This is the three step process for establishing a resolution to a mission or purpose. Other questions, such as 'Will Hiccup get a girlfriend/get married?' 'Can Hiccup make his father proud/be a competent Chief on his own power without a dragon to aid him?' 'Will Toothless find a mate?', while a key part of the journey, are purely secondary to this most fundamental question that is asked for the first time in the cove and underlies each of the three films.Įstablish something, test it, and then reject or reaffirm it. Is it possible to have true peace and friendship between these two groups of different types of life, of people I would say? Is it worth inviting someone very different from oneself into ones life and world to try to live in peace, even if the transition is rocky and uncertain for both sides involved? It all began that moment in the cove when Hiccup stopped trying to control the situation, extended his hand to Toothless, and let the dragon choose whether to trust and take a risk. The question that overarches the entire movie series is that of the relationship between humans and dragons. Long version: Where to begin? What is the question that the final film and the entire series of three films has been asking? For these reasons, this film is a narrative disaster and is completely unbecoming of the franchise. In other words, we can give up on our dreams for a better world and maybe the world will change for the better. Short version: HTTYD: The Hidden World has numerous plot holes, uses ex-machina plot devices, introduced an incompetent villain who succeeds through chance, completely changed the characterization of key people compared to the prior films, ignored existing foreshadowing, misunderstands the concepts of maturity, leadership, and friendship, applauds toxic relationships, proposes race-segregation and isolation as the means to peace between different groups, turned Hiccup into the instrument of Grimmel's lasting victory, and proposes that social change can happen without anyone actively working for it. HTTYD: THE HIDDEN WORLD - SPOILERS/PERSONAL THOUGHTS BELOW HTTYD - 'Umbreytingu' - Elfpen - Toothless gets turned into a human.Inheritance/LOTR - 'The Magic Between Two Worlds' - Blue Dragon's Rider - Eragon and Saphira are cast into Middle Earth at different times in the Hobbit and LOTR and fight against evil while working toward reunion.HTTYD - 'Making History' - Arcawolf - Film I AU where Toothless never lost a tailfin.HTTYD - 'Innocent Hopes, Twisted Realities' and 'When Nothing Remains' - VigoGrimborne - Slightly supernatural, philosophical, adventure, horror, family, comfort genre amalgamation.HTTYD - 'I Hear Him Scream' (IHHS) and 'Echoed Songs' - Rift-Raft - Magic-heavy dragon-Hiccup story (for IHHS) with significant interrelated backstory.HTTYD - 'Broken' - Athenaeum - A beautifully written and very lengthy post first movie non-magic intelligent dragons epic.The top stories that I would especially recommend are the following along with the universe, story title, author, and a brief story description. 10Blue10 has a series of HTTYD books in the Heartbound AU that are definitely worth your time. Cke1st also has many good HTTYD publications. He has a HTTYD epic, the 'Living' series, in the works as well as several other compelling and somewhat lengthy stories/worlds running simultaneously. Recommendations: Here are those writers/stories I would most recommend (beyond just my favorites list): I got permission to use their original image and modified it to fit my needs. Currently posting every other Wednesday.Īcknowledgments: For my cover art for my profile and Brothers Of Night I must give credit for the original to Madpatti on Deviant Art (check out their work there if you like HTTYD fan art). Children Of Dawn - Sequel to Brothers Of Night. Posting weekly on Saturday mornings (and occasionally also on Wednesday mornings). Writing is complete except for ongoing editing and beta review of future chapters. Ring Of Fire - LOTR and HTTYD crossover. a story that explores the interactions between humans and fantastical creatures. This is what Tolkien referred to as the 'Fairy Story', i.e. More broadly I am intrigued by stories or myths that involve any non-human, sentient beings. I have always been fascinated by dragons. Me: I am a thirty year old male with a boring office job involving numbers and risk, but that is unimportant. Author has written 7 stories for How to Train Your Dragon, and Lord of the Rings.
