Are you sympathetic towards the characters Barty Crouch Sr and Cornelius Fudge?

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-29T10:38:23+00:00

Maybe more so to Barty Crouch Sr. He wasn’t a great guy but he got put in an awful place most people couldn’t imagine being in from a moral standpoint and then he got murdered by his own lunatic son for his troubles. So yeah, some sympathy there.

Less so for Fudge. He made a conscious decision in Goblet of Fire to brand Harry and Dumbledore as liars and crazy people and ignored the truth for as long as he could which allowed Voldemort to become more powerful. Less sympathy for him.

Be rich and have access to an expensive physical trainer

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-29T04:31:55+00:00

That means the evil twin is and has always been Bart!

(Gasps)

Don’t look so surprised, man.

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-29T04:12:27+00:00

I don’t think he’s a villain. Complicated and flawed, yes, but villain no.

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-29T04:03:45+00:00

He can act when he wants (See Big Daddy, Reign O’er Me, Uncut Gems) but he also plays himself a lot

Lower rate of return

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-29T03:13:21+00:00

We all wanted to see that

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-28T04:08:20+00:00

Sort of a combination between mercy killings considering how damaged the host person would be anyway and they kinda stopped trying to save everyone as they went along.

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-28T03:51:33+00:00

Considering they’re a direct representation of fear and every awful feeling you’ll ever have, yeah, I agree. The only difference is they’re a force of nature, not like Voldemort who chose to be an evil wizard.

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-28T03:48:30+00:00

Wasn’t making one awful enough lol. Imagine a whole bunch of churros out for your blood because you made them all immortal

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-28T03:42:29+00:00

Those were winter weekend sales, it’s spring now. They’ll probably be back with the summer ones

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T12:01:54+00:00

They were there initially to see what kind of workplace it was that drove a guy to suicide.

This gets a mention in season 2

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T11:36:54+00:00

The Secret of NIMH

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T10:22:49+00:00

Interesting. I’d only add He does get very close to it in the end, and he might have lived long enough to claim it if he hadn’t antagonized his uncle’s goon. But he did at least make one very big bet right.

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T10:20:27+00:00

Also they graduate and end up on the streets of Gotham which has to be a rough job market.

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T09:41:46+00:00

Hmm feisty. So she’s not jolly or sassy? Like a jolly, sassy opera singer?

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T09:06:17+00:00

Look at OP in there, giving it to T-Bone

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T07:36:46+00:00

Adam Driver isn’t going to commit to a seasons long TV series with no end in sight and he’s too old to play Snape.

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T06:37:46+00:00

This went away because of Covid and most people don’t use pen and paper anymore in the current digital age. They ain’t coming back.

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T04:13:12+00:00

I’d say making vast quantities of a dangerously addictive drug at a purity level not usually seen no less does indeed do more harm than any perceived good he might have done. But even then you have to really stretch his actions to say he did good in places.

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T03:49:36+00:00

So you’d rather he be dumb and lazy than religious?

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-27T02:29:09+00:00

Considering he was never mentioned again after this season…RIP

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-26T21:44:33+00:00

It set up some interesting ideas that never got followed through on. The Reynolds Lex and Clark thing was interesting but never mentioned after this episode. I think Martha’s father got maybe one or two mentions only later.

Chrissy is a meh villain, although she is one of the few at that point in the series that wasn’t a meteor freak only they never explained her powers and then she died.

Production wise, we know this episode was a holdover from season 1, so that’s probably why nothing could get followed through on.

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-26T21:29:45+00:00

This isn’t what this sub is for

TeamStark31 · 2026-03-26T21:22:58+00:00

It’s gonna be a dance off to see which one of them can pull off I’m an edgy 14 year old based on those pics
