Thomas Kenny From an adaptation standpoint I might agree with you, as the HTTYD movies have even less in common with their source material than either the Percy Jackson or Eragon movies (which is a monumental feat in and of itself). However, HTTYD is at least a solid movie, while the others are absolute garbage.

When I was in boarding school, my good friend entered a Montana writing competition and won a dinner date with Christopher Paolini. After politely chatting about both their circumstances for a few minutes, my friend could not help but ask Paolini for his thoughts on the movie adaptation. Long story short, Paolini despised the film as much as any other sane fan of the series. I specifically remember he claimed Paolini was most disappointed with the Urgals being portrayed as juggalos minus the clown makeup. ((Bonus fun fact my friend learned on the dinner date: Paolini straight up eats plain butter as an appetizer. To heavily paraphrase the Paolini's stance on the expectation of eating your butter on bread (it's been a few years), "Early in my adolescence, I had it figured out that bread was nothing more than a vessel for butter, an unnecessary component, and I've never looked back".))

[@BigShrimpin_]

Also the books are far from perfect, but still probably one of my favourite series. If I remember rightly there seems to be elements of the second book in the film as well which is weird. But honestly, how does someone manage to fuck up the adaptation this badly. I went into it with low expectations because it's a film adaptation of a book I like, but they managed to go beyond anything I could have imagined. And most importantly though... WHY. DOES. SAPHIRA. HAVE. FEATHERS.

[@grimms1916]

I KNOW! Other things that killed me: The urgals are just big dudes, no horns. The Raz'ak are killed here in the first movie one of the many ways they killed sequel potential. Durza is a fucking twink with mcguffin powers. The battle of Tronjheim wasn't between the varden and kull. It was the varden and a few humans, with some regular "Urgals" thrown in. And if I remember rightly, Eragon also never recieved his scar.

lol I haven't watched this movie since it came out, when I was 19....but damn I forgot about saphira having the feather....this movie was a shit show! not even remotely close to the books. it's like they just crammed the book into a short version of what the director thought everyone wanted to see.

I agree.

And Garrow's death which was a emotionally driven factor in Eragon did not happen in the same was. What happened was that he was burned by a very corrosive acid and found in the rubble of his farm, and the only home he knew of. Brom's character was also not really the same and didn't make you feel as much for his death. when he died in the book I almost cried. When he died in the movie I laughed. Explaining how sapphire's egg ending up in the wood's didn't leave the mistory of why was it there. And left Ayra to be a character people try to figure out fully. and syphira's growth rate was waaaay to fast it took about a fortnight(2 weeks. NOT THE VIDEO GAME.) for her to be a decent growth size. not big enough to ride but not small enough to not be able to fly. AND ERAGON WAS NOT BREAKING HIS RIBS EVER 100 PAGES. my favorite part.also remember the shade you know the red head guy yeah. HE WAS NOT DEAD HE WAS IN A ANOTHER BATTLE WITH ERAGON AT THE END.

They lost funding

[@vijayanand6650]

there are reasons behind some of the things that appear coincidental or illogical. The reason the stone appeared in front of eragon is becasue another group of beings hijacked and influences arya's magic. Durza didn't summon fire where she was standing becasue he had to get the stone/egg from her and couldn't risk anything happening to it. The eggs are enchanted to only hatch when the one destined to ride them touch them. Otherwise an egg can be ready to hatch and stay in stasis for ages. Saphira was in a stasis in her egg for a little over 100 years. Therefore convenient timing is not quite so convenient, considering the Varden(rebels) have been trying to find someone the egg will hatch for for 20 years and Galbatorix for 80 years before that, also it then couldn't have hatched for Roran, Sloan, or anyone else. Brom has the ability to speak to people telepathically, the way Eragon and Saphira can so yes Eragon could hear him. Eragon gets direction from Arya through a vision becasue she's supposed to be in a self induced coma to slw the poison.

[@pipbash4939]

I love your corrections, but as a fellow fan of Eragon I have to ask why you're defending this movie. It's worse than the Percy Jackson movies.

[@EEVictory13]

Also Jeremy clearly states that the books don’t matter. A movie that requires you to read the source material for anything to make sense is a failure

[@ElectromasterTech]

I thought it was (SPOILER ALERT) that the egg went to Eragon because Arya tried to send it to Brom, but because it was such a long distance, and Eragon was truly Brom's son, that it went to him instead. Atleast, that's what I thought? Also, at one point in the books I recall Saphira saying that she chose Eragon, so I dont think it's the egg/enchantments that decide but instead the dragon inside

I cant describe in words how sad this movie makes me. I have a deep love for the inheritance cycle, it inspired me to start writing D&D quests for my friends, started my love for fantasy, and is one of my favorite fantasy stories of all time. And it hurts to see all the mistakes that they made (I still cant believe how one dimensional and boring Galbatorix is in this film. one of the elements that made him intimidating in the books was that he didn't say a single word until very late in the series, despite being its big bad. The only details available about him where whispered and fearful up until that point). I know that my enjoyment of the series is not a metric that gives it worth, nor is my sentimentality. But if this movie had actually been good, It might have become an amazing cinematic experience. I'm going to end this by being that guy, the books are almost always better, and they certainly are in this case.

[@Dark3nedDragon]

The books were a LOT darker than the movie, examples: Final battle in the first book (Eragon) involves Eragon fighting in a Dwarf city (if memory serves), being betrayed by Magicians/Sorcerers (was not protected by them at all in the battle, and therefore could have instantly died; the stuff that happened immediately following was by their willingness to betray him), so when he beats the evil sorcerer, he ends up with a debilitating scar that cripples him. The next book begins, he ends up heading to the elves, where they're kinda racist and demeaning towards him (Elves having much faster speed, strength, and are typically more skilled than their human counterparts; taunting and jeering a literally crippled Eragon). He ends up becoming a half-elf by some weird dragon ritual that he accidentally partakes in. Finally learns Magic, and goes through the paces of properly using it. Eventually realizes the ability to harness it offensively, and as well how to draw on the energy of others (literally, like killing plants, animals, etc. for their life force). Proceeds to become very efficient at utilizing the magic in battle, overwhelming enemy Magic-users, which are protecting troops, and upon conquering their minds / killing them, proceeds to snap arteries/blood vessels in all the soldiers in that entire grouping (hundreds to thousands), instantly killing them. Gains even more power, and learns ways of acquiring more, literally taking the Souls / Consciousness of Dragons that are imbued in little stones, and utilizing those as a power resource (the bad guy uses those in addition to his own resources, to make himself almost unkillable, and puts up a ridiculous amount of wards against harm). He beats the bad guy, by circumventing his wards, using wordless magic to innocuously have him 'experience the suffering that he had caused to others', leading to his undoing. There was more, but we're talking about books I read about a decade ago.

I’m glad Jeremy thought Saphira was cute. Don’t care he didn’t remove a scene she’s fucken cute and he thinks so. I’m glad.

She looked better on the cover art for the book. That's the only thing the movie did well (but I wanna kill them for having her grow up by going through a CLOUD.)

[@ultu3632]

TheReal Monkey it’s a movie g. Got less time to explain the growing up process than a book does. It’s rushed, but it’s what they had to do.

[@singingcat02]

The worst part is, the Eragon books are very "cinematic" books. In many instances while reading them I found myself picturing scenes very clearly in my mind because a lot of the time, the descriptions feel straight up like the author is writing down what he’s watching on a screen. That makes a movie all the easier to make out of it. In some scenes the staging is just given. I don’t know how they even managed to make a mess out of it. The series is rather slow-paced and very fitting for cinema adaptation. I hope Disney does something acceptable with their show.

Wowwww what a coincidence, I just started reading Eldest for the first time last night right before bed. I loved the book for Eragon growing up and was totally heartbroken by this movie when it came out.

[@crott9546]

Parscuit dude the entire series is amazing. The last book is fantastic

[@yatosjumpsuit6837]

@@crott9546 The series is really generic and rips off stuff from a bunch of different franchises. On the other hand it was the first big book series I ever read as a child so when the movie came out I was actually really offended. This movie crushed my childhood.

Your Neighborhood seagull I mean it was written by a 15 year old.

[@Parscuit]

@@yatosjumpsuit6837 Everything created today is inspired from something else. Sure it has elements of Star Wars and LOTR.... But it's still a completely seperate and mostly different story on it's own. There's a difference between Ripping off and inspiration.

[@crott9546]

Your Neighborhood seagull Thank you for telling me something I already know. The combination of the things it took inspiration from is why I like it...

It took four tries for someone to finally get Lord of the Rings right. We can only hope the same for Eragon. There was too much crammed into a two hour movie. Too many corners were cut and scenes put together that should not have been.

[@godlygamer911]

and then they ruined The Hobbit...

[@lurker1245]

I feel like that's the problem with alot of book - movie adaptations, they try to cram things like a trillogy into one movie and skip everything possible, like that horrifying mess Miss Peregrine's movie which if it had been done right could have been amazing

[@MrJTP]

Christopher got too greedy. I think his biggest mistake was allowing them to make the movie when neither they nor he even knew how the story was fully going to end. This came out right in the middle of the entire set of books, when at the time it was supposed to be a trilogy and not a cycle.

[@greattattoos]

MrJTP the story hasn’t ending he just came out with new book for it recently

[@MrJTP]

@@greattattoos *stares in pikachu* Are you kidding? Well I prob won't be picking it up either way. I didn't like the ending of book 4, and when I realized that his story was just a RIP off of star wars and lotr, I lost a lot of enthusiasm for the series

[@logurtte]

MrJTP well do remember that Christopher was a teenager at the time. And as a teenager myself, I can vouch for the fact that poor choices are inevitable.

[@greattattoos]

MrJTP love the Pokémon reference. But not it’s called the fork, the witch and the worm. tales from algesia volume 1:eragon.

[@MrJTP]

@@logurtte yes this is true. According to wiki, he wrote it at 15, then spent another year rewriting it and self published before it got picked up by a publishing company in 2002. By then he would have been around age 22 though. By the time book two and the movie premiered, he would have been roughly 25-26 years old as well. I'm not saying he should have been perfect, and he has done remarkable for his age/skillset, but he wrote the story in between graduating home school and college. He had more time to perfect his craft than the average teen, who still would have been juggling school and a social life.
