When she silently disappeared into the darkness... there is no way to adequately describe the chills

What I find scary about Red isn't her size, it's her ability to go on land. Imagine somehow miraculously escaping her on water and you reach a beach shore, thinking your worries will disappear but then suddenly you see her having little to no problem walking on the sand

0:35 imagine going snorkeling in the deep blue ocean, and seeing some monster staring right at you fading back into the darkness

Always fun when movies can make a huge monster with no dialogue ever so subtly sassy and sarcastic in behavior

My favorite scene of Red is when she just slowly backs away into the ocean while both of them are just swimming there

I think my favorite thing about how they characterized Red is how they portrayed intelligence, mercy, and even compassion without her saying a word. She never started any of the battles she was part of. It was always the humans who took the first shot. She was perfectly content to try and scare them off harmlessly, and we see she was gentle with Maisie, protected her and Jacob when Captain Crow was threatening them, and even helped them catch some fish on their journey together. She's far from harmless, utterly terrifying when she's angry, and still a wild animal, but she's an intelligent creature who is capable of compassion.

0:40 this shot is honestly terrifying to imagine yourself in

This movie really did a good job of selling just how big red and the other sea beasts are, can you just imagine encountering something like this?

One thing I love about Red is the fact that she's still absolutely terrifying Toothless? Adorable puppy/cat/bat, especially compared to the other dragons. But Red? She's still cute compared to some of the other beasts, but she clearly has a cat/viper/sealion design, making her much more terrifying than toothless, especially in her early scenes

This movie was quite literally a combination of How to Train Your Dragon, Godzilla and Pirates of the Caribbean. *And I LOVE IT*

From the first full encounter, Red looked like she was only intimidating the hunters. She can just up and demolish the ship with a simple full-body slam but still decided to splash around, make a vortex (did she practice this? it's really good lmao), and make the two MC's feel some ominous fear by just staring at them while moving slowly out of sight. Despite all the stories, Red is a big ol' monster that has no real intention of killing any hunters that get in her way.

5:54 "chris done it, he got the pasta"

I like how they make the crab so vulnerable even with its giant size.

I love how intelligent they made red.

I love when movies take giant monsters and make them act like intelligent creatures with thoughts, feelings and opinions about the world around them. It makes them feel more believable than just being big killing machines with a fleshy appearance. Red clearly had coherent thoughts throughout the entire movie, she didn’t want her only activity to be slaughtering a bunch of people.

5:03 I love how insulted Red looks like *”Did you just shoot at me? You did not just shoot at me.”*

Fun fact: it is impossible for giant insects or crabs to exist on earth because their exoskeletons would be too heavy for their muscles to support The largest crab, the coconut crab, is about as big as a creature with an exoskeleton can get. There is also the Alaskan king crab but it gets around this by having ridiculously long legs and a small body as well as living in water, which alleviates its weight problem to some extent

You know one thing that I love about this movie is that even if maisie and jacob befriended red, red still acts like a wild beasts, like the scene when Jacob shot red for attention and red did not hesitate to attack Jacob but seeing that Maisie is hurt she stopped, meaning she cared for Maisie but not so much for Jacob because of Jacob's past actions to her (red), and because red knew it's because of her actions.

5:10 I notice that every time Red looks at Maisie her pupils dilate. That just shows how truly attached she's gotten to Maisie.

5:00 I LOVE this scene, man. I’m glad they weren’t afraid to show how terrifying she is in moments like these despite being generally depicted as a misunderstood but gentle giant.

Blue: no thoughts, head empty Red: big brain time

I knew animators could make photo real water, but I'm really surprised by the trees and rocks when she's looking after that hill. I could almost believe this was a cg character added to a real on-site shot.

Love how in every shot it makes her feel enormous by either having her take up like 50% or more of the screen, (100% at times)and having her never fully in shot and when she is, she is is always compared to an island or ship or dwarfed by the even larger open ocean

0:35 She reminds me of a cat staring at a vase wanting to tumble it over 0:42 But the owner said "No" Literally a few seconds later... 1:37 Owner: Oh bloody hell. Cat: *tumbles vase*

The best thing about Red is that even without the ability to speak, we can still translate what she thinks just with her eyes, for example in the scene where Jacob is trying to catch the fish with his spear, Red looks at him sideways with a face of pure debauchery, as if she's almost saying "you really can't? It's that simple" Red is simply my favorite character in the entire movie, and it's on the list of characters I love very much.

This movie was one of the best ones I’ve seen on Netflix

0:40 everybody is talking about how terrifying that would be but I only see peak quality meme material

Love how they acually made this movie dark and they dont do all that sussy character type. Also can we talk about 0:41 Its absolutely terrifying, it shocks me with thalassophobia.

That scene with Red just peering at them from the depths is actually unsettling, the music goes along great as well! Favorite part of the movie.

I love how Jacob is desperately trying to kill red while she's just slapping him around and splashing him with water

5:00 this shot right here is insane Goddamn all these likes I mean that scene is fire btw have a nice day cooper signing off

I immediately recognized red as a female because of those fabulous eyelashes, the smooth scaleless skin, and the very blatant motherly personality. Not to mention that silent sass.

I love Red’s design, she’s so simple but so recognisable

Does anybody notice that Red's pupils dilate every time she looks at Massie? It's truly amazing detail that the animators put into this film and goes to show that Red really likes this child.

The slowly sinking back into the depths while looking at them silently is so strangely comedic.

My personal headcanon about why Red loved Masie so much was because she's had an experience of being cared by a kid. She was like Blue and a kid took care of her and loved her, but at some point something tragic happened that taught her to be cautious of humans. Maybe the kid died young, maybe the kid died of old age and she just had to defend them both from everyone, hence why she knows to be gentle when possible. OR Maybe like whales, she can recognize that Masie is a baby/kid and her maternal instincts have just been consistently kicking in. If so, she might be preggers and waiting to give birth in this film, which explains why she stays on the island

I’m not sure if I love or hate the fact that Red looks so much like Toothless. In one way it’s lazy and gives away the fact that the Beasts are harmless too soon but on the other hand there is a reason why that design works so well

4:59 This is epic! The scene, the background, the destruction, the smoke and the beast's growling, all pure epicness.

0:35 What sacres me the most about this scene is the fact that when Red goes out of site we may not be able to see Red but Red can sure as hell see us. Which just makes it all though more terrifying. Reminds me of subnautica

I love that red is a female. I get that sex doesn’t matter when it comes to animals, or anyone for that matter. But there is something very powerful about seeing brutal/strong female characters. It’s refreshing to see them be treated as equal. I get tired of females being portrayed as “fragile” when femininity is anything BUT fragile.

The human cast was pretty generic,but the monsters were so cool.I wish they were explored more

0:42 if this was the first ever shot of red in the movie that would have been amazing. so unexpected and terrifying only for you to eventually love her later on

she gave me Toothless vibes A scary monster but a gentle inside

0:42 scared me. She looked like a big Red Snake under water I'd be so scared 😳😅 if I was in the water with her I don't care how sweet she is 😂😂

What I like about Red's design is that compared to the other sea beasts, she has a very simple design, and to me that just indicates a much more dangerous foe given that it's pretty much a case of "what you see is what you get" in the most intimidating way possible since her look tells you that she doesn't need any sort of elaborate gimmicks to be able to just downright destroy you, just pure raw physical might and deceiving intelligence

0:42 Warning, Leviathan class lifeforms detected in this region.

The scene with Red swimming in the kelp forest is beautiful. I love the light and the music that makes it calming.

0:36 imagine you see something staring at you like this then goes away

idc if this the Netflix version of httyd I still loved watching the movie, I cried when they shot red with 'the hand of god' :'( but blue melted my heart- :' ) and red being sarcastic throughout the whole movie toward Jordan Holland made me laugh. but at 0:35 - 0:42 Red face just screams "what the f***.."

who would have though a whale snake seal rhino behemoth can be adorable

Red is such a beautiful beast. I love her- she's my favorite type of character/creature. Massive, dangerous, yet gentle when she needs to be 💙

You forgor when red said her iconic line "it's destructing time!"then destroyed the imperator It's a morbius reference

I like how Red mostly has a neutral expression on her face just like a real animal you can't really tell what she's thinking most of the time so it's open to interpretation. Personally I think red saved Maisie and Jacobs because she finds humans interesting and wanted to see the up close but then got attached

0:37 "Ight I'ma head out."

Just love the unimpressed/unamused looks Red kept giving Jacob after his failed attempts to catch a fish and when he tried to break the spear. Just goes to show that Red, a huge and intimidating monster, is capable of having thoughts and opinions on things rather than just being a monstrous killing machine that most movies depicts monsters

Fam can you imagine floating in the ocean with a giant deadly creature staring at you as it backs into the darkness? I would die right there.

3:33 my absolute favourite moment😂

Does anyone talk about the part where red stares right into their soul bruh💀 Scared the fuck outta me 😭😭

00:34 is this the scariest jumpscare/stare from animation movie ever.

Purple crustacean: Wiat wha- *RED BLUSTER THROWS*

Honestly I'm super surprised that this movie has gotten this popular since half of the movie is about questioning the narrative of those in power actually looking at the numbers this movie isn't getting as popular as it should because of that narrative Lets fix this

0:52 Did anyone think red was smiling when the screen was zooming out 🤔

I love this movie! But there was something that bothered me, when Red was shot down with the poisoned arrow, I began to get worried, but then when she was freed she got up like nothing happened and lived to see another day, and I’m like, what? Gwen stated that the poison was strong enough to kill a Sea Beast, so, shouldn’t Red be dead?

I have mixed feelings about this movie. Yes, there’s absolutely no question about whether it was inspired by How to Train Your Dragon or not. You could see where the story was going from a mile away and Red’s expressions are very similar to Toothless. But honestly.. That’s ok! It’s hard to make a good movie completely from scratch and I’m alright with people taking inspiration from other films as long as it’s not a blatant ripoff. I was IMMEDIATELY blown away by the animation as soon as it started. And the voice acting was on par. It felt like the voice actors were grabbed straight out of the 1800’s and you could feel the emotion coming off the characters. Yes the pacing of the movie was a bit weird and it feels like a big part of the story is missing. And there were also some side characters that felt like they were pretty useless to the actual story, but I don’t think it’s right to completely rip into this movie and not give credit where credit is do. Overall I really enjoyed it and it’s a great movie to watch in your spare time.

0:42 The way she disappears into the depths while staring at Jacob and Maysie is really unsettling. Also, did you know the color red drastically becomes less visible the further it is away in the ocean. That means things that are red can be much closer to you before they're visible. The Blister's red color is the perfect camouflage for something that huge.

I loved this movie I was so excited when I watched it I think my only gripe was that red who is amazing felt oddly simple and boring compared to the rest of the monsters, she could have used some markings or more smaller horns to make the giant one on her head stand out less but shes lovely anyway

Look at her eyes he’s so beautiful in the wild👁👁

4:58 That’s my favorite shot in the film. I want a print of it to frame.

2:33 Maisie:Hey! Red! Red: Yes? Maisie:See this little guy? *shows her blue* this is you! *shows her two fruits* and this is me and this is him! Red:...Im Listening Maisie:We need to go way over there! And I was wondering if you were kind enough to take us? Red:...over there?

0:35 oh my god this scene was so terrifying to me. To be so small in a vast ocean where this big beast professionalizes in is terrifying. You wouldn’t be able to get away if she decided she wanted a snack.

0:35 Not gonna lie, this scene gave me chills..

0:35 I would just die of heart attack if I saw this in reality. It literally startled me while watching the movie.

Toothless and Red, two of the deadliest species of monsters in their own respective universes, and the biggest cats you could think of

I kind of wish they had made Red look a little less huggable/look less like Toothless. Just cause both me and my sister kept commenting on how much we wanted to just cuddle with most of the sea beasts while watching this. Mind you Red did have her fair share of intimidating moments, like when she destroyed the Royal ship and just loomed over the ship’s ruins in the smoke.

Sometimes i wonder how red was able to stay emerged for so long without getting skin cancer.

I love how red give people a passive look when they’re doing something stupid

How to train your sea monster

I haven’t seen this movie but just from clips it’s giving me How to Train Your Dragon type vibes. And I like that

0:42 scared the living crap outa me

i feel like they made red way too "cute" she's supossed to be the strongest and most dangerous sea beast (i would like if it was like the monster at the beginning of the movie in design) but she is like toothless and has to be cute because she is the main monster

I'm saying this now if red was in subnautica red would be terrifying and cute For example terrifying 0:34 For example cute 1:02

I Love The Red Bluster/ Red, A.K.A Rudy She's Bigger, She's Huge, She's Gigantic She is The Queen Of The Sea Ocean Also Loyalty and Brave, Kind Peaceful and Heroic, Funny She's Being She Not An Beast She's Not Monster or Thing She's Being Protect And Responding and Communicating She Is Defender Not Destroyed She Queen Rudy The Defender She Such A Pretty Girl for Female She's Is Beautiful Prettier And Good-Looking She Is

0:41: I imagine red did this like she was saying *”no one will believe youuuuuu-“*

2:22 is almost an identical scene to the end of how to train your dragon 2

I hated how the other sea beasts looked so good in design while red just looks like a 6 year old's drawing

Red's eyes are just stunning

4:36 Looks like the hill scene in Godzilla 1954.

0:35 detecting multiple leviathan life forms in this area, are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it

4:35 I think this scene might be tribute to the OG Godzilla movie, where Godzilla peeks his head up from behind a hill.

When I watched this movie honestly only thing I could think about was how Red reminded me of the Laviathans from subnautica. mostly the Reaper Laviathans.

0:42 Maybe that's where the logic for Dinosaurs come from: "Don't move and they can't see you"

I love how many scraps you can see on her horn. Just the little details to show all the fights she’s been in.

0:42 rare clip of red dipping like she got no shit

She may give me Toothless vibes, but I'm probably gonna look stupid but... why do certain angles of Red give me vibes of Gon the Dinosaur? Even in some body movements and facial expressions...

04:02 red bluster (red for short) LOOKS LIKE A WHALE!!!!

0:35 - 0:45 ohhh my godddd

Red is the best Friendly Misunderstood Sea Beast She is really cute and I like that she gets saved by the girl and her friend and she saves them in return for saving her life. We need more Misunderstood Creatures like her for a welcome change to the usual source material.

Red looks like toothless and his mate the light fury from How to train Your Dragon 3 the hidden World.💖👑💖👑 I would really love to see a number four but Sadly it ended.😭😭 And one other thing that reminds me of How to train Your Dragon 3 is when the hunters use the poison dart to put red to sleep🙀. That's what grimmel did with toothless and light fury. He used this dart that has liquid from the death grippers venomous tail that puts dragons to sleep instantly. That's how toothless and light fury met. He put her to sleep so she wouldn't fly away. Giving toothless enough time to catch her familiar scent and found her in the woods.💖💖💖💖

In some parts of the movie, Red just has so much sass, and I love it

I watched this with my mom during the summer and red was my fave character lol
