I saw a commercial for the movie during March Madness and it was all quick cuts and Dumbledore. No magical beast at all.

There are some crab things that show up in one trailer but that seems to be it.

In the end, we realize that it was wizards who were the beasts all along.

According to the leaked script (which was pretty much 100% confirmed real by the trailer) there is a magical beast that is a pivotal maguffin to the plot, but it's still a plot VERY firmly focused on stopping Grindelwald using a superbrain 4D chess scheme cooked up by Dumbledore. Even more than the previous movie honestly.

Turns out, the most dangerous beasts were us all along. Oh and also the goblins, they're definitely beasts and should not be allowed to have wands, or freedom for that matter.

Regalingualius posted:Even American comics made while the war was still ongoing managed to come up with a better handwave (“we would if it wasn’t for those darn Nazis having occult magic/artifacts that would tear us apart”) than HP’s excuse. What's even weirder is they basically make allusions to WW1 in the first FB that imply that it was the situation everyone thought was the case for WW2 -- that both sides had wizards so it washed out in the end. Of course as Rowling actually focuses in on a specific era it gets more convoluted, and the whole secrecy thing muddies things further, so all of a sudden it becomes about Dumbledore's secret brother and ex-boyfriend but with weird/uncomfortable references to a real life multi-generational tragedy.

JKR has said before that Dumbledore is her favorite character to write. Turns out that means she isn't interested in writing for any other character. Remember in Half Blood Prince when Harry did gently caress-all for the entire year, and then Dumbledore showed up and was like, "oh by the way I've been progressing the plot offscreen the whole time, time to take you to evil magic cave instead of a competent adult for no good reason now". By the end the books were actually about Dumbledore, and these movies are like a speedrun version of that.

You know this septology could have followed various book writers living around the same time to add to the world-building and filling in the overall plot with what happened between Grindelwald and Dumbledore.Rotten Red Rod posted:JKR has said before that Dumbledore is her favorite character to write.

Harry was busy chasing the non-red-herring of Draco and Snape even though Dumbledore warned him not to giving no reasons as to why other than he trusts Snape. Of course, as we know, this strategy worked well on Harry the previous year.

We could show you a cool adventure in the jungles of thailand searching for a rare creature out hero wants to protect while greedy wizards from Stereotopolis want only to capture it to profit from it, or we can show you unedited holocaust footage while some visibly confused actors pretend not to be gay in front of them.

Guy A. Person posted:What's even weirder is they basically make allusions to WW1 in the first FB that imply that it was the situation everyone thought was the case for WW2 -- that both sides had wizards so it washed out in the end. It feels like on the one hand Rowling wants the Wizarding world to be completely separate from the real one, and the answer to "why don't wizards solve [x]?" is "because they don't loving care about muggles and their poo poo." This is pretty much what Hagrid tells Harry in the first book and It's super easy to handwave away their lack of involvement in major historical events this way. On the other hand though, Rowling keeps dragging muggles and their poo poo into the plot. There really didn't need to be a scene where Fudge and Rufus show up to tell Tony Blair about Voldemort, and there certainly didn't need to be a movie about wizard involvement in WW2. The only muggles we ever needed to hear about in the story are the Dursleys and all the rest of it is just uncomfortable or awkward fluff.

The one asian character we got in The Crimes of Grindelwald was bad enough. Imagine the racist poo poo we would be getting if the story was set in an asian country.

"Ok you need to know this evil guy is here, I don't know his nose status, I mainly focus on hair, but for sure Draco Malfoy's wife has come back in time to here, the year 1980, and he absolutely plowed her and cucked that little jackoff Draco Malfoy. If Draco ever has a kid in the future, just know it will be Voldemort's kid irl. Lmao."
