A Loveletter To The How To Train Your Dragon-Trilogy

A Loveletter to the How to train your Dragon-Trilogy

I love this trilogy so much because it is a safe place for me, this world is a safe place, these characters are a safe place. I am eighteen years old and still doubting myself sometimes. Growing up is not easy and this trilogy shows us that perfectly. It thought us that letting go isn’t a weakness, it’s a strength. It thaught us to do things your own way, to discover yourself and your strengths. It thaught us that true friendship will never end. That true love can exist in our worlds, it doesn’t matter if it’s romantic love or love between friends. Love is Love. Since the first movie we witness how Hiccup finds his own way and comes into his own, to become a Chief, a friend, a soldier, a husband and a father. His whole story touches me so deeply because I see myself in him, this is also why I love the whole trilogy and the shows and short films equally. They tell his story. I believe there is a Hiccup in every one of us. This whole Franchise has just giving me a feeling of pure joy and it feels like Home for me. After seeing all these movies and shows after a so long (and seeing them a hundred times) it was like coming home, that a part of me will always feel joy when I think about httyd. I am dealing with Depression so for me it’s like a little saving grace when I see or hear something httyd releated. It became part of my life again and I am so grateful that it is. It’s for me at least one of the best stories in cinematic history that were ever told. I don’t care if there is now Sipder Verse, for me httyd will always have the status as a superior trilogy, that I love to revisit and think about. It isn’t just a trilogy of movies or a simple TV-Show to a movie, it’s a journey about growing up. I have a lot love for this trilogy because I basically grew up with it alongside the Trilogies Madagascar, Shrek and Kung Fu Panda. I have so much love for this franchise in general, I just really enjoy it for what it is: a magnificent story about a boy and his dragon, who became best friends and will forever friends even if millions of miles parted them. Hiccup and Toothless will always love each other even if they are separated for their own safety, they grow together and they will always remember one another and the beautiful memories they share. There will always be something that connects them. IT’S YOU AND ME, BUD. ALWAYS. This why I love all of The movies and shows (tolerate T9R now to some degree) and it’s sometimes hard for me to see, when people hate on this movies and shows. Especially on the hidden world. I know not everyone likes it but they have to understand it’s hard to see for someone who loves it. I heard from some people that the hate in the fandom kinda destroyed their existence with httyd. I personally don’t want that because httyd appeals to some many and means to so many others so much. It kinda makes me sad to see, because httyd gives me one of the best feelings of enjoyment and inspiration that I never felt before. I know I can’t change some minds, but I just want to say all this, because everyone deserves understanding and respect. I know I posted in the past some hatred stuff against T9R and I regret everything of it, because I can now understand and feel with these people.

Last but not least I hope this franchise will again bring some more people together and the same happiness I feel with it. In some kind of way we share all the same love. We love the httyd franchise. ❤️‍🔥

Never let the dragon flames burn out in your heart, it will always be there in good and bad times. We have all THE HEART OF A CHIEF, AND THE SOUL OF A DRAGON.

As same as we got THAT from a lanky Viking Man with a twig of a neck and fluffy hair, who got a bit buffed with 31 or maybe it’s just his armor 🤔

The Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy, yes it’s a Trilogy like KFP and Shrek, at least for me.

Such an underrated Trilogy, with my favorite being at worlds end because of the bittersweet ending. Best pirate movies ever, I think we can all agree on that. Captain Jack Sparrow will forever be iconic and Pirates of the Caribbean doesn’t work without him, he is the heart of this franchise. So Disney don’t make a Reboot of it!

The Actors are all phenomenal, the setting is fantastic. You can really feel the pirates of the Caribbean flair. Even if I am not a huge fan of the movie 4 and 5 I really like the scene with the sirens in stranger tides. Also in this movie I cared more about the relationship between the priest and the mermaid Syrena than the actual heist. But the love story between Elizabeth and Will will always be my favorite, but they have to ruin their bittersweet ending in 5.

Don’t let me even start on the soundtrack because Hans Zimmer really nailed this score. He is a Genius. The Score…I can’t even describe how good this score is. The Main Theme is so good and One day being the best piece of the entire series. One day is so powerful and so beautiful. Definitely my favorite.

What do you think about this?

I personally think that Sarah J. Maas if you like her or not, is a stronger author in terms of pacing, character development, interesting characters and the chemistry between her protagonists and their friends. Nesta for an example is her most complex character in the entire ACOTAR-Series. Everything Yarros couldn’t do for me.

Yarros strength lies more in epic battles, but she really needs to structure them better. But some scenes, especially in the first book are to some degree good structured, that you can at least imagine what’s going on.

One thing both books have in common is the black haired male protagonist, which I will say I like Rhysand more, he feels more like a person with a tragic past, who has fought for his city and people. He and Feyre have incredible chemistry since the first scene they met. Violet and Xaden have none of that in my opinion. Xaden feels more like a Wish-Form of Rhys and is more one dimensional. Yeah he has a tragic past and a city and revolution he could fought for, but he is, especially in the second book overfocused on Violet. Which was by the way where whiny and annoying and also couldn’t think of anything else other than Xaden. It’s a shame that Hiccup from httyd gets compared to her, he is complex, has an amazing development and has a motive for everything he does. The only thing were I really cared about Violet, was with her friends and family. But always gets sidelined very fast. God, I shipped her more with Dain than her actual love interest. 😂 I have to confess the first book of fourth wing is not that bad, it’s mid but I wish the story were more about Violet and her relationship with Tairn because he had lost his Rider because of her brothers death. There are good Ideas in Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, what baffles me about both books is that we didn’t expand on them, like the Idea of what your sign says about you or the political stuff and the threat of Melgren and his followers. But I have to give Fourth Wing and Iron Flame that: the background story with the government and military is very interesting, I hope it will see more of it in the upcoming books. I prefer this over the Drama with Xaden and Violet any day.
