*HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2* shattered me 

Third one? Yes or no?

When Stoick tells his wife "You are as beutiful as the day I lost you" breaks me every time

Hiccup has a one parent limit.

The writers revealed that Drago found the bewilderbeast when it was still an egg. He tortured it as a baby and use fear to control it.

The way Hiccup snapped at Toothless after he killed Stoick just shattered my heart

“Who’s fucking with vikings on the backs of dragons??” People who have seen the serieses after the first movie are like “u want the long list or the short?? “

Valka sums it up pretty well with, "Good dragons under the control of bad people". Oh and at 33:40, Drago basically lets Hiccup try and save Toothless because he's arrogant/confident enough that he just WON'T be able to.

No spoilers . But the 3rd one will make you cry even more 😭. How to train your dragon 3 was the best way to end the trilogy

27:48 The way toothless doesn’t know what happened.. and is so concerned and then he is yelled at by Hiccup.. IT BREAKS MY HEART

This movie made me bawl almost, and Im a 31 year old Marine with combat experience. It's one of the greatest animated trilogy I've ever seen.

25:49 Drago uses a real technique that is fear based and is often used to control elephants irl in some countries. It is not humane. 👀

I love the duality of the alpha dragon in the first film, having all the weaker dragons feeding it, whilst this alpha feeds the pack.

the way that Alex compares Stoicks death to his pizza was the best part

im tearing up then alex goes on about his dog eating his pizza, im dying lmao

Honestly Alex, you and your editor deserve so much more credit and recognition. Y’all’s content is the highlight of my day not to mention an amazingly positive way to end the day. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re making a lot of peoples days a whole lot better

If you watch the Netflix series, Race to the Edge, you will love Stoick so much which makes his death in this movie hit so much harder.

Not Alex relating his dog eating his pizza with Toothless killing Stoic BAAAHHAHHAAJAAJA i was crying then started laughing

Fun fact: Valka was originally a villain for a short while due to it being closer to what happens in the books, there is a deleted scene that shows the alternate version

13:06 For clarity and sanity's sake, breastplate covers the entite chest and back, as well as under the arms. They usually come in a front/back split in two pieces, but some from specific regions or craft are single pieces that are worn like a vest. The viking version consists of several metal plates over a leather tunic that segment together either as large plates or scales. This was uncommom as its bulky

I love how he always wonders who would fuck with vikings on dragons when there's literally a six season show about people fucking with vikings on dragons

Alex you got to watch the two animated series in the How To Train Your Dragon universe. • Riders of Berk - it takes place shortly after the first movie and the gang training their dragons with other treats. • Race to the Edge - also takes place before the second movie but some time has passed and new threats in unfamiliar areas.

You definitely need to watch the third one.

Dude yes, your beloved pet dragon killing your father against its will is EXACTLY like your dog eating your whole pizza. So cool how these kinds of movies can cause us to relive these traumatic experiences and recover from them through the power of storytelling.

Fun Fact : it was gobber who was supposed to die but the writers felt it was not emotional enough and changed it to stoic

When this notification popped up I thought it said “how to drain your dragon” and I think that means whatever Alex has that makes him the way he is has spread

Would be so great to see you cover the 'Kung Fu Panda' trilogy, as well. Thanks so much. 🧡

The 2nd How to Train Your Dragon was probably one of my favorite movies ever... and I am 40 year old. The arcs of the characters, the story, the dragons, Hiccup's relationship with his girl and father... finding his mother and the war of dragons. There is no greater story plot in two movies except for Back to the Future 2 and Aliens. Greatest all time second movie of a trilogy ever.

8:13 haha the bad dragon comment he is so innocent it’s insane

Fun fact: You keep saying it and it is true. Toothless‘s animations are inspired by cats. They wanted to make him as cute as possible and they thought That baby cats are the most cute living beings so That was the inspiration and the goal.

The thing I love most about the story of movie 1 and 2, is the character development of Stoic and Hiccup. In a way they very much mirrored eachother; Stoic in the first movie wouldn't listen to Hiccup, which nearly cost him Hiccup, as his wish for killing the dragons put Hiccup in a life threatening situation, meanwhile Hiccup needed to do something drastic to prove himself and get his father to listen to him. In the second movie, Hiccup isn't listening to his father's warning of Draco, and gets himself put in an even more dangerous situation. So his father, because of the person he is and of his fear of losing Hiccup due to his mistake from the first movie, looses his life. Which Hiccup now has to live with and grow from. I think its an amazing parallel.

I like all the editor's notes, it adds some extra commentary and comedy. Props to the editor 💜

This trilogy is arguably one of the greatest Animated Trilogies of all time. OF COURSE WATCH THE THIRD MOVIE

also interesting fact drago can control his alpha because he trained it from when it was a small baby using pain its the same way they used to train elephants the animal is smart enough to understand that if it sees the bullhook (the hook he waves around while shouting) and hears drago scream he better obey or there could be pain but the animal isn't smart enough to reassess the situation and that it is bigger then drago or the trainer so it simply just remembers i do as I'm told or hell use the hook to cause me great pain like when i was very small. also i love the little details in this movie like how we see papa hiccup and drago fighting mirroring the alphas fighting and it also explains why mamma hiccup liked the alpha so much it was essentially a dragon version of her husband (a strong leader who protects his own, with the shape of a big beard). also that the alpha loses his horn arm mirroing that drago lost his left arm (same as how hiccup lost his leg on the same side as toothlesses tail fin)

Fun fact: At the end of the movie, Hiccup actually threw the black sheep into Astrid's basket and not in his own

Drago's "bad dragon" he rides acts like that and listens to him because he raised him from an egg. He ended up raising and training the dragon through fear with the staff that he holds throughout the movie. You can actually see a slight hesitation in his dragon's actions when Draco drops the staff at 31:26-31:37 and how he doesn't react immediately. Drago's dragon finally stopped listening to him once Toothless became the new Alpha of all of the dragons. Also the dragons turn "bad" through the Alpha's mind control, that is very specific to the Bewilderbeast dragons or the other Alpha in control. I would also recommend watching the third movie as well. The attention to detail is even more crazy then in the second one. Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a good day!

that no teeth image of Alex is one of the scariest things I've ever seen in my life.

A little note about Dragos alpha, he had found the alpha from before it was hatched and it was quite literally abused and scared into submission, it basically grew up knowing to fear and obey drago. So definitely not the dragons fault

Toothless gives crazy "Godzilla if he was a domesticated cat" vibes

Breastplates are just armor that goes across the torso so it makes sense how it can make a helmet

1st Movie - Parents learn to listen to new ideas. (we don't have to fight) 2nd Movie - Kids learn to listen to experience. (sometimes we have no choice but to fight)

Like they have said in the first movie they are exactly like bees. If you have a bad tempered queen in a beehive the bees are going to be bad tempered. If the queen is nice they Will be nice. 😢 I loved this movie.

Fun fact: the guy who voices Eret is Kit Harington who plays John Snow in Game of Thrones!!

8:14 "Are there such things as bad dragons?" Oh alex you sweet summer child you...

“Are there really bad dragons or just the people controlling them?” Guess someone’s never heard of bad dragon before😂😅

“I love Stoic but I feel like his breath smells like shit” My soul fuckin left me🤣🤣🤣

“Drago sounds like he sucks” yeah because he very much does lmao

For an order of greatness, I actually think they're all on par with each other, each one tells a unique story and the story gets more mature as it progresses.

"Who's fucking with vikings on the backs of dragons?" Me who's seen the shows: A lot. A lot of people.

I really suggest u to watch the series cause they expand on the lore and dragons so much. Like a lot of dragon are really cool, and also the characters bonds

11:36 Breaks my HEART EVERY-TIME

"What kind of Statue of Liberty from Hell is that?" I'm dead 😂

Stoick dying to toothless trying to save his sons life. Alex: that reminds me of that one time my dog ate my pizza

Alex asking about "Bad Dragons" scared me. Stay innocent Alex, stay innocent.

Stoick's death absolutely traumatised me as a kid...

The director said that this film is the "Empire Strikes Back" of the Dragon trilogy

The first thing Hiccup said to his dad: I'm sorry dad... The last thing Hiccup said to his dad: I'm sorry dad...

The random beef he has with the dreamworks logo is so funny😭

Hiccup: Just watched his dad die Alex five seconds later: "My dog ate my pizza"

I don't think that was excessive in explaining how badly a dog owner feels when realizing how poorly scolding was as a reaction, all you did was scare your baby and immediately resent yourself to a degree parallel to a child😂

I would rank the films: 2,1,3 but don't get me wrong the third movie is still really good, just the weakest of the trilogy

I hate that this didn't make the edit, but at 5:50 when Astrid kissed Hiccup, she was grossed out because Toothless had just licked Hiccup and Hiccup never washed off the slimy saliva.

The teaser for this movie was the scene of Hiccup and Toothless flying over the ocean and into the clouds to that one shot of Hiccup taking his helmet off, the entire fandom went completely rabid. I'm still standing by the fact that we had to wait 5yrs for it.

stoick is one of my favorite characters, and easily one of my favorite media dads

8:14 "Are there such things as bad dragons?" I'm dead

It’s interesting watching someone who didn’t watch the series react to how the characters grew up.

I wanna say that the editor did a great job 🎉

Big props to the editor of this video.

"Is there such a thing as Bad Dragons?" Editor missed such an easy lay-up there.

You should watch Togo. It's a movie uncovering the truth about the 1925 Alaska run for serum. As everyone knows balto is ,,the hero,, who saved everyone. It's not true, Togo was the one who practically ran the entire distance till falling from exhaustion and was forgotten. It's a great, wholesome, inspiring and a little heart breaking movie about his whole story that deserves recognition, it's really amazing❤

It is the most badass How To Train Your Dragon movie of all of them. Light spoiler: The blue glow on Toothless you see is later revealed in How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World to be his ability to generate lightning and move as quick as lightning.

I’ve seen each of the movies more than ten times and I still get chills for every movie

Toothless Alex is basically a horror villain.

the way the bewilderbeast look at volka is an incredible detail

Stoic's reaction to seeing his wife will always be one of my favorite movie scenes. She thinks he will be angry, rage at her or worse, and his reaction is just pure love for the wife he thought he lost. It's so beautifully done.

YES YOU SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH THE 3rd ONE IF THS ONE BROKE YOUR HEART!!! YOUR HEART IS HOING TO SHADDER IN THE 3rd ONE

the amount of tears and goosebumps alex is going to have for the third one, will be nuts.

everyone deserves to be traumatised by this film at least once in their life

So cool little fact and a spoiler from the series so avoid if you dont want to see it: The second bewilderbeast that kills the first is actually the child of the one that died, in the series they try to protect the egg but fail.

YES! Finally! I LOVE your "How to train your dragon" reactions! 😍❤

How to train your dragon has to be the best Dreamworks has ever created.

"This is too happy, someones gonna die" That Broke Me.

You should watch Dragons: Race to the Edge before #3! Its set between movie #1 and this one. It shows them bonding with the dragons and learning how to fight with them, etc. It was really awesome and will give you a ton more context before watching #3.

11:18 "Statue of Liberty from Hell" XD Haven't heard that one before lmao

The animation in these movies is absolutely incredible. Each one introduced totally revolutionary techniques that have become industry standard, but were revolutionary at the time: the fire in particular was INSANELY advanced, but also things they did to Toothless's rig to make him move the way they do, things like the physics simulations for sand/dirt/snow, and various lighting and atmospheric techniques to make the flight scenes look as good as they do were all absolutely jaw-dropping. They're still incredibly impressive today, but when they came out? Nobody had even IMAGINED 3-d animated movies pulling off some of the things the HTTYD trilogy does.

12:53 Alex gasping in shock while being in-sync with the choir in the background is certainly a highlight

The amount of cute aggression you have over Toothless is cracking me up.

You should also watch the shows. "Dragons: Race to the Edge", "Dragons: Riders of Berk", and "Dragons: Defenders of Berk"

Killing a father... Eating a pizza... Same thing

The 3rd movie will make you cry tears of sadness and joy Also, if you watch the TV series Riders of Berk (2 seasons) and the most important series Race to the Edge (6 seasons) you will see when they meet Skullcrusher and other dragons, and at the end of the series how it ties into the 2nd movie.

4:55 funny you should mention that, because this movie was made when Dreamworks had done a complete overhaul to their animation and rendering software, with one of the major improvements being facial muscle deformation.

Order of greatness is 2, 1, 3. But in an overall sense, I think we all agree this is the best trilogy ever and there a no disappointing bits.

Bro the frkn music during Stoick's send off 28:45 is ao beautiful.

I love the editors notes on the top corner. Genuinely makes the vids 10 times better

You will not be disappointed by the 3rd. This is one of the rare SOLID trilogies.

I love these movies. If you felt like crying in this one wait for the next one. I cry every time I watch it.

When gobber says this and one other reason he means hes gay. Hes cannonicaly gay

As visually beautiful as this movie is, Alex is going to lose his mind with the 3rd film - The Hidden World is a technical marvel of 3D animation and every single scene has so much detail, stunning dynamic lighting, and such realistic camera work that its literally awe-inspiring.

Toothless moved so much like a cat! I’d read a while ago that it’s because one of the animators has a black cat that behaves just like that

The third movie doesn't quite live up to the first two...until the end. The end is perfect. Dreamworks animation went through a huge amount of layoffs and cancelations during its production, and I think that all had a lot to do with the dip in quality. It's a good movie, just less good than the other two. But that ending is so, so, so worth it.

not me instantly tearing up when stoic said "you're as beautiful as the day i lost you" TT
