Fantastic Beasts Script Doctor

Before you ask I'm a gryffindor, wampus, birch wand and my patronus is a big fat whale.

"What does it mean? I don't know because there's no real connection but one character was related to another character whose name you've heard before...and that means that's a twist." This has aged very very well.

Jenny please don't freak out but there is like the biggest spider on the thing behind you

[Vahktang]

I really wanted the scene at the end of the movie to be more like this:
Grindelward: You think you can hold me?
President: It's 1926 and this is America. We execute criminals.
Grindelward: Wait, what?

[punkrockzoologist]

I really wish they'd had an angle that focused more on Newt's being a Zoologist. Like the villains were magical creature poachers or something, and then they can be revealed at the end to be in league with Grindelwald for... reasons.

[TheMusicMan]

I really want her to just review everything... like cereal brands to vacation spots

[caeruleas]

"Voldemort Resurrection Cemetery Taco Truck Pavilion."
Very yes.

[LoonyScamander]

"And there was that whole year where Mad-Eye Moody was trapped in a trunk. Probably not even the saddest year of Mad-Eye Moody's life."

[sanskritigupta]

“I think the sequels could be really fun” She doesn’t know what she has coming

[bcoleman]

"Oh, no! We can't erase all these muggles' memory. There's, like, a thousand of them, and, like, a hundred of us, and I'm tired, and we're just all gonna die."

[MCrpy]

I agree, Grindelwald should keep changing identities, but ultimately (after 6 changes) he lands on Kevin Bacon, because every actor can be related to Kevin Bacon. And during the movie, to get information out of someone, he should force them to dance against their wishes. _ivivos saltandi_

[celebrimborblue]

We could've had Colin Farrell and Jude Law tension.. aaah T.T

[Trazynn]

Her hair has more character progression than the movie.

[lordpokesmoke]

It’s interesting how the public perception of Johnny Depp, Ezra Miller, and JK Rowling have changed so much since this video was made.

[oldthinkertube]

Michael Bay has turned us all into old ladies.

[soap]

just got here but your coney island idea is fucking genius. imagine how much fun it would be to watch. and all the vintage theme-park merch possibilities!!

[jjj]

17:55 This makes the ending of the movie 10x funnier because in the final shot with the bird, it is flying east into the Atlantic, so the only conclusion is that after being let loose into New York, the bird confusedly flew into the ocean and died.

There's an easy way to nearly fix the creatures looking fake. Do what I call "The Jurassic Park Trick."

Jurassic Park has a lot of cg creatures but you buy it because they will do close shots of the dinos and use a puppet or animatronic, then show the cgi dino.

The practical effect doesn't need to be of the full creature or even have much articulation, since it will be a tight shot that only shows part of the creature. This establishes the creature as a psyichal object that actually exists in the scene, so that you view the cgi creature as being that real object.

This is part of why Jurassic World looks fake, they don't setup the dino with a practical effect, it's just all cgi.

[TJ]

Agreed on the beasts looking too CGI. Prisoner of Azkaban came out over 10 years ago (wow, I feel old) and Buckbeak looked and felt way more lifelike than any of the creatures in this movie. Not to mention he had more personality. The jewel theif platapus was the only one that was remotely memorable.

About Eddie being good in everything though - I'm guessing you didn't see Jupiter Ascending lol. It was definitely a case of an actor trying really hard in a really stupid movie. But that's what made it so bad.

[ryleysiscoe]

This is making me a fan of deadpan humour.

[Gog_NMagog]

You're comedic timing is astonishing.
