Less is more. Please don't add any more material as it is already too long. Thanks. --John (talk) 18:00, 27 July 2011 (UTC)


 * But less is not "wrong." Wrong is wrong! I thought "anyone could edit."

 * Oh yes, anyone can edit, but this cuts both ways, as anyone who disagrees with the edits you make can also undo them. Let me know if you need any more help. --John (talk) 18:37, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

You're diplomatic. Appreciate it. But the current version fails to note the importance of brains over brawn. Hiccup's desire for his Father's respect. The change in perspective of dragons as pests to pets. What follows is a superior plot...notwithstanding the length. Mine's better. Intelligent people can disagree. But let the reader decide. Just FTR.

The island of Berk has been plagued by pests--dragons that steal livestock and burn their homes. Hiccup, the slight, bright, awkward son of the village chieftain, Stoick the Vast, uses a cannon contraption he invented and shoots down a dragon he thinks may be a Night Fury, a rare dragon nobody has ever actually seen, but all fear. Hiccup locates the dragon in the forest, hoping to kill it as a fierce Viking, thereby winning his Father's respect. But Hiccup finds he is unable to kill the helpless animal, and instead cuts it free, and the dragon disappears into the forest. Meanwhile, Stoick assembles a fleet to seek out the dragons' nest, but before he leaves, he places Hiccup in dragon-killing classes taught by Gobber, the village blacksmith. Searching the forest, Hiccup finds the dragon trapped in a deep cove; the dragon's tail injured, preventing it from flying normally. By trial and error, Hiccup discovers a way to earn the dragon's trust and begins to feed and care for it. He names the Night Fury "Toothless," for its retractable teeth. Soon after, Hiccup fashions a make-shift saddle, harness and prosthetic tailfin that allows him to pilot the dragon in flight. Toothless comes to trust Hiccup, and reveals his gentle side to the Viking. Hiccup is able to transfer his knowledge of dragons to the other species of dragons at school, conquering each with familiarity rather than force, and becomes the star pupil, much to the dismay of Astrid, a girl in dragon training upon whom Hiccup has a crush. Hiccup wins the competition and gets the chance to kill a dragon in front of the entire village. Astrid, suspicious of his sudden skill, follows Hiccup to the secret cove and is shocked to discover Toothless. She tries to attack the dragon,then runs to tell the rest of the village, but Hiccup coerces Astrid into flying with Toothless. At first, Astrid is terrified, but then begins to enjoy the romantic flight through clouds, Northern Lights, and gliding over the village of Berk. Toothless unexpectedly joins a flock of dragons and takes the pair straight into the dragon's nest, where the truth behind the dragons' constant raids of their village is revealed - a gigantic dragon, the Red Death, lives off the food they bring back, else it feeds on the dragons themselves. The pair return soon after the battered Viking fleet arrives home and Stoick learns of his son's brilliant exploits in school. Hiccup is put to his final exam the next day, but when he throws down his weapons, and tries to show the village the dragon's true gentle nature, Stoick stops the fight inadvertently angering the dragon and endangering Hiccup. Toothless hears Hiccup's cries and escapes the cove to save him, but is captured himself. Hiccup, attempting to explain his actions, reveals that he has found the dragons' nest. He tries to warn his Father of the danger, but Stoick disowns his son and sets off with another fleet, using a restrained Toothless as their guide. Astrid inspires Hiccup to concocts a rescue plan to save the Vikings with the help of the school's captive dragons and his classmates. The teens come to the rescue on their flying dragons after the Viking fleet has already uncovered the gargantuan Red Death dragon. Hiccup's classmates distract it while Hiccup goes to save Toothless, who is chained to a sinking ship. Hiccup and Toothless almost drown, but both are saved by a now-repentant Stoick. Hiccup and Toothless lure the giant dragon into flight, and in some daring aerial maneouvers, Toothless fires a blast to the flammable gas inside its mouth, forcing the Red Death into an inescapable fiery tailspin into the ground. Attempting to flee from the exploding dragon, Hiccup falls off Toothless, and Toothless dives into the fireball after him. After the explosion has settled, Stoick finds Toothless, who reveals an unconscious Hiccup safely wrapped in his wings. Hiccup wakes up back on Berk, finding an eager Toothless greeting him. As he leaves his bed, he discovers his left foot has been replaced by a prosthetic foot made by Gobber. His grief is turned to joy however, as he steps outside to find the Vikings and dragons living peacefully and coexisting as welcome and helpful pets, and Hiccup discovers his rebuilt mechanical foot links perfectly to Toothless' tailfin controls, and the Viking teens race through the village skies on their dragons to celebrate the new natural harmony in Berk.
