This Movie Is Definitely An Underrated Gem

This Movie is definitely an underrated Gem

It’s the perfect Arc for Shrek. It’s funny sometimes and there are still the classy pop songs but this all doesn’t matter on how good this movie is. There’s Emotion, there are darker tones, there’s tell don’t show. Fiona and Shreks Releationship when they fall all over in Love again is so touching and beautiful at the same time. Puss and Donkey were hilarious together as always. The Villain was great, I really like his Modevation and the way he was spoken and portraited through the film. The Orge dance party with the rat catcher was amazing. It’s brilliant to make the rat catcher of Hameln of all people a bounty hunter when you look at the original Folk tale. The message was so good and the emotional moments hit, you care. It’s such a good ending to conclude shreks Story. surprisingly enough the guy who ruined KFP4 directed this movie. But you also have take into account that this was planned, so maybe Jeffrey Katzenberg was looking over his shoulder the whole time, to make sure he did everything right. I think this is now my favorite Shrek movie. (Sorry fairy godmother but you will always be my favorite shrek villain.) I can highly recommend it will not waste your time. Check it out and I’ll link schaffrialls review about it, because he can describe everything better what’s great about this movie than me. Hey if this movie is an underrated gem among fans so is httyd3, both movies do more things right than wrong. THW and Shrek 4 are in my opinion one of the magnum opuses of this Studio.

I‘ve read it till the last page and I‘m so excited for your next chapters. @drakaina-amore64 But just take your time, I read some of your notes above and I feel you, as someone who is currently writing on her own novel and trying to finish some fanfics and dealing with school stuff at the same time.

Honestly this Fic made my day. Hiccup was so cute even though he felt a bit different from the movies, but hey it’s modern AU so it fits pretty well. Also you got me a little bit recovered from my recent reading that is called Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. At least I care about this characters here and it was exciting and it is always nice to see Hiccstrid Interacting. By the way the tension between them was wonderful and that comes from a Person who is not a big fan of either Romantsy or Romance as the main plot in general. But here it worked really well. Such a touching Story. I love how Hiccup cares for her deeply and you can clearly see that he loves her really much, just like in the Movies. He would do anything for her, so sweet!

Astrid walked into the doctors, coming to stand in the long queue. Fear was gripping every single nerve in her body, making her shiver even though the air was warm. She had no clue what to expect, none at all.

“Hello dear,” the receptionist said, peering up from the computer. “What are you here for?”

“I’m here to ah – I have a doctor's appointment, at 3pm. My name is Astrid Hofferson.”

Astrid tapped her fingers on the desk, waiting for the receptionist to look her up on the computer.

“Excellent. Have a seat Miss Hofferson, Dr. Zimmerman will be with you shortly.”

Astrid pulled away and walked over to the row of chairs that were mostly filled. She found one in the corner, where a young mother and two toddlers were sitting. Sitting down awkwardly, she smiled at the mother and pulled out her phone to scroll through social media while she waited. The two children were grizzling and throwing themselves around in their seat, obviously sick of waiting. The mother was desperately trying to settle them, offering snacks as a distraction when other people in the waiting room began to stare.

That’s freaking fantastic 🥰

I just had to correct him on Stoicks side here in the flashbacks. That’s actually not a reckon it’s a different side from his Character. He tried to be the best father he could in a world where dragons are common threat. He was just softer in their early years because it was easier to protect him. This got harder and harder when Hiccup got older. It shows us a softer, more sensitive side of Stoick we first saw glimpses of it in the first and second movie. For example the smile He gave Hiccup in the end of httyd1 and the dancing and the dreaming sequence with Valka in httyd2.

Sry for this long explaination, I just can’t stand when People say the third movie ignores the other two for whatever reason. It does the exact opposite: it takes the foundations that were lay out in the first two and expand them beautifully.

A Little Look back at the Fourth Wing Doulogy so far

I still don’t hate the books just Violet and Xadens Romance annyoed me trough one and two. Also still don’t care about Xaden at all. My biggest issue with him is how he is written and designed, he feels more like marketing and a copy and paste of Rhysand but forgetting what makes Rhysand interesting and compelling. Also can someone tell me why they love each other, aside from having sex with each other? It just feels written without emotion and thought. They are some good Ideas but they are mostly in the background. I would’ve liked to see more bonding between Violet and her dragons, more of Vi and her friends and family, more of the political stuff. The Dragons are treaten like mindless creatures. Also why does no Dragon have a saddle? Would make things much easier. I also don’t understand the comparison to httyd anymore, Violet and Tairn are not even like Hiccup and Toothless at all, they also don’t give the vibes of this incredible friendship that Hiccup and Toothless share. Name me one bonding moment between them? Also the comparison between Violet and Hiccup just makes me angry now, because Hiccup is a million times better written and way more intelligent than Violet. Violet is very two dimensional and a Mary Sue. They both have disabilities: Hiccup with his leg and Violet with her ehlers-Danlos syndrome. In httyd Hiccups metal leg is a handicap for him but he doesn’t treat it like a handicap even though it baffles him sometimes, he improves it troughout the trilogy. In Violets case her Syndrome just disappears. She doesn’t find a way to Life with it easier, it is just never brought up again or treated as important as it should in a book with a person that has this kind of illness. The only thing Violet thinks about is fucking Xaden, her whole world centers around him, her Family feels less important. Everything feels less important. And now we are back to all the relationship drama with Violet and Xaden. In the second book their romance is just toxic, they remind me a lot of Tom and Jun from T9R, but both romances weren’t even good to begin with. But the whole book I was just: Break up or finally die Xaden. Hell I was rudding more for Dain and his Releationship to Violet as Friends in the second book. Please never compare Violet and Xaden to Hiccstrid, that would be disgrace to a very natural, very well developed and written couple. That is probably the best Couple in Cinema/Literature. Fourth Wing 1 and 2 are really overrated and it shouldn’t count in the section of Fantasy and Romantsy. Erotic Fantasy fits better. I just wished the romance wouldn’t be the focus of the Story, it could be so much more fantastic and unique if we haven’t Violet and Xaden want to fuck each other the whole time. The Story suffers under it. Rebecca Yarros has talent I could see that in more of the stuff that is going on the background. But if I were you, I would have given myself more time to practice and to figure and develop stuff and characters more. (Also mind of a scriber, heart of a rider is basically heart of a Chief, Soul of a Dragon)

But thanks to these books I know exactly what I shouldn’t do in writing a Fantasy novel were a romance is in it. I can promise you that, the love story in my first book is not the center of the Story it’s actually inspired and modelled after Hiccstrid. Which every Romance Author should take a cake of, because Hiccstrid is awesome in every way possible.

For all who love both httyd and Spirit🥰🫶🏻

Let’s appreciate the Hobgobbler because this little guy was inspired by one of Dean DeBlois Dogs.

I want to pet this little guy so badly. I really need a plushie from it. It’s one of the best things ever introduced in the httyd-franchise.
