Retconned Harry Potter's Only Unique Spell Fantastic Beasts

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore's ending retroactively ruins the one spell that made Harry Potter's Boy Who Lived so special. The ending of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore accidentally ruined the only unique spell in Harry Potter and nobody seemed to care. After Mads Mikkelsen’s Grindelwald is defeated in his somewhat confusing attempt to win a legitimate election using a zombie qilin he attempts to take one final victim in Credence Barebones. But the young Dumbledore wizard is protected at the very last in a way that ruins the precise thing that made Harry Potter such a one-off.

Fantastic Beasts 3 meddled with the Wizarding World in a couple of ways, with the same apparent casual concern for canon as JK Rowling showed in introducing Pottermore's various lore wrinkles. Not only did The Secrets of Dumbledore change Avada Kedavra, making it weaker, but it also, rather notoriously, introduced a major Professor McGonagall plot hole by including the future Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts at all. Continuity, it seems was never a major concern, especially considering how much of Crimes of Grindelwald the newer sequel seemed intent to simply ignore. That much went way deeper than ignoring Johnny Depp.

The biggest problem with Secrets of Dumbledore’s changes to Harry Potter canon is the love shield Albus and Aberforth Dumbledore use to protect Credence from Grindelwald’s killing curse. While it was a smart way to bring Aurelius back into the Dumbledore bloodline properly, it came at a cost to what made Daniel Radcliffe’s Boy Who Lived so special. The point of him surviving Voldemort was that it was unprecedented and the magic accidentally conjured to protect him was completely unique. That can’t be said now after Secrets of Dumbledore. If Albus Dumbledore was always aware that a love shield was able to deflect the killing curse, then the mystique of Lily Potter’s sacrifice for her son loses its impact. Harry was presented as utterly unique, not least because he survived the curse but because of the way it happened, but if the spell was already known, then where is the magic of the twist? Harry was merely a lucky survivor of something his parents’ supposed mentor and leader didn’t tell them about in any sort of useful way.

Dumbledore knew the alliance of good wizards that made up the original Order of the Phoenix were under threat from Voldemort. He knew the prophecy and knew Harry would be one of two major targets, and yet he seemingly decided not to tell the Potters of a way to use their love to protect Harry. And worse, if Fantastic Beasts 3 really just establishes a different way that Harry Potter could have survived Voldemort’s attack, the whole importance of the Boy Who Lived no longer really rings as true.

The Return of the Weird Blockbuster

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness raises the question: Is Sam Raimi the best director to ever be attached to a Marvel movie? He doesn’t have an Oscar like Chloé Zhao or Taika Waititi, the sorts of filmmakers who, if nothing else, win Oscars (their movies really make you think). He doesn’t typically do prestige, and he avoids serious subject matter. But Raimi is also a singularly kinetic visual storyteller—a true showman—and, in his way, a transformational figure in the recent history of American cinema. When Raimi directed the first (and arguably best) Spider-Man in 2002, comic-book properties were a volatile prospect, if not an all-out gamble. The Joel Schumacher Batman movies were a pop-culture punch line, and R-rated Bayhem was all the rage. That Spider-Man surpassed even the most optimistic box-office expectations is only part of the story, however. The fact that a major studio would entrust such a valuable title to a guy like Raimi—whose most famous movie to that point f

Batman Beyond Settles Tony Stark vs Bruce Wayne

Since both characters are billionaires without inherent superpowers who use their wealth to develop a method to fight evil in their respective worlds, the debate over who is better between Batman and Iron Man has raged for decades—but an issue of Batman Beyond proves that Iron Man is superior. Tony Stark first became Iron Man after he was captured as a prisoner of war and developed a suit that could keep him alive following a nearly fatal injury. Since then, he continuously created better versions of his original design until he was successful in developing an entire army of his suits that he can control remotely in what's known as the Iron Legion. Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, refined his body and mind rather than just his suit upon his entrance into the superhero world. Bruce trained with the greatest masters of basically every kind of martial art to make himself the pinnacle of what human beings are capable of. However, in the neo-tech future of Batman Beyond, Bruce is a lot o

Release and Streaming Play Set Firm Day Theatrical to Italy

A move that will transform Italy’s relationship with Netflix, the Italian government has set a firm three-month time window between a movie’s theatrical release and when it can drop on a streaming platform. The announcement was made by Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini during a Rome confab on the state of the country’s film industry held by the country’s motion picture association ANICA. The minister said he has signed a law that will extend the existing 90-day theatrical window for Italian films that had benefitted from government subsidies to now include all films, regardless of where they are produced or how they are financed. Due to its having a more flexible windowing policy than France, Italy in recent years has been an interesting testing ground for the theatrical releases of Netflix titles, largely because the Venice Film Festival is a frequent launching pad for the platform’s original films. Here I will inform you of the films that have just been released and can be
