Because making Queenie a total creeper wasn't enough bats*** insanity for one film, she also ends up being enticed over to Grindelwald's side and becoming one of his followers.

The specifics of Queenie's "turn" are kept a little vague, but from the moment she tells Jacob that they should hear what Grindelwald has to say, it's clear she's doomed.

Her allegiance shift occurs during the final battle, when in an hilariously overwrought moment, she steps through Grindelwald's blue fire while screaming "Walk with me!" to Jacob as a booming musical score blares out.

She ends the movie stood by Grindelwald's side, and it just feels like an incredibly off direction for the character. Did anyone want this? Is it remotely satisfying or interesting? Does it make any dramatic sense?

Considering how royally Queenie was butchered in this film, it probably makes sense to just kill her off in the next one.
