The hopeful, childish ball of sunshine that’s labeled as dumb, foolish, and weak but who learns that there’s bravery in being gentle and eventually saves the day by being kind and demonstrating forgiveness, therefore subverting the macho leading man stereotype.
Okay, but now I need everyone who was salty about THW's ending to watch The Nine Realms, it is honestly healing. Because not only is TNR implying that Hiccup and his family came back to this world, but they're also saying that:
They spent a lot of time here, considering that Hiccup has described one of the other realmS further away from where their entrance was.
They had a home amongst dragons.
They were accepted by dragons.
And the other Riders were potentially there as well, considering the fact that Hiccup described all his friends in the same book that described the other realm.
And then there's also this:
Dragon Club finds Hiccup's prosthetic leg. And both as a disabled man and with how accident prone this man is, he would not just leave a disability aid behind. Not even a spare! Them finding that leg is potentially implying that Hiccup kept coming back, probably stayed at some point, and lived out the rest of his days with his Bud.
Lumity is the mundane wholesome power couple while Raeda is the most flowery and Disneyesque romance in the show (which I love). But huntlow is definitely the kind of couple I imagine would prefer a more heart-pounding dating experience.
Thuggory: Wait... Hiccup and the Hooligans made friends with the unruly Bog-Burglars AND fought and won against the Romans? Why do THEY get all the fun?! Shouldn't I just join the Hooligans, at this point? Nothing FUN happens on this island (Meathead Island)!! 😢

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the lll & Fishlegs Ingerman:
I cannot understand how they took something that was bound to be adorable and made it the most unsettling, ugly baby animal to grace animation.
I KNOOOOWWW RIGHT the baby Furies should have been so cute but instead we got THIS. Why are their faces so flat and square and weirdly humanlike??? Why are their teeth so large and round? Just why 😭😭😭
AND IT'S LIKE THEY HAD A CHANCE TO FIX THINGS SOMEWHAT WITH THE NINE REALMS BUT NO. We're getting this and just what the hell it looks so ugly but in a different way than the original Night Lights....DreamWorks why..........😔
Even the "official" baby Night Fury design (the design used for baby Toothless in Titan Uprising) looks pretty strange because it has that weird flat face thing going on among other things because of course they had to base it on the Night Lights....
Surprisingly the baby Light Fury design (also from Titan Uprising) isn't completely terrible though lol. The face just doesn't look as flat or strangely humanlike and that goes a long way in making it look better imo. (The feet are ridiculously tiny but that's also an issue with the adult design)
