Talk:Grimmel the Grisly/@comment-25563752-20190427080157

Grimmel is actually the perfect villain to end the series with. He and Hiccup are very similar. Both are brilliant, understand dragons, are natural leaders, are master strategists, and are relentless in their goals, (Hicup to save dragons, Grimmel to hunt them). But what really makes him the perfect villain is that he's what Hiccup could have become. The crossroads was when they captured a Night Fury. But while Hiccup released Toothless and befriended him, Grimmel tossed aside his compassion and killed his. Had Hiccup made a different choice, he could have ended up just like Grimmel. And this is what made their coming to blows so great. It was that single life choice they made tat ended up defying them and opening the paths to their destinies, and in the end showed what the better path was.
