it’s pretty obvious that the reason people can’t get behind Voldemort is that he’s bald and ugly. If he was attractive and had good hair he would likely be much more succesful.
It was inevitable that Voldemort, an utterly dull villain, was seen as bad by the utterly dull heroes of the story seeing as they come from the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.
He takes over the world.
Because no one else knew him well enough like the headmaster to know where his Horcrux's were, or that he had 7 of them and Slughorn was in denial and didn't want to talk about it.
The horcrux's are basically anchors grounding a soul to the mundane realm.
When you destroy a Horcrux via one of the recognised methods, you banish the shard of the soul that was used to create it to the HP-setting death realm, but if others have been made and secreted away somewhere, then the original 'prime' soul will still be able to float around freely as a weakened wraith if disembodied.
Voldemort's current physical incarnation was born from a homunculus theorised to be stitched together out of the mutilated foetus of Bertha Jorkins.
So even if you destroyed Voldemort-prime's body seven times, correlating with the number of horcrux's, he'd still be able to glide away cackling to himself while he finds some other womb to haunt.
Which makes it all the more absurd that he didn't have the foresight to realise that hiding them all in locations or things closely relating to his personal history was remarkably idiotic.
Harry Potter really lost me after the first two. They went to great lengths to build this magical world filled with a sense of grandeur only to turn it into some flat teen drama with wands
The magic disappeared when they started having all the wizards wear normal clothes. In the latest one even Grindelwald is dressed like a muggle with perfect fashion sense despite thinking muggles are inferior to wizard culture. What the fuck happened to wizards showing up in muggle dresses because they thought they looked like a nice pair of robes?
Generally speaking, it would have made a lot more sense for James Potter to have been a south-sudanese tier black guy. Everything would have been way more logical.
Suddenly Vernon's apoplectic hatred of the nephew foisted upon his family home becomes shrewd common sense.
Petunia's cold-hearted neglect becomes the reasonable attitude of a proper women who bore the shame of her wanton sister sullying her genetic line.
Aunt Marge's dogs wanting to rip Harry to shreds becomes a rational animal instinct.
Snape's seething jealously and endless grief becomes so much palpable when he's staring into the verdant eyes of his unrequited love distorted by big-lipped, wide-flaring-nosed, monkey-faced half-cast nignog
Half the castle vacillating from adoring Potter to reviling him would make sense because everyone was probably naturally distrustful of him already
It would explain Harry's natural aptitude for sports and getting into fights, alongside his innate respect for the disreputable and criminal Sirius Black
>he creeped dumbledore out even when he was a child > as a child he was fking creepy and edgy >studies magic but doesnt really seem to help anyone or leave a positive impression on townsfolk >tries to be immortal. which is usually frowned upon by most normal people >starts a gang of sorts
even if the people of his world were kind of shitty and used magic foolishly and flippantly I don't think it should have been his or anyone's call to start killing. His gang was full of assholes as well, he kept shit company.
>Voldemort is bad because... BECAUSE HE'S A PRODUCT OF RAPE OK?!!?
what did Rowling mean by this
You seriously wouldn't be miserable if you were a rape baby? So much so it drives you to having an extremely fucked up sense of morality
it’s pretty obvious that the reason people can’t get behind Voldemort is that he’s bald and ugly. If he was attractive and had good hair he would likely be much more succesful.
Why do you think people like azula?
She looks good
I wonder how much more fans he would have if he had his looks from that past flashback in the 2nd movie.
can't he just use spell to conjure hair and nose?
That is absolutely absurd.
I believe he just doesn't give a shit
That's why Grindelwald was marginally nor successful
*More
He's bad because he sought out immortality at the cost of the lives of others
Voldemort is bad because he couldnt stop obsessing over a teenage boy like a complete gay
does harry potter has any world building? it seems to just be le bad guy vs le good guy with little outside of it
Plenty, but very little of it was included in the films
Movies skip like half of what's in the books
DEH!
came for this

Intro was a bit too clunky, but you’re here and that’s what matters
I love a good stretchposting as much as the next guy, but: no Clifford in the image; no good. 2/10.
>voldemort is bad because he have mixed blood
Really makes you think.
Well, his pet eat alive human being. Thats kinda bad
>Villain is evil because...he's ugly!
I wonder what the Harry potter female fanbase would be like if Voldemort was really attractive.
What would've happened if voldemort won ?
He takes over the world.
Because no one else knew him well enough like the headmaster to know where his Horcrux's were, or that he had 7 of them and Slughorn was in denial and didn't want to talk about it.
Cant you just kill him 7 times and he stays dead when he runs out of extra one-ups ?

Ok, cut his head off and keep him in a jar im the ministry a la Futarama
He literally kills babies.
so hes a garden gnome?

The Chamber of Kino is my favourite.

that actually makes a lot of sense
also he married ginny the coalburner
This makes too much sense
Also their unruly hair
He also wanted to rule the wizarding and muggle worlds as a dictator forever by gaining immortality, but sure, let's pretend we don't know
He's a psycho. It's realistic.
Harry's parents were LITERAL monsters and should've been exterminated. Voldemort did NOTHING WRONG.

He’s bad because he has no emotions/no live inside him. This is because he is a rape baby made by a witch raping a muggle.
He was running around murdering people. Is that not bad enough for you?
shit movies for shit heads
>lives in a world with magic that allows people to change their appearance
>chooses to be bald and noseless
Was Voldemort retarded?
