I liked it because you have to figure they've known each other since they were little babies, growing up in a tiny village together. So it wasn't like they were total strangers to each other. And she was still nicer than the other kids and realized there was something more to him, and he seemed perpetually impressed by her strength, determination, and badassossity, even when she used it to smack him around.

It wasn't developed well, but I didn't see the ending as twu wuv or anything either. I just saw it as he did something vastly impressive that showed great strength of character and she was willing to give him a chance for it, and she was someone who was an incredibly strong and driven person that he admired enough to forgive the fact she was cold towards him. Also there was the fact he probably saw the coldness as something he genuinely deserved for sucking so badly, which shows something interesting about his self esteem.

So overall, there are a lot of interestingly revealing character tidbits there, and there could be a lot of depth to it if they develop it more with the future movies. Was it developed the best? No. Was it twu wuv? I didn't think it was, nor did I think they portrayed it as Disney style true love. I thought it was a more realistic, awkward teenage like thing.

I guess I prefer relationships like that more than ones that are spelled out all over the place because you can play around with a ton of headcanon for it with fics and RP, and I'd rather see them developed over a much longer period of time than one movie. Teenage infatuation that isn't love at all and could turn into anything from marriage to an incredibly messy breakup ftw. Not every relationship has to be storybook nor does it have to be hyper-realistic to reveal things about the characters.

tl;dr Thinking they're ill-suited for one another doesn't mean it's a bad pairing, it just means they either have to grow into it being a good pairing, or it'll stay a bad one and reveal interesting things about the characters in the process. They weren't above throwing us some curveballs in the writing for everything else. Just because they didn't have time to do it for Hiccup and Astrid in this movie doesn't mean they won't in the sequels.

I wasn't sure one way or the other on these two before now, but I really like this comment.
Like the OP, Astrid still rubs me the wrong way, but I really like this comment.

I think people often forget that flaws are sometimes given to characters so they can be overcome, and relationships sometimes will be developed even more. The first movie was about Hiccup and Toothless and Hiccup and Stoick. All the rest of it was just seeds laid down to possibly flower and be arranged into something if there were sequels.
