>>121567223Did you even watch the viking episode? The lesson was that David shouldn’t be ashamed of his fear because being fearless is functionally the same as being retarded. David follows Hilda everywhere she goes and helps her fix her problems every step of the way, even telling the Marras what a bunch of spineless sissies they are to defend Frida. He hides the Troll Rock, he discovers the baby elemental, he wrestles a ghost for Frida, he reveals Victoria’s plan, he helps save the Vittra and revover the Tidemice, he stands up to the raging troll and offers it his food.
None of those are his problem, if he were pathetic he would stay at home and refuse to help in the first place. As it is he is the voice of reason to Hilda’s daring and Frida’s ambition. Bravery is the overcoming of fear, not the abscence of fear, and David overcomes it in every episode he’s ever starred in.
