Drago Bludvist’s Backstory: The Rise of The Warlord | How To Train Your Dragon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- Let's breakdown the backstory of the madman, military genius, and vicious warlord Drago Bludvist! Now Drago Bludvist was a strange man from a strange world who was designed to look racially ambiguous and totally separate from the Vikings of Berk, who built an army, obtained a Bewilderbeast, and gave himself the title of Dragon God.

I really like his character he's very intimidating much more than a dragon
A black hearted human can be more dangerous than any aggressive dragon
@@adawnicusautocon or any aggressive animal at all
Tiny thing: Drago is easily the weakest villain of the franchise and his backstory sounds like nonsense that’d never fly in the real world. You build Empires by learning from your failures, being flexible and peacefully proving that life serving under you is preferable to any alternatives. Drago does none of this: he can’t learn from his failures because he dodges the blame and executes the scapegoats he creates, he can’t allow his strategies to adapt to the changing times because he’s a control freak and serving in his army means a lifetime of fighting flying, fire-breathing enemies and being harshly punished when your op enemies always prevail. It makes so little sense that so many people would follow an obvious madman!
@@IsaiahRichards692 He's just like every tyrant in history. Power attracts people even when it's ugly.
@@JeffCJY Nope! You failed history, I can tell! Every tyrant in history is unique in how they attain and maintain their power. Hitler used dissatisfaction with the old regime, Mao used his vision for the future, Kim uses a cult of personality, Stalin used fear. Drago used plot armor, considering his plans make no sense and he’s clearly no ally of humanity against the dragon threat!
I miss HTTYD, it was the main series I grew up with so I still cry when I think about it being over. Drago was always one of my favorite villains of the series so this was quite interesting.

Both Kung Fu Panda and HTTYD trilogies had their best villains in the second movie: Lord Shen and Drago Bludvist
@zoorockf1how can you not say Drago was a great villain
@@ThomasNichols3yeah I completely agree
Viggo > Drago & Grimmel
@@ThomasNichols3What he means is Drago's character development isn't great as Lord Shen throughout the movie we only get to see his flashback with Stoick he does have a backstory as he mentioned but sadly the movie doesn't really show to us
Stoick: “Men who kill without mercy cannot be reasoned with.”
Felt like Hiccup’s version of Alfred helping Bruce understand the Joker.
My theory on how he turned evil: A dragon killed his father, who saw his son as nothing more than a waste of human for his lack of bravery around dragons. Dragon raids would still spiral out of control until a dragon would take his arm. He lost everything: His people, his father, his sanity. All he can do now to quench his thirst is to kill and abuse dragons.
So when you think about it, he's what Hiccup would become if he became depressed
Inflicting his pain on dragons as he saw them as inflicting pain on him as a kid very nice theory
I also believe Hiccup would become Grimal if he had killed Toothless.
@@matthewdoherty803 Drago probably thinks death is too merciful for dragons. When you stop and think his survival of his village was a case of cruel mercy because he's alive but he has nothing to feel grateful about being alive because they took everything his home his parents he's all alone with nothing but grief and probably in agony with a ripped off arm. Drago probably believes that dragons are merciless and the only time when they show mercy is cruel mercy after when they have taken everything else away from you they let you live just so you can suffer even more. He will make them suffer just like how they left him alive to suffer instead of actually finishing him off so he won't have to live with the pain.
Also I think Drago let Hiccup live after Stoick's death as an act of cruel mercy since not only did he think Hiccup and the others had no way of coming after him because he takes all the dragons and ships not knowing about the baby dragons but it was also him wanting to leave Hiccup living with feeling the same grief he felt after his family was killed. He wanted Hiccup to suffer on the inside as he once did. Cuz Hiccup didn't even try showing Drago some empathy to try reasoning with him about that both of their village's were attacked by dragons only Drago actually suffered far more then Hiccup
I don't think depressed is the right word to use. Depression is more of developing a lack of interest in doing anything, feeling hopeless or flat giving up on life. Drago is clearly driven by bitterness and rage. He's Hiccup if he let his bitterness and rage consume him and decided to take revenge on everyone for scorning him.
My god you're right 😳😳
Both Drago and Grimmel turned out the polar opposites of Hiccup because unlike Hiccup they both had bad experiences with Dragons in childhood. Both had their villages attacked by Dragons and Grimmel was even praised by his village for killing a Night Fury encouraging him to go down the wrong path!
That's actually a Good point! Tbh I can see why some people don't actually like them compared to Viggo in RTTE series
I think Drago Bludvist is one of the best villain in the how to train your dragon series and the greatest enemy, Hiccup and Toothless and the dragon riders have ever face.
Thank you bro…Grimmel was more of a secondary antagonist he didn’t have that appeal.
@zoorockf1 I’m just saying that in regards to the third movie falling flat. Using elements from Kung Fu Panda 2 like the Hideout fight
@zoorockf1 lmao people still say the second one is better than third look at the reviews.
@zoorockf1 that’s cars lmao two different movies
No viggo is the best
I will never forgive him for killing Stoick
Neither will I
Toothless killed him
@@wolfywlf3983 technically yes. But it was Drago who ordered his BewilderBeast to brainwash Toothless.
True
He deserves worse
Did Isaac already do a video on grimmel? He is downright one of my favorite DreamWorks villains charismatic conniving intelligent and manipulative all spelling out deadly.😈 Srsly dangerous underrated villain
I did make a video at one point about how he controlled his dragons!! ruclips.net/video/_CbgIv7RYNs/видео.html
I miss these movies
Check out the books even though they're very different from the movie they're really good
@@tayloredwards4968 I should thank you
@@tayloredwards4968 I would but I'm so turned off that Astrid doesn't exist in the books; she was only created for the films.
@@Jessicanimation there's a character in the book that's called Kamikaze who pretty much takes the same role except she's not romantic with Hiccup
"Mommy? Why do the dragons want to hurt us?"
Is what Drago probably asked when he was still an innocent child😢
Do The Full Story of Stoicks (Hiccup's father) up to his tragic death in How Train Your Dragons 2 please.
I always imagine a crossover between disney's peter pan and tinkerbell prequel movies and the jake and the neverland pirates with how to train your dragon with drago bludvist as the main villain that would be awesome
Fun Fact: The first How To Train Your Dragon Movie was set in the year 1010, which means that if Hiccup lives to his 70s, he will have been alive to see the Battle of Hastings in 1066
I doubt Hiccup is ever gonna go to Great Britan even if he lives that long since the Vikings in HTTYD never seem to think about exploring outside beyond the islands of the archipelago.
@@robonaught isn’t Berk set in Northern Scotland?
When Drago was a boy, his village was burnt and his family were taken and killed. That story also tells us how his left arm was most likely bitten by a dragon.
Dagur: Kills Heather's adopted parents and sacked her village before the whole twist that they're siblings. Gets forgiven and to be redeemed.
Viggo: Tried to starve Berk to death and committed a form of biological warfare/terrorism by trying to cause an outbreak of a fatal disease which almost killed Astrid because she gets infected. Did I mention he starts of the disease by infecting his own men who all die? Gets to be redeemed (even if he does seemingly die in the process of redemption).
Drago: Has an actual Freudian Excuse, kills a few chiefs and Stoick (who he wasn't even aiming at Stoick), is cruel to his men and wants war. HE'S EVIL AND AN IRREDEEMABLE MONSTER!
Seriously Viggo and Dagur committed crimes which were either the same or even worse then Drago. Yet everyone is fine with Dagur and Viggo being redeemed despite their crimes but Drago doesn't even deserve a chance to be redeemed? I'm seeing double standards bullshit here!
Note: This is referring to how a majority of the HTTYD fanbase treats Drago. Not Dreamworks themselves as Dreamworks didn't see Drago as irredeemable due to an earlier version of The Hidden World's script (which was failed to be mentioned in this video) but removed it due to it taking too long to write not because they thought Drago was too far gone and unlikeable to be redeemed and the fact that Drago was supposed to be way more complex then he looks but they rushed him and brought him into the overall story much earlier then intended due to the original script they had for HTTYD2 which involved Valka as the main antagonist while Drago was supposed to be built up as this approaching threat who wasn't supposed to physically appear into the 3rd movie as the final villain, due to them having to change the script because of an angry test audience.
In regards to your statement about Dagur and Viggo there is one thing they had that Dragon didn't. The willingness to change their ways because they were proven wrong in their own experiences before the end of their respective stories.
Dagur made amends by saving Hiccup's life, saving his fellow dragon riders, and actually caring about his village and Heather. His redemption took time and effort to flesh out because he grew to love people and dragons. He was forgiven because he proved that he was not the same evil kid he once was. Even Hiccup says he was really evil when he's introduced before Race to the Edge. Dagur doesn't even attempt or try to justify his actions. He knows what he did was messed up.
Viggo's redemption was not all that fleshed out. What he did for Hiccup came at the end of his life. He was working with two toxic individuals who never gave him the time of day and constantly harassed him on a daily basis. The reason why he joined Hiccup again was because he was saved by the kindness of a wild Monstrous Nightmare. This changed Viggo's perspective because he never thought that dragons were just something to profit off of and hunt. He never cared for their well being until a random dragon decided he was worth saving. That's when he realized that Hiccup wasn't a fool and he was right, but he had stubbornly ignored him until he started to risk his life for him because he believes in Hiccup now. Plus he wasn't going to let Johann and Krogan get away with trying to trap him in a cave. He risked his life for the cause because he had no one else to turn to and with a changed mindset. This redemption was temporary and while Hiccup was surprised it didn't change the fact on what he did in the past and Hiccup is probably thankful for the life saving part, but he probably still holds a grudge for what he did.
Drago on the other hand cannot be redeemed. The reason is not because of his Freudian Excuse or his tragic backstory, it is because unlike Dagur and Viggo, Drago WAS NOT WILLING TO CHANGE. He laughed at Hiccup and his efforts to befriend dragons, he killed people because they would not follow him, and he did not once think back about his actions with any guilt. Drago has no guilt, no mercy, no willingness to change his mind. That's the major differences between Viggo and Dagur. Those two were willing to look at their actions and say they were wrong, but Drago DOES NOT CARE. He is only focused on his own goals and it doesn't matter who tries to stop him, he'll use the Dark Bewilderbeest to control the dragons and destroy any foes he comes across. Hiccup tried to help him change, he tried reasoning with him and teaching Drago that dragons can be tamed, but that man is about the same age as Stoick the Vast and is outright crazy compared to him. It's not that Drago can't change it's mainly that Drago WILL NOT CHANGE. This is what made him the angry, bloodthirsty maniac he is today. He's the embodiment of Hiccup's mastery over the dragons and Stoick's hatred towards them. Drago is what Hiccup, Stoick, and Valka could've turned out like had they not decided to change their ways from their previous views on both humanity and the dragons.
The third movie had such potential. In the third movie they had planned to bring back Drago and they were going to explore his themes and backstory more, but they decided to go with Grimmel instead.
What a backstory for a despicable villain! But only one Alpha can rule! That is Toothless!
Some things like being in the zone seem more like territory for inside out . Maybe it's your island activating and why do they even need a you seminar if you'l pick up core memories. In life 22 only filled her pass by living
What on earth does this have anything to do with Drago?
Finally, More HTTYD videos, I know I’m going to love this! 😌
I smile every time I pull out How To Train Your Dragon 2. It's such a great film series!
@@IsaacCarlson I know I have a question what happened in that movie I watch it before but I honestly forgot what happened
You've really been pumping out the videos the last few days. I've watched what I've knowlege of and like. This is going on the playlist specfically for your videos. Have a nice day!
Drago is a sad and tragic example of what can happen to a child if they are born and exposed to the worst most hostile environment imaginable and if they are forced to grow up fast due to having no parents. Drago very likely has some level of PTSD which he never recovered from and taking note of how dark and sunken his eyes are indicates a lack of sleep so I bet he has insomnia or suffers from nightmares due to the physical and mental trauma he suffered. Drago saying he was left with nothing seems to imply he was the only survivor so there was nobody to take care of him so he was forced to grow up fast just so he'll live to see another sun rise. Drago probably has grown up basically not knowing how to enjoy life. For him it's just been fight and survive rise above the rest or you'll perish. Also it's worth noting Drago doesn't show off his missing limb like Hiccup or Gobber. Vikings clearly see missing limbs as something to boast about so Hiccup and Gobber don't care if their prosthetics make it obvious. Drago however his prosthetic is to hide that he's missing a limb so he appears as invincible. Because Drago is from a rather different part of the world (which Dreamworks needs to flipping clarify where) it's possible where he comes from missing limbs might be seen as a weakness and target for discrimination so people could have been assholes to him too scorning and mocking him. It's safe too assume Drago finally just snapped. Seriously how much crap do you expect a child to take before they finally snap and lose their innocence and positive view on the world? Drago killed the chiefs at the gathering because they laughed at him so he probably has been scorned and mocked in the past.
He's basically Hiccup if his life was indeed crap. Hiccup might have been the laughing stock but he still had a village, roof over his head and one parent to look after him.
People can cry rivers for Stoick all they want but Drago's backstory just breaks my heart in half.
Also i'm disappointed this video mentions nothing about his intended return and development for the Hidden World.
They also contrast this with their method of taming dragons: Drago lost an arm fighting a dragon, but uses a harsh boot to make the dragons submit and see him as his master, Hiccup lost a leg but uses a tender hand to make the dragons trust him.
@@jorgebersabe293 Pretty sure Drago was only a child when a dragon bit arm off. Which shows some dragons are just pure assholes and are willing to hurt or kill children.
@@robonaught And I’m pretty sure some cruel man named Grimmel contributed to the raid in some way.
@@robonaught Drago is the embodiment of Ragnar Lothbrok's quote: "Power corrupts the best and attracts the worst."
One of my favorite trilogies!
To this day, I am so annoyed that they scrapped his redemption arc for HTTYD 3. Would of loved to have seen more of him :(
Same! Probably would have actually liked the Hidden World little more if they just kept him in. Why can't we just get a short series about him and that whole thing about him being stuck on an island with a dragon that he ends up bonding with like they originally intended to in Hidden World, instead of that stupid 9 Realms series?>:(
I don't have the heart to hate Drago despite what he's done, the guy clearly has PTSD as a result of what he went through as a child and never got the help he needed. Besides Dagur killed Heather's adopted parents and Viggo committed what was basically biological warfare or terrorism yet they both got to be redeemed (ok Viggo died in the process but still). So why is Drago irredeemable?
@@robonaught I know right? It really is a shame. There's a video on RUclips where one of the writers, at least I think it was one of the writers, gave some information about how the 3rd film was going to go. Drago would return and we were going to see what happened to him as a child and Valka's first encounter with him. There's a comic about this but for some reason, they're not publishing it :'(
@@plumpydayz I heard about this comic its called Fire Tides which is supposed to be set between the 2nd and 3rd movies and was supposed to tie up certain plot points and characters. I'm not too pleased with what I heard. It sounds like they were just going down the route of "He learns nothing from his defeat, stays bad and Hiccup is gonna end up killing him" instead of actually using the scrapped plot that was supposed to happen with him in Hidden World.
Yeah I hope they don't ever publish this comic if they're intending to go down THAT route with Drago. Seriously why waste a good redemption arc? Dean DeBlois said he cut Drago's arc out from Hidden World because it required a lot more time and work on which he didn't have the time to do so, nothing about because he thought Drago was too far gone and too unlikable to be redeemed.
@@robonaught Sorry to say this but Drago Bludvist is dead he drowned when the bewilderbeast dove under the water although dean said he is likely dead likely is still a high chance so unfortunately Drago Bludvist is dead and he is not going to return in how to train your dragon 4 because he is dead.
@@csraghav1218 There isn't gonna be a 4th HTTYD anyway so I don't know why your bringing up the possibility Drago is dead. A short series set between the 2nd and 3rd movies about his survival are not what you'd call a 4th movie/instalment. He's still not 100% confirmed dead and the terrible planned conclusion for him in Fire Tides was cancelled so I CAN DREAM HE SURVIVED AND GOT A HAPPY ENDING! GOOD BYE!
Drago is one of my favorite HTTYD villains!!!
His screams are hilarious 😂
He made Toothless kill Hiccup's Dad!
No he was making Toothless aim at Hiccup. Stoick just took the shot meant for Hiccup.
both the villains of the second and third HTTYD movies were just like Hiccup but opposites- they were how he COULD HAVE turned out if he hadn't stayed kind in HTTYD he'd have become like Drago, if he had killed Toothless instead of sparing him he'd have become like Grimmel
Hiccup and Drago had similar history both losing limbs to dragons though in different circumstances, and Hiccup could have turned out like Drago if he hadn't been, well, Hiccup.
Now Hiccup and Grimmel's similarities are that they are both skinny and very smart- I'm even willing to bet Grimmel was a runt in his village like Hiccup based on his stature alone- and Hiccup again could have turned out like Grimmel if he wasn't, again, Hiccup.
that's what I loved about those villains they showed us 2 very plausible types of people that Hiccup could have become if he'd been more like a Viking and less... himself.
Drago is Hiccup if Hiccup let his bitterness about being the laughing stock of the village get the better of him and decided to go down the path of taking revenge on everyone who scorned him all those years instead of just forgive and forget.
@@robonaught THANK YOU sometimes I can't get the right words out, thank you for helping there yes that's what I was trying to say!!
@@robonaught And if he did, no one would blame him at all, especially if we consider that Stoick treated Hiccup the way Ozai treated Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
@@jorgebersabe293 Ozai was way worse then Stoick. Ozai was willing to go with killing Zuko after Azulon told him he needs to feel the same pain Iroh felt about losing his son. He would have killed his own son had Ursa not poisoned Azulon. Also Ozai physically burned his own son after he refused to fight and banished him from home.
Stoick at least still cared about Hiccup and never physically abused him.
Also Hiccup would have turned out like Drago if he was never given a chance or sign to see the more gentle and kinder side of dragons.
I like it better when I thought it was an alternative history were dragons were real animals . . Think of the nitch ecosystem . In this alternative world were dragons were real some real animals aren't
Awesome video Issac never knew that about him like I said before your channel is both fun and educational Personally I think you should work for Disney with your knowledge
I think it’d be interesting if HTTYD2 opened with Stoick’s flashback. The one where drago kills all those other chiefs. That way I think he could be more of a pronounced threat throughout the film even with his limited screen time.
Drago is a 3 in 1 evil counterpart to the Haddock clan:
-To Hiccup: Both are people who lived in fear of dragons and discovered the mechanics of taming said dragons and lost a limb due to a dragon related event. Drago lost an arm fighting a dragon, but uses a harsh boot to make the dragons submit to him and see him as their master, Hiccup lost an arm but uses a tender hand to make the dragons trust him and see him as an equal.
-To Stoick: Both are chiefs with noteworthy hair and capes who are in command of a group of people, are deadly fighters and are tall and imposing in stature and tempers. Drago rules with fear, treats his people poorly and is willing to punish them for any misstep, Stoick rules with respect and treats his people with love and care. Drago seeks domination over others, Stoick is more content with remaining in Berk. Drago wears his cape around his prostethic arm out of a narcissistic desire to appear invincible, Stoick wears his cape in his shoulders, showing pride on his physical appearance. Drago was mourned by no one, Stoick was mourned by all his people.
-To Valka: Both are seasoned dragon tamers in command of a huge dragon flocks, wear spear-like weapons and have a Bewilderbeast to their beck and call. Drago's bullhook is a tool for harm to dragonkin and abused his Bewilderbeast into servitude, Valka's staff is more of a shepherd's staff and emits sounds that sooth the dragons and her Bewilderbeast regards her as an equal.
I am curious about where this information came from. I have never heard any of this until now about Drago which is weird since it's been 7 years since the movie came out and fans were finding out more information about the second movie way before the release date. Many die-hard fans comb through every inch of information about the second movie (myself being one of them) and I never heard of Drago controlling a Bewilderbeast since its birth or his army being called the Northern alliance. Also, none of Drago's backstory that was mention by Isaac was ever mentioned in the movies, tv shows, deleted scenes, or scripts. Everything about Drago has really been fan theorized and does not count as proof that any of this is true about Drago Bludvist. Nothing about his family or tribe dying at the hands of dragons. Fans only theorized this because of the information we are given about how dragons behaved from the first movie. The only thing that we can know about this villain is that he is in charge of warlords, he forces people to serve him or die, he found a Bewilderbeast sleeping grounds was able to wake it up and could control it by force (this was told within the TV series), and he hints that a dragon took his arm. Oh, and he only thought he had to deal with ONE dragon rider but then finds out there's a village and he gets super mad and moves his plans up so he can deal with it.
Then it was never hinted at that Viggo or Ryker worked for Drago. They had their own business with dragon hunting and did not work for Drago but only for their own profit. Viggo didn't even know who Krogen's boss was, only that he was someone who Krogen feared and that was after Viggo was burned in the volcano to get the dragon eye that he began working with Krogen. For all Viggo knew was that Johann was Krogen's boss. Krogen also wanted the dragon eye so Drago could find a Bewilderbeast to take down Valka but that didn't go as plan either so it took more years to find the dragon and thus the beginning danger within HTTYD2.
So for the long comment also. The small details that were put in this video don't sound correct and shouldn't be taken as facts.
Keep it up 👍 I always see the new videos
So emotional 😭
Isaac Carlson, can you do more How To Train Your Dragon videos, especially since Dragons The Nine Realms is out with 5 seasons now and probably some How To Train Your Dragon what if videos like what if Stoick listened to Hiccup, what if Drago win, or what if Grimmel killed Toothless, what if The Dragons stayed, and many more?
I just want a "What if Drago didn't lose his arm, family and village?" or "What if Drago was in the 3rd movie and had his redemption arc like he was originally supposed to?"
Do The Full Story of Megamind please. That'd be great.
Do this for httyd how all dragon species and populations returned to the hidden world and lived under toothlesses rule
Drago was a great villain!!!!!!
Though you made this a year ago Isaac, I'd like to hear your take on the new series, Dragons: The Nine Realms, as Tom Collorson discovers his Nordic Viking ancestry, as a descendant of Hiccup Haddock. It's so exciting!
I remember watching this movie I used love it but forgot what it was about and if they make it another one if so I can’t wait to see it I love the romance to so adorable
Drago Bludvist is the best I've seen in "How To Train Your Dragon".
A powerful Warlord of it's own.
What we don't know, is what happened to Drago's alpha? We didn't see it die, all it did was escape in the water, with Drago hanging onto the alpha. It's speculated that Drago drowned, so that could be possible, but I do think it'd be cool for DreamWorks to make a series where Drago returns as either a changed man, or someone who's hell bent on getting revenge.
P.s. Anyone in 2022?
Drago's Bewilderbeast's fate was revealed in the 3rd movie. Its seen for a few seconds living in the Hidden World. How it got there even though it can't fly and the Hidden World requires flight to properly access it is another question....
If Drago is alive they better do the former where he actually develops and learns his lesson to become a better person. Cuz return and redemption was actually the plan they had for him in The Hidden World. He was supposed to get washed up on an island home to one dragon so he had to learn and figure out how to earn it's respect and trust so he could ride it as it was his only way of getting off the island.
I'd rather watch a series about Drago developing into a better person (and go more into his past and how he got to where he is now) then that stupid 9 Realms series.
One thing I don’t get is why he does that scream and waves his staff around
Great job king👑🤴😌😊👍
It is not shown in the movie, however it is implied that the roman empire exists in the how to train your dragon universe. Drago could originally come from there.
Dang this was epic information
In my opinion, one of the best, most menacing and coolest antagonists ever.
love your vids
Please make a video on the backstory of Grimmel the Grisly
I wonder if Drago found the bewilderbeast egg from Race to the Edge Valka was supposed to keep hidden. IK its only a few years later Drago is seen with the bewilderbeast but it makes since why he’s so obedient to Drago
Last episode of RTTE is only 1 year before HTTYD2. It would be impossible for the egg to hatch and grow to the size it is in the movie in just one measly year.
Also the Dreamworks website said Drago found the Bewilderbeast as a hatchling during one of his earliest conquests which we can assume is way before he even set foot in the Viking region so he totally has had that Bewilderbeast much longer.
If anything he should have it fully grown during RTTE and he was just after the egg so he could smash it to eliminate the competition
Can you do the Afterlife from Soul?
1:10, if you pay close attention to the bewilder beast after he makes toothless kill stoick, you can see his face turn to remorse, almost as if he was apologizing to hiccup.
Hes not completely heartless
I love haw to train your dragon
Yes, he did the video that I asked for
Hey Isaac I love your videos but I have a question do you ever know what happens to Dager and heater after the third movie
Could you make a video about who would win a fight between Drago Bludvist and the Red Death ?
It was kinda strange we didn’t see him in the 3rd film
There was supposed to be a whole arc for him in the 3rd where he actually develops. Which this video fails to mention.
I'm really ready for a live action movie 🍿 it would be amazing
As long as they stay true to the original movies, I'd be okay with that!
Whoa the comic book looks so cool 😎
1:34 tha tis nice map
is thatoficcal i wul d like to see it
Yay! I love HTTYD content! 😁
They didn’t have to kill the king👑🤴
He a heartless man who killed hiccups father
So Dagur killing Heather's adopted parents in the TV Series doesn't make him heartless to the extent he actually gets to be redeemed, yet Drago killing Stoick (who he wasn't even aiming at Stoick anyway) makes him a heartless and irredeemable?
The hypocrisy is strong here
Also he has good damn reason for the way he is. He wasn't born heartless. How else do you expect a child to grow up after being horribly injured and saw his entire village die all because of a bunch of dragons that decided to be assholes?
Hey, can you make the origin video of another how to train your dragon villain called TRAITOR Johann!?
The spy of the archipelago, false merchant of Berk and ruthless dragon hunter of the entire series!!!
krogan was his best lieutenant and bro just went: nah throw him into the volcano
Shan Yu ("MULAN") vs Drago Bludvist ("HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2") - *Who Would Win!?*
As long as Drago doesn't cheat and use the Bewilderbeast i'd say 50/50.
Shan Yu is clearly skilled in fighting with or without his sword but Drago is no pushover either cuz we flat out see him having the balls to fight Stoick in actual combat (with only 1 arm!) Valka tried smacking Drago on the head with her staff which didn't affect him at all so Shan Yu's head butt like he did to Shang won't work with Drago. Also Drago is officially 6'10 while Shan Yu's concept art reveals he's 6 and a half heads tall which would mean he's probably either 6'5 or 6'6 so Drago is actually taller then Shan Yu and has a slight height advantage. Though I think by width Shan Yu is bigger.
Though I will say since Shan Yu's sword was able to slice through big thick wooden pillars with ease he could just chop Drago's bullhook in half or slice Drago's other remaining arm off. Also Shan Yu has claws so he could slash Drago's face or gouge his eyes even if he lost his sword.
Have you seen monsters at work trailer and concept art ?
Best villain in HTTYD series
How about influences of the Lilo and Stitch franchise?
Please do one on the life of lightning mcqueen
Can you do toothless backstory?
What about backstory of Red Death Villains Dragon 🐉
It's just a wild dragon without any human contact or influence that was a tyrant to other dragons for many years it doesn't need a backstory.
Dragos just one of them villains that u love and hate
I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have attacked right away if astrid just kept her mouth shut
After his titan wing retreated he actually drowned to death because he was unable to swim without his metal arm for some reason with his metal arm he can swim even tho he cant control his metal arm without an arm
Not really....
A) Regardless of if he had control of that metal arm that arm would have most certainly drowned him cuz it's weight would have just pulled him straight down so him losing the metal arm gives him a better chance
B) It is not impossible to swim with only 1 arm. Nothing ever points to that Drago doesn't know how to swim. This dude had probably been doing all sorts of training to his body during his "rising up" so he would be invincible which would include giving his disability of having one arm the middle finger and teach himself how to swim. Also he probably did lung excursive to expand his lung capacity so he can hold his breath for ages.
C) He was planned to come back in the Hidden World due to getting washed up on an island that was home to one dragon and he had to learn how to gain it's trust and swallow his hate cuz the dragon was his only way off the island showing he was gonna survive his dip in the ocean.
There is no official confirmation that Drago is dead despite his removal from THW so I say he lived and ended up on that island with the dragon.
Cuz I hate the concept of this guy just being abruptly killed off even though he has so much potential to develop in regards to his backstory and how he grew up seeing the world as an obviously mentally broken and scarred person with PTSD who just saw his whole way of life die and had his arm ripped off when he was just an innocent child forced to grow up fast on his own just to live to see another day and with no positive role model to guide him so his sense of right and wrong is messed up.
I think he's alive because we don't know what happened to him.
So sad 😞

Idea can you do Kylo Ren's backstory?
Do puts in Boots back story it's completely. Contrary to Shrek 2
Maybe the back story of grimmel
I was hoping that it would have more info on the post HTTYD2 Drago, but nevertheless, well done with the video!
This video fails to talk about how originally he was supposed to return in The Hidden World with an actual redemption arc which involved him getting washed up and stuck on an island that was home to one dragon so he had to learn and figure out how to earn this dragon's respect and trust as it was his only way to get off the island. And in the process he ends up growing attached to it.
I came here hoping this video would talk about that as nobody has ever made a video about it and was rather disappointed.
@@robonaught Really? That's honestly pretty cool!
There's a lot of really awesome stuff that they considered for the films that got left on the cutting room floor.
@zoorockf1 Drago wasn't developed well because they rushed him into the overall story (which you never seem to get the point about) and brought him in much earlier then intended. Cuz the early script of HTTYD2 Valka was the main antagonist while Drago was supposed to be mentioned as this approaching threat who was then supposed to be the 3rd movie's villain. But due to an angry test audience hating Valka being an antagonist they had to flat out rewrite the script by making Valka good and bringing Drago in earlier then intended but they obviously did a rather sloppy job at it. Even Dean DeBlois admits Drago came off as a bit flat and underdeveloped because of the changed script and has said Drago is actually more complex then he looks. His return in THW was to make up for his flat portrayal and actually show the more complex side of his character.
Also Dagur in the TV show killed Heather's adopted parents and he got a redemption arc so I don't see how Drago doesn't deserve a redemption arc. Even if Drago does redeem himself just have it that Hiccup still cannot fully forgive him but he lets Drago leave to start a better chapter in his life because he can see he has changed and it's not right to kill somebody who has actually seen the error of his ways and is actually trying to become a better person. Drago had a horrible start in life never having any sort of normal childhood forced to grow up without any sort of positive role model to guide him. He deserves a second chance to finally have an actual normal life like he should have gotten as a child. He deserves some level of a happy ending.
You can't just give one villain a pass and chance for a crime they committed and then go after another villain who is guilty of the same sort of crime with torches and pitch forks.
Yes!
I remember when I saw dragons 2 at theaters I was disappointed because I wanted Drago to die when he gets defeated
Hey Isaac, how come you don't talk about how to train your dragon more often?
He always felt like the villain the trilogy should have ended with
That was actually the original idea they had but plans changed due to an angry test audience hating Valka being a villain. So they brought Drago into the overall story much earlier then they intended to. Yes Valka was originally gonna be the main villain of HTTYD2.
Would have preferred for his arm to be withered instead of missing
interesting story
ok,but how the hell did he manage to dominate a ALPHA? like,that think is beyond the need to fight him: it couldn't have just EATEN him and there would have been little he could do about it.
He found it as a hatchling and abused it. You want proof? Go on the Dreamworks website and find his Bewilderbeast's bio it flat out says he abused it ever since it was a hatchling.
Also a Bewilderbeast won't eat a human anyway. They just eat fish.

🙏✌️king👑🤴
Could you do Grimdle
Veraldai is Drago’s daughter. Didn’t know he had green eyes, she has green eyes as well. I thought they were brown.
She's not even canon.....
@@robonaught idk didn’t they say Race to the Edge was canon
Was sup bro
I hate that they killed the king redundant👑🤴
Last name is metal hell
Why is Troy Bolton was Elsa in frozen two
Drago bludvist is dead for good because unfortunately Drago bludvist drowned when the bewilderbeast dove underwater even though Drago bludvist is a good swimmer you have to remember Drago bludvist dove under the water and Drago cannot breath underwater so yes unfortunately Drago bludvist has downed
Who's to say Drago didn't hold his breath before the Bewilderbeast dived?
Well even if he was holding his breath before the bewilderbeast dove underwater you have to remember that the bewilderbeast was swimming under the water so even if he was holding his breath he would still not be able to breath underwater
And also Drago bludvist could have suffered hyperthermia because of the weather hyperthermia is a disease where your body cannot regulate body temperature and
even if he could hang on to the bewilderbeast he could have gotten eaten by another water creature or another dragon so that is why I think Drago bludvist is dead
I would actually rewrite Drago's backstory to something different. Drago lost his family, his home, and his arms not to dragons but to other humans. He learned that all humans feared and hated dragons so he would resolce to conquer and control them to unite humanity inder his heel.
In other words: Drago is Hiccup is he used his knowledge for conquest instead of peace.
@@jorgebersabe293 Except that Drago believes that conquest is the only way to achieve peace
@@robonaught I think that at first Drago did have noble intentions....and then it started degenerating. As Ragnar Lothbrok said: "Power attracts the worst and corrupts the best."
Wish they would reshoot the movie lol I mean make Drago the primary antagonist, Grimmel as the secondary antagonist.
@@jorgebersabe293 I think either:
A) Drago got drunk on power
B) Perhaps it's not just dragons that have hurt him but also people so he started to see less of the good in people believing it's not just dragons that need to be put in their place but people too. I mean Hiccup tried to see the good in people so it would make sense if Drago was the opposite and he's unable to see the good in people because people have been horrid to him. Drago could have been scorned because of his missing arm as he's not from the same culture as the Vikings so where he comes from a missing limb might be a sign of weakness and target for discrimination. Drago is supposed to be the unreasonable one but it's worth noting the chiefs weren't very reasonable either. The chiefs were all supposed to be desperate about the dragon situation which is why they were having that gathering in the first place to discuss about solving the issue. Then Drago shows up claiming he can control the very beasts thereby offering them a solution but at the cost they bow to him. What do the chiefs do? They laugh at him. These guys are supposed to be desperate for a solution about the dragons yet they laugh at the first person who claims he has power over the dragons and an actual solution? Pretty stupid move. If the chiefs had brains they could have easily been more polite and asked Drago for proof about his claim so Drago could have shown them without burning the place down. The chiefs laughing at Drago he probably thought "Screw these unreasonable idiots that scorn me, KILL THEM!" because he's probably been scorned like this one too many times in the past and it triggered him.
As Sergei Bodrov's Mongol movie said "Do not scorn a weak cub he may become the brutal tiger"
Did they really have to kill the king 👑🤴
