HTTYD 3 DISCUSSION PAGE
With the third movie out in most if not all countries, I thought I would make a page for everyone to discuss it (forgive me if one is already in existance) and cry about it.
Spoilers, obvioulsy (this is such an amazing movie you do NOT want it to be spoiled for you)
So, what did everyone think?
I loved The Hidden World so much! The main theme was great. The symbolism and subtle nods to the rest of the franchise were really cool (tv series, sod, etc.) . I went through like 11 tissues in the theater. I cried or was on the verge of crying for over half the movie. XD I'm totally going to watch it again (Next time, in 3D!) And Astrid and Hiccup were the best thing ever. Normally I'm not much of a romance person, but I really like their relationship. I give them 10 outa 10 totally awesome parenting skills because throwing your kids in the air thousands of feet above the ocean is most definatly a safe activity for children. XD The twins were AMAZING! Ruffnut was hilarious and Tuffnut's "advice" was so great :D Grimmel is so terrifying as a villain, even more so than Viggo. His incredibly long, pointy, pale face will haunt me forever lol.
More of my rambling on the way :)
please excuse my possibly incorrect spelling...
Absouletly loved the movie, the end scene had me crying like a baby in the cinema. Then the waterworks were restarted during the end credits, the song really didn't help lol. The concept of Grimmel was something I liked however I don't think it was shown how much of a threat he was during the movie, there wasn't much build up to him or weight behind the fact he killed all the night furies apart from toothless. Parts of the movie also felt a bit rushed, especially the ending when the dragons are leaving. It all happens a bit fast.
I think having a different opening scene, maybe one where it shows young Grimmel finding a nighfury and then just about to kill it or just showing him holding a weapon. Like the incident one he spoke about after he trapped Hiccup and the others with his Deathgrippers. This would provided a cool contrast to Hiccup when he found Toothless, and given more weight behind Grimmels "killing all night furies".
I am sad to see the series come to an end though, it was a major staple of my childhood.
Yeah, this movie was definitely the most emotional out of the three. I agree with your points about Grimmel. He would have been a much scarier villain if they allowed him to have more screen time. His death was kinda dull too. I think they should've had a slightly more dramatic death for him other than plummeting into the ocean. Your idea for a different opening scene would have been really cool to see.
It's the same for me, This franchise is basically my child/teenhood. I've been a Dragonite since the very beginning. All good things must come to an end I suppose.
I think a more dramatic death would have been a good thing overall. The whole scene could have lasted a bit longer imo, it was a bit short. The whole climax of the movie felt a bit short really, one minute they're fighting Grimmel at his house place and the next he's in the water, presumably dead. I also wanna know what happened to his Deathgrippers, they can't have died from just hitting a few rocks since dragons in httyd have been shown to me much more hardy than that.
Also, it only shows the dragons from Berk going to the hidden world. It never makes any reference as to what happnes to others that live in the archepeligo, let alone other dragons in the world. They all can't have gone into the hidden world?
It's sad to see the franchise end, I reckon they'll do a spinoff movie in a few years though. The ending with Hiccips and Toothles' kids was a perfect ending that someone could lead on from, with them grown up etc. I also wouldn't be suprised if they pump out another netflix show in time either.
low key mad light fury is membership only when there are at least 3 light furies in the movie
Yay! More places to discuss the movie! I'll just copy and paste my thoughts from another thread, (http://forum.schoolofdragons.com/content/grand-httyd-hidden-world-spoiler-thread) but I'll change a few things and add some more thoughts, such as my opinion on the soundtracks and such. Here it is!
And now onto the soundtracks! I plan to listen to them all and thoroughly discuss them, but I'll do that later, since it'll require me listening through the entire soundtrack and I currently don't have over 1 and 1/2 hours! XD But here's what I've currently got:
I really hope that "How To Train your Dragon" will continue at least the new series or continue the "Race To The Edge" series about the children of dragon riders (Hiccup, snotlout, fishleg, ruffnut and tuffnut). I hope the series is about Hiccup and his friends wanting to bring the dragon back to the ground. So they set sail and their child sneaks onto their parent's ship. Then when Hiccup and his friends arrived they just realized that their kids had sneaked into their ship and then Hiccup and his friends begged toothless the alpha of dragon to bring the dragon back to the ground and Toothless agreed. and Hiccup and his friends trained their kids to be the successor of The Dragon Riders. Then a few years later when the zyper was patrolling around the edge he met the son of viggo grimborn who brought some Night Fury and Light Fury and zyper took him to Berk to meet Hiccup. Then after being asked again and again it turns out that he is the only child of Viggo Grimborn who is assigned to bring Night Fury and Light Fury which Viggo stole from Grimmel to Hiccup for safekeeping. then the new dragon riders brought Night Fury and Light Fury to The Hidden World. And they are safe there and continue to breed.
Note: Snotlout is married to Minden and lives in new Berk
another note: this is just my personal opinion
another note: zyper fell in love with the son of Viggo Grimborn but Hiccup held him back for several months because it was still unreliable.
