Fantastic Beasts 3, Secrets of Dumbledore

If you liked Harry Potter before JKR decided to be fucking insane, and enjoy making fun of bad movies, you have to watch this monstrosity. It’s nonsense, the plot is insane, the writing is awful, the effects are bad, the filmmaking is bad, everything about it is awful.

And all of that for the core plot of “Our heroes have to get the magic deer to the Wizard election to ensure Grindelwald doesn’t prevent the Holocaust”

I want to be so clear that I am not exaggerating when I say they ensure the Holocaust isn’t prevented. In the second movie the bad guy shows visions of WW2 and the Holocaust and says “Follow me to prevent these horrors!”

The movie's plot basically is the liberal dream: Hitler rigs an election but then is proved to have cheated so he gets a little mad but then drops out of the election anyway so the pure hearted liberal can be chosen by the voting machine

It's such a baffling, ridiculous franchise after the first movie. I hate Rowling but I legitimately want them to continue, these were supposed to be a 5 movie series and I want to see how absurd it can get

And in this analogy Hitler is, again, the man who had visions of the Holocaust and nuclear bombs and is trying to prevent WW2

To be fair he's planning to do this by murdering anyone who can't use magic

It's a fucking mess

Here’s the rally at the end of the second movie where he shows those visions

Grindelwald is the Hitler analog who is trying to enslave humanity. But he’s the one trying to prevent the Holocaust. It’s insane.

Im going to guess that in the third one he goes too far in an uncharacteristic manner like what happens to a lot of these villains because even if he is ruthless there has to be some extra shit to convince the audience that the guy preventing the deadliest war in human history is the true villain. Even if he is using that for propaganda purposes and is megalomaniac..... I mean shit.... Its world war 2
