"Never try to improve on perfection" - Megatron

[@quantinia6514]

Adapting and trying to improve something are two very different things

[@Mystical_Guardian]

Their not improving it, their adapting it into a real life action movie, the difference between adaption and improving are two different things

[@serpentinious7745]

@Mystical_Guardian "never try to improve on perfection" is a quote by Megatron in the game "Fall of Cybertron," in which Megatron was chastising Soundwave for making "improvements" when putting him back together.

The whole reason why the franchise ended was because they wanted to end it on a high note. Ending it where people still want more, leaving them with a continued love for the franchise before we get tired of it if they were to make too many movies. Now they’re bringing it back, but without the things we loved about the original movies

@@mannafataftah4189 How is it not?! No, they just made up a situation to force the berkians to abbadon dragons and added a dull dragon hunter to act as a last foil who adds really nothing.

The first 2 stories were about giant dragons. The last one is meant to show what hiccup would have become if he killed toothless.

[@christopherparkin7162]

Since no one else is saying it I will. Hiccups animations are beased on Jay Baruchel's mannerisms as he was doing the voice over. Any Hiccup without Baruchel wont feel like Hiccup Haddoc

[@daniellecolucci3470]

OMG I was thinking this!! Baruchel would make the PERFECT Hiccup 😭. Idk why they didn’t work their Hollywood magic and make that happen. When I found out it was Jay that voiced Hiccup, it made the animation that much more special to me as a child because of how similar he was to the animation. Sad

[@maisaparviainen3357]

Why does everything have to be turned into live action

[@zibusisonkomo8715]

Exactly my thoughts. Sounds like a cash grab and those generally look at the potential money and completely forget why the original worked in the first place. Secondly live actions ALMOST always are worse than their original material. Even the great ones that may be enjoyable cannot portray in a real life actor something that an animation can just do easily

[@Kimberly-n4v]

​@@zibusisonkomo8715And because people forgot how to have a child like heart.

I think it's because people have been so down on how Disney's been doing on their own content that people forget that there are OTHER movie companies out there.
