Favourite HTTYD quote?
"Maybe all kings should bear the slavemark to show that they're slaves to their people and not the other way around."
I think the reason people are using dreamworks to hate on Disney is because Dreamworks relies on more of a fantasy element where there's magic and fairies and it's all set in the past or in a magic land where everything's interesting whereas Disney relies on pixar and Marvel to make shitty movies that all have the same character tropes and the same morals that are all set in the modern world or the future
Dreamworks can acknowledge that people don't really like the present because of the whole screen addiction thing so they stick to a timeline and a theme where screens are rarely and sometimes never necessary while Disney likes to focus on being inclusive so they modernise all their stories.
Also Dreamworks is more open to experimental work and the animators have more creative freedom to draw things in different styles or give the characters different features and personalities and details and little mannerisms and habits (Take Hiccup for example: handicapped, left handed, talks with his hands alot, adventurous, smart but stupid about it, very peaceful) while all Disney's characters are hollow and a sort if copy and paste theme.
Dreamworks takes more risks to put out movies with plots and characters that no ones ever seen before while Disney just takes stories they've already done, changes up the characters a little bit and them adds a message about generational trauma.
This leads to my rant about how much I hate httyd 3.
The soundtrack was too melodramatic. And the visuals were all bright and colourful to get the attention of 2 year olds. The light fury design was pathetic. The only reason the light fury exists is to be Toothless's girlfriend. Then they went against everything they'd worked for within the first 2 movies. In the first 2 it was all about how Hiccup and Toothless are bestfriends and stick together no matter what. That was even the moral in the 2 shows, first Christmas special and one of the short spin off films. But the third movie went against all of that and made them separate. It ruined the trilogy! The second movie however. The soundtrack fit perfectly for each scene and the colour scheme was perfect. In the scenes where Hiccup discovered his mother and the bewilderbeast nest the colours are appropriate and bright while not bombarding the screen with flashing lights and colours while the scenes featuring Drago had a more dark and sinister colour scheme, as well as the music becoming more heavy and ominous. Where as in the hidden world the colour scheme always had bright colours which made it feel less dark and scary. They modernised the Viking age so that it would be more appealing to younger generations. But the thing about the how to train your dragon fan base is that it mostly consists of people aged 12-27.
When I was 4 I had just grasped the concept of reality and the first thing I did was watch how to train your dragon and in the scene where stoick is yelling at Hiccup and disowns him for having a dragon I got so scared I started shaking
Thank you to everyone for sticking with me as I shuffle through hyperfixations like they’re a deck of cards ! It really means a lot to me :o)
My favourite part about my hero is the fact Bakugo is literally just a guy. He's got no soul crushing backstory, he's got married parents with well paying jobs, he's always been highly respected by his peers and the one thing that could've been used to a traumatic backstory (the sludge monster) no one takes seriously because of the hey UA video and I honestly don't think it traumatised him that bad cus that's pretty much the only time it's ever brought up and it's done so in a comedic light. Even the fandom reaches to give this kid a struggle so we all just decided he's hard of hearingand got PTSD from the sludge monster. HE reaches to give himself a backstory. That's why he hates Deku for helping him out of the creek. And the best part? HIM BEING LITERALLY JUST A GUY IS PIVOTAL IN HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ARC
