Just want to mention a cute little detail that's very easy to miss, at the end when Hiccup steals the black sheep just as Astrid is about to catch it, he actually slam dunks it into HER net instead of his, giving her the win! The entire show is packed with nice little details like that, ranging from practical (Hiccup putting rocks on his map at the beginning so it doesn't blow away) to pure world building (Hiccup's chin scar is visible at several different points in the first movie, even though it was never mentioned until the second!) Truly a masterclass trilogy
Also that at several points it's mentioned that Hiccup parallels his dad in personality but they show Astrid wing walking at the beginning of the second movie to parallel his mother
Just like the first movie, this one just does so many things right. Hiccup and Astrid's relationship is adorable, Valka is a great character and addition to the cast, Drago is such an unstoppable force of a villain, Eret's redemption feels earned, Stoick's death was extremely emotional and impactful, (it still makes me cry,) the climax is just plain perfect, and as always, the animation and musical score are fantastic. A pretty damn great movie and an amazing sequel.
56:02 Something I find interesting about this moment is that, there was a similar moment in the first movie at the end of the battle against the Red Death (aka the big queen dragon) and getting hit by the tail was how Hiccip ended up almost dying and losing his leg. But now they are older, faster and able to make tigher turns and they both get out unscathed. A nice little growth moment.
Since you asked about how Drago can control his alpha, his weapon implies the answer. It’s a bull hook or elephant goad. In the past they would use them to hit young elephants so that when the elephants grew up they would obey people that led them with the hook out of fear, even though they could easily overpower them. That’s how ancient people trained war elephants going back more than 2000 years and some circuses and zoos also used similar methods to train their elephants even though most consider it to be abuse. Considering the bewilderbeasts have large tusks and that Drago controls it by screaming and swinging his bull hook, the reference is very clear and it fits well with Dragos whole thing of controlling dragons through fear
Honestly I loved the second movie more then the first one, and just because it had a lot more emotions, Stoick’s death especially with Hiccup’s speech. Had me tearing up
There's so much of this franchise. Short movies: Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon, Book of Dragons, Gift of a Night Fury, Dawn of Dragon Racers and How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming (Homecoming takes place after the third movie all the previous ones before the second movie). And there are series as well, starting with Riders of Berk, then a second season for that is called Defenders of Berk, both take place after the first movie. And then we have Race to the Edge, one of the best things to have happened with the dragons franchise. It takes place 3 years after the first movie, so before the second movie and it's amazing! It makes you fall in love with the characters and the world they live in so much more. I highly HIGHLY recommend checking out this franchise to the fullest.
40:37 The way that the wild Dragons fight is something impressive to me (example: the two headed dragons "the twins use one" turn into flaming rolls 42:35)
For me this film is something very special. The only one I saw in the cinema. But what makes this film even greater is that an ENTIRE series takes place between the first and this film, where we learn so much about all the dragons and secrets.. And then seeing Hiccup's face in this film.. With the knowledge in At the back of his mind is what he has seen and who he has already met. Simply great.. My personal favorite of the series, Viggo, even indirectly warned Hiccup about the consequences of his good heart.. That at some point it prevents him from seriously recognizing danger. I loved that franchise and I still love it! Especially the second movie gets me everytime. But the series is also very awesome.. How many different dragons there are and just exploring this world.. Riders of Berg Truly amazing. Still love the conclusion of everything.
I been waiting for this since the other reaction🎉 0:33 And hell yeah, I would enjoy watching you guys react to the show, it's such a story building story that it literally can blow your minds 🎉
47:00 to answer the question. He managed to get his hands on an egg. Then raised it from an egg to what it is now. Using fear and abuse. Notice the bull hook he uses. Likely he beat the alpha when it was younger. Basically beating into it, that the hook means pain. So even when it’s massive. Him simply screaming and waving the hook is enough to remind it off the abuse and fear. He also seemed to have beaten the more parental and kind instincts of the typical bewilderbeast. Forcing it to rule through fear like a tyrant than a king.
I would absolutely love to see you guys react to the Tv show! I loved the show but don’t think anyone’s ever reacted to it on RUclips before. It definitely fills in a lot of gaps during the 5 years between movies 1 and 2
Sad fact about Drago’s weapon: it’s known as a Bullhook. It’s a weapon used to traditionally “train” Elephants. Essentially the person would beat on the elephant and pull on its tusks with this weapon as a baby & as it grows so when it’s an adult, it’s too scared to fight back due to trauma. So it’s heavily implied this is what drago did to this bewilderbeast. Raising it from when it hatched and beating it to submission.
its not that you have to watch the show to understand or something, its more like the show does a great job filling in the gaps and will probably leave you feeling more satisfied. but no, not watching the show will in no way harm your experience.
Fun fact: hiccup saved valkas bewilderbeast when it was still an egg in the final episodes of dragons: race to the edge. But, to make sense of everything, you need to start with dragons: riders of Berk. Then dragons:defenders of Berk. Then dragons race to the edge.
That's not the case, we see that Valka raised the white one from Race to the Edge but as some other people have noted, Drago controls his bewilderbeast through fear from when it was young so the two should be close to the same age. The large sea dragons have very long lifespans even though they apparently mature very quickly based on the gap from RttE to the second movie. I can't remember if the one we see in RttE is physically similar to Drago's but there doesn't seem to be much difference in physical characteristics in the two in this movie.
I don’t that’s a fun fact or a fact at all cause it was said that drago found his when it was just a hatchling meaning that he found him when he just came out the egg
YES PLEASE REACT TO THE SHOW, the show just adds so much of things and the show is funny as hell if you liked the movies the show is a must watch and just to be sure we are talking about race to the edge right? because there is another show that plays earlier it like plays directly after the first movie and race to the edge is like right before the second movie. For a little idea of what the show gives you see hiccups first trys with the wingsuit.
😂 horimiya reminds me of my high school. I was a pretty shy guy unable to take initiative but a friend of mind advised me to either go all in or not try it all, nothing about moderation. Really progressed the relationship forward in my case. I can understand why Miyamura is like that
8:44 this is the first time someone pointed this out and it’s adorable. Hiccup and Astrid honestly have one of the best relationships in fiction (the third show shows this off in more detail).
You don’t quote on quote “have” to watch the show in order to understand the movies it just helps answer questions you might have as well as fill in the holes for the *hicstrid* relationship It would also patch some holes with the “dragon trappers” because we see a good fair of those in the show We also get an introduction of Drago at the end of the show so we get what would’ve happened to Eret
For Race to the Edge fans, remember in Triple Cross when Viggo said to Hiccup "Hiccup, you have many admirable qualities, but ruthlessness is not one of them. You are too good, too pure, too innocent, which will get you or someone you love killed.". Fast forward to movie two, and Hiccup's lack of ruthlessness, - wanting to change Drago's mind when both his mother and father told him it wasn't possible (not to mention that he committed MASS REGICIDE.) - got his father killed. If he had just killed Drago, Stoick would still be alive. Foreshadowing? I think yes.
Actually, in therms of timeline, the shows happen before HTTYD 2 (Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge), but it would be amazing if you guys reacted to the shows, specially Race To The Edge! No many people do it because of the Copyright issues, but it could be a Patreon thing maybe?
PLEASE watch the show it's so good but no one ever reacts to it. usually the cartoons for the movies are dumbed down and repetitive but the show adds so much lore and they actually keep most of it in the movie.
Yes!!!!! Please please please watch the show how to train your dragon race to the edge!!! It’s so good and makes a lot more sense of the rest of the series
You should definetely watch both of the shows (forget the nine realms show, that one is useless), they're all great, tho the animation budget isn't as high as the movies, it's still great
The old alpha is not bad, he is just very frightened. The story behind Drago's Bewilderbeast is that Drago captured him as a baby and abused him, bringing attention to the fact that the bewilderbeast could easily kill Drago he does not because he fears him and why Drago's weapon of choice is a bullhook. It is common used tool in the abuse of elephants and why the animation designers in the movie based the bewilderbeast's looks and size after elephants to bring light to the issue.
@@billijomaynard8924 I always took it like this, the villain alpha is just physically stronger and have more stamina because he pulls those ships, man work out everyday 😂
You don’t need to react to the show. The show was made supplemental to the movies. I don’t even think the movie creators even watched or talked to the people who made the show tbh
100% watch the show, it is the best thing that happened to this franchise. And do NOT, by any means possible, watch The Nine Realms. The third film is arguably good but I do not consider it canon for myself because of several points that frankly don't make sense.
Get the name right, “Karna” also we weren’t enjoying apocrypha to begin with and the only thing keeping us watching was karna so of course we’d drop that shit show of a season- Neel. That shit is not the fate I fell in love with.
@@SourTaste if you weren't enjoying it then why even start it in the first place , because if you were just watching for Karna then maybe just maybe just putting it out there how about only watch episodes that karna was in or don't watch fate Apocrypha at all because if you were just watching for one character then that defeats the purpose of watching it I get you wanted to try something new but at least at the very least attempt to power through it, I'm not trying to come off as a hater but the fact you quit on something 3 episodes away from finishing just irritated the hell out of me.
@@ShadowEdits86 Just because _you_ like something, doesn't mean everybody else will. Some reactors will power through bad shows out of obligation to their audience, but sometimes it's better just to throw in the towel. Everyone is going to draw the line at different points, though.

Also that at several points it's mentioned that Hiccup parallels his dad in personality but they show Astrid wing walking at the beginning of the second movie to parallel his mother
Also, you can see in the first movie as well as the rest, that Toothless has a smilar scar but on his neck. Making him and Hiccup more connected
Man stoick was the best character in this movie. His death and his quote "you're as beautiful as the day I lost you" makes me teary-eyed

According to the Television series Drago found the alfa as a baby and raised it. That is why he can control it through fear.

Hiccup uses friendship and trust
Draggo uses fear and intimidation
Grimmel uses explotation when necessary
Honestly I loved the second movie more then the first one, and just because it had a lot more emotions, Stoick’s death especially with Hiccup’s speech. Had me tearing up

And then there’s the one we don’t talk about
On 50:05, you'll see each shot shows represents Stoick
A warrior - the bow
A chieftain - the armor
A father - Hiccup
A friend - Gobber
40:37

All the dragons, exploring new islands and the evolution of berk is explained in the tv show 😁

Yep.
There's an animated series called Dragon's Edge. In terms of story, it takes place before this movie
If you're interested in seeing how he got here, the series does it beautifully
Man killing man. Dragon killing dragon. Man killing dragon. It's the Dragon King Festival!
I know, wrong franchise, but it's too food 😂
Stoick: it takes more than a little fire to kill me.
*Dies in fire
