout the series, also if Hiccup never did shoot down Toothless would Astrid ever have a interest in Hiccup to have a relationship(personally I think it is unlikely) support you statement no strings attached to how you feel about the characters, just facts based on the events of the series with everything staying the same except for all the odious causal factors resulting in Hiccup shooting Toothless down.
This is one of those relationships like Spiderman and MJ, would MJ fall in love with Peter Parker even if he was never bitten by the spider. The answer is that she feel in love with a part of Peter that Peter could never be if he was never Spider-Man. This relationship Between Hiccup and Astrid are similar in most ways, I advice you take a look at these so called “Lucky” relationship(where it in order for the relationship to be possible they would have to be at the right place, right time, right circumstances, right situation, all the way to the point where things haded to be just right or the relationship would never happen)
Hiccup Parker this is a way to long comment
Strillian WSBM problem
actually I think she just get suprised for what that tiny and weak boy really was "brave and humble" so she tho he worth it, but obviously at the beginning in that first "rush kiss" they were teens and that's why at the tv show they didn't start dating, because they knew the liked to each other but that were teens and shy so it was better to drive that they really like them with a long and confident friendship
I think everything you say is pretty much explained in the video, so I don’t get your criticism here. Astrid was always a supporter of Hiccup’s determination and tries to make sure to bring him back on his feet everytime he feels like just giving up, which is seen in both films and the series. She was upset with him in the first movie during the training because he wasn’t even trying and then cause she was just jealous that he became so good all of the sudden. But she clearly appreciated the way he tried so hard to do things right and when she understands why he wanted to protect Toothless and that he was determined to do it, she supported him but also demonstrated her admiration returning his affection in the way that her personality leads her to. They’re Vikings, not princes and princesses, so they obviously weren’t going to be reciting poems to show their love
I have BPD I change that quickly bet 😂
I’m sorry but the way you say “dragons” is hilarious 🤣🤣ima start saying it like that just because
