Although I do enjoy the design of the Light Fury and her being a Fury subspecies rather than another Night, I don’t think using her as the sparking point for the Dragons leaving (which is a whole other can of Fireworms in itself that I’ve already talked about) by causing Toothless to give into his animal instincts was a good idea.
The Dragons thus far, in both the previous movies and series, were shown to have intelligence on the brink of sapience. While they were known to adopt those instincts now and then, they were largely smart enough to ignore them when the time came. Hidden World came along and ramped up the “inner animal instincts” part to the point where Toothless lost a good amount of his prior character and all the other dragons like Meatlug, Hookfang or Stormfly were little more than regular beasts. Like, you’re seriously telling me that none of them would react to having to leave the Riders in the same way as Toothless and Hiccup?
Agreed
