at the end of the day, it exposed the beautiful story to a wider audience allergic to animation I GUESS

Ive been seeing a lot of posts about how the "live action" httyd movie is actually really good because it's basically a one-for-one shot of the original minus some key scenes and "who cares if its a cash grab cuz I enjoyed it" and like. Correct me if im wrong but shouldn't we not support blatant cash grab remakes who prey on your feelings of nostalgia and make a lazy attempt to take your money? Didn't we condemn a lot of Disney remakes for being soulless rehashes of the original?

How to train your dragon is a beautiful movie and it deserves better than a pointless remake to take your money. You deserve better. Put yout dollar where your mouth is.

I have so many complaints about the HTTYD live action but my biggest one is why the hell is it sunny. In literally every shot of the trailer i've seen there's been this golden cast over everything (provided the scene is daytime obvs) and it's like... this is berk????

It rains 9 months of the year and hails the other three why is the lighting so cheery. Like because of where I'm writing this I can't do pictures rn but I dare you to compare the image of the arena from the 2010 and the 2025 movie and the difference is shocking.

sunny and lacking any colour except the ugly forced pink during forbidden friendship

I haven’t seen the HTTYD remake yet but it’s hilarious to me how John Powell wasn’t allowed to use the same track names so he just decided to be a troll.

Artblock + Toothless trying to help

[hiccstrid]

Live action vrs Original.

They went with Toothless drew a game of not touching the lines instead of Tootless is an Actual Artist and drew hiccups face.

[theartofangirling]

people saying that the live action how to train your dragon is good actually because it's basically just a shot for shot remake of the original... then why the fuck would I watch it when I can just watch the (more visually stunning, not a blatant cash grab) original

[hiccstrid]

the whole time watching my heart ached and I was pouting because. it's message was animation isn't enough.

[hiccstrid]

THE CREATORS OF HTTYD LIVE ACTION DID NOT KNOW THAT toothless drawing in the sand makes Hiccups face. In the live action it's a bunch of scribbles. COME ON

i'll make a photo post

So they changed Astrid's meet with Toothless so that she's no longer smart enough to deduce that Toothless is a Night Fury from the sounds he makes and the fact that he is obviously an undocumented species (which she would know since she read the Book) and have Hiccup spell it out for her ("he's a Night Fury" no duh she figured that out HERSELF in the original), they make Astrid tell Hiccup to run so she can be a hero instead of jumping on top of him to save him because she deduced Toothless is a Night Fury and that's what she's been taught to do, they speed up the scene's pacing so it sounds like Mason Thames is trying to speedrun the movie and get ALL the lines out, and they removed the timing from the first "that's...for everything else" joke so she says the line only AFTER she gets him with the axe handle and she doesn't even look at him when she says it, taking away how personal her beating him up is.

[hiccstrid]

I want to add they they cut off the Night Fury Pamphlet line too early and it doesn't hit.

[spxrw]

woah there BUD!

[hiccstrid]

it was the same film shot for shot

[ashleybenlove]

Do you think when Hiccup decided to get engaged to Astrid (which I assume was him to her proposal but tbh I could vibe with her asking him), Hiccup was like "I have to go to Berk for reasons." And then left and everybody was like ???.

Also now that it's in my head, I am super vibing with Astrid asking Hiccup.

[hiccstrid]

Astrid totally asked i'm on board with that
