User blog comment:Dual Energon/What I think makes HTTYD 2 the supremely better movie./@comment-5690373-20151114030013/@comment-24865409-20160112000648

The characters in HTTYD 2 changed into more likable ones.

Seriously, I was hoping that everyone on Berk (except Gobber, Hiccup and Toothless) would die in HTTYD 1.

Valka had her redemption story, and takes on the role of mother to Hiccup when he really needs it, and he does.

I could say the same thing about Fishlegs in HTTYD 1. A completely empty character.

Snot, Ruff and Tuff were just jerks in HTTYD 1 and nothing more.

As much as I love Hiccup and Astrid's romance in HTTYD 2, in HTTYD 1 it was so forced and ridiculous.

The story in HTTYD 1 was too light-hearted and whimsy.

The climax battle of HTTYD 1 was unnecessary.

Drago is at least a better villain than the Red Death, which was painted to be just an evil dragon.
