Just watched the httyd live action trailer and there are so many things I could complain about (just the fact that it exists being one of them) but like

They changed the structure of Toothless' hind legs??? In the original his hind legs function the way human legs do, his heel is flat in the ground and the bend of his leg is his knee, making him a plantigrade. But in the live action the bend of his leg is in his ankle?? They made him a digitigrade??? Why??? For what purpose???

#such a fucking innocuous and petty thing to complain about #but as an anatomy nerd this deeply agitates me #it makes more sense for him to be a plantigrade anyway???#skeletal structure wise #most lizards are plantigrades irl #so are most of the quadrupedal dragons in httyd???#so why change it #god its all im gonna be looking at for the duration of time Toothless is on screen in the live action #his fucked up legs that in all honesty probably make him less aerodynamic #cuz he cant fully tuck them against his body #grgrgr #httyd #how to train your dragon #hiccup #toothless #toothless httyd #httyd toothless #how to train your dragon live action #httyd live action #live action httyd #live action #salt #im not joking the first time i watched the trailer this was the thing that i fucking noticed #the structure of a fictional flying lizard's hind legs #kill me
