    There is also another thing you didn't mention and that is the enemy's OTHER military assets. Aside from the the 5th Generation aircraft, they also had older military hardware like the Mi-24 and the Mascot of the Top gun franchise itself the F-14 Tomcat. But even then no nation has ALL this military hardware. Another thing to note is that many 5th gen aircraft are also open for exports so the nation could have just Bought Those 5th gen aircraft.

    Quite enjoyed the first 16 minutes. 16:20 - But Dumbledore didn't have the authority to *stop* Hagrid from getting arrested. It's like the police showing up to arrest a friend (even if they're innocent): if you try to stop the arrest, you only become a criminal yourself. 18:00 - I was under the impression that Dumbledore didn't have a choice -- that it was worded softly ("we want you to step down"), but was actually an absolutely requirement (which is why it required all 12 signatures) -- that wasn't a petition, it sounded like a "school board", that actually had authority over him. I mean, it's an interesting idea, of Dumbledore *actually* trying to fight the government just to stay as headmaster (especially with all his skills and the school's many defences), but I don't think it'd go over well with most parents!

    The answer to all of this in one sweeping argument is that....Dumbledore isn't as concerned about safety and being good as the video assumes. The things you mentioned are not illogical--they are very possible. However, there is a need to accept the premise that he wants Voldemort destroyed at all costs, which can only happen if the prophecy is fulfilled (Harry is the only one who can kill him). Dumbledore is very much a lesser of the two evils kinda guy.

    • @HenryintheChair
      @HenryintheChair 2 месяца назад

      I don’t think there’s a single thing Dumbledore does here that contributes to the defeat of Voldemort. I’m not sure how letting innocent Hagrid get arrested contributes, I’m not sure how keeping the school open when children are being attacked contributes, I’m not sure how hiring Lockhart contributes, I’m not sure how doing nothing to investigate the attacks contributes. All that really happens is Harry sees the disarming spell and Dumbledore finds out that Voldy made horcruxes. The first thing would’ve happened anyway during the course of the education process and the second he lucked into. He admits that he only realised the attacks were the work of a horcrux after Harry gives him the busted diary right at the end.

  • @WenceslasHolec

    Why not to use the first movie(s) to make Grindelwald the right guy, the audience will love and believe him. Killing lizards and children...why not fight the enemies instead - his methods wouldn't be cleaner, but wouldn't be so comical - this over the top doesn't work on me, especially with Johny Depp. Crimes should be assasinations, use of darkest magic, deaths of aurors and colateral damage. It's magical World War, it should be very dark and yes, Grindelwald should be persuasive. We also want to stop the War and use cleaner methods, because Grindelwald is a terrorist, revolutionaire, he is magical Lenin, Fidel, Saddám, Qadafi or bin Ladin. But you are trusting him more and more, until you realize, that he is the cathalyst of the War.

  • @WenceslasHolec

    Hagrid would be a suitable person to have near in such times. It's possible to use Harry Potter as an expert? He is parseltongue and would be necessary in the long run. Search the Castle for any traces and you would get to snake iconography in a permanently broken Bathrooms. Also it would be useful to have plans and maps of the Castle - like a map of the plumbing after reconstruction.

    Why do you think, that Dumbledore is invested in the survival of all the students too much? He and his Order of Phoenix were fighting Voldemort and loosing people all the time. Is his approach in the school different, or does he agree with sacrifices of some pawns/students in the long term war against Voldemort, his deatheaters etc.? Lockhart was an example of abusing position of the Headmaster for personal aims or his "higher good"??? It reminds me of online article talking about negative choices and wrong assumptions of people considered to be geniuses, briliant, the cleverest ones. One example there is Oppenheimer and Dumbledore looks like another case of the same problem.

    Obviously the real answer is that this is a children's book/movie and the child audience is fully opposed to the school closing, because then the exiting adventure is over and Harry has to go back to the Dursleys. But whatI like to think is that Dumbledore knowingly and willingly endangered students in order to sus out information about Voldemort whom (atleast in the books) he canonically knows is behind the attacks. ("The question is not who [is opening the Chamber], the question is how", he tells McGonnagal - without actually revealing who it is) In HBP it's revealed that the CoS situation helped him conform his suspicion that Voldemort has created Horcruxes. So he had a hunch and let the whole plot play out as it did, because put his responsibility to neutralize the threat of Voldemort over his responsibilty as headmaster to keep his students safe. No, Dumbledore isn't a nice person.

    the fact that he didn't ask for clues to the ghost of a victim is already proof that Dumbledore doesn't gives sh*t about the chamber, the truth or helping anybody. after 50 years he didn't understood that the monster is a basilisk? c'mon... a know it all twelve years old did in weeks/months and the greatest Albus Dombledore couldn't in fifty years? hell... even HAGRID knew it was a basilisk. I understand that Dumbledore didn't want snape to be the professor of DADA due to the curse but he was the perfect professor for the dueling club and, in fact, he was as at the first meeting of the club (and proved to be a hundred times better than Lockhart) by the way, surprissingly DUMBledore didn't even ask to the care of magical creatures professor. what a brilliant idea. we have an unknown monster petrifying students but he doesn't ask an expert in magical creatures!?

    Later, we learn the DADA position has been cursed for decades and that staff members and students spread rumours about it. Voldemort looked quite young when he didn't get the job and since then, every DADA teacher seems to leave, have a freak accident or die. The teacher before Lockhart died at the school. Voldy is in his seventies. A few decades of DADA teachers lasting one year tops would make ME hire plenty of Lockharts. The position is filled and you get people you don't like to get hurt or killed.
