Trust me, there are ways they took characters out of character so badly it will make character analysts who loved the first movie cringe. I won't get into it because I don't want to argue, but not everything that happened needed to happen. I'm not against the stuff that they had to do to make it a tv series (toning stuff down and dealing with other characters), but I am not pleased with how Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid and other major characters (ESPECIALLY Hiccup) where changed in small ways and made into steryotypes of the characters that they are in the film. Trust me, there's more to this than just what they had to change...

I still like the series, but I'm not even gonna pretend that it was great. Anyway, that's my opinion, and that is where it stands. If you have a different one, or if anyone else does, that's completely ok! I certainly hope they enjoyed it! I'm not here to hate on what other people like... I just found a lot of the things in the series... miffing.
