I feel like fantastic beasts should have been a Netflix show, where for the first season they dod a beast of the weeks, but very subtly introducing the gindlewald plot in the deep background slowly pulling it forward until it’s the main issue near the end of the show. It would give it more time to be fleshed out we actually get to see new and unique fantastic beasts, and they could still keep all the characters and they could have meaningful arcs and growth but I guess not...is it too early for a reboot?

[@jinsstyle]

Omg this is such a good idea. But unfortunately I think it's too late for a reboot since we are already 2 movies in the franchise.

[@jinsstyle]

But actually this reminds me of the witcher where they had one beast per episode too.

[@nont18411]

They shouldn’t have made Fantastic Beasts in the first place. The Harry Potter saga has completed in 2011. No need to stretch things or expanding the whole “Wizarding World”. I think JK Rowling tried so hard to build the cinematic universe to compete against Marvel but MCU is far superior as they had planned it since 2008 while Wizarding World, in my opinion, was created as a response to the rise of the first Avengers movie. Just an opinion, I may be wrong.

Something has been bugging me. Is there any way you guys can make a video about this? When reading the books and watching the movies I've always wondered, is there any form of magic that Muggles can actually perform? Not wand-magic or spells and charms and such. But what about potion making? Divination? Travelling by broom or floo powder? Do you actually need to have magical blood to do any of these things? Would love to hear your thoughts SCB! Love your vids!💪

[@kcnbt99]

I would say that, at least potions, would require magic solely if not that you need a wand to make them. Divination is already questionable even in the magic world. Used only, really, by Seers of which are magical. As for broom work or carpet work, I could see that requiring magic to control it but you could be on them. Though the Floo Network I can see being usable by Muggles.

Somebody said “kids like animals and there will be lots of merch we can sell, let’s make a new Harry Potter that’s all about animals.” But they didn’t get to the step about how they would make that a dramatic series _without_ having to hurt or fight animals. They could have stolen the _Horizon Zero Dawn_ solution and made them evil robot animals. Otherwise, the only option is what they did: have a dramatic story that basically has nothing to do with the setup.

Let's be real, the reason why Crimes of Grindelwald FAILED was because of several reasons: (1) WHERE ARE THE CRIMES!? (2) There are too many plots happening and by showing all of these plotlines, it confuses the audience as to what exactly the story it is try to tell. (3) J.K. Rowling tries to be fan service-y but it doesn't add anything, she just retcons aspects of the Wizarding World. (4) J.K. Rowling is NOT a screenwriter, which is different from being an author. Warner Brothers need to hire a screenwriter to work with her to condense all that story into something that is watchable. (5) J.K.

I agree with @Random Cat, and I know we're not alone...

I believe that initially, the series was not supposed to have anything to do with Newt after the first movie. I think the original plan was to watch the rise of Grindewald through the eyes of different ancillary characters each movie. Like maybe the second movie would have Bathilda Bagshot as the POV character. However, the 4 main characters - especially Newt - were so popular that they had to scrap those plans and shoehorn Newt into the rest of the series.

“Doesn’t seem to understand the nature of things that he deems as simple.” This is one of those moments that you were talking about in the theme section where it’s a really cool idea but it’s just an idea. However the other thing that I think it could be linking back to was the idea of Voldemort underestimating the magical ability of things that he deemed underneath him as well. I feel like Rowling has all of these illusions between the two villains. That is why we see a house elf (and his magic) being able to get around all the magic to get into the cave to get the horcrux in the sixth book. When a wizard could not. Because Voldemort didn’t protect his horcux against the house elf’s magic because he didn’t see it as something he should worry about

My top 3 reasons why this movie failed: 1. The movie spent a long time building up suspense with little to no pay off, which made it hugely disappointing. Instead of making a stand alone movie, they made a filler movie that only exists to introduce new characters and set up new storylines for the third movie. 2. The tone of the entire movie was off and completely unlike the first movie. There was too much of a focus on politics and not enough on the main characters and magical creatures. In my opinion, this is not what the fanbase is looking for in this series and it left many viewers bored. 3. There were far too many new and/or minor characters that the audience was expected to empathize with and care about, but they were introduced so quickly that viewers have no time to develop any emotional investment in them.

I'm reminded of something Rowling once said in an interview... _"The lake is the setting for the second task that the Triwizard competitors must face in Goblet of Fire, which is also my favourite task. I find it satisfyingly creepy; I like the diversity of the methods employed by the competitors to breathe underwater, and I enjoyed plumbing the depths of a part of the grounds that had never been seen before. In the original draft of Chamber of Secrets, I had Harry and Ron crash into the lake in Mr Weasley's Ford Anglia, and meet the merpeople there for the first time. At that time I had a vague notion that the lake might lead to other places, and that the merpeople might play a larger role in the later books than they did, so I thought that Harry ought to be introduced to both at this stage. However, the Whomping Willow provided a more satisfying, less distracting crash, and served a later purpose in Prisoner of Azkaban, too. The Great Lake (which is really a Scottish loch, apparently freshwater and landlocked) never did develop as a portal to other seas or rivers, although the appearance of the Durmstrang ship from its depths in Goblet of Fire hints at the fact that if you are travelling by an enchanted craft, you might be able to take a magical shortcut to other waterways."_ If Newt had been surprised by Dumbledore asking him when they met and take his Kelpie with him from his home to Hogsmeade, and they met in the dead of night outside Honeydukes and Dumbledore suddenly showing up from _inside_ said shop, asking him to be quiet as not to wake up the owners in the upstairs flat and brought him into Hogwarts castle, where they would sneak outside and walk to the edge of the Great Lake.There, Dumbledore converse with the Merpeople, and told Newt that if he releases his Kelpie into the lake, the Merpeople had agreed to escort him to one of the secret passages underwater that would bring him out to sea, and that he could journey from there to France. Just release the Kelpie, have Dumbledore wish Newt good luck before Newt climbs into the case, Dumbledore closes it, locks it, casts an Impervius Charm on it so it will repel water and tosses it in after the Kelpie, which shoots dramatically up from the water, the case carefully tucked between its teeth, and then disappears back underwater. BOOM. That's how there would've been a pay-off to the Kelpie. How is it Rowling didn't think of this?

[@LuddyFish_]

When you have such an expansive universe with many rules and places, it gets hard just to follow one path and make the sacrifice to leave some things out. I really like this idea though of Newt travelling through the ocean on Kelpie as it brings in more of Newt's closeness to magical beasts. And I might add as well this is very plausible as there is an ocean swim where you swim across the English Channel and many have succeeded.

[@lionproud1287]

[@Cllocopine]

You all say that this movie only will be good in the context of the entire series, but as far as we know literally nothing happens in this movie that’s actually important to the overall plot. The only thing that happens that will be important moving forward is the fact that Queenie and Credence join Grindelwald and credence finds out he’s a Dumbledore. Maybe a few characters that were introduced will be important like Nagini, Flamel and Newt’s brother. But the whole thing with credence wanting to know who he is, everyone chasing him around, finding out he’s actually a Lestrange but actually he’s not is just really a waste of time, we didn’t need to see that before we see the third movie. Then there’s all the other new characters that are introduced but they die so they’re not exactly gonna be important moving forward, Leeta’s sacrifice might be good to know about but literally no one is gonna care about that random guy who supported Grindelwald but not completely so he died, or the black guy who told them a really unnecessary backstory.

It's fine to be part of an over arching plot but every part of the story needs to make sense on it's own too. Think LOTR. Each movie they have one big thing that happens, all of which are stockpiling until they get to the big over arching thing. But each one is a complete story on it's own as well. Movies need to have a complete story first. Once they have that THEN they can work towards tying in an over arching narrative. What is crimes of grindlewalds complete story?

[@jonathancampbell5231]

Thing is, transitional movies rarely work unless they can also stand on their own two feet by themselves as a good film. Since we are talking about a five-part series, EVERY movie is technically "transitional", and if that is how you find yourself describing your story you have probably done something wrong. In truth, a lot of this movie could be cut and not only would it flow much better, it would probably improve the "transition" part greatly because there is SO MUCH in it that doesn't really go anywhere other than serve as an excuse for an action scene or be a red herring to mislead the audience which amounts to wasting everyones' time. Followed by killing off your most interesting female character. As a transition movie...it still has serious issues.

This is what I meant by transitioning

[@vladmarcu3536]

@@chriswats1433 Jonathan Campbell has explained very clearly what a transitional movie should be. Basically every movie which is in a series can be considered a transitional movie until the last movie. But even in this situation, the movies should stand on their own. On the simplest level, a movie should have a start of a plot, the events occurring, and the end of the plot. Simple. Fantastic Beast 2's main issue is that it gives absolutely no resolution to any of the plots or subplots, which by the way most of them were created in the first movie. Second issue is that the plots and subplots are extremely weak, namely no one really cares about them, except the plot with Grindly and Dumbly.

I also really liked the movie as well! 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@antifaweeb6707]

Theres a difference between enjoying a movie and it being good. Suicide squad was enjoyable but no one will ever say it was a great movie film-wise

[@weissschnee4779]

Using specifics like “British military” and “enigma” really give it away; you might as well have said his name was Alan Turing

[@elliedigiammarino790]

The Crimes of Grindelwald can be described by the "once upon a time" rule, but it doesn't focus on the story in this way. Once upon a time there was a man whom didn't want to choose sides. Every day, people told him he had to choose a side, but he didn't. One day he learned that his love interest had chosen a side. Because of that, he tracked her down to aid her. Because of that, he had to choose her side and oppose the evil villain. Until finally, he managed to find the villain's weak spot. Or Once upon a time, there lived a powerful good wizard. Every day he tought magic. One day, his childhood BFF showed himself as an evil villain. Because of that, the good wizard was forced to find a way to defeat his once friend. Because of that, he sent a friend to find a macguffin. Until one day he got the thing which made him able to oppose the villain.

15:20 - Difference between Hogwarts houses: A Hufflepuff (like Newt) didn't want to fight. Harry, a Gryffindor, accepts it immediately. I'm also a Slytherin and in J's version I can see measuring the pros and cons of a situation and the practical side of "Do I really want to do this?" I don't know how a Ravenclaw would react because we don't have Ravenclaws apart from Luna.

[@barboraklepalova3886]

I think Ravenclaws would try to reason with the ministry or find a way around their request.

[@mallory434]

Once upon a time there was a girl who lived on a farm. Everyday, she would do her two favorite things; ride her horse in the countryside and order around the poor farm boy who worked for her family. All he would ever say to her was ‘as you wish’. One day, she realized that when he said ‘as you wish’, what he was really saying to her was ‘I love you’. But that was not as remarkable as when she realized she loved him, too. Because of that, the boy (now a young man) got hired to a ship, so he could earn money for marriage. Unfortunately, his ship was attacked by pirates, and everyone was killed. The young woman vowed she would never love again. Because of that, she (being the most beautiful girl in the world) was pressured to marry the prince of her kingdom, even though she did not love him. Not long after their engagement was announced, she was kidnapped by three strangers and taken to a foreign country, where she is rescued by a strange man in black. Soon after, she learns he is her long lost love, but foolishly goes back to her fiancé to save his life. He is tortured to the edge of death. Until finally she finds out what an awful person the prince is and decides she’d rather die than be his wife. Her beloved stops her suicide attempt, having been rescued and aided by two of her former kidnappers, one of whom was seeking revenge on the prince’s top adviser for killing his father. They all escaped, riding four white horses.

Once upon a time there was a treasure Hunter. Every day he would follow clues to find a treasure very important to his family. Untill one day he found out he had to steal a historic document to find that treasure, which made him hesitant in accomplishing his goal. Because of that, half his crew disbanded from the rest, and started heading after that historic document. Because of that, the other half tried to stop disbanded half from stealing the document, as a race ensued between the two groups to see who could get the treasure first. Until the main character's group got to the treasure first and didn't go to jail because of finding a whole giant room of history, while the other group did go to jail because of attempting to steal the previously mentioned document.
