started reciting the dialogue in httyd 2 to my sibling while listening to the soundtrack
im shocked at how much i still remember these two movies have been etched into my brain
during the concert ppl were clapping after stoick freed toothless. i couldn’t tell if it was bc hiccup and toothless were reunited or bc stoick did the right thing but it’s going to take a lot more than that for me to forgive stoick in the first movie idgaf
this might be a hot take but all the characters in httyd 2 are very immature despite the 5 year timeskip and it’s def bc chris sanders and will davies weren’t on the writing team
i wish csm had leitmotif for denji as a human and another for denji as chainsaw man esp when he’s really insane and embodying “chainsaw man” and they have a track where both leitmotifs sync up so when part 2 comes, that track can be disjointed when his identity crisis occurs
denji has a history of forgetting traumatic moments. he could have fabricated the whole memory of making it look like suicide or forgotten the yakuza even did that. worse, the yakuza could have terrorized him and forced him to be complicit while covering it up.
i think it’s true that denji killed his dad in self defense and the yakuza covered it up as makima said. denji could either be misremembering, the yakuza worked with him to make it look like suicide thru blackmail or it’s a mistranslation (spanish version says “it was made out”)
idc i still cant believe he HIMSELF at this age strung up his dead father on a rope like i genuinely think this is an error and not even fujimoto intentionally writing him twisting things out of guilt. makima's conclusion makes so much more sense
