Disney can't even do justice to remakes of its own fucking films

It's one of the shittiest, most soulless production companies out there.

No, absolutely not.

The books are fit for movie adaptation, especially the first and second part, maybe the fifth too. The real problem is bringing the interaction of the core characters to life while keeping to the books. Artemis himself will be the hardest to portray without introducing extra bullshit scenes to make him look clever.

The world wouldn't really improve with another Alex Rider clone.

are those books actually good?
and why

I hope they include the scene where Butler fucks holly in her tight fairy ass

>>12171622
I remember reading them, but I don't remember anything about them.

>>12171622
they're shit and Owen Colfer is a pleb

>>12171634
can you tell me why?

>>12171652
the author is a libcuck and the story is cultural marxist propaganda

>>12171656a little afraid to ask but what does that mean?
do the books have a lot of propaganda or just sarcasm?

>>12171656
Actually, the story is fairly realistically, so very anti-marxist.

I was very into these as a kid and remember approximately 0% about them

>>12171762
I think it's because one of the members of the bodyguard families rejected her lineage. That's all I can pull out from my memory.
Also there was a warlock race being manipulated by a warring demagogue if I really rack my memory, so I guess he could be inserting fascism into that dynamic?

>>12171622
I mean they're YA, so you can't expect that much. But when I read them as a kid I thought they were fucking great, and they're decent morality tales too.

>>12171762
I'm guessing it's because the resolution to nearly all the books is that the main characters succeed because they help each other. Maybe he's bothered these children's books don't have a No Country for Old Men dynamic.

>>12171785
xd i don't really think that's marxism
it seems like some fiction-fantasy cliche.
the author have a "no one is illegal" shit in his twitter so yeah he is a liberal.

My only connection to Artemis Fowl is that pasta where an anon steals it from a library.

post it

Disney has just been way too political lately. I anticipate the movie will be heavy on affirmative action and will work in some kind of strong woman message.

>>12171949

they literally made the family of SERVANTS to the Fowl family black when the family was originally white

and then instead of using the original book's strong woman message they made the Haven police an equal opportunity work space so Holly has nothing to overcome in that regard

>>12171988
my fucking sides

>>12171988
kek

>>12171961
Well that's just not on the ball at all

>>12171762
if you have to ask that means you're also most likely a bluepilled libcuck

>>12171276
They have been trying to make this movie since before my balls dropped, it isn't happening.

>>12171622
They were good books to read as a kid, though I remember the plots of the later books being too formulaic and I lost interest after The Eternity Cube. The first one is worth a read if you just need a book to relax with, but like >>12171799 said, they're YA.

>>12172280
>isn't happening
>they have a trailer out
lol

i read these when i was eight and I will tell you that these books were not only shi and confusing (mostly just annoying), but just about anyone who has read them or has anything positive to say about them is clearly reddit/pleb/andor too young to post here please leave.

>Babadda gooble gobble
That's the part of stopped reading that book. Took me a week to figure out it was about thunder without looking it up

>>12171276
>read these when I was in 3rd grade
>mfw that was more than a decade ago
these books kicked ass back then (I read the first one again for nostalgia in high school and it sucked dick but it's the memories that count)
anyway the point of the post was where has the time gone and why has it been so many years since I last was able to enjoy life

>>12171961
>make butler black when he was white
>make holly white when she was brown
what's the point of this

>>12171276
I read AEIOUn's attempt at a hitchhiker's guide sequel and it was one of the biggest affronts to a god dougie never believed in I've ever tried to stomach.

>>12172290
This movie has been in development hell since before Obama was President. I don't even think Colfer released an addition to the series inside of this decade. It isn't happening famalam.

>>12173181
He's releasing the twins spin-off soon, apparently. And if books can continue, than movie getting out of development hell isn't that improbable.

>>12171276
i liked it when I was young but now I googled the synopsis and it sounds really dumb.

>>12173337
Still less dumb than Harry Potter.

>>12171625
you know, i can't say i remember that one

>>12173337
Reading it right now. It's dumb in places(the whole Fairy Police being really incompetent and Artemis tricking Holly into thinking he gave her truth serum even though the timeline of events makes no sense). But overall it's a solid read.

>>12173488
>forgetting the best scene

Remember a wrinkle in time.
Yea expect the same garbage.

>>12171276
Nah its gonna be a sjwf fest

>>12173304
I stopped reading after the fourth or fifth book I think. Also
>They made Butler black
Hard pass, my dudes.

>>12173482
It's not particularly hard to be less dumb than Harry Potter.

I liked these when i was kiddo

>>12171625
What? I don't remember that.
