what's life? oh, that's right. i dont have one

ok i noticed something about drago that is really important/disturbing so if you havent seen the movie yet dont read. ok, onward!!

ok so i noticed this when i saw the movie for the third time. this has to do with drago’s dragon skin cape and armor.

so i am loving all of these theories. so taking all this speculation, i have developed a master theory. i’m sorry if my ideas are jumbled but i need to get this off my chest.

first, i want to mention some things about valka and night furies. she knew about toothless’s spikes and the tight turns, leading me to the conclusion that she has been with night furies before. but, this contradicts what she originally said when she saw toothless in the sanctuary: “ive never seen one up close before.” this is probably why they took this line out of the movie, (it was in a clip that was released online before the release of the movie) because she probably has a past with night furies. By having prior knowledge on night furies, that is probably why she took came upon hiccup and toothless in that one scene above the clouds. She was interested in seeing who could possibly be riding a night fury (because she would already know of their power and fierceness). This is probably why she took them, so she could inspect them and find out more about them.

now on to drago. i agree with the above mentioned, that night furies were probably responsible for the destruction of drago’s village, family, and arm. then, he took revenge and killed them all. now, this attack happened before cloudjumper took valka. But it did happen very recently. (in the dragon council flashback with drago, stoick is wearing a hat with four spikes, not the usual two. he was wearing the same hat when cloudjumper took valka. it is only after valka left when stoick started to wear the hat with two spikes, from valka’s breast plate, to keep her close.) 

at the flashback dragon council, drago already has some dragons under control; meaning he could possibly have the bewilderbeast already. Also, drago was wearing the black dragon skin at this council. According to the above theory, drago killed all the night furies in revenge, then came upon the bewilderbeast. So that means all of this happened very recently and very quickly. See, hiccup and toothless are the same age, meaning that hiccup is still a baby when the dragon council happens (based on stoicks hat). If he is still a baby, then toothless is still a baby, meaning his parents and the rest of the night furies are already killed at this point. (maybe drago missed toothless, his parents were protecting him or something.)

but, then how did valka know about night furies if drago killed them all? she clearly knows what she is talking about, she even knows that they are going extinct. so how does she know this if drago supposedly killed them all?

also, sometime during those 20 years, drago and valka have encountered each other before in their travels. He knows what she does and she knows what he does. but what were the circumstances? how did they meet? what happened? why? 

drago was supposed to be introduced in the third movie, but they bumped him up to movie two. i have a feeling that the third or maybe fourth movie will tackle the idea of night furies, where they come from, where they have gone etc. so drago must play a part in the future movies, as will valka in exploring the night furies. 

Timeline:

Drago’s village is attacked. He was only a boy.

Toothless is born (hiccup too)

Drago kills all the night furies

He gains control of the bewilderbeast

He goes to the dragon council 

Valka gets taken

Drago assembles his army

Valka and Drago meet each other/Valka encounters night furies (dont know which comes first in the timeline so i put them together)

Specials/TV show

And I always thought Drago learned of Valka through Eret. When Drago was threatening Eret he says “first there was one dragon rider, now all of Berk.”  I got the feeling from this that Drago didn’t know the dragons under the Bewilderbeast command had a human rider until Eret did. Possibly she was the reason he was empty handed the first time when Drago gave him his scar. Eret certainly wouldn’t have held back any details.

However, Valka seems to know Drago, knows him by name and probably face. I get the assumption that she’s snuck around his hideout, trying to free some dragons but found it too dangerous, possibly. Probably recognized his description or name from the stories Stoick told her.
