[@fionarodgers4806]

They should have just gone with the Purple Death. Not only is this dragon Massive, but the vikings actually thought tht it was the "Serpent of Midgard" aka Jormengandr. I was also implied that this dragon can survive in a state of hibernation for hundreds of years.

[@madrat8060]

@@fionarodgers4806 That too, and they would've shown a dragon that wasn't in any of the movies or TV shows. We know they're not above reusing dragons from the original series and given that they made an entirely new dragon model, they could've made a 3D Purple Death model.

[@blue-vr8dd]

yea that thing was a huge disappointment. didn't even need a real design change, just be bigger. I'm not saying the design is great, it looks pretty bland imo. but if it was at least WAY bigger I'd have seen why every other dragon thought it was a threat. why Hiccup thought it was a threat. the Red Death and the Bewilderbeast is bigger than that thing. its not even that long either. it just looks like a Screaming Death rival. the idea of it just grabbing the Sky Torcher and killing it immediately is awesome, but it's just overshadowed by how much of a let down the size is.

1:05:26 Actually the closest thing he did to that was what he did to the Skrill, *BUT EVEN THEN* HICCUP REALIZES IT WAS WRONG AND REFUSED TO FREEZE THE SKRILL IN THE ICE FOR THE SECOND TIME PLUS HE KNEW THE SKRILL WOULDN'T DIE "If we do this, we are no better than the dragon hunters...

​​​​@@noctisastrum7495 well, it's a species, so they are probably hanging out somewhere Also I hate the fact they made them enemies... Like, the Skrill in the series only wanted to go after toothless and hiccup out of honestly understandable revenge for freezing it in the ice. That and the rivalry ended after that, you can see in Triple Cross Toothless and the Skrill getting along just fine HHH But hey, maybe I'm just salty because I actually love the fact Skills are probably the only dragon in the original series that didn't make Toothless look overpowered as hell 😔

They do have balance same with Hiccup and Astrid... I don't actually think Snotlout or Tuffnut ended up with anyone 😔.

Well, Hiccup tried to imprison the Skrill, before changing his mind last second. He actually imprisoned a Deathsong. So to say he never thought of locking up a dragon for the greater good is just not true. BUT I still agree with everything said in the video. After all Hiccup did not freeze the Skrill again and the Deathsong was just trapped in a cave and got out again later.

[@gamerboy3223]

I was just about to say he did something like this before with the skrill and just left it today but when it became free and got out again when he was older he realized it would have been cruel so why would he repeat that mistake when he’s about 30 and a father at the end of httyd you know the hood one that wasn’t by sh*t stains.

Its not only that Jun is a terribly written, selfish character. She shows clear signs of a narcassistic and likely also a sociopathic personality disorder.

Also she teamed up with evillady, while evillady was doing evil stuff and every one of Juns friends was telling her, that evillady was evil. That is the deuteragonist ...

You know what's ironic, Jormungander actually appeared before the 2nd movie. For those who don't know this Dragon is called the Purple Death and appeared in the httyd comics. It's basicly a Red Death with more serpentine features and get this IT'S A HOLE LOT BIGGER THAN THE RED DEATH OR A BEWILDERBEAST!!!! This thing almost destroyed all of berk with it's size alone and it's fire is gigantic. It's even in the comic they even refer to it as Jormungander. You know what THAT'S FUCK IT!! For my final writing and character design in university I am gonna rewrite and redesign this whole show. Both characters and dragons are getting redesigned and the while plot rewriten. Honestly you and Audrey bruoth up some good notes to fix the show, I really didn't want this show to be bad, I had hoped for this show despite the bad character designs, I genuenly wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt, I wanted it to be good. I though it would be a rottmnt situation but unfortunately that was not the case. Aside from Alex being a Queen this show just gives the middle digit to every of fan of the franchise. I've watched httyd sence I was 7 years old and seeing it bastardized like this just hurts me. It's not just my childhood and everyone's frying disrespected but the work of dedicated writers and character designers, people I aspire to be some day and I hate seeing it getting disrespected only for corporate greed and gaslighting towards fans.

[@gachatubers7156]

@jankeek8218 Not really the screaming death can grow quite big yes, but not enough to dwarf the Purple or red death and certainly not the Bewilderbeast. Also joemungander is a giant snake but it's mostly depicted as a sea serpent so it's kind of a yes and no there.

As sad as that maybe for Hiccup the only anwser here is to kill it just like with Red Death. (That is assuming it really is as dangerous as the show tries to hype it up, I for one can't see how it would kill a Red Death, Bewilderbeast or a Screaming Death.)

@@drewluczynski9609 also honestly I have no idea what their plan was with this one, since even if it is as dangerous as they say, Apex Predators don't just kill off all of their food supply.

(It would drive itself and all the dragons to extinction with how it is described)

[@fionarodgers4806]

@@jankieek8218 Yeah, the term "Apex Predator" just means that no animal naturally eats them. Which I still believe the Red Death could easily eat this thing, but you get my point. Also, there is a dragon they could have used where this would actually be believable. It's called the Purple Death. This dragon appeared in the comic "The Legend of Ragnarok" and not only is this serpentine dragon massive, but the Berkians actually thought that it was the "Serpent of Midgard" aka, Jormungandr. And, even its presence can disturb other dragons. Also, it was implied that this dragon can survive in a hibernative state for hundreds of years. In the comic, Hiccup used a Changewing it to hypnotize to sleep for "several thousand years or so." The Purple Death then fell back into the ocean. So they could have it encaged by the land itself, after all the years of erosion, instead of by Hiccup. And this would also give them an opportunity to use a dragon the other shows and movies didn't. They could literally just take the model from the game Dragons: Rise of Berk, and my entire rant could have been avoided.

[@Kamawara]

I think if they wanted Jormungandr to be related to dragon's fear of eels... what the writers should have made the world serpent is a colossal ancient eel that Hiccup found that was known to hunt and kill dragons. Maybe add some details like it takes attributes of all the dragons it eats or something, silly but better than what we're getting. Maybe make it that the only known predator for this eel was one dragon species (maybe a reference to Nithhogg, who in Norse myths is from Helheim) but the species is nearly extinct and Hiccup found the last egg of the species , and the egg was yet to hatch and would not hatch for hundreds of years. Hiccup knowing this little unhatched dragon would need to be kept safe from Jormungandr very relucantly sealed the colossal eel in its own domain deep in the depths so he could save this one yet born Nithhogg. This could lead our group of abyssmal so called riders to find the now hatched dragon to try to stop this slimy aquatic terror now they've freed like morons. I dunno, maybe the Nithhogg was somewhat aware even in the egg and recognizes a similar scent from Thunder and Tom to Toothless and Hiccup?

I wrote somewhere in another video about how Tom and Jun's episode was more similar to Mi Amore Wing in RTTE due to the 'misunderstanding' in the episodes. Astrid was publicly friend zoned by her own boyfriend and unnoticed by him for a whole day (which was actually a habit from Hiccup) and yet she handled her anger and communicated 10x more maturely than Jun did to Tom (and Astrid is supposed to be violent and short-tempered). She did not mock him or insult Hiccup when she could have and even abandoned her grudges when Hiccup needed help. And even after that, she apologized first and admitted she was overreacting. If Astrid, who handled things way better than Jun, thought she overreacted, then what can we say about Jun? I never really saw the reason for the hatred of Jun but now I see it clearly.

This leads to the question of whether or not it’s just going to be a rehash of RTTE’s Vanaheim. Other than that, this was a fantastic review and sorry this season in particular was such a pain.

Add that to the fact that all air nomads were air benders and the children were raised in groups by monks and expecting Aang to be a good father by other standards is a fool's errand add his trauma of being THE LAST AIRBENDER and he is going to be biased toward his airbender who was also the only company that would make him feel like he is "home." Though that works only if you consider all the factors that are spread through the world building.

[@Blender.bunker]

1:04:54 he did actually capture and trapped the scrill in riders of berk for multiple years under ice and then nearly did so again after it escaped in race to the edge,but he didn’t do it again and learnt his lesson so this episode discredits a character ark that transcended two shows

[@ashwingfantasy030]

That dragon uses its glass pillars to see even though we can’t see Maybe it sees the same way daredevil does sounds help highlight everything around

[@ines0499]

The problem is that the dragon see perfectly, so why using the crystals?

[@draconicdemigod9696]

I don't care how dangerous Jourmangander is, Hiccup would've never locked it up without any form to get an endless supply of food and water just so it can SLOWLY STARVE TO DEATH!!! No seriously Hiccup killing it in self defense because it most likely it will be a threat will be more in character ito Hiccup. He could've just sealed it in Hellheim or certain sector of the biome so it would still be free to do what it want and not just hurt other dragons. You know what this wasn't Hiccup I actually think this was either an imposter who wanted to smear Hiccup's name either that or one of Hiccup's dumbass kids or descendants. Because this isn't Hiccup I won't believe it.

[@sarahzahira7432]

I really agree to that

[@fantasytales1972]

I would like to say, if this show had designed dragons based on beasts and creatures from Norse mythology,or just mythology in general. Then I could ignore how bad the show has been. Just another cool observation we will never see

I guess an easy fix could be to make it so that one of hiccups kids locked the dragon away?

[@leothorson4654]

That what I thought because it just sense if it was zephyr that trapped the dragon,since she was good at making traps but this show would make that even worse then hiccup trapping the dragon for some stupid reason

[@TiredMoonRabbit]

@@leothorson4654 I think it be cool if the story went that hiccups dieing request was for his kid to reunite mankind with dragons but after finding that dragon they just couldn't find any good in it so they locked it away, hiding the clues hiccups left behind but destiny or something like that lead to them still being found. They won't do that but if they were smart they would, maybe if this series ends vague enough someone else can bend this story into something more appealing something more sound.

That “flashback” scene was hilarious, but you forgot to include one extra bit: Hiccup jolting awake in bed and realizing the whole show was just a dream.

[@JWeb66]

A way they could've fixed the Jormungandr/Hiccup situation could be if Hiccup discovered that Jormungander, WS for World Serpent, was causing chaos for Toothless in the Hidden World so he and the Riders created the cage as a way to contain it until they could domesticate the WS. But during the caging either Hiccup and or Toothless gets killed, as a result the others leave the WS to rot as payback fo the loss of their friend(s).

[@shark6228]

1:11:32 Wow good job Tom you got this innocent dragon killed

[@hamishstewart5324]

I have an idea for how to possibly fix Jormundandr, but its kind of a weird one. I honestly think that Jormungandr would’ve been more interesting/intimidating if, not only was it as big as the bewilderbeast if not bigger, but it wasn’t actually a dragon at all. It could be a completely different type of reptile from the deepest reaches of the hidden world, deeper than any dragon has been known to live that escaped due to seismic activity. Hiccup could’ve tried to train it, but because it isn’t a dragon, it doesn’t respond to any of the tricks he uses to train them, so he has to lure it back to its original habitat and seal it off so that the species wouldn’t breach into the dragon’s habitat. Perhaps it’s so massive because it preys on creatures even larger and more intimidating than most dragons, so if it were to surface to higher levels of the hidden world outside of its natural ecosystem, it would essentially become the world’s most destructive invasive species.

[@thinkwithvideos2238]

Who's your friend? I am very interested on how much of a better series they make than THIS.

[@AnansiArchives6045]

No. It doesn't ruin Hiccup. Because nothing this goddamn DISASTER of a show or anyone working on it says or does will ever, EVER tarnish him, because him, Toothless, Astrid, and everything else from the original series are far beyond what the hell this was. You could believe in the previous shows or the movies, even if it was flimsy at best, that Huccup would have a good reason to lock up The Yormungunder wannabe. I don't expect the Nine Realms to even get half way. So no, it doesn't ruin Hiccup, because this show never, and I mean NEVER ONCE, gave half a rats ass about him, his dragon, his friends, or his legacy beyond nostalgia points they've burnt up ages ago. They made this the fuck up, probably knowing it's out of character for him, but did it anyway for THEIR narrative. We all know Hiccup would never do this, to a dragon or person, no matter how dangerous, no matter how harmful, not without a damn. Good. Reason. And we know the nine realm won't even be bothered

[@barryparker9341]

Exactly! As a fan of both Harry Potter and How to Train Your Dragon, I have been insulted by both of these spin-offs and they give off identical energy to me.

[@Broken_Everlark7]

Honestly, you are making that whole plot with Alex actually secretly liking Tom, and that's the reason why she went evil is because now everyone forgets about her and only comes to her if they need something. Honestly, that'd be amazing. But of course they don't do that.

[@BlazingKhioneus]

So, as pitiful as this show is, I found myself unironically invested during the fallout arc. I loved the idea of eugene finally acting in the hot air he's been spewing the whole time and trying to form his own team if dragon riders. I loved the betrayal arc and they somehow convinced me that Alex really would become Buzzsaw's friend. Finally, the descent into helhiem and D'Angelo's outburst was insanely satisfying and finally setting the plot into the end game. I loved them being separated because it meant less tom and jun screentime and finally a chance to shake up the dynamics. I may have been more in love with the idea of the fallout arc than the actual execution, but I will not lie my friend and I sat on the edge of our seats in the final episode.

It sucks having two of some of my favorite products in the world of animation getting treated like bs right now. My favorite show, (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) being ruined by the new generation of the franchise, and one of my favorite movies ever (HTTYD) being ruined by The Nine Realms the same way. In terms of marketing and financial success, I get it. But is that all gonna matter ten years from now?

For reaaaalll! The new generation for MLP is so bad. Good thing there's 9 seasons of old MLP to rewatch as a palate cleanser and forget about that disaster.

The thing I hated the most about this season this season is that the kids were trying to track down Buzzsaw to get the Book of Dragons back. They knew exactly where he lived. The kids had more dragons that were better trained, what was stopping them from storming in, incapacitating the two henchmen, and stealing the book back?

I think Buzzsaw wants to capture dragons so he might be using crossbows to make sure that he doesn't kill them or damage them too much so that he can sell his hunt. Though he could get tranquilizer guns. Another thought is how Buzzsaw might be stripped for cash, too.

The Nine Realms in Norse mythology aren't actually nine tho. It's completely inconsistent, and there's probably like 20 or a hundred depending on who you ask. "Nine" is just a cool religious number for Norse people, like Three for Christians, Seven for Westerosi, etc

[@nicholasrodinos4701]

21:45 I'm starting to think the more desperately a writer wants to ship 2 characters, the worse it gets for all characters in that story. Miraculous and how Thomas Astruc screams "MARINETTE AND ADRIEN ARE ENDGAME!" at you for every episode. Star Vs falling apart because of Starco nonsense.

I love how they bring up the actual 9 realms and then only (incorrectly) name ONE of them. Have the group all be talking about this stuff, each figuring out connections between them and doing research on them together! Jun with a mythology book, Alex on the computer, Tom translating the book of dragons and looking for information in there, D’Angelo on his phone googling or asking the adults if they know about it etc And have them ascribe names to the realms for kids who don’t know the mythology so they can use and understand it in fandom spaces if they want to! Because having them all interact and learn together with the audience is the SANE thing to do!

1:05:00 Jormungandr was described as the apex predator of all dragons. If he didn't take care of it, all other dragons in the hidden world would be in danger.

Cool tell me how does it eat a screaming death ? Or a Red/Green Death ? Or hell even if it is that dangerous why not kill it instead of letting it slowly die of thirst/starvation (what realistically should have happen) or even better if it really can't die of those things then killing it is still a better option instead of locking it there forever.

[@user-jo9ld3jq6s]

Your right on the June part. She is pretty toxic and she really got mad at her friends of trying to prove Slendkin was evil because she acted like she understanded her. I mean dude, your family is the one you could trust. Not only that but Tom defended Alex form June because all June did was made her feel worse at the dragon zombie episode.

[@theeeveelutionist7245]

The fact that all the realms are like all connected within ten miles in a random place in Scandinavia is so stupid. It’s so easily fixable, JUST USE THE WORLD TREE, I MEAN IT WOULD MAKE PERFECT SENSE!

[@papaekowgyedziacquah1012]

Also About Jormungandr, it's also called the "world serpent" . This is because it's body is literally the circumference of the earth itself. When you play a game like brawhalla, the legend "Loki" uses jormungandr in some of his signature attacks. And whenever he does jormungandr cant fully show it's body,which is a cool detail because it's literally the length of the earth itself. It's just too long. In the future, I hope I can make videos talking about pieces of media that I've watched and give my feeling's on them just like you Raisorblade. Yeesh,this show. If I'll waste internet on garbage, I'll waste it on GOOD garbage.

I've never watched this show, but after hearing all the insane routes they went with it, I'm keeping it that way. The fact that they made Hiccup imprison a dragon like that is just terrible.

Also, any sequel/spinoff/reboot that trashes fans of the source material and/or justified criticisms deserves all the thrashing it gets.

[@mycontentcreation5264]

Well I mean the troll dragon thing does have pointing ears and not much hair. But why did they say big trolls and not dwarfs? I mean isn’t the dwarfs form middle earth (for a example and thats the type everyone thinks of) are inspired by Norse mythology? So it’s not that hard to come up with dwarfs who live in mountains and are miners. Unless I’m mistaken norse dwarfs don’t live in mountains. I’m not a expert in Norse myth the only knowledge I have is form TedEd. And a bit form GOW.
