So I decided to rewatch RTTE because I felt like indulging in some childhood nostalgia. A few things to note:
- Snotlout and Fishlegs are dating. Good for them.
- The twins are the best characters. Still don't know wtf a boar pit is.
- I know those are supposed to be dragon scales on Ryker's shoulder and arm pads but they look like turtle shells I'm sorry--
- Actually good disability rep?? Hello??
- Hiccup how tf are you still alive?
- "Toothle plama bla" is perhaps the funniest thing in any piece of media ever.
- On the subject of Gruffnut: There's another one???
- How does Tuffnut know so many languages? Did these languages exist in this time period? If so who taught him? Is Tuffnut Odin in disguise? Would that make Ruffnut Loki?
- Hiccup is AuDHD. No I will not be taking comments at this time.
- Where tf did Hiccup get his dragon blade in midnight scrum? Why did he not use it to free himself or fend off his attackers? Also, on the subject of midnight scrum, how is this boy's neck not broken??
- I stan one (1) Heather the Unhinged. Go off queen. Feral bastard child.
- Ruffnut is actually super smart?? And cool?? What??
- I did not watch the series before this one so Dagur's entrance confused me so much at first. Who is this man and why does his beard look like that?? Please shave.
- Gonna punch Snotlout's dad. Gonna kick his fucking ass.
- Why is Viggo so aggressively British? And why is his brother Scottish? Come to think of it, there is no consistency in any of the accents.
- Sir, that is not a dragon, that is a Pokémon (you know exactly which dragon I'm talking about don't pretend you don't know)
You know what we really needed after RTTE ended? A mini series from Johann’s perspective because wtf was he doing half the time. Like in rob when he was just floating on some driftwood until Hiccup found him. Was he just chillen there “passed out” for hours just waiting? Like, this is really important information I need to know.
One of the best plot twists ever but he so goofy for that.
i could rant forever on how much i hate him and how much i dislike him as a villain and that viggo was, and always will be, the greatest HTTYD villain of all time.
People talk about how much darker RttE would've been with a higher rating (specifically mentioning GoT) and then they're talking about our heroes and what they would've faced.
But no one mentions how both Savage as well as Ryker probably would've died in Midnight Scrum if the rating was higher. Especially Ryker, who provoked Toothless' rage by hurting Hiccup in front of him. That dragon did not want that man to breathe a second longer.
