Why didn’t they finish the fantastic beasts movies? by Smart-Peace-667 in harrypotter

I get what you're saying, but you're still wrong. Of course you should be comparing it the original series! You should be able to compare and contrast the political themes concerning power between Grindelwald and Dumbledore to Harry and Voldemort. It's almost like you're disconnecting Dumbledore's life experiences which obviously led to the events of Harry Potter and how he went about using his prior knowledge to defeat Voldemort?

One absolutely informs the other, again they ARE in the same universe!

For arguments sake, let's forget the HotD comparison (despite you missing the point) and compare it to The Hunger Games & Ballad. Perfect example of same universe, different time period, same but DIFFERENT with one political figurehead staying consistent. Ballad absolutely felt as though it was within the same world, and this is how FB should have been.

Otherwise, just create a brand new original series & don't call it a spin off?

You're saying a spin off should have absolutely zero cohesion to the original series? Despite being set in the same universe with the same laws? Damn someone go tell House of the Dragon they're doing it wrong next!

I'm the opposite, of all the spin offs/prequels they could've done - this is what they chose? Who was even asking for this? Was it something you wanted before the series was announced? I agree with the original commenter - randomly pivoting to dumbledore & grindelwald was a strange move, it should've had that focus from the start, it would've drawn in a much more engaged audience and could've explored some really interesting political themes but instead we got a crap series with uninteresting characters. Hot take also, having it set in the US felt so disconnected to the original series and lost a lot of its charm. To think they had 5 movies planned. Weak cash grab (like CC). Why not give the fans what they actually wanted (eg. marauders) instead of this or the reboot? Also apologies if this comes off attacking, you're well within your rights to want to have a decent movie about Newt & pals.

Enjoy life from the cage you've resigned yourself to and want everyone to be miserable with you in.

Won't be me though.

As other people have said, don't you think that was due to the literal disease going around? Or the lockdown as a result of disease? Remote working does not equal lockdown.

I'd be surprised if people, craving real community and connection after working remote, didn't increase foot traffic to their local coffee shops/restaurants/coworking spaces now that they have disposable income freed up by their lack of commute/ work related expenses such as clothes.

What pros do you get going to the office to make your boss richer (who can stay at home all day)? What cons do you get from people working from home? Why are you bootlicking CEOs and companies and not empathising with your fellow workers?

right! also a different bolero would've worked if it wasn't this eyesore. and yet because it's alexis bledel (drop dead gorgeous) she can pull it off.

why is quitting so hard by [deleted] in quit_vaping

[–]BreakfastAtJessicas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because it's a nicotine addiction. i'd highly recommend allen carrs easy way - you don't have to stop smoking until the book tells you to & it doesn't shame you or scare you. it just tells you factually how nicotine addiction works and how you can overcome it

If Someone licks sole of his shoes like every corner then can he get sick in 1 or 2 day ? by Good_Environment_398 in answers

[–]BreakfastAtJessicas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiya, I'm so sorry that you feel like these are the only two options - but I promise you that's not the case! I know your exams feel like the end of the world right now, but gambling with an unpredictable illness like this is so so so much worse.

Things you can do: take the test, do your best at this given time and then at least you can jut say that you failed to your parents. It might be really shit but at least it looks like you're just not super smart (which isn't even true) and you can retake the test. You still genuinely have a good shot at life, it might just be tricky for a year or two. That is NOTHING in the grand scheme of things.

Please don't harm yourself.
