I'd mostly make changes to HTTYD 1.

Make the Tribe more sympathetic - in the actual film, I was hoping that the Red Death would kill them all except Gobber.

Make Hiccup more flawed - he's a bloody Gary Stu in the 1st Movie.

Re-write Hiccstrid into a more coherent relationship. Which includes rewriting Astrid into a better character.

Have "Camicazi" be Astrid's middle name.

Make the other kids more sympathetic, complex and useful.

Re-write Snotlout and the Twins into better characters.

Give dragons the ability to communicate - albeit with some difficulty.

Make Hiccup taller than Astrid and Fishlegs - he's taller than they are in the books.

Make it absolutely clear the first time to the audience that the Red Death is evil.

Yep, that's pretty much it.
