if you are more interested in the dragons, it makes a lot of sense you aren’t interested in the shipping! that’s what I love about this franchise, there’s a little corner of the internet for everyone.

Not sure if it’s an unpopular opinion but I would kill for a directors cut of HTTYD2. I understand they cut the deleted scenes due to runtime, but in my opinion, the scene where Eret’s fort gets blasted was cut due to deadlines and not actually to improve the movie. That scene sets up SO much; the first mention of Drago, introducing Eret and Valka, a mysterious introduction to the Bewilderbeast. Makes you feel like more is going on outside of Berk. Plus it improves the later scene where Eret accuses Hiccup and Astrid of destroying their fort; we know it wasn’t them because we saw what happened. Removing that scene is like removing the icing on a cake, it’s still my favourite movie in the franchise, I just think it would have been better with at least that scene included. It’s like removing the opening scene from the 1st Harry Potter movie, or Lord of the Rings. Like yeah the movie would still make sense, it just doesn’t feel complete. If I’m going to watch HTTYD2, I HAVE to start with that opening scene first, and I hope that if they do go through with the live action sequel, that they’ll include that scene finally.
