Harry Potter had the benefit of being so popular worldwide that a lot of its readers straight up won't notice the problematic parts of it as they tend to be not super overt and you can easily miss them if you lack the context of why they are so harmful. Rowling's controversial (to say the least) statements also not always make it into non-English mainstream media, which also affects the series' reputation.

(a lot of people also outright agree with her ****ty views but that's beside the point)

On the last part you said, I would like to say something about critical thinking. Now, I am not saying that all who agree with JK necessarily do this, but we all have our different opinions, which are nothing right or wrong, but too many people listen to others and mindlessly agree with them or what people say that may not be true without developing or necessarily going by their own opinion or develop their own opinion about something. Quite sad, isn’t it?

The fact that it's releasing in between the Batman and Sonic 2 makes me think this is gonna flop.

Bruh I looked it up cause I thought Sonic was at the end of the year and it's April? ****ing ay. Sonic seems neat and The Batman looks super ****ing promising in my book so Jared Leto's cult is gonna be seething for a while

Also, does anybody really care for Fantastic Beasts?

After watching Crimes of Grindlewald a few years that left me rather underwhelmed, I predict it will face a rather tough competition against Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (in which I expect Sonic to do well in the April box office numbers pending on the situation of the pandemic.)

EDIT: Will also add that there will also be a number of factors that could impact the Secrets of Dumbledore's run ranging from the controversy involving JK Rowling, and Johnny Depp's departure etc.

HP is still massively popular in Japan. The movies mind you, not the books.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Pretty sure this had already been discussed, but this is now the seventh time Morbius had to be delayed to April (probably due to concerns of the Omicron cases) in what I believe will be released in the same month as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie and the Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore which will be rather challenging.

I'm uninterested with Morbius as it feels like a discount Venom movie. I feel that it's going to struggle against Sonic 2. Not so much Fantastic Beasts 3 as any that film may have had gone tarnished by the controversy regarding J. K. Rowling's "current thoughts" (not saying what those thoughts are) and the Johnny Depp lawsuit.

Knowing Sony too. Morbius is going to just be cringe humor as the Venom movies were.

Factor in being PG-13 which already loses my interest. A movie about a pseudo-vampire should be R-rated.

Looks like nothing more then one of those bland fest of a cliche vampire movie.

I'm now hitting the late part of the plot for Brave police in SRW30

You know this plot has elements That resemble ones from Transformers Animated, i wonder if that's in any intentional? I supposed Well never know for sure since the guy who was in charge of Transformers Animated passed away recently

Makes sense, Harry Potter Is basically just a western shonen series when you think about it

It also has to compete with Fantastic Beasts.

Man the wait for this film is gonna kill me...

Please don't get delayed (Although the reason would obviously be understandable, even then I could just watch it at home though I'd prefer a theater).
