It’s interesting that as I understand it, the first How to Train Your Dragon film is more often than not viewed as the best one and for me, if I’m forced to rank them, it would end up last, though that’s not to say it was bad. In terms of ranking the films, this one’s about even with the second. I could make a case for either one being my favorite of the three, although this one didn’t get me to cry as much as the second one did. It takes until the third film to meet who ended up being my favorite character of the trilogy, and that is Grimmel the Grisly. I know that you said you only found him to be ok, and I respect that. Me, I love a good villain. Particularly one that’s surprisingly dark in an otherwise light-hearted film like Grimmel was. And once again, F. Murray Abraham showcases how fantastic he is. I almost had a stroke when I heard his voice, to the point I paused the film and said, “He’s in this? And he’s the villain? Essentially THE villain of the trilogy?! ...Why does nobody tell me these things?” All throughout Grimmel’s scenes, I could picture Murray having a blast voicing the character. I had strong suspicions that the film would touch on Hiccup’s dad some, and that it would make me cry, so I braced myself for that. Didn’t expect them to hit that button quite as hard as they did. I agree with you that I found it very sweet, the romance between Toothless and, uh, Mrs. Toothless, I guess. I got more invested in that than the romance sub-plot between Hiccup and Astrid that transpired over the trilogy. Go figure. I loved the ending for how bittersweet it is. It is as you say, in life you may no longer live with or live near those that you love, that doesn’t mean they leave you in heart. As I said last month and I’ll reiterate, I very much enjoyed seeing these movies more than I thought I would, and I loved sharing them with you. I don’t think I would ever have seen them if not for you reacting to them. I suppose maybe I would have in the future if by some miracle I ever have kids, though I highly doubt that’s ever going to be in the cards for me. You mention how you’re going to miss seeing these films, and I feel the same way. Thank you so much for this most delightful journey, Jess.
