Fantastic Beasts Thoughts

Well, it’s been a while, my dudes. I literally saw the new Fantastic Beasts movie two days early at a special screening and am still only getting to this now. The thing is, I wanted to organize my thoughts and make sure I wasn’t being overly critical before I said anything and...I don’t think I was. The movie was a mess guys.

On the plus side, sitting with these thoughts also put me in a place where I actually think it’s would have been fixable, and I’m going to tell you how for literally no reason. Just stick with me, guys. And there will be spoilers.

1. Cut half the plots of this movie:

Credence looking for his family is all fine and well, but does not help this movie at all. Seriously, I understand they are trying to further the plot point of him wanting to be somewhere he belongs from the first movie, but couldn’t he just be trying to live a normal life in the wizarding world and learning to control his magic and Grindelwald constantly sending people after him is derailing that, making him a threat and causing the Ministry to also want him? Then we could have Credence back and not have the weird magic circus story that exists for no real reason and the moments where we stop the movie short to show a conversation with a random nanny who gives a tiny bit of exposition and then dies. We could also focus more on Grindelwald’s actual followers and power.

 Also, the side plot of Dumbledore literally being unable to fight Grindelwald, totally pointless (I’ll get to more on that one later). He could’ve just had the Ministry watching him because they think he’s searching for Credence and they have conflicting hopes for him, and have sent Newt to find Credence before Grindelwald because Newt wasn’t being watched, and boom, reason Dumbledore doesn’t go after Credence himself. 

So, basically, just have the movie about Grindelwald still trying to remove the Obscurial from Credence, and Dumbledore trying to cure Credence, and the Ministry trying to kill the Obscurial by any means necessary and you have one cohesive plot that you can show Newt using beasts to help him along the way and have Credence back, and have Grindelwald be a threat and all the side plots are pretty much flushed.

2. Better explanations: 

So I’ve heard a lot of people confused about things that happened between this movie and the first. I, myself, don’t understand the sudden jump to Grindelwald telling his followers Credence is the lost Lestrange boy. I’m assuming he just went with the flow when someone brought it up?? But I’d love a clear answer to that. I’d love a clear answer to Why Credence joined a circus in the first place. Or why Queenie turned psycho so quick (That’s also talked on more in the next point). What’s up with Grindelwald’s weird hookah magic? Please explain the series of events that led to that opening escape scene. Why didn’t he just duck out on that dude who switched places with him? He certainly didn’t seem particularly useful anyway. None of these questions are answered, and I’d love if, for all the exposition in this damn movie, we could get useful answers.

3. Don’t 180 established characters for lazy plot reasons:

Okay, we all know who I’m talking about. Queenie was established first movie to be very empathetic and, mostly even despite her seemingly air-headed demeanor and whimsical attitude, an amazingly resourceful and adept witch. So why, when the second movie rolls around, is she suddenly crazy, and then triggered by the word crazy?? She literally kidnaps her boyfriend and tries to trick him into marriage and when he’s not even mad, makes solid logical points as to why they aren’t married, and thinks at her that she’s being a bit crazy (which she is as far as we can tell), she acts like he’s in the wrong and runs off?? The chick we see this movie is not Queenie. Even worse, there is no explanation for why she is losing it, and not being as understanding as we know her to be. Not to mention, making her crazy actually diminishes what they were trying to do. How much more terrifying and awe worthy would it have been if, instead of turning a crazed woman to his side, Grindelwald took our original Queenie and turned her to his side? Or, even better, how about that plot point not exist at all? 

4. Let Dumbledore be gay:

This one is just annoying. Honestly, why couldn’t they have just let him be hesitant to go after Grindelwald because he’d loved him once? Why is that so hard to do? Why mention it if it means nothing to any of the established canon for mainstream audiences? I’m just disappointed in this one. If they had dropped the whole blood oath crap and just let him have the moment in the mirror where it’s just them, that would’ve been enough for me to not be as mad as I am.

5. Stop ruining established canon for pointless fan service: 

I’m talking to you McGonagall and Nagini. There is a right way to do fan service, Nicholas Flamel and going to Hogwarts to see Dumbledore where examples of that. Giving us lore and then taking a giant dump all over it is not. McGonagall should not have been at Hogwarts, you literally have five movies to bring her in and this was the wrong one to do it in. You wanted to show through the raise of Voldemort, so wait for that to show McGonagall. Don’t shove her in early for literally no reason at all. 

Also, let’s talk about how dumb Nagini existing this movie was. She does absolutely nothing to further this plot. She’s just there, making sad eyes at Credence and turning into a snake. She has so few lines, the movie would literally barely be any shorter if she never said anything at all. Every scene she’s in could’ve gone exactly the same without her, with the most minimal changes. Have Credence escape the circus on his own (or subscribe to my idea and don’t do that circus thing at all). Have Tina be the one asking him not to go with Grindelwald since they already have an established rapport, and boom, movie is literally hardly any different (once again, unless we go with my plot). 

6. Don’t waste interesting characters:

Newt’s brother, Thaddeus and his fiancee Leda actually seemed to have pretty good chemistry with Newt, and they did this really clever thing where we see how uncomfortable Newt is with them which makes us realize how close he really is to Tina, Queenie, and Jacob in the first film because it’s a vast contrast to how he is with his brother and former best friend. Then they go and give neither of them anything to do the whole movie and cap it off by killing Leda off at the end. I’m not gonna lie, her talents were wasted, and to make matters worse, I don’t actually care enough about her by the end of the movie for the the death to cause me sadness. Something compounded by the fact that it comes in the wake of Queenie’s betrayal, which is by and large more upsetting. Explore Newt’s possible feelings of abandonment by Leda. Have her have a useful job, one that maybe makes her privy to info about what the Ministry is up to and pass it on to Newt or Dumbledore. Something! Anything but that dumb convoluted sibling plot line that reeked of ignorance and poor taste. 

Also, give Thaddeus more to do. Explore his dynamic with Newt more. Have him more torn about siding with his brother and Dumbledore or siding with the Ministry. He does little else, besides telling Newt the Ministry is watching him (something that presents no hindrance to Newt and his travels whatsoever), and looking worried or strained in places with the other Aurors. Have his job as Auror conflict with Newt’s plans more. Have him chasing his own brother. Like, give him something to do. 

7. Flashbacks or Exposition, not both:

I don’t have much to say other than it halted the movie to show us stuff we were already told. Either show or tell, don’t do both.

8. Make Grindelwald more of a threat:

He doesn’t actually do much in this movie. None of his speeches seem that charismatic. The way he interacts with his followers doesn’t seem very charismatic. We get a lot of people telling us he is, but I never see it. He kills some people who aren’t prepared to fight him, and he has a single fight scene which was actually pointless because he should’ve just escaped and left a dude to die in his place which would’ve shown his real menace at least a bit more than what we got. The running joke is, nobody really knows what the crimes of Grindelwald are this movie. I mean, yes there is the obvious stuff: murder, gathering without a permit, escaping police custody, maybe some secrecy issues?? But for a movie literally named for his crimes, there is still a surprising lack of actual bad stuff he does.

He has one really clever moment and it doesn’t happen until the very end of the movie so it honestly feels too little too late. I will mention that it’s a great example of how well matched he a Dumbledore were though, because we’re led to believe they both knew what would happen if the Aurors showed up at his rally. It’s honestly his best moment, in my opinion.

9. Don’t do that ending you did: 

It’s dumb. It’s terrible. It better be a lie. Once again, it takes a dump on well established canon to do something that isn’t even necessary. i just...no. Don’t do any of that you did.

This is a little snapshot of Harrypotterfanfiction.com (HPFF) on the eve of its closure.

HPFF is one of many hefty HP archives that littered the internet in the early 00s. When I recorded this data, it housed 85,767 fics. It doesn’t have as overt a focus as many of those old archives, but looking at these stats, you can get a sense of which part of HP fandom it attracts.

Notes:

Other & OC = “Other Pairings” + OC/OC, not a gen ship of other+OC.

Format, rating, and era appear to be exclusive (1 tag per fic). Ships and genres are not.

The archive has a set list of tags to choose from including 45 ship tags and 104 character tags. Ship gender is not a metadata category. (I calculated this based on classifying the list of available ship tags.) The site has primary and secondary ship tagging as an option, but I did not look at that for these charts.

The available m/m ship tags are:

Remus/Sirius - 166

Draco/Harry - 138

Albus/Gellert - 25

The F/F tag is:

Ginny/Hermione - 13

Full ship and character tag list for the curious under the cut because it’s long.

[kuppiekay]

i just finished watching fantastic beasts and where to find them (1st time) and like.............. im butthurt???????????????

[animentality]

Ok so my assessment of fantastic beasts 2: how to pander to your original audience is best put into a list. So here.

Strengths:

- characters-

- newt scamander: lovely performance by redmayne. He's probably the strongest character of the two films. He plays awkward and anti social very well, brings a very charming strangeness to the character. I think newt is a good protagonist. just...not for this story. Will explain more.

- Jacob Kowalski: he's still the relatable regular Joe character. I'm fond of him, actually, so no complaints about him. His friendship with newt is pure and his relationship with Queenie is realistic enough.

- Queenie: despite her mistakes this film, I still thought she was a fairly relatable and interesting character. I'm not sure if joining a wizard cult because she wants to marry a man is totally in character, though, as she's not a psychopath and you can advocate for muggle wizard intermarriage without turning to wizard supremacists, but eh. Drama. She was fine. Her sort of cheery kindness and quirky little Americanisms are still rather charming, even though she was overshadowed by other stories. 

- Leda Lestrange: lovely character. I loved her relationship with newt, I thought it was sweet and sort of reminiscent of the mutual outcast friendship that forms between people who aren't understood by others. I thought I would hate having a Lestrange be shoved into the plot for no reason, but she was actually an interesting person, since she was seen as wicked and nasty, and was a Slytherin with a pure blood family to boot. I'm not gonna lie, her line about how newt never met a monster he couldn't love was strangely touching.

- Tina: .... Hm she's still a flat character for me, but her affection for newt's odd mannerisms makes her at least a passable character in my book. I feel like she was a little flatter this movie than last movie, since she really didn't get more than one character building scene, but she was fine. 

-Fantastic Creatures-

- nifflers: adorable as ever. they’re almost too cute, and i usually resist the allure of corporate based “adorable little animals,” but nifflers are too much like platypuses for me to hate them. they’re sweet, and newt’s baby nifflers, and main niffler, were very lovable. the mechanics of their movement also never fail to impress me, they really feel like living creatures.

-the dragon cat thing: fucking amazing. i loved that thing’s design. i loved how it moved, and i loved how newt wasn’t afraid of it. he knew what it needed and he went towards it, hoping to free it by taking it out of the industrial prison it had been locked in. absolutely adored the little cat toy he brought out to lure it into his briefcase. THAT is what these movies should be about, not this whole grindelwald nonsense. more on that later. 

- Newt’s suitcase:  I love every creature in newt’s suitcase, as well as his suitcase. very creative, very visually stunning, seeing how he has multiple ecosystems and creatures living in it. I also love his house below his house. riding the kelpie was such a...it was such a good moment. it actually made me feel like i was watching a harry potter movie. 

- aesthetics- 

- the 20′s aesthetic just works. costume design was lovely, creature designs are realistic, and i love the camera angles over the paris skyline as well as the very 20s look and atmosphere. 

- newt and dumbledore dress very well. 

Now for the weaknesses. 

- These movies do not need to exist. Yes, yes, I know, we love Harry Potter. But this didn’t need to be related to the original Harry Potter for us to be interested in it. Credence could’ve had his own story. Newt, could’ve had his own story, no relevance to the other Harry Potter at all, and still been interesting. The movies themselves existing, sure, fine, but acting like Newt’s story HAS to be connected to Harry’s outside of the very slim connection of being in the same universe? Yeah, that ruins the story of newt scamander. he doesn’t NEED to be under orders of Albus Dumbledore, he’s strong enough of a character to be alone, with a whole new set of characters. Having the stories connect to Harry’s is just emphasizing painfully how little they really have to do with his. 

- it suffers from the classic prequel issue of continuity. Plot holes? I can handle them. But making Credence a Dumbledore, having Leda Lestrange only to kill her off in a dumb way, having MCGONAGALL who shouldn’t be born yet? Yikes. PLUS, Newt manages to get the blood pact thing from Grindelwald, and Dumbledore is like, well I might be able to destroy it....BUT WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. HE BEATS GRINDELWALD IN A FIGHT? Where’s the suspense? You can’t keep bringing in old characters just for lols and to make the audience gasp, because they clash with the new. We KNOW what happens to them. In a prequel, you should really aim to bring in new characters, and try to be conservative with how many old ones you bring back precisely because of this problem. So that annoyed me. 

- Nagini, Leda Lestrange, Credence, and Albus Dumbledore. Nagini. Does. Nothing. This. Entire. Movie. Her role is literally to hang on Credence’s arm and make puppy dog eyes when he leaves her. There is no depth whatsoever to her character. She’s just a sad beautiful caged Asian lady who follows a suffering white boy around, that’s about it. You could’ve actually focused on her feelings about her blood curse, but they didn’t even do that. She’s literally just there, kind of like Cho Chang. Well done, JK, that diversity thing sure is neat-o. 

Leda Lestrange. She actually had a great backstory, and a lot of potential. We saw that people assumed she was nasty and a bully. We saw that she was misunderstood, and hated for it, and she took it because she felt like she was responsible for the death of her “brother.” Combine that with pure blood fanatics in her family, blood purists, and the fact that she was in slytherin, the “evil” house? yeah, could’ve been wonderful. could’ve been epic, to have her sort of openly fight that. but no, they really under developed her. she had good moments with newt at hogwarts, and i loved her stand against grindelwald, yet i can’t help but feel they didn’t emphasize her fucked up family more. like if you’re gonna bring back the LESTRANGE family, then really fucking go INTO them, you know? They didn’t even really focus on that aspect of her character. They just called her a bully and left it at that. 

Credence. I loved him in the first movie, but fuck, making him a dumbledore? canonically, the only way you can write around dumbledore’s established backstory is to make up some hidden child drama, and boy is that fucking dumb. plus, the Ariana backstory was all we needed for dumbledore?  He regretted not loving his sister enough, he regretted being blinded by ambition and a love for power, he regretted being hypnotized by grindelwald’s brilliance, and his own. That was all we needed from him. But this? A hidden brother, given away by his parents? Why? What purpose does it have? It’s not really adding to Dumbledore’s character, to have him feel bad about an abandoned brother who’s become a monster because of it. It’s just adding another sob story about an orphan to him.

I bet you anything that next movie, Dumbledore will make some line about Credence, or to Credence, about how orphan boys so often feel alone, and unloved, and it’s not their faults, or something stupid, because he’s going to have to allude to The Boy Who Lived at some point. 

Dumbledore himself.  Listen, I love Dumbledore. i think he’s a brilliantly written character with flaws that are fleshed out very well in the last harry potter book. But if you’re going to make a prequel to harry potter...either focus on dumbledore or focus on newt. you’re doing no one any favors by having the two compete with whose story they’re in. dumbledore’s grindelwald drama could’ve easily been a more interesting story on its OWN. making it a side story to newt’s is fucking weird because newt’s IS a side story to harry potter. which brings me to...

THE PLOT

What the fuck?

Literally what the fuck.

I was actually zoning OUT for parts of the beginning and middle of the movie.

Not much actually HAPPENED.

The plot is literally just to chase Credence around Paris. It’s only near the end, really, that we see the dumb family drama.

There should’ve been more emphasis on Grindelwald trying to take over the ministry or find supporters. 

Because Find Credence is like...such a slim plot.

It’s basically Wreck it Ralph 2, except at least that movie never bored me.

Lemme put it this way:

Newt’s objective: Find Credence. Find Tina, who is looking for Credence.

Tina: Look for Credence. 

Grindelwald: Look for Credence. 

Jacob: Find Queenie. 

Queenie: Find Way to be with Jacob. Then Find Grindelwald, cuz he may be the Way, so in short, find Credence. 

Ministry of Magic of Paris: Find Credence. Find Grindelwald.

It’s a movie of finding everything EXCEPT FANTASTIC BEASTS.

it’s just frustrating, is all, because as i was watching it, i just thought christ, are they gonna find this kid or what?

And the “search” plot isn’t necessarily bad.

i mean plenty of movies have plots where they’re essentially just going from point 1 to point 2. 

but what’s bad about this one is that we don’t get many character building between the finding.

we don’t get inspired chase or fight scenes to make the finding interesting.

we don’t even really get a powerful message about wizard populism or the evils of racist demagogues. 

It’s just a story about finding a powerful dude whose powers are ill defined and who just wants to find his birth parents. 

That story could’ve been interesting if they’d just had more character interactions. 

But they didn’t.

The only characters who really interacted well and gave the movie even a sliver of depth were Leda and Newt....and guess who died?

So. 

Yeah.

That’s what I thought of the movie. 

The characters, and actors, are lovely. 

The fantastic beasts really are awesome and feel realistic. They actually feel like Harry Potter, that’s the best way i can describe it. When I saw the Kelpie, I thought, this is what Harry Potter felt like. 

But the plot?

Weak.

The development of characters? Also weak. And uninspired. And it doesn’t use them all to their full potential. 

Nagini? Why have her here? She’s already a dumb extra plot device, this makes it worse by not even having her be useful to the plot. 

Dumbledore? Needs his own story. 

Grindelwald? Not compelling as a villain, not very complex. Also not gay enough for Dumbledore. 

Tl; dr- I liked any part where newt is being newt and loving animals, but acting weird to people. I did not like whenever they tried to make the movie as harry-potter related as possible.

Crimes of Grindelwald Spoilers

Ok so I LOVE the Harry Potter universe but I must say that I have some problems with this movie

1. McGonagall would not have been a professor seeing as she wasn't even born yet???

2. Dumbledore taught transfiguration before McGonagall did... he didn't reach DADA

3. How is Creedence a Dumbledore like where did that even come from what is the familial relation there

4. Im confused why Nagini was even in this movie to be honest she added nothing to the plot at all

5. You can't apparate in or out of Hogwarts

6. Johnny Depp being in this movie in general (but that's an entire other can of worms for another post)

7. I found it overall a little hard to follow there were so many subplots going on at once it was hard to understand the main take away from the movie it almost seemed like a bad fanfiction written by someone who had never read the Harry Potter books

This all being said, the cinematography was amazing and I loved the flashback of Newt and Leda practing Riddikulus and I loved the reveal of what Leda's boggart was (even if it seemed a little out of place in the movie seeing as Creedance was constantly hinted at being a Lestrange and then just...wasn't??) (also were Leda and Corvus on the Titanic or did I just make that up???)

Sorry for the rant these are just my initial thoughts after seeing the movie please see if for yourselves and decide and lmk what everyone else thinks I wanna discuss

[katiehavok]

Leta Daphne Lestrange

Leta, most likely derived from the name Leda, daughter of King Thestius, who became a Spartan Queen of Greek mythology, in which the story of Leda and the Swan is the focus, who begets two sets of twins; associated with eroticism.

Daphne, Greek naiad pursued by Apollo and transformed by Gaia, the personification of the earth and nature, into a laurel to preserve her chastity; apostle of Artemis.

Lestrange, a surname echoing the French phrase l'étrange meaning literally “the strange one.”

[garr9988]

Considering Leta Lestrange is named after Leda (from the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan), it wouldn’t surprise me if the swan is Leta’s Patronus (if she can cast one), if not Newt’s (at least its first form).

I mean, it does represent beauty and love (and they mate for life, and as of FB1, while Newt does have a burgeoning crush on Tina, he does still have feelings for Leta).
