User blog comment:Googlydoe/Can I have an explaination as to why Dragons: Riders of Berk is "so GOOD"?!/@comment-3230751-20140730194633

Ok, so... I'm just gonna post some links that point out some of the flaws in the series. These are from some really fantastic analysts who outclass me in many ways, including the co-founder of Berksgrapevine. Now, if you just LOVE the series, you may not want to read these, but if you are completely convinced that the series is flawless and can be taken as being equally cannon with the movies... perhaps you should give these a shot. I believe they do a good job supporting their arguments, and in almost every case I agree with them. So, again just in my and these others' opinions, the series was fine, but I wouldn't ever call it great or flawless, and if people don't like the series then I can easily appreciate their feelings. So, without further yakking, here are some really good posts concerning the series and how it had some problems that were not caused by budget, but by a lack of careful writing and characterization. Oh, and many of these people (not inhonoredglory) would probably happily strike up a conversation with you if you gave them a comment.

Hiccup's "arrogance," Toothless merely a pet in RoB (by inhonoredglory):
