Hi, I don’t think our paths have crossed on LJ before (except for me barging into you conversation with rogueslayer452 over on her LJ), but since this post was public and I’m desperate to discuss Fantastic Beasts I thought I might as well leave a comment.
I especially loved the niffler.
I think most of us did. *lol* The little guy was way too cute not to love him.
I LIKED it enough, but it didn't leave me with my head spinning. Mostly with a desire to read fanfic (and maybe write some of my own fanfic) that may or may not expand a little on the movie's themes.I absolutely agree. The only reason why I am fangirling as hard as I am is that I fell in love with the character Percival Graves as soon as I saw him in the trailer. If that had not been the case I’m not even sure I would have watched the movie. I wasn’t very interested in it before I fell for Graves

You weren't barging!
I already have a headcanon that's very dark and I will eventually write into a fic. For simplicity's sake, Gellert kind of did what he did with Credence to the old Graves, and manipulated him into basically giving his identity. This is also why Tina didn't really balk at his trying to murder her and Newt (with the execution Pensieve - I don't want to think Seraphina Whatsit had intended that to be the punishment, and the attendants looked Imperiused or Confunded), he'd been acting strange for so long that in her mind, he'd finally made his true intentions clear and it all "made sense." :/ But that's only headcanon. That's the problem.
yit was always more about the world she created than the actual story. I loved her world so much. Someone also pointed out how many characters were were to love. Although in fairness, the first two books didn't give us nearly as many either -

Though, personally I’d rather have the poor guy being kidnapped and tortured and finally rescued rather than having him fully convert to the dark side. Not sure what that says about me though that I’d rather have him tortured and suffering from PTSD than happily serving the Dark Lord (or whatever fancy title Grindelwald invented for himself). *lol*
I loved her world so much. Someone also pointed out how many characters were were to love. Yes, indeed, and they kept showing up more than once. Even if you thought you would never see a character again they would make an appearance in another book; even people like Umbridge who you didn’t want to see again. It seems such a waste that there will be at least some Fantastic Beasts characters that we will never see again.
Oh, the idea is definitely that it would lead to pretty dark stuff for real!Graves. Not sure what yet, though. But it began with a tragically false sense of trust. Basically, I see it being like Ginny in the second Harry Potter book; she thought Tom was her friend and trusted him, then bad stuff started happening and he was who she told because again, she trusted him. By the end she's almost killed people and would have died were it not for Harry. That's kind of how I see it - not literally, but the guy being taken advantage of and not realizing it until it was too late. :(
