The little nifflers from the Fantastic Beasts series became a fan favorite. So what if we had a spin-off series of just them ala the minions?
Everyone fell in love with the nifflers after Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. They were cute, wanted to collect money and shiny things and now, there will be even more! Apparently, the niffler is going to have babies and that means that now, we want our own spin-off movie.
The problem is that by doing so, we create the minion effect. After Despicable Me, everyone thought the minions were cute. Then they went crazy and we can’t escape those banana loving yellow things.
Will we end up having the same feelings when it comes to the nifflers? Hopefully not. They’re brilliant, funny, and were easily one of the best parts of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
That being said, we don’t want them to become a nuisance. So often, something we loved gets tarnished because everyone over-hypes it. The niffler was so fun and new that we run a real risk of doing the same thing to this creature that brought us such joy in the first movie.
Truly, we don’t want another minion situation on our hand but also more of the niffler could be a fun thing right? If not, we’ll have to find out the hard way.
Would you watch a movie that was just nifflers? Or do you think you’d grow tired of these beautiful creatures who love to collect treasure? Sound off in the comments below!
