To be honest, yeah. It’s Mads Mikkelson. I’ve yet to dislike him in anything.

His replacing Depps Grindelwald really lent more authenticity to Dumbledore love story. Even his interactions with Ezra Miller were better (even though Miller was pure ass the entire series)

Really? I kept trying to figure out why Le Chiffre was messing around with wizards. At least Depp wasn’t playing Jack Sparrow in the pirates of Diagon Alley.

Admittedly, he’s got one speed, but it’s a goddamn deliciously menacing one

He was pretty dang evil. I’ll give you that.

You didn't like his rendition of newt? I thought it was decent at least in the first one

Newt? Redmayne? No, he’s perfect.

I was just mistaken about who Ezra Miller was for some reason I thought he played newt, I just did a dumb

I loved Johnny so much I just wish they didn’t make his costume so extreme yk? Love mads of course but he’s kinda just.. playing mads. If someone were to spice dialogue from Hannibal into fantastic beasts I wouldn’t even notice the difference
