Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of spongebob has passed away.
I realize now that Artemis Fowl totally influenced my love for certain tropes
A traumatized sassy preteen genius with a name weird by societal standards and his inhumanely talented butler commiting so many crimes and whose biggest threat is parental supervision, CHECK
A child who is pushed so hard they create an alter ego who is a ‘could have been’ or like the complete opposite of theif og personality to cope, CHECK
-I’ve been waiting for this movie since 6th grade, so I’m…worried.
-Is that Judi Dench’s voice? Why does it have such a weird filter?
-The Fowl Manor design is really quite lovely! Love the cupola!
-Who the fuck is that? Where the fuck is that? I’m assuming it’s Holly, but like. Weird.
-Some of the CGI, mostly of the “Haven City Express,” looks really bad.
-This is my son now. Sweet boy.
-Okay so remember in the book, after Artemis says that the sprite’s healing process is gonna be really nasty?
What the fuck is this supposed to be?
-I can deal with the hair on Butler, but the eyes in combination with it are freaking me out.
-Tell me this isn’t the Neutrino 2000. It looks like a toy periscope.
-This part is just weird to me. Not sure why. But I’m assuming this is Root dealing with Ark Sool’s bullshit. Regardless, that hair looks kinda weird on Dench.
-I know I said that this boy is now my son, and I do love him, but the way he’s walking in this shot makes him look like a 4th-grader trying to look cool in a short film he’s making on his dad’s iPad.
-I’m disappointed by the lack of Holly. I’d have loved a shot of her threatening Artemis after her escape from her cell in Fowl Manor.
-Kenneth Branagh seems to have a real fetish for slow-mo, huh? This trailer isn’t even 2 minutes long and he uses it at least three times. It kinda makes the movie look like it was made in like, 2005.
-I get that this is a teaser trailer, but if you don’t know anything about the books, this will tell you nothing about what the movie is about. And I’m assuming most people haven’t read the books. They’re popular, sure, but not like Harry Potter. Most people I talk to have never heard of the series, and if they have, they’ve never read it. “12-year-old evil genius kidnaps a fairy and holds her for ransom” is a hell of a logline. But what I get out of this trailer is “Someone…underground. What does this boy want? Is that an angel?” This could be any YA science fiction film.
-I don’t know. I guess I’m not thrilled with it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still gonna see it. I really do want it to be good. I’m just nervous, is all. I don’t want it to be another Percy Jackson.
the disney plot may wanna change artemis fowl to make him look good but i remember…..i remember the little asshole 12 year old criminal that discovered the existence of fairies and first thing he does is kidnap one and demand a ransom. i remember….
They better make him a little shit. And they better make it good enough so we can get the Atlantic Complex. If we don’t dee Orion whats the point of the series.
i don’t mean to sound fake deep but the reason 2018 felt so long was because we’re being fed what’s trending at such a rapid rate that we literally can’t remember half of the shit that even happened anymore. “Black Panther came out in February!” Marvel releases so many movies a year that we completely forget about the last movie as soon as a new one comes out and it repeats in a vicious cycle. “Tide Pods/Ugandan Knuckles was in January!” The life span of memes have been rapidly declining for years and it’s gotten to the point where the average lifespan of a meme is about 2 weeks and then the next thing gets popular and then that lasts for 2 weeks and it just keeps going. We’re literally losing our sense of time because of our rapid consumption of media and pop culture.
And all that is bc people so desperately want an escape from the stress of worrying about everything they are dealing with or might have too.
