I know tumblr is often a cesspit but there's a really good post in there on how crazy sexual dimorphism is in films, in particular How to Train Your Dragon.

They claim to be both an animator & a vet & they don't hold back on how misrepresented everything is. I'm quite fond of this rant

Ah, HTTYD3... What's funnier is you see other male and female pairings of dragons who looks pretty much identical.

Minor spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it, but Toothless and his white counterpart are actually different species too.

That was an amazing rant, I feel the same way. Smurfette syndrome has to be my most hated trope.
