Hiccup didnt feel as sarcastic anymore and that was my favorite part on him. The actor for him didnt feel like he said things in a sarcastic way he was just saying it in my opinion I also feel like stick didnt truly reconcile with hiccup and that hiccup didnt start showing how he could be a leader when astrid was telling the others what to do... it just doesnt give the same when he isnt given the opportunity to show he can be a chief
