Obviously Dreamworks has some big plans. But I don't think they intended us to dwell on Stoick's death for very long. While it is late in the game, it still gives the feel that there's some big challenges ahead.

I have a feeling, that the whole sequel is just a preparation for last movie. Now we have more much questions to answer than after first movie, not only about future, but about past too. Drago and Night Furies for sure... And i don't think, that Stoick's death will be forgotten - i'm sure, that events from sequel are going to be important. And definetly not because "Now i'm a chief, i'm doing chief's thing, hurr durr i'm so important here"
