Something I just noticed...
In How to Train Your Dragon 2, when Hiccup and Toothless reunite and everyone is cheering them on for their second fight with Drago and the Bewilderbeast, pretty much everyone has dismounted from their respective baby dragons and are now standing on Berk, either on sheep duty or helping the citizens, apparently. Astrid’s “TAKE ‘EM DOWN, BABE!” is shouted from the ground.
Someone didn’t dismount, though. Valka shouts her encouragement from the back of the wild, baby dragon, rather than from the crowd on the island.
Valka stayed in her comfort zone and away from Berk, even now: on dragonback, in the air. She’s there, supporting her son, but she’s staying right where she feels she belongs, far above her old life on Berk… until Hiccup and Toothless get ice blasted.
This is the first time Valka’s set foot on Berk since the Cloudjumper incident, and under similar circumstances: she’s afraid something is about to happen to Hiccup.
What we know of Valka is that she’s fiercely independent and holds a strong set of values about dragons and freedom, and the only time she’s ever seen really connecting with her life on Berk is out of concern for Hiccup. Valka might be a free spirit and literally flighty… but I don’t want to hear any more talk about her not caring about her boy!
Oh my god yes I didnt notice that! GRRR, and yet folks still don’t believe me when I say 2 was just as deep and rich if not moreso and a better movie than #1
