Perhaps I’m reading too much into it, but ::: spoiler spoiler The plot cleanly maps to the European “Jewish Question”, except dragons are the Jews in this story. The Hidden World is Israel, a place to put all the dragons because the Vikings are too antisemitic antidraconic to coexist peacefully; and gosh darn it, it’s too hard to change their minds. EVEN THOUGH a central theme in movies 1 and 2 is the opposite: that the people of Berk can change their minds about dragons, and that people generally can overcome bigotry. All of that goes out the window with the third movie. :::

...is basically the backstory to Star Trek, but worse?

Going from the Season 2 shenanigans, continuing on the "love is the answer" themes. I understand what it was going for as a movie, and pulled it off kinda competently.

The ending was frankly weird, with Setsuna going all Mass Effect 3 ending to end the conflict out of nowhere. But I did like the portrayal of the aliens themselves. An unknowable entity you might not even be able to communicate with, not to mention know their intentions. You know what this reminds me of? Oh wait I already mentioned that series in the first sentence.

Overall, a good Gundam AU, that failed to live up to its heights from Season 1. Fantastic music though. It made me go down a kick of 2000s Japanese Alt Rock.
