>Why can every wizard in New York instantly blink teleport apparate, to any location in visual range or out, whenever they want to as many times as they want to, instantaneously? Wizards can't even do that in 2010
>Why can every Wizcop on the NYWD fire a laser death beam out of their wand with no incantation? Their wands were basically laser rifles. Aurors can't even do that in 2010
>When Grindrwald had Dr. Who helpless on the train tracks why didn't he kill or stupefy him? Instead he extended a lightning bolt whip from his wand and repeatedly and sadistically torture lashed him with lightning instead of eliminating him. Did he do this out of perverse homosexual sadism to see Redmayne suffer? He could have ended the fight right there instantly and gone after Witch Boy
>Why did Grinderwald have the force? During his wand fight with girl-auror (which ends in a stalemate despite him being one of the most powerful wizards who have ever lived) he simply gestures at a nearby car and force throws it at her exactly like darth maul with no incantation
Everything about the Potterverse has led me to believe that magicians were way more powerful in the past and could do a lot more before that fucking failed attempted baby murderer made everything shit for everyone.

Did the NYWD have gender/diversity quotas in 1930?

>Wizards can't even do that in 2010 Harry Potter only goes up to 1997. We have no idea what wizards are capable of in 2010.
>Why can every wizard in New York instantly blink teleport apparate? Because they passed their apparition exams at school, duh. Apparating classes is the wizard form of driving classes. It's age restricted, can go stupidly wrong, can take you very far, and you're expected to have be able to do it at some point in your life.
>Why can every Wizcop on the NYWD fire a laser death beam out of their wand with no incantation? Because nonverbal spells are a thing since Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, both the book and the movies. The fact that American aurors can do it full-auto is just tongue-in-cheek for trigger happy burgers. You'll also observe in this movie that regular cops and aurors both follow the stereotypical rule "Shoot first, ask questions later"
>When Grindrwald had Dr. Who helpless on the train tracks why didn't he kill or stupefy him? Yeah, I got nothing. Because they went full Emperor with him.
>Why did Grinderwald have the force? Grindelwald-as-Graves uses a lot of wandless magic (also a thing in the books) to tip you off that he isn't who he pretends to be, because he is replacing the real Graves and had to use his wand because it would've tipped people off if he was openly carrying the Elder Wand with him instead. Graves' wand wouldn't have obeyed him to the same extent it did for the real deal, because that's how it works in the books, so he used it sparingly to avoid detection.

Nah. The wizarding world doesn't care about skin colour, they're more concerned whether you're a pureblood, a half-breed or some stinkin' mudblood.

Okay, but it gets used maybe half a dozen times in all the Harry Potter movies put together, and it's treated as some rare dangerous thing to do without a permanent enchanted pathway like a flue-portal. Wizards in 1930 new york literally use it to cross the street, they use it as much as breathing. Like at one point during the fight Grindlewald literally uses it 30 times in two minutes to dodge every single attack thrown at him. Why ever get hit by anything? Just blink to the right or to the balcony across the street or to the top of the statue of liberty.
Christian Lopez
It's a pretty dull flick
Landon Nelson
this bothered me too. apparating and flight without a broomstick is exceptional-tier magic
eh wands have always gone pew pew in WWoHP
killing him outright will probably blow his cover
wandless magic is a thing
Jaxson Cook
why didn't Newt Scamander just use the Floo Network or any other magical way to travel to New York instead of a ship?
Isaiah King
>y, but it gets used maybe half a dozen times in all the Harry Potter movies put together,
Yes, because they are set at Hogwarts, and you literally cannot Apparate at Hogwarts, not to mention you have to be an adult to do it. It's also treated exactly like driving in the books, doing it isn't a big deal for anyone except those that can't or just passed their test.
You're complaining about wizards being wizards.
Justin Bell
if anything MACUSA should be predominantly black, native american and hispanic
white people don't do magic. blacks have history with voodoo and shit. natives and hispanics have shamans too. hell chinese are also more mystical
Carter Morales
To the people saying "There has always been wandless/incantationless magic", if wizards can read minds, throw cars around, teleport to any location instantly, etc without wands then aren't these movies just X-Men movies with a less attractive cast?
Joseph Foster
Whites INVENTED magic sir. Ever hear of Merlin?
Whites invented magic just like they invented everything in science.

Bentley Jackson
No need to go all Sup Forums around here. In the HP universe, Merlin WAS a highly influential figure. So influential in fact that wizards say "Merlin's beard!" instead of "My God!" or "Jesus!". I think Ron's variation on it is great. "Merlin's saggy left..."
Justin Edwards
Imagine being Arnold in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Jamie Curtis, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific androgynous monster face. I would totally have sex with you, both my character and the real me." when all he really wants to do is fuck another 16 year old in his dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Arnold and not only sit in that chair while Jamie Lee Curtis flaunts her disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her stretchmarks and leathery skin, and just sit there, take after take, hour after hour, while she perfected that dance. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone on set tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, JAMIE LEE CURTIS LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch her mannish fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of blondes and supermodels and later alleged rape victims for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Austria. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with personal trainers in the previous months. And then the director calls for another take, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the studio security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Arnold. You're not going to lose your future political career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

American Wizards > British Wizards That's why

The film seemed to imply being a wizard in America is much more fun than the shit you get in the UK.

98% of all scientific achievements, discoveries and inventions are a direct result of the work of European (and later American) whites during the last 300 years from the scientific revolution to now. Arabs and Asians did make some very early contributions, but they are a few bricks in the towering structure that represents all of science which was nearly all built by whites. We try to highlight things like Algebra and gunpowder so that people will feel better about themselves. Were a very generous race in that regard.

The most basic offense spell sends a human flying back about five feet thats more force than any gun on earth and would blow a human torso off completely, but Rowling has no idea how much force is in shit that knocks humans back several feet.
Harry Potter fights are retarded, they should be over in under a minute due to how lethal offensive spells are.
