Why "How to Train Your Dragon 2" is a cow turd of a film (Spoilers)

I absolutely loved the first movie. It was a fun coming of age story in an animated film. The relationship between the father and son was a great angle for the film, and there were lots of lessons to be learned. Hiccup convinced his father and whole village that dragons made much better allies than prey. He changed the village for the better, and the new relationship that the village had with dragons was a beautiful one that promised safety for the once suffering dragons.

"How to Train Your Dragon 2" has garnered rave reviews, and many believe it is a favorite for an Oscar. What a load of bullshite.

What is the main theme of this movie? Feel free to abandon your marriage and parental responsibilities if you have a cause that you personally feel is worth fighting for.

Sounds like everything that is wrong with our society today. Today, less than 50% of children grow up in a home with two married parents. And this movie aims to make that stat worse.

In this sequel, we discover that Hiccup's mother has been alive all of this time. She abandoned her family to go protect some dragons. And let's not forget the situation she left Hiccup in. If not for finding an injured dragon in the first film, he would have been left to lead a miserable life full of shame, knowing full well that his father loathed him. If not for complete luck, Hiccup would have continued down the terrible path he was going, very likely leading to suicide in his young adult years. After all, he was shown nothing resembling love in his formative years, and he had very little self worth.

frick this movie. His mom wasn't even likable when we did meet her. Even her apology was lame. Hey parents of America. Guess what. There is nothing in the world that gives you permission to abandon your duties as a parent. Hopefully, kids around the country aren't letting their terrible parents off the hook now because they liked this shitstorm Hollywood calls a movie.
