One thing about students riding dragons...

I find this part a little too rushed. The first half of the movie was showing us a bond that took time to create,a beautiful thing indeed between Toothless and Hiccup. The tricks that he learned is to make dragons wonder if the individual is a threat to them and vice versa. But when the Vikings are in trouble suddenly students start ridding dragons, and to make thing even more ridiculous they go against their queen or mother or w/e. I don't understand, did they like want to get free of her reign somehow, or is just that part too rushed for dragons to start trusting people all over sudden and go against their queen. It just felt wrong somehow. Appart from that movie was very touching, and felt very human, made me think about a human race thousands of years ago, what would it happen if a neanderthal didnt pick up a spear you know... :(

I agree that it was a bit rushed. I think we're too assume that the kids learned all kinds of tips from Hiccup when they started following him around.

Astrid calls the Green Death the queen as an ANALOGY, comparing it to the queen bee of a bee hive. It is not literally their queen, and it most definitely wasn't their mother. It just mind controls them into bringing it food and then eats them if they don't bring enough. They had no reason to have loyalty to the thing.

The movie needed it I guess.

Weren't they young dragons though.....kid dragons? If they were they would probably be trusting quicker than an adult.

If they were adults than we just had to suspend belief for that part.
