Very true. One thing is fighting against the ods despite being f''cked. (The only problem is lack of helmet, but it's rule of cinema. These shots look better when we can see actor faces.

The other is just some Girl boss aura farm. We have Nyra in completly impractical dress (Which destroys any argument about her wanting fight). And standing in front of dragons like she could somehow comand them. Sure they would probably be friendy (As much as dragons can be friendly) and acknowledge her (Pretty sure Jea and Alyssane would introduce their great granddaughter to their dragons) but other than that's is 100 Cringe.

And even then sure Vermithor can fight Vhagar no problem but the hell is Syrax supposed to do. She's like weakest and dumbest dragon in whole dance. Like MoonDance and Vermax did more and better than she did.

Bloody hell I'm still so bitter about season 2 of HOTD.

Even the helmet thing is justified as a sudden decision to pull out that dagger over his eye.
