15 Very Dumb Things in Fantastic Beasts 2

Are the snakes behind you also secretly women?

The Crimes of Grindelwald: - Exceptional cruelty to a lizard - Assembly without a permit - Having a gay lover in England before 1967 - Wand theft - That moustache

It would be pretty amazing if Newt didn't give a damn about Grindelwald's politics and was solely in it to avenge the lizard.

“Grindelwald is a nazi who wants to stop ww2, and queenie, a Jewish woman who can read minds, joins him” Lol

Two most disturbing things to my mind: 1) Two babies get killed in this movie. TWO. 2) Half elves are a thing. That they just brush over. Someone out there is screwing house elves. Why?

Dumbledore: "I can't move against Grindelwald. It has to be you, Newt" Newt: "Why me? What reason do I have to fight him?" Dumbledore: "He killed a lizard" Newt: apparates to Paris

"Can you imagine if they just stopped making these movies?" ~Jenny Nicholson (2018)

I do like this movie’s implication that when Mcgonagall turned into a cat on the first day of transfiguration it was the magical equivalent of her standing up and doing a flip.

I hate that they had to introduce this whole Grindelwald plot when a movie about a gay and/or asexual Wizarding Steve Irwin who just fucks about 1920s New York trying to save animals is a much better premise for a series of movies

Professor Mcgonagall: Divining is a notoriously imprecise art. Grindlewald: vapes and predicts the Manhattan Project

If I was going to do a drive-by movie spoiler, I'd just yell "Grindelwald vapes World War II!" out the window and leave them to chew on that for a bit.

I think what’s even better than the baby dying in the actual shipwreck is the fact that the baby did in fact make it into the lifeboat…. But then that lifeboat also sank

“Imagine if they just stop making these movies right in the middle like Divergent?” I don’t have to imagine💀

Movie: has scenes of small children dying and a woman raped Also movie: no gay for you

Fantastic beasts should have done what it said on the tin. A movie about a kooky dude who just wants to travel and help out animals.

'only snakes can be women' -jk rowling, known snerf

Something that really bothered me about the Hogwarts scene is that Dumbledore is giving the exact same boggart lesson that Lupin did, right down to the wardrobe it comes out of... like...are you kidding me? I thought Lupin had devised an engaging practical lesson out of happenstance, making use of a boggart that had taken up residence in the wardrobe, but it turns out to just be part of the basic curriculum for competent DADA teachers. Sidenote, the word curriculum sounds like it could be the spell JK Rowling casts whenever she's too lazy to write something interesting.

I hate that they made Queenie lose about 100 IQ points between the first and second movies.

I'll be honest- if the movies were just about Newt caring for his animals and being a wizard Doctor Dolittle, I would love them.

Coming back to this now when the news is fresh that the Fantastic Beasts franchise might actually be cancelled because of terrible sales, Jenny's comment about "What if they just stop making these movies in the middle of the story?" is hilariously prophetic.
