Current mood: hallucinating a version of httyd3 that doesn't suck.

#httyd3 negativity #this also requires rewriting some aspects of httyd2 #it's been a long time since I even really thought about httyd after the third movie #I had to detox from seeing it for a few years I guess #the first movie and GOTNF are the only fully canon movieverse installments for me #later bad/controversial canon installments make me so sad #not only do they run the risk of ruining earlier canon for people but they also divide fanbases and alienate people who used to #connect over loving the same thing...#it's regrettable

“Hiccup’s real problem is that he is so relied upon Toothless that Toothless has become his security blanket. [. . .] And ultimately [Astrid's] the greatest resource and support that he has." --- Dean DeBlois

Toothless is Hiccup's actual goddamn soulmate as stated on your fucking website and the fact that you felt the need to trash all over this relationship and separate them to boost Astrid's importance (which wasn't even NECESSARY) is fucking disgusting and makes you just as trashy as that third movie.

#i despise httyd 3 and strongly dislike dean deblois and i'm so goddamn angry #what a horrifically awful way to end the trilogy #goddamn unforgivable #////#/////#httyd3 spoilers #httyd 3 spoilers #httyd3 negativity #httyd3 salt #dean deblois

I've decided. I don't like the HTTYD movie sequels' xenophobia era. I don't think the themes should have gone that way.

#or isolationism or defeatism or segregation or valuing heteroamatonormativity and something uncomfortably close-#-to the Divine Right of Kings (or at least 'might makes right') above and beyond everything else.#I think it really undercut the first movie.#although in some awful way I guess it makes sense that they concluded by framing Hiccup and Toothless' relationship as -#-something bad that fundamentally 'needed' to end #because that relationship was the microcosm of growing out of the Othering and 'us vs them' mentality #and growing into a new era of progress and support and cultural exchange and compassion beyond your in-group #and the sequels no longer believe in any of those things.#I was originally way too lenient to HTTYD2 because I cared about the characters and story and really wanted to like it.#but also because it was an unfinished story and I used to have faith in the third one. before. you know.#I didn't want to believe that the message of HTTYD2 could have actually been that Hiccup should just believe his authorities #when they say that an othered enemy they don't really understand or know much about is just extremely dangerous #and will always go for the kill and cannot be reasoned with and war is the only option.#the narrative punishes Hiccup for NOT taking this for granted MUCH more harshly than HTTYD1 'punished' Stoick for the opposite.#(which isn't a criticism of HTTYD1 which actually treated the characters as well-meaning ppl with their own POVs-#-and actually let them learn and grow and put focus on portraying THAT.)#in the sequels the only ideas that get challenged are Hiccup's progressive push which just gets killed in the third.#so they can return to traditionalism. and this idea that everyone outside of Berk's homogenous in-group is irredeemably evil #(except Eret who kinda just stopped mattering and being his own character)#and because of all these Evil Foreigners. their unchallenged unique in-group just can't have nice things #so they just apply segregation and the dragons should Go Back Where They Came From and the humans stay on their new big rock #that looks like the physical manifestation of isolationism.#what was even the POINT of ANYTHING from the first movie anymore?#httyd criticism #httyd2 criticism #httyd3 criticism #thw criticism #thw negativity #httyd3 negativity #I don't think this is a very thematically coherent trilogy. they did a full 180° against the first movie.

Hey old HTTYD people who might still follow me somehow because it's not like I'm getting new followers on Tumblr in 2024,

Is it finally okay to openly side-eye the live action remake from the start, or do I need to either pretend to like it or shut up like everyone who didn't like THW needed to do back in the day? Or can we finally actually talk about the newer HTTYD franchise installments being... kind of a downgrade?

Of course I would tag the negativity 'cause I'm not an asshole, and tumblr has had a built in tag/phrase blocker for years,

The catharsis of finally allowing myself to feel bad and hate THW. It was required, in order to reclaim my ability to love HTTYD1+GOTNF. I can finally watch them again and love every scene. I can listen to the soundtrack again.

I had lost something good and dear to me by trying to "accept" something bad in its place. I don't want to do that anymore. I don't want to take the kinds of bad things into my life that make it impossible for good things to remain there.

#boiling the frog #httyd3 critical #httyd3 criticism #httyd3 negativity #thw critical #thw criticism #thw negativity #'accepting' THW and loving httyd1/gotnf were mutually exclusive #because in order to 'accept' THW I would have to accept that everything that was good about HTTYD1/GOTNF was actually bad somehow.#idk what to think about httyd2 anymore. it's like an unfinished draft now #an unfinished draft with very high production values...#for the record I'm fine with the bittersweetness of good things that come with something 'bad' tied to them #but this isn't such a case.

Live Action Toothless looks like the dry spongebob version of THW!Toothless
