Just wanted to show this great moment between Snotlout and Hiccup as the former decides, without a single complaint, to help out a friend and find him a new leg.
I like that Snotlout decides to help Hiccup out without even batting an eye. I like that he does it in a humorous and typical way for him while still showing that he’s genuinely trying to help a guy out.
There is no useless taunting banter, no sarcasm, no other Snotlout-y things he probably would have said if this were to have taken place in the past, just Snot immediately finding a solution for Hiccup’s problem, getting to solving it without wasting time, and not immediately asking for something in return.
I like that he actually did pick out a left leg for Hiccup to use too. And one that fits!
The dialogue was also quite whimsical.
Hiccup: *babbling nonsense*
Momma Snotlout: Hush you!
And then there is that little victory smirk after he attaches the bone leg. Such a Snotface...face.
But most of all, I love how, when Hiccup stands up to test out his spoopy new leg, Snotlout actually stays kneeled and checks to make sure this is an okay solution for Hiccup, not smiling or smirking or anything. Just waiting and seeing if Hicc can stand like this.
I just really love this moment, I really do. It is the Hiccup and Snotlout that I will never forget. We can basically see, in just this moment alone, how much Snotlout has grown in Race to the Edge.
Snotlout! Snotlout! Oi! Oi! Oi! (Snotlout bonus)
