Little Announcment!

Little Announcment!

I will write One little Bonus Story to Hiccstrid and their third Child. After That I will maybe when I have the Time, write a Story about Astrid inspired By a German Httyd Comic I read and with maybe some slithe Iron Flame and Fourth Wing refrences or inspired sceneries. Let’s be honest the empyrean Series is amazing❤️‍🔥

When These Stories will arrive I can’t say, because I write on a big novel with my own Characters and I also have school stuff to do.

Kung Fu Panda Fox 4 - from Cinema to Illumination Level

First I was really hyped about this Movie, because I was thinking: Hey they made Puss in Boots: the Last wish what could go wrong? The first Trailer then dropped and it looked promising, then I watched the Movie….

And oh my god why have they removed the Director? Why couldn’t we get Joel Crawford or Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who also worked on 2 and 3. Seriously Mike Mitchell? He is not famous for his incredible Track Record. But to the Film now. As a Standalone it works and it has some good Action Scenes like the Scene in the Tavern. The side Plot with Pos Dads was kinda funny, wish the whole Movie was about them. But the Story was a big disappointment on my side. It just doesn’t makes senses that Po has to pass the Title of the Dragon Warrior, he is in the prime of his life. It’s not like he is diyng or is sick or very old like Oogway was when he chose the new Warrior. Also they reahash the Messages from the first three Movies again as if Po had to learn them again, there no wise words or any emotional hook like in the previous three, which was one of the things I like about KFP so much, the Movie feels lackluster without these elements. Also they do the Hug-Scene with Po and Zhen like with Tigress and Po in KFP2, but less emotional. Apropos I don‘t hate Zhen as a Character, I also doesn’t find her Voice Actress annoying like in the little Mermaid but she doesn’t earn the title Dragon Warrior, it just feels wrong and she looks Designwise straight out Zootopia and doesn’t feel like she belongs in the World of KFP. Her Releationship with Po is okay I guess, but I prefer the fourios Five over her, hell Tigress and Master Monkey Are Pos best Friends, it would be so much better if they go with Po on the Journey and meet Zhen on their way to Juniper City. Also her Backstory reminds me to much of Tigress again. Another one who doesn’t belong is the Chameleon, she is also the reason why we can’t have the fourios five, because her motivation is she is to small to learn Kung Fu and Mantis and Viper are also small but can Kung Fu so…also beware of the Stairs when she’s around. I’ve seen how she pulled the the bear down the stairs. It doesn’t look dramatic. I prefer the word ridiculous. Compared to the other Villains we had she feels lackluster but had a lot of potential to be a great Villain. The plot with the return of the villains is also very useless, Tai Lung is just in the first scene and the end and says something really out of Character. They did Kai (who shouldn’t be there in the first place because his spirit got destroyed in the spirit realm) and Lord Shen dirty too, never would one of them bow to Po. And in my Opinion none of the Villains needed a Redemption. Fuck them to do Lord Shen dirty, he’s my favorite Villain in the Original Trilogy. Also Shifu has nothing to do in this movie, he’s just there for whatever. Also how he talks to Po is like KFP1-3 didn’t happen.

I was genuinly suprised that they have given this movie Illumination Budget, 85 USD that’s not much for a KFP - Movie and embarrassing too. I missed the old background style from this very much. The Original Trilogy has such beautiful backgrounds that looked like Chinese Paintings. To the song baby One more time I have to give one credit, it’s better than the Original but it doesn’t fit KFP at all. In httyd terms it’s like you would play heavy metal instead of Where no one goes, sticks and stones or Toegether from afar at the end.

Well another Franchise on my list I don’t care about anymore, I guess. Count me out if the next Kung Fu Panda Movies are about an Character that doesn’t earn the title and isn’t as enjoyable and charming as Po was. My closing thoughts are: this happens when you try to expand on a Franchise and that has already an ending, with Puss in Boots, Rise of the Guardians or Megamind (until they butchered that too as we had to witness) it is something else, these worlds you can still expand because these movies are in their infancy. With a Movie like KFP this doesn’t work at all, because it had an perfect ending and Pos Character Arc is completed. It’s not a bad Movie by any means, you can still go and enjoy it. Looking back I would also say it was an alright film, a nice gap you can ignore when your more of a fan of the original trilogy. But for KFP it is in my personal opinion a letdown. Also it is just a copy and paste of the Masterpiece that is called KFP2 but without any of the emotions. I’m also lowkey happy though that this movie is so mid, than now KFP3 gets more of the appreciate that it deserve, I’m honest it’s a still a pretty great Movie. The Wild Robot seems like an Apology for Megamind2 and KFP4 now and their last Hope, but I will accept it when I have seen this Movie.

A new Life & the beat of Young Hearts - Part 2

With a skillful flick of his wrist, he turned her and then brought her back into his arms. “Come here, you.” Astrid enjoyed it when his lips lay on hers, his arms wrapped around her and her body pressed against his as much as she could with her huge belly. Her arms wrapped around his neck so he only deepened the kiss. But at that moment she felt something cold running down her leg. Astrid was shocked and her eyes widened. The baby is coming! Now! “Hiccup, the baby is coming!” Suddenly he pulled away from her again. “What did you say?” “My water broke and the baby is coming! Now!" Hiccup winces and whirls around to face his children. “Zephyr, Nuffink! Get your grandparents, quickly! Your little sibling is coming!” The two of them immediately ran towards the village. Hiccup put his arms around Astrid, who was already squinting in pain. He slammed the door to their house, with his arms wrapped tightly around her, he led her into their shared bedroom. “Take it easy, Astrid. Everything will be okay,” he gasped, full of excitement and fear at the same time. “Hiccup, calm down first, you're making me very nervous,” Astrid hissed, who had already started to go into labor. She writhed in pain in his arms as he put her on the bed and helped her undress to make the birth easier. Astrid pressed herself tightly into the pillows as another contraction hit her, her pulse racing. The blood rushing through her veins like a raging mountain river as she took Hiccup's hand and looked deep into his unfathomable jade eyes as he dabbed the sweat from her forehead. She could hear him whispering, feel his calloused hand slide over her shoulder. Then suddenly the door to the bedroom opened and Astrid's mother stormed into the room with wet towels. She immediately started preparing everything before she went to Astrid and told her: "You know what to do?" Astrid nodded and she started to push.

12 hours later: "That's it, Astrid just a little bit more and you've done it," Astrid heard her mother's voice through the roaring pain that went through her and spread to her bones. Hiccup's gentle massage on her shoulders was just an echo in the distance. Her bones protested one last time, then she listened in relief as she heard the sound of a baby crying. She wanted to sit up, to catch a glimpse of her little one, who was now lying in her mother's arms to be washed, but her joints gave way and she slid back onto Hiccup's shoulder. But Astrid didn't have to wait long when her mother returned to her with a small bundle in her arms and placed it on her chest. Ingrid smiled lovingly at her daughter and son-in-law. "Congratulations on your healthy baby girl." Astrid squeezed her mother's hand, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks. "Thank you, mother, for everything." "Yes, thank you Ingrid," Hiccup smiled, even though Astrid could see that he was having a hard time concentrating on his mother-in-law, as his eyes kept wandering to her newborn child. Ingrid said goodbye with a smile before going into the next room where her husband and grandchildren were waiting impatiently. Astrid smiled down at the little girl who was now snuggled up against her chest and looking at her and Hiccup with big blue-green eyes. Hiccup gave his wife a kiss on the temple. "I am so proud of you. So proud.” The baby winked a little as Astrid brought it to her bare breast and suckled with pleasure on her left nipple while Hiccup stroked her golden-brown head. “She still needs a name,” he mused. “What do you think of…Gertrude?” Astrid raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "Was that Tuffnut's idea?" Hiccup grinned. "Yes, he begged for the rest of the days that I would suggest that name to you when the baby was here." "And of course you gave in." Hiccup rolled his eyes, laughing. “Yes, I can hardly refuse my groomsmen anything.” “It was clear,” she laughed and leaned against his chest again. “No, I think I have a better idea. How do you like the name Linka? It means fairy or huntress and our little one somehow reminds me of an fairy, as sweet and delicate as she is." "That's actually a very nice name," Hiccup agreed. “And she really does look a little like a little fairy.”He gently stroked little Feyre's soft cheek. “Welcome to New Berk.”

After an hour of waiting, Zephyr and Nuffink finally got to meet their little sister and they were thrilled and kept asking their mother if they could hold her. Astrid quickly gave in to her children's begging and let her little sister hold her once. “Hello, Linka. I'm your big sister Zephyr and this is your big brother Nuffink." "Hello," gasped Nuffink and let the little fabric figures of Toothless and Stormfly dance with his hands above her little head. "And these are Stormfly and Toothless, they are dragons and live in a Hidden world far out in the ocean." The baby chuckled as the Stormfly stuffed animal shot past her, her little eyes widening. Astrid looked into Hiccup's eyes as he held her close as they watched their three children play. She smiled. “And has your wish now come true?” “Yes,” he said gently and pulled his wife into a deep kiss that led her heart explode in a firework of Love.

Headcanon:

Hiccstrid always plan one day in a week a romantic evening to have some alone couple time. (The kids are then with Valka or Astrids Parents.) Sometimes they sit by the fireplace cuddle up in furs, have a romantic dinner they Cook together, dance slowly under the Stars, take a bath with wine and rose petals or make hot Love when they are in the mood.

I‘ve watched Riders of Berk again after a long Time…

…And I can’t remember likening it that much. For the first httyd Series it’s a pretty good start. Bucket and Mulch are very cute Toegether. I like the Rivaly they set up between Snotlout and Hiccup, the hicctooth-episodes are brilliant and touching, I just say: I save you, you save me. That’s the way it is. The little Moments between Hiccup and his Dad are very cute. makes Httyd2 and httyd3 even more heartbreaking. What I also really like are these little Moments between Hiccup and Toothless, for example in Viking for Hire when they sit in Hiccups Room and Hiccup talks about Gobber to Toothless that he made his metal leg. Outcast Island gives me by the way gothic vibes and it looks pretty cool. Honestly there’s maybe a Chance that they could’ve planned it since than that Johann is going to be a Villain in Rtte, even they haven’t known that they would get Rtte later, some things could be hints, to build something up, for example when he says he has a Knife with him but rejected that after or the fact that he brought Mildew the Dragon Flower. By the way Mildew, I was surprised that he only annoyed me in one episode, in the rest of the season he was a decent villain. The Cinematography was also pretty cool, I personally Love the shot when Hiccup and Snotlout crash land on Outcast Island und you see all these high spiky rocks which are shrouded in fog.

My favorite Episodes are:

Animal House

Viking for Hire

When Lightning Strikes

What flies beneath

Breakneck Bog

Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man

So the Megamind Sequel ended with the Anouncement of another Sequel, god damn Why?

The Short Version of This is: It does the Same thing that the Nine Realms does, insulting the Original. But I‘m not suprised anymore when DreamWorks puts things on Peacock. It‘s just embarissing for Them because they Are the King of Sequels and they could‘ve just Puss in Boots2 us with a theathrichal Release and a real Sequel. Megamind would deserve it. As a Rise of the Guardians Fan and someone who really wants to see my Favorite Santa again on the Big Screen I don‘t want it, if they ever do it, ended like this.

From Megamind to Nevermind, huh @dreamworksanimation ?
