"He got me back"
Posted: 30 Jun 2014, 10:53
Just wanted to express my appreciation for the phrase "He got me back." It means two things: the usual kid's "get you back" in the eye-for-eye and tooth-for-tooth sense (though it might be too far to note that the character's name is Toothless) but it also means getting back in the sense of "retrieving". Toothless did get Hiccup back, retrieving him from the fire. And in turn, Hiccup retrieves Toothless from Drago.
There's a lot of good dialog use in that sense in HTTYD2. I noticed that any time a character expressed something, in the old Norse boasting sense, it turned into "Famous Last Words." "It takes more than a little fire to kill me!" Well, no, it took just that. "I won't let anything happen to you" well, yes he does.
Works very well.
