** Hiccup had to accept that his ideals didn't always fit reality. The path to taking on the mantle of leadership required that he accept the lesson that diplomacy and the truth were not always going to sway the minds of those bent on destruction; some people just have to be stopped. This was the message his father kept repeating to him and one that his mother also echoed.
** Simultaneously, however, the movie also affirms that leadership is best achieved and executed through care and loyalty, rather than through coercion and force. [[spoiler:Which is what beats Drago in the end.]]

* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: After Stoick decides to name Hiccup his successor, Hiccup admits to Astrid that he feels he can't live up to his legacy because he is so unlike his father. He also never knew his mother and so wonders about his identity. [[spoiler:Eventually {{deconstructed}}. Hiccup tries to find his own purpose as a "peacekeeper," reasoning it's what he's good at, but even his own mother, a kindred peacekeeper with dragons, tells him that some minds can't be changed, and war is sometimes needed. She and Stoick turn out to be right. Hiccup can only overcome his identity crisis when he admits his insufficiency, but still resolves to try to be more than he currently is anyways.]]
