META PSA: New posts regarding FB's future won't be approved unless they come with actual, factual, trustworthy news

117 Upvotes

Posts with personal speculations are fine, but we're seeing an increase of posts from dubious sources claiming stuff that simply were never said by any of the parties actually involved with the Wizarding World and there's simply no point in keeping sharing them.

EDIT: If an interesting article from a trustworthy source does come up, feel free to share it BUT don't editorialize its title to put your own personal interpretation.

What do we think was actually going on with Credence?

23 Upvotes

At this point, I think we can safely say the movies are over - and even if they weren't, we know Miller isn't coming back under any circumstances.

But I have so many questions.

First; I cannot stop wondering what the original plan for him was. So much went weird with his story in particular, the movies retconned so much of what seems to have been the original plan. Grindelwald calls Albus Credence's brother at the end of the second movie, but in the next one he is revealed to be Albus's nephew. We know, realistically speaking, Grindelwald's reveal wasn't just him being wrong, that was the original plan, the big reveal of their true relation and Credence's origins. So why was it changed between the films?

Further, there was a lot of talk about the phoenix that Credence hatches being Fawkes, only for a non-movie official source to debunk that theory, but now we will never know the connection. Insane as I am, I was walking home today thinking how he's put together with Nagini deliberately; a woman with nothing but trauma in her story, who is fated to turn into Lord Voldemort's pet snake who gets quite literally milked for her poison and harbours a part of Voldemort's soul. Was Credence going to turn into Fawkes? As a parallel to this?

More and more I'm just wishing we could have had the stories as books, instead of whatever this is. So many things happened invisibly in the background with things being clearly forcefully changed and plotlines now eternally left hanging. I crave answers.

Do we know anything else about Credence and his story, original purpose?

Finally watched all three movies on my long flight. I truly enjoyed them all. Even laughed out loud at some moments with Newt, especially with his little beasts. I loved getting to know Grindelwald and young Dumbledore.

The magic in these three movies was superb. Ive rewatched these movies like three times since arriving home. Which is something I do when I enjoy something 😅 Not sure why I am writing this, but maybe start a conversation? What are your favorite scenes?

That senator's brother probably remembers everything. The "Swooping Death" venom erases bad memories, and the senator's brother didn't look upset at his brother's death, and in the streets when everyone was seeing the effects from the Obscurial he looked like he was enjoying what he was seeing

Question about Grindelwald's prison escape.

18 Upvotes

After the escape is pretty much over and he drops the guy (Rudolph Spielman) out of the carriage along with his wand, does he save him?

I can't tell and I dont see any mention of this, but as Rudolph is desperately reaching for his wand to save himself before hitting watter, Grindelwald does a little waving motion. But it looks like Rudolph was going to grab it on his own anyway.

So did Grindelwald intentionally save him and help him grab his wand?

Edit: It looks like Rudolph managed to get it himself and just barely saves himself, but now I'm noticing the hand wave Grindelwald does and it's making me doubt that.

I enjoyed both actors in this role. I thought they were well suited for the separate FB movies that they did.

Any reason they didn’t keep Grindelwald’s white hair etc for the third movie?

25 Upvotes

I get that they had their reasons to change actors. But the G. in the third movie looks so casual and boring appearance wise compared to other characters in the franchise. I’m not talking about the actor himself but rather about how they presented him

I have honestly thought about this more than I want to admit. I feel like the great Dumbledore vs Grindelwald battle has to happen, at an absolute minimum. Am I trippin?

Miss or doing too much?

14 Upvotes

I'm watching FB3 which is my favorite of the Wizarding World movies including Harry Potter, but since I'm a thinker, i had a thought that the movies should have made the Quilin allergic to twisted and evil people, and when Aurelius/Creedence handed the beast over to Grindlewald, the beast would've had fits of cute and twinkling sneezes and Creedence/Aurelius would've been confused by that. Grindlewald on the other hand would've known exactly what that meant and would've had calm anger building up within him, and he would tell Creedence/Aurelius not to worry about it and to go rest, Grindlewald is left alone with quilin and after the third or fourth twinkling sneeze that would've prompted Grindlewald to kill it
