34:40 Outro/Thoughts
A sequel to How to Train Your Dragon was announced in April 2010. DeBlois, who co-directed the first film, began drafting the outline in February 2010. He had agreed to return to direct the second film on the condition that he would be allowed to turn it into a trilogy. He cited The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and My Neighbor Totoro (1988) as his main inspirations, with the expanded scope of The Empire Strikes Back being particularly influential. DeBlois and his creative team visited Norway and Svalbard to look for inspirations for the setting. Composer John Powell returned to score the film. The entire voice cast from the first film also returned, while Blanchett and Hounsou signed on to voice Valka and Drago, respectively. How to Train Your Dragon 2 was DreamWorks' first film to use scalable multi-core processing and the studio's new animation and lighting software.
Thanks for waiting ever so patiently for this reaction, I hope it was worth it!! God, this film was INCREDIBLE!!! I didn't think I could adore Toothless and Hiccup any more than I already do!!🥹🩷 Catch the full reaction on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/niallnochill
You need to watch HTTYD Riders of Berk and Race to Dragons Edge, Those 2 series have so much lore additional info, new dragons and act as more like a fill in the area between movies.
This is The BEST trilogy.
This is The BEST trilogy.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
Perks of Being a Wallflower reaction?!
Stoick and Valka's reunion is the most romantic thing that has ever happened in any animated film ever.
DreamWorks are great at those heartfelt reunions. There's a particular one in Spirit that comes to mind, and I hope Niall watches that one someday. It's an underrated animated masterpiece.
Truly, I love their love for each other
Period
I cannot nOd any more aggressively than I am rn cuz b*tch I AG👏🏾REEEE👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yes 😭 I cry every time.
I've always appreciated how maturely they treat the death of stoic. There's no cheesy, breathy final words from him. No "I love you, my son" moment, he is just suddenly gone. And I think that makes it so much more impactful.
and it's realistic seeing as they are in the middle of a battle.
I love this series because they really do try to keep it as realistic as possible ❤
If Stoic's death hurt, imagine seeing the series faithfully between the two movies... where there is a lot of development. And almost immediately after reuniting with Valka. It's like poor Hiccup was destined not to have both of his parents at the same time for long 😭
Dreamworks truly knows how to make sequels, and it shows. One of the best trilogies ever made.
hiccup has a 1 parent cap
No one:
Drago: AAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAHH!!
@@DaringDasher RIGHT!?? like jeezo man, take it down a notch!!
@@niallnochill It was barbaric. In the time of the barbarians.
I understand that Drago’s yells seem a little over the top! Believe me, I don’t fault anyone for feeling that way because of how wild he gets.
But to me, they make sense when I consider that he’s essentially the antithesis of someone like Hiccup or, more specifically, Valka.
Think about it. Valka lived among dragons for 20 years, and we saw how that time span impacted her approach and mannerisms in her mission to protect them. Drago, however, was physically hurt and stripped of everything by dragons when he was a boy (his monologue about this wasn’t featured in the reaction, though). Then, fueled by his desire for revenge and with no one to tell him otherwise, he sought to control all dragons!
So, imagine someone like Drago dedicating at least double the amount of time Valka did among dragons but learning about ways to control dragons rather than protect them! Hence why he communicates with the dragons with yells rather than gentler gestures. But that long time period also cemented those beliefs of controlling dragons into Drago’s psyche to the point where he felt it was the ONLY way to deal with dragons, and he took his frustrations out on anyone who wouldn’t listen or follow that point of view (hence why both Stoick & Valka said that Drago was a “mad men” and couldn’t be talked to or reasoned with).
Anyway, all this is to say that, when I thought about it more, Drago’s actions and mannerisms made sense given his history.
@@williamhoheisel1822 👀
You missed that part in the first movie where his dad says “I should’ve seen the signs” stoic knew that hiccup was like his mother.
Did you catch that in the first movie Hiccup DIRECTLY parrots his mother’s “Stop! You’re only making it worse!”
Here, Hiccup is 20.
Hiccup and Astrid's love story grows through a holiday special, and a series first set right after the first film, and next two years before the second one.
fun fact: gobber is canonically gay! it's implied in this movie during the stoick/valka reunion scene, gobber says to hiccup "this is why i never married. this and one other reason." it's also been confirmed by the director, dean deblois
he's the most slayful blacksmith around✨️
Also in the series theres an episode where he kind of talks about 'his kind of woman', "I'm going to call her Greta, after my first love. Large, sturdy, beefy some would say."
Some quite "manly" attributes which fits and is probably his way of pretending to be straight (idk about viking culture and queerness, irl and in the HTTYD universe)
@@eurofalke6804 i know irl, vikings had a term for trans people - "argr," meaning "unmanly". (wasn't a slur tho, that's just the literal meaning and not the figurative one.) it would probably extend to gay men too
@@hishighnessleefelix Apparently there's a word "rassragr" that's so insulting that you'd be allowed to kill whoever called you that without any consequences
I pretend that the first movie is the only one that exists not because the other movies are bad, but because they make me sob uncontrollably and I can't handle it (but they're also so good)
I honestly haven't even moved on from this one. Like, he JUST reunited with his wife, damn it 😭
I can't even handle this so imagine how I handled the 3rd movie (I didn't). Literally only watched it once and never again. I have separation issues as you can tell.
@@user-pt5cl2ro6f omg same. I KNOW I've already watched the next film but it's like my brain suppressed some scenes and now I don't want to watch it again anymore. Even for reactions, I stop on the second film
@@user-pt5cl2ro6f if you haven't already check out the episodes from defenders of berk or race to the edge.. you'll have your characters back that you miss and some. Plus the gift of the night fury movie.
@@also_Caati I’m the exact same way! The way I sobbed in theaters during the 3rd one. Never again. 😭
I like to think that Valka's voice sounds off since she hasn't really socialized with people for 20 years, lol
2:22“no sheep, no glory” lol those poor things are traumatized 😭😂
The third film takes place a year after this one. Also I LOVE that Hiccup and Toothless’ arcs mirror one another. The first they both end up disabled. The second they both end up the leaders of their tribes.
Love your videos! You are one of the only reactioners that isn’t scared to show your emotions on camera in full! The song with the mum and dad makes me cry every time 😭
Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoy the tears 😭🩷
@@niallnochillCan you reaction to How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World? Plis
@@Ghossst-- I think it's fair to assume that that'll be happening in a few weeks
@@niallnochill There's 2 animated show taking place between the first 2 moives, "riders of berk" and "race to the edge" (witch is even better but as it's a continuation of the first show it's best to watch it in second) and they are just as good if not better then the movies, explain a lot and showcases many dragons. You should watch them even if you don't react to it.
Btw it didnt show in the video. But at the very end when hiccup caught the black sheep, he put it in Astrids instead of his own. I just think thats the sweetest thing
2:30 he’s actually not kidding, Hiccup and Astrid are canonically betrothed at this point, it happens in Race to the Edge
(Seriously, you need to watch those series, Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, and Race to the Edge, in that order)
Agreed, I love Race to the Edge so much I've basically memorize the whole script so I never forget all the lore drops and story bits in it
I love these shows rtte especially its so good!
Viggo is better than grimmel
@@maxmustermann483 can agree, Viggo is the best non- movie villain
Fun fact: if you watch really closely at 25:43, Valka doesn't just hold on to Cloudjumper, she runs around him to stay on when he spins. The balance and footwork, and the years of experience to predict his movements that well to do that is *wild*
Oh my gosh, I’ve never noticed that, in my 2141738 times watching this movie!! 😅 that’s so cool 😍
the way alpha dragons represented stoic and drago.. and how the alpha lost his tusk just like drago lost his arm literally like toothless and hiccup with tail wing and leg…. theres soo much good details i love that
The way Hiccup gets more fine each movie is just thank you animators 😂
I love this trilogy so much. Seeing the first one as a kid, the second one as a teen and the third one as a young adult... by far some of my favourite memories. I recommend watching the credits from the last one! They always make me tear up.
This movie made me SOB! The entire HTTYD series is phenomenal
I’m soooo excited to watch the 3rd film ✨🩷
I haven't watched this movie in years. Time to cry along with you! *hits play*
**slams the play button**
this is why I love the 2nd series, there are a lot of episodes, yes, but you can litterally SEE Hiccup become chief-material. Like, he slowly grows into this authority figure, the younger members of the tribe start deferring to him more and more for all their important decisions, it's incredible! 🥰
My dad took me to see this film in theaters. So when Stoick died, I was so happy to have him beside me 'cause you know I was balling.
I need “CATE BLANCHETT?!?!” as a sound bite stat.
*dragon nerd intensifies* sooo, there's actually 3 different TV shows for this, there's Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk (both take place right after the first film) (there's also a mini Christmas movie that takes place after the first film) and then there is Race to the Edge which is before the second film, and these three shows flesh out the gang dynamic a LOT and the characters as teens. (there's also a mini Christmas movie after the third film)
4:25 You could watch the specials and shows, then maybe you won’t feel like you missed out anymore since you see them as kids and teenagers lol
My favorite dragon in this movie is most definitely the white Bewilderbeast and Cloud Jumper! Cloud Jumper's species is called a stormcutter! Also prepare for the 3rd movie..-
So excited for this! I’ve dropped everything and am watching it immediately 😍
As long as you pick everything back up afterwards!!😧
The first one was really good but I think this is a rare case where the second film is just better. I love Stoick and Valka's reunion, it's so bittersweet given what happens. Like... you finally see the love of your life again after 20 years and you're happy and singing arguably one of the best songs in cinema and dancing and having a wonderful time, only to have them ripped away and there isn't even time to truly mourn because you have to keep fighting. It broke my heart when Hiccup tells Toothless to go, I hate moments like that in film, it happens all the time where someone or an animal unintentionally causes harm and the person they love lashes out at them. Like, he didn't mean to do it! Don't yell at the poor baby.
i said it before but i really do recommend watching the series that takes place between 1 and 2. You get to see more of Hiccup growing up, the relationship between him and Astrid, more of Stoick's transformation, lore, and more dragons
I have a feeling number 3 is gonna have you sobbing lmao
fun fact: Gobber is confirmed to be an openly gay character. "This is why I never marry, this and one other thing." hints at it and the creators confirmed it! (This is why I love HTTYD 😭✋)
Also it’s totally subtextual hinting in httyd 3 that he will end up with Eret son of Eret
When was that confirmed?
I feel like everyone here loves HTTYD.
When you have the chance you should do Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron or Over the Hedge, two DreamWorks movies I adore and think you would too!
FORREAL Spirit is a must!!!
YESSSS OMG, I LOVE SPIRIT SM- I watched it so much that the DVD disc would actually skip over parts because the disc got scratched from the blu-ray player
Nightfurys are like secret alphas and this movie made me realize that. that's probably also why they're so rare - how many dragons are there per Alpha? The ratio is probably huge, and that's likely why we never meet another Nightfury.
Why we meet another Nightfury is thoroughly explained in a couple sentences in the third film~
@@AlexanderStark ah. havent seen that one yet 😔 but im gonna rent and watch it soon i think
Yes but if there are so few night furys, they shouldn’t exist. Cuz how tf will they reproduce
With toothless the species ends
YES!! I've been waiting for u to drop this video, this movie is my absolute favourite 😭
you have great taste my good friend !!
Just wait for the 3rd!! I still stand by that it's the most well-rounded trilogy I've ever seen, it's such a beautifully wrapped up series. I'm absolutely obsessed with this series and I'm so glad you're loving it!!
there’s a reason this has been my favorite franchise since the first movie came out haha
The tv show is unironically so good. Especially if you love getting to know new dragons. And there are some really cool tv show only characters. Like Dagur for example. That guy is unhinged.
I love when Hiccup says that Toothless had to make it even! Because Toothless had to bite off his leg in the fire, small detail but amazing.
Still don't know how in the hell Drago controlled the dragons. I always chalked it up to him being a special kind of crazy even the dragons were scared of.
Drago technically didn't control them, he controlled the bewiderbeerst. He got ahold of it when it was an egg and abused it its entire life, and he made it control the dragons for him. :)
Hoping for the 3rd soon 👀
it’s been 24 minutes since i dropped this video 😭😭 i must rest my eyeballs
@@niallnochill indeed😂
8:39 Can't wait for you to see How To Train Your Dragon 3 😄
I know Stoic is complicated but he is literally the best. Grew up and saw a whole bunch of the episodes and oh my gosh Stoic was such an incredible dad. He didn’t always know the right thing but he always tried and believed in Hiccup while also wanting to protect him because he loves him.
He is such a good dad. If you wanted to watch a couple of episodes of the show he is the best and Hiccup and him have a beautiful and complicated relationship full of so much admiration and love.
Hey Niall! Just wanted to say, if you want the full story, you should check out dragons: riders if berk and Race to the Edge. However, riders of berk CAN be skipped if you just wanna cut to the chase. Race to the Edge is DEFINITELY worth the watch and takes place in the 5 years between 1 and 2. It shows a lot of Hiccup's new inventions, like his fire sword.
I know this is late, but I honestly think the saddest part of this movie is Drago’s weapon. For those who don’t know, that’s a bullhook. And it’s most commo use was as a tool used for terrorizing, torturing and abusing baby elephants so they still fear their master when they’re fully grown. Drago did that to his bewilderbeast, torturing and breaking it from the moment it hatched. That poor dragon was tortured and brainwashed since it was the equivalent of a newborn child. Learning the truth about that weapon, Drago’s bewilderbeast is honestly the saddest and most heart breaking part of the movie. Poor dragon knew nothing but fear, pain and obedience since it hatched, and as much as love and affection can imprint on a young animal, so can fear. The grey bewilderbeast was completely innocent in this movie. It was a completely and utterly traumatised animal terrified of it’s master since childhood. It’s why I personally can’t stomach the triumphant “final fight” of every single dragon blasting it. The poor creature didn’t deserve any of it, there’s no triumph in brutalizing a scared animal acting only out of fear and trauma.
This movie destroyed me bruh, i still remember.
I love your videos ❤❤❤ keep up The good Work ❤❤❤
does anyone know if niall has seen studio Ghibli movies? i'm so so enjoying this animation "era" (?idk what to call it xD) on the channel, and films like Spirited away or Kiki's delivery service come to my mind when u say like. stunning and heartwarming animation movies. that also teach you abt life kinda:)
i always feel like animation movies that are originally made for kids, they have everything i need, and watching reactions of them is like comfortably enjoying them with a friend, so i'm rllyy glad this series is continuing
I love Studio Ghibli!! I would love for Niall to watch the movies!!
this film is like. a masterclass in foreshadowing and payoff. if you pay attention, you can predict nearly everything that happens, but it doesn't detract from the story - every chekhov gun is fired, every knot tied, it's just beautiful.
absolutely gagged when stoic died bc even though i’ve seen these movies before, i’ve somehow completely forgotten about him dying
If you're interested in seeing Hiccup's growth between the first and second film, maybe you'd be interested in checking out the shows on your own time? They are canon btw, and not only do they show how Hiccup matures and grows his leadership skills and gains confidence, but also lets you see more of his relationships with his father and Astrid and how they develop. If you want more Dreamworks Dragons content, I definitely recommend.
Yeah
The only thing i hate about This movie is Valka coming back Just for Stoic to die. Fcking unfair
Yay, this post made my week!! 😄
and it’s now the weekend!! double the excitement!!
1:44 before he showed it I thought he meant race to the edge 😭
*Edit:* I just realized how EARLY I am like how is that possible-
Wait… maybe that IS what I was thinking of!? Idk, I just know they raced around 😂😂
@@niallnochill OMG THE KING REPLYSSS
@@niallnochillit also could have been dawn of the dragon racers LMAO, httyd has a looot of spinoffs. I'd recommend watching the christmas special if you're up to it!
fun fact there is a show called race to the edge that takes place between movies 1 and 2 which is full of so much lore and so many unique dragons
The Netflix series works so well to build this movie up and explain some of the things introduced in this move, as well as just building lore! It’s a must see
When you said ur going to do this movie I was like yeh he’s going to cry🤣😭😭
I know I said this in the last video but I really think you'd enjoy the TV shows. They give so much depth to the characters and their dragons.
"Missed his former years" YH BC U MISSED THE TV SHOW WATCH ITTTTTTT
"TAKE EM DOWN BABE!" 😊
One of the best quotes in this franchise
@@eurofalke6804 yess! 😊
Just wait until the 3rd One
Now that one made me Cry and Scream
Been waiting for this one. This series is my all time favorite. The movies just get better and better. Can't wait to see your reaction for The Hidden World. Its so good!
ahhhh yay!! Early!! I love this movie so much it handles Hiccups character so well with his realistic growth as well as the grief with the death of his father! Such an amazing sequel!
I don't SPECIFICALLY know how Drago controls the dragons but I kind of just guessed that all the screaming he does is to try and make himself seem scarier and assert dominance over dragons. Not only that, but Drago also found the Bewilderbeast as an egg so he raised and abused it ever since, which made it easier for him to control the dragons he couldn't assert dominance over.
Lol you were thinking race to the edge which is on netflix…it was great and hiccup and astrid basically get engaged in the show
Edit:: RTTE is all bout hiccup and the gang exploring, and the timing/events are ambiguous enough to be mostly canon
The way I screamed when I saw this video-
But honestly٫ How to train your dragon has such a special place in my heart٫ and its one of the only movie series where the story actually gets better as more movies are made
It really is the perfect trilogy. You will love the 3rd as much as these 2! Piece of advice though... have tissues
i love your reactions and this franchise is my favorite (and one of if not the best) out there, now i dont know if you do reactions to tv shows/series but trust me when i say that the shows add so much to the characters, the world, and the dragon species. so even if you dont record your reactions to them (if you do, please be careful dreamworks if very picky about copyright) i highly recommend they are amazing and if your loving this franchise as much as you seem to be then i know you'll love them! P.S. the watch order for the shows is riders of berk, defenders of berk, (both of those take place within a year or so of the first movie), the book of dragons and legend of the boneknapper, race to the edge, (takes place 3 years after the first 2 shows) dawn of the dragon racers. thanks for reading if you do
You didn't include my favourite part of the movie It's when after Astrid says "That's your mother" and then Hiccup says "Well, now you know where I get my dramatic flair" (as Hiccup's hand closes his helmet plate)
I just want to say, I found your videos a couple months ago and watching them has become my greatest day to day joy. I’ve been going through a hard time and you bring me tears of joy and your energy makes me feel giddy and excited so thank you ❤
Loveeeee your reaction videos. It's the best distraction from a bad day. I love the mood, the coziness, like the commentary is SO REAL. Take your time sis, but I'm hyped to see your reaction to the 3rd movie.
This is one of the few movies that NEVER fails to make me cry
I LOVE YOUR VIDSSS 😭
tyyyyyy🤍
I swear, I just spend nearly all of the HTTYD movies SOBBING 😂. Happy parts, sad parts, any parts where Hiccup and Toothless are being too cute... Watching other people watching the movies doesn't change that either. They're 😘👌.
so excited for this reaction, love your videos
i love this animation journey you're going on! i do hope we get more in the future but at the same time don't overexert yourself, anyway love you niall and I hope you're doing well 💞
I am so stoked!😁 I really loved your reaction and am exited to see what you will think of the next one😅. I cried at the end of the third one cause it hit so hard.
Fun fact about Drago and his alpha Drago eased it since it was a hatchling and attacked it with his halberd so even though it’s a lot bigger than him it’s still afraid of the pain and Drago’s screaming
Niall! I only started watching recently but there were so many movies I had never seen before that I thought I would never like but I watched with you! it’s a truly amazing/funny experience when we have the exact same reactions! Thank you for getting me into so many amazing movies! There are also movies that I have seen before and when I know it’s a shocking part I just watch your face every and it’s so funny and cool 😂😂😂 also, 23 MINUTES AGO!!
Saying you feel as though you missed his former years is super interesting because there are multiple series between the first and second movie. Riders of Berk and Race to the Edge are the biggest. Would DEFINITEY recommend at least Race to the Edge, but Riders of berk is a great watch too
I never noticed this explicitly before, but I love how much more efficient the characters are at riding dragons. Like holy cow, Astrid cutting through that wall and drawbridge by barely a hair!
No way, I just woke up, it is week end, and you posted??? What a great start of the day.
Love your reactions and videos, everytime you cry I cry with you. GOOD JOB😭👍
Eret (and Skullcrusher) appreciators/fans
I love these two (perhaps too much)
👇
Always love your videos, but especially this one! Thank you for this❤ I'm glad the reunion with mom wasnt spoiled for you tho! Believe it or not they actually showed Hiccup with her in the trailer when it came out.
the feeling I get at the beginning of this movie when “where no one goes” plays over hiccup and toothless is unexplainable, probably in my top 3 favorite scenes from anything ever
IM SO GLAD YOU REACTED TO THE 2ND PART OF HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, I AM SO HAPPYYY🙏🙏🙏
ALSO THE VIDEO WAS AMAZINGG!
Phenomenal sequel and one I can watch any day of the year. I remember watching it in theaters and it was amazing
I put down EVERYTHINGG!! Watching rnn
The show has Hiccup and Astrid being bad b.tches and simping for each other for years before they actually became a couple as well as truly hilarious moments courtesy of the twins one of my personal favs is when Hiccup knocks out ________ with one punch just saying its worth watching Niall ( :
I've been waiting for this one 🎉
Fav film in the franchise. You gotta love dremworks for making a series for this film to tell us more bout the world
So fun
watching you react it makes me feel like I’m there with you and your one of the few you tubers my mom doesn’t hate
I remember how smug I was when I guessed Valka was Hiccup's mother before she said the line, cause my parents doubted it. Then, I proceeded to cry my eyes out with Stoick's funeral.
Drago is almost certainly dead. He was on a large deep sea aquatic dragon that went underwater, meaning he most likely drowned.
Yess thats what I was waiting for, I love ur videos niall yay !
Not gonna lie sometimes I will just do that symbol that made hiccup chief on my head for no reason
yesss love this movie, still cant get over how good the soundtrack is in all of them 😭😭
please never stop sharing yourself with us!!
cant wait for ur reaction on the 3rd movie!! luv ur vids
