Top Ten Reasons to Hate How to Train Your Dragon

I hate This Movie So Much! It's so cliche and sucks on my opinion
The Top Ten
1 The characters are unoriginal

Tell me an original character and I'll find a trope for it, we've literally used up 99% of original character personalities, there are only 16 types of personality dude.

The characters are based on the book series. Of course, they would have the same name and personality and such

The name is also unoriginal! The movie is just like a copy to the book. The book is tons better than the movie

This is so true! I can tell that the characters were not as well taught out as some other animated series.

2 Toothless is too overrated

Don't get me wrong. I love the movies and stuff, especially the game School of Dragons. However, I have to agree on this. Before you say that he's "sO cUtE aNd YoU sHoULd StOp HaTiNg oN hIm", let me just say that I am not hating on him. I like Toothless just fine, but, when you think about it, he as well as Hiccup are both overrated and actually fall into the category of a Gary-Stu. Here's why:

1. Toothless has one flaw...and this flaw makes him cute rather than hinder him. Also, this is not a character flaw, it's a physical flaw so his personality still counts as "perfect".

2. He's smart, cute, bad***, talented, lovable, and loyal to Hiccup.

3. Everything centers around him somehow, especially some of the subplots.

4. He gets practically everything: An awesome owner who is also the chief of Berk, being the Alpha dragon, being the rarest and most dangerous dragon ever, a girlfriend, and getting some pretty awesome perks with becoming Alpha dragon (as listed ...more

At first, I loved Toothless, but now, I realized how overrated and cliche he is. He has a flaw that makes him seem more like able. He is probably the rarest and most powerful dragon in the entire HTTYD world, all common protagonist traits. He is cool, badass, smart, vigilant, and protective, all while being adorable. *cough cough* A way to make him more like able.

Toothless is different from the rest of the Dragons by having those “intelligent big eyes” instead of the usual dumb-looking round eyes. Most characters have an embarrassing moment that makes people laugh, but when Toothless has one of those embarrassing moments, he is the center of attention by appearing cute while doing it.

I am sorry, but I do not enjoy these overrated things at all. The movie is amazing, but it has to have some flaws.

He is the most loyal dragon ever and would do anything for Hiccup. Without Toothless, they wouldn't be fighting for the dragons. And, of course he has the most screen time after Hiccup, he is the one of the main characters after all.

Exactly, it's as if this stupid Night Fury who can't even fly on his own has to be the best of all...I mean come on, only because he's rare doesn't mean other dragons should be designed like idiot! Damn you Toothless.

3 The plot is just lame

Well in the 1st movie I watched, the plot was ok, but in the 2nd movie the plot is better than the 1st movie plot. And in the 3rd movie the plot was still ok, but DreamWorks should have make a better plot like the 2nd movie did.

(Sigh) yes, revolutionary discoveries that are originally shunned and outcasted are lame.

Can' disagree more

This is retarded

4 It's the most overrated Dreamworks movie

After Shrek... Yeah. I didn't get the hype, it was decent.

Why the hell is this more popular than shrek

5 It's not funny at all!

Personal opinion, I can't disagree with you here, But I enjoyed it, so stop presenting it as fact, please.

None of their stupid jokes were funny. They just look idiotic with those jokes

Dreamworks in general have stupid humor.

Its perfect funny movie

6 'Our Dragons' at the ending

So what? You might be somehow extremely bothered by this, MLPFan, but really. They say "Our Dragons" at he end. Wow. It's okay to dislike HTTYD, but these don't appear as legit reasons to me.

"Like anyone would want a freaky dragon as a pet"

...
...
...
Now I'm beginning to think I've been trolled. Like legit, I don't think you're serious anymore, tell me who would deny a dragon as a pet. Besides yourself, and someone whose afraid of reptiles. Like, tell me. Who.

Like anyone would want a freaky dragon as a pet

Dragons cannot be owned.

7 Hiccup is too much of a Mr. Smarty-Pants

He is smart and and does what's best for everyone. Does he brag about it? No, unlike Snotlout. It's how he is, not like some macho viking

I want him dead

8 They don't follow the books' amazing plot and story

After reading all 12 of the books, I can assure you the movies are the worst thing to ever be created by DreamWorks. I could list everything wrong with the movies, but that would take way too long.

I'll just state the basics:

Toothless is supposed to be a small, brown dragon. He is not a large black riding dragon.

There is no such thing as a "Night Fury."

Hiccup is supposed to have a riding dragon that is NOT Toothless, Windwalker.

Alvin The Treacherous is a way better character in the books. I loved hating him.

And that's just scratching the surface. The books have awesome characters and plotlines, actually good humor, emotion and meaningfulness (especially book 8 and up), and much more to offer than the movies. The death of Furious the Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus at the end of book 12 was so powerfully emotional it moved me to tears, something the movies could never do.

I utterly loathe whoever at Dreamworks came up with ...more

I mean, if they change it so much, why don't they rename the whole thing because they are literally saying that the movie is the book's story which is so not true because the books are AMAZING and no way can the movie compare to them.

It's based on it, it doesn't have to be the same. As long as Cressida Cowell agrees, it's fine

*anything related to those awful movies*
Me: "KILL IT WITH FIRE"

9 They get a crossover with Frozen and Big Hero 6

I seriously doubt it- Big Hero 6 and Frozen are Disney movies and Dragons is Dreamworks, who are competitors. If your talking about the fandom than yeah, but I seriously doubt the two companies will ever come together.

You can make a crossover with any movie franchise, that's the one of the points of fan fictions.

Uuuhhbb how can how to train your dragon be a crossover of frozen and big hero6 when httyd came in 2010, frozen came in 2013 and big hero 6 came in 2014?

Frozen is overrated so that movie can cross cover frozen but big hero 6 no.

10 They always say 'This Is Berk' at the beginning

O...kay, this is a reason... To hate httyd, by a dialogue line. That's an interesting way to give exposition, Like, the intro, You are giving it flak for telling you the name of the location.

It's a typical thing and it's not bad. Plus, the description changes every time and it shows a contrast between the Berks in every movie

Whoa, it tells you the location in the beginning! This is the worst movie ever, hurrr!

This shouldn't be a reason to dislike the movies

The Contenders
11 They mixed Netherlands with Scandinavia

Berk is Netherland and Vikings are Skandinavia. The mix doesn't sound like a great combo. Disney's idea of San Fransokyo (From Big Hero 6) Is so much better!

Big hero 6 was better but this was also a great movie

No they mixed Iceland with Scotland get it right.

LOL I live in the Netherlands and this isn't right

12 They kill the dad

Sorrowful, but don't they do that in a lot of Disney movies? I know it's uncommon for Dreamworks to kill the father, but the mother was thought to be dead in the first one.

Like what happened to valhallarama who is this strong muscular hero who is actually more heroic than Stoick?

It was sad but with love, comes loss, that's what Stoick said. It was originally supposed to be Gobber but still

That's why I hate the sequel

13 All people see is HiccStrid

Shippings suck. I hate it when a huge clan of fans gather around only to see their damn shipping, which is Hiccstrid here. Other characters don't get attention at all.

Yes, what happened to camicazi? I hate how there has to be ROMANCE in the movie with a pretty girl who can literally not be better than hiccup. camicazi is a great character. why did dreamworks exclude camicazi and her wild, cocky ish sassy personality?

I hate ships but they don't ruin the movie for me.

14 The dragons leave at the end

I hated that the dragons left, but think about this...it's the ultimate conclusion. That's why they left; it wouldn't make sense to have them here when the Berkians are trying to explain what happened to the dragons and why nobody sees them anymore. It's supposed to tie in with real-life legends, which is a beautiful thing.

It explains why we can't see dragons now and it's reality. It's bittersweet but life is like that and it makes the movie more sad but memorable

15 They made Shark Tale look good

Shark tale was good :3

16 The voice actors are celebrities

I think, its not problem cause many film which the voice actors are celebrities..

Is this even a valid point, are there voice actors who aren't celebrities?

There is only one song where they sing! Really?

All voice actors are celebs.

17 They say it's more fun than Frozen

Just because it's not Disney doesn't mean it can't compare.

Neither movies are fun.

18 The books were so different

The biggest difference is that the books were good. The Films are not. At all.

19 It's boring
20 It overshadows Shrek
21 It's not educational

They teach you life lessons, such as self-acceptance, being yourself and what real friendship is like. Plus, not every movie has to have a moral

Yes I like things that teach you stuff but how to train your dragon no not at all

22 Astrid is hot

I want to know why this is on a list for reasons to DISLIKE the movie.

I believe astrid is hot on how to train your dragon and I want her

I don't like her much, but she's not terrible

23 Toothless is great but the other characters aren't
24 It has too many spinoffs
25 Stoick is abusive

That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Stoick is so unlikable because he treats his son like crap.
And that's saying nothing of the villagers who bully Hiccup...

He changed afterwards and he became supportive of Hiccup. Not everyone is perfect
