They weren't that bad. Why did audiences absolutely despise them?

My wife watched all of these and I fell asleep during each one, couldn't tell you a a thing about them. Charisma void movies

>>213805549 (OP)
they were based on two mini novels barely anyone in the HP audience gave a fuck about and clearly existed as a cash grab

FIRST one wasn't that bad.
It was a spinoff, people loved it, that's why they made more.
But then they decided that spin-off wasn't enough, and they tried to tie it to main Harry Potter canon
What the FLYING fuck has Dumbledore and grindelwald has to do with fantastic beasts and where to find them

>>213805549 (OP)
The first one kinda works as its own thing but then they ruined it with the Grindelwald reveal. The other ones are just pointless garbage that could have worked if they weren't tied to the first one and the Newt character.

>>213805549 (OP)
The first one was ok but the other ones were just lmao

>>213805549 (OP)
Even the first one has 1 hour of footage to spare.

>>213805549 (OP)
first one worked because it was a short story leeching on the Harry Potter universe, some nice monsters here and there, altough i cant stand that fucking faggot as a main character. The thing is, they were trying to build up the hype to the fight between Dumbledore and Grindewald, they should have made just the second one to end it all.

>>213805549 (OP)
People prefer the original.

>>213805549 (OP)
these movies were all extremely boring with lame or annoying characters. audiences rejected them because they all fucking sucked. the whole appeal of harry potter was it was kid to YA fantasy, you introduce older adults and it doesn't work. it's just lame.

>>213805549 (OP)
The franchise has serious branding issues. As people about the following media

>Harry Potter
Oh yeah, what about it?/Not really a fan, leave me alone.

>Hogwarts Legacy
Oh that's the Harry Potter game, right?

>Wizarding World
What? Is that what they call Harry Potter Land at Universal Studios?

>Fantastic Beasts
Is that related to Harry Potter?

Fantastic Beasts clearly should have been just a side story. Then they could have done another side story that also features Grindelwald as a supporting villain before making the third movie explicitly

For me it was the brunette jewfu

>>213805716
this
if they wanted to do that story they should've at least came up with a different title, it makes no sense tying these together with Newt

that twink is so visually offputting I just refuse to watch anything he's in besides that one tv show about building churches which he was the worst part of

>>213805549 (OP)
It was incredibly forgettable. There's three of them and I don't have enough recollection to recall even one film's worth. Literally the only think I remember from the second film, trying to think over it, is I think there was a scene with a bunch of fire. That's it.

>>213807318
wait, that's a real movie?

>>213807742
When the movie was coming out, they were making a promotion at some local radio station, and the people radio show hosts assumed Fantastic Beast most have been a diferent fantasy book series but by the studio that brought you Harry Potter.

It could have been kino bros....

>have each movie be Newt exploring a different continent and cataloguing their beasts in a pseudo nature documentary style
>five movie franchise with video game spinoffs like jurassic park evolution
>miles of furry porn

They wanted to anchor their own prequel trilogy onto FB which did decent. I'm pretty sure the "Fantastic Beasts" logo got smaller each movie.

First one and third one were terrible. The second was was descent because of Johnny Depp and the faggots threw him under the bus. It's over.

kids... imagine if your school with your friends and all, was like a magic school that you lived at and you were away from parents and there was GIRLS there (boys if you're a girl) and you could like sneak to their part at night and also there's like comfy magic and heroics.
NOW imagine... after that, you know how, in the past, gay men had to keep it secret, well they meet up in like public toilets in London, right. well imagine if that was magic too... !

>>213809486
>you could like sneak to their part at night
Founders were ten steps ahead of you, anon.

>>213805549 (OP)
no sex appeal. even depp was made to look like a freak.

>>213809551
did nobody manage that in the series in the end?

>>213805549 (OP)
1st one alright, rest just become dumbledore homo movies

>>213809551
They only prohibited boys in the girls' dorm. Girls were free to get railed all night with the boys

Because this is even gayer than Harry Potter, nobody watched it except for Tumblrinas

>>213805549 (OP)
WE DON'T CARE IF DUMBLEDORE LIKES TO TAKE IT IN THE ASS

>>213807318
I kinda miss those retarded rumors about celebrities
>Did you know that Paul Pfeiffer from The Wonder Years is Marilyn Manson?
>Did you know Marilyn Manson took out his bottom ribs so he could suck his own cock?
>You know [child singer]? He got raped by his bodyguard.

>>213805549 (OP)
I liked the parts of the movie about the fantastics beasts and where to find them. I didn't care for the rest of the stuff about the obscurial. It felt like two movies being forced into one. I think they should have made two separate movies. Also I really liked the Jacob and Queenie. I heard they destroyed Queenie's character in the second movie so I never watched it.

>They weren't that bad
Yes, they were. Actually, all seven Potter universe movies by Yates suck bug dick.

>>213811274
Except the Richard Gere one is true

The first one was cool if you ignore the Grimdewald bullshit part, I was just interested in the autist wanting to get his fantastic creatures back. The sequels could have had cameos and fan services, Dumbledore appearing in a bar, etc., but they should have focused on adventures leading the autist and his mugle friend to discover creatures around the world, like a legendary dragon in a forest in the Amazon, insects controlling the time in Australia, etc.

I can't remember them at all. That's not good.

>>213812822
Yep, I was the mouse

i watched the first one and i only remember it being very vaginal.

>>213805663
Fantastic beats does have a real life printed version yes but the vast portion of people going to this film knew the books from its repeated mention in the fucking book series as an in universe book.
The author of the book is mentioned in Harry Potter at least once and referred to as something like the greatest wizard beast master guy ever.

The third film was so bad. The first 40 mins are dedicated to summarizing the plot of the previous film, and nothing happens in the plot.

I disagree with the reddit opinion that these films should have been about "fantastic beasts". Thats boring as shit. The problem is that the grindlewald shit was flubbed hard

>>213805549 (OP)
First one was well-liked and had a great muggle character we could all relate with and ended up sacrificing his experience to maintain order. Then the second one came along and casually made that sacrifice barely an inconvenience to get passed. And besides that, the whole thing pretty much sucked. The less said about the third one, the better.

>>213811722
JK absolutely destroys her. After Jacob gets his memories back, Queenie NTRs him and goes off to ride on Grindlewand's wand.

>>213805549 (OP)
Trying to adapt a fictional textbook about magical animals into a series of adventure films was obviously a retarded idea

>>213805716
Doesn't Dumbledore mention Grindelwald in one of the HP movies?

>>213805716
>It was a spinoff, people loved
Nobosy gave a shit about any of these movies, the first one was successful because of brand recognition but it was dogshit which is why the sequel flopped

Well the first fantastic beast was pretty popular, and I remember it being on a similar level of enjoyment as the Potter films.
But the first one was already not about fantastic beasts, like sure Ezra Miller was some kind of beast, being a repressed wizard. Then the second movie was more about Ezra running away to join a circus... And like the Asian women who could become a snake, that's the fantastic beast I guess .. she would become Nagini somehow that's kinda cool, crazy how much pre publication was on exactly that.
Then the 3rd came out and the fantastic beast was mads Mikkelsen as depp was thrown out because of amber herrd.

But everyone would agree they wanted some kind of technical level avatar and Newt being some up close and personal nature filmography or big game Hunter, and instead we got wizard civil rights

>>213805549 (OP)
The first one was fine. It was a self-contained story where all character arcs are resolved. The sequels feel artificial and unnecessary.

>>213814660
I felt the same. I liked the first and had fun watching it. I know I've seen the second one but I can't really remember a thing about it, except there was a graveyard and Nagini.

It failed because it wasn't about Fantastic Beasts. I expected some adventures about a guy who liked magical creatures having fun with them. Instead, we got an autist who was such a charisma void that the Muggle was a more memorable character.

>>213813010
Yeah, it was so weird. She joined Grindelwald because she believed he would make the world change into people accepting Muggle/Wizard relationships. Jacob didn't like that so he left and she still remained with Grindelwald, which feels like she was ready to force him to return via magic. That never made sense.

The first film was close to being good. If they removed all the lore bloat and just focused on the main character and his beasts it would have worked (the magic is always the best part of these films). Instead it gets bogged down in bullshit with Johnny Depp disguising himself so he can groom that kid. Just lame.

>>213812822
Nah, based Sly Stallone spread that one when he got pissy Richard Gere hooked with with divorced Princess Di instead of him.

Dumbledore and his faggotry hijacked what should have been a comfy series. It should have been the crocodile hunter but magical creatures. Instead we got gay butt buddy drama

>>213805549 (OP)
they should have saved the Dumbledore/Grindlewald stuff for another series. Newt took a backseat in his own franchise

Without doxxing yourself now that we caught the DEA

Did you tried buying drugs?

>>213805549 (OP)
I only caught them with half an eye because the woman watched them and it was boring shit, filmed in a very unappealing fashion with ridiculous effects and EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE BIGGER AND MORE SPECTACULAR.
Plus, I just don't like the main dude. There's just something about him I can't stand.
And no, it has nothing to do with the tranny movie.

>>213805716
>But then they decided that spin-off wasn't enough, and they tried to tie it to main Harry Potter canon
Incorrect. The first one wasn't that bad, but it didn't perform like they wanted so they sidelined the more original elements in favor of tie-in elements.

>>213805549 (OP)
The first one was pretty fun, even if the usual Harry Potter world plot holes are difficult to get through. Then they decided to make it about Grindelwald and Dumbledore and the story became a convoluted mess.

>>213805549 (OP)
My favorite part was when Grindlewald was the villain for wanting to prevent the Holocaust.

>>213805549 (OP)
it's super fun and newt is just like me no cap

>>213808663
>have each movie be Newt exploring a different continent and cataloguing their beasts in a pseudo nature documentary style
i felt this too whenever he was casually namedropping early 20th century british dominions he had visited because he's some privileged fella with financial freedom, the journey in encountering the mythical beasts couldve been comfy, the fat dude should accompany him too for the exposition and what not

>>213805716
