User blog comment:Googlydoe/Can I have an explaination as to why Dragons: Riders of Berk is "so GOOD"?!/@comment-24621435-20140730003251/@comment-1438304-20140730024634

On the topic or credentials I almost always get near perfect grades in the college courses (and all my professors say that if it weren't for my dyslexia I'd proably get perfect grades)

I know you are an Admin here, but this is a wiki based site, and that can be a good and bad thing, I've seen it work against someone in a discussion in terms of backing up points. This is largly do to the fact these sites are so easy to edit, and the larger ones can be hard to maintain with a small staff. so even if the Admin is very good in terms of managment and analysing plot and characters, which I don't doubt you are, can have it turned around on them if their is an oversight on their part or if they have problem users, this one I have personal experience with on other wiki's, a few problem users can hurt the credabilty of an entire community....and this is me going off on a different tangent from the orginal question. It's just gnerally not a good idea to use that as a supporting point in these types of discussion, as they can potientailly back fire, just a note that I've learned the hard way see backfire on me in the past.Not saying that is the case in this situation, but it's a good bit of information for the future, especilly if you ever become less active here and have less influence or information on the the wiki's current state.

Just for the record I wasn't trying to get into a "Who is better at anyalysising characters" contest, I was using it as a point to say that not all people who do so cringe at the show. You may have better quailifications than most, but as do I and number of other people, but we all draw differnt opinions on the show. Some love it and like it far better than either of us, other's (a personal friend of mine actually) despise the show and see it as absoultly horrendious. The point is just that many people with similar skills sets can draw vastly differnt opinions on the same thing.This also works to as why I couldn't just take your word in it, people can take the same tv series and draw compelty differnt opinion on it.

As for Hiccup personailty change. I've noted that as well, but I feel it was done for specific reasons, mostly to show his newfound confidence and to show that he's actully managed to become "one of the guys", as to where in the film he was an outcast who made quips to defend himself from openly hostile peers. Now, he's friends (more or less) with them, and now can behave in a more familiar and direct way with them. Now that they are seen more as peers, he gives back what they give him, they may be be throwing barbs at each other, but it's gone from bully and victim, to two peers bickering. He may seem a bit harshers, but the fundemental relationship between them has changed, as has his general position in the town. He now is the town authority on dragons, rather than the oddball out cast.

This is an example of how differnt opinions/views can be drawn from the same information. I see this sort of thing in many of my reading anlysis classes, differnt views on the same materail, but in their own way, they are both correct.

As for Hiccup and Astrid's relationship. I completly agree on this point, they act WAy different than what they would be in actuality, they were pretty much in an established relationship at the end of the film. This point on concede and agree on completly. I get the reasoning as to why it was changed, but it seemed awkward and was one of the points the show definitly could of handeled better.

I don't even know why I'm continuing this. We essentilly have the same opinion of the show, the only difference really comes down what was probely different expectation levels.

Well I leave this as the end, nice discussing somthing with someone who actully supports their points with fact rather than just open hostility.
