AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the upcoming sequels in the 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise, with participants debating the viability of producing five films. There is a comparison made to the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series, suggesting that if that franchise can succeed with less depth, 'Fantastic Beasts' can also thrive. However, it is noted that the 'Potterverse' has a more dedicated fanbase, which may lead to heightened scrutiny from critics. Some participants express their enjoyment of the films, highlighting the more adult themes and the portrayal of socially awkward characters, while one individual mentions discomfort with the main character Scamander's body language. Overall, the conversation reflects a mix of optimism and critique regarding the future of the franchise.

So, can they pull off five films? Is the overarching plot coherent and deep enough to justify that?
Don't see why not. "Pirates of the Caribbean" is doing as much with less.

True, but PotC doesn't have quite the rabid following of the Potterverse.

QED.

My implication was there are a poo-poo load more critics out there for the Potterverse.

Ah, so.
 
I saw it, I liked it. I'd watch more, I certainly appreciated that the main characters were all socially awkward without any sort of "coming out of their shell" subplot. It also felt more adult than the Harry Potter films, or at least the first 5 of them.

I was a little irked by Scamander's body language. It makes me nervous when someone won't look me in the eye.
