>>154179927>Root has the best designDamn straight
>>154180592This was honestly a great moment both in the book and in the comic

>>154179884I refuse to beleive Artemis would use Comic Sans.
>>154181253Missed it, but I'll bump this one at least.
Thanks OP
>>154179914>>154179963>>154179988Sex
>>154180026>>154180044>>154180053This too, sex. She's probably not (too much) what you imagined reading the book but as a standalone i like it.
>>154181019>one centimeter can make an awful lot*sniff* that's true...
Man, I remember my first Artemis Fowl book being the Time Paradox. Then the sequel book to TP where he develops a schizo personality.
>>154179927My brother from another mother. One of the only few books that made me tear up and even influenced my personal signature.
>>154179777I always wished he fucked Opal to make Holly jealous.
>>154187507Comic Opal has a cute ass design, i'll be honest, i kinda fapped to the idea fat ugly bastard with that investigator guy in my head
>>154179777I used to love Artemis Fowl books as a kid so much. The movie trailer was so ass it just tore my heart out. Fucking vampires the whole lot of them
>>154187945They really should have just made an animated series
>>154180053
>>154179777Damn /co/ would love this story
>>154188206I dont get it, afaik HGH is more for growing muscles and physique. Does it actually make you grow taller even as an adult when your bones lock? Was the plan for her to develop into a woman slowly and sort of trick everyone into thinking she wad just short af but developing?
>>154188595Koboi's a bioengineering specialist, she probably has a long-term plan for that. For now, some base level cosmetic surgery and a gland implant will do.
>>154188183I don’t read Artemis Fowl books any more, but this was the first in a page-long list of hypnosis fetish stuff that ensures I read every single one of these books as a preteen.
>>154179904kek i dunno why but as a kid I always pictured Juliet as just Butler with a wig, never this cute.
>>154179777When I was younger I wanted to fuck the elf so bad, and that was even before the graphic novels
>>154189399>I was youngeri still wanna bang holly short. she's the epitome of tomboyism
bump
>>154179806Am I meant to roll my eyes at that faux-sherlockian observation-vomit or is it just that I aged out of the target demo and it was supposed to make him look cool?
>>154192267I think you just grew out, i watched a few old movies i used to like as a kid and ended up realizing the way the main cast or character were written was actually kind of stupid.
>The author thinks it's weird that people ship Artemis x HollyTF did he think was going to happen?
>>154179914Holly, my beloved. >white washingBooooo. Also, this artwork is hideous.
>>154192636You don't write shit like >>154181078 and all the other shit by Atlantis and expect people NOT to think Arty wanted to fuck the elf girl. She's like the only adult woman he's truly interacted with and has a strangely close relationship who isn't his mother since he was like 12. Aragorn shit.
>>154179777I should read this tomorrow
The movie might just be the most disappointing thing I've ever seen in my life. Just an endless stream of completely baffling changes.
>>154179927holly is supposed to be a brown skinned ginger and bulter/juliet eurasian, so i feel they don't capture the book
>>154180005>"How should I modify their memories?">"Eh, fuck it. Give the restaurant free 5-star reviews from everyone."
>>154180074
>>154193416Anyone else find it funny how Butler's real name basically calls him a Russian dwarf/kobold thats funny.
>>154192636He still cashed in on it in the last few books
>>154193891I wonder ehy they didn't turn them into more comics with this artstyle
>>154188206Holly really said>YWNBAH
>>154186594Dang, sorry your first impressions were the 2/3 worst books in the series.
Bump until anon comes back
>look up Holly on her wiki page on a whim>birthday: June 14thIs that the reason why this thread was made?
>>154192556That's not the case for good kid books/movies. But it's the case for most successful young adult books/movies. They need to have a type of special cringe and general retardation about them to really appeal to the hormonally-cooked teen mind. This makes them not hold up for any other demo.
>>154196919I really need to look into that DESU. I'm an amateur writer but I love appealing to demographics that might normally be seen as trashy because I like the kayfabe, cliches, and narrative conceits more than I should.
>>154196919Imo they probably capture that point in time when you were a teenager where you were a special kind of angsty and edgy, not like the Ennis or Millar shit, i mean that time when you thought you were smarter than everyone else or rebellious or both. I dont really know how to describe it. Anway that's why they end up appealing to a certain kind of demographic (especially to women).Also there tends to be an atmosphere about them that i can't quite nail down, it's like... the glossy leather suits they wear in the Xmen movies, that's how i'd describe the atmosphere.
>>154198361So my take on it is that it's kind of an anti-theme. Rather than trying to say something and trying to find a good character and situation to demonstrate or explore a particular aspect of the human condition, these writers begin with>wouldn't it be cool if...And build the scenario around getting that cool theme to happen. This is where the billions of plot holes get introduced, because realism actively gets in the way rather than deepens the themes or adds relatability. It's escapism in perhaps its purest form, where the setting itself dumbly nods its head at the dumb shit you say like 15-year-old wishes it would.God I wish I could throttle teenage me. Slap the shit out of that stupid kid.
>>154198621True
>>154192636Shoulda committed to Minerva. Instead he dropped her entirely from the series because some shit-tier fanfiction authors got stroppy.
>>154179777Still no Fowl anon, i'm kinda sad like when the guy who posted the old Adam Strange stories never followed up
>>154179777I keep reading and keep forgetting all of these guys should have some sort of irish accent. Or at least the Fowl team i guess, Root probably has a G.I Joe American accent.
>>154201928I've got Root played by Peter Capaldi in my head. I think it's a perfect fit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3BUrtNeh3k
I want to put my human penis in Holly's elf vagina.
>>154201600Problem with Minerva was her just being genderbent pre-developement Artemis, which story wise there really wasn't much to do with her apart than maybe retread Artemis' arc or have just keep being a bitch and getting in over her head with the fairy stuff. And shipping wise its not really interesting having 2 characters who are basically copies of each other. Minerva wasn't even unique in being "evil female genius in contrast to Artemis" as Koboi already existed and had established herself as the series biggest reacurring villain. Still think Minerva was a wasted character but she needed a completely different angle.
>>154201961Cast voices for every character?
>>154180937I think the comic is a great adaptation, but yeah, the designs are kinda ass. Butler looks like he has chromosomes missing, Juliet is way too small for what she's able to do, Holly has a 14head, and Mulch is just absurd.
>>154198621>God I wish I could throttle teenage me. Slap the shit out of that stupid kid.why? he sounds more joyful than what you are now.
>>154202216I actually like Mulch and the Dwarves, i liked how alien they feel. Holly, i actually like her design as a standalone thing, but i figured Holly was meant to look more ""adult"" like an adult who is (dis?)proportionately shrunk down into something shorter than a child. I'd say the brown halfling lady from that gay D&D show is about right, but with a lighter skin tone, OYERLAND hair and less beefy.
>>154202366Oh yeah and maybe the hair could be more well kempt.
>>154202216Holly fails to match a single aspect of her book description outside of having pointy ears I guess. This is because the artist literally just rebranded an OC from his Sexy Vampire comic.
>>154186594>Time ParadoxFunniest shit that happened in the book was auction. I forgot who his name was, but when Holly was captured, and was about to be auctioned out. Holly managed mesmer to hide her ears, and everyone there thought he was selling a young girl.Also, looking back at it, yeah Artemis guilt tripping Holly into time travel was something. And I'm pretty sure those two only had two kisses in the entire series.
>>154202379... what is this comic called
>>154202392Holly didn't need a mesmer at all. All she had was some memory-moulded membrane to round out her ears and the rest was puppy eyes and decent acting.
>>154202000>shipping wise its not really interesting having 2 characters who are basically copies of each otherwell, Kaguya-Sama: Love is War is built on this, and it's a pretty good romcom where shippers are in general pretty fond of the canon ship, the problem is that Eoin Colfer just isn't great at character chemistry.
Wasn't there a sequel book series? Also how the series ended with Artemis coming back from the dead via clone body, using a kiss he made to Holly, and returning his soul back to said clone body. To then end the book series on by Holly recounting the beginning of the story.
>>154202605I think that's just the final book. The sequel series is about his younger twin brothers going on their own adventures, set a decade after the original books.
>>154202455Daffodil, the artist is Giovanni Riganohttps://riganogiovanni.blogspot.com/
>>154202338I assure you he was not
>>154180585DEX BUILD IS FOR PUSSIES!
>>154204293It is indeed!
>>154181736thanks dumpy
>>154188595she is a different species, maybe human juice will supercharge her
>>154206588supercharge her womb for cross-species fertilization, maybe.
>>154188595Growth plates really don't close fully for a while and even then microfractures getting repaired can slowly add a little bit if you're healthy enoughplus who knows how pixie biology works
>>154179802>wild goose-chaselol, first sentence and this supposed genius character doesn't even know that's the technically incorrect use of the idiom.
>>154179851Freudian slip and MC2 are pretty obvious, but WTF is Stefan Bashkir?
>>154208123How so? A lengthy, complicated and ultimately fruitless pursuit or search for fairies seem like the verbatim definition.
>>154208247Iirc that was his alias when he competed in a chess match against a Grandmaster in some exposition.
>>154194379Sales were lagging when Disney bought the film rights, and they used the opportunity to cancel it and reboot the comics with a new team, replacing artist Giovanni Rigano with Stephen Gilpin (pic related) and trying to modernize the material.Unsurprisingly, it bombed right alongside the film adaptation.
>>154209270cute holly. is the dialogue from the book? i forget.
>>154179777Trips of heavenly truth declare that Holly should've /ss/ed Artemis
>Writer makes the greatest love story ever told>"Duuuuh it was never supposed to be a romance lol?" >The potential greatest love story ever remains just that: potential, and never comes to fruition.Many such cases.
>>154180005This is my first time reading this and I like it a lot, thanks for story-timing. I remember watching the trailer for the movie and thinking it looked lame and then hearing from fans that it was terrible
>>154210413It was lame and terrible.I'd recommend you to read the book, but it's childrens literature (and not timeless kind like the Hobbit) so your mileage may vary.
>>154182137Why not? He's at the exact age when people think comic sans is cool.
>>154179777The only hanging questions is at what age Holly should've jumped Artemis' bones.
>>154179907>exporting to/out of Russia and not being the CCPPlayed a stupid game and won a stupid prize.
>>154179777Went and reas Opal Deception and Opal really got one of those shitty chinese fairy surgeries. I get she mostly looks the same and it's more on the artstyle and the whole point was to look like a weird human chikd but she was better with a longer face.
