Actually... in a lot of ways the series made a lot of real fans rather annoyed (myself [aka usertoothless], inhonoredglory, toothlesslove, blackrose, avannaK, and Rima/justoffraven point are all examples of people who take the movie seriously and who got seriously uncomfortable with how the characters we loved were changed just so as to fit the plot. The people who loved the characters are often the ones who are saddest to see the characters compromised). Now, I still enjoyed the series, but I don't think you should assume that "real" HTTYD fans all loved the series. DreamWorks made money off of the films and the tv series... and I personally think HTTYD2 was made with the fans in mind 100 times more than the series. Yes it was fine, but I don't ever give anyone a hard time who said it dissapoints them... because personally I and many, many other really hard core fans didn't just eat it up.
