I felt like I kept waiting for something to happen, and then it was over. The visuals looked cool but it just didn't do it for me. When an article came out about how the bear was one of the scariest things in movies for a while I laughed

I always thought that the parts of the first film where Michael is in hiding in Italy were so well-shot and beautiful. The contrast to the cramped confines of the city and all of its violence is so well-done, especially as that contrast evaporates in an instant and it all comes crashing down.

The ‘good wizards’ in Fantastic Beasts actively fight to make sure The Holocaust actually happens!

In the second movie, Grindlewald is addressing his followers in a big speech. He conjures imagery of WWI & WWII (including The Holocaust) and says “This is what the muggles will bring about in the next few years, we need to intervene now!” and the good guys are like “We’ve gotta stop this guy!” 😂

I think Watchmen semi addresses this. For example, there’s a scene where Edward Blake/The Comedian, is walking out of an alley way and you see two parents with a little boy during the opening montage, which we are lead to assume both of Bruce’s parents lived along with Bruce. Also they use Dr. Manhattan in the Vietnam war and he just dominates everything in which the US ends up winning the war instead of just pulling out and giving up

The Flash could easily go back in time and free ever prisoner of every WWII concentration camp in an hour and even move them into new homes (that he built 0.00001 seconds ago after a quick breakfast lunch and dinner while carrying the person) and even make Hitler die in a way that looks like suicide.

But all The Flash stories that involve time travel seem to mostly focus on how you're not allowed to change anything, so the only direction that story could go is having The Flash being forced to put the people back into concentration camps, which might not sit well with readers.
