{{quote|In the end, ''Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'' suffers from a textbook case of trying to do too much. J.K. Rowling wanted to stuff political intrigue, the grittiness of the latter half of the Harry Potter franchise, and hamfisted critiques of American culture into her story about magical animals. It’s a poor combination, and severely damages the resulting film. The quality is there – it is just hidden underneath a load of garbage. For the sequels, let’s hope that the filmmakers choose to steer more towards the direction of light-hearted fun and exploration, and less towards child abuse and executions. Because we can’t possibly expect some mixture of these to work out.

{{quote|My recommendations for the Hugo Awards last year were not precisely the same as Larry Correia's in Sad Puppies 2, nor are they identical to Brad Torgersen's recommendations in Sad Puppies 3. But they are similar because we value excellence in actual science fiction and fantasy, rather than excellence in intersectional equalitarianism, racial and gender inclusion, literary pyrotechnics, or professional rabbitology.
