Here’s an idea for Jörmungandr… don’t have him be there only final threat. Imagine if they made a wolf dragon like Fenrir and have them both be strong enough to pose a threat to the hidden world.

[@rossjones8656]

Not exactly true to myth but what if it was a battle between the two the hiccup stopped and was forced to find a way to stop them by sealing them away because even hiccup can't calm these beasts from hell and now it up to the new generation to end what hiccup couldn't.

[@hamishstewart5324]

What if Jormungandr wasn’t a dragon at all? It could be some other reptile from a section of the hidden world where dragons don’t live, but the creatures that live alongside it are gigantic, causing Jormungandr’s immense size (I’m imagining this one as longer than the bewilderbeast) so when the characters try and use the same tricks the Vikings used to train or pacify dragons, nothing ends up working.

[@Time-machinery-er9dq]

I wouldn't even include the Jörmungandr as the final threat. Instead, it would be a tortured slave by a bunch of neo-Nazi scientists. So here's how it would go: During World War II, a bunch of Nazis went into a cave in Argentina that led to the Dark Realm. They found the Jörmungandr when it was sleeping, and injected the creature with nanobots. They made a special taser staff that bangs on the ground, triggering the nanobots to electrocute its insides whenever the dragon tries to resist them. These operations continue even unto the present day, as there are multiple Jörmungandrs enslaved by the Nazis. These Nazis built a base inside the Dark Realm, and imprisoned it in a giant cage to make it starve, as a test to see if it could submit to them willingly. So here, it's not Hiccup who imprisons the Jörmungandr; it's Nazis. The final threat, however, is not the Nazis; they're only the villains of one season. Instead, it's the leader of Rakke Corp's massive rival company who wants to wipe out humanity with his futuristic technology, and has a chrome suit that can deflect attacks. His plan is to unleash a massive swathe of drones upon the world to exterminate the human race so dragons would be the ruling species.

For me, the HTTYD franchise took a serious blow when the writers decided to rush to books ending in HTTYD 3 with no setup for it and the final message of the franchise was "Give up fighting for what you believe and is right". I dislike such nihilistic endings. I grew up with this franchise as HTTYD1 characters were at similar ages as I was back then.

[@kai_3788]

An idea just, off the top of my head, that could maybe salvage the concept of Dragoncite and why Hiccup had to trap Jörmungandr for thousands of years. So let’s say the Dragoncite, instead of just producing oxygen, had a power that was very clearly mystical in nature, which would now explain why the scientists weren’t able to make that much progress in researching it. What the Dragoncite actually does is that it increases a dragon’s strength, speed, and durability to great degrees, far surpassing the natural capabilities of a dragon’s species, but it had the drawback of making the dragon go insane basically? (It wouldn’t be the first time that something like this was introduced into the series but the nine realms already copies other things from previous series so much that I don’t care) What if throughout the series we had seen a few dragons in the nine realms that were corrupted by clusters Dragoncite that would seemingly randomly activate and hit a dragon, causing them to go haywire and the cast having to stop it. We find out that that’s what happened to Jörmungandr and it was just so powerful that it was not only destroying the environment in the nine realms and could pose a threat to surface if it ever arose, but it was also able to overpower Hiccup and Toothless, to the point where killing it wasn’t an option either. And so Hiccup had no choice but trap Jörmungandr so that no one else was hurt. We could then also later find out that it was the Nidhogg biting onto the main Dragoncite cluster in Yggdrasil that was causing the Dragoncite clusters in the other realms to activate. I wouldn’t say that this would be the best idea that the show could’ve gone for, but I at least think it’s more interesting than what they did.

[@TheDeadmanDante]

It's almost poetic in a way. The first How to Train your Dragon had Hiccup attempting to live up to the expectations of his father and his community, trying to be what other people wanted him to be. It's only during the coliseum battle with the Monsters-Nightmare, does he officially decide that he is no longer going to be what other people want him to be, and tries to make piece with the dragon. Meanwhile, we have June immediately put a label onto Tom and he doesn't decide to chart his own path like Hiccup did all those years ago. In a weird way, I'm kinda glad that Tom is "not like Hiccup," despite how he has been portrayed in the series, because comparing this cringy and complacent moron of a character to one of the greatest protagonists in all of DreamWorks animation is beyond insulting.

[@TheOfficialRizzler]

Can we just acknowledge that freaking LEGO NINJAGO made a better world ending snake plot line? And wasn't even Norse mythology based?!?!?!

Honestly I still think Jormungandr should’ve been some other type of giant reptile instead of a dragon. Maybe it could’ve been from the deepest reaches of the hidden world and the reason it was even in the other realms could be because the opening of the fissure weakened the barrier between its natural range and the dragon’s habitats. How cool would it have been to see foreshadowing of Jormungandr’s rise before hand? Maybe it starts with just a few large cracks in the stone in the fissure, a few dead plants surrounding them, followed by deep hissing noises coming from the cracks in the middle seasons and then the sheer movement of Jormungandr causing tremors before it finally breaks through the wall separating it from the dragons. Also, what if there was some reveal where the characters are looking through Hiccup’s notes of the creatures in the hidden world, mostly dragons but a few others too, and Jormungandr’s page was nearly blank like the night fury’s page in the original book of dragons.

The day of reckoning has finally come! No more 9 Realms!

[@VPalamedes25]

Honestly if they wanted to end on a high note (somehow), they could've shown the "World Serpent" eating dragons and growing larger with every dragon consumed. Make it an actual threat, make it a Tidal class, make it live up to the name WORLD SERPENT! Season's gonna end in 6 episodes w/ a rehash of the 3rd movie's ending, might as well go out on a high note. Also, 21:00, gotta love a pimp named Slickback. Now to wait for Audrie's review of this season Also, random thing for those to ponder. What would this series have been like if it chose to take a darker turn? Redesigned the characters? Rewrote the series and actually did a good job?

[@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic]

or you know... keep mythology fantasy out of what was supposed to be more 'real world' like how it was supposed to be. we didnt want or need this. wouldve been better if we had something more canon like the purple death

[@70Lu07]

I honestly think that they could have made the world serpent longer and faster, to make it clear that this thing is caoable of challenging the bigger dragons by outspeeding them and using it's poison breath to paralyze them and start ripping their flesh with it's teeth, this would at least justify how small it is, by being smaller it is harder for the bigger dragons to hit, and by being faster it makes it harder to aim, they had the perfect formula right there, but they chose to make it just a big lame snake

[@decimalheckery5737]

you know, with the potential it had to follow mythology, it'd be a cool fanproject to rebuild like.. the plot? premise? lore? of the show

[@dalekrenegade2596]

A video series basically rework this from the ground up would be awesome. In fact let me add my two cents with the setting. - The crevice is a recent phenomenon caused by strange seismic activity. The scare the opening cause was a huge news sensation and so a science team was set up to study it. - The base was nothing special at first however the discovery of unique Norse artifacts, strange readings, and large deposits of conventional and unknown metals led the base to become akin to a small town similar to Los Alamos. - The staff would be made up of scientists of various fields from geology and archeology with others firming security and corporate leadership. - Olivia Kulluersen is a well renowned archeologist specifically on the Viking age. That's what I have so far.

[@hamishstewart5324]

@@dalekrenegade2596I also think it would be cool if it wasn’t just the dragons down there. Like, in the first two seasons the dragons are the main focus, but starting from the third season, they slowly start to introduce other mythical creatures like the griffin or unicorns or something along those lines, they could even pull a lost world and have a realm populated by dinosaurs. Heck, they could even lean further into the whole dragons inspiring cryptids thing they hinted at, with creatures like Nessie, the Mokele Mbembe, the Ropen, and so on being dragons.

[@drewluczynski9609]

It literally just occurred to me. Why couldn’t they have just had Hiccup defeat Jormangundr and have this one be its offspring or something that he didn’t notice it laid an egg. Boom! Just solved two major problems, and made a legacy rivalry continues thingy. If I write better with barely any effort, let that speak for this show

[@hamishstewart5324]

Alternatively, if they wanted to go with the whole “ancient evil locked away” vibe they could’ve had Jormungandr be an invasive species from a different realm that escaped and started terrorising the dragons. That way, when Hiccup and Toothless defeated it and lured it back to its natural realm, they seal off the bridge between the dragon’s habitats and Jormungandr’s.

To quote Schaffrillas, "All the basic lore inconsistencies pretty much imply that this is a 'Penguins Of Madagascar TV show" situation, because in that show, there was clearly no point in the timeline when the Penguins and the Lemurs would have been in the zoo together. It's obviously just an AU, and that's what this is too."

[@zacharybartolo5111]

This might be a weird idea, but I was kinda expecting the meteor to be carrying some kind of alien dragon egg. I know it would be weird to have aliens in a show about dragons, but i don’t think it would be any weirder then how the series approaches dragons in a realistic manor. My idea would be that the alien dragon would be Jormangandr (not the actual mythological monster by the by), it’s a legit invasive species that not only will threaten the dragons world, but also the planet as it’ll grow more and more the longer it lives until it eventually destroys everything around it. Maybe it’s kinda a dumb idea but it’s more effort I put into the note than the writers did.

That’s really far out there, but it’s genuinely so much cooler than what we got.

The outro kind of made me emotional, ngl

[@Trash-ef2jn]

When I was almost 5 years old I watched how to train your dragon for the first time in a theater and I loved it. I also watched the riders of berk and defenders of berk when they were on cartoon network and enjoyed them. I then watched the second movie with my family and a family friend and I didn't like it as much as the first one but I loved it and I watched race to the egde when it came to Netflix I really enjoyed it. And when I learned that how to train your dragon the hidden world was going to be the final movie I was upset but I knew that it had to end so I watched it in a theater and I thought it was a beautiful end to the franchise and the Christmas special was decent. But when I heard that dragons the nine realms was announced I thought it was fake and I didn't want to know more about it because like I said I thought it was fake but when the first trailer was out I thought eh I might check it out so I watched the first episode on Hulu the day it premiered and I didn't like it then I watched 2 episodes with my mother and sister and they said that they didn't like it and finished it myself so save them the torture and then season 2 came out I watched the entire season the morning of premiere and I hated it more than the last one and then I discovered your channel though your videos on the show and audries too and season 3 was released and I was bored out of my mind and season 4 I hated the most for reasonable things and season 5 I was mostly bored except for some parts that made me laugh unintentionally and season 6 was released I was still bored and season 7 I was more disappointed and filled me more with rage because of jun and jormunger. When I learned that season 8 was the final season I was happy that it was finally ending and when I watched that the flashback that hiccup trapped jormunger it remained me of a line nostalgia critic said in his review for the Neverending story 3 warning it contains very nasty language: this is not jumping the shark no THIS IS JUMPING THE SHARK COMING BACK SHOOTING IT IN THE BALLS RAPING IT EATING ITS FLESH CONSUMING ITS SOUL AND HANGING ITS HEAD ON THE WALL AND THEN DOING THE SAME THING TO 12 MORE FUCKING SHARKS JUST TO BE SAFE and not only that line sums up that scene up perfectly but it sums up the whole show in a nutshell. When the show ended I was satisfied because this godawful show is finally over and I consider dragons the nine realms to be the worst TV series I have ever seen and the show that originality had that title was American Housewife a show that has it's characters who are dumbasses but I felt something when watching it when it comes to dragons the nine realms other than alex who is best girl and jun and her brother making me angry and moments that made me laugh unintentionally and moments that ruined my childhood I felt nothing if a how to train your dragon fan reads this and this video stay far away from this show it ruins everything that made the original movies and tv series soo good and the first movie is one of my favorite movies of all time and this show broke me. If you want to watch a good DreamWorks show that is not related to how to train your dragon I recommend she ra and the princesses of power,kipo and the age of wonderbeasts,jurassic world camp cretaceous and the adventures of rocky and bullwinkle they are better animated and have better characters that are likable,relatable and even funny and if you want to watch a independent animation project I would recommend kyoryu,talon,sauria,dinosaur empire,forgotten bloodlines agate,godspeed,lackadaisy,the amazing digital Circus,atlas and the stars,the lovers and hazbin hotel watch those and raisor good luck

At least the Star Wars sequals tried to appeal to Star Wars fans by having it take place after the originals

[@Time-machinery-er9dq]

No, they didn't; they tried to appeal to SJWs and feminists who thought their left-wing politics were more important than making good stories. The sequel trilogy was made as a blatant ripoff of the original trilogy, it character-assassinated Luke Skywalker and Han Solo (Luke would never have tried to kill Ben in his sleep after RotJ where he saved Vader from the dark side of the Force, Han would've never gone back to smuggling after TESB where he went to find Luke in the dangerous icy wilderness and remained with him until they were found), and it elevates the female protagonists as more important than and more superior to the male protagonists. It's main character, Rey, is so base-breaking that people have been debating on whether or not she qualifies as a Mary Sue. It's filled with massive internal inconsistency problems, Finn is reduced to such a background character to the point the most memorable thing about him in _The Rise of Skywalker_ is him screaming "Rey!" a lot of times, and Palpatine's return and him getting killed by Rey completely destroys Anakin's fulfilling his role as the Chosen One because he didn't destroy the Sith. Kathleen Kennedy even disregarded George Lucas's vision of the _Star Wars_ sequel trilogy to make her own vision of the sequel trilogy come to life, where it's filled with female-empowerment and man-degredation instead of actual good storytelling. She didn't give a crap about what the fans wanted to see, and the two directors of the sequel trilogy (JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson) had a very back-and-forth attitude on how to do the sequel trilogy because they had no plan. An example of this is Rey's origin story; _The Last Jedi_ states that Rey is a Nobody while _The Rise of Skywalker_ states that she's a Palpatine. Rian Johnson was also obsessed with subverting the expectations of the audience and dividing half of the audience, and did not care about making _The Last Jedi_ a good movie nor about what the fans wanted to see.

[@scrittle]

@@Time-machinery-er9dq Woke/SJW arguments are surface-level opinions because plots rely entirely on the writers' ability to tell a story (Steven Universe). But in the case of Star Wars you are totally correct, because Mary Sues aren't female empowerment since it skips conflict any other character would face; it's patronising.

Here's why the "It's for kids" argument is worse than one might think: it's a cheap dismissal of criticism made by people who don't want the piece of media they're a fan of to be judged negatively. It's not going to matter what the age gating or target demographic is if the work itself is garbage. If you want to argue that a kid's movie is bad because it's made for kids, then you can also argue that an X-rated movie is good because it's made for adults, even though X-rated movies are complete shit because of their promotion of pornography. Ultimately, making that whole argument not only dismissive, but also gross, filthy, and horrifying.

[@Izabellaindyk]

Here me out here cus i can pitch a better idea for Jörmungandr that fits in to the plot better that this bullshit. First of all Jörmungandr is like a blue whale, a huge sleeping dragon that is a filter feeder but instead of getting nutrients from its mouth it kind of absorbs nutrients through its skin like some amphibians can breath through there skin and uses the earths core as a big heat source to keep warm. Also this thing is huge like when animating it you only see body parts and the size of one of its teeth dwarf the snowtorcher The excess crystalises and grows on its scales as dragonsite which it sheds and in my headcannon dragonsite is a very nutrient dence material that enable the ecosystems of the realms to sustain itself, thats why its so important. Hiccup discovers Jörmungandr and seeing how it is peacefully sleeping and if it is disrupted could distroy the world with its movements alone, doesn't want to harm it so what he does is that he builds procautions to keep people out rather than keeping it in as to not wake it, leaving a message at the end of the book of dragons to warn people of it. This can be used to expain some of the shitty plotholes in this pincushion of a story. - the ravine, Jörmungandr could have shifted in its sleep causing an eathquake, opening up the hidden world - buzzsaw, he saw it the book of dragons and cus he doesn't know the runes goes on a hunt for to become the dragon kings by trying to slay it but by seeing how it is way too big and how it is harmless stops or something. He can also be the hint to finding the page. - nimary seeing the opportunity of gaining a better profit from mining and selling dragonsite rather than the dragons as a nutrient ritch fertizer that companies would be paying out of the nose for, could try to start mining it and so when she relises she can use Jörmungandr to exploit the animal she disturbes it creates a threat that the riders have to solve by stopping nemari by in time before she wakes Jörmungandr. In also to end the story the humans have to leave to prevent this from ever getting out again. Sorry for the long ass comment I just had to get this out of my head.
