I cannot legally confirm or deny that this is an attempt to start a struggle session, just pointing out that praxis worked uwu
The movie isn't bombing because of a boycott it's bombing because it fucking sucks LMAO.
Doubt that potterheads that were cool with racist Chinese names and justifications for slavery are now suddenly ready to stop watching wandshit because jowling let her mask slip.
Even if its not true I will continue to blame it on Rowling purely for propaganda reasons. :trans-specter:
The Prequels were still super successful. JK Rowling has managed to do something Lucas never did, which is completely alienate enough people to make a real flop in a previously solid gold franchise. I don't know of her terf stuff had any real effect, but these movies are doing so much worse than the prequels did.
Ok, but don't forget what Mao said: "handwringing over media consumption--this is a twelfth type of liberalism."
They aren't actually planning that. They might, but they haven't asked for any work to be done on the 4th, so if this does badly enough it'll probably be the last.
i remember watching the first one, it was a fun all-ages romp about wacky hijinks with whimsical magic animals causing mayhem and then also there was an eeeeevil bad guy that had to be stopped before he enacted his plan to prevent the holocaust
The year is 2026. The 5th and final Fantastic Beasts movie is about to release. JK Rowling is being boycotted by libs on Twitter for doing Holocaust denial, but Elon Musk refuses to ban her from his platform. Grindelwald is still the bad guy, but specifically because he wants to stop the Holocaust. Hexbear has no comment because the site was seized following [redacted]
Someone just accidentally deleted the log in info and nobody could log in.
This has been such a dogbrained attempt at a spinoff franchise from the word go. I cannot wrap my head around why they named it Fantastic Beasts and centered it around the zookeeper guy in the first place when they clearly wanted to just have it be about fighting the previous evil wizard dude.
I have to assume it was some bizarre insistence on the WB suits' part that the new movies would have to be based on whatever else already-existing published Harry Potter material was around. (Fantastic Beasts and some other in-universe book about the main wizard sport were published as small lore pamphlets in the early 2000s, I remember because I had them growing up)
I don't know what happens in the third movie but it was absolutely hilarious how JK Rowling completely walked back the stuff she
revealedmade up after the fact about Dumbledore having been totally gay all along and his relationship with Grindelwald when she actually had the chance to go back to elaborate on said charactersThat first movie wasn't exactly a self-contained one and done deal either. The whole Fantastic Beasts aspect was ultimately entirely secondary to the broader plot about Johnny Depp wanting the wizard orphan for some nefarious world-dominating reasons
I assumed the last HP entry was the theater play several years back.
The last hp entry was when Daniel Radcliffe did Equus and had to hang dong on stage.
Shit, I thought the only time he hung dong was for Guns Akimbo. Extremely funny that this is just something he has done several times.
Daniel Radcliffe is down for whatever. I'm seeing Swiss Army Man soon, and he plays a farting corpse in thet.
Even funnier, if I remember right, he did that while Harry Potter was still being produced.

:pete:
Fantastic Beasts is awful and no-one is watching it.
I've been boycotting this series for years without any effort. Childhood me is vindicated for not going on the HP train.
The first one wasn't awful and the second was among the worst movies I've ever seen. Like I would rewatch it just to riff it. Absolute shit tier writing.
And then the allegations about Depp and Heard has presumably affected the entrails reading the MBAs do to determine how to make a movie.
I’m doing my part by pirating everything, basically maximum praxis this side of :vote: :rat-salute:
