The classic hero image of the past - the intelligent and witty white man is basically a foil in this film. The dragon and its army are so well done that the guardians of the western world are simply vulnerable. In the end, it was a "girl" who solved the problem. Of course, this "hero" with a spirit of sacrifice also died. The power of machismo cannot be subverted only by decades of "feminist movement". Looking at the current US presidential election, they would rather vote for a black person than a woman.
As the opposing forces of human beings, the director tried to divide the image of "dragon" into two parts, the good "dragon" and the evil "dragon". But audiences may be more concerned with how "we" can protect "us" ourselves. Audiences have always believed that "our" own heroes and protectors can defeat our enemies, which means that protectors other than "us" are unreliable.
