	Number of times I've watched the trailer: 18. My pet peeve: people who refer to complete strangers by their first name. The correct ways to refer to a "John Smith" whom you have never met are Smith, Mr Smith, or John Smith. Not "John". He's not your buddy.

I don't think killing someone is right, even in stories. In fact, killing someone in a story, to me, seems only like a plot device to propel the story. No matter how you try to justify it, you still killed someone. That's just wrong. Spoiler: click to toggle Also, I don't think Stoick should be killed. He had a lot of things going for him and just reuniting with the entire family and to getting killed, that seemed harsh to me.

Yet without suffering, there is no conflict, and without conflict, there is no story. Do you really want to watch a movie where everyone is happy all the time? Spoiler: click to toggle As for the timing of Stoick's death, it is true that it lends the event some extra dramatic punch in the short term (a very good thing, if you ask me), but it does also leave Hiccup - and, for that matter, Valka - with support that they wouldn't have had if Stoick had died at some other time. And has been said many other times, most elegantly by TheEleventhViking, Stoick's death is necessary at some point in the overall story. It's really just a matter of whether the second or third film is the better time.

Of course - killing everyone just like in Game of Throne will not be so smart, especially in movie for younger people. I don't like too "mass killing", but if death is used wisely in story, then why not?

I think the point of is that characters are supposed to be sad, along with the audience.

I don't care is Dean told you himself. Nothing is confirmed until we see the movie Thank you, someone with logic.
	"There's something you must remember when riding a dragon. There's no manual, no safety harness, no guarantees when you're on one of these beasts. All you have is the wind in your hair, and the clothes on your back. The only thing between you and that dragon is your saddle. You need to hold onto it for dear life, as that creature takes you the skies. That, is dragon riding."
