@@midnightaurora9483If it got called white panther with a straight white masculine male they be boo hoo whining not being "diverse" enough which we all know that word today means not black enough. Let's be for real here.
Everyone talking about Astrid, but I'm more worried about Hiccup. Yes, he looks perfect, but the acting... I really hope it's gonna be better than it seams in the teaser 😅
Honestly this amazing, I love Nico for Astrid she suits it well same for Hiccup all these characters are amazing and the ppl who play them. I'm so excited for the live action. This is going to be an amazing thing for this series and I hope they can continue the animated version for httyd
I don’t understand why Nico Parker’s casting as Astrid is getting so much criticism, especially when other characters, like Fishlegs, have undergone much bigger changes. A fully white Viking boy is now played by a Polynesian actor, and hardly anyone is talking about it. Why is Nico singled out so much?To me, Astrid still looks "white" (her mom is half Black and white, and her dad is fully white), and her dirty blonde hair actually works well for live-action. Plus, Nico’s ancestry is English, if people are concerned about Scandinavian roots, it’s worth remembering Vikings traveled and settled across Europe, including England. And about that, weren’t the Berk characters in the animated movies meant to sound Scottish? So, people claiming “accuracy” for the live-action while ignoring how much the animated movies played fast and loose with historical and cultural accuracy feels kind of hypocritical. The original HTTYD films blended Viking culture with fantasy and random creative choices, like giving Vikings Scottish accents and the other one American accents. And it worked because they weren’t aiming for realism, they were telling a fun, imaginative story. I think it’s unfair to hold the live-action movie to a higher standard of “accuracy” when the animated series wasn’t accurate either. But don’t get me wrong, I’m also not fully on board with some of the cast members not being fully white. I would have loved a more realistic film with Scottish Vikings fighting and befriending dragons. What bugs me more is how the live-action film seems to copy the animated movie too closely, down to Toothless looking exactly the same. This could be a chance for them to make the film more historically accurate, taking some inspiration from a movie like The Northman, which accurately depicts Viking culture and landscapes. If they’re going to lean into the Scandinavian roots, they could draw from that realism and still keep the fantasy elements ofc. I wish they’d taken more creative risks to make this version feel unique, like how the animated movies reinvented the books. That’s what made the original HTTYD so special, it took inspiration and built something new. I do like some changes, though, like the twins not being identical and Astrid’s look being slightly different. It feels more grounded and less cartoony while still keeping the heart of the story.
Astrid is the 2nd main character and extremely popular compared to Fishlegs, that’s why. The fans were wanting for blonde blue eyed actress to get play her and were rightfully pissed! 🥱
@@SeanWalker15 Yeah, you're allowed to be pissed, I get it-I'm a bit annoyed too, especially also since we’re getting a remake and still no new 'School of Dragons' game. But youse shouldn’t focus on just one character because they’re more popular. Even if Fishlegs isn’t as popular as Astrid, for crying out loud, he’s played by a Polynesian actor, which is a bigger change. It feels kind of hypocritical to single out Astrid while ignoring Fishlegs’ casting. If no one’s complaining about that, then it’s only fair to leave Astrid alone too, or just go watch the show and the original films.
It looks really awesome because it looks like it'll actually follow the original story exactly...but why do we have to change Astrid? She's a pretty girl, but please give her a blonde wig or something. Her hair looks nothing like the real Astrid. I'm tired of diversity where there doesn't need to have diversity.
@@abigailgreening1188 ...and there's not single person of color that is full blooded Scandinavian either. I believe that is the point. This is a movie about VIKINGS and DRAGONS. I concede it is fiction though, which makes everyone's views moot.
He's so passionate about the movie, and all the characters look amazing, but it's hard to look past Astrids casting choice. She's so beautiful, but I couldn't recognize her as the character.. Can't wait to watch and see the movie
Don't speak for others, just because the actress who will play Astrid is not blonde like her original character, does not mean that she can give a bad performance of the character in the movie, we have to be thankful that Disney is not the one working on this live action movie, because if it were, the actress would surely be black, like many of Disney's live action movies: "Ariel, Pinocchio's Fairy Godmother, etc..."
those "people" are never happy. Used to own other people and they still weren't happy. Constitution said "yeah they can be people and vote now" and the other "people" weren't happy. MLK literally said "all lives matter" and they were so unhappy they shot his jaw off. How long are we supposed to bend over backwards to appease perpetually unhappy people who have done absolutely nothing to make others happy?
Africa was rich with gold and empires during viking times. Vikings are akin to caveman compared to almost every other part of the earth at the same time.
@@XykoVuciphierbecause they are people who never criticized because the character doesn't look alike except because of the skin color they simply hid it in an excuse but anyway she is not dark
Really? Your still complaining just be grateful give Nico a chance if she can bring the character to life and act as if she was in the animation movie then she will do just fine
Because white people nowadays are socially and culturally treated as less important, and somehow people have convinced themselves that it's okay. God forbid we actually get to be proud of our roots and heritage like every other population. It's really depressing honestly. I don't support any of the historical injustices that have happened to minority populations, but I reject this notion that white people are disallowed from being proud of our roots. It's really hurtful.
Again, they making the womans poorly. Ariel's not having Red Hair. Astrid not having Blonde. Yall hate white? Thats racist too. Bring me thrn, Princess Tiana as redhead.
Agree. She also doesn't look out of place, which was one of my biggest fears. And if you look closely she even has dark blond hair (as seen in the few loose strands). It just looks like brown because of the way it's styled. The tighter a braid and the smaller the strands for said braid, the darker the hair looks like (I know that from my own experience. I'm dark blond but in not perfect lighting or in tight braids it almost looks brown).
I KNEW THEY WERE GONNA RACE SWAP 😂😂😂first look and I had no doubt. They don’t have the balls to make a haunted mansion with white protagonists or a princess and the frog with barbie tho
considering they made the black princess a frog for 90% of the movie (a known trope that constantly happen to black characters-that being turned into animals) why should they? Give us a full movie with a real black disney princess who isn't a frog for the entire film then. This is the ONLY one and she's a freaking toad the whole time.
@@XykoVuciphier what movie earlier than 2009 (when P.A.T.F was released) did Disney make where an African American character turned to an animal? I loved P.A.T.F don’t get me wrong, but now it just seems like they’re doing this to be inclusive in shit that no one was complaining about in the first place. I highly doubt there were any Vikings of the new Astrid’s complexion. Just saying, when they weren’t trying so hard to be equal they were doing so much better (eg.. brother bear, Pocahontas, Aladdin, lilo & stitch)
@barxco2662 No problem. In all honesty, I do plan to watch the movie, believe it could be good, and while I am sure certain changes will grow on me, I allow myself to show concern now.
I love everything but is it very hard for you guys to four blond wigs?? Like why black and brown.. it ruins fishleg so much and the twins but astrid still has a little few blond stripes on her hair..
"black-skinned people and gay people aren't family friendly because my murderous white-based religious views that have killed billions across the earth are much better values"
I don’t care about how people think about hiccup and Astrid they Have the potential to succeed in their roles as the characters I have been a og how to train your dragon fan since 2010
Love how literally every other character is a near-perfect match down to the finest detail-except of course Astrid where they decided hitting the diversity quota was more important than fidelity to the original movie 😂
When it comes to characters like black panther, the actor must be black because it is intrinsic to the character. But a black can be just as white and represent that culture equally and faithful. The reverse would be cultural appropriation.
@@pariscastillo4911 You're an absolute fucktard if you can't see the logic in this argument. If it's not okay both ways, then it shouldn't be okay at all.
I honestlt dont mind race swapping Astrid however i think it could have been better if they at least kept her hair style and color from the animated one since it took me a minute to recognise who was Astrid
I have a problem with it, since this entire story is centered around a depiction of Nordic culture that tries to be very faithful to the cultural roots. It's fucking disrespectful.
@eduardocv3 It's not a new concept. The original folktale of "Aladdin" is set in China, but people associate it with Arabic culture long before the Disney movie because of the source material.
@@Grace0724 You don't give a fuck because you know white genes are recessive, meaning black features would be way more visible and win over them unless they're a tiny part of the dna. If it was the opposite, and black were the recessive, we both know youd complain a cast featuring a "25% white ancestry" but mainly white features despite that. Dont make me believe if was impossible to find a natural white blond girl with blue eyes and pale skin to fit astrid's role. Tell me how many NATURAL blond men and women with pale fair skin are showing us on screen, compared to all the italian/mediteranean ones dying their hair. You dont give a fuck about diversity when its about white.
@@Mulan-is-a-red-head And so what Astrid is a fictional character they can create her in many different ways either she's and with blonde hair or when she's Black with Black Hair
Don’t mind her skin (I don’t know how people can hate her I mean she isn’t even brown she is more white than me) but her hair bothers kind of but she still a good talented actress
Astrid is played by Nico Parker who previously played Millie in Dumbo (2019). She hardly looks colored to me and her hair looks blonde if you look at her closely.
Will everyone just quit complaining about Astrid not looking historically accurate!? If you want every single film that way, say goodbye to the dragons.
Cant it be to late to recast the movie is already done filming and idc what you say about Nico Parker playing Astrid and if you don't like her playing the role then just delete your comment and move on
And they said that they were not criticizing because of the color but because they wanted to see the characters just like the movie. Bro, are you blind? She is white, the bad thing is her hair and it is not blonde.
Astrid IS in the movie, she’s just played by somebody with brunette hair. I feel sad that they couldn’t have provided her with a blonde wig or something of the sort. Her facial features look so similar to Astrid’s as well as her skin tone (which isn’t black as some people have been mentioning.) It had a lot of potential, but they kept the brunette colour 😢
Dont worry, this actress has experience playing blonde characters, if im not wrong she plays the blonde daughter from the main character from the last of us.
@@rocan2022 If you want to make a nazi super hero movie, there's nothing stopping your mediocre ass except the fact you're only doing it to be petty towards black people and that even you know it's evil but you don't care. So go ahead and make your aryan movie and watch even 50% of white people say "nah that's fucked up."
What if we made Mulan a white,freckled,redhead?! no because that would be going against the culture of the story! it’s racist, this is racist! 😭 Please recast Astrid!!! it’s nothing against the actor personally! I’m sure she’s a great actor, but she’s not Norwegian!
My wife has been depressed and crying since she found out about this i dont know what to do. Astrid was her favorite character and now theyve canceled her
@@mohamedAgacem that's a literal full ass woman who is approaching 30 years old. You guys would literally choose the oldest blonde white lady over any black actress. Just shows you don't give a crap about if the actress actually fits the character so long as its a white person for everything.
@@XykoVuciphier 1-Nothing against the actress 2-Nico Parker is mixed race and looks very white especially in bright lightning so They could have dyed her hair blonde and gave her blue eye contacts to Wear but They didn't 3-the problem isn't that no one wants actors of color to have roles, it's that these actors of color are being cast for remakes as already existing characters that we know how they looked originally is different from the way these actors of color look 4-instead of making New stuff and casting actors of color in them, studios are banking on nostalgia because They can't man up and take a creative risk on something original, so They're just remaking old stuff and changing the race of white characters to earn inclusivity points
I don't mind Nico as Astrid, but I wish they would have at least had her dye her hair blonde or partially blonde for the part so she's more identifiable as her. Her skin is pretty light so it honestly would look good on her. Same thing was done for the actress who played Katniss so it's not like it hasn't been done before.
tired of all the remakes having to push DEI cast down our throats to please the woke mob. There are plenty of wonderful blonde actors who could have been cast as Astrid…keep to the original story. This is just going to be another “little mermaid” mess.
@@beepboop1759 Not exactly. When they redid "The Little Mermaid," they switched the setting from a European based kingdom to a Carribean based one. The "How To Train Your Dragon" remake still takes place in a Viking based location.
I am terribly disappointed ...Astrid is Scandinavian. I loved that Astrid was a blue eyed blonde, because she held none of the blonde stereotypes! She was badass and fierce and intelligent! As a Swedish person, it’s sad to see people discard other cultures ...why in the live-action did she became black?? They’re literally trying to fight racism with racism and it’s just wrong.
@@sseepptteemmbbeerr The original film was like 90% stereotypes. Those horned helmets are a Victorian romanticizatinon, and a common trope in media was that Vikings were abnormally strong and aggressive.
I rather have Astrid have brown hair then having darker skin that would've been a way worse change to her character design! I'm hoping though they change up some of the events that happen in the story to make it more fresh and not to similar to the original movie. Remakes can be a great way to show a different outcome of a story and if they do it right they might be on to something good fingers crossed!
Also she has at least partly blonde hair as her loose strands are blonde and in good lighting her hair also looks like dark blond. Could be the hairstyle that she has for most of the scenes that makes her hair look so darker than it is. And at 2:14 her hair looks (dark) blond.
To be honest Astrid in her human form is fine but at least make her outfit a bit similar to her outfit in the actual movie. I need to feel nostalgia, but I’m just not feeling any but I think this is gonna be a great movie even though there’s some things that have changed. I think I could stick with it kinda
Ok this looks cool I hope live action hiccup and Astrid have a sweet ending moment like the animated movie franchise third movie how to train your dragon 3
No disrespect to Nico Parker playing Astrid, I’m sure she’ll be fantastic but why do they only switch the race of female characters? And why are they never any other race like Asian, or Native, etc? Again, Nico Parker will be AMAZING but,,,, was there really not a Scandinavian actress that performed just as good?
@@Grace0724 And among the whole amount of natural blond white skined girl, it must have been her for NO IDEOLOGICAL REASON AT ALL. You know what? Lets play the same game with every asian/black characters, lets choose the white ones with a bit a their features and say "but it was the best actor, no asian/black could do this!". Remind me of a white male or female characters with NATURAL very pale/fair skins and blue eyes which plays main characters among the 99% of latino ones using dye to look like them please? We should stop using black people and tan our skin and curl our hairs instead, like if they didnt exist as well, I'm sure they'll love it.
@ that games already been played multiple times Angelina Jolie as Mariane Pearl Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson Juliette Binoche as Maria Segovia Laurence Olivier as Othello Emma Stone played someone of Hawaiian and Asian descent in “Aloha.” Scarlet Johansson played a Japanese character in Ghost in the Shell Jake Gyllenhal played the Prince of Persia by Disney Jonny depp played a Native American in lone ranger John Wayne as Genghis Khan Russell Crowe as Noah Ben Affleck as Antonio J. Mendez Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi Natalie Wood as Marianfeom west side story Katharine Hepburn as Jade in the film dragon seed Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra Jim Sturgess as Jeffrey Ma Christian Bale as Moses Liam Neeson as Ra's Al Ghul Boris Karloff as Dr. Fu Manchu And that’s not an exhaustive list by any means. Yet there was no outcry like there is here!
@@Grace0724 No outcry suuurreee. There IS ton of outcry for that. And from the LEFT. So double standard? Also it was made in a time were USA were very very mostly white, like indians characters plays white european characters in india, or chiness characters plays them as well. They do cause they're FEW within the country. Also I wont go after each exemple one by one but I already know stuff on your list are fake propaganda like "cleopatra not white", the black cleopatra bullshit, while she's a ptolemy and all representation of them in ancient time are super white AND roots in ancient greece
Another thing, why are English and Scottish actors playing Vikings? Don't you think that is an insult to Scandinavian people. Why can't they cast only SCANDINAVIAN actors from NORDIC countries. I hope you know the English and Scottish were massive enemies of the Vikings.
Literally all the comments are about her hair, and I have to agree that I will miss her blond hair. I love the movies and although I think live actions are cool, what would be even cooler was if rather then just turning old movies into live action, that they would just make new great movies. And rather then replacing characters looks with new ones so that they can be inclusive, why don’t they just make new awesome movies where the main character looks like how they want. If they want to make movies with other races, why don’t they give them their own movie with their own story, rather then replacing other characters looks. People would be really upset if the race switch was the other way around…
To me it doesint matter the actresses appearance as long as she has the spirit of astrid and i like her look in this. And i like the original to me its an adaptation to be enjoyed.
Gonna be honest, i was a little disappointed about the castings, but i took a step back and im gonna trust in dean deblois's judgement on this one. He knows these characters better than anyone but creator, cressida cowell,so who am i to judge against it. Lets hope im right, cos im really looking forward to tnis.

If they’re going to lean into the Scandinavian roots, they could draw from that realism and still keep the fantasy elements ofc. I wish they’d taken more creative risks to make this version feel unique, like how the animated movies reinvented the books. That’s what made the original HTTYD so special, it took inspiration and built something new. I do like some changes, though, like the twins not being identical and Astrid’s look being slightly different. It feels more grounded and less cartoony while still keeping the heart of the story.
Astrid is the 2nd main character and extremely popular compared to Fishlegs, that’s why. The fans were wanting for blonde blue eyed actress to get play her and were rightfully pissed! 🥱
@@SeanWalker15 Yeah, you're allowed to be pissed, I get it-I'm a bit annoyed too, especially also since we’re getting a remake and still no new 'School of Dragons' game. But youse shouldn’t focus on just one character because they’re more popular. Even if Fishlegs isn’t as popular as Astrid, for crying out loud, he’s played by a Polynesian actor, which is a bigger change. It feels kind of hypocritical to single out Astrid while ignoring Fishlegs’ casting. If no one’s complaining about that, then it’s only fair to leave Astrid alone too, or just go watch the show and the original films.

Don't speak for others, just because the actress who will play Astrid is not blonde like her original character, does not mean that she can give a bad performance of the character in the movie, we have to be thankful that Disney is not the one working on this live action movie, because if it were, the actress would surely be black, like many of Disney's live action movies: "Ariel, Pinocchio's Fairy Godmother, etc..."

I’m not racist, and am black myself but WHY DID THEY GET A DARK HAIRED BLACK GIRL TO ACT AS THE WHITE BLONDE GIRL
Because white people nowadays are socially and culturally treated as less important, and somehow people have convinced themselves that it's okay. God forbid we actually get to be proud of our roots and heritage like every other population. It's really depressing honestly. I don't support any of the historical injustices that have happened to minority populations, but I reject this notion that white people are disallowed from being proud of our roots.

Agree.
She also doesn't look out of place, which was one of my biggest fears. And if you look closely she even has dark blond hair (as seen in the few loose strands). It just looks like brown because of the way it's styled. The tighter a braid and the smaller the strands for said braid, the darker the hair looks like (I know that from my own experience. I'm dark blond but in not perfect lighting or in tight braids it almost looks brown).
I KNEW THEY WERE GONNA RACE SWAP 😂😂😂first look and I had no doubt. They don’t have the balls to make a haunted mansion with white protagonists or a princess and the frog with barbie tho
The girl is white damn she has no black in her. yall see someone who looks black and assume their black.
considering they made the black princess a frog for 90% of the movie (a known trope that constantly happen to black characters-that being turned into animals) why should they?
Give us a full movie with a real black disney princess who isn't a frog for the entire film then. This is the ONLY one and she's a freaking toad the whole time.

1-Nothing against the actress
2-Nico Parker is mixed race and looks very white especially in bright lightning so They could have dyed her hair blonde and gave her blue eye contacts to Wear but They didn't
3-the problem isn't that no one wants actors of color to have roles, it's that these actors of color are being cast for remakes as already existing characters that we know how they looked originally is different from the way these actors of color look
4-instead of making New stuff and casting actors of color in them, studios are banking on nostalgia because They can't man up and take a creative risk on something original, so They're just remaking old stuff and changing the race of white characters to earn inclusivity points
I don't mind Nico as Astrid, but I wish they would have at least had her dye her hair blonde or partially blonde for the part so she's more identifiable as her. Her skin is pretty light so it honestly would look good on her. Same thing was done for the actress who played Katniss so it's not like it hasn't been done before.
Her hair is blonde. It's just mixed with the rest of her hair as braids which actually makes sense for Vikings

I'm hoping though they change up some of the events that happen in the story to make it more fresh and not to similar to the original movie. Remakes can be a great way to show a different outcome of a story and if they do it right they might be on to something good fingers crossed!
Also she has at least partly blonde hair as her loose strands are blonde and in good lighting her hair also looks like dark blond. Could be the hairstyle that she has for most of the scenes that makes her hair look so darker than it is. And at 2:14 her hair looks (dark) blond.
I don't know what people are complaining about. Astrid's live-action actress looks fine. The only difference is that she's not blonde.

Literally all the comments are about her hair, and I have to agree that I will miss her blond hair. I love the movies and although I think live actions are cool, what would be even cooler was if rather then just turning old movies into live action, that they would just make new great movies. And rather then replacing characters looks with new ones so that they can be inclusive, why don’t they just make new awesome movies where the main character looks like how they want.
If they want to make movies with other races, why don’t they give them their own movie with their own story, rather then replacing other characters looks.
People would be really upset if the race switch was the other way around…
