He has so many scars :((

[foolish-rat]

Just watched the httyd live action and the more I look at spitelout the more i unfortunately think he’s wife material. Someone needs to humble him and it’s gonna be me

Turn him into a housewife

Just realized that the reason the dragons don’t attack in the rain in the first movie is not because they don’t feel like going out in the rain, but because they can’t use their fire when wet.

[foolish-rat]

One of my favorite details in the live action is Snotlout’s first line vs his last. Both times he says “Shouldn’t you be in bed?” But the first one is to be an asshole and the second one is out of concern for his friends well being.

Commentary on ROB Ep 1

How To Start a Dragon Academy

I really like this episode because I think it does a good job of explaining the purpose of the series. Riders of Berk is all about Berks struggle to accept dragons after their entire world and way of life has essentially been flipped on its head. This episode also does a really good job of introducing all the characters. The dragon riders get their little best trick competition which serves as their character introductions as well as an introduction to their relationships with their dragons. We also get introduced to new characters!

Astrid: Sweet baby Thor in a thunderstorm, GO!

Quite the sentence you just said there, Astrid.

Snotlout: Oh, don't worry, we'll go. And when we go, Hookfang and I are gonna light the sky on--

(Snotlout's Monstrous Nightmare, Hookfang, plummets off the sea stack, scaring an unprepared Snotlout.)

Snotlout: -FIRE!!!!! Oh, no!

(Hookfang pulls off many stunts, scaring his already terrified Rider into almost wetting himself. Hookfang circles back around and lands back on the sea stack with a thud.)

Snotlout: I'm alive...? I'm alive!

(The other Riders stare at him, blankly.)

Snotlout: Of course I am.

I found this transcript online and it goes crazy hard. They did not need to do my boy like that 😭

Hookfang, why do you look so angry

I love their fist bump 🥹💕

Snotlout: Yeah, but can you do it without the dragon?

Literally what is he even going on about 💀

The part with Hiccup was my little brothers favorite part of the episode. He thought it was the coolest thing ever. Also, that part uses the exact same audio as the intro which I thought was interesting. It makes me wonder whether that music was made for that scene and was later used for the intro or if the intro was made first and they decided to use it for the scene later on.

Look at how excited they are to see Hiccup do a cool trick. They are such nerds.

Oh my gosh Bucket and Mulch, I forgot how much I missed them.

The music that plays when we see Mildew for the first time actually goes so hard, specifically the part with the axes.

Mildew: Dragons. I should've known.

(He holds up a half-eaten Cabbage from his field.)

Mildew: Helps himself to my roof and my cabbage.

He’s literally just the cabbage merchant from ATLA

Mildew: It's the dragons again. Those demons are not fit to live among civilized men.

Gobber: Neither are you, Mildew. Why do you think we built your house so far outside of town?

Holy shit, Gobber, you absolutely destroyed him

Viking: Mildew's right!

These Vikings must be the easiest people ever to manipulate. If you say something loudly with a rallying cry, they will immediately agree and get behind you.

Stoick: We can't just let dragons run wild like they own the place. Hey, we could put up signs!

Gobber: Signs? For dragons?

Stoick: No! For the people.

Gobber: Signs? For Vikings?

Gobber I love you so so much.

Hiccup: Okay, gang, there's gonna be some changes around here.

Literally who is he talking to, no one is even there 😭

Ugh I love them so much. They way all of them are sitting/standing really reflects their personality and I love it.

Stoick: Uh-huh. Well, this better be real. Because Mildew's stirred up the whole island. And if you don't get those dragons under control, they'll be calling for their heads.

Are you not gonna like, put a stop to that, you’re literally the chief 😭

Dragon ptsd

Snotlout: When I want this big boy to do something I just get right in his face and-- DROP THAT RIGHT NOW! YOU HEAR ME?

Poor Hookfang. Look at him, he’s adorable. Don’t yell at him :(

Purple nadder 💕

Fishlegs: Every night before I went to sleep, Meatlug would lick my feet. Who's gonna do that now?!

Ruffnut: I volunteer Tuffnut!

Tuffnut: Whatever. What time should I be there?

This is actually my favorite scene in the entire series I think.

Mildew: (Mock regret) Oh, Toothless, I'm gonna miss you so much... You know what your mistake was? Thinking dragons could be trained. But a dragon's gonna do what a dragon's gonna do. It's their nature. And nature always wins.

I actually hate Mildew so so much it’s crazy. He’s literally my opp. I better not catch him lackin in the streets.

Snotlout: Ugh. Feels like big, sharp teeth are tearing at this thing in my chest.

Astrid: That's what it feels like when your heart is breaking.

Snotlout: I don't have a heart! I'm not a girl!

I don’t even know what to say about this scene. I really think he just needs to be put down.

Hiccup: Don't close it!

I’m really glad he got there in time, it’s not like they could open the gate back up

Fishlegs: Oh, no! What's Stoick gonna do to us?

Ruffnut: I'm too pretty for jail!

Tuffnut: Ha, where'd you hear that?

Oh my god, Tuff 💀

It is actually so uncanny that Snotlout keeps his gaze locked on Gobber and Stoick until Hiccup walks forward to talk to them. His eyes widen and he looks horrified that Hiccup is speaking up, ready to take the blame. That was just a small detail that made me very sad.

Just look at all of their reactions to getting in trouble

Mildew: Oh this is going to be great, Fungus. It's about to get ugly.

Literally shut up, if anything’s ugly it’s you.

Why did they lock up the dragons just to tell them that they weren’t gonna lock the dragons up 💀

AAW HIS LITTLE DRAWING 🥺

Hiccup (v.o.): And as long as it takes me, I am going to learn everything there is to know about them. Wouldn't you?

Imma be so fr, probably not 💀

Okay that’s it 💕

[foolish-rat]

I just wanna say that yall sleeping on LA Fishlegs

[foolish-rat]

I haven’t seen the HTTYD remake yet but it’s hilarious to me how John Powell wasn’t allowed to use the same track names so he just decided to be a troll.

[foolish-rat]

It’s pouring rn during the protest but we ballin

[foolish-rat]

Feeling quirky, might overthrow a tyrant today

[foolish-rat]

I think I’m gonna wait a bit to write my thoughts on the movie so that other people can watch and enjoy it and also so that I can watch it again and form more opinions. In the meantime, I’ve been working on commentary for some of the episodes of Riders of Berk

[foolish-rat]

Why he standing like that. Fool, get under the umbrella you’re not even using it properly 😭

Obsessed with live action Snotlout's belt. Need to draw animated snot in live action Snot's clothes.

The skull 😩 deadass need that belt for myself.

[foolish-rat]

It was so so good you guys. I need a minute to collect my thoughts

[foolish-rat]

Guys I’m gonna go see the live action today, I am very excited

[foolish-rat]

There wasn’t a good way to make this..
