I read the court treatments and it seems to me both Heard and Depp are completly insane tbh, I'm sorry but they both seem really WILD in their anthics

They were both abusive and toxic in the relationship. This one-sided view demonising only the woman is disappointing. 

Yep. I completely agree, whenever famous men who get accused of these types of abuses it seems like fans are desperate to use DARVO tactics, or make the situation seem black and white by painting the famous millionaire as the victim.

On another note, this Fantastic Beasts franchise is a mess, isn't it? The last movie under-performed critically and commercially and now the main villain of the franchise has been ousted. The focus of FB seems strained as well, I don't know whether it is primarily Newt Scamander's story or Dumbledore's. Maybe they can get Colin Farrell to come back and reprise the role like he did in the first half of the first movie?

Mess, who else is gonna play Grindelwald now :neyde: I actually enjoyed the movies a lot despite the irritating an irrelevant Newt storyline :triggered:

Honestly what’s annoying about this is that he should never have been cast as Grindelwald to begin with. JK was always adamant about a British cast for British roles within the HP movies, to keep the authenticity. Same with other nationalities. 

Grindelwald is Hungarian, not American, and Johnny Depp really doesn’t fill the role well. He looks nothing like the young Grindelwald already established in Deathly Hallows. He was arguably the worst part of the last movie and already had controversy surrounding him during the first movie.

So now they have to figure out how to recast him and fit it into the narrative, which was already established in the HP series with no mention of him being transfigured into a different appearance. In short, it sucks all around.
