But you understood the movies of disney already know how it ends and always with a happy ending and the HTTYD can not guess because they invent something in the end of the movie.

What I'm trying to say is there were "happy endings" long before Disney.

Don't believe me? Google "Joseph Campbell" for some interesting reading on the subject. If you want to blame anyone for what's perceived as too many happy endings, Disney is not the place to start. It also gives you some pretty good insight as to why certain movies and books strike a chord in so many people and are heavily remembered, and yet some others win a couple Oscars and are never heard of again.

Before we all get too caught up in doomsday preparations lets not forget that HTTYD2 is supposed to be the darkest of the trilogy...

Everyone is getting worried about, or is anticipating, a 'bitter-sweet' final chapter. As I think we can all agree a separation of Toothless and Hiccup on unhappy terms like death or abandonment would hit far harder than the death of Stoic it seems unlikely that that would be the case. Given that HTTYD2 is intended as the 'darkest' chapter in the story.
What seems more likely is either no separation of the duo or a 'soft' separation -like their responsibilities to their respective tribes driving them apart or somehing.

Also, without wishing to be a wet blanket... It bears keeping in mind that a lot of fingers were pointed at the darker aspects of HTTYD2 for its underwhelming box office performance. So there might be more pressure from management for rainbow poop than from the fans.

Hope thatc lears it up for you =)

How many mermaids, genies, dragons, sentient penguins do you know personally?

The whole argument is just one big straw man. (People are missing the point.)

For example, the movie Princess Mononoke is extremely dark, has archers lopping heads off left and right with a bow and arrow, and whacks its audience over the head with morals straight out of Captain Planet. I had a hard time identifying with any characters, and would be extremely hesitant to call that "realistic". (Nothing against Studio Ghibli, they do make some darn good movies, but that one was just plain silly. Oh, and by the way? Distributed in the US by Disney.)

Meanwhile Toy Story 3 has toys talking to each other, and yet manages to instill the pleasurable side of growing up and leaving childhood behind: Passing your good times along to the next generation for them to enjoy. I would consider *that* realistic. And yet, nobody had to be red-shirted to get that sense of permanence across.

Body count != realism
