That's actually a good point.

The thing is, it still has a lot of the questionable implications of loser guy/hot girl - namely, it doesn't matter if a girl hates your guts at first, you should totally not leave her alone and move on with your life, because she'll come around eventually as long as you're a Nice Guy who "deserves" her.

Granted, it's about the 50000th movie to imply that, so I don't think it's fair to single it out. But I can see why it rubs people the wrong way.

I dunno, I'd say he actually does move on with his life and leave her alone. When he starts working with Toothless, he pretty much stops pursuing her and she starts becoming curious about him because he's acting so shifty/changing. And she doesn't respond with annoyance that he suddenly doesn't worship her (at least in my reading of it), but suspicion about how he's suddenly become good at defeating dragons. So I'd actually say it does work as something of an aversion of that--his core values remain the same, but he steps up and matures a lot, completely independently of his interest in Astrid.

Except Hiccup never pursued Astrid, so there was never a chance where he needed to "leave her alone." She was the one who got obsessed with finding out his secrets and wouldn't leave him alone, and he only shared Toothless with her because of that. If he had brought Toothless to her himself thinking "I'm going to show her what an awesome trainer and sensitive guy I am so she'll totally like me" then that would be more of a typical example, but that's not how it happened at all.
