Belos is the one most terrifying kids cartoon villains.
But why?
It’s because he’s tangible almost. He’s real.
Let’s break it down.
Belos is human. He can only be seen reflecting ourselves. While other villains are amphibian kings or godly triangles, or even in our own show- a child that holds way too much power, a woman who cursed her own sister, or a witch kid.
Belos is real. Belos is seen everywhere in the world.
Going further, let’s simplify him.
Belos is a religious dictator who says his way is the only way. He speaks for the Titan. And only he can do so. Any who disagree are damned for eternity.
Belos is a human whose core belief is that his race is the superior one. He’s from the 1600s where witch hunting is their culture and to be a seen or side with a witch is a death sentence. He takes this farther by believing that they deserve death and to suffer.
His beliefs and motivations are things that are inherently wrong yet he’s a political figure that people worship.
When he fails to indoctrinate his brother into his inherently evil ways, he kills him.
Belos is a person who goes against every message being pushed in the owl house.
He is against identity. He is a bigoted mad man. He is a religious cult leader. He attempts genocide.
Sound familiar?
Oh wait those are so many of our current government leaders in the world.
Belos is real in the sense that he is human in the sense that his history has happened and will happen again.
And that’s terrifying.
And important.
This mirror of modern times should terrify us. Because belos is only human and so are we.
If this doesn’t make sense, that’s because I’m sick and it’s the next day. This is my own interpretation but please reblog with your own thoughts because this topic is like one of my favorite things about TOH.
Talk to me…I’m a lonely soul…
Writing a fic is so weird. I’ll be reading it over and crying because I want to read more but it’s not written yet. But then I realize that I control that because I’m the author. Man 😔
I’m on S5 Ep1, and right after they established that they’ve won and have to go back to Berk, Johann shows up.
I know it’s not confirmed but HES SO A VILLAIN. I made an a post about this but I KEEP GAINING EVIDENCE.

I wish boobs were detachable. Because sometimes I want to look like a genderless being, other times the outfit needs boobs.
one my absolutely favorite things about Hiccup is that he’s so supportive of his friends, like even when the twins or Snotlout didn’t mean to give a good suggestion, he’s always praising them for it. He’s always the first/or only one to worry when one of them goes missing. He understands Snotlout inferiority complex, he finds ways in battle to let the twins be destructive in healthy ways, he nerds out with Fishlegs, always makes sure Heather know she’s welcome, is fully prepared to just be friends with Astrid if that’s what she wants, he just loves his friends so goddamn much and it makes so happy.
(it's not the original directors, just dean deblois. chris sanders is not returning to httyd. chris did however direct the wild robot, and i highly recommend it!)
i understand your reasons, and i hope you and your friend get fun out of it, but spending your money on it is still telling the industry 'more of these live action remakes please!'
Oh I absolutely agree! Also I didn’t know not everyone is returning so thanks for that.
Realistically I’ll find a way to pirate it.
Also I love the wild robot!! Made me sob lmao
