There was a time some months ago where I had fairy Rulie posts all over my dashboard being a sinner because of his extreme greed (it disgusts me so much). So yeah, look at this greedy ass bug, bro won’t give a molecule of sugar to anyone.

As a long time httyd fan who has been heavily involved in the fandom since the first movie and who has spent years working in the animation industry, I’d like to share my thoughts on the new httyd movie. Keep in mind, this is just my personal opinion and it's completely fine if you disagree with me. I just want to say a little something about all this that really bothers me.

The core reason that Dreamworks and Universal made this film is that it’s a quick and easy cash grab for them. Thats it. They don’t care about telling a good story or making a “better” version of the original movie for fans or even having an accurate portrayal of the characters/story. It’s purely about money. They know that fans of the original film will go see this movie, whether it’s good or bad. And those guaranteed ticket sales are all that matter to the studios. And with Universal, it has the added bonus of being a cheap promotional and merchandising opportunity for the new HTTYD land in Orlando that opens around the same time that the film is premiering in theaters.

And to help the studios make even more money out of this, they are using non-unionized VFX companies around the world to make this film, so that they can get cheaper labor and push the artists to do more that would be against American union standards. The same thing has probably happened with the costuming and fabrication for the filming, hence why the costumes look un-weathered and the sets look cheap. They don’t want to pay for the extra time and effort that it would take to make the practical bits of the production look good.

On top of all this, Dreamworks has already announced that they’re shutting down all their in-house animation projects in favor of using AI and outsourcing projects to cheaper international non-union studios.

With all this in mind, I just can’t support this film and I will not be seeing it in theaters. And I hope that others will do the same.

The only way to stop all these horrible “live action” remakes (which are actually just realistically animated remakes) is to not buy tickets to see them. Money is all that matters to these studios, and if they don’t make any money off of it, then they will stop and try something different. Maybe they'll even go back to focusing on original stories!

That’s the power that we hold as audiences. Our wallets help drive the decisions that the executives make. So support unique storytelling and gorgeous cinematography in movies. Support indie films. Support animators as they're fighting for fair pay and better contracts. But don't support a mediocre shot-for-shot remake riding on the coattails of an already successful film.

And I just want to wrap all this up by saying I have absolutely no hate towards anyone that has worked on the new film. Toothless looks incredible and I know the artists and creatives involved in this project did the best they could with what they were given.

But I also know that those same artists have so many more brilliant ideas that they would’ve loved to be given the creative freedom to do. I just wish hollywood would be willing to take a chance and let them do it.

RGB siblings in realm of Monsters

Prev |

*Kai absolutely destroying a giant beast 100x the size of him*

*Nya and Lloyd actually watching in horror as they watch their brother who is tiny compared to the monster attack like he knows what hes doing*

Lemme get the hcs out, During his time in the Land of Monsters he didn't sleep like at all. So he started getting auditory and visual hallucinations, and if he were ever to go back to the land of Monsters (and in this scenario he did) he wouldn't be able to sleep or really properly keep himself together because he'd be too stressed about Lloyd or Nya experiencing the horrors like him. Or worse, either of them finding out how much being in the Land of Monsters has changed him. Both mentally and physically,

*bug kai bug kai bug kai bugkaibugkaibugkaibugkai*

I fully hc that his bug traits would manifest out of stress or bottling up for too long. So being thrust back into the place that caused you to go through mental anxiety physical agony, along with you barely surviving your last fight and both your siblings are here with you in the danger zone inexperienced with the horrors that are in the Land of Monsters.

Internally Kai would probably be like

Oh shit, oh fuck, keep it together, you've been going this long, kill this thing, keep family safe. Can't die here, or I'll never see them again. They're right here with me of course I'll see them again. Unless they die here then your to blame and you'll never see them again. Can't slip too far gotta keep it maintained fuck my back hurts, and my arms, the whole centipede hybrid shit is not gonna hide well if I keep this up. Can't let the others worry about me, that's what I'm supposed to do.

So Kai immediately is pushing himself three times as hard to keep triple the amount or people alive rather than just one.

Lloyd and Nya notice instantly how Kai is mentally deteriorating from being here, they watch him close himself off and be over protective. Both of them are super concerned but as soon as they try to confront him about it he changes the subject or they get interrupted.

They enter a cave system for the night, rest they need it if they want to survive, Kai he sits down lighting the fire and starts keeping watch. Lloyd watches as he droops in and out of sleep sitting there and offers to take the watch for the hundredth time. Kai about to shake his head get interrupted by Nya who backs up Lloyd saying Kai Needs to rest. A bit of back and forth goes ahead before Kai finally caves. Laying down on a cloak he had set up for Lloyd.

Kai is out pretty quickly the exhaustion of multiple days kicking in. It's during the middle of the night when he wakes up in excruciating pain, Bugkaibugkaibugkaibugkai unfortunately he wasn't able avoid Lloyd noticing. From Lloyds perspective he saw his brother sleeping badly rolling around talking to himself. Then watched him sit up super suddenly and strangle off a scream.

Understandably Lloyd would be concerned. Kai the stubborn dumbass he is would get up and head deeper into the cave where they have no light. He cant let his family see what hes become. He gains his bug traits, mandibles multiple sets of legs from his back rest around his torso.

Kinda just setting him up for failure when he forgets that Lloyd can see in the dark. Lloyd understandably will probably let out some noise of shock cause like *his brother is a fuckin bug for some reason???? And didn't think to mention it before now??????* then Kai all angsty would be like

"you weren't supposed to see me like this.... Im a monster."

And Lloyd would be like

"Kai your not a monster, you may look different but you're still you."

"I'm not the same kai, I've been keeping up the facades for almost a year now. I changed here and I hate it."

"Kai please look at me, You are my brother and I know that because you've always been there even now you've been trying so hard to Keep Nya and I safe. No matter if you were human or not, You're still Kai to me."

Then they hug it kai finally gets the comfort he deserves and Lloyd gets to help his brother for once. Then in the morning they're obviously gonna have to explain to Nya why the hell her brother looks like he is cosplaying a centipede cross garmadon cause of the extra arms/legs.

She also concerned hugs her brother, but later she'll smack him over the head for constantly hiding he's in pain/suffering.

Cut scene 1

Kai: I'm not human anymore, I'm a monster.

Lloyd with his glow stick hands and eyes: bitch what does that make me???

Cut scene 2

Kai: I'm a monster how could anyone love me.

*Lloyd recalling the entire team* "dude no one cares if ur human, Zane is a robot, turned into water, Jay turned into a snake, Cole was a ghost, I'm fucking oni dragon and human. It was bound to happen at some point."

Ksi "Yeah ur right"

[movedtonewblogcheckpinnedpost]

Okay, so at first I thought Jaime didn't really care about fatherhood at all, but at a second thought I think he might? Sure, he's not dad of the year, and it's not like he craves having children with all his soul and is devastated that Joffrey died, but I believe maybe there's some part of him that wishes things had been different and he could've built his own family? I dunno. I'm not sure. He always says things as "I should('ve) do(ne) this or that", so it's never clear if he is talking about his own feelings or if he is guilty for not having such feelings... It could go both ways, I guess. 🤔
