Random Person: The Light Fury doesn’t make any sense to me-

Hiccup: (taking in a deep sigh) oh my Thor, you’re back…

Random Person: Yessir, I have returned! I need someone to bounce these thoughts off of, and who better than the supposed Dragon Master. (Sits on the ground and pulls Hiccup with them)

Random Person: The Light Fury doesn’t make much sense. Her feet are so small compared to her body, her eyes are too big, she’s curved for some reason. Say, Hiccup- doesn’t Toothless’ side nubs act as whiskers?

Hiccup: Yeah, I think so-

Random Person: Then why does the Light Fury have less? And the two she has are so short I doubt they can actually be helpful. Not to mention her tail, it’s not aerodynamic at all! More suited for aquatic creatures. Is she aquatic Hiccup?

Hiccup: I’m not sure, I’ve hardly gotten a good look at her.

Random Person: (pulls out book) It’s fine, we’ll consult the art book.

Hiccup: art book? Wh-where did you even get that?

Random Person: Silence, Hiccup, I’m researching- HOLY SHIET!

Hiccup: What?

Random Person: Everything makes so much sense now … the Light Fury, she’s a plot device!

Hiccup:

Random Person: Her only purpose is to be a female! “We had to explore how the Light Fury would walk and make her feel like a female.” “We had to control all the shapes while keeping her both powerful and graceful so she didn’t fall too much into the reptilian category.”

Random Person: Now I know why she only had eight minutes of screen time! She was never meant to be a character, just a plot device! An overly feminized plot device!

Random Person: That’s why she has no name! No personality. You don’t gotta be a character in order to be a plot device.

Hiccup: of course she doesn’t have a name; she’s wild.

Random Person: I call bullshit. When you first met Toothless, you gave him a name! Why not for her?

Hiccup: I just forgot okay? And I saw male Light Furies, they looked the same-

Random Person: yeah? How do you know they were males?

Hiccup: Because-

Random Person: I saw a Light Fury with an aerodynamic tail, how do we know that wasn’t a male?

Hiccup: I-

Random Person: we don’t. Because you guys never went outside the archipelago. You guys probably coulda found more Light Furies, other tribes too! Heck, if you guys went outside the archipelago I bet you coulda found more Night Furies!

Hiccup:

The book series began in 2003 and I was so disappointed when the film came out because of how different it was from the book series, whenever I would encounter film only fans who had no idea who Alvin the Treacherous or Madguts the Murderous were.

getting a HTTYD ask in my box in the year of our lord 2024 is WILD

I think it's absolutely fair to have negative perceptions of film adaptations when you were exposed to the original media. Between building the imagery in your head, and the amount of context and material that doesn't always have a chance to translate to screen, it would be a stark contrast.

That being said, I do think that the films on their own absolutely stand up to the original work, and creates a beautiful narrative that can be enjoyed by folks who may not have been into HTTYD prior to the first film coming out. I would have never given the books a chance if not for the movies! (also, I'm speaking more on 1 & 2 here. I have too many issues with 3 to lump it in lol)

How bittersweet it is to see that the end of Httyd is near. So sweet is the fruit that is Httyd 3 and how utterly bitter that is the end of it. Heard that they might continue to make movies in the world of Httyd though not focusing on the main cast if Httyd3 is successful enough.

To be fair, dragons are pretty rad.
