Dragons: Race to the edge is a literal pinball machine of villains.

First its Alvin, then he changes for the best, then Dagur who goes through an entire arc, then Viggo dies then doesn't. Then because a monstrous nightmare helped him, he's OK and didn't want to harm another dragon. (Yay arcs) Then Krogan gets revealed, only for Johann to be mastermind pulling the strings. Johann gets turned into a forever icicle.

Then Krogan gets killed by Drago, which sets the events of the second movie.

It's a pinball machine, but a fun one to watch!

Hiccup still gets a lot of criticism for his decisions in Httyd 2, but I feel like they make sense and it's because of the tv-shows.

He doesn't want to be chief?

Well, he just spent a whole year mapping the world outside of the Archipelago, that's a lot of freedom. So of course, he doesn't know who he is now and doesn't think his father's lifestyle fits with him.

And in that year, he almost did become chief when Stoick almost died. In that scene when Spitelout is sent out specifically to bring Hiccup home to succeed his dying father, they already call him chief! This, despite Hiccup's plea towards Spitelout to not say it.

Chiefdom for Hiccup means losing his father. (Which is exactly how he ended up becoming chief, too)

He thinks he can change Drago's Mind?

Of course, he does! Alvin switched sides, Dagur switched sides, Viggo saw dragons as something more. And let's not forget Stoick and his entire village, including Astrid and his friends.

In a way, he changed Mala's mind, too.

In a way, he changed the minds of the dragons about humans.

He tries to end a war by talking to a warmonger?

Again, of course, he does. He ended their war with the dragons, fought in a war with the Outcasts, then the Berserker, then the Hunters, then the Flyers.

Of course, he thinks he's just as capable of making the most responsible calls in war when he has fought in several ever since he was 15. This, although Stoick has decades more experience and actually met Drago before.

Not to mention that all of the bloodshed was on the side of the enemy, and RttE confirms this. Hunters and Flyers are dying in those battles.

If anything, Hiccup talking to Drago first is him giving Drago a chance to save himself and his men. Something Astrid pretty much confirms when she threatens Drago that he better not lay a hand on them or Hiccup and Toothless will blow his fleet to splinters.

Which, in the tv-shows, they do. And then Drago did end up dead at the end of the movie.

Another kid in the chat finished watching the series and we remembered, that I had a fucking theory and it fits the lore of the universe very well. And it concerns two of the most mysterious characters that we were not shown — Oswald the Agreeable (Dagur and Heather's father) and Viggo's grandfather (whom we named Ulric, and took the nickname from the book). I called it the Dragon Eye Saga and I would like to see a spinoff about this couple. The grandfather's fate is unknown, but I remember the moment with the discovery of the Dragon Eye. It was the Grimborn ship where in the captain's cabin there was a skeleton of a large man clutching the device. And also Viggo's words that the DE had been in their family for centuries (so he saw it, trivially in childhood or youth, and he knows how it works.) But why was it lost and he was looking for it? And Oswald hid the most important lenses for the DE in his family. That's why it seems like there's a connection between the two. The theory is that the two of them were able to decipher the lenses of the device, and perhaps they were not just allies, but friends.

And apparently they both understood the danger of this thing in the wrong hands. Which is why they decided to hide it, and the lenses. Some lenses were hidden in the Grimborns style — with traps and riddles, others in unusual places. The lenses were hidden, Oswald decided to keep one for himself, and give the other two to his children. Ulric kept the device itself with him. Apparently, towards the end of his life, he went on a voyage, leaving Viggo as his successor. But he did not return. The Reaper ran aground and Ulric died there, holding the Dragon Eye even after his death.

Oswald went to hide the most important lens, which belonged to him, and eventually suffered a shipwreck, after which he got stuck on Vanaheim and ended his life there far from his beloved children.

Perhaps a compelling reason to urgently hide DE and the lenses was the appearance of Drago Bludvist and his idea of an army of dragons. After all, an army needs a dragon king, and DE leads to him.

Ok ik I can be little slow, but did people notice that the branding tool that the dragon hunters threatened hiccup(/dagger) with yk the one they demonstrated on the bucket

(Season 3 episode 1 enemy of my enemy)

Is the same branding mark/ scar that eret has in httyd2

And ik when Krogan shows up, viggo and drago are slightly connected(kinda) but never meet. (rtte confirms that with viggo telling Hiccup about krogan's employer but not knowing who it was)

The gang’s names are under-appreciated, not just because they are amazing, but for the comedy potential.

They’re out here being named, Snotlout? Fishlegs? Ruffnut? Tuffnut? Hiccup?

While everyone else has normal names like Viggo, Ryker, Dagur, Heather, Johann, Drago, Mala and so on!

Can. You. Imagine. Being a villain, fighting these teenagers, being defeated, and utterly impressed, and then you ask for their names, thinking it’ll be something amazing like TORMOD THE GREAT, and then it’s… Fishlegs????? Fishlegs Justin Ingerman??

And the leader is HICCup? UHH???!! And his deadly beast is Toothless? Like, “NO??? No no no, I see teeth”

Heavy on Drago, Viggo and Johann + Grimmel.

[toasterdrake]

the fact that hiccup, despite being taller than the average viking height and tallest in his friend group, is actually still a runt when in the perspective of 'product of his giant parents', is hilarious

httyd1 hiccup: aww fml i'm so small and weak compared to my peers :(

httyd2 hiccup: my dad's almost 7 foot it counts ok

also that so he has something intimidating to overcome they keep making the villains massive. these people should be topping out before 6 foot

Dragon Hunter Infiltration Arc

Viggo had wasted no time after the pleasantries, questioning her on things she had not thought known by anyone. He held her gaze. If she looked away, she knew, it would be a weakness, an admission. She took a deep, shuddering breath. She looked to the floor. "The reasons for your suspicions are just... Sir." Heather mumbled as mist glazed her eyes. "I have, indeed, been acting out of line." Before her, sitting easy, Viggo smiled gently. "Why so, my dear?" "I have come here... I've joined the Hunters with ulterior motives." She clutched her skirt, watched as her pale fingers turned ghostly white at the knuckles; her breath hitched. "I've come to kill my brother."

Messy sketches + Value practice

A rare time that Heather is the A plot <3

Drago Bludvist

Httyd fandom seems to be alive again, and i'm really happy to see this happening 🙏🏼

[howtodrawyourdragon]

How do you think Hiccup's war with Drago could've gone if Httyd 2 was done by the RttE crew? The crew who literally made both Dagur and Viggo obsess over Hiccup and then implied which levels they obsessed him over on.
