unpopural opinion: the blood pact scene should've been a flash back than dumbledore looking intro a mirror

[dumbledore-and-grindelwald]

Yes and no.

No because Dumbledore watching it in the mirror implies that he desires the most the very same thing he's trying to break. It's a beautiful concept.

Yes because it would have probably been longer if it was a flashback.

Dumbledore’s Farewell

[dumbledore-and-grindelwald]

With all the disappointment of not getting more of this story and struggling witn my mental health, I’ve kept away, but I can’t help commenting on this. 

It’s no wonder that we had to do mental gymnastics and meta the hell out of the character arcs. This should have never been such a short movie and to be honest it barely cut it as a single movie. It should have been either a series or a novel. It’s a pity because the cast is so good! They managed to convey so much within the chopy through their expressions and physicality within the mess that was delivered.

Mind you, TSoD is a movie I’ll be watching again and again and I’m fond of it. But it’s like bullet-points of a story; not a fully fleshed-out one. 

Like, one of the biggest criticisms you’ll remember me having, other than the fact that the character arcs felt interesting but without us getting a sense of how we go from point A to point B and the development being rushed, is that Grindelwald’s side was underdeveloped and his followers felt like cardboard. Then we get this! 40% of Gellert’s lines cut, Helmut (who had potential) being butchered, possibly more development for his other followers. This could have been a nuanced magical political thriller in the best way possible with a love story on top.

So, Zaslav said this: “We’re going to have a real focus on franchises. We haven’t had a Superman movie in 13 years and we haven’t had a Harry Potter movie in 15 years.”

Warner Bros is clearly obsessed with profit, not acknowledging anything tha doesn’t give them the numbers of the golden days.He seems to be interested in Harry Potter; not Fantastic Beasts.

There were no updates on the franchise.

When I watch interviews or any other SoD video, I get the impression that Jude is not happy that Johnny has been changed to Mads, or that he doesn't like Mads in general. During the premiere, I do not know if they took at least one photo together. What do you think?

While they didn't take photos together, I find this to be a stretch to say the least.

The promotion of this movie was scarce, so we got few interviews etc. Nevertheless, in everything we saw, Jude seemed very positive about Mads being cast and was really appreciative of the way he workd. Not to mention he hadn't worked at all with Johnny, so there wasn't even an issue of Jude having been used to an actor and feeling off about recreating an already established chemistry with a different person.

Overall I feel this is just speculation without precedent.

I lost my sister 4 years ago, she was like my Ariana. Knowing that Dumbledore accepted his sister's death, even if it broke his heart forever, is inspiring to me. Imagining my sister saying farewell during my nightmares scares me, like a boggart. Even if he's a fictional character, I recognize myself in Dumbledore's history. His wisdom and his philosophy helped me to move on, to continue my life. He's really an inspiring character!

I'm so sorry about your sister! I cannot imagine how that kind of loss feels like. I hope you're finding your way to cope!

I'm glad he resonates with you and help you in this way in such a hard time! This is part of what I enjoy about this character. He encompasses so much raw emotions experienced through awful situations (guilt, grief, self-hatred etc.) but he also ends up being such a functional man, tries to help his society and always cares for what other people are going through. At the same time he is flawed in his way.

Without him being perfect, he is caring and strong in a profound way that is admirable.

Richard Coyle responded on twitter to the person spreading the rumor of the series being confirmed.

He said that maybe a discussion he had at stage door gave the person the information originated from the wrong idea, but he confirmed nothing about a series happening, but still has his fingers crossed for more Fantastic Beasts.

Are you still on hiatus or you coming back any time soon ?

I wouldn't call it a hiatus as much as being depressed af and struggling in a way I haven't in some time.

This was a good nudge and I promise I'll start by answering my neglected asks one by one and try to be more active.
