Where did I say that Hiccup thought the war was a game?

He never thought of it that way. He just thought that being able to kill a dragon would make him enough of a viking.

His tribe were treating him like crap because he didn't look like a viking, for goodness' sake!

What kind of a tribe is that?!

Maybe if they were nicer to Hiccup instead on looking down on him and did not expect him to be like his father then he wouldn't have felt urges to pull off stunts to prove himself.

So if you're the target of Nightmare, the collateral damage is obviously your fault. Nice logic there... not.

I'd want to be friends with someone who is able to use their brain and heart to live, not just dumb muscle. I want to be friends with someone who can think of a creative solution to problems, not just a failing repetitive strategy.

Stoick, Astrid and Gobber NEVER gave him good advice. They just basically said "stick to the viking way, and screw you if you don't".

Stoick was right about Drago, that's true. Hiccup does need to learn that his flaw is being a pushover all the time.

Being a pushover and being reluctant to fight when necessary are Hiccup's only flaws. Which he learns about in the 2nd Movie.

Adding 20 or 30 more minutes of story would have helped the film greatly. But since it's just the standard 90 minutes, all that's seen are abusive characters (bar Gobber, Fishlegs, Gothi and the dragons) treating Hiccup like crap.
