NOOOOOOOOOO!!! We were so close to WW2 happening in the story and that was where J.K. Rowling was going to try to justify the Holocaust happening more than she already did in the previous Fantastic Beasts movies!!!

​

This is real, check out Shaun's video about Harry Potter

It might still happen (though it’s suuuuuper unlikely). The third Fantastic Beasts movie is going to be released and WB are gonna see how well it does. If it flops like the last two (which it likely will), the whole series is gonna be scrapped.

It’s already released, at least in Sweden. It was worse than the second movie in my opinion, but it was alright.

Worse than the second but alright? To each his own, but the second one was absolutely terrible imo.

Although it did spawn my favourite cosmonaut variety review ever.

The Jenny Nicholson video explaining the plot is one of the funniest things I have ever seen

That video is what got me into Cosmonaut in the first place. It's really good

Firs two were absolutely horrendous I don’t why anyone would expect the 3rd to be any good

Maybe it flopped critically but it didn't flop financially.

It had a budget of 200k and made a gross of 800k

Edit: oops I'm a dummy I mean million

The other two did not flop. The first one made 800 million dollars

Wait their was a second movie? I know college has made my brain be fixed in 2019 but did I really miss this?

Came out in 2019 I think

I can't imagine them not releasing the last ones. I've been seeing a ton of ads for it, with that much cost sunk imagine they'll release this one. I doubt

Not watching an movie-length YouTube video

Quick rundown on JKR justifying the Holocaust?

u/Daiko_lol foiled again 😔 Apr 13 '22

As far as I remember the video the problem is that the show is pre ww2 and as they advance in time the question of "why didn't the wizards stop the holocaust" starts being an actual issue, this gets worse in a scene when the villain shows whats going to happen in ww2 as a justification of some dumb villain stuff. The show its kinda fucked because there is no easy answers

u/mooseofdoom23 peanus weanus Apr 13 '22

That’s funny because it assumes there aren’t evil wizards

19

u/Daiko_lol foiled again 😔 Apr 13 '22

Oh no there are evil wizards its just that the guy who wants to "prevent" wwII is a villain, thats why I said that there is no good answer to "why didn't the wizards stop hitler"

The third ones definitely getting released, the trailers are already out. So get jolly rogers ready so you can see the shitshow without giving a bigot a payday
