#httyd3 rant

Venting about HTTYD 3 stuff I’ve seen recently

What’s with this sudden rise of thinking people who criticize certain aspects of HTTYD 3 or have different opinions when it comes to certain parts of the franchise have “missed the entire point of the franchise” or “didn’t understand HTTYD 3″? 

Like I’ve seen some people say that others shouldn’t treat their opinions about HTTYD 3 as fact (I agree) and say their own opinions about HTTYD 3 aren’t fact but then they say crap like the stuff mentioned above and just??? So your interpretations and thoughts about HTTYD 3 are opinions, and their interpretations and thoughts about HTTYD 3 are opinions, but their opinions are so wrong they missed the entire point of the franchise and didn’t understand the movie at all?

Like sorry that I don’t think Toothless was portrayed as just an animal throughout most of the franchise. Yes, I think the bond between an animal and a human can be deep and meaningful and you can certainly have an animal as a friend, even a best friend, and yes animals can certainly be more intelligent than a lot of people think. I just don’t think that was how Hiccup and Toothless’ friendship was meant to be portrayed originally, and personally I find the idea of a friendship between a boy and a creature that doesn’t quite think the same way, but has human-like intelligence more compelling and fitting within the franchise and also more interesting considering there’s already so many “boy befriends animal” movies out there. I don’t think I’m missing a major point of the franchise or crapping on animal-human bonds for thinking this way. I don’t think others are missing a major point of the franchise for having a different opinion. Please people, stop acting like you’re smarter than others for thinking Toothless was just an animal all along or whatever.

No, I don’t dislike HTTYD 3 just because the ending isn’t happy. If any HTTYD 3 fans are reading this...please don’t say things like this. Please. It’s so annoying to read things like that. 

Whoops this is longer than I intended and is kinda disjointed and I probably didn’t word some things very well but man behavior like this really annoys me and I just had to rant and share my thoughts on certain things.

(As a sort of endnote, yes I have seen similar behavior from people that criticize HTTYD 3. No, I don’t think it’s correct and I try to avoid saying things like that in my own posts. I can understand why some people like HTTYD 3 and disagree with me on certain things.)

Man, I am dreading this new Snoggletog short. Not only because I really dislike HTTYD 3, but because if it’s the project Richard Hamilton was hinting at (which it very well might be, but I’ve also heard he have plans for another HTTYD game?) then the Night Light’s genders are gonna be revealed and my headcanons are going to be completely destroyed. No joke, those headcanons are some of the very few things from HTTYD 3 that give me joy, and they aren’t even things actually shown in the movie lmao. I just know they’re going to do the most cliche crap and have the blue-eyed one be female, and the two green-eyed ones be males (R.I.P Strika, Snowy, and Norbert...), and I also have a feeling that they’re really gonna hammer in the whole “Hiccup and Toothless never see each other again after the end of HTTYD 3″ which Dean confirmed in an interview which will make it much harder for me to ignore it lol.

I’m aware that most of this is pretty petty (which is why I won’t put it in the main tags only the criticism/salt ones) but I still wanted to share my thoughts. Anyone feel similarly?
