Was it just me, did I miss something? The Wizards all talked about ballots and having an election like they'd actually vote for one of the three people including Grindelwald, playing like a cheap metaphor for the recent election fiasco shit, misinformation and hate voting, democracy, all that shit ect, but it's all just ultimately decided by some baby deer. What the fuck, that's not a vote, that's not a democracy they're all pretending to be oh so concerned about. It blew my mind how dumb it was.
Also, Dumbledore's "Make the right choice, not the easy one, ect" sounds like "People shouldn't have the right to vote" which I suppose in the grand scheme of things, they don't, but before that it just sounds like they only care about votes and democracy if it'll go there way. Why bother voting if they know who's best, why not just install them as the head of Wizard world if you know who should and who shouldn't be up there and don't care what the people have to say?
It just felt like they wanted to push a political message and just made it sound like none of them believe in democracy and are happy to suspend those ideals at the first sign of trouble and would probably just prefer kings and dictators decided by magic deer rituals.

user, what do you expect its written by a woman
Jordan Sullivan
I expected an election to be an election, to just stick to the meanings of the word.
Like, if the deer ritual was just a little tradition they did but sort of gave the winner a little boost before the polls open like if you had the candidates do a friendly little eating contest or a little race or game or something fairly mundane but could influence last minute or undecided voters to swing your way and win, but after deer ritual they then opened the polls and people would vote.
But no, the entire thing is a deer bowing, one deer, one vote, one seat of office decided. It was just so dumb to me but that's why I'm asking if I missed something because it feels so dumb it's hard to believe that's just how it is.
Carter Richardson
They were never reliable in the first place.
Jack James
A vote was going to be held, at least that was what was implied especially with all the banners that explicitly talked about voting. But I'm still not really sure how the process works
Gavin Sullivan
How is Gellert the bad guy? All he wants is people not fucking up the planet while slaughtering each other in senseless military conflicts.
Chase Campbell
Nice try, glowie. Democracy is a scam. Only idiots think voting actually counts and makes a difference. It needs to be ripped out by it's roots & burned. Leaders should be chosen by analytical intelligence tests, followed by trial-in-combat.

The black pill of the franchise. I wish they would elaborate on it in future instalments. Also, wizards are shitty people who do shitty things.
Levi Johnson
I gotta respect her grind. She turned some weak ass bongland schoolboy bullshit into something with some potential

That would not be surprising since wizards are very backwards people who used to shit on the floor and vanish it instead of using a toilet just a few hundred years ago
Adam Moore
whoa
Cooper Jenkins
It looks like they line the candidates up, put the magic deer in front of them, and whoever it bows to gets the job, since that's what happens in the movie and Grindlewald's entire plan is to use a fake zombie deer to get elected, and as soon as the real one picks the girl pretty much everyone turns around and goes home, and Grindlewald leaves because that was the entire election. That was it, magic deer picked the lady to lead by divine right of the deer's mandate.
Strange deer distributing bows is no basis for a system of government.
Asher Cruz
For a better example, you could have used their entire legal system - imprisonment without trail, torture of prisoners (using dementors), putting down magical animals just because some brat with bigshot parents complained, treatment of house servants (house-elves) etc.
Humanism wasn't ever a thing in the wizard world, it seems.
Grayson Thompson
This is so confusing. They are still holding 'vote for' banners in Bhutan. So which one is it?
Joseph Jackson
I feel bad for JK. She's based, super hot for her age, but she is just the worst writer to ever get ridiculously famous. She's stuck with her childrens fantasy series when she desperately wants to be something more. What she doesn't realize is that she'd be a far more respected writer if she respected her own work as childrens fantasy, instead of half heartedly trying to stuff it with her "adult" ambitions. The best books, and the best movies, were the first three Potters. Everything after that becomes increasingly desperate and without identity. She wants a fantasy epic aka LOTR, she wants to be politically relevant, she wants to be a *real* writer. I just want to hug her and tell her it's going to be ok, I just want her to respect herself as a childrens author and let her imagination run wild like it did for the first two books. You don't have to prove yourself JK, I love you just the way you are.
Dylan Rodriguez
I don't get it either. There's "Vote for" banners all over, but at the end of the day, there's just literally no vote unless you are that deer. The people have no say in how their government is being run.
Lucas Torres
Lost what? Only complete retards don't know that the audience score for RT is compromised and the films a huge flop
Jackson Reed
The film's is flopping in the US only because of Americans and how pro-tranny they are. Internationally, it's doing decent
Nathan Martinez
>Internationally, it's doing decent
It opened two weeks ago in a lot of markets and it's opened way behind the last film. The opening for this was half what the last film opened to in the UK. It's by no means doing "decent'
Asher Clark
Once again, nobody gives a damn about the tranny bullshit outside of North America. Really shows you where this entire thing came from and who benefits from it.
Jordan Jenkins
Do you have any data for that by country? If you're lumping China together with the others, you must know that all films earn much less there since the Wuhan Pneumonia because of lockdowns, 'show me your health permit' etc.
Thomas Smith
The film fucking sucks though
It's nothing like the old HP and it's full of queer shit and muh Trump bad shit
Brody Morales
I agree
Jose Jackson
Obviously it will do less than the previous film. Released post covid when many countries still have restrictions, during April instead of holiday season like previous movies, with the previous film being critically despised and there being a 4 year gap for this one and all the controversy surrounding it (Rowling, Depp, Miller). All of this was guaranteed to hamper the movie. But it's done decent in the international market at least
deadline.com
>Still, at the international box office this weekend, the threequel was again the top movie and ranked No. 1 in 52 markets, including 41 of the 44 new openers. The overseas sophomore frame added $71.7M for a cume of $150.4M, bringing global just shy of $200M at $193.4M.
Gavin Parker
You can go to box office mojo and see the opening country by country.
Grindlewald opened to 15.8mil while Dumbledore opened to 7.6mil. in the UK
We haven't got the figures for all the countries yet but it opened lower everywhere. The US dropoff isn't about trannies either. It's perfectly in line with the drops other countries are seeing

Gabriel Green
It was good. It's not as good as the old HP shit but i liked it. Better than the previous movie by a mile
Anthony Lopez
>Released post covid
COOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE
Adam Butler
No it wasn't GOOD. It fucking sucks and your standards are incredibly low. If you paid to watch this shit you're contributing to the decline of kino, you homo.
Brandon Bailey
This movie was absolute garbage.
Sonic 2 was way way better. What kind of world do we live in where a blue hedgehog outdoes Harry Potter.
Cameron Brown
You forgot to read the other factors, faggot. The Sonic movie didn't go through anywhere close the development hell that this movie has gone through. And the Sonic franchise also doesn't have an open hate campaign against it like this one does from the troons
Aiden Nguyen
Trump lost
Blake Perez
Wasn't this one taken away from Rowling and finished by some other guy?
Andrew Campbell
NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE TROONS YOU MASSIVE FUCKING QUEER. The film is making less in every country on earth simply because nobody cares about this series. The first was just OK and the second was complete garbage that killed it.
Brandon Reed
I feel like they were trying to make it seem like a Harry Potter book.
A bunch of random shit happens and then is loosely bullshitted together at the end to make it seem like it was all planned out the entire time.
Angel Jenkins
She's still writing and producing it, but she has a co writer now
Henry Powell
Oh no it was written by Moffat I knew it
Brayden Flores
>it was written by Moffat
That explains a lot
Logan Scott
And I acknowledged that as well faggot. There isn't much demand for this series especially due to the second film, but the troon vendetta is absolutely undeniable and it would have affected this movie even if it was universally beloved
Dominic Hall
>muh Trump bad shit
/pol/tards still obsessed.
Evan Roberts
>but the troon vendetta is absolutely undeniable and it would have affected this movie even if it was universally beloved
If the last movie was also beloved? I doubt it
Kevin Peterson
>Denmark – $1,400,000
Well, of course.
Luis Wilson
Yes. The previous movie could have been a cinematic masterpiece and this one would still suffer due to all the existing factors, albeit in a different level.
Ian Perez
Half those factors wouldn't exist if this was a healthy franchise and we have seen other movies perform well post covid. You spend so much time here that you think the average person gives a shit about trannies on twitter when they don't.
Tyler Baker
Even most of the well performing movies now are not performing as good as movies would perform pre covid.
Brody Thomas
Based Danes supporting their best boy.
David Bailey
Saw it today. Was pretty enjoyable and I like the whole aesthetics of that era so I found it visually appealing. But the story suffers from the same problems I always felt Harry Potter suffered from. It just feels so disjointed and all over the place. And I'm not talking about the ibtentional misdirection bits. I'm talking about how frequently these stories rely on Macguffins that you'd never even heard of before the latest installment.
In my opinion, they could have vastly improved the entire story with a few simple changes. One idea that occurred to me is that they could have introduced a subtle environmental message by having it suggested that it is actually the belief and imagination of all the Muggles that creates magic in the first place. If they'd done that, you'd have a running theme of "It's a mistake to take for granted things you don't understand."
And Kowalski could have had an epic moment where it's revealed that Muggles, the ultimate source of magic, upon becoming aware of its reality become capable of resisting it, provided they have sufficient strength of will.
>Cruciatus
>Kowalski falls down, writhing in pain
>Chokes out, "Thanks to these past few years, I believe in magic now."
>Fixes his gaze on Grindelwald.
>"But I don't believe in you."
>Stands.
Grindelwald's entire scheme is undone in that moment, revealing to the Wizarding World that their entire existence depends on those humble muggles.
Chase Carter
>It just feels so disjointed and all over the place
I blame the director.
Juan Wood
They'd discontinued the practice of having the deer choose. I look at it as making the implicit statement that the purest soul isn't always the best to lead. Grindelwald brought in the zombie deer to make a point about his motivations, and by extension his soul, being pure.
Blake Edwards
I agree.
Luis Bailey
Hell yes.
Nolan Hernandez
harry potter looks like THAT???
Dominic Perez
I was rewatching the previous ones to prepare for it, and all I could think about is how Newt is totally a wizard autist isnt he?
>prefers animals to people
>constantly slouching for no reason
>doesn’t like to make eye contact or look at people
>is a fucking weirdo even for wizards
Lucas Anderson
Because we need muh Fantastic Beast for the plot lmao
Isaac Martinez
I'm pretty sure the actor himself said that Newt is supposed to be an autist and that's why he portrays him like that. But autism wasn't recognized in the early 1900s so he wouldn't have been diagnosed
Aaron Harris
He is. Also, his timid, skittish mannerisms serve to make him seem more like an animal than a person.
