I know Crimes of Grindelwald made some misteps, ones fans rightly criticize such as the exposition dumps and pacing, and ones we have yet to see are true mistakes, as I don't believe JK would introduce Mcgonogall without knowing her birth date, and believe there's more to it such as possible time turner shenanigans.
I know it's the cool things to shit on Rowling but she's still an accomplished author with her latest novel gaining critical praise. Its clear she needs to up her screen play game though and pace things out better, as CoG had the makings of a good story, yet felt rushed. And I hope she's learning for FB3.
Anyway, the main reason I'm hoping the franchise succeeds is Newt himself. He's a different hero than the current ones in hollywood, one perhaps more relatable. I love Marvel movies as much as the next guy, but not every hero needs to be a witty buff guy.
I see Newt as autistic in a way, shown by his mannerisms, social anxiety and awareness and his love for animals make him such a charming character. His and Tinas romance is cute, awkward and feels real. His friendship with Jacob is touching and they compliment each other, having the the things the other doesn't.
I know people see FB as nothing more than a cash grab, but JK wanted it doing right ensuring Warner Bros knew about Newt and his history. He's one of my favourite characters in recent times, nd believe the strong cast of supporting characters can really flourish if given the appropriate pacing. Plus the beasts themselves are awesome, well designed, and have a ton of personality.
I believe if the series just focuses on the already established characters and put more emphasis on Newt and his beasts it will be something great.
