Fantastic Beasts: 21 WTF Moments

For all the success of Grindelwald's reveal, it does make you think back to how unnecessarily complex his plan is. Sure, there's probably an element of arrogance in him hiding in plain sight within Magical Congress to track magical activity to his own benefit but it's still a little silly.

He's enemy number one, who apparently has an army of loyal fanatics to count on, and he's incredibly powerful, and yet he's having to wait around doing Graves' duties in Congress in the hope that something happens in Credence's attempt to find out who the Obscurial is. The fact that he knows there's a prophecy and the exact family that it relates to makes the fact that he then continues to infiltrate Congress entirely redundant. Why split his focus?

And where the hell are those fanatics we were led to believe exist? Wouldn't it have been narratively better to have Graves simply revealed to be one of them and Congress infiltrated, rather than have the big bad slumming it in such a strangely demanding day-to-day role? Presumably he had to live as Graves for some time so as not to attract needless suspicion.

Also... how exactly did anyone know to cast Revellio on him anyway? There were literally no hints that he was actually Grindelwald - presumably the MACUSA are just fans of Scooby Doo...
