So why would they Give Dracula another Love Interest?! Look, I get that these movies aren't as deep as Castlevania, but I really expected better from them.

It would've made so much more sense if Drac had feelings for her, but shut them out because of Martha. This is gonna be a weird comparison, but in Ice Age 2, Manfred the Mammoth, has found another female mammoth. Sid and Diego, his two friends, are telling him he should pursue a relationship with her, and Diego asks what is stopping him from it. Manfred simply says "My family". Manfred, had a wife and child who were killed by humans and he has been alone for who knows how long. To have another family, another wife and child? Not as easy as one would think. THIS, is how Drac should've reacted.

too bad more animated children's film series don't ever take the route of maturing a bit as their audience does, i.e How to train your dragon and even Kung Fu panda take on somewhat more mature themes in the later movies and aren't afraid of mortality, while still having a childlike charm and fun animation

[@masonlobster]

maybe I'm taking an animated series too seriously, but the fact that they completely ignore the zinging once in your life thing is really stupid. she didnt even really help dracula move on from the death of his wife, dracula was just cool with dating again and kind of just ignoring his dead wife in the process. it wouldve been much more interesting if it was dracula who was having second thoughts about getting together with someone with mavis pushing him to find someone new. hell, even if they included the cliche of an unopened note from his dead wife revealing she'd want him to honor her memory in addition to him finding happiness with someone else. instead he just instantly falls for the captain girl with no inner turmoil or anything about finding love again after so long. whatever, I'll keep coming back to these movies for the entertaining animation alone, I just wish they didn't forget how to write good plots.

[@genericname2747]

Really feels like Dracula just isn't traumatized by the murder of his wife. Like, he built a whole hotel and trapped Mavis in it, but now he's willing to marry some random lady (who tried to kill him)?? Like, I get Drac doesn't hate humans anymore, and he has gone through character growth, but he really should have been less willing to get romantically involved. And they really missed a chance for Drac to not only feel betrayed by the fact that a human tried to kill him, but also to reference his dead wife, who was burned alive by a mob.

[@masonlobster]

if he had mentioned where his hatred would of humans stemmed from to the boat captain, that would’ve made her siding with the monsters make even more sense, instead of drac randomly saving her life or that one conversation during dinner. idk they could’ve handled it much better, but it’s a kids movie so whatever lol

[@masonlobster]

look I barely remember the movie lol, but I definitely remember being kinda taken aback by how easily he replaced his wife. if I rewatch it and it’s less like that I’ll retract my statement, but from what I remember, they didn’t write it well

[@donnamitsuki281]

Yeah! It would've been cliché and I don't think someone needs "permission" to move on. HOWEVER I agree. She made this letter back in the day,Drac has always kept it but was never brave enough to open it. Then he does it and there it is,Martha assuming she won't survive the humans,clearly she wrote in a hurry,but basically if anything happened to her,she loves him,she always has and always will,and she wants him to be happy no matter how or with who,but happy. We could include captain lady finding the letter too,or Drac actually going into detail of WHAT happened to Martha to add to her character arc,realizing people who hunt monsters are hurting others,Val Hellsing is hurting others,she is about to help him hurting others. Humans caused a major loss in Dracula's life and that loss isn't any less horrible than the loss of a human life (I mean her parents did die right or are implied to be gone she could empathize there)

[@TheWererapter92]

Oh Wah Wah Waaaah you zing once in a life time, how long has Dracula lived again? Oh that's right Several life times, if anything because of this fact he could zing several times or maybe the Zing effect wares off after a certain period of time that the zing partner has passed that it's then reset and allows the partner still alive to once again Zing with another. The zing feature is a flaw, if u zing with someone in HT and that someone dies you will live a miserable life of solitude for eternity in Dracula case, cut the guy some slack. These films were bloody brilliant

[@nicholaswilliams6475]

I really hate when a kids' movie can't just let characters die. "YoU cAn'T hAvE dEaTh In A kIdS' mOvIe!" You can and should. Having everyone make up and live happily ever after is stupid. If a hero sacrifices themself only to be resurrected or "surprise! they didn't die" undermines their sacrifice. If a villain is saved from death or spared, you kinda have to lock em up in chains. If you let them go free, you have to give them a change of heart, one that has built up to throughout the movie. You can't just go "u saved me? wot? y?" because that's totally against their whole character throughout the whole movie. They could have been destroying cities, enslaving millions, or/and making deals with the devil. Saving them once is not gonna change their hearts. They aren't gonna just abandon their goals. **Spoilers cause I'm gonna do examples: ** Take Sisu from Raya and the Last Dragon. If she stayed dead, she could have been a memory, a legacy, a reminder, a lesson of the destruction and pain caused from fighting amongst yourselves and that the path to victory is through unification. But nope, fuck that! Sisu comes back and so does literally everyone who was ever affected by the evil monster plague thing (idr its name). It's like it never happened Van Helsing from HT3 literally had no reason to change. Other than the fact that his entire evil empire (of 1 person and a giant fish) fell apart. His second-in-command left him, his secret weapon was "destroyed", his plan thwarted, and he's now surrounded by his enemies. If he had any sort of group to fall back to, it would have been even stupider that he's like "u svaed me? wao, maybe not so bad". The dude spent years, more than a century fighting monsters. One save is not gonna change him. Especially since Dracula saved him IIRC and Dracula also spent years NOT saving him. I'm pretty sure his failures at the hands of Dracula are a major reason why he's robo man now. If it was me I'd be like: "please just let me die, you're just saving me to torment me more, aren't you?"

The human gets the good color while the monster gets the evil one, but the roles turn out to be switched. Its nice.

You know, I’ve never really liked the whole “a zing only happens once in your life” theme. It kind of implies that if a relationship you were really into didn’t work out, or if something happened to them you are destined to be alone and miserable. I know that most people have completely unrealistic and backwards ideas about how love and emotions work (hell, the fact that some people think that divorce is a terrible sin despite it being a GOOD thing is proof of that), but that’s still a pretty terrible thing to imply.

Honestly I feel like this entire series would actually be better as one of those music-only animation exhibitions like old cartoons sometimes were. Like this art style definitely isn’t my cup of tea, but the stretchy animation is fun to watch and with the amount of time they spend on visual gags it seems like if they removed dialogue and shortened each movie a bunch the series would be a lot more bearable and easier to watch for kids and adults alike (that’s assuming that kids are like how I was as a kid and didn’t mind using context clues to make their own stories for things like ballet performances and whatnot.)

I have to confess. I know this isn't a good movie... I know I shouldn't like this movie. But I have an absolute soft spot for this movie. I just... I can't help it! Parts of it and scenes of it are just so god damn wholesome for me. I really love all the scenes where it's just the family hanging out and having a legit good time together. It's SO wholesome. And when Drac's friends just hang out and build a sandcastle... That's cute man. Drac's and Erica's date... they seem to legit like each other and... I also really liked the little scene where Maive and Jonnhy are talking and Jonnhy supports Maive but also points out, the important thing is that Drac is happy and Maive actually agrees so she has to put aside her own immediate feelings for her dad's happiness. Of course, all of that is thrown in the bin in pretty much in the next scene, but for how long it lasted... It was just wholesome. I can't hate this movie. I know I should. But I guess in todays world where SO many of these kinds of movies try to be edgy and mean spirited and so on. This one just... is not. It's cute. The characters are all sweet and legit care about each other so... I can't hate it... I might even... kind of love it.... It's my guilty pleasure okay! I'm sorry!

What confused me is how they very clearly established in the first Hotel Transylvania movie that “you only zing *once* in your life” but Dracula just moved on and found a second zing????? This is similar to Ralph Breaks The Internet ignoring the “if you die outside your own game you don’t regenerate” AND “going turbo is bad” rules from the first movie because Ralph and Vanellope are seen in the beginning messing around in the other arcade games and get stuck in one of them but the movie never explains how they got out unscathed. Also, Vanellope basically went turbo and abandoned her game Sugar Rush to join the bootlegged GTA type game. I guess it’s true that you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain in Vanellope’s case.

"We're different from each other, and that's something we should appreciate" is a way better message to provide kids with than "We're not different from each other at all, we're actually all the same". One is realistic, true, and positive, the other is just delusional and will quickly be proven wrong the second the child has any real experiences in their social life.
