Being a remake of animation adaptation released in 2010 by DreamWorks Animation, the new film has some changes compared to the original plot that adds more depth to the story that follows the young Viking called Hivest, which grew on Berk Island where everyone has the main must kill dragons. The boy ends up changing the tradition of his people by making friends with the most mysterious and feared dragon of all: Banguela, a powerful fury of the night.

Thinking about what is different, Recreio has gathered in the list below 5 changes and additions that can be found in live action; Check it out:

[CUIDADO! HÁ SPOILERS SOBRE O REMAKE ABAIXO]

1. Astrid’s story

While in animation the motivation for Astrid to have the desire to be the best dragon killer is not revealed, in live-action the audience eventually finds that she comes from a family of amazing warriors, but yet they have had difficulties throughout their lives. Motivated to changing the accompanying fate, she decides to work hard to be able to find a prominent place, and one day becoming Berk’s leader, as well as Stoic.

“She struggled a lot to gain the attention she receives,” explained the director Dean Deblois to Screenrant. “With stoic, she is the daughter he would love to have had, but ended up with sob. Hiccup never focuses on this destination. His mind goes elsewhere. He has the benefit of privilege. He is the chief’s son, so he turns, and is a great dynamic because Astrid can really challenge him. Falling in disgrace with Hiccup. This has excited me in this regard.

2. The island of Berk

In live action, Berk Island has new peoples. “The truth is that the Vikings traveled for a long time. They were on the silk route. They were in the Far East. They were in North Africa. They even had a name to North Africa, which was called Blaland. They interacted with all these cultures and traded with all of them. Deblois.

The insertion of these peoples increases the representativeness of the universe of “how to train your dragon” and brings greater depth, as in history these groups from different parts of the world come together in Berk to eliminate something they believed were the greatest threat all and those they tried to stop for years: dragons.

3. Stoic’s determination to end the dragons

In live-action, Stoic’s will to end dragons once and for all is more fervently reinforced than in animation. This is because there is more emphasis on how he sees these beings by bringing reports about Stoic’s past, and the repetition about the way he feels knowing that a dragon was responsible for taking the person he loved most: Valka, the mother of Hiccup.

4. The dynamics of Father and Son of Stoic and Hiccup

There is also more tension between Stoic and Hiccup. In the new story, there is more weight to Berk’s leader’s criticism of his son who are more evident with subtle details in the duo’s dialogues, which show how much the difference in ideologies between them, added to the difficulty of dialogue and the failed expectations eventually turned them away with the great love they feel for each other.

5.

In the remake, there is still something unprecedented: the relationship of melechento and taste. In the films, the complexity of father and son is not presented, but in the new movie, there is room to address a little more from the dynamics between them, which begins with a distance from the father while the son desperately seeks the public support of the father figure, yielding comical moments that end with a happy ending: proud taste of his son’s deeds.
