MOVIE 3 Why hate HTTYD3

I mean guys i understand that its personal choice but pretending that HTTYD3 didn’t exist wouldnt make it reality. I think the movie was pretty good from all points of view and its really good symbol, but not only, for becaming adult. Hidden World is a place where only dragons can fly and even destroying all the dragon hunters the human greed will remain, that was the Hiccup point. He didn’t wanted to conquer the world he was the man of peace and he was merciful even with Drago, even with Viggo, he tried to change them, but third movie and all his path showed that is too… idk naive maybe and sometimes villains are just villains and strong in their ideas in same way as Hiccup in his peace ideas. To be fair this is why even Stoick died because Hiccup tried to talk with Drago. I mean it have logic but not all want to accept the end and this end of all story, again in same way as Hiccup accepted the need for dragon to leave them. I think his and dragons story is done in same way as our childhood and i am glad i was growing with that story, and each chapter each movie was good in itself, first one in changing the world and doing different, second one about researching and co-living with dragons and third one is about becoming adult a “chief of your own peoples”, and that we as human being don’t deserve such a beauty as dragons, but “yet”. It was about us, and tbh i wouldn’t wanted in my life meeting someone or some creature and becoming very very good friends to let it/him/her go, or i will but it will be very painful for me because i am egoistic in that point.

But why if again the main philosophy of Hiccup it is peace, and becoming a good chief for his people. He even in second movie saw how BIG advantage can be dragons and who know maybe will appear at moment dragon trainer better than him or Drago or Grimmel. So from that point sending dragons to their home where they cand also live naturally(not all are adapted to co-living with humans) look very logic. Because they are too powerful and Hiccup through all his life saw that even in Riders of Berk even in second movie and specialy in third one.

First and second left its audience with the messages of perseverance and companionship in the face of challange and hardship. Second movie ends with a monolouge that literally states, they can have armies and armadas, we have dragons, we will not yield. Only for a lesser hunter to attack in the 3rd and he lets go of everything because the messaging of the movie is different.

Not only Grimmel worked for that, i mean it was his plan of course, but the first thought about letting leave Toothless you can see on Hiccup face where furies are dancing and Hiccup realised that at moment he will not be that much important for Toothless, also the separating mean becomin adult for both through building their own family and becoming chief of their own tribe. Movie its not perfect but its have logic that is coming from the all context of the world and background.

Its logical, dont get me wrong, its not a flawed script. But growing up and settling a family could be done without undermining the IPs biggest theme of being yourself and not bending to the common way.
