I think he believes it makes his points punchier and more tough-guy sounding but in fact it just muddies the waters.James Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04342773800742515957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294573.post-17417399044162172582020-07-13T12:45:34.711-04:002020-07-13T12:45:34.711-04:00"So just when we’re saying, “I can’t invest i..."So just when we’re saying, “I can’t invest in this loser,”"<br /><br />Aren't you exaggerating just a bit?<br /><br />I remember watching this movie for the first time and I was rooting for Hiccup pretty much from the start. Funnily enough, the only thing that really annoyed me about him was that moment when Astrid is walking in front of that explosion(?) and he looks her as if in awe.
