#which does stink a bit bc i wanted to learn Eret lore?? damn

[dearies-diary]

why the fuck are there 8 seasons of television between How To Train Your Dragon 1 and 2 and then there are ZERO EPISODES OF TELEVISION BETWEEN 2 AND 3???

dont get me wrong, love the 8 seasons we have, xoxo, i kiss its forehead every morn

i am just saying: i ALSO want episodes between HTTYD 2 and 3!! give me more show! it can be a continuation (aka the 9th season, technically?) or a new thing (they did that three times with HTTYD's tv show between movie 1 and 2. if you didnt know, those 8 aforementioned seasons make up Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, and Race to the Edge. so. id still think of it as a 9th season, ngl, buT YOU CAN PICK A FOURTH TITLE-NAME, SURE)

and like. not the "still the same universe, but unrelated to Hiccup or even his kids" stuff, i havent watched The Nine Realms (2021) or Rescue Riders (2019) or even Rescue Riders: Heroes of the Skies (2021), i have no words about them as i have no experiences with them

im just bewildered that we have HTTYD 2, which came out in 2014. and HTTYD 3 came out in 2019. and no show of any kind came out in-between?? none?

like, initially, i thought we got Nine Realms, Rescue Riders INSTEAD of content about Hiccup and the gang between HTTYD 2 and 3. but nope, you saw the years. the "unrelated to Hiccup and friends"-stuff was all post-2019, aka post-movie-3

instead? there's a couple comics?? what? and they cancelled the comics, im hearing? so there's only like 2 issues of said comics

im just flabbergasted. im reading what they had airing between 2014 - 2019 instead and just... frankly, i dont entirely see why a HTTYD tv show was not in the cards back then?? they worked with a bunch of production companies and were often in co-production for costs, so i just?? am baffled???
