<br>‘Artemis Fowl’ Is a Master Class in How to Botch a YA Fantasy AdaptationSo, you want to adapt a young adult fantasy novel into a movie? You saw the commercial success of the Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and Twilight franchises (combined box office gross: $5.6 billion domestically, [LOVELY CHEERLEADERS](https://citoyen.auxerrelacommune.com/read-blog/31111_4-what-attracts-viewers-to-adult-themed-roleplay-secrets-you-never-knew.html) roughly $15.5 billion worldwide) and thought you’d snatch a slice of that lucrative pie?<br>

<br>Well, the good news is that in addition to the examples of those three success stories, there are a whole host of negative examples from which to learn. (Included in that host of examples: a movie actually titled The Host, a widely panned Stephenie Meyer adaptation.) It’s just as important to know what not to do as it is to know what techniques to emulate.<br>

<br>In that vein comes Artemis Fowl, released straight to Disney+ last Friday after nearly two decades of developmental difficulties and studio transfers. Based on Eoin Colfer’s 2001 best-selling book of the same name and directed by five-time Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh, Artemis Fowl might be the most befuddling entry in an oft-befuddling genre.<br>

<br>The movie is bland and confusing, and misunderstands the appeal of the book on a fundamental level. Here are 10 ways to mess up this kind of movie-and prevent it from following the Potter path in the process. The title might as well be Artemis Foul. But at least the movie offers some lessons, in the tradition of hapless YA adaptations, on how not to convert a popular book to the screen.<br>

<br>1. Make the main character generically bland with few discernible character traits.<br>

<br>Humankind is not alone in the world of Artemis Fowl; creatures of legend-fairies, goblins, dwarves, [LOVELY CHEERLEADERS](http://39.100.237.43:3000/aliciagadson51/lovely-cheerleaders2058/wiki/Why+Does+Adult+Cheerleader+Content+Feel+Playful+And+Love-How+They+Are+The+Similar) and trolls-exist as well, hiding underground for millennia for fear of being discovered. In the movie, one such fairy kidnaps the father of Artemis Fowl, the eponymous protagonist, and threatens to kill him unless the son delivers the Aculos, described as "the most valuable fairy treasure." Artemis concocts a plan to recover the device and enlists the help of fairy Holly Short and dwarf Mulch Diggums, who help save his father and deny the villain the Aculos.<br>

<br>That’s standard genre adventure fare, with a standard genre protagonist. Artemis is a smart but lonely boy who finds himself thrust into a magical world, then quickly adapts to and masters his new surroundings to defeat the villain.<br>
|
||||
<br>Except that’s not what happens in the book. He’s not a wide-eyed neophyte but an active explorer who discovers the fairy world’s existence all on his own, and who interacts with them not to save his family but to manipulate them to his own selfish ends. There, Artemis is not a traditional protagonist, but rather a children’s antihero.<br>
|
||||
<br>Differences abound between the two characters. In the book, Artemis’s sick mother is a crucial anchor to his humanity, as he must balance his criminal scheming with caring for her; in the movie, in true Disney fashion, she’s dead, mentioned only once in an early expositional aside.
