Thank you for your suggestions, I forgot about Death Note

I hesitated putting Bright 🙈 but it was Jakoby's struggles to fit in that convinced me to.

Also because Fairies and Humans are coexisting in modern settings with racial prejudice, and I haven't find any movie that has the same vibe.

Feel free to add more movies/TV shows/Anime that reminds you of Artemis Fowl!

I recommend:

Terminator The Judgment Day: The iconic Schwarzy movie starring a protective tough-to-kill robot, a female badass with guns and a smart kid.

Robocop 2: One of the villain is a 13yo juvenile delinquent. He is a little bit more cruel than Artemis but he has the same business mind.

Darby O'Gill and the Little People: An old Disney movie loved by Eoin Colfer himself. It’s about an Irishman and the King of Leprechaun outsmarting each other

Megamind: It’s about a super-intelligent supervillain who is slowly becoming a superhero. At some point, he lied to his love interest and regrets it

Joshua: a psychological horror about a brillant and refined 9yo boy who terrorizes his family

Avatar The Last Airbender: one of the villain has a major redemption evolution

Just watched it. Yep, it's still a better AF movie than AF movie.

Want a good adaptation of Artemis Fowl? One made by Disney, even? Watch Zootopia. You'll do yourself a favor. The plot is completely different but I swear to god it's a more faithful adaptation than whatever the hell that horrendous movie was trying to be.

I'm still not over the massive waste that is Artemis Fowl movie. I'm currently reading "The Art and Making of Artemis Fowl" and the more I'm reading, the more I want to slap Disney for their stupid decisions.

I know Disney was very unsure about Artemis Fowl and they panicked over the test screen and the first trailer reception, but they have ruined a decent movie and wasted all talents.

If it had been a stand-alone Pixar movie or a low-budget direct-to-Disney+ series, would Artemis have get more creative freedom?

True. Holly didn't need much of healing with successful missions and the suit can lower magic consumption for shielding.

It’s funny how at the start of the series Holly’s gone four years without the ritual and is doing just fine but after she meets Artemis she’s doing it all the freaking time

I agree, they should have switched the narrative to make Holly the true heroine of this story. She has all heroic qualities, has a perfect storyline on her own and it would be cool to have a female non-Human leading character in a big franchise.

But why haven’t they done that? That’s simply because Disney’s exececutive, producters, director, and whoever make the decision are obsessed with pulling a Harry Potter story which has Hollywood favorite tropes: a regular male Human character who is thrust into a fantastical adventures (as the Chosen One to save the world).

Instead of being respectful of E.Colfer’s work and smartly using the etablished characters, they made heavy alterations on Artemis to make him a more conventionnal. And Artemis is everything but conventionnal.

So I get it, Disney didn’t want a villain protagonist in the AF movie...

Like it’s stupid but I sort of get it, they have a brand to maintain and pearl clutching moral guardians to think of, they need a protagonist who is strong, brave, compassionate and good no matter what.

So why did they not use the fucking protagonist they already had that fit all those traits? Holly is the epitome of badass girl power that Disney has been playing towards recently, not only is she tough but when it comes down to it she is so compassionate that she saves the lives of her kidnappers and ultimately turns them good.

And like really, what changes would they have had to have made to make Holly the main character? They could have still done a sinister prologue with Artemis planning to kidnap her (make him scary enough to justify naming the film after him), they then could have cut to her and her problems (you know, exactly like they do in the book) interspersed with Artemis uncovering the fairy secrets. And then, once she’s been kidnapped, it becomes even easier once their plots merge - you could basically follow the book scenes, with fairies trying to save Holly and being thwarted. You’d want to up the audience’s compassion for Artemis by making sure you keep a scene with Artemis and his mother in, add a scene with Foaly doing research into him and discovering how his father’s been missing and he’s spent most of the family fortune trying to find him and add a scene where Juliet gives Holly some details about Angeline (again a little more compassion for him needs to be built up from this angle), and then bam troll Holly saving everyone etc.

The only big change might need to be the ending, as it feels weird to have our protagonist lose half the gold. I think you could make it work by having Holly make a fuss about how she wants Root to be proud of her at the beginning and mention that he is at the end, but if they want something more, like I don’t actually think it changes that much by having Artemis give all the gold for his mother’s sanity? We could see the conversation they have, have him play it as “social services are going to take me away otherwise,” so Holly is still uncertain how selfish he is (as well as the fact he still kidnapped her) for the sequel, but ultimately he still gets a lot of what he wants.

Bam! Happy ending for Holly, happyish ending for our villain with potential for a redemption in the sequel, almost everything sticks to the book and no pearl clutching.

I have few thoughts about her: at the beginning, Holly has youth impetuous and is desperate to prove herself to her male colleagues after Hamburg she accepts a dangerous mission with a critical magical condition. She never finds the right time to do the ritual until it's too late. But the troll fight and the Fowl incident teach her something: by being low on magic, she puts herself and everyone counting her in danger. She matures and she's responsible to keep people around her alive. This is why she always does the ritual: you never know when someone will need a good healing and Artemis's plotd tend to involve people getting injured.

It’s funny how at the start of the series Holly’s gone four years without the ritual and is doing just fine but after she meets Artemis she’s doing it all the freaking time

I think they are people who genuinely don't want to think too hard and just simply enjoy the movie for what it is: a Disney movie.

If you search up AF movie reviews and set it to five stars you get some of the most ridiculous things

Please search up the meaning of book to movie adaptation

It very uniquely copied the plot of spy kids

Disney aged the movie down I mean it’s okay for five year olds but everyone else-

Minor details?

I really hope these guys are being sarcastic but at this point I honestly don’t know

As if I need another reason to hate this movie 😭

when i think about it, the artemis fowl movie sounds like a perfect dream version of the books. artemis is good at sports, has friends his age, and has a good relationship with his dad. it all sounds like things the real artemis--who grew up alienated and lonely, with complicated feelings toward both parents, and whom it took several books to befriend the fairies before he spent the rest of the series feeling so guilty about his past actions that it drove him delusional--would wish for.

This

another great thing about artemis fowl is the purposeful deconstruction of the Antisocial Genius trope. in lesser media, the Hero is an absolute asshole to everyone around him, but he gets away with it because he’s smart and Gets Results™. Your Sherlocks, your Houses, etc. The clear message is intelligence is more important than humanity.

Artemis, on the other hand, clearly buys into this idea in the first book or two. He believes that his intellect will be able to get him out of every jam, and who cares who he hurts along the way. But every time, things go wrong. People get hurt. People die. Even when they don’t, Artemis starts to realize that living his life this way makes it harder to form genuine connections. He learns and grows, and starts letting himself apply his intellect to altruistic things. He apologizes for the monster he was at the beginning, and does everything in his power to make up for past transgressions. It’s one of my favorite redemption arcs.
