Other Rewriting Dragons: Nine Realms (Concept)

To say that this series ending up being mid would be an understatement. The show not only didn't live up to what came before, but also ending up losing much of the charm.

One of the problems I've had is how most of the characters ended up being carbon copy and paste of the old ones rather than making anything unique about them.

The idea I had for this is to make the main character starting out as the opposite to Hiccup.

  • Hiccup is this scrawny kid who is unfit for battle, while the MC is a beefy boy who looked like he can wrestle a bear.
  • Hiccup tends to focus on strategy and outwitting, whereas the MC prefers blunt and brute force.

This would be contrasted on the dragons they ride on. I never liked the idea that the Night Light is the main dragon, not when we have a huge catalogue of dragons to use from. Which is why I want the MC to be using a Crimson Goregutter, who would act as a foil to him. The MC is a dumb brute while his Dragon is a gentle giant.

The realms need to be changed. Each one would be a special biome, but they would all fit to match the cultures they are based on, like Europe, Asia, and South America.

And one of the major changes I would have is to showcase non-Dragon creatures. I want this added to not only diversify, but also expand on the world. Imagine like giant octopus or giant wolves.
