Just watched this recently, and I thought it wasn't even in the same league as the first one. I loved the first movie. This one was so predicable and I just found myself bored throughout. And it sucks that the only non white person in the film is the bad guy. He doesn't fit into the world they created at all. The movie did look amazing though.

What did the trailers spoil?

Finally watched it. I cried...
Fuck Toy Story 3 for beating HTTYD and fuck the Oscars if HTTYD2 doesn't win this year.

A key character reveal.

Yes, it disappointed a lot of people that they already knew the reveal going in. Spoiled the moment.

Ah, that's a bummer. I'm glad I didn't watch the trailers.

It's set somewhere around Scandinavia, what did you expect?

What? I would expect the bad guy to look like he came from the same area then. The bad guy is the only character in the movie to have darker skin, different hair texture, and a different accent. And the movie features no back story about where he came from.
Maybe he's a pissed off guy from the Middle East exacting revenge for a member of the Varangian Guard killing his father/mother/sibling/cousin during the Byzantine era. He's so tormented by the loss that his only solution is to wipe out the peoples who supplied such a bodyguard system.

So they admit to just making him ethnic for the hell of it. No wonder the characters is so out of place.

Ugh. Was just reading that the last film isn't scheduled until 2019...
The gap is absurd. Killing any momentum they ever wanted to build.

Is Powell still composing?

I am worried that the animation for How To Train Your Dragon 3 will be downgraded because Universal tends to prefer lower budget films that bring in a big profit.
And that's assuming they don't mess up the plot.

Last I heard in 2015 yes, but we have had little to no recent news.
I am concerned about this as well. Illumination films always feel cheap looking to me.
I was riding on the hope that they were already deep enough in development that it wouldn't make much difference, but with the delay (film was originally scheduled for last year) I bet that they haven't even starting most of the effects work.

I click this thread and see people saying Drago is a black guy and the film is racist? What on Earth.

Sounds about right
These movies take a while and Dreamworks has had a bunch of other animated movies since HTTYD2.
