Another thought about how to train Your Dragon in the new Version: This iteration of Astrid is growing on me. It's funny how worked up. I was about the teal (I was so disproportionately worried she wouldn't match her dragon lol), but really. That said, I think what felt weird to me, especially was as Jono pointed out the mascara and also I feel like it was a fact that she was so much easier to take seriously and she wasn't comic relief.
At first between the all burgundy outfit and the fact that she had a less edge to start, this sounds silly I felt like I was "missing" cartoon Astrid. It was almost sad like, everything is the same but Astrid isn't here. But I think once her edge and anger showed up a bit, and her team jacket, it felt like "oh good yes she is here, just we get to see even more of her."
It's different, but also good. (And I feel like a traitor, but I almost love this Astrid just as much if not... Maybe liking her having these layers added too even better 👀)
And honestly, I take back my upset that she didn't have the teal right form the beginning. This iteration of her has more dimension and dynamics, so that being reflected in her costume (with the brighter more celebratory teal coming like a later) was actually a great.
All and all fantastic movie, just like the first.

(Sorry my flow is all over the place with this one/doesn't exist really. I'm just kind of adding as I go along, inserting in different spots. Not the normal flow, but just want to get it down for now.)
