See if there's one thing to take of note, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon is going to be DreamWork's first.
They're taking the same path as Disney (ngl no matter how you try to frame it- feels like a money grab) where their movies are being turned into a live-action. And they picked HTTYD to be the one submitted to that fate.
But at least they're making some good efforts, there are highlights. I'm still scared as to what the end product will be, but-
Dean Deblois is still directing. John Powell returns as the soundtrack composer. Gerard Butler is reprising his role as Stoick in live-action format.
I even saw on Instagram that Cressida Cowell, author of the HTTYD books, even visited the movie set.
One of DreamWorks' most popular movies was picked to become a live-action. One that was already so well praised for its revolutionary animation. I want to say it's DreamWorks legacy, but that's always a matter of opinion. The Kung Fu Panda trilogy is also brilliant. Well I guess no longer a trilogy.
Anyway, I am both excited and terrified for what the live-action could come to be. A friend of mine weighed the option that maybe they're taking this opportunity to have it be more book proportionate, that I'm more doubtful of.
And then, what if the movie comes to be a success, that's what I get on about. Like, enough to make sure the 3 movies are made live-action too?? Why I dwell on it, is because of the brilliance of the shows. If the live-action does actually garner some good attention, is there going to be a possibility of the shows being made live-action too.

This is Not CoD related, but infact having to do with the HTTYD live action that's coming out.
More specifically one problem that I'm seeing almost IMMEDIATELY and I hate it so I'm going to talk about it
Ok Before I actually get into it I want to preface with this: Not everyone is going to agree with me, some people might even think I'm incredibly wrong. And that's okay because this is my opinion and you have yours, and I, infact, am not saying that you have to take my opinion as fact
Anyway! SO the HTTYD live action has started filming. There's been talk about it for years, I'll be honest, I never really thought it would happen. Especially not this soon after the third movie.
Whether I'm excited for this film or not is yet to be seen. On one hand I definitely don't believe anything could top the original. And live actions are not always the best remake, especially for animated movies like this one. But on the other hand they DO have Dean Deblois back, and they've kept the original actor for Stoick, so at least we'll recognize one voice. Also I have high hopes for the soundtrack, since John Powell will be back. But again I'm still skeptical about the movie.
What I really wanted to talk about is, I just saw a tiktok talking about the movie (TT user: Straw Hat Goofy), I don't really have much to say about the video itself, it was good informationally. But I wanted to talk about the comments.
So as was stated in the video and confirmed officially, Actress: Nico Parker will be cast to play Astrid. Fine, dandy, lovely, I see no problem. Apparently not everyone thinks this way...

(Ignore my shitty editing to scribble out usernames and pfps)
Theres more. A lot more :(
Not the only reason I can see people actually complaining about the casting of Nico parker is (apparently) blatant racism.
Like I understand that the original movies Astid was a blue-eyed, blonde haired girl, but I don't think this slight change should be that big of a deal. If her acting is shit, historically, she wouldn't have been cast. And her appearance (especially something she CANNOT change about herself) WILL NOT make or break the movie.
Let me repeat that
NICO PARKER'S SKIN COLOR WILL NOT MAKE THE MOVIE SHITTY
Guys, this is the same thing that happened/is happening with the Percy Jackson series, people objected to Leah Jeffries being casted as Annabeth. But Leah is a phenomenal actor, and in my opinion, is the perfect actress for the role.
If you really have a problem with Astrid not looking like she did in the animated movies then DON'T WATCH the live action. Simple as that. Ignorance is bliss in this case, so be blissful. It's 2024 people are dying, people are living, and people still can't change the color of their skin (nor should they have to (or want to, especially if it's only to fit society) even if they could)

currently going insane about the httyd film score again. It’s amazing how you can tell exactly what’s going on just by listening to the music.
Currently listening to the score for the second film score and it got to a battle scene and at first you have hiccup and toothless’ themes mixed together while they’re fighting and then things go wrong and you hear it in the music. Then his dad’s motif plays as the scene focuses on him, then his mum’s motif as she leads out the dragons. And then their marriage motif plays as they help Hiccup together.
AND YOU CAN TELL ALL OF THIS JUST FROM THE MUSIC
Leitmotifs man - gets me every time
John Powell you fucking legend

Can we all agree that the concept of How To Train Your Dragon, books and movies, is probably the cure to depression?
*pulls out hour long presentation*
• the books are what created our childhood
• the movies fueled said childhood
• casting Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera was probably the best decision the producers made
• the entire soundtrack fell out of heaven
• we will forever be in John Powell and Cressida Cowell’s debt
Just wait till I come up with more excuses 🤣
