Actually, Lux means light in latin, so that is incorrect.

“Luka” in Latin means “light”

“Couffaine” in French is “from the coffin”

Luka’s name means “light from the coffin”

...

wtf

I'm sorry, but Light furies aren't female Night furies. In the movie, Grimmel clearly states that he has killed every Night fury except Toothless. Light furies are a different subspecies (they are not extinct, as there are more of them in the Hidden World).

HTTYD3 Review: I’m Disappointed (SPOILER WARNING)

I’m going to be honest and tell you all that I was disappointed with this final installment of the HTTYD Animated Universe. 

SPOILER WARNING. 

Starting with just basics, did anyone notice how Valka went from brunet to a red-head? Or how Stoick went from having red hair to brown in this movie? Because I did and that’s weird. Also, for some reason, the characters seem to look younger than they were in HTTYD2, despite a year having passed for them in-universe. I mean, granted their hair has grown, but their faces are rounder and more youthful looking than before. It’s odd. Hell, even Valka seemed to be missing some wrinkles. 

Character development took a nose dive for anyone who wasn’t Hiccup. Snotlout is as obnoxious as always, but now his character development has fallen back to what it was in the early seasons of the shows (and first movie) where he thinks he’ll be chief if Valka likes him. I mean, hasn’t he already established himself as one who trusts Hiccup as a leader via the show? Isn’t he loyal enough–and dare I say intellectually developed enough given the time he’s spent growing in the animated series+HTTYD2–to have earned a seat on Hiccup’s council in this movie? And what about Ruffnut? Ruffnut has proven herself to be smarter than her brother and one who knows when to set aside the fun/insane/personal for the betterment of the group. At the start of HTTYD3, she seems to be holding this up (despite her new-found narcissism) until she lets the antagonist follow her back. At first, I thought she had some in-depth plan, NOPE–turns out she’s lost all her wit in the last “year” between movies 2 and 3. Which reminds me, Barf and Belch have shown to be almost impossible to ride without two riders at one time, nice to know that this is conviently forgotten in order to leave Ruffnut behind. 

The other characters in our main five didn’t really get any further development. Except maybe having Astrid get a bit more involved in talking to Hiccup thanks to Valka pushing her to–but that felt really awkward because it made Astrid go from an active character to a passive character. 

And, what about Toothless? Why is everyone so sure that Toothless would abandon Hiccup for the female Nightfury? Toothless, I was sure, would come back to Hiccup and he does, I know Hiccup went to the Hidden World and made him come back early, but Toothless doesn’t immediately turn back once he’s arrived to New-Berk with Hiccup. He stays and that shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone. Toothless and Hiccup are extremely close–closer than anyone else is to their dragons (which all of Berk knows) so why are they assuming Toothless will forever abandon Hiccup now that a female Nightfury has arrived? It is, therefore, no surprise to me that Toothless comes back with Hiccup and stays there, leaving his new mate-for-life behind initially (until we find out she follows them). 

Oh, and for clarification: Lightfuries are Nightfuries– they’re just females. The antagonist, a Nightfury (hunting) “expert,” tells us so. I was mad about that at first, but I started rethinking that as the movie began. Given how white can easily blend into the clouds even without the camouflage, it makes sense to me that white would be a good color. It’s the most reflective, so if they didn’t like camouflage (which maybe they can’t in youth), white would make sense. White can also easily blend into a night sky as stars appear white, the moon is white, and clouds appear white under moonlight. Males of most species tend to have more colors, it’s to attract danger way from females. While black is great for hiding at night and in the shadows, a black dot is going to be way more visible in the day so again, it kind of makes sense that the males of the species are black. However, this careful thought invested in design seems to die the minute we see the multi-colored offspring of Toothless and his mate at the end. Why? Well, unless the baby Nightfuries are genderless at birth or just getting their colors to define what sex they are, it doesn’t make sense for them to be two different colors (particularly if white=female and black=male). Also, the idea that camouflaging is something they learn as they age goes right out the window when we see the little ones going in and out of visibility as the family is flying at the end of the movie. 

Side note, the antagonist is not a great Nightfury expert. He says that Nightfuries have a short flight span and can’t stand weather that’s too cold. Odd considering that Berk snows 9 months out of the year and hails the other 3, right? (They’re pretty far North is what I mean). Also odd since Toothless has the longest flight time of any other dragon on the island. Someone’s facts aren’t exactly at Fishlegs’ quality, are they? Also, his tracking is sh*t considering he couldn’t find New Berk on his own and had to use Ruffnut. 

Look. I am a huge fan of the HTTYD animated series (and the books). I really wanted to love this movie. Heck, I dressed up, braided my hair like a Viking, and carried three dragon plushies around my neck in a ribbon harness as I went to the earliest showing I could find for this movie (6 PM EST, FEB. 22).  I hoped that this movie would give me closure after I’d been obsessing over and telling people how well written everything from the first two movies to the specials and shows are–only to have the end of this beloved series feel like an empty promise. The design was weak. When there were promising starts to story elements, the writing seemed to half-a** the endings. The movie left a sour taste. 

Of the movie, there are three scenes I have absolutely no fault with: 

1. The council meeting BEFORE Tuffnut speaks. 

2. The boat scene where Toothless and Hiccup reconnect and Hiccup introduces Toothless to his children. 

3. The final moment as the whole family flies into the sunlight. 

I wanted to add the two moments we have with Astrid and Hiccup alone that slightly reflect the individual scenes from HTTYD1+2 respectively (cliff side, and cliff tops), but the new-found hesitation between Astrid and Hiccup’s coming marriage put a dent in that.

That’s it. Out of a 1 hour and 44 minutes runtime, I have three truly memorable scenes that felt grand, and everything else was so-so. 

I still recommend seeing the movie because you get some closure. But, if you’re as big a fan as I am, I think you should prepare for some disappointment in this final installment.

Stormy Weather 2: The Gabriel Storm. Ps: It didn't just reach France, other limiting countries are also being affected, such as Spain. You really outdid yourself this time Hawk Moth!

So right now in France there’s a snow storm called Gabriel and like … wow how low did you have to go Hawkmoth? You think snow is gonna make us angry and akumatized? Pfff

Gabriel Agreste really just out their throwing his son off of a building, for the SECOND TIME

Never!!

I'm reading sherlock holmes again

Holmes: I think the murders were done by poison. This poison burned on this lamp. The poison and lamp I have here, now.

Watson: Cool but you're not going to light that deadly poison on that lamp here, right? Because that would be insane.

Holmes:

Watson:

Holmes:

Watson:

Holmes: You can leave

Watson, sighing, getting out of his chair: Let me at least open a window...

Holmes, already lighting the deadly poison: Bet.

Actually, in French, which is the original language, Hawk Moth (or Le Papillon) doesn't say 'Dark wings rise'. Instead, he says 'Noroo, transform me', just like the other heroes! The modified it when it was translated into English.

Quick lil rambling that could probably be answered by spending 5 minutes on the wiki

So like,,, I kinda just gotta talk some stuff out

First of all I find it… intriguing? That at least three of the miraculouses are gender coded (earrings, haircomb, necklace) like don’t get me wrong I am actively campaigning for the abolishment of the gender binary but that’s not what I’d expect from a kid’s show (the abolishment, not the gendering)

Now so we know the miraculouses aren’t exactly a one to one senario here. The same miraculous can be shared between two people with very little time span between (wayzz/carapace), and the same person could wield two different miraculouses (alya would have gotten the bee, when she already has had the fox multiple times) Now, does a holder have to renounce the kwami, or just take off the jewelry? Renouncing doesn’t take much time or have any consequences. We know Gabriel suspected Adrian because of his ring, so could either simply taking off the jewelry or renouncing the kwami be a relatively easy way to hide a miraculous? Granted, for someone like marinette this would be far too much trouble to go through, since plain black stud earrings are quite common. But adrien’s ring, which is rather bulky and distinctive? Or the fox necklace, or the bee haircomb? For Nino, the bracelet is pretty inconspicuous, and fits in with his look, but the others are relatively,, rare, especially now that the world knows at least somewhat what a miraculous is, thanks to chloe. I get that for someone like hawkmoth, wherein the miraculous notifies him when someone could be akumatized, this would be inconvenient, but for the heros, whose tell is less a flashing miraculous and more a literal akuma? It’s not even as if the kwamis have some sort of akuma intuition…

Side note, I lowkey hate the fact that hawkmoth’s miraculous comes with an alert. What are its criteria? Will it do the same person more than once? If no, then transformed heros count as separate from their civilian counterparts, right? Would it do this if it were being used for good? Does the good version of the moth miraculous have an emotion requirement? Every other time someone gets a miraculous the kwami has to tell them the key phrase to transform, but “dark wings rise” seems pretty specifically evil (side side note: WHAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF LET’S POUNCE). And if all the miraculouses are intended to be good, they seem a little op to just fight normal crime (granted I do like to call ladybug basically spiderman but like,,, cataclysm? Thats,,, kinda overkill if we’re talking like a bank robbery or something). Aditionally, if the moth was intended to be good, why would ladybug have the power to purify akumas? I can see the need to stop like,, a kind of reverse stoneheart where you just have evryone as copies of the origubal hero, but it generally feels like the moth miraculous should contain the power to purify the akumas, not an entirely other hero. Additionally, the moth is,,, really op, even by miraculous standards. A superhero of your choice? Just like that? Designed to benefit you? Hawkmoth should have the same 5 minute count down everyone else has, so he’s gotta detransform and feed nooroo sometime between akumatization and deakumatization, yet he still maintains the connection to the akumatized villains. There’s conceivably no limit to his rein. Granted it’s unclear who decides the akuma power set, but still. Give him five minutes and he’s duplicated the entire miraculous team (for good or evil). It’s.. kind of a waste to make so many unless you expect some of them to “fall into the wrong hands)

Anyway, the point of this was how multiple miraculouses would work (ei, say marinette managed to hold onto the bee, but gave it to herself because no one was left) - does the costume change? Does the order matter? Do the powers just stack or do they combine into one combo power? Does the time limit change?

There’s just… a lot of unanswered questions floating around in my head
