  1. WOW! This is great! And also can fit to the movie! I mean only know that the "Dragon Rider with it's ice breathing dragon" (Erets quotes) were attacking them. And this could be the story of what happened there!

  2. Hey mabye Rufftoon will be allowed to sell them if he asks DreamWorks?
    I would buy it! But I would want it colored (or both xD)

  3. Funfact! She was a storyboard artist for the first movie (maybe for the second too?)

  4. Awesome!!

  5. A little bit of a SPOILER so don't read the rest if you haven't seen the movie yet..
    .
    .
    .
    Did anyone notice that the Tv show was foreshadowing some of the stuff that would happen in the movie? Some examples.
    1.Fright of passage episode..foreshadowed that toothless would glow in the movie
    2.Free Scauldy episode..foreshadowed the mimicking Astrid does to hiccup because in the episode Ruffnut mimics him the same way.
    3.The Eel Effect episode..forshadowed that Toothless would get sort of "hypnotized" and turn against Hiccup.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I noticed that too.

    ReplyDelete
  7. yeah i noticed that to heh speaking of astrd i think my favorite scene with her aside from the hiccstrid feels actually it is kinda hiccstrid its when she was telling eret about him i was like very good astrid show us why you and hiccup are equals

    ReplyDelete
  8. I think these "foreshadowing" things are a bit to much far-fetched.
    I mean in Fright of passage the glowing water / algae and not a reaction of toothless himself!
    In Eel Effect it was the Eel which effected the dizziness like Eel would be a "drug" for dragons with bad side effects... He is not "hypnotized" in that episode
    And to the Free Scauldy episode: I don't know what you mean xD

    ReplyDelete
  9. That was Aaaaawesome. I would love to see that as an alternate opening option for the DVD/Bluray release. To bad its not official.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I hope they'll have it on the DVD too!

    ReplyDelete
  11. My b days on the 19th

    ReplyDelete
  12. SPOILER:
    Hey have seen that part where Astrid is captured and how she's speaking for her home her tribe and Speak really high of Hiccup and how she talks about Hiccup being the Dragon Master (name of the next series TV show) that was like awesome

    ReplyDelete
  13. Hm... the way I see it, this is not exactly an alternate opening sequence, this should takes place before Hiccup, Astrid, Toothless and Stormfly found Eret and his men on the frozen fort. This should explain what happened with them before Hiccup and Astrid found them. Nice.

    Actually, I saw this a couple of days ago

    ReplyDelete
  15. hey cool ! happy birthday !!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Another birthday ? cool ! happy birthday !

    ReplyDelete
  17. This is soooo good !! Great opening, more dramatic, and we get a closer look at Eret's motives. And wonderfully laid-out and drawn !

    ReplyDelete
  18. Really nice, I'd like to see more of it! :-)

  19. The Whisperer of DeathJune 19, 2014 at 7:32 AM

    I still feel a bit offended that they acted like Thornado never existed.
    Can't wait to see how Stoick and Skullcrusher meet in the new Dragon series.
    Or how Hiccup goes through puberty and what the others say. MAN, that would be a great episode! It'll be funny how Snotlout reacts. XD
    Oh, what about inferno?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ok so this explains a lot because I remember in the movie when Hiccup and Astrid found Eret's base and it was blone apart by Valka's Bewiderbeast

    ReplyDelete
  21. I know there was different reasons why the stuff happened in the episode and the movie. I'm just saying I think the writer at least got their inspiration from those parts in the movie.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yea exactly! there is actually more but I couldn't remember when I was typing the post.

    ReplyDelete
  23. There's an Easter egg for Thornado :D Check out the banner behind Stoick and co in the pic below!

    I really cant see it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Yeah I love this comic. It's so awesome! I really wish they had put this scene in the movie XD

    ReplyDelete
  26. How about this one?

    They were going to but decided against it.

  28. The Whisperer of DeathJune 19, 2014 at 8:41 AM

    The horn could be in honour of him, but the banner behind them is not Thornado. I think I've seen that dragon in the books, or something really close to it.

  29. Wait a sec... you're a girl? :O

    ReplyDelete
  30. i was gonna upload that

    ReplyDelete
  31. yeah I know what u mean

    ReplyDelete
  32. yeah, if this was real life I would be a talking flower xD

    ReplyDelete
  33. In the last panel of part five, you can see Hiccup and Astrid coming around the bend. Cool, huh?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Guys! Guess who got a sheep tossing Toothless with race paint for his birthday? This guy

    ReplyDelete
  35. Talk about advertising.

    ReplyDelete
  36. So, there is something you need to know about our role play after you got knocked out.

    ReplyDelete
  37. :D Nope! I read what was written after I left. So, I'm still unconscious, Whisp is either dead or badly hurt, um, Faith's in a relationship with Hiccup, Uh, Borpheus is still there right? What's happening next?

    ReplyDelete
  38. No, he fled after you all got knocked out. Hiccup got hurt more and Borpheus and Borpheus whipped Hiccup in the back of the head, unfortunately blinding him in his right eye.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I have a Toothless model about the same size that my dad got me for christmas. It's not from HTTYD 2, but it breathes out glowing blue smoke and it shoots plastic plasma blasts. I love it.XD XD

    ReplyDelete
  40. Didn't you stab him in the eye so Toothless's spit could heal by soaking in?

    ReplyDelete
  41. I may've done?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Haha, well all's well that ends well right?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Do you wanna continue, or not?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Sure. Is Faith here?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Nope, but she could still be sleeping with Hiccup.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Yeah. Ok, Let's do it.


    Arvendole: *Slowly wakes up, then jumps up* Where's Borpheus? Where'd he go?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Loutsly/Pride: The b@$tard escaped

    ReplyDelete
  48. To the top of the page

    ReplyDelete
  49. How are you feeling, Arvendole?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Um, like my head got chopped off then reattached.

    Pffffff! Borpheus! I'm going to kill him! *Looks over and sees Faith and Hiccup sleeping peacefully together*

    Awwww, that's so cute! Um, I mean, ewwwww, romance! Glad that's not me. (completely different character :D)

    ReplyDelete
  51. *Arvendole notices more bandaged than before and one of his eyes was covered by a rag*

    ReplyDelete
  52. *points* Well, that doesn't look good. What happened while I was out?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Borpheus! He... He blinded Hiccup in the right eye.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Well, that sucks. Will it heal?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Yeah, but I had to stab him in the eye and use Toothless' saliva to heal it.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Ow. *Looks in the distance* Um, should we be worried about that? *Points in the distance, where a large island sits with many dragons flying around it*

    ReplyDelete
  57. Perhaps, but I think you might be hurt.
    *Arvendole notices Pride has an arrow wound.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Well so are you. Did one of Borpheus's men shoot you? *Points to the island* Maybe those dragons are friendly as well. I mean, Toothless was friendly. Maybe that's where Hiccup comes from!

    ReplyDelete
  59. No, tried to kill myself. Apparently, Faith doesn't want me to die, even though she tried to kill me.

    ReplyDelete
  60. That's confusing. How'd you shoot yourself with a bow and arrow at such close range? Nevermind, it seems we're all in need of medical attention. Let's get to the island, see if there's anyone there that will help us.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I know this place. We shouldn't stay too long.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Why not? What's it called?

    ReplyDelete
  63. This... is Breakneck Bog.

    ReplyDelete
  64. That doesn't sound fun. Maybe we should turn around. *Looks around* One problem. We have no paddles.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Also, I think we need to restock our supplies. And get some rest outside of this Thor Damn dinghy. *rubs sore behind*

    ReplyDelete
  66. I'm really seeing your point of view right now. I don't care what island this is, I need to get out of this boat. How bad can it be?

    ReplyDelete
  67. What do you mean by "How can it be?"

    ReplyDelete
  68. How bad can it be? :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. Snake slithers near Arvendole's leg
    Pride: Very. Go pick up Faith and take her to that Cave with Toothless. I'll handle Hiccup.

    ReplyDelete
  70. *Shudders then mumbles* I hate snakes. *Says louder* It's a good thing we have Toothless with us for protection. *Picks up Faith then walks to the cave*

    ReplyDelete
  71. *Picks Hiccup up* Okay, I'll get some food and water. You look after Hiccup and Faith.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Okay. *Pats Toothless' head* Come on Toothless, let's go look after Faith and your rider.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Um, Loutsly? If it's so dangerous, shouldn't you bring a weapon or two with you if you're going alone?

    ReplyDelete
  74. restart at the top.

    ReplyDelete
  75. aurora, up here

    ReplyDelete
  76. ok, I repeated it.


    Um, Loutsly? If it's so dangerous, shouldn't you bring a weapon or two with you if you're going alone?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Ive got my bow

    ReplyDelete
  78. You should also have a short range weapon in case something's too close to shoot. How accurate are you with the bow?

    ReplyDelete
  79. I can hit a hummingbird at full speed

    ReplyDelete
  80. *Whistles* Okay! Nevermind what I said. You're safe enough by yourself. I'll start a fire while you look for food.

    ReplyDelete
  81. okay, will be back in half an hour
    half an hour later:
    Im back

    ReplyDelete
  82. Sweet. Right on time. Turns out you don't need to build a fire when you have a fire breathing dragon to do it for you. OH! Also, I collected some fir branches as sort of small beds. They're not that bad.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Perfect. Aww! Hiccup looks so peaceful.. and so hurt

    ReplyDelete
  84. After finally seeing the film does anyone else almost feel empty, like a "what do I do now?" feeling. I know that there is going to be a new series but that isn't until 2015!
    Also I loved the sequel but it also makes me sad because it feels like the first film is drifting away (if that makes any sense). Like I'm actually sad that the 15 yr old Hiccup and gang is gone now.

    ReplyDelete
  85. *hears a roar in the distance and looks around nervously* Um, what was that?

    ReplyDelete
  86. i saw the whole movie man it was epic




    I cried when stoick died

    ReplyDelete
  87. I know, right!
    Well, season 3 and 4 of dragos, which will be on Netflix, 2015, takes place before httyd 2 and may include the 15 year old teens

    ReplyDelete
  88. no idea! Whatever it is, its huge

    ReplyDelete
  90. No it was confirmed that they would still be 20 or atleast 19 for the new series :/
    And I don't even have Netflix! But hopefully it will be streamed online again.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Well, whatever it is, it probably won't come over he- Uh oh. ugh, stupid irony! And here it comes! Loutsly!! What, is, that! *Points to huge dark shape in the woods*

    ReplyDelete
  92. Get intio the cave! Now!

    ReplyDelete
  93. *Runs into cave* What do we do!?!? It will be able to get us this close to the entrance. *Gulps as she looks further down the long dark tunnel of the cave* I think we have to go further into the cave!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Grab Faith! Run!

    ReplyDelete
  95. *Grabs Faith and starts running* AH! I can't see! I'm so going to fall on my face! Toothless! Light the way! Hurry!
    Toothless: *Sends a plasma blast up the tunnel*
    Arvendole: Look! The tunnel splits in two up ahead!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Pride: Get Back, foul beast!
    Beast: swiping noise
    Hiccup: Ahh!

    ReplyDelete
  97. OH! Looks like Hiccup's awake. Not a very opportune time i'd say! Hiccup! We're off the dinghy and we're on Breakneck Bog and we're in this cave being chased by a huge dragon of some sort. RUN!!!

    ReplyDelete
  98. Pride: *appears, carrying Hiccup

    ReplyDelete
  99. Oh no! Did Hiccup get hurt by the giant beast's claw?!

    ReplyDelete
  100. Pride: Appears, carrying Hiccup, who has three claw marks on his left cheek and shoulder.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Ah man! Poor Hiccup! Are you okay? Loutsly! I think you should let Toothless carry Hiccup. It might be easier on his wounds. *Cave gets shalen by huge crash outside* The huge dragon is trying to break in! We have to go further in! I sure hope we don't get lost!

    ReplyDelete
  102. Pride: *looks at both caves and sees the left one being just big enough to allow Toothless to pass but far too small for the enemy,* Down the left! Hurry!

    ReplyDelete
  103. *Runs for a few minutes, then stops, there's a cavern to the right* Okay, I think we're far enough away. He'll never get in this far. *Walks into the cavern* Look! There's a small lake in here! And a- um,...a forest?

    ReplyDelete
  104. Still here. Did my comment come through?

    ReplyDelete
  105. for my suggestion to go down the left tunnel? No.

    ReplyDelete
  106. kay. here it is.

    *Runs for a few minutes down the left tunnel, then stops. There's a cavern to the right* Okay, I think we're far enough away. He'll never get in this far. *Walks into the cavern* Look! There's a small lake in here! And a- um,...a forest?

    ReplyDelete
  107. Ugh, it's not working. It keeps saying, 'hold on, this is waiting to be approved by Berks grapevine'. I don't get it.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Yes! And it wants to rip us to shreds. Run!

    ReplyDelete
  109. I'm way ahead of you!
    *Runs for a few minutes, then stops* Okay, I think we're far enough away. He'll never get in this far. *Walks into a side cavern* Look! There's a small lake in here! And a- um,...a forest?

    ReplyDelete
  110. Kay, I'm mad. it's not working.


    Arvendole: I'm way ahead of you!

    ReplyDelete
  111. its okay, im getting your messages

    ReplyDelete
  112. *Points ahead* Look! A cavern! we can hide in there!

    ReplyDelete
  113. Thank Thor! quick! Grab some gauze

    ReplyDelete
  114. *Grabs the satchel and pulls out a pack of gauze* Oh we better hurry, those wounds are causing alot of blood loss. You know, it's amazing how Faith can sleep through all of this. It's probably her cold though. Let's put Hiccup on that mossy area over there.

    ReplyDelete
  115. *Rests Hiccup on the moss and uses a rag t wipe the wounds. wrapps Hiccup's shoulder in gauze and smooths a piece of gauze over his cheek*

    ReplyDelete
  116. *Walks over* Look. I made a bed over there on the thick moss. We can put Hiccup over there with Faith. I need to wash the blood off of my head and you need to clean out your arrow wound. I'll get some water. There's some water in a pool on the other side of the cavern.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Can I join?

    ReplyDelete
  118. Okay! *wraps his wound as Arvendole ties some gauze around her head*
    Hiccup: *weakly wakes up and pushes himself up* What... Happened? Where are we?

    ReplyDelete
  119. sure. if aurora agrees

    ReplyDelete
  120. I'm cool on this end. XD

    ReplyDelete
  121. Thanks. :) Would it be okay if I was Hiccup? Or is he not very much invloved in the story?

    ReplyDelete
  122. He got hurt and he was unconscious for a while but he's sort of a main character.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Pride: Aurora, do you hear that?
    *footsteps*

    ReplyDelete
  124. So it's okay if I'm him? :)

    ReplyDelete
  125. Yeah, Hiccup also might have been blinded in his right eye. it should've healed now.

    ReplyDelete
  126. OK thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  127. Yeah. I wonder what it- Wait. What if it's a bad scary dragon!?!?! *Hides behind Loutsly*

    ReplyDelete
  128. Can someone explain what's happened, please? *rubs cheek*

    ReplyDelete
  129. Just stay back and hug your unconscious girlfriend*points to Faith*

    ReplyDelete
  130. *looks at Faith* Is she okay?

    ReplyDelete
  131. She's still asleep after she got a cold yesterday

    ReplyDelete
  132. Yeah. Hiccup, you might want to say hi to Toothless. He was pretty worried.

    ReplyDelete
  133. *looks over at Toothless* Hey bud. I'm fine- don't worry.

    ReplyDelete
  134. the second film of man I cried so much this was the first ever animated film I cried this much at more than toy story 3 such a great film and I thank dean for making such an amazing film but also hate him for making such an sad film I cant wait to work for DreamWorks some day xxx

    ReplyDelete
  135. Guys, at the top of the page.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Pride: I don't think your okay, I mean, your wrapped in bandages and you have a rag over your right eye.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Um, guys, hate to interrupt, but we still have that sound coming at us. You think it's a dragon? Hiccup! You're a good dragon tamer. Tame the dragon coming at us. It's probably one of those cave dwellers.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Pride: Here, *pulls Hiccups good arm around his back* lean on me and tame this thang'

    ReplyDelete
  139. It'll get better, I'm sure. And Aurora's right, we should think of something.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Quick! Think. What do cave dwellers like to eat?
    My brother always said the way to a dragons heart is food. It might work.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Bugs maybe. Or other small animals that also like to live in caves...

    ReplyDelete
  142. Have just seen today! The best movie, Ive ever seen!!!!! Armageddon of Emotions!! 8D

    ReplyDelete
  143. I heard they like salamanders. Or lizards. I'll look for some salamanders at the pool over there.

    ReplyDelete
  144. Glad you enjoyed it!

    ReplyDelete
  145. oh great! food! yeah, faith can be the appetizer, ill be the main course, You can be the dessert and it canuse HICCUP'S UNBROKEN BONES FOR TOOTHPICKS!

    ReplyDelete
  146. Haha! You're so funny! Not. That's not helping Loutsly. Besides, I've got some Salamanders over here. Looks like a whole family of them. *Hands them to Hiccup* There you go! Train it!

    ReplyDelete
  147. Pride: *Helps Hiccup to limp forward to the beast* If I get eaten, you are so dead, Hic.

    ReplyDelete
  148. *Starts narrating* And as Hiccup and Pride walk towards the creepy beast, the adience is silent. Oh! It's growling folks! It's walking towards our brave young men.

    ReplyDelete
  149. You just shut it! Hey there buddy. Want some lizards?

    ReplyDelete
  150. Jeez, lighten up. It's not like we're in a dark cave with a big dragon growling down our necks and some of our friends are about to become CHOPPED LIVER!!!
    Whoops, sorry. Nerves.

    ReplyDelete
  151. *slightly gives Pride a kick in the shin* Shut up! I need to concentrate!

  157. Not your day, huh.
    Creature: *looks apologetic*Me: He didn't mean to do that, right Hic?

    ReplyDelete
  158. *grunting in pain* Nope, no not at all. *scowls at creature* Can you please help me up?

    ReplyDelete
  159. *Puts a hand up* I've got some more salamanders! Anyone want one? No?

    ReplyDelete
  160. Creature: licks wound to seal it.

    there we go

    ReplyDelete
  161. NO!
    Feed it to the dragon
    Creature: *Looks up and licks lips*

    ReplyDelete
  162. Fine. *Edges forward* Here you go weird-dark-creepy-cave-dwelling-dragon. *Holds hand out slowly*

    ReplyDelete
  163. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  164. Careful. It might BITE you!

    ReplyDelete
  165. *Stares at the dragon* No I don't think it will. It looks like a baby. You know, I think it's lost. Poor little guy. *Slowly reaches up and scratches it's head*

    ReplyDelete
  166. Sorry, I'm just kinda stressed after everything that's happened. Plus, I'm barely still in one peice.

    ReplyDelete
  167. That's ok. At least you're awake. Faith is still sleeping over there. Pity. She missed all the excitement.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Not to lay another load of stress on you guys, but could you get me something to eat?

    ReplyDelete
  169. Yeah, sure. Pride? You still have that food you collected earlier before that huge dragon attacked us?

    ReplyDelete
  170. @Aurora @god_dragons_love
    Me: Sure. Here, hands Hiccup a fish

    ReplyDelete
  171. I think pride means go restart at the top.

    ReplyDelete
  172. *takes fish* Is it cooked?

    ReplyDelete
  173. I just saw Dragons 2 again today in 3D, and it was so awesome!!

    ReplyDelete
  174. You've got Toothless Hiccup. Ask him. He's really good at it. I already tried it.

    ReplyDelete
  175. I saw it in Imax 3D last Friday, it was awesome! Glad you enjoyed it though!

    ReplyDelete
  176. Buddy, fire it up? *Toothless cooks the fish with his plasma blast* Thanks bud.

    ReplyDelete
  177. That's awesome. I could watch it a million times in a row.
    When I saw it in the theater for the first time it was in 3D. XD

    ReplyDelete
  178. Awesome!! I loved it, I can't wait to get it on DVD.:)

    ReplyDelete
  179. *Groans* Let's make a fire. I'm tired of the dark.
