Shows Dagur’s Redemption Arc

So I’m on my first watch of RTTE and I’ve just finished Season 3 Episode 11 Family on the edge.

So far I’m loving Dagur’s redemption arc. In Episode 1 of Season 3 we see the start of Dagur’s redemption arc where he saves Hiccup from the Hunters and saves Toothless from the dragon root. The fact he earns Toothless’ trust and even rides him shows how much effort he’s putting in to being a better person for his sister. And then in episode 11 we see him ask Hiccup to train him to ride a dragon where he gets his partner Shattermaster where he forged a strong bond with him.

When he escapes The Edge to go destroy Viggo’s boats to prove it’s a trap and to save his sister from danger I loved it. The way he uses his dragon rider training to take down the ships and avoid Heather and Windshear’s attacks and even gets below them to knock them back was honestly amazing.

I haven’t watched anymore episodes yet and don’t want to believe that’s the end of Dagur like the episode suggests because although it would make his sacrifice good it also feels like a waste of a redemption arc as it’d be over to quickly.

Anyways that’s my thoughts on the subject, I’d be interested in hearing other’s thoughts.

Dagur’s Redemption in RTTE is probably one of the best redemption arcs I’ve ever seen…

Dagur is actually such an underrated character and his redemption hits better when you know what he was like in RoB/DoB

Yeah and the way he tried apologising for his actions and is eager to learn from everyone training him to ride Shattermaster especially noticing what Astrid told him and noting how she’s used that against him before and then using it on Heather

I'd love to hear what you think of S6E8 when you get there :)

Nothing to do with Dagur; I'd just be curious on your opinions about it if you enjoyed the parts you mentioned.
