How To Train Your Dragon 2 Reaction | First Time Watching

[@TERRELL_GASKINS]

Hiccups learned that not everyone has a place to change not everyone can move beyond there trauma and not everyone can be redeemed

[@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses]

not everyone as a place? What does that mean?

[@TERRELL_GASKINS]

@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses the mentality of Drago isn't the place for Berk he's too far gone to be shown the possibility of having Dragon's as more than just weapons

[@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses]

@@TERRELL_GASKINS The grammatical errors just made it really hard to decipher.

[@samuelvincent557]

And, of course, to change you have to want to change and see that you were wrong.

[@MineCraft-nz9pg]

​@@samuelvincent557 And from my experience , just wanting to change ,isn't gonna be enough ,cuz thats what a lot of bad ppl or addicts are ,ever wanting to change but not taking the small steps ,instead they expect an instant magical change (doesn't exist),which often makes them lose hope and give up. So my advice ,aim for progress not perfection. _😇_

[@ericjohnson6120]

The conflict of the first movie came from Stoick not listening to Hiccup about dragons and in this movie the conflict comes from Hiccup not listening to Stoick about Drago.

[@grantharriman284]

My favorite detail is right at the end, when Hiccup steals the black sheep, he doesn't put it in the basket with the Nightfury head painted on the lid. He puts it in Astrid's basket.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

☺️

[@GirlofCulture]

“They’ve killed hundreds of us!” “And we’ve killed thousands of them!” One of the most powerful scenes in animation. Same goes for Stoik finds Valka after 20 years... "You're as beautiful as the day I lost you."

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Agreed. That was such the perfect line to say to her then 😍

[@Caldera01]

That scene where Stoick meets up with Valka again is a cinematic masterpiece. They let Valka rant about the past and their relationship and what happened and everything and they let Stoick just be silent. And the first words he chooses as a reply to everything she said is just: "--You're as beautiful as the day I lost you." That scene legitimately gives me goosebumps.

[@franciscojaviermendezrinco1902]

That single line, which was the last Valka expected, is pure love. Stoic couldn't feel anything but love for her.

[@Rose-Badwolf]

As a bonus note its also the first time hiccup really gets to see his parents interact and it was lovely (This especially includes the song and dance)

[@RoxxSerm]

I love that scene so much. Her reaction makes absolute sense because she feels guilt towards her family. She almost needs to be yelled at and accused of things to feel justified for her own thoughts of guilt and being deserving of punishment. Stoick was a toughnut and narrow-minded as a man can be, and you'd expect him to act logically and rationally. But he's so in love and joy at that moment that he can't do anything else but what he did and said. Gosh it's so good.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

It was beautiful 😍 🤩

[@jamiesilver7401]

There are thousands of romance movies and books out there, but 99.9% of them don't have even close to the impact that one line has.

[@goldenaries0860]

One of my favorite dark facts about this movie: that weapon you see Drago holding? It's known as an Elephant hook - a real world tool used to "train" elephants. The curved portion is for raking across the skin, while the point is for prodding and stabbing. Circus leaders were common users of this weapon. Drago's Bewilderbeast was kidnapped as an egg and subjugated to his will. That hook he's holding is likely his primary means of control - as the dragon responds to it just as if it's his finger. That dragon is likely operating out of fear of abuse as opposed to care like Hiccup and Toothless. You can even see it look towards Drago for approval several times during the film. This also explain why Hiccup wasn't able to retrain it. This when applied to the other way he swings the weapon around, his animalistic screaming when it comes to subjugating the other dragons. Truly, an excellent character in terms of design and lore.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Dark fact indeed 😨 makes us dislike him even more which is what you want in your villain 😒😈

[@PestilentAllosaurus]

​@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Exactly!!! This! This. Right. Here. It's seems more and more rare to have villians truly just be truly bad or evil nowadays. To be dark without redemption or unapologetically cruel. _That's what makes them a villian!_ We're *supposed* to not like them! Lol It baffles me when people get upset for things villains do or say, as if it should be cut out. But that's the point and a learning lesson that it is bad!

[@twoolf01]

So happy that you guys are enjoying this movie series. Such an unexpectedly great series of movies that kinda came out of nowhere... Also, the fact that the dragons act like giant cats... adorable!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Haha agreed, very adorable. And we are more dog lovers than cats but the dragons are so damn cute 🥰

[@samuelvincent557]

In the final fight scene with the Alpha, the reason it barely fought back, in my opinion, against all the smaller ones was that it REALLY didn't want to fight and hurt it's kind. It was being forced to and it felt like it didn't have a choice. The controlled Alpha was just as much a victim as any of the other dragons under Drago. Moreso, actually.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Yeah we didn’t blame the alpha at all. It was said seeing it being used like that 😢

[@ryanakers1372]

I love how each movie in this trilogy is great on its own, but together the story is bigger and better than what any of them can tell on their own: HTTYD 1 - Figuring out who you are HTTYD 2 - Finding your place HTTYD 3 - You'll see when you watch it 😉

[@GirlofCulture]

HTTYD 3 It's like Kung Fu Panda 3 for me ... Not what i like to see.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Agreed that they do a good job of building upon each movie instead of Kia trying to copy the last one 🙂

[@GirlofCulture]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 What is Kia?

[@kingseb2252]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 This maybe late but you should definitely do the series there is httyd riders of berk and defenders of berk and race to the edge they take place after first movie before second movie they show amazing dragons and villains alot of hiccup and astrid and how they got engaged and audrie greywind did a interview on her channel with the writer of httyd the fire tides since it wasnt released the interview was going over the whole story so it's out there it has shirtless hiccup and explains what happened to drago after second movie

[@GirlofCulture]

What i really love about this movie.. it takes even the kids as the audience.. serious. Respecting their intellgence and emotion. One of the best sequels in animation history.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Not enough people do that with kids. They are way smarter than given credit for 😊

[@SMM5]

I love that scene where Toothless just flips out at the Bewilderbeast. “B**ch you made me kill my bro’s pops and get yelled at by my boi, tf out of here with yo bs”, I bet that’s what he said

[@WindierIndoors]

I am such a massive fan of Bethany's sweetly voiced hopes for violent death of bad guy.

[@jessc.994]

Agreed! It’s so great😂

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😂😁

[@axolover22]

A cool detail is at the start toothless was not trying to shoot hiccup he was making hot air currents so hiccup can fly longer

[@ericjohnson6120]

Stoick's death is the saddest death in a PG film since Mufasa, especially since we got a 1 3/4 movies and two cartoon series to know him.

[@flatstheflounder2884]

Especially after seeing him in the series and watching his relationship with Hiccup improve and all, that made it hurt so much more for sure

[@jdogx211]

16:01 gotta admit, that was far more poetic then i ever thought him capable of.

[@jessc.994]

Great reaction! This is such a great movie. I like to think that Drago drowned when the alpha dragon fled underwater. We didn’t see him die, but drowning seems like a good way for that villain to go.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

That works for us 😝

[@blackdragon227]

I love the song and dance scene, because at the start of it Stoik doesnt know if his approach eill be reciprocated after 20 years. If you pay attention, you can even see that he's about to turn away and accept her silence as a refusal. He never got to say goodbye when he lost her, but now that he knows she's happy and healthy he's willing to resume his life without her because he at least got to say goodbye this time.

[@insignia9325]

Have seen this movie since theater premier and watching with you guys I realized something. In the first movie, Toothless gets the upper hand over Stoick in the ring and goes to shoot but Hiccup yells him to stop and he does. That was a foreshadowing to this movie. That when he is in control, he can choose not to. And also when both Alpha's were fighting, the "good side" alpha loosing was the foreshadowing for Stoicks death.

[@fettel1988]

Back when this film dropped, every theater showing it was loaded with promos about how Dreamworks was debut'ing new tech in regards to it. Which is why the CG is so wildly evolved from the first movie.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😎👍🤩

[@goldendragon_rs2996]

The biggest indicator of the second bewilderbeasts past is with Drago’s weapon. It’s known as a Bullhook which is traditionally used to “train” baby elephants till they’re adults. People would beat the baby elephant and pull on the elephants tusks with this weapon and when the elephant grows up, the compounded trauma makes the elephants obey out of fear, even though they’re many times bigger than their abusers

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Hate that guy even more now 😡

[@Voxrar]

Ah it was cut out from your reaction but I really loved the line "You are as beautiful as the day I lost you." Been so long since I was touched like that from a movie.

[@МолчаливыйКлинок]

It is incredible how those movies grew up with the audience. As a kid I loved the first movie, because dragons. But the second one is when I myself started understanding the basics of storytelling, worldbuilding etc. Can`t wait for your reaction to the 3rd. P.S. the TV series is also pretty good, and I hope that after the movies you`ll react to the specials, they are amazing.

[@TheBatmanWhoReacts]

This film is a total emotional rollercoaster

[@barnyardchick4equestrian19]

“It’s not his fault. You know that.” That line broke my heart.

[@AutumnWoodham]

Funfacts Skullcrusher is not Stoick's first dragon. In the tv series, he first tames a thunderdrum he named Thornado. Drago's weapon is a bullhook, which based on its real world counterpart's use on elephants, implies Drago controls his Bewilderbeast through not only intimidating and dominance, but because he conditioned it from a young age with abuse and trauma to fear the bullhook and obey its wielder.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Thanks for sharing those facts 🙂

[@giuseppe9653]

My favorite detail of this movie is quite dark, as weapon Drago uses, is commonly used by elephant "trainers" to break the animal's will before shows and stuff, reflecting how Drago tortured his Bewilderbeast from birth

[@smpandlox]

Glad you guys reacted to these movies. Definitely top 5 series for me

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

😎🤟🤩

[@samuelvincent557]

A rare time where the sequel is as good, if not better, than the original. The speech that Hiccup gives about his Father about being afraid of becoming him hit me REALLY hard. It's, genuinely, how I feel about my Father. He is the example of honesty, integrity and strength that I use as my model. I'm not saying he is perfect. But if I can become half the man he is, I will consider my life a success. And that scene drove home hard that someday, hopefully not soon, I will have to talk about him in the past tense. The ten minutes of this film, from where he is serenading his wife to how many times he risks, then sacrifices his life to save Valka and Hiccup shows more of how brave and selfless a man he really was. No hesitation at all. He gave everything to protect his family.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

That’s wonderful that you have that type of relationship with your father. 😊☺️ They really did give the father a great send off in this even if it was incredibly heartbreaking 💔

[@dlpheonix]

There was a series with all the same characters and the movies pick up between the seasons. Its why theres so much change and time passage between the movies and why the movies are so well crafted since its not in a vacuum. The production teams did an amazing job planning all the things out ahead.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Agreed. Very well done 🤩

[@GirlofCulture]

Bethany was talking about bad disney sequels and there are a ton of them... But i know a few which are really good. - 'The Rescuers Down Under' (1990) ✅✅ - 'Leroy & Stitch' (2006) ✅ And.. believe it or not.. (for the people in the community who knows me a little bit more, usually i don't like classic disney princesses) But here we go. 'Cinderella III: A Twist in Time' (2007) ✅✅✅ While the third of the Cinderella series might lack the original’s striking animation, it makes up for it with the most creative story of the three movies. To undo Cinderella’s happily ever after, wicked stepmother Lady Tremaine has stolen the Fairy Godmother’s wand and has used it to turn back time, so her daughter’s foot fits in the glass slipper. .. So Cinderella has to go back..slip in her old shoes sort of speak..starting as a low class maid in the palace to earn that love she wants.

[@MasianYoutube]

“You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you” - goddamn almost teared up

Loved your reaction. So happy that you guys watched Httyd2. It's one of my favorite franchises and I was sad when they made the final movie. I'm happy to see you guys enjoy it as much as I did.

Really enjoyed the franchise. Reaction for third movie is coming next Friday 🥳🤩

I'll say this much, about Stoick's arc. After watching the first movie, then the series upto 2, losing him _hurt._ Even as a viewer.

[@tarnished6477]

i swear ur reaction edits are getting better and better for both channels

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Happy to hear it! We have been outsourcing our edits for the movie and tv show reactions so that could be a reason 🙂🤗

[@ZaberFangAT]

These movies are based on a quite highly-regarded book series, so the building blocks were there for sequel material from the start. It's fortunately not like a lot of sequels, where they're just jumping on a successful but narratively complete one-off movie.

[@TwoSevenX]

Knowing they had a certified hit on their hands, DW went all in one this one. The largest glow up is in fact, not the shiny new render farm, but the writing. There's some gags and gaffs, but even the kids' part of this story is pretty deep stuff and laying exactly how the consequences of both your actions and your /intentions/ is very very deftly handled. If you enjoyed this one, you will definitely like the series.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2]

Well said 🙂

[@brakdoes8914]

The show defenders of berk took place in between 1 and 2 race towards the edge takes place after 2

[@rhinoxsaurus3560]

Race to the edge takes place before HTTYD2 because Stoick is still alive

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

Great reaction. I think what makes all three of these movies so good, is the fact that they, as far as I know, were planned as a trilogy from the beginning. I think one of the funniest moments is at 6:55 when they draw their weapons, and Toothless gets a jumpscare 😆And I have seen this movie a few times now, but I don't think I've ever noticed that scene where Toothless gets that giant icicle stuck to his tounge.

[@qadi796]

Genuinely one of the only trilogys that actually gets bettwr and bigger and better and has a complete story, this trilogy was my entire childhood and of course the tv shows and other stuff they did, loved every second of it, im a bit skeptical of the live action because i dont know what there gonna tell but we will see i guess, other than that thank you for reacting to this❤😂

[@brakdoes8914]

I love the symbolism of the dragon leaders and chiefs fighting in the stoic vs drago

[@Custodian_of_the_Emperor]

You should watch the series Dragons: Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge, they dive deeper into what happened on that 5 year gap between the first film and this. They expand on Hiccup and Astrid's relationship, Hiccup and his dad, as well as flesh out the rest of the gang, and how Berk adapted to living with dragons. You should also watch the Gift of the Night Fury holiday special because the events of that are referenced in the next film.

[@venomousteam1732]

HTTYD 2 is actually one of my favorite movies

[@frontgamet.v1892]

I loved that franchise and I still love it! Especially the second movie gets me everytime. The most awesome thing is that a ENTIRE series plays between the first and second movie.. In that series we learn so so much about all the dragons.. How many different dragons there are and just exploring this world.. Also meeting the best villian in my opinion VIGGO. Riders of Berg Truly amazing. Still love the conclusion of everything.

I hate that hiccup's dad dies but i understand why he had to die. They wanted hiccup to take over as chief and that's why DreamWorks let him die. Unfortunate but understandable I also love the Hiccup And Astrid romance in this movie. Such a great couple!
