OH MY GOODNESS

Noooo

Eh, at least that has an artistic style tbh

Hmm interesting....

wow well you heard it here first folks

@@official_talksik but I loved your video and good take on your thoughts do you have discord

Thank you so much! No, we don't have a discord server set up.

@@official_talksik I gotcha well could you make a video reviewing my ninjago live action project video

I'll check it out!!

I guess not lol

This was the BEST POSSIBLE CASTING IDEA. I would've died.

httyd was my entire childhood lol

Mmm y'know they're all great in their own way

@@official_talksik Ye i laughed my .._0 off when i read the 3rd book.

If only he were faster than a speeding bullet...

Rawr

It’s literally like if you were an artist creating something and someone repainted it or something and in doing so changed something and they get more credit. It’s sad… this even happens with music artists.

Who's crying, sorry?

Good take lol 👍

Apparently recently the actress said that they were giving everything a different spin, so I don't even think you're meant to see them together I guess

@@official_talksik Well my childhood crumbled in front of my eyes

Yeah! I'm sure the actress will do a great job with it, I'm just worried about the writing. And yeah, absolutely read the books if you get the time! I'm going back through them again right now, they're so lovely.

That's super surprising to me!

Have you seen the most recent casting news? We have a short about it on the channel

I think movies rely too much on sfx nowadays

Unfortunately true

I DON'T KNOW but I think it's personal

Who hates who? What am I missing?

The remake trend is not one I'm happy with

Stoick is very old

I agree so much!

Yeah! We'll see how it turns out

I'm a bit less optimistic, but I'll hope for the best!

Yeah! I'm almost tempted to ignore the remake entirely, and just really hope that something book-accurate happens years later. The third movie is super emotional and has some great parts, but they really ripped off the end of the book series and tried to stick it on the end of theirs which felt pretty awkward.... what were your thoughts on that?

@@official_talksik oh boy this is gonna be a LONG one i apologise in advance 😭

@@official_talksik okay, as someone who indulged in every piece of the franchise available, both books and films, i was very quick to jump to defend the third film when i was younger but now i recognise how much potential was wasted - don’t get me wrong i still love every second of it, it just seems a little inconsistent with the themes and almost as if they tried to tie it back to the original storyline of the books even though it had developed to the point that the movie franchise was almost unrecognisable to it, so instead, it just seemed out of place. they needed a more realistic, definitive reason. if you've watched series like race to the edge you know that they've defeated tough enemies and prevailed. viggo was definitely a far more matched opponent to hiccup than grimmel, despite his more developed technology regarding deathgrippers and everything. not to mention the fact that it’s unrealistic for berk to be completed overcrowded by dragons - like yes, the people of berk get attached to dragons, but their goal was always to rehabilitate and, as you see in the series, bringing them back to islands where their species thrive. atp it would be more realistic if without the dragons killing vikings that berk was allowed to flourish and become overpopulated and thus more dragons blahblah you get the point. this might be somewhat the case in the films but it was mainly to do with their attachment to rescued dragons. now, one of the main themes is defying nature, starting w the fact that hiccup both as a runt - for example in the books, where you see the tradition of abandoning them as babies (like fishlegs) but this wasnt the case for hiccup (valka also brings similar up in the 2nd film) - and as someone who becomes disabled due to losing his leg, he is able to survive and adapt through his intelligence. furthermore, the idea of a ‘downed dragon is a dead dragon’ with toothless, but both of them end up being stronger together - which is. literally the entire message of the 2nd film. frustratingly completely abandoned in the third. a more plausible ending for the movie franchise wouldve been gradual separation, which is what it is in the books iirc. im glad they at least visit like toothless and windwalker did in the books tho in addition, valka would stand by these ideals and yet she didnt question the idea of dragons hiding whatsoever, even somewhat suggested it to hiccup - despite the fact that she rehabilitated dragons that literally would no longer survive in the wild without her help. and yet suddenly she thinks they should hide. all because of a human who, although isnt a terribly written villian, most definitely isnt enough of a reason for the dragon race to disappear off the face of the earth. and i know its not just grimmel, but the idea previously was always that they will work towards making the world a better place where both humans and dragons can thrive, whereas in the BOOKS, hiccup's goal all along was to free the dragons, not to create a world safe for them because he understood the danger. its outright unrealistic and inconsistent with valka's character AND hiccup's even though he ofc developed a lot and his character was developed REALLY well might i add but thats a whole other rant. anyway, yes, humans are assholes. yes, there will always be people to try to break up their power but their relationship is made to prevail. it felt so empty and anticlimactic after everything they went through together that was shown before. it took away the meaning of the previous films and series and everything… now i havent read the books in a while but it made FAR more sense for the dragons to disappear for safety and was also actually hinted at through the entire series whereas for me, i dont think it worked for the films. i LOVED the use of the iconic ‘there were dragons when i was a boy...” but they got it. so. wrong. anyway separated from the context of the franchise its a great film but it was disappointing in relation to inconsistencies. wasnt the ending wanted for the trilogy or in honour of the books

Oh my goodness that was long lol. I agree, I think Grimmel is sort of the worst part of the movie, especially since he's nowhere near as threatening as the people from the previous movies or shows. Maybe it could've worked without any bad guys and it could've just been a character study- After all, the movies are pretty strong on character and pretty weak on plot. I get chills every time I hear "There were dragons when I was a boy," but it's empty, it's a payoff with practically no setup. Maybe they could've said that now that Toothless is the Alpha, he's responsible for all the dragons' safety, and since it's time for him to go off with the Light Fury, the others need to follow. Idk, but Grimmel wasn't the best way to handle it by any means.

@@official_talksik again, so sorry for the length. like i said, special interest. VERY passionate 😭 but i completely agree !! and also yeah that line hits so hard everytime. jay's execution was perfect but it definitely needed a better set up, like in the books. something i do love is the fact that one consistency between the book and the films was hiccup trying to be the voice of peace and using his intelligence instead of always fighting straight up. of course this was executed very differently in the films but it was a core feature of his character i'm very glad they kept. i think grimmel is the weakest villian seen character wise. also night furies are the most intelligent species we see in the franchise. theres no way they went extinct from GRIMMEL. they probably moved further south as well as its stated they prefer warmer climates. either that, or the main reason i can think of for no other night furies being in the hidden world is that toothless, who doesnt seem to remember exactly where he came from or im sure he wouldve tried to fly there, came from further south as furies can travel long distances and fast, especially in comparison to other dragons. this would make it more logical for light furies to live up north as they seem to be more adapted to snow climates and i could elaborate but thats a whole other rant (again)... i get toothless is supposed to be unique and that's great and all but he can be unusual and different for being in berk in the first place without being the last night ever fury iygwim. i probably wouldnt mind if that was the case if it wasnt an undeveloped villain claiming to have killed them all... unrelated but i wish we had a chance to see bioluminescent furies because you can see that toothless has patterns even though theyre not very visible but they just kinda ignored this </3 again this could suggest that hes not adapted to / didnt originate from the hidden world but like... glowing toothless... :< on that note, how come there wasn't already an alpha of the hidden world. the consistency we see in the franchise is the fact that the only logical thing i can think of to make it make sense would be drago's bewilderbeast, who we do see again in the third film, bowing to toothless and the other dragons being like “aight ok seems legit ig’ light fury was disappointing too, i think she was too undeveloped. i ADORE her concept but i think the execution was poor and that she had a lot more potential. even more so the relationship with toothless was rushed, and i know they're wild animals and i get that realistically in the wild light fury probably wouldn't accept him as a mate if he couldn’t fly on his own but like. she had so little screen time for her to just leave with toothless. i just wish they developed her character more - her main traits were being a female fury and scared of humans. she kinda lacked a personality all in all. they could’ve just developed her a BIT more and she'd be amazing. i wish theyd also made her design less stereotypically feminine what w the sparkles and whatnot. she still cute tho and yeah, ofc toothless had a responsibility to protect the dragons as their alpha but i also think its a little weird that none of the other dragons objected to this even if not totally unrealistic - i mean, toothless stood up to drago's bewilderbeast because of his bond w hiccup - why wouldn't others object to a far more sensible leader, even if they're afraid of humans like grimmel i think you're right about the character study part. i really understand the diversion away from the pure dependency on each other but there is definitely a better way to show rising independency, what with hiccup realising he doesnt need toothless to be a good chief and toothless being able to have his own separate dragon family but this could be done WITHOUT the removal of their relationship entirely. like i said previously, i think they needed a more drastic reason for the dragons to go into hiding. i love that it was a mutual decision and understanding between toothless and hiccup with respect. it really works that toothless has something that allows him to be independent but you can do that without removing the element of teamwork. their relationship just seems unnaturally disconnected which i dont think would happen, atleast not that quickly also i think it was mentioned that they do maintenance on toothless' tail every so often in a short film or smth but im not sure. yes i know its fantasy and all but i think it is unrealistic that toothless would have a perfect tail all of a sudden and not have any problems with it - ofc it would be fireproof because of the scales and whatever but that doesn't mean it wouldn't get torn or literally just rust or break because its definitely more fragile than his skin and is partially metal. ain't gonna last buddy...

Yeah, I guess I can understand that lol

It's definitely not that big a deal

@@official_talksik thats what im saying

full refund will be in order
