Re: Fantastic Beasts Discussion

The whole subplot with Queenie was really stupid, on every possible level. Her actions make no sense from a Doylist or Watsonian perspective.
Also the HP!verse really needs to make up its mind about whether mind-controlling people into loving you is fucked up or nah [spoiler alert: yes it fucking is].

I've seen detailed explanations about how she was desperate, made vulnerable, and fell prey to manipulations, and some were lamost convincing, but I'm still mad as hell they went this way--whether it makes sense or not I wish it hadn't happened at all!

I'll defend the movie just a bit by pointing out that Jacob always loved Queenie, it was the engaged part that was an enchantment. Still sketchy, though, especially with the emphasis on Leta being the product of rape.

I think I would have bought the Queenie subplot with more time. If Grindlewald had helped Jacob in some way, for instance. Because unfortunately certain political events have taught me that good people CAN be swayed towards horrible ideas without even realizing what's happened. However, it takes more than just one conversation.

AYRT - That Jacob loved Queenie and wanted to be with her made the mindfuckery even WORSE, for me! Instead of being good ol' "Oh woe, He Loves Me Not, Imma do something morally reprehensible", it was "This man loves and trusts me but disagrees about an aspect of our relationship, so instead of having a difficult conversation about this and respecting his choices even if they're dumb, Imma do something morally reprehensible". Obviously YMMV, but I *hate* that.
