10 How To Train Your Dragon Theories So Crazy They Might Be True

Another thing about the “Toothless Doesn’t Know Hiccup shot him down.” In Race to the Edge, there is an episode where the riders fantasize about how everything would have happened without war. At the end, Hiccup says that none of this would have happened if he had not shot down Toothless in the first place. Toothless doesn’t seem so fazed by this, indicating that he did in fact know that Hiccup was the one to shoot him down.

Toothless understands every word Hiccup says. Each of his reactions to what Hiccup talks about proves that. And even, after Hiccup told his mother about how he is the one who shot Toothless down, his immidiate reaction was like "I don't care bout that anymore OuO" not a know nothing face

Love how many of these "theories" are disproven in the third film

Love the "but we see toothless flying straight up without hiccup!" Yeah, still has wings mate. You don't need a tail to fly 3 feet into the air.

“Night fury’s can fly for long distances” “The hidden world” night fury’s can’t fly far for long

In the 3rd movie Astrird mentions that toothless hated the wing hiccup made for him which allowed him to fly by himself. Therefore, the events in the show did happen and were not dreams

Hiccup was a member of Vikings. When you look around the village it doesn’t seem to be rare for people to loose parts of their body. I think for Hiccup it was actually something usual to see and easier accept

I can completely Unconfirm the "Hiccup in a coma/Dream" theory, in one of the episodes and Dragons race to the edge [Which is cannon] hiccup mentions 'Tornado' [Stoicks old dragon] to stoick and in How to Train Your Dragon 2 we can see skullcrusher [Or bone crusher I can't remember the name] was introduced in that movie and in the third movie 2 another reference to race to the edge, in one of the episodes where the Skrill comes back Hiccup and the Gang try to trap it the same way they did in Riders of Berk [or Defenders of Berk] but the Skrill remembers that trap instead traps Hiccup and Toothless in the ice cave So I'm pretty sure Hiccup wasn't in a dream or a coma during Riders/Defenders of Berk

3:00 “He flew up without hiccup” Thats. called. jumping. Also bruh, legit. Got no notifs of likes or comments on this and checking 2 years later, this is my most seen comment so thanks yall.

Imma bout to destroy the "toothless can fly theory". Seen in the first film, toothless can fly, he just can't coordinate. Which was why he was trapped in the coven. He would beat his wings a few times to get himself hovering, but he couldn't dive up, as seen in literally every series and movie's. When a dragon flies, it launches itself up then proceeds in any direction. Without coordination, they cannot go in any direction. Hence, they can fly, but can't hover.

I don't want to be annoying, but i can depower almost all of these theories

I have a really good argument against the Hiccup's dream theory. When Eret tells the riders about Grimmel in the third movie, he describes him as a villain that likes to get into the mind of his prey and control its choices and that everything is a game to him. That he is a very smart dragon hunter. Hiccup then says "we've dealt with his kind before". If nothing from the shows is canon, then who is Hiccup talking about? Drago? It can't be because Drago is the complete opposite kind of person to what Eret describes Grimmel to be. But Viggo Grimborn from Race to the Edge matches every single one of the things Eret describes about Grimmel and is much closer to being of Grimmel's "kind" than Drago, who is the only person Hiccup could possibly be talking about if only the movies were canon. Hiccup's single line about dealing with a cunning, manipulative dragon hunter in the past singlehandedly makes the shows canon, because Viggo Grimborn is the only hunter Hiccup could possibly be talking about that matches Eret's description of Grimmel's "kind". And if Viggo is canon, so is Race to the Edge, and if Race to the Edge is canon, so is Riders and Defenders because Race to the Edge is kickstarted by Dagur escaping from prison after being captured at the end of Defenders. (Plus, this is a little bit of personal headcanon, but in Hiccup's closing narration in the second movie, he mentions how their enemies have armies and armadas, which I take as a reference to Riders and Defenders since Alvin had an army of Outcasts, and Dagur was notorious for his enormous armada). (Not to mention, the third movie also confirms Gift of the Night Fury is canon because Astrid tells Hiccup when he's making Toothless' new tail, "you tried it once before. He didn't want it." I absolutely love that they snuck these obscure, one-liner references to the shows in that only the more dedicated fans are going to catch.) And to be fair about Hiccup not seeming bothered that he lost his leg, he's a Viking and most of the village seems to be missing at least one limb, so it doesn't seem to be all that uncommon and occurence that you might actually be expecting to happen at some point in your life if you were born in this universe

They need to make a how to train your Dragon 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 because they are GOOD

how is fishlegs not smart. He is the one that reads all the time to study dragons

I think that Toothless’s tail fins are actually just vital for steering. So when he flew straight up, he didn’t need much steering, and so he was able to fly straight up

“The episodes were dreams that hiccup had while in a coma” But in the episodes, Stoik got Skull-crusher which can be seen in the 2nd movie

Toothless knew Hiccup shot him down. Hiccup said so when he found Tothless all tangeled in his net. He also said " I Did this, I did this." After deciding Not to kill Toothless. So Hiccup cut Toothless free, expecting him to fly away. This was before they made friends. Also a good reason why Toothless screamed in Hiccup's face, he was letting Hiccup know just how mad he was - short of killing him. I believe Toothless forgave Hiccup, because Hiccup did everything withing his ability to "fix" Toothless's tail and helped him fly again.. When Gobber said " A Downed dragon is a dead dragon" in the first movie, Hiccup stayed up all night making Toothless a new tail fin. And then was thrilled that it worked. Hiccup was still learning his smithing trade, he built what he could at the time. The older Hiccup got, the more improvements he made.

Drago killed all the night furies! Httyd 3: oh hell nah

Theory 2. No he can not be responsible for killing most the nightfurry's because in the 3rd movie the main protagonist said he killed every last one of them except for hiccups.

Hiccup's coma and Rider's plan are both canon, not theories. Also, Toothless understands exactly what Hiccup means and knows that Hiccup shot him down, but didn't eat his leg as both Gobber and Stoic react like it was burnt off in the fall rather than ripped away, which would immediately arouse suspicion
