#Artemis Fowl movie

[artist-issues]

Please wake up to the art of remakes and adaptations.

Open up your eyes. There is such a thing as “a good adaptation” and “a bad adaptation” and the word that separates one from the other is “faithfulness.”

Stop going to movie adaptations of your favorite book, cartoon, or comic, when they are not faithful. Because guess what? Amazing fanfiction writers are out here sacrificing what they subjectively like because they’re committed to staying true to the original story they love.

You guys know what a good fan-work is, because it stays faithful. It stays faithful to the character’s motivations (and therefore, who the characters are) and it stays faithful to what the theme of the story is. So stop going to Hollywood’s bad fanfiction, and giving people who don’t care about the source material your time, attention, and money.

Stop going to a movie that has nothing to do with the content of your favorite story just because you want to see what it looks like on the big screen. Yeah, seeing Percy Jackson’s sword pop out in CGI was neat but that’s not Percy Jackson, so no, it wasn’t that neat.

Just read fanfiction that’s faithful. That’s what you really want. More of what you love, not cheap imitations that stole your favorite franchise’s face.

Reblog this if you watch the Artemis Fowl movie just to point out everything wrong in it.

The AF movie to the AF books was like the PJO movies to the PJO books.

Not as bad as the PJO movies tho

Me, watching the movie I waited over a decade to see made rip pages out of the books and wipe its ass with them:

You ever watch a movie adaptation so bad it makes you revisit the entirety of it's origonal franchise?

Anyways I'm on the Arctic Incident now and I think you can expect fanart.

You know I (completely reasonably) bad mouth the movie called Artemis Fowl as an adaptation. But to try to balance the cosmic scales, the Series of Unfortunate Events movie(I haven't watched the show enough to judge it). Does it follow the events perfectly, oh heavens no, but it still keeps the vibe, the characters all feel like the characters, there wasn't a single moment of "they wouldn't do that!" or "that's not how that works", heck they even modified the way the author would step in mid book to work with the change of medium. And to put my biases on the table, Unfortunate Events was the first books I ever read, they by that fact hold a higher place of honor in my mind than Artemis Fowl (not saying which is better than the other just that sentimentally Events is more important to me[even if it's name is massive enough that I keep shortening it]) so if Paramount butchered Events like Disney butchered Artemis Fowl, I'd probably still be holding a grudge against Paramount

I feel like seeing the Lockwood and Co trailer has given me so much more expectation for the show because I’m still recovering from the dissapointment of the Artemis Fowl movie and I cannot express how little I was allowing myself to be excited for this show until the trailer showed itself to be so good!!

#lockwood and co #artemis fowl #lockwood and co netflix #artemis fowl movie #ive been dissapointed before #so i didnt get my hopes up #but NOW ahjajdkdjfkfgf

I don’t need to write about it this year. I’m fine. I’m over it. I’m absolutely, totally, 100% fi—AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Holy shit the Artemis Fowl movie is somehow even worse than my lowest expectations.

I don’t know what the hell I just watched but it was not Artemis Fowl, WHY IS THE NAME OF OUR BELOVED BOOKS ATTACHED TO THIS PILE OF CRAP!?!?

I need to take a shower to purge myself of the absolute filth I just watched.

#artemis fowl #artemis fowl movie #how can I unwatch this? #if I started listing why it was awful I’d NEVER STOP #3 years of putting off this moment did not prepare me for this

Oh, I forgot to mention, when I saw Eoin at the Dalkey Book Festival the other day, the woman he was speaking with said something like "We haven't even mentioned the movie," and Eoin replied with something like "I try not to."

It's the first time I've heard him say anything with a potential negative interpretation about the movie, previously he's said that he liked it and was being very positive about it. I wonder if it's just the reception from fans and critics he doesn't like, or - as I've always suspected - the movie itself.

just found a compilation of holly short scenes from the artemis fowl movie

(not by me!)

if you:

-ignore the painful fact that the casting is inaccurate to the books' description and think of lara mcdonnell's holly as an alternate universe holly

-look past all the mentions of the 'aculos' egg acorn thing

-and all the other stuff that doesn't make any sense

these scenes are good! and the acting is great! (especially when she punches artemis heh)

just wish the full movie stayed true to everyone's character, but oh well.

I drew Artemis as the onceler because I have nothing better to do

#My tutor was showing me concept art of the Lorax movie and I remembered that I made this a few days ago #Rendering was so hard and idk if it was worth it #Maybe I’ll turn Holly into the lorax #Don’t know how that would go though #rootin tootin artwork #artemis fowl

[sunnylemonss]

there's no higher betrayal than finding out your favorite book has been made into a movie and the movie turns out to be absolute garbage

#the fact that this is applicable to so many book/movie adaptations is very sad actually #off the top of my head i can think of #eragon #artemis fowl #our chemical hearts #or is it just #chemical hearts #idk #and ofc this is so subjective!! #if u enjoyed these movies i am happy for u #i personally did not #esp in comparison to their books

[the-outlandish-owl]

Once again a book adaptation has betrayed me.

What if we invented a streaming service for bookworms that was just the book, scene by scene, no changes, exactly as it was written?

I can't believe the graphic novels included this bit

the Blue Fairy v Holly Short

Propaganda

the Blue Fairy:

~She's pretty and blue Though Disney didn't want her to be based on the glamour girls of the time, he loved the design for her despite that Hates lying/liars Super sweet ~The FIRST Disney fairy deserves the nomination, if not the win.

Holly Short:

~She’s one of the coolest fairies I’ve ever heard of. Perhaps it’s just something to do with the world building in the books, but she’s such a badass. In Eoin Colfer’s book, fairies aren’t born with wings. She spent time and effort learning to use wing backpack type things to fly. She’s a good friend, but will absolutely shoot you if you’re being stupid. Please, man. I love her.
