Hiccup, Adrien and Varian are pretty much alike
I really couldn‘t come up with a good title, but I realized someting.
Varian From Tangled, Adrien Agreste from Miraculous and Hiccup from How to Train your Dragon have A LOT in common.
First of all: They all have a gigantic fanbase! (Compared to the fandom) For Hiccup and Adrian this is kinda clear, because they are the main characters, but Varian isn‘t even the main character, and he still has a fanbase that is probably bigger than the rest of the fandom.
And I know that especially Hiccup and Adrien are probably designed for being a cartoon chrush (i think Varian wasn‘t, but if a crew member sees this, please tell me if you thought Varian would become THAT popular xD)
Lets start with listing things they have in common:
1. They all have no mom. This is actually a major thing that bothers me a lot. Why always the mom? Lel. Also: There is more about their moms than that theyre just dead. Adriens Mom is kinda in a coma or something, Hiccups mom ran away to the dragons and we dont know about Varians mom so far, but I really think something important happened to her.
2. They have daddy issues. All their dads are disappointed in them or just dont care about them or are just dicks. And they desperatly try to get their attention or make them proud and show them that there is more to them. Hiccups dad is just generally disappointed in him and doesn‘t think he can become a good viking, Adriens dad is just never there for him and pretty much ignores him and Varians dad is also just disappointed and thinks Varian can’t do anying. And getting the attention of their dads in one of their major character traits.
3. Their chrush is a super strong female character that is just in every way better than them. I know it sounds kida harsh but it’s the truth. We have Astrid, an incredibly talented warrior, Ladybug (And I talk about Ladybug, not Marrinette), who is a talented superhero and Cassandra, who is also a super good warrior.
4. Something happenes in their lives, that makes them less dorky and they have a purpose and makes them hot (or something) Hiccup finds his dragon (and has kinda uhm a change in his looks and appearance in httyd 2) , Adrien becomes Chat Noir and Varian turns evil.
5. They are so diffent actually. Though they are all around the same age, they dont look nearly alike. Brown hair, Blond hair, black hair. Dark green eyes, Light green eyes, blue eyes. But: They are all CUTE! And that is what is important. Another thing: They all arent from the same studio: Hiccup is from Dreamworks, Adrien from ZAG and Varian is a Disney character.
I dont know why they have so similar character arcs, maybe its a huge coincidence or lazy character writing, and I bet there will be fangirls spaming the comments why their crush is totally not like the others and is super special, but I don‘t really care.
They ARE NOT the same, just kinda very similar and they are all great characters.
I hope I dont get a shitstorm for that.
Have a nice day and bye 👋
