So, there I was, munching on my popcorn, eyes glued to the screen, watching How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. I mean, who doesn't love a good dragon flick, right? But then it hit me, as Hiccup was soaring through the skies, all grown up and stuff, I thought, "Hey, how old is this guy supposed to be now?"

Time Flies When You're Having Fun (And Fighting Dragons)

You know, it's funny how time flies in the world of movies. I mean, it's been what, five years since the last How to Train Your Dragon movie? And Hiccup, well, he's not the little kid we first met. He's all grown up, with a beard and everything. I swear, if he starts talking about his 'glorious' beard, I'm out.

But seriously, have you ever wondered how old Hiccup is in the last movie? I mean, it's not like they hand out birth certificates in the Viking world. But hey, let's do some math, shall we?

The Dragon Timeline

Alright, so the first movie, How to Train Your Dragon, came out in 2010. Hiccup was around 15, maybe 16. The second movie, The Indomitable Spirit of Hiccup... I mean, How to Train Your Dragon 2, that was in 2014. So, that's about 4 years later. Hiccup would've been around 19 or 20.

Now, The Hidden World came out in 2019. That's another 5 years later. So, if our math is right (and let's face it, I'm no mathematician), Hiccup would be around 24, maybe 25 in the last movie. But who's counting, right?

I mean, think about it. Hiccup's gone from a scrawny kid with a dream to the chief of Berk. He's fought dragons, saved his village, and even found love. All before he's 25. I can barely remember to feed my plants that often.

Growing Up is Hard to Do (Especially When You're a Viking)

But seriously, watching Hiccup grow up on screen is kind of amazing. I mean, we've seen him go from a kid who couldn't even kill a dragon to a hero who can talk to them. It's like watching your own kid grow up, you know? Except, you know, with more dragons.

And let's not forget Toothless. I mean, the poor guy's been through a lot. From being a Night Fury to a Light Fury. I swear, if he starts wearing a tiny top hat and monocle next, I'm going to lose it.

Age is Just a Number (Unless You're a Dragon)

You know, it's funny how we always think about the main characters being older. But what about the dragons? I mean, Toothless is like, what, 25 too? Does that make him a senior citizen in dragon years? I need answers, people!

But seriously, watching Hiccup grow up on screen is a reminder that time flies, whether you're fighting dragons or just trying to keep your plants alive. So, next time you watch The Hidden World, remember, Hiccup's not just a kid anymore. He's a grown Viking chief, with a beard and everything. And yes, I'm still not over the beard.

So, there you have it. Hiccup's around 24 or 25 in the last movie. But who knows? Maybe in the next one, he'll be a grandpa, teaching his grandkids how to ride dragons. I mean, stranger things have happened, right?
