It becomes clear that the current setup can’t last forever when a female Night Fury is discovered which is a big deal as it was believed that Toothless was the last of the Night Furies. It’s a strong message and Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) acts as a compelling focal point to explore that because of his belief that the harmony achieved between his people and Dragons is the perfect way to live. The third film focuses on yet another distinct theme this one is about embracing change even if it isn’t entirely positive and adapting to it because it comes whether you want it to or not.
