I'm not the first to notice, but I just did. No one ever touches Valka's Bewilderbeast

Yet Drago rides his

There's something that really bothers me about the ending of httyd2 and that's how they attacked Drago's alpha. After babbling the whole film that "dragons are noble creatures" and "there are no bad dragons, only bad people who make them do bad things" (I know this isn't the exact quote but you get the idea) suddenly all the dragons shot at the alpha and BROKE ONE OF HIS HORNS. Shouldn't they have attacked Drago instead? Idk it made me feel pretty bad for the poor dragon. He's not guilty.

Are you just as bothered by the ending of the first movie then?  Because Hiccup obliterated that dragon. The Red Death’s story has been speculated about and I know the Bewilderbad was an innocent dragon at one point, but that was a long time ago.  Everyone, no matter what their excuse is, is somebody’s villain.  These individuals happened to become Hiccup’s.  Hiccup’s always been someone who will take action to protect his own when pushed. He was pushed in the first movie and he was pushed in the second movie. He acts in the moment, and sometimes action over forgiveness is the necessary option for the individual. Not the greater good, bullshit, but the individual.

On that note, I wouldn’t say Hiccup didn’t attack Drago.  Drago used the Bewilderbeast as a weapon and as a shield.  Hiccup did initially choose to separate them and then the Bewilderbeast attacked them without Drago.  Like I said, sometimes its action over forgiveness. Forgiveness and saving has its limits--especially when it becomes stupid and harmful for yourself and your loved ones.

Also, recognize that Valka said there are “no bad dragons”.  Not Hiccup. No one else. Valka. Some things are said for narration, but who says them matters.  Valka probably would have chosen to attack Drago over the Bewilderbeast--well, she did (then again, with human judgement she probably felt some level of grief and anger towards the Bewilderbad for killing the alpha of sanctuary).
