The httyd sequels are badly writen goyslop and probably defile the original as much as the rise of skywalker and the last jedi do starwars.
It reminds me a lot of legend of korra and the dragon prince where once the creators split off suddently everything they touch turned to shit because the only reason their original creation worked is due to them controlling one another's worse impulses.
Yes, but again, none of them are woke. Not even close. You're not proving how the writing of either of these movies are woke, but rather, just explaining the summaries of each movie

What? I never said they were woke, I said they were dogshit disposable entertainment (literally slop). You can be dogshit and disposable without being woke.
Like what and how? Please enlighten us with some examples
Sure, I'll be happy to, I despise this movie, so any chance to rag on it is great:
First and foremost, logistic issues, ignoring themes, implications and whatever, the seperation makes no sense at a base level:
Are those dragon trappers going to leave Berk in peace now that their main income source is gone? Now that New Berk is a known location, they're going to regroup, capture villagers and torture or use them as hostages to get the location of the hidden world out of Hiccup. New Berk will have to move anyway, but this time it'll be more difficult and they'll be less able to defend themselves without their dragons.
Since Berkians and dragons are separated, what is stopping another armada from invading them, capturing them and torturing them until they reveal the location of the hidden world? The ONLY reason berkians won is because of the dragons. So now they are defenseless, and the enemy knows their location.
If the argument is that there is no armada because they completely destroyed it, then why did they need to seperate in the first place?
Is new berk an impenetrable fortress so they are safe without dragons to guard them? Then why seperate in the first place if its so safe?
Is new Berk is not an impentrable fortress meaning the dragons are exposed? So, why give up your only line of defence?
The same applies to the hidden world. If the hidden world is safe then why can't the humans move in? If it isn't safe, why are they sending their dragons there?
Then, it completely assrapes hiccup's character to the point where you wonder if the director had even seen the previous movies despite directing them:
"Those who attacked us are relentless and crazy. But those who stopped them? Oh, even more so! We may be small in numbers, but we stand for something bigger than anything the world can pit against us. We are the voice of peace. And bit by bit, we will change this world. You see, we have something they don't. Oh sure, they have armies and they have armadas... But we... we have... OUR DRAGONS!"
This is hiccup in the second movie right after his dad died and his village was destroyed. Then in the third movie, some dipshits show up, hiccup and co. effortlessly wipe out 8000 ships with no loses, and that's the final straw that means they just MUST seperate? What?
Its not like hiccup "grew" (which is a bullshit excuse anyway because that's regression not growth), second and third movies take place like a few months appart.
The entire franchise upto this point was "stronger toogether", but now its "ah fuck it lets give up and seperate cba to try anymore." which ironically happens right after the biggest victory they've ever had.
Yeah fuck it, these two characters are basically inseperable twins, but they must seperate I guess because we need drama.
The whole point of gift of the night fury was to show how toothless wants to fly with hiccup instead of just carry him. But fuck that lol.
And the ending itself even seperated from berk and the characters is like a fever dream, the story was reasonably grounded (what if vikings but also dragons), but then the ending just goes full "Don't ask questions, just consume product."
Berk's dragon exodus apparently started a global migration where every single dragon made a run for the hidden world.
Even assuming that somehow no hunters followed them and found the hidden world, the previous movies/series took decent care to establish how dragons were integrated into the enviroment and some other cultures. Like in the series there's a dragon that eats lava keeping a volcano at bay so that a village of people living at its base don't get wiped out. lol fuck those guys I guess, yeah yeah, "non canon" whatever, dragons were still a part of their enviroment.
Its not enlightened to just remove them all as if they're aliens and not creatures that evolved there.
They basically removed a billion predators from the surface, put a billion predators into a cramped confined space, and went "It will work itself out, stop asking questions." right after the movie made a big deal out of how you can't just stuff an unlimited number of dragons in a confined space which was the problem berk had to begin with.
THE TAIL. THE MAIN SYMBOLISM OF THE SERIES.
Hiccup's foot and toothless tail are like the main symbolism of all 3 films. They crippled one another by accident, but became friends through it and ended up helping one another accomplish great things in spite of it.
Again, the whole point of gift of the night fury was to show how toothless wants to fly with hiccup instead of just carry him.
The third movie goes, "tail? what tail?" and pretends that hiccup's mechanical tail would somehow last on its own like 80 years with no problems. Yeah sure it would. I'm sure a mechanical tail built out of leather and 1000s metal would survive intense use for multiple decades with no issues or problems. But hey we need that ending, so who gives a shit.
But bro, its call of the wild bro, its born free bro. Like, nature and shit bro.
The stories of Call of the Wild/Born Free and Toothless are direct opposites in every sense of the word.
In Born Free, the cubs were raised in captivity from a very young age and released after they grew up. Same for Call of the Wild. Buck was a house dog for the majority of his life and was born in the city in captivity. The connecting element in those two stories is that neither Buck nor the cubs had ever experienced nor knew what the wild was like. That choice was deprived of them.
Toothless, on the other hand, was born and raised in the wild. He didn't even have any personal interactions with humans or human civilization for the vast majority of his life, and only befriended humans after he was nearly an adult. He spent more time in the wild than he did among humanity. He already was wild and opted to join and stay with the humans as a conscious choice on his part (as signified by GoTNF and him rejecting the automatic tail).
How is his story even remotely comparable to Call of the WIld and Born Free ? Every single piece of media in the entire franchise save for The Hidden World is literally the exact opposite story.
Cotw and born free were about animals born in captivity joining the wild after discovering it for the first time in their lives.
Toothless on the other hand, was a wild animal, born and raised in the wild, having ALREADY experienced it, that opted to join humanity after he was already grown up, because after experiencing both, he prefered humanity over the wilderness.
The stories are direct opposites in every sense of the word.
This isn't even getting into shit like gimmel solo 1v1ing every single nightfury on the planet, or the director confirming hiccup never met toothless again, or that toothless forgot hiccup, or toothless being a shit leader, or the degration of his character, and a bunch of other shit.
Schafrillas Productions made the movie big and it has had multiple large memes since between the "My death was greatly exaggerated", "There is no queen of England", "I love you random citizen", Snotty Boy (Back at The Barnyard) glow up, Markiplier as Metro Man, penis music, and no bitches.
I cannot blame him for giving his zoomer audience a dose of nostalgia from the early-2010s, and I still don't blame the majority of social media for spamming the same Megamind memes either, I mean, DreamWorks may have done a Megamind sequel for its TV division, but thankfully they didn't do the same with Bee Movie... yet
"No no, you guys. There's a mohawk and a wheelchair, so it's different from the movie which I never saw nor the syndicated TV series based on the movie"
Everyone wants to make the next Shinji freak-out because that's all anyone ever remembers, but can't bring themselves to fully commit to the mindbreak.
