What did you think of Eret, son of Eret?

How do you think he'll adjust to this new life as a dragon rider? If the fourth season of the show follows the second movie, would you want to see him in it? Do you think he'll be in the third film?

If you didn't like Eret, you are welcome to tell us why.

I thought Eret was a worthy addition to the franchise. He had a roguish, unpredictable quality about him that I liked. It was never made completely clear whether he was truly a hero at heart, or if he mostly switched sides out of necessity since Drago was about to kill him. That combined with his unclear origins and history leaves quite a few possibilities open for later. I hope we do see him again.

Me too, I really liked him. I hope that if he ends up in the show they'll explore his past a little more. Like how he met Drago, or who his father was.(Since his title includes "Son of Eret," I wonder what role his pop played in his life.)

What do you think his past was like?

To me, he seems a true-hearted guy, who played a part with Drago, for his own survival. But in another environment, like on Berk, with friends, I'm sure he's an honest, simple and trustworthy person.
He may not be very smart, at least not as much as Hiccup, but probably a good addition to the team, in terms of action as well as friendship.

I agree. I'd like to see him try to be a part of the team.

I actually liked Eret a lot more than I thought I would. He seemed threatening enough at first and then sympathetic later on and I liked how he sort of had a passing friendship with Stormfly. I'd like to see them do more with him as well in the 3rd movie or somewhere else.

I liked him the instant he came on screen (and mind you, I disliked him for some personal reason for quite awhile and this was a shock to me) and I loved almost every time he was given lines or moments to shine.

He's great! It's hard not to like him. How come you didn't like him at first?

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't really like him then?
