FBAWTFT | Gellert Grindelwald vs Aurors

[@novoeduardoac1248]

I still cannot fathom how Fudge could have been so foolish to think that he, Dolores Umbridge, Shakelbolt and Dawlish stood a chance against the man who defeated Grindelwald in duel ... watching this scene it's plainly clear that Dumbledore could have, if he so desired, taken on the entire Auror Office of the British Ministry for Magic.

[@thomabow8949]

Yeah unfortunanetly the next film takes place in like 1928 or 1929, and the duel is in 1945. Unless there's a huge time jump, it'll be in movie 5, which is going to be in like 2024. I HOPE that the series is pure Dumbledore+Newt+Grindelwald and features the flashbacks mentioned above, and more backstory.

[@trevorsquires3159]

I can’t but their duel is 3 hours long so Rowling is going to have to do some jump cuts during it so we can it pan out. Hopefully it’s over 5 minutes though.

[@EntropiReality]

Grindelwald is a total badass, he probably let himself get captured since he could have easily escaped from the Aurors if he had wanted to. The fact that he decided to advance towards them while dueling clearly shows that he had no intention of running away. His smirk at the end says it all.

[@mastick5106]

A few thoughts about Newt capturing Grindelwald with such apparent ease (apologies for the length): 1) When Grindelwald fought Newt earlier, Newt attempted only one attack, a standard magical blast with his wand, and it was easily deflected. The rest of the battle Newt spent dodging, defending, and almost getting electrocuted. Grindelwald would not have seen him as an offensive threat, especially compared to the Aurors. 2) Grindelwald's speech was intended to plant seeds of doubt in his listeners about the MACUSA policy of hiding - and when he says "I ask all of you" he takes a long look back at Newt and Tina. He knows they watched Credence get (apparently) killed, and I'm sure he wants them to be thinking about Credence when he says "who does this law protect?", and wants them thinking that the law is what forced Credence into his condition and ultimately got him killed. Despite having just fought both of them, because of Credence they're his most likely "converts" to opposition to the law. 3) If you watch the Auror's blasts hit Grindelwald's shield, from the way the energies dissipate it looks like the shield is spherical. So he was prepared for that kind of magical attack by Newt or Tina as well as the Aurors, and if either of them _had_ attacked magically like that, their attacks would have similarly hit the shield and been deflected. 4) Also, when he starts walking back and the battle begins, Tina and Newt are on his left but still in front of him. He can see that they're not attacking along with the Aurors. That might have made him think that they were at least pondering what he said, torn between the two sides. 5) This bit is even more speculative, but I don't think Newt released the Swooping Evil just as a distraction. Grindelwald, as Graves, would have gotten reports from the Aurors who chased Newt and Tina, so he would have known that the creature could deflect magical blasts. When it flies in front of him, you can see several blasts hit the ceiling, indicating that the Swooping Evil _had_ deflected several attacks, probably from the Aurors. This may have led Grindelwald to believe that Newt had been convinced by the speech and was fighting _with_ him, and caused him to let down his guard a little in that direction. To me, the look on his face as the creature flies behind him and he starts to turn around says "I can't believe I convinced you so quickly". 6) You can see from Grindelwald's face that he is completely shocked when his hands are seized by whatever-it-is Newt threw at him. He wasn't _planning_ to be captured, at least not by Newt, and he is first shocked, then angry. But I suspect he _had_ planned for the possibility of capture, so after getting over his surprise at _how_ he was taken, he settled into his more customary arrogance.

[@jchea1764]

[@MRSyonicBoom]

Very good

[@them4licious0ne]

or you know, he had his back against the guy lol

[@emawerna]

I love this kind of discussion. I doubt number 4 though because he had sentenced them to death and just been trying to kill Newt moments before. It would be foolish of them to think they'd come to his side. As for 5, you can't read too deeply into the too-early shocked look on his face. I think Colin thought Grindelwald would see something looming behind him out of the periphery of his vision that grabbed his arms before he could react. They didn't end up animating it that way though. Grindelwald stared straight ahead at the aurors during the fight. He didn't look up at the swooping evil. So, why would he have noticed it less conspicuously coming up behind him? Which reminds me, why didn't an auror just apparate immediately behind Grindelwald and grab his arms?

[@jamesvach6698]

@M G I think I heard somewhere that Grindlewald had something of a tendency to have little interest or tolerance for those whom he considered beneath him. Hence why he dismissed Credence as unimportant once he was done with him and only showed renewed interest once Credence proved to be who he was seeking. Thus he likely did not consider Newt anything more then a nuisance.

[@mdrw13]

He is fighting the best 10-20 MACUSA Aurors at the same time, non-verbally with a wand that doesn't belong to him and given how he avoids using it during the film, probably doesn't even have its allegiance, and he only gets stopped not by the Aurors but by Newt's Beasts that were behind him and he wasn't counting on. The same kind of underestimation that Voldemort had, he doesn't acknowledge or take anything besides wizards into consideration. And likely neither does the elder wand and since a beast disarmed him (Tina only retrieves the wand, and does NOT disarm him) he likely doesn't lose the elder wand's allegiance.

OneOnOne1162 They'll probably place it between scenes set over that amount of time. Maybe they'll give the other characters something to do in the background that aids in bringing down Grindelwald's army or some large scheme he has planned.

Dumbledore wiped the floor with him in the books (fawkes was one of his weapons) and seemed to be in a tie in the movies despite the fact that Dumbledore was only protecting/stalling and had to look out for Harry too. Knowing that the elder wand didn't exist in Rowling's head back then and also knowing that the deathly hallows are not all they are made to be, using the elder wand doesn't take away anything from Dumbledore.

There's been so much negativity towards Johnny Depp's casting as Grindelwald and honestly, it's irritating. We've only seen him as Grindelwald for just about a minute and that's barely enough to start saying he'll be terrible in the role. Besides, if Rowling believes he is the right choice then I'm confident. It's true he's not been on top form for a while now, but give him a chance. Playing the villain may suit him. Personally I think his brief part was promising. He was chilling and the expressions he made (that smile he gives Newt as he's lead away) were spot on. And am I the only one who thinks the design of Grindelwald was great? Just my opinion though.

[@victoriarichardson1471]

People need to give him a chance. I am looking forward to seeing Johnny Depp as Grindelwald. People are always going to have something to disagree with.

[@ajsmith5820]

Victoria Richardson Absolutely! I'm very much looking forward to his portrayal of Grindelwald too. Just as you said, people will always disagree on something. Depp is a fantastic actor and has played and brought to life so many iconic and interesting characters (e.g Jack Sparrow) and his movies show he has the perfect range to play Grindelwald. Some didn't like his "design" as Grindelwald but I think it looks fantastic. Instantly iconic and if the way he plays the character matches the appearance, he'll likely steal the show in the next few movies.

[@kamreelyons-chatman6544]

I completely agree. Technically speaking Grindelwald had about two minutes of actual screen time. But Johnny Depp owned those couple minutes. Just the right blend of elegence and crazy. Unlike Voldemort who was a mass murdering impulsive psychopath. Albeit an extremely powerful and genius level one. Grindelwald struck me as being a little classier in his craziness. Sort of like a Hilter and the Godfather comparison

[@chocolateyes613]

The negativity has more to do with the twist being unnecessary and poorly executed, than who was actually cast as Grindelwald. It is quite obvious that Johnny Depp's head was sloppily edited into the scene, and that is Colin Farrell's body. It also does not help that his contacts are completely distracting, and his German/Austrian "accent" is terrible.

[@ajsmith5820]

chocolateyes613 It's true there's no denying the editing was imperfect and the twist was at best unnecessary, but I did not say that was the main source of the negativity. What I meant was how most of the initial reaction towards Depp's casting was negative. I did not at all say it was the main source of the poor response to this scene. I was speaking distinctively about Depp's casting as a separate thing, not this scene. Everywhere I have looked there is an overwhelming amount of criticism to Depp's casting. I personally find it infuriating when people decide how an actor will be in a role before they've even seen them completely in the role. There's a lot of examples of this and more often than not the actor excels and proves their detractors wrong. Perhaps his accent wasn't perfect, but as I was trying to say, give him a chance.

Wow, that scene was awesome. I don't know how he was able to deflect all them spells the Auror's was casting. An average wizard/witch could only deflect spells from one or a few wizards/witches, but Grindelwald was able to deflect from many Aurors at the same time and hit some Auror's back. But I noticed Madam President Sarafina Picquery did not draw her wand, she looked amazed and I think she knew right then that was Grindlewald because I don't believe Graves could ever hold back that many Aurors. The MACUSA President is very powerful with in her own right, it would have been interesting to see a duel between the two of them.

[@truerespect4247]

First wizarding war perhaps?

[@truerespect4247]

Felipe Medeiros In that duel Dumbledore wasn't even trying, even Voldemort got pissed off because of it because even though he was immortal he couldn't touch Deumbledore. The duel between G&D lasted for hours, and this is when Dumbledore was in his dueling prime.

[@Cadugaming]

Leo Richards So from what u say, Voldemort is the most powerful dark wizard just cause Grindewald didnt showed his true strenght? Perhaps because his plans didnt require him to do so? Cause i believe none in the magical world knew about Voldemort immortality (If they knew, his reputation could have grown on this fact alone) but maybe he was just more violent than Grindewald, not more powerful. U may be right then.

[@truerespect4247]

Felipe Medeiros You read my comment wrong i was saying Dumbledore was the one not trying when he dueled Voldemort, and this was when Albus was not in his prime. Its hard to say who is truly more powerful out of Voldy and Grind, they both have vast knowledge of the Dark arts, if Voldemort had his horcruxes then obviously he would win but without them its really hard to say. Me personally would go for Grindelwald because even though Voldemort was very intelligent his arrogance blinded him as shown many times during the second wizarding war, even Grindelwald himself said that Voldemort was a powerful idiot as he didn't understand the elder wand or how to master it.

[@gm.6561]

It’s crazy just to imagine how actually powerful Grindelwald was, and how could it be if he had created Horcruxes for him. But is very important to say that Grindelwald didn’t created the horcruxes not because he couldn’t, he most like could have done as well, but he never was obsessed with immortality or afraid of dying like Voldemort was. As a matter of fact, he always knew what creating those would cost him, and that death is inevitable, which makes him at the very least, far more wise than Voldemort. I personally think that Grindelwald was more powerful than Voldemort in terms of knowledge/spell skills, but Voldemort was far more cruel, destructive, and at his end almost irrational (also very skilled), which combined, made him even more dangerous than Grindelwald itself.

[@garammaru3272]

Just what I expected from Dumbledore's archenemy. Grindelwald was using Graves' wand and yet if it wasn't for Newt's sneak attack, he would've defeat all aurors and president herself. The reason why Tom Riddle Jr was placed No.1 as most dangerous dark wizard of all time is because he was a psychopath who killed anyone standing in his way. In terms of leadership skills, understanding of human psychology, wisdom, and intelligence, Grindelwald was superior. If you read Deathly Hallow, you can see that even though he was already dead, Dumbledore had Voldmort on his palm. Dumbledore's planning skills and understanding of people's relations allowed him to completely toy with Riddle. Grindelwald's skills and intelligence are near mirror level of Dumbledore. In terms of over all skills, Grindelwald deserves No.1 in the list of most powerful dark wizard of all time. Unlike Grindelwald's ideology was somewhat understandable, Voldmort was using blood superiority as his tool for gaining more power for himself only.

[@carlgordonjr]

Garammaru - Grindelwald is the #1 dark wizard, he’s only placed second cause the franchise came out second, Same reason Voldemort’s wizarding war is known as the first when there’s clearly Grindewald, only because she thought of his idea first but skillfully, Grindewald is more powerful then Voldemort. Especially Voldemort with the Horcruxes who was weak after them all being destroyed with a weak soul.

Grindelwald casually taking on approximately 20 Aurors at once showed what a badass villain he is. He's like "Okay, fuck it, let's get this over with", then casually dispels their barrier and starts wailing on them without saying a word or even using any aggressive spells. Everything they throw at him is just deflected back at them like a lightsaber deflecting a blaster bolt. It's a nice contrast to Voldemort, who is much more aggressive. However, this scene wasn't shot very well. They should have shown Grindelwald dropping his wand before Tina summoned it. Because they didn't do that most people, myself included, mistakenly thought that she just achieved mastery of the Elder Wand (the fact that Grindelwald wasn't actually using the Elder Wand means nothing because Draco Malfoy wasn't using it either when Harry achieved mastery). The Swooping Evil technically disarmed him and the Elder Wand doesn't recognise animals as its master, but we don't see the wand drop from Grindlewald's hand so it's very easy for people to think that it passed on to a new master in this scene.

So Grindelwald didn't duel to kill. Did you see him firing any killing curse at all? There were only stunning spells. Voldemort, on the other hand, was unwise and wasteful (there were so very few wizards in the world and yet he killed unnecessarily). Voldemort signature spell is the killing curse. He fires it left and right like a gatlin gun, he uses the killing curse with the same easiness that Harry Potter fires disarming charms.

+Novo Eduardo AC Exactly. Avada kedavra is like Voldemort's default or like factory setting.

Atleast I can be sure that'll he'll react by dropping dead, right?".
