Our Dragons Are Different is about how dragons are portrayed. "May be the first dragon in a live action movie" is not sufficient context for Our Dragons Are Different.

* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: After [[spoiler:the death of her husband in Part 1]], Kriemhild becomes the protagonist in Part 2. Whereas Siegfried uses magical artifacts and his own physical prowess to solve conflicts, Kriemhild relies on political manipulation and the strength of her followers to achieve her objectives.



* DarkerAndEdgier: {{Downplayed}} since Part 1 isn't any less violent than Part 2. That said, the first part was a lot more fantastical as it features dragons, dwarves, and a NighInvulnerable protagonist. On the other hand, the second part is more realistic and lacks the fantasy elements of the first part.



* ProtagonistTitle: Part 1 is called ''Die Nibelungen: Siegfried'' while Part 2 is labeled ''Die Nibelungen: Kriemhild's Revenge''.



* UglyGuyHotWife: Kriemhild is way, way more attractive than Etzel, whom she only married in the hope that he could help her avenge Siegfried.
