In response to you saying you would possibly get rid of Stoick's death, I would have to say that is something that cannot be changed. In the film commentary for the second film they said that Stoick was a crutch to Hiccup that was holding him back and by getting rid of Stoick he no longer was being held back and that allowed him to come of age to where he became ready to become the chief. I just want to say that those of you that hate that they had Stoick die and that there was no reason for it are completely wrong because there was a reason for it as I explained above. Secondly, people also completely miss the fact that what Stoick did in saving Hiccup was a heroic sacrifice and that he saved Hiccup's life by giving up his. So Stoick's death is not something that can be changed.
