I think Hiccup wasn’t thinking right in the third movie, he seems completely irrational and jumpy.
Look his dad died almost a year before, he’s stressed out trying to run berk, what does he do to avoid running berk? Save dragons, where do the dragons go? Berk. That starts an overpopulation on Berk that he refuses to deal with, until his best friend is threatened.
Desperate to save toothless, he runs away and takes berk with him because they’re his reponsibility.
Throughout the movie he is constantly trying to find something else to focus on, they find the lightfury and he puts all his effort into that, and getting toothless to fly so he can get a date, he’s realy just running from things instead of facing them head on, which is not the hiccup we’ve seen in the past whatsoever.

Controversial Character Tournament Round 1: The Light Fury from How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

Im thinking about how horrifying the ending of THW is purely from an ecological standpoint.
Like the Hidden World is so isolated. It’s gotta have a perfectly balanced ecosystem to survive. If you stuff every single dragon into that fragile system it is going to self-destruct.
Not to mention that their diets are mostly carnivorous, so they’re going to have to leave anyway to go hunting, at which point the prey is going to catch on because there’s going to be so much of it and move further from the Hidden World, and the dragons will follow them lest they resort to cannibalism.
And that’s not to mention if, say, a disease raked through it?
God I’m so angry. I’m so pissed. The only way for this to work is for the Berkians to monitor them Park Ranger Style and by doing that they'd have to frequent THW, which no longer makes it a hidden world. One wrong person stumbles across the only exit to it by watching them, and it’s all over.

Birds do it, bees do it, educated fleas do it,
let’s do it, let’s 
REMAKE THE LIGHT FURY
Tumblr media
Toothless used to be a realistic creature, designed to balance on the visual knife blade’s edge between appealing and terrifying. He borrowed his coloration from panthers and manta rays and his movement from cats because they are real animals that master that cute-fierce combo, too. He could look menacing and then loveable at the drop of a hat. 
Then in HTTYD 2 somebody hit him with the Puppy Stick. I haven’t seen any better explanation of the visual problems with Toothless from HTTYD 1 to HTTYD 3 other than this Reddit user’s, so we’re just going to skip trying. 
https://www.reddit.com/r/httyd/comments/qasmwo/toothless_head_comparison_by_durkishdragon/
Read that. Anyway. Let’s move on to the Light Fury.  Everyone’s talked over and over the problems with the Light Fury’s design. So I don’t think I need to go into depth with that, either. Suffice to say, I believe that the way a character is designed should reflect their purpose in the story. She was never meant to be a species that was exciting to learn more about, unlike the Bewilderbeast or the Night Fury. She was just meant for cute interactions with Toothless. I think her design, sad as it is, reflects that lazy story direction. 
BUT NOT OUR REDESIGNS. And mine is no exception! If I’m going to change the story structure of HTTYD 3 (and I am) then the Light Fury has to change, big time. 
First we’ll talk about the species. 
We all know there are more than one Light Fury visible in the third film, and that’s the idea I hinged my little “fix it” re-write of HTTYD3 on in this post. I’m not going to restate it, but a lot of it focuses on Hiccup and Toothless discovering a whole Fury Flock who has migrated out of distant, hostile lands and is resting near Berk on their way to the Hidden World.
This way, instead of the Love Interest Fury just serving as Catnip that makes Toothless act dippy and cuddly, they actually have a purpose—because they’re tied to a mystery. They’re the whole plot. This way, instead of Toothless waking through the woods and happening upon a single personality-bland version of himself with no build-up, the Light Furies are a whole community and species that the story spends as much time on as they did the Night Fury in the first film.  Anyway. So while our heroes are uncovering all the interesting quirks and hierarchy of the Fury Flock, we’ll do the same!
So without further ado—bum-ba-da-dum, let me introduce you to—
Tumblr media
The Sky Fury! 
(Click for better view)
Yeah, okay, I know it’s a different name and not too terribly different a design, but hear me out below the cut
I don’t think that just because Toothless, is straight black with faintly darker markings (basically only visible in the first movie) that means every other Fury has to be one solid color either. And why should it be white? Most white animals in the wild who don’t live in snowy environments straight up die because of their lack of pigmentation. It makes them a target and it lets reptiles get sunburnt.
But we all know that white contrasted with Toothless’ black has a certain appeal. It’s more visually interesting than a samey-same color pairing between him and any would-be Love Interest. So I kept the white, like most re-designers do.
And then I thought, well, why would Furies have to worry about being spotted by enemies—they’re up in the sky all the time anyway. So instead of having the Furies be completely black and only able to blend in with shadows and the night sky, our Furies will be mottled.
Their markings will be more visible to let them camouflage against cloudscapes in the daytime—and just like black panthers are simply leopards with overwhelming black in their coats, Sky Furies are kind of like what Night Furies might look like if you could fade back some of that intense black and see the patterns underneath. 
 So our Sky Furies are mostly white, but with hints of blue and stormy gray underneath. The youngest Sky Furies are sky-blue around their horns—which, yes, they have horns and spiny spikes, not just smooth aquatic ridges.  I basically leaned into what the original design for the Light Fury was supposed to be; rougher like an axolotl, with influences from a naturally-pale master of camouflage in the wild like the Snow Leopard or Clouded Leopard. We keep all the potential for cuteness without losing the fierceness.
Because you can’t tell me this:

Is nailing the fierce-end of the spectrum as perfectly as THIS DID: 
Tumblr media
So the Sky Furies are called Sky Furies because one, Light Fury is a dumb name. It sounds super made-up. Like they were really just trying to rhyme with “Night.” But “Sky” Fury indicates that there’s more to know about this type of Fury besides the fact that they’re associated with Toothless. 
A few things about the Sky Fury Species:
- Only their two largest ear-flaps can move.
- They are better swimmers than Night Furies.
- They can camouflage, but they can’t echolocate.
- They communicate by clicking more often than roaring or other vocalizations. This is why their Old Night Fury leader calls to them by clicking his back spines together, open and shut.
- They have a complex social hierarchy. In one Flock, the leader’s rule is always obeyed; unlike other Dragon species, Furies aren’t susceptible to being “controlled” by an alpha. (This explains why Toothless was able to block out the Bewilderbeast in HTTYD 2. And we can just say he just needed some practice doing it, since he didn’t grow up with his own kind.) They just obey the leader in charge.
- Sky Furies must migrate from the Hidden World to Grimmel’s Land every thirty years. It is an instinctual urge, like Sea Turtles going on land to give birth or Manta Rays migrating. Theory has it their first nesting grounds were on the land Grimmel’s people built their village on top of. Ever since then, Sky Furies and Grimmel’s Tribe have been at intense war. This leaves them with no tolerance at all for humans—in fact, they’ve begun viewing people as a particularly impressive part of their food chain.
- Sky Furies are strategic, team hunters. Rarely do they set out to hunt alone. Part of their social hierarchy is that the first Fury to strike prey (being the fastest) is generally the first to eat. If a Fury is eating alone, it is because that Fury is being punished or outcasted by the others. 
- Sky Furies have almost always been led by Night Furies, because Night Furies can echolocate and sense the underground routes to the Hidden World. In return for this, Sky Furies often hunt for their leader during the daytime hours, the same way lionesses hunt while male lions protects the group.  - Sky Furies sing! This is the only way they use their vocalization abilities, and they only do it when they feel safe. That’s all I’ve got for now. More art to come—more on the specific Love Interest Fury, too.

Here are the Contenders and Rules. Dreamworks did not theatrically release any films in 2018.
(Also feel free to add in the tags or notes whether I should still keep running the Dreamworks Tournament separate from the Illumination Tournament in the coming years)

Happy 5th Anniversary to Httyd3 the Hidden World
Your Are Beautiful ending to my Favorite Movie Trilogy of all Time and some of the few Movie Franchises that I really care about. You were amazing, Beautiful and you make Me cry every time I Watch you. I‘m grateful that you exist in your World and That you summed everything up perfectly. Your a Masterpiece of an ending to a great Story that always feels to Me like a Story from a Book that comes to Live (funny because your Story is based on a book-Series). And as it is with Stories they‘re must be an end and I‘m so happy we get this delightful ending with very Good messages that we all should hold close to our hearts. We shouldn’t beg for more, we should just be happy what we have with this Story that means so much to so Many People. I know its very Hard to let Go of something That is near to your Heart But sometimes it is for the Best. To let Go is Not a weakness its a strenght and This Movie shows it perfectly. This is One of the best endings you could ask for in Movie History and as a Fan. Still best ending to a DreamWorks Movie, hell even Puss in Boots2 couldn’t beat this ending. But this just my opinion.
Thx Dean DeBlois for making this Trilogy❤️‍🔥
