This.This is movies vs movies, so Infinity Saga. Without question.
HP Books? That's more difficult.
I understand leaving out story bits from a movie perspective, but I'm still salty. They just failed to make the story at least "clear" with all that extra "run-time" they fought for. If you watched the films, you still really have no idea what this all was about. I had thought Part 1 would explain the story and lead into Part 2, like giving more back history to the Guants and why Voldermort turned out the way he was (as one example). But nah, not important. I'm not going to go into a listing, there's plenty of sites that do it for me. Ultimately I just think they failed to establish how Harry and Voldermort were two sides of the same coin, but obviously took different paths.I'm not a gigantic fan of Yates but I don't remember him fucking up Deathly Hallows that much. What did they change?
Only HP movies I don't really like at all are Order of the Phoenix (omitted wayyyyy too much good stuff from the books and the stuff it added wasn't good) and Fantastic Beasts 2.
Idk why everyone hates the 4th Harry Potter movie. I definitely think it's one of the better ones. The tournament style lends itself well to a movie as there's a lot of neat set pieces (hell theres even one before you get to Hogwarts with the Quidditch world cup aftermath) and the ending with Pattinson and Voldemort is just fantastic.
? They're just backup savesIt's Endgame for many many reasons, not least of which is that, to this day, I don't think there's a clear consensus on what was even the point of the deathly hallows
But didn't Harry survive the killing curse because the horcrux part of him is what got killed rather than like his actual self?
Harry Potter Books > Infinity Saga >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Harry Potter movies
Don't get me started on the travesty that is the final battle in DH Part 2. Just utter nonsense and totally misunderstood what happened in the books. Probably my #1 most disappointing movie moment.
Harry was saved by his mothers sacrifice. The Horcrux thing is even messier, and honestly at that point the books really stopped making much sense. Basically a part of Voldemorts soul "got stuck" inside Harry, which required him to be "kinda killed" (but not really), to destroy the last Horcrux. Honestly, having Harry turn into Voldemort 2.0 and leaving it as a sequel hook would have been a lot better than the boring thing Rowling ended up doing.But didn't Harry survive the killing curse because the horcrux part of him is what got killed rather than like his actual self?
Right see this is exactly what I mean. The text supports like at least 3 different interpretations for why the climax of the whole story of Harry Potter played out the way it did. It's that messiness that I think takes away from the satisfyingness of the conclusionHarry was saved by his mothers sacrifice. The Horcrux thing is even messier, and honestly at that point the books really stopped making much sense.

Finale in the HP Books > Infinity Saga > Finale in the HP Movies

Cursed Child? What is that? Never heard of it.
Despite the killing curse being the big one, getting murdered with magic is really inconsistent in the films. Also i guess him hitting the ground with a thud isn't nearly as climactic as getting dusted.Huh it's been a while since I've seen DH pt. 2 but that would annoy me lol, Rowling even highlighted how he just kinda limped to the ground with a thud. Him disappearing makes it harder to bring closure if anything. Why would he evaporate? All of his tricks are gone
Nah the books end with Harry and Draco's kids going back in time and accidentally fucking up history then they all have to go stop Voldemort's kid from stopping Voldemort from killing Harry's parents.it's Harry Potter for me BUT i was really disappointed with the ending in the movies.
in the movies:
harry + voldemort go running around the castle hitting spells at each other, harry pretends he is going to give voldemort a hug then pulls him off the side of the castle, they go for a nice little flight around the castle. they land in the courtyard, are on their knees, and both their wands connect so they both try push their spell towards the other.
harry then overpowers voldemort who then just turns into bits of snake skin that disappear into thin air. his body is completely gone and everyone has to take harry's word for it.
in the books:
after harry is revealed to be still alive everyone starts fighting and everyone gets pushed into the great hall. eventually harry + voldemort confront each other. everyone else is standing around them watching.
both harry/voldemort circle each other while harry explains how voldemort has failed and that he can't win. he calls by his real name Tom and gives him a chance to feel some remorse but of course voldemort refuses and goes to kill harry who then disarms him. voldemorts wand comes flying towards harry and the killing curse strikes voldemort dead. everyone in the hall witnesses his death and his body doesn't disappear. his body is put in a room away from all the other dead bodies.
voldemort was afraid of dying and that's why he wanted to become immortal. having him die like any other human is such an important point. also having his followers witness the death means they wouldn't say oh he'll come back. he died like a human and was probably buried or cremated. i'd absolutely love it if he was buried in the same grave as his father who he hated.
I don't know why it pisses me off so much because I'm not really the biggest Harry Potter fan in general, but it still just bugs the hell out of me.
The Dark Knight Trilogy.
Greatest ending to a oomic book universe ever.
Isn't the explosion really far away and above water? I assumed fallout would be minimal.You mean the ending where one of the richest people in the world isn't recognized by everyone immediately? It's like if Bill Gages tried to hide in plain sight at a cafe.
Or do you mean earlier in the movie, where Batman outruns a nuclear explosion and no one in Gotham is killed by fallout from an explosion right next to the city?
DKR sucked and the ending sucked.

Why would Batman have died? He isn't on the plane when the bomb detonates.It's supposed to be far away, but in that case Batman would have died(which probably would have been a better ending anyway). The whole movie was silly, really.
