User blog:Megadracosaurus/STOP HATING STOICK!!!

I recently looked through many HTTYD-Forums, and everyone seems to hate Stoick for disowning Hiccup, and how much of a 'bad Parent' he was. So I made a blog about it.

I personally think, though Stoick should have listened, his reaction was completely understandeble. He is a good Chief and a good father, and its not just his fault. Its Hiccup's too!

Think about it from Stoick's point of view: His own son had 'betrayed' his Tribe, by befriending one of the creatures he thought killed his wife and almost killed him and Hiccup when he was a baby. So it only makes sense he wants to keep him away of Dragons. He was Trying to protect Hiccup. And Stoick did love Hiccup, as was shown multiple times. If he didn't care or hated Hiccup, did you think he would let Hiccup live after he 'betrayed him'? Do you think he would have put him in Dragon Training? Would he have taken his son back? Would he be so heartbroken after disowning him? Would he willingly sacrifice his own life for Hiccup's, resulting in his own death, as he did in the second film? I don't think so.

And. I hate everyone always Thinks Hiccup did NOTHING wrong. It was his fault as much as Stoick! As Stoick, Gobber and Astrid said, he never listened, even to good advice! Heck, in the opening of the film, he Destroys half of the Village, releases all the Dragons and endangers everyone's life! Plus, he could be kind of a jerk with his sarcastic comments. Did this mean Snotlout and the Twins had the right to bully him? No! But everyone else had a reason for avoiding him.

This is why I hate stories where Stoick is portrayed as an abusive and heartless Parent, who never loved Hiccup. HE DID LOVE HICCUP!

They both aren't perfect, and they both have flaws. They both did things wrong. But Hiccup's selflessness', bravery and other good traits defenitly came from Stoick the Vast, the greatest Chieftain Berk has ever seen. May the Valkyries sing your name with love and fury, Chief...
