Crocodile tears 💧🐊
Even if you go along with THW’s narrative and think it’s a fine movie, how can a fan look at the art book and not feel even a little bit upset about the things written in it?

Exactly!
There are multiple quotes from the art book like >
“Hiccup thinks of Toothless as a human friend but has come to the realization that he’s not. Toothless is a wild animal.”
“Hiccup building the tail for Toothless so he can fly solo is slightly naive.” “It’s like when your kids get the keys to the car.”
These quotes just feel like they’re just simplifying Hiccup’s and Toothless’ friendship and portraying it like a person and their regular pet animal when their friendship has shown to be so much more than that and contridicts all of the human-like intelligence that Toothless has shown in understanding Hiccup in the past two movies.
There’s also stuff about Hiccup being possessive of Toothless and the dragons in general that annoy me >
“ Though Hiccup has the best intentions in creating a dragon utopia, Grimmel brings up some interesting contradictions to this effort. Is it really normal for Hiccup to keep all the dragons to himself? Is he trying to change their true nature? Shouldn’t they live in the wild?”
As if the dragons are being kept on Berk against their will and they can’t just leave the island whenever they feel like it, the only dragon that can’t is Toothless and he intentionally destroyed the tail fin that helped him do that before and has never shown an interest in flying solo.
There’s also the quotes about the Deathgrippers, portraying the entire species as “bad” but at the same time having all of the Deathgrippers being held hostage by Grimmel and drugged into submission by him >
“This is the first movie where we got to think about creating “bad dragons.”
“When a bad human comes into the picture- someone like Grimmel- he can turn evil dragons into something even worse.”
You can’t say an entire species is “evil” just because of their diet and because they’re more aggressive than other dragons (especially if they’re now saying that the dragons are all just wild animals), in real life we don’t say that the majority of predators are evil just because they hunt and eat meat.
And then there’s all of the quotes about the development of the light fury and how they had to “make her feel like a female” and for some reason it’s “more difficult to create a female character than it is to draw a male. For a female, any incorrect line and the shape can go wrong very quickly.” They also didn’t want her to “fall too much into the reptilian category” despite the fact that she is a winged reptile.
Sorry about the amount of writing I wrote in this, a lot of these quotes from the art book just don’t sit right with me.
Hello this is “Pleasant Beginnings” AU where PK saw the problem with the moth tribe converting to his light and went to have a serious chat the Radiance instead of ignoring her and almost letting her die so as a result WL and PK had a chance to have actual kids.
and “Hollow” is happy
