[@MircallaDuNord]

Fun Fact, Joe; as a Scot myself, I feel compelled to mention that the Vikings invaded and colonised the north of Scotland extensively in the 9th-11th centuries, so maybe some of them did sound Scottish?

[@AzathothNyxkind]

The Orkneys were Pictish, "viking" colonisation made them Norwegian, later they were gifted the to the Scottish Crown. Prior to that vikings of the Orkneys took control of the Hebrides from the Irish/Gaels. So far as I know only the western peninsulas of the western mainland around the Isle of Arran were colonised by vikings.

[@sofiatypes8977]

Danish Vikings settled on the British Isles, but I feel compelled to stress that they didn't colonize. Rather, they "moved in" and started living among the people that already lived there. We can see traces of this in the English language, where many everyday words are loanwords from Old Norse (the Germanic language that the Vikings spoke, from which Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Faroese, and Icelandic is developed). Some examples (though there are many) are the words "sister", which comes from Old Norse "syster" and "are" which comes from "är". This indicates that the Vikings had equal status, and didn't have political control over the British/Scottish in the same way that, for example, the French later had. However, I do agree that the Vikings were probably influenced by the English language in the same way, so I don't think it's that big of a leap to have them sound Scottish.

[@MircallaDuNord]

@@sofiatypes8977 I used 'colonized' rather euphemistically here to simplify my point, and I'll happily concede that you clearly have more knowledge in certain areas of this than I do; what I'd picked up was just from light research and journeying around the Scottish countryside and seeing the linger remnants of the Norse Settlers. (side note; I'm delighted that a conversation that's actually intelligent and insightful has appeared in a YT comment section.)

As a long time swedish fan, I gotta say I'm offended. ...that you didn't do more of the swedish accents, that shit was so funny! Love that swedish stereotype!

[@nickdisney3233]

My theory is Dreamworks thought that this was going to be the standard Dreamworks film (the first film was made in, I think, 2 years because they scrapped the initial idea they were working on) and hired the big names. However, once they got a legit good story from the Disney veterens they hired, the contracts with the big names were probably already signed so that's how we got well-known actors in small roles.

[@daniealex]

I was CRYING laughing at the Swedish accents. I love how loose and goofy this episode was. Love yall!

[@podemosurss8316]

6:42 To be fair, it is justifiable: 1. The Spartans (or better said Laconians) had a hard accent when speaking ancient Greek compared to the Athenians (or better said Thesalians), and as well as fierce warriors (with a bit of bromance in their barracks too), they were fierce when speaking. One could say that Laconian Greek was to Greek what Scottish English is to English. 2. The English language was very influenced by the Norse language, and so was the Scottish language, so it's fair. Also, the Vikings (in adition to speaking Norse) were fierce and tough, so having a rough accent fits.

[@jbearclowater]

I love the Swedish accent idea, HTTYD becomes a much better movie then.

[@ZookieFyre]

I think the reason that some of the side characters have such popular voice actors is that originally the HTTYD movie was going to be much more similar to the book series, where Snotlout (Jonah Hill) and Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) have a much more important role. They kind of last-minute rewrote the first movie to be what we have today.

Thanks for the Honest Trailer (or Trailers I should say) for How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2. I really you hope you guys are gonna enjoy How to Train Your Dragon 3. I've watched it a month ago, and I can say I really enjoyed the third one. It's a compilation of what you love about the previous two movies: sick action, sweeping visuals and more heartfelt boy and dog-esque human and dragon relationship between Hiccup and Toothless. I agree though with your notion that Hiccup's sidekicks (Jonah Hill & co.) were given nothing to do. All I can say, they gave Jonah Hill's character Snotlout something to do in the third one, and without spoiling anything, it kind of reminded me of American Pie. Can't wait for your Oscars Honest Trailer.

There is a lot of dragon training in the franchise. They're just not in the movies, they're in the tv series (worth a watch).

[@Phaota]

I love this series as well. That Swedish Chef portion had me laughing so much. As for side character development, that was done way more in the TV series since the movies really didn't have a lot of time to help that element out. I don't understand why Kristen Wig was hired to do the voice of Tuffnet instead of Andree Vermeulen, who has been doing the character for a long while now in the TV series. Caught me by surprise when I saw who she was since I loved her monotone crazy character on the "Angie Tribeca" TV series. I guess since she did the character in the first two films, they decided to get her back. Oh well, she doesn't Tuffnut justice, though I've grown to like Andree.

[@sofiatypes8977]

The Swedish title of the movies is "Draktränaren" which translates to "The Dragon Trainer", which I guess is a little more accurate, at least to the second film. Also, most Scandinavians are great English speakers, and we don't have that much of an accent at all... Or rather, we speak with American or British accents - or a mix of both. Also, not offended, just happy to be mentioned :)

Honestly I think the other warriors were more than fine. They had one character trait that they used for jokes and didn't steal away screen time from the more developed main cast of Hiccup, Astrid, Toothless and Stoic, but still made the village feel bigger and more alive. Plus the way the dragons they end up with compliment that one character trait they have I thought was a nice touch and in line with the themes of the film. Also they did use them well in the third one I think, Kristen Wig was hysterical in that scene when she's imprisoned.

I was so furious with that one. I don't remember much from the movie itself since I never saw it again after it was in theaters. And to add insult to injury that was my favorite book of the Chronicles. I remember being so sad when they decided not to continue making them.
