#(and NOTHING the kid does in 'gone gustav gone' is any worse than what hiccup does in the first FIVE MINUTES of the og movie)

I think the area where the Dragons shows fail to live up to the How to Train Your Dragon movies is that they don't really have the dragons integrated into the community enough.

The movies (and Gift of the Night Fury) paint a picture of Berk as being full of dragons, where basically everyone and their yak has their own dragon (who are an integral part of the functioning of the village); whereas in the show, it seems as though six teenagers are basically the only dragon riders and everyone else just sort of tolerates them.

(Gift of the Night Fury features the main gang trying to give away dragon eggs to random villagers. Dragons features the main gang trying to make a twelve-year-old give up his dragon because he *checks notes* kind of annoys them? Or something?)
