Listen, I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about the Johnny Depp casting controversy and the way it was handled by those involved in the films. We all know what this is: not a good look. Johnny Depp should have been removed from the cast, and he should not appear in future Fantastic Beasts films.
It's not even worth defending his performance either! I don't want to hear an argument about how only the great Johnny Depp could do this role. His performance is uninspired and bland. He was the sleepiest villain ever. Almost any veteran actor would have done just as good a job, if not better. I guess, on the bright side, that whole thing made me hate Grindelwald a whole lot more?
