I've also personally have had a neglectful parent. So, I can say that the average human being does not forgive a dead-beat parent that easily for choosing to be selfish over raising their child they had and left behind, who needed them the most. Especially after 20+ years. If anything, the father should have been very indifferent and honestly confused how to talk to the grandfather. Because he wasn't there and has had twenty plus years to get over the pain and heart break the grandfather left behind. if anything, HTTYD 2 did this kind of situation better when it came to Hiccup finding his mother again after believing her to be dead all his life and that she chose to stay with dragons. But there is a lot of differences between Hiccup's mother and Clay. Such as She isn't at all terrible and Clay doesn't hold a candle to her. It's a very thin stretch to even be comparing the two. This is just the closest comparison. I could think of how to write the emotions of a character in a scene and setting of re-meeting a parent who wasn't there for you for so long and how it feels... It's a very complicated feeling there is a lot of messy uncertainty, awkwardness and confusion of not knowing how to deal with them, when talking to them after not having them in your life. I was left feeling angry that the father forgave the grandfather just like that. Especially after hearing the beyond pathetic excuse and reason why he was gone. It was really terrible how they handled it.

Honestly, I feel like a lot of the movie’s problems could be fixed with the addition of an actual villain, not just the pando. Maybe it could be that, instead of just going down into the strange world and staying there just because, Jaeger Clade went down with a partner who, upon discovering pando, backstabbed Jaeger and left him to die down there and stole his only means of escape. Then, upon returning to the surface, the guy pulls some sob story about how Jaeger gave his life for him down there and helped to discover pando, then taking advantage of it like how we see in the movie. Then years later, when Searcher is an adult and farms pando, there’s the same part in the movie about the pando shortage, alongside frequent, violent earthquakes, which causes both the president and the villain, who’s not known to be a villain just yet, to head down there to not only save their energy source, but also figure out the cause of the earthquakes. Once down in the strange world, an earthquake separates everyone and Searcher eventually finds his father towards the end, who reveals that the villain is the one that trapped him down there. Jaeger then shows the family the heart and they learn that Avalonia is a giant creature and not a continent, with the earthquakes being the result of pando killing it. They then rush back to tell the president, but when the villain finds out, he tries to kill them in order to keep exploiting the pando regardless of how much harm its doing the giant turtle. Yeah, I know it would be another twist villain, but I honestly think it could work well with the story.

The problem is that representation has become bad. It's been so forced, so ham-fisted, so blunt, and so obnoxious that even if it is well-intentioned, it's enough to ruin the experience for most people. And that is why Disney should stop attempting to represent groups they can't handle. They're not subtle. It's like having a black Black ranger and a yellow Asian ranger, like in the first season (or so) of Power Rangers. Well-meaning, but really not being very effective at it.

[@jeremyusreevu237]

Exactly. A lot of people still think it's the 60s, and that minorities don't have enough representation. But it's not. Representation has made leaps and bounds ahead since then. We've had a ton of media properties representing every kind of minority under the sun. But people like Disney are still banking on the percentage of the population that thinks nothing has evolved since the 60s, and that showing a gay person, or a black person, or a woman, is a suitable representation. It's not. The reason Luz and Amity are great representation isn't that they're bi and lesbian respectively. It's because they're both interesting, likable, and enjoyable characters, that just HAPPEN to be bi and gay. Meanwhile, with Ethan, I didn't even know he was gay at first. Because it factored into nothing. It's just a marketing stunt where it's like "Oh, this character is gay. It has nothing to do with the story, but he's gay. Money please". And I'm sick of people acting like that's good representation, because "Well, they're showing a gay person, so who cares if they're just doing it because of money." STOP DEFENDING LAZY COMPANIES.

I personally thought this movie was decent, but I understand your issues with it. Ethan's character arc was one of the strongest points for me since I like how they explored his struggles in finding his own path in life, as well as using his interest in environmental science to reveal that big twist. I also thought said twist worked okay in finding common ground between him, his dad and his grandfather. And while there were some pacing issues in the beginning, I thought the journey through the titular strange world was still interesting, especially for its color palette, bizarre creature designs, and that big reveal. That said, I also found the non-Clade explorers to be forgettable, the humor was mostly dull, and there could've been more time showcasing Searcher's rise in success. And while I liked the overall animation, I agree that it would've been awesome if they used that comic filter aesthetic throughout the movie. I'm getting tired of the usual semi-realistic CGI textures and would love to see more 2D visuals. Speaking of which, Disney's next animated film "Wish" is said to include some 2D elements in it, though it might be similar to how the "Paperman" short was done (2D drawings on top of CGI animation). And while I doubt you'd be interested in "Disenchanted," that film had a few hand-drawn animated scenes, so at least there's some 2D in a recent Disney film.

This is what happens when you try to rush a movie especially tapping Don and Qui right after their work on Raya and the last Dragon. If they had time to delay the release for another 4 to 5 years like most animated projects behind the scenes, we could have gotten a much better version than what we have now as a first draft. I know Don can do better, this is the man who's head of story on meet the Robinsons to princess and the frog and this is what we get, a rush movie who's sole purpose is to be another mars needs moms. I kinda wish this film got released years later than now

I just want to point out how terrible the character designs are in this film. None of the characters have something that helps them stand out, and instead they look like they could come from any animation company, like Sony. In old Disney films the character designs had purpose and fun stylistic choices, such as in Aladdin, where all the principle characters were based on different shapes. The muted colours on all the characters and a lack of any distinct outfit or accessory makes them so bland and like they blend in with the background.

See, I saw this coming from the very first trailer. I’m an artist, and a huge Disney and Pixar nerd who’s been studying their films for about as long as I could talk, and the first major red flag to me was the design of the world. It has no other identity other than: blob. Colourful. Weird. Oooooh. Designs like these just lazy and bland and it doesn’t make me want to know more, it makes me want to go watch something else. Like, Lilo and Stitch, or Treasure Planet, or Atlantis, or Tarzan, or basically anything else, because anything else is almost guaranteed to have a world that is more fleshed out and interesting and actually based off a real idea, and not just the word “strange.”

[@kingagrabowska9366]

It's worse than a bad movie. At least you can laugh at a bad or stupid movie, a so-called guilty pleasure. But this movie is just such a bore. I saw quite a lot of trailers and every single one of them didn't grab me. - Generic lines that can be from any adventure movie ever. ''I've never seen anything like it!'' ''Didn't see that coming!'' ''We are way over our heads.'' - The ''so random'' humor is just stale and overused. - Character A says something hopeful, inspiring, or reassuring. Character B asks ''Really?'' and character A answers ''No.'' - Somebody dying is treated as a joke, so now I don't care whether anybody leaves or dies, and any scene trying to do an emotional fake or real death scene will be hollow. Even though the animation is great the design of the characters, creatures, and the world are just so boring and lack any detail. These creatures are just blobs and simple shapes. It would've looked better in 2D. Also, the environmental message this movie presents is suicidal. Let's stop using our only energy source which our whole economy is based on (or a huge chunk of it is) without any alternatives in sight. It was written by an idiot before the inflation.

What are his personality, quirks, what makes him interesting (besides his sexuality), how is the world? What's the plot? What arcs does he undergo? What challenges does he overcome? After watching this review, I see it is just as predictable and poorly done as I suspected. Whenever a piece of media uses identity politics as a selling point, it's clear it has no story.

Chapek finding animation as something just for kids explains why this movie was so… childish. Wasn’t Disney dark and sorrowful AS WELL as fun and cute? Encanto was gutwrenching. Raya was intense. Moana made me weep. This is just constant shenanigans and slapstick and over the top characters without a hint of subtlety and emotion. Even back in the day, wasn’t Snow White seen as too scary for kids? Isn’t the Lion King as beloved as it is for committing to killing off a character? Even lighter movies like the Aristocats and Robin Hood had sadder moments. This, I think, is also why the characters look as goofy as they do. And why it flopped so much.

Disney needs to focus more on GOOD STORY and WRITING first over representation. Not saying representation is bad, but Disney tends to take the story and make it JUST about representation. They should make the story and make sure they have solid, unique writing and characters etc. After that they should flesh out the characters and more about them. Instead they choose to make EVERYTHING related to showing there's a gay couple and people of different races, they make it the characters whole personality. Also geez make something new, tropes have been done before but you have to try to make it good and unpredictable. And to me it seems better to hide the message don't make it the big focus of every 5 seconds of the movie. Let the viewers listen and understand over time of the movie.

We just watched this movie last night with 10 and 14 yr old girls. They both enjoyed it and so did I. I did not find it un-memorable. I think this review is negative for the sake of being negative. Every critique made and suggestion of a fix would have been just as harshly trashed. If they used the black and white “old-timey” scenes more you would have said they stole it from WofO or they overused it. If they made a big deal of the son being gay it was cliche. I think the lack of marketing was probably deliberate to keep the crazies on the right from hijacking the movie and creating a “movie” burning situation to save the world from the “gay agenda”. If they add gay characters, no matter the side you fall on, you all hate it. What Disney movie treated het people any differently? I’m not sure how everyone wants them portrayed. They can’t just put them in and ignore them, then they didn’t highlight it enough. If they shine a light on them then they’re exploiting it. Getting the LGBTQA+ community right for the LGTBQA+ is so incredibly impossible. And Wikipedia is written by ordinary people, not by Wikipedia.

The only thing he says in response to why he did it was "I am who I am", he knows he isn't a father, that his son shouldn't look for/look up to him and that this is the type of being he is (Hunters in this story can best be described as madmen through and through) he is way more interesting because he realized and sorta made peace with the fact he is a terrible person in the large world.
