    One of the most beautiful parallels in this film is how Toothless flies Astrid around wildly and terrifies her until she apologizes to Hiccup, and at the end, he doesn't reveal that Hiccup is alive until Stoic apologizes.

      That look toothless has on his face is too perfect.
      Stoic: You brought him back alive!
      Toothless: You damn right I did, what, who you think you talking to maaaan you trippin, don't act all surprised

      I love how that works on multiple levels, though I kind-of see it as both Astrid and (especially) Stoick apologising to both Hiccup *and* Toothless. When Toothless is performing the crazy aggressive aerobatics with Astrid he's essentially responding to her own aggression and showing her what he *could* do if he didn't trust Hiccup; the fact that Hiccup is strongly protesting this approach when Toothless's instincts have actually found the most direct way to get through to the axe-wielding warrior maiden he's just met just makes it funnier.
      Obviously the scene with Stoick is much heavier emotionally; Toothless's experiences with Stoick have only involved witnessing hurt towards Hiccup and himself - having protected his best friend from the explosion and fire, Toothless is fully prepared to protect Hiccup from his own father until given a reason to believe it's unnecessary.
      Another aspect to add to the (already humungous) pile of "beautiful" in this movie is the way that Toothless - a non-human character initially portrayed as a threat - is the first to realise just how special a human being Hiccup is. On the basis of a sort-of wary initial trust, Hiccup gave Toothless back his ability to fly. In the subsequent scenes with Astrid and Stoick, Toothless is essentially demanding that both of them acknowledge just how much they have in his friend... And he does it without saying a single word.

      When Hiccup puts the tail on Toothless, Toothless is modelled after one of the animators cats with a piece of tape on its tail. In the movie Toothless takes inspiration from cats in general, not just the animators' cats, as well as dogs. In the first movie he is primarily based on cats. In the second, he's much closer to dog, I.e. playing fetch with Hiccup's leg and wagging his tail

      With all the great parts of this movie, the loss of the leg might have been my favorite because we felt little sadness.

Such a perfect way to end the story.

    For all the mistakes and failures to communicate, Stoic is actually a great leader. He knows how to motivate his people to do what needs to be done. He's not afraid to get into the dirty work or face danger, he's smart and observant on the battlefield (when everyone else was celebrating the dragons running away, he was still paying attention, sensing something was off.), and he does his best for his people. But no one person has all the answers and he needed to learn to listen to those around him who might see something he missed. Once he did, he was able to open himself to new possibilities and trust his son. He's a stubborn Viking, but even when he said Hiccup wasn't his son anymore, he actually staggered with the weight of what he'd said because he really does care.

    This movie is full of snall details that are worth the rewatch.
    First, is that Toothless actually responds when people apologize. Leveling out when Astrid says sorry, and showing Hiccup is alive to Stoick when he's begging forgiveness.
    Second, is that moments after the "you're not my son" scene that's been done to death in all movies ever, Stoick actually staggers a bit in shock and regret at what he's said. He powers through it, but the haunted look in his eye truly sells the moment!

      To many already doing or done it, so many more animations out there. Not a bad one but all animations take a long time, just wish people would start doing or at least suggesting different things. Personally I'd love to see a bunch of different cartoons or animes reviewed episode by episode, like Dragon ball, or Bleach for ones that got big in the States, or old school cartoons like G I Joe or Transformers. Heck even one like Thunder cats or for a laugh even the episodes of Super Mario's super show. There are so many but you see same ones all the time, that's my only complaint against the idea. Dont mean I wouldn't watch it if done, but hope for different things to react to.

  • @Azameanie

    I love that one of the primary themes in this one is the concept of humility. When Hiccup takes credit for them flying Toothless gives him a WTF look and chucks him off. At the end Toothless doesn’t reveal that he saved Hiccup until Stoick apologizes. It’s important and always there in the background.

    • @turricanedtc3764

      It works both ways in the scene where they try the prosthetic tail for the first time. Hiccup is the only one who knows that his initial design won't stay extended in the slipstream, because Toothless can't see it. Toothless bucks Hiccup for sounding cocky, but quickly learns the hard way that he still can't fly without Hiccup's help.

She'll stand up for him but also back away and let him lead. She'll show loyalty to her king like in 3 where she was the first to remove the saddles. But she is definitely her own strong role model.

    One of the finest films ever made. The 3rd one made me cry. 11 years since the first one. 7 years since the 2nd one. 2 years since the last one.

    I highly recommend watching the 2nd and 3rd How to Train Your Dragon Movies. Every one of these movies are AMAZING!
    Also they have multiple Netflix original series which are also really good and I enjoyed them! The main series is called “Race To The Edge”

    Something very important that she skipped past:: when Stoic tells Hickup "You're not my son", he walks out of the door, and we actually see him outside, instantly regretting what he just said. It's a moment that shows that Stoic isn't just a loudmouth, but a father. He feels like he shouldn't have said that, but his pride won't let him take it back. It humanizes him in a way that makes his later turnaround more believable.

    25:53 "I'm sorry for the screaming and awwwww-ing constantly." It's why I subscribed. It's fun.
    Edit: I wanted to add that I only watch your videos for movies I've seen, because spoilers. But, of the ones I have seen, I know with a high degree of precision what parts you'll scream and awww. That's the fun of it for me. I will admit to being a bit disappointed that you don't react to (or you edit out) specific parts that I think you'll really like. For example, the 'women's gathering' in Endgame. I was sure after the Return of the King video that it would warrant a nice reaction. You said a few seconds after it, "Wow. There's a lot of women helping women here." Didn't exactly match my expectation. All in all, you provide very entertaining content. Thank you.
