Let me start by saying I love DCC! The first season was so so good. Season two did not live up to my expectations. I LOVE getting to see the girls and their lives. I think it’s so important and valuable to gain insight on their struggles and allow them to speak up for themselves. I don’t think they should change their deep dives or their focus on the girls. But I so missed the dancing this season. We get one episode of a pre season game and then it felt like the season was immediately over. Where is the cheer? Netflix is certainly capable of giving these girls more episodes, longer episodes, and focusing on every aspect of what it is to be a cheerleader. I wanted the focus to be on more than just two girls. I wanted to see more of tryouts. I wanted to see more of their season. I am not by any means saying I want to skip over the real life segments, but I don’t want that to be all we’re given. I don’t know how to explain it, but something about season 2 felt so choppy and so rushed and so short. I felt like they glossed over a lot of things. I felt like they teased some of the girls being main characters and getting more of their stories, only for us to never see them again. Let us get to know the WHOLE team. And let us see their season and them dancing. Most people are watching a cheer documentary for the cheer. I just think Netflix could have done a lot of things better for season 2. I want a season 3, and I want it to be several many more episodes, and for them to do better.

This was so good. This is what I want out of every live action remake that is ever made ever again. The original movies were the greatest creations of all time in my opinion. They were my whole childhood, and my standards walking into the theatre to see this movie were EXTREMELY high. Somehow, the movie still blew past them. Dreamworks has totally raised the bar. I had chills almost the entire movie and was tearing up and crying throughout. From the hand thing, to test drive, to romantic flight, to the final battle. It was so beautiful. The dragons were perfect. While at first I was worried about the casting (twins and Astrid especially), the actors did such amazing jobs and the personalities of the characters were matched so so so well. The visuals were epic. Some scenes from the OG were missing but I'm sure they'll appear in extended additions in future. I know nobody was asking for a live action remake of this movie, but after watching I understand that we needed one. From a super fan who was so prepared to hate this movie and have my whole childhood and obsession with the HTTYD world crushed, please go watch this movie. I will be watching it again and can't wait for the sequel remakes as well. So good.

Disney is in the gutter. Do better.
