We need to be in charge so we can live freely. And then we can show them what it's like to be second-class."

I feel like this take is looking into the character motivations from a real world outsider pov, not based on what they know. They don’t know WW2 will happen they don’t know it exists on such a scale. We, the audience do, because we are watching a movie set in the past dripping in metaphors. The movie even has Jacob as someone who was in WW1 and thinks “not again”. He’s a human who doesn’t want to see another war after just finally getting a life together and business ect. Plus, the whole point of the heroes pov (& especially Dumbledore) is knowing Grindlewald lies and manipulates. So based on their intel and experiences, they are trying to stop wizard Hitler. They aren’t in any way supporting the actual in story nazis or ww2 happening. Their immediate problem is this wizard supremacist who wants to enslave muggles.

This exact same thing happened in The Inhumans Marvel show. The plot is that when people become an adult they're put into this science machine and their secret power is unlocked. If they get a cool, sexy power like super strength, fairy wings or whatever then they get to live in luxary and the upper class. But if they get a kind of lame power like projector eyes or rock hands, then they're sent back to live in the mines and work forever and ever in crappy conditions. The "good guys" are the king and queen and their closest allies, who oversee and enforce this almost nazi-like status quo. The "bad guy" is the brother of the king who doesn't have any super powers but is part of the royal family so he gets a pass. And he's the only character who looks at this situation and is like "hey, this is kind of messed up actually." And he's 100% right. So they do the same thing they do with Grindelwald and add in scenes of him just being super evil out of nowhere, but they honestly half arse it. Like the worst thing he does is flirt with his brothers wife and be a bit of a creep. So we're meant to be like "oh well he's a bit misogynistic so I guess I can't be on his side".

@alexpaul9678Ай бұрын
Grindlewald’s ability to see the future just struck me as so weird by HP standards. I’ve only seen the first fantastic beasts movie but heard of this plot point when the second came out (and gee, I never made it to the theater, I wonder why /s) In HP we know that even wizards who claim to see the future are kind of considered quacks through the character’s attitudes toward Professor Trelawny. In fact it is confirmed that her divination class is mostly useless and that Dumbledore placed her at Hogwarts because she had one prophecy 10 years ago that *she can’t remember*. Idk vaping your way into the future seems sus. It also makes me think about how the wizards’ ability to stop ww2 was never a question before this movie. In HP, the wizard population appears vanishingly small. There are only 40 kids in Harry’s year that attend a school meant to support all of Great Britain. If we allow for a few outliers that don’t attend Hogwarts, that still amounts to less than fifty wizards being born each year in the UK. Extrapolated worldwide, it’s still a tiny population. HP magic can do great things, but it’s still pretty limited to individual use, I just don’t see how stopping stopping ww2 could even be possible, even if Grindlewald could predict it in the first place. Sorry, I just woke up and this video popped up on my home page - apparently I had a lot to say about an old movie I will never see 😅
@HenryintheChairАй бұрын
No need to apologise, you made some cracking points. It is very strange that they undercut the already established funny sort of pseudoscience of seeing the future with a 100% guaranteed, not up for interpretation vision of the future. But I suppose it made it easy to write a bad movie around. I think wizards probably could stop WW2 before it happened. All it’d take is a little bit of invisibility here, a little bit of mind control there and it’s all called off, and thanks to the aforementioned 100% correct future seeing powers they’d know exactly who to target. And if it did escalate to violence, old Grindelwald could probably do all the fighting on his own. He’s a one man army. He nearly destroys the whole of Paris in this movie and he isn’t even really trying to.
@AndrewRisitano14 күн бұрын
So I think what the deal is with the seeing the future, it's like the force, sure the good wizards could do the Parkside vape and see the future right away but that's the quick and easy path. Being good wizards/jedi they have to go the more difficult path. I mean it's not an actual explanation of this situation, but it's an archetype of a journey that perhaps applies too much logic and puts too much faith in the writing of this movie.

Thing is and I dont remember this being in the movie but just stopping WW2 from happening doesnt mean humanity wouldn't something similar or maybe even worse. Think about the cold war. Maybe if WW2 hadn't happened russia and the USA would have escalated the cold war into an actual war. I think despite the horrific things that happened during the war humanity had to find out how much they could destroy and fuck up.

i remember when i read the books that when ron and harry try to explain why they flew the car instead that one of the teachers said they should have waited at the platform as if this is an obvious standard protocol but this always confused me as like- what did you expect these kids to do. Harry has had it stressed to him that the train leaves at exactly 11 oclock and would 100percent not want to miss going to hogwarts and is probably freaking out that hes going to miss out for the entire year and be subjected to the dursleys the entire time and ron is worried about his family too. Like we are talking about 12 year olds in a situation that is unprecidented- or if it has happened before exceedingly rare with no protocol told to the average student. It always just felt a bit too harsh on these kids who are clearly stressed out and honestly they are lucky they wanted to go to school enough to pull such a stunt- some kids would have probably tried to wag.

also the fact queenie sides with grindlewald either makes her the dumbest human being ever because she can read minds and should be able to tell that grindelwald is evil and lying- or that he legitimately believes what he is saying and legitimately doesnt mean to just massacre muggles etc. It's always been a weird choice for me that queenie switches side especially when she has access to extra information compared to literally everyone else. I know she does apparently struggle to read british peoples minds but i feel like she would have been focused enough on what he was saying and thinking that wouldnt be an issue.

In fact it is confirmed that her divination class is mostly useless and that Dumbledore placed her at Hogwarts because she had one prophecy 10 years ago that *she can’t remember*. Idk vaping your way into the future seems sus. It also makes me think about how the wizards’ ability to stop ww2 was never a question before this movie. In HP, the wizard population appears vanishingly small. There are only 40 kids in Harry’s year that attend a school meant to support all of Great Britain. If we allow for a few outliers that don’t attend Hogwarts, that still amounts to less than fifty wizards being born each year in the UK. Extrapolated worldwide, it’s still a tiny population. HP magic can do great things, but it’s still pretty limited to individual use, I just don’t see how stopping stopping ww2 could even be possible, even if Grindlewald could predict it in the first place. Sorry, I just woke up and this video popped up on my home page - apparently I had a lot to say about an old movie I will never see 😅
No need to apologise, you made some cracking points. It is very strange that they undercut the already established funny sort of pseudoscience of seeing the future with a 100% guaranteed, not up for interpretation vision of the future. But I suppose it made it easy to write a bad movie around. I think wizards probably could stop WW2 before it happened. All it’d take is a little bit of invisibility here, a little bit of mind control there and it’s all called off, and thanks to the aforementioned 100% correct future seeing powers they’d know exactly who to target. And if it did escalate to violence, old Grindelwald could probably do all the fighting on his own. He’s a one man army. He nearly destroys the whole of Paris in this movie and he isn’t even really trying to.
So I think what the deal is with the seeing the future, it's like the force, sure the good wizards could do the Parkside vape and see the future right away but that's the quick and easy path. Being good wizards/jedi they have to go the more difficult path. I mean it's not an actual explanation of this situation, but it's an archetype of a journey that perhaps applies too much logic and puts too much faith in the writing of this movie.
I interesting concept I wonder if people that have had superior control imposed against them because of who they are would feel the same, seems rich coming from someone who has the time to make their own videos
So, if you were chilling in 1937 and you knew for a fact World War 2 and its associated atrocities were about to happen, you’d be cool with it? Brutal.
Pretty sure JK just thinks WW2 was a net positive.
Thing is and I dont remember this being in the movie but just stopping WW2 from happening doesnt mean humanity wouldn't something similar or maybe even worse. Think about the cold war. Maybe if WW2 hadn't happened russia and the USA would have escalated the cold war into an actual war. I think despite the horrific things that happened during the war humanity had to find out how much they could destroy and fuck up. Nice video btw I normally dont watch videos with under 1000 views in fear of bad quality but your editing, sound quality and way of speaking is very good and definitely worth a watch
Thanks a lot for the kind words. 😁 Very good points and totally agree that WW2 happening probably stopped some other terrible things happening down the line, though having wizards stop WW2 and then in charge might also stop those future terrible things.
Sounds like you're saying you wouldn't stop Hitler given the chance because of a thought exercise with no evidence lol
@@erichmyles4481 ^ This is your brain on woke
But, in universe, the heroes chose not to do anything to help save people from WW2. They have literal magic, even if they don't completely stop the war, they could've saved some of the innocent people who were tortured and murdered.
Amen.
Just found your channel, absolutely love it! Keep doing what you’re doing
Thanks very much buddy 😁
You don't seem to realize that the primary evil of WW2 was the centralization of power by authoritarian regimes around the globe. t There were no good guys; powerful or weak, winners or losers, continents or countries. All bad. There is no righteous dictator.
Not sure I agree about what you say the primary evil is, as far more direct and horrifying things happened than just a generalisation about a trend in global politics, but even if that was the primary evil, it is just another thing that wouldn’t happen if they heroes let the villain win in this movie.
i remember when i read the books that when ron and harry try to explain why they flew the car instead that one of the teachers said they should have waited at the platform as if this is an obvious standard protocol but this always confused me as like- what did you expect these kids to do. Harry has had it stressed to him that the train leaves at exactly 11 oclock and would 100percent not want to miss going to hogwarts and is probably freaking out that hes going to miss out for the entire year and be subjected to the dursleys the entire time and ron is worried about his family too. Like we are talking about 12 year olds in a situation that is unprecidented- or if it has happened before exceedingly rare with no protocol told to the average student. It always just felt a bit too harsh on these kids who are clearly stressed out and honestly they are lucky they wanted to go to school enough to pull such a stunt- some kids would have probably tried to wag.
Very true, very true. I also kinda want to know how all the parents got back from the platform. Surly that’d be in the news if all the parents were trapped in the platform for a period of time.
@@HenryintheChair true, like i imagine the malfoys and families like that would evacuate asap
also the fact queenie sides with grindlewald either makes her the dumbest human being ever because she can read minds and should be able to tell that grindelwald is evil and lying- or that he legitimately believes what he is saying and legitimately doesnt mean to just massacre muggles etc. It's always been a weird choice for me that queenie switches side especially when she has access to extra information compared to literally everyone else. I know she does apparently struggle to read british peoples minds but i feel like she would have been focused enough on what he was saying and thinking that wouldnt be an issue. So this adds another potential layer to the idea that grindelwald is just right here.
An amazing point!
Excellent. That's literally what I felt too.
Cheers buddy 😁
It's not Dumbledore that made those mistakes. It's JK Rowling that did. That woman can't write proper systems.
I mean in a world where some snakes face man wants to kill everyone self defence lessons seem pretty important?
They do have Defence Against the Dark Arts for that, this is an extracurricular to prep the students just in case they come across a giant monster snake. Though I suppose both are moot because they’re run by a guy who can’t do magic properly.
At some point in the books i believe that the students have to ve accompanied everywhere by a teacher. But i can't remember when those rules are put in place.
It’s after the 4th attack. A bit too little, a bit too late I’d say.
This but for every single movie, because my god Goblet of Fire, anyone? If Dumbledore was a competent headmaster in any way and not so busy breeding child soldiers (from at least the marauders days) there would be no story!
"Gilderoy lockhart is explained too. Hagrid explains that he was the only one too apply
🤔 Could he maybe have forced someone to do it? Wait- no- couldn’t he have just taught it himself?
@@HenryintheChairThe position was cursed. Literally. Had he taught it he'd have been unable to stay at the school. Not that that means Lockhart was the right choice. But Dumbledore says later on finding DADA teachers is very difficult.
He does ask... In the books. They explain that they couldn't gwt through the get. Where McGonagall is like: "you could have written us. You have an owl"
You’re not wrong. They tell him about the barrier, and he still does nothing about it. Which feels like a worse response than not asking about it at all like in the movie.
The best harry potter video essay ever!
Cheers buddy 😁
As a masive Harry Potter fan and teacher, this is the best video I've seen in a while. I'm sending it to the Head Teacher of my school as CPD.
Thanks a lot mate. 😂 As long the Head of your school, does literally anything when anything happens, they're in far better shape than old Fumbly Dumbly over here.
How was the chamber of secrets still a thing till Harry's second year? Dumbledore literally knew all the facts the golden trio collected during their year, including the identity of the girl that was killed in the bathroom 50 years ago!
Maybe Dumbledore was bored, and was like imma keep this place around just in case something fun happens down the line.
@@rashigupta986 Nobody could find it, you had to be a parselmouth.
@@ericklingenberg4868 you couldn't enter it. You don't need to be a parselmouth to find the snake engraving on the side of a tap.
I just want to remind everyone that Harry Potter is a slave owner (creature). Thanks, have a nice day.
