I hate this kind of bridge designed for the growth of the protagonist. And to be honest, I think this paragraph is very abrupt and doesn't help much in the later plot feelings. Why is the male protagonist willing to be the commander after his father's death?
His father died to protect him, not to protect his tribe! If his father was to protect his tribe from dying in battle, one husband should be the only one to be a saviour, to make his father's death more heroic, and let Hiccup see his father's responsibility and fearlessness as a patriarch, so he was moved and inspired. Hiccup's willingness to become the patriarch would also be natural, instead of feeling awkward like it does now, which makes me feel that my father's death was sloppy and didn't have the inspiring effect it should have. This would have been a small climax. , but the effect is directly halved, which also makes me feel that the film is meaningless to pave the way for what qualities a patriarch should have at the beginning!
What kind of feeling did I have in the process of watching it? It was the willfulness of the male lead that indirectly killed his father, which made people feel unhappy like a thorn in their hearts, and they couldn't let go, and they couldn't be happy with the he behind him, obviously. His parents have repeatedly stressed that persuading the villain will not work, but the male protagonist will go his own way, blindly confident, and finally get the result of his father's death. In the end, everyone is happy and united, but no one remembers this father's death. Death is meaningless and profound.
Although there are some bridges that I don't like, Toothless is still cute as always
