Okay, so Germany was punished harshly.

Well they did cause the Holocaust.

"Plus, you can brag about how you got it."

Scars may be a sign of experience, but who in their right mind brags about their scars?

"The Berkians enjoy violent and dangerous sports and enjoy combat to an extent, but they're not war-hungry."

Oh really?

"Hiccup, we Vikings have always had something to fight about. Be it dragons, or Dagur, or Alvin. If we're not fighting something, we're fighting each other." - Stoick the Vast

"They kept fighting because they hadn't officially surrendered yet."

Before I take your word about Japan wishing to surrender, answer me this.

How can the Japanese negotiate surrender while they still attack the Allies?

"Some people thought that attacking all of Iraq was a good idea, while some smart people knew that attacking the entire country was a very bad, and even illogical, action."

I'd say it was a 50/50 call and that both answers had positives and negatives.

And I pick the side that says attack Iraq.

"Revenge is the wrong reason because it doesn't solve anything in the end."

Prove it.

Because all the times I have exacted revenge, I felt blissful afterwards.

"In fact, if Hitler had been practical and hadn't attacked the Soviet-Union or US, he probably would have won the war."

Germany had no beef with the Americans or Soviets, so Hitler attacking them wasn't Revenge.

It was Suicidal and one of the first signs that he was insane.

It's impossible to hunt down those responsible without calling for a war.

Even if you send an elite squad, what they have done will be found out eventually.

So war is the LOGICAL way to go about things.

"So, again: would you prefer declaring war over a war that's over when cooperation and peace with your former enemy is possible?"

I'd be willing to make peace with the enemy, as long as they are willing and cooperating.

If they're not... well then let's smash 'em.

"Those countries wanted revenge."

And are you gonna tell them that they're wong?

Do you have the balls to say it to their face?

"And besides, a black-and-white war is virtually non-existent in real life."

I damn know that.

But unlike you and your fellow idiots, I appreciate those who cross the line so that good can triumph.

"I do think you should look at the Movie!Universe as its own franchise, and not as an adaption to the book."

That's Plagarism then.

"It's not a perfect adaption of the book, and was never meant to be either."

I'm fine with adaptations not being verbatim from their source materials.

But the changes in the adaptation need to be justified.

HTTYD 1 was sub-par, while HTTYD 2 rocked.

"We never actually see them hurting someone, until they get Barf and Belch."

Uh, the twins were described to be pranksters all their lives.

"And even then, we actually do get to either see or hear they were punished for it."

The twins don't get punished for all the times that they did a misdeed, however.

That's just wrong.

And so you want a comment war between us, you useless punk?

Bring it on, punk. Bring it on.

At least I have the strength and courage to cross the line for the sake of good, while you're afraid to even get your hands dirty.

You coward.

"The show is about those two, so I don't blame the show for having many episodes about them."

Last time I checked, the show was supposedly about the riders and the dragons.

Not just Hiccup and Toothless.

And those two have gotten stale after 3 seasons and little to no development from either of them.

"And I personally think that an unspoken bond is much stronger."

I already said let's leave that up to different opinions. So be quiet about that topic now.

And what I also said is that an excellent reason for the dragons being able to verbally comunicate is that it opens up their personalities a lot more.

Aside from Toothless, the other dragons don't have as much personality.

Then again, that is just another reason why the Books are superior.

"Would you honestly wanna see really everything? And I mean, REALLY EVERYTHING?"

Oh come on.

I've seen shows with less episodes than this one, yet those shows give out lots more interesting details than this one does.

I've also seen shows with more episodes than this one, and most of those shows are far more better to watch than this one is.
