I argued here that the whole HP shit was worth it because it was going to imprint in the consciousness and brew beneath the surface. Libs see it as tainted and that shit isn't going away. There are real moral concerns bothering them deep down.

The long term effect is good.

I want them to keep going because they're so fucking bad

I need to see how they follow up on "we voted Wizard Hitler out of power in the marketplace of ideas!" because there's no way to actually do that without acknowledging that that doesn't fucking work, which is anathema to lib worldview

Rowling would absolutely make a magic creature that magically votes Grindelwald out of the power to use magic or some similar thing. And then they prosecute him with his anti-muggle laws to show bigotry is bad. I want to see how bad the Credence plotline gets, why is he still here? Why is he a character that doesn't act? Free my boy from this series by having him do a sacrifice or something.

This is quite literally the plot of Fantastic Beasts 3

The election for Wizard President is decided by a qilin - a cute deer looking creature that can see the True Heart of a wizard and is used to decide on which of the candidates is the best leader because of how pure of heart they are

So Grindelwald captures a qilin, kills it, revives it through dark magic, and replaces the real voting machine with his rigged one to declare himself the winner, until the heroes show up with the real voting machine which declares someone else the winner so Grindelwald gets mad and just accepts the results and leaves

We know at some point later he duels Dumbledore and dies there but that's it, as of right now he got voted out of power

I hate that I know this since I haven't even bothered with the second or third fantastic beast movie....but: actually he doesn't die there. He dies like 50 years later in a prison cell by Voldemort's hand after revealing Dumbledore had possession of the elder wand.

God I hate that I used to be into this series...even if the politics hadn't aged so poorly the whole series just gets worse year after year in terms of storytelling.

Oh fuck that does mean that if they do another movie it'll just be a lot of "mr grindelwald your fired sir" before he's imprisoned or some shit

God I hate this series so much
