"If those people know right from the start you're an expert animal trainer that can calm the lion down, then sure. They don't intervene. But if they don't...Yeah, most would still call help or intervene. Your word isn't always good enough."

Even though words weren't enough, Hiccup was successfully calming a Monstrous Nightmare, one of the deadliest dragons the vikings ever knew. But then the idiots butted in and it all went to south.

"But people who buy a pet generally prefer an animal that is healthy, over one that isn't."

You do know that zoos try their damn hardest to take care of all their animals, regardless of their health, right?

Maybe you're right about the strategies...

"We know some governments are terrible or even cruel, but we don't step in directly because we don't have the resources for it, or because we aren't willing to sacrifice the lives of our own people for another country."

In the minds of thr morally righteous, holding back is wrong. In fact why don't we just ally together with those who are in agreement with our righteous causes and take down the cruel enemy?

Politics are now just used as an excuse to sit back and watch the world burn.

Alright, your point is proven about the cause of the Nightmare's destruction.

"It shows there are worse parents out there. It's no excuse, but it was unfortunately how it worked on that era."

That may be true, but Stoick was an abusive parent and Spitelout continues to be an abusixve parent.

And don't use historical facts to defend a movie that takes a huge amount of historical artistic license in its plot and characters.

"To me, a badly written character is a character that is either unnecessary or has potential, but there is nothing done with it."

You see?! That's just it!

Snotlout and Spitelout have only become bearable in the 2nd Movie.

I'll accept the fact that they were still stupid and refused to change their attitudes at the end of the 1st Movie.

However, in the show they have yet to actually develop into the likable, useful characters that we see in the 2nd Movie.
