Anyone who has known me from the age of 12 onwards knows that I adore How to Train Your Dragon. I started with the 2010 film before diving head first into the books, followed the release of the TV shows, and got myself to the theater for the sequel films as quickly as I could. Hiccup, in both forms, is one of my favorite characters in fiction, I have a collection of merch, and have written a whole lot of fan fiction. In fact, How to Train Your Dragon introduced me to fan fiction. The story is one, for so many reasons, that I hold very near and dear to my heart. 

And now we have the first trailer for the live-action adaptation of the first How to Train Your Dragon film, set to release next summer. 

I expected myself to feel either viscerally appalled by its existence or delightfully surprised at any successes displayed. Instead I just feel tired.
