I think that instead of making spin offs, Dreamworks should fully animate deleted scenes and sell a collection of them. Like the scene “An Axe to Grind” in HTTYD, I mean, who doesn’t love a whole pre-HTTYD Hiccstrid, am I right? And what about that cute cuddle bit at Itchy Armpit we missed? And those six months between the end of RttE Season four and the second episode of Season five? They could do a collection of one shots almost, just cute canon fluff. What if we got to see Toothless’ eggs hatch? Maybe a sweet short about Toothless and Hiccup ruling their world’s without the other, their struggles, and how they overcome them? A sweet Uncle Gobber taking care of Hiccstrid’s babies? Some Rufflegs content? How about Heather and Dagur? Were they notified when Berk moved? It would be harder to keep in touch with no Terrible terrors, but surely they would visit often? Maybe some scenes we missed at Hiccstrid’s wedding? And everyone loves Babycup/Stoick bonding time. Maybe even some young Astrid or the rest of the gang? Fans would most certainly buy that content I am sure, and it would have been a better option than insulting the entire fandom with The Nine Realms (the show itself certainly isn’t the worse in history, but after it’s predecessors, it’s a total letdown). Hello, Dreamworks, if you ever go on Tumblr to read fan opinions, maybe you could consider it?
Were there any bits I could have missed? What between the scenes content would you loved to have seen?
httyd deleted scenes i would give my left leg for them to have been in the movie
H: “Is my head really oversized?”
A: “Your hair is.”
H: “Ha, ha.”
come on, a hug from BEHIND?? you people are evil
https://youtu.be/vcoysRQawIo there’s another one at 12:42 in this vid (couldn’t find an gif online) and I SERIOUSLY would have killed people to see that fully animated. little Hiccstrid cuddle after Stoick’s funeral.
https://youtu.be/FQErOCAQzvk the scene I mentioned in my last post, I can survive without this one but it still would’ve been nice. basically girl talk between Astrid and Valka.
obviously, how can we forget about “An Axe to Grind” where Hiccup was staring at that ASStrid *cough**cough* https://youtu.be/zdxlj2l0fws
and just overall a TON of little bits in httyd 2 (mostly for Astrid, I felt like she didn’t get a lot of screen time or important bits in that one)
For context Spitelout was on a mission with a large group, didn’t fallow hiccups orders and got Gobber severely hurt. Hiccup who has spent weeks setting up this mission overtired and is now freaking out about Gobber. breaks Spitelout’s nose along with a long winded ‘never do that again or I will make you wish for death.’ In front of everyone pretty much.
Hiccup stands from the bedside looking his father in the eyes, “is that an order, cheff?”voice almost painfully calm.
“Well no. Son-“ hiccup is not in the mood for the lecture in his dad’s voice.
“Get out. I know ‘he’s high in the village you can’t do things like this’” mimicking his dad “but,” looking to Gobber “I don’t care, he was pretty much all I had for so long, too long. Not you, you could barely look at me then, Gobber was there treating me like his own when all you could do was look at me and see a ghost. Spitelout almost got him killed and I’m not sorry, and I don’t want to hear anything more about it until Gobber gets up.”
“Hiccup-“ That hurt, it was true, things are better now then they were; the resentment remained. Stoic was getting better, was trying but it didn’t change the past. Didn’t erase years of hurt and abandonment.
“I can’t do this right now. Yell at me tomorrow, I just want to stay here.”
Probably shit, but, getting it out so maybe I can do literally anything but think about it.
This deleted scene, mixed with a scene from the movie that I edited in, really could have saved the Light Fury's character from all the hate she endures. Why did they rob us of this?
Hope you enjoy this! It was really fun to edit together, albeit one of my more simple edits.
When you've lived my year 2023, the line "yesterday when we flew together, um... it's like I got back something I didn't know I'd lost. And that's the part I'll choose to remember" from Httyd2 just hits different.
