Hiccup was a runt, the most awkward, frailest guy around. He was created with the intent of being someone who's different from everyone else; both in his design and story. Someone who's weak around people who value strenght, someone who befriends dragons while others want to kill them. Hiccup makes up for his physical weakness with compassion and trying to bring peace to both sides.

Which is why in his every iteration after the first movie (+ ROB); Hiccup is a 6'1, modern beauty standart who can easily beat everyone in combat no matter how more build or/and experienced they are, unless the writers decide they need to higher the stakes, or they have other characters fight the enemy for him.

#the bit about him beating anyone easily is mostly reffering to the third movie #It's also why i heavily dislike astrid in thw. although for slightly different reasons #thw astrid is a shallow girlboss trope of a pretty girl who stomps everyone around her but has to follow conventional beauty standart -#- of not having any muscles. because 'women who are muscular can't be feminine and pretty'#the other bit is about trader johann. him and viggo are like the only ones who were ever allowed to actually get a hit on hiccup #the last is refering to drago #no you don't understand how pissed i was at seeing hiccup in thw just ragdolling everyone #not to mention the same guy who's advocating for peace for both sides just set a whole ship of soldiers on fire??#they could've used the kratos psychology “it's moral to kill something if it tries to kill you first” there #but no every human except berkians is evil and killing is cool when the protagonists do it #hiccup #hiccup haddock #httyd #httyd 2 #httyd 3 #rtte #httyd criticism #how to train your dragon #how to train your dragon: the hidden world #hiccup you'll always be the short awkward little thing who looks like the wind will blow him away to me <3 #they took all character design swag from the protagonists and gave it to the villains
