r/FantasticBeasts Screenplay [Thoughts]

Hi everyone!

There won't be a question today, but I wanted to show you guys a system I made for this project that should make finding, reading and understanding everything easier. Let me know if this works for you.

(For anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about this post should fill you in).

Every few days there will be a Question post, where you guys share your ideas, thoughts, feedback and ideas on a certain subject/question related to an aspect of the series.

There will also be Thoughts posts (like this one), where I ask for your thoughts on ideas you guys have given (based on most popular/interesting etc.). These are where we decide what will end up going into the screenplay.

How it's Going posts will be posted more rarely. It's essentially a summary of what we have decided on so far (mostly for future reference)

I'll give examples of popular ideas in screenplay format every once in awhile in Thoughts posts, tto, so I can gauge what you guys do/don't like.

Will this work for everyone?

I do have one thing I want to hear your opinions on today.

u/farestarek123 and I recently combined a few ideas into a really good story (in our opinions), and I'm curious whether you guys agree and would like to include the story.

Here's the idea:

We already know that we want Newt (and a few others) to be helping animals hurt by WW II while Dumbledore searches for Grindlewald.

While I was trying to pick who would go with them, I was having trouble finding a reason Theseus would go, despite being in wartime as a Head Auror.

u/farestarek123 suggested there should be an animal trafficker bad guy, who's using animals as weapons in the war. That made me think what if Newt and Theseus are sent to put a stop to him, along with a few other characters like Tina and Lally?

After some more back and forth, we decided this could be a really cool idea. We also thought maybe Queenie and Jacob would stay in New York to avoid triggering Jacob's bad memories of the first war, but they could still have a few scenes together at the bakery.

Would you guys like this to be in the screenplay? I know you guys love Queenie and Jacob, but they will still have some screentime, and maybe a short storyline if I can fit it in.

Let me know. :)
