![]() ![]() They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Many were disappointed that the special doesn't address a major issue of controversy regarding the events from the third movie, namely why dragons and humans have to be separated the way they are now.We never see how they are coping with the separation from humans, and Toothless never thinks to enlist their help when looking for his children. The other dragons are not shown at all in the Hidden World.Instead, Valka is not seen or mentioned at all. With Zephyr and Nuffink initially fearing dragons, Valka could have provided her grandchildren with her own insight to change their minds, having lived among and tamed dragons even longer than Hiccup did.They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:.In fact, Toothless has not.and he never even looks back. Tear Jerker: Hiccup's unbridled joy at seeing Toothless again at the end, believing his dragon has come back specifically to visit him.Salvaged Story: To alleviate the complaints that Toothless forgetting Hiccup entirely would cement the destruction of the progress for coexistence between humans and dragons, this short establishes that Toothless still remembers Hiccup even after a decade and teaches his kids about his life with humans.Ho Yay: Gobber's descriptions and recollections of Stoick gives off this vibe for some.Fanon: Since Valka's nowhere to be seen in this special and never mentioned, a popular fan theory holds that she went off to be with Cloudjumper.Depictions of her growing up and leading the dragons back into the world above are very common. ![]() ![]() Ensemble Dark Horse: Dart, the blue-eyed Night Light, whose curiosity towards humans, resourcefulness, and being the only character who shows any discontent with the situation between dragons and humans as it stands quickly endeared her to the fandom.Already a divisive character, opinions are mixed as to whether she's being jealous and manipulative or just afraid for the Night Lights. She's also the one to hustle the family out of New Berk, just as Toothless is connecting with Zephyr. She's less than impressed with Toothless showing the Night Lights his drawing of Hiccup and very unhappy when he suggests visiting, to the point where he has to sidle up to her apologetically. Alternative Character Interpretation: The Light Fury's behavior throughout the short.Many fans saw this premise as unintentionally confirming a common complaint about the separation in the final film, retroactively showing the franchise's ending in an even worse light. The children are superstitious and fearful of dragons until they themselves get to actually see one in person, and the unhappiness even extents to the dragons' side with Toothless' own offspring being desperate to leave the Hidden World. Accidental Aesop: Since the dragons left, the progress that Berk's residents made in understanding them is shown to have been largely lost on future generations.A common criticism is that she comes across as emotionally abusive towards Toothless and that her behavior is an obstacle to a possible reproachment between humans and dragons in the future. Abandon Shipping: Even fans who previously liked the Light Fury and her relationship with Toothless were put off by her actions in the short. ![]()
