Casting two 30 year olds who look nothing alike to play the Thorston twins was certainly a choice...

When people who have only watched the live-action try to "correct" you on HTTYD lore

[grantyort]

shiro tried his best to give the boys a good life, similar to what yuri envisioned for them 🥹

[grantyort]

It's 2025 and Hollywood is still trying to gaslight us into believing that this is what a village outcast looks like.

[grantyort]

baby rin was so innocent back then in the filler episode, now he looks more similar to his father

[grantyort]

I'm catching up on the anime and damn...

Was Yukio this unhinged in the manga?

[grantyort]

Sorry to be a hater but nothing about liveaction!Hiccup is giving "dorky outcast"

And did we really need a shot-for-shot remake of the original movie? Toothless looks like they just installed the 4K texture pack and "Hiccup" is built like a quarterback with a jawline that could grate cheese. He literally looks like the version of Hiccup that Stoick originally wanted as a son. The voice is on-point though.

[grantyort]

If Yukio had actually made that deal with Hachiro, then he'd have to wear v-necks into battle for the rest of the series

Cackling at the fact that this season is officially called the: "Yuki(n)o Hate" Arc

[grantyort]

It happened spontaneously, but I love AU. So… Avatar Hiccup. Hiccup considered himself an ordinary person before meeting Toothless. (Dragons can be equated to spirits, i mean relationships between people and them). Then he discovered his talent as an airbender and Toothless became his teacher. Later, other talents were discovered, which made it clear that Hiccup was an avatar.

Astrid became his waterbender teacher. Snotlout was an adept of firebender, but he sincerely did not understand how to teach, because he himself used magic on a subconscious level. Fishlegs is an earthbender, but he did not go beyond the amateur level and could not become a teacher. The twins are always on their own wave. Ruffnut is a master in airbending and can perform techniques with clouds of gas, while Tuffnut is not a master, but is ready to set fire to the gas with his sparks at any moment. The twins always come in a set.

Brothers Grimborn! Lord of Fire Viggo. The aesthetics of blue flame and lightning were created for him. So I couldn't resist. The hottest flame and deadly techniques of lightningbending made him the most terrible opponent for the young avatar, but in the future, he will become the teacher of fire magic for Hiccup. I endowed Riker with explosion magic, as for me, it suits him perfectly. An explosive mixture of rage and bloodlust.

Berserkers! Remembering Viggo's words about how the berserkers in ancient times lured the Skrills with metal, I thought about a tribe practicing metalbending. Dagur discovered his talent for earth magic much later, including metal. I like to think that Dagur could be a threat to the avatar even as an ordinary person, relying on his ingenuity and physical strength. Heather is a master of earth and metal magic, she could well become Hiccup's teacher in this matter.

Happy to finally get to witness Yukio's emo era on-screen

[grantyort]

I still stand by the assertion that Elliot Grihault would have been the perfect liveaction Hiccup

[grantyort]

The poster for the new AoEx arc had me thinking that Studio Voln took notes and fixed Rin's design

and then I saw him in the teaser trailer...

[grantyort]

So the Team Black kids are demoted to being glorified extras taking turns having 1 line per episode so that we can have more scenes of *checks notes* Alicent boning Cristin Cole?

[grantyort]

That scene in episode one when Jace returns to Dragonstone after learning of Luke's death...
