Fantastic Beasts: 21 WTF Moments
12. EXECUTION?!
After Graves gets his hands on Scamander and Tina and interrogates them (giving away his actual plan for the world in the process and foreshadowing who he really is), the film takes a serious turn to the dark side, turning up the adult material to 11.
The revelation that Magical Congress has a built in Execution Chamber that literally dissolves anybody selected for extermination might be the most outrageous moment in the entire film. How on Earth are they getting away with that? Where is the court system? Why are all the white-robed employees so creepily cheerful? What is this nightmare?!
And were Newt and Tina not entitled to a trial in front of a jury of their peers? Does the Constitution not extend to magical people? They're basically ruling like the Nazi party.
