Great video, only read the first 4 books so far but I'm excited to read the last 2. Love Usula K. LeGuin's writting so much.

Oh my gosh I remember the first movie!

The original's score is a large reason it still sticks with me.

His hairstyle is pretty cool. ♪

Personally, I'd say it should have stopped after 4, given what we got. The closest that Artemis and Holly should have been was as found family siblings. Shipping them is just weird and wrong. Some of the lines the Artemis Fowl Series and the Supernaturalist make me think Colfer needs some pointers on how technology and modern firearms work. Edti: there was already precedent before this movie of digital only content getting deplatformed. And it has happened since. For all this movie's many sins, it is not alone to blame for that problem. Edit2: That premise for continuing the series doesn't interest me. In fact, I would be inclined to avoid such a release. Over the course of the books, Artemis STARTED as the villain, but eventually became a hero. Having him be corrupted by power regresses him by undoing that progress, and again, him being in a romance with Holly is a bad idea.

"James Bond worthy gadgets" is arguably underselling the tech level of standard issue LEP-recon gear. And it's not really the right vibe. Bond Gadgets are designed to conceal weapons and tools, mostly tools or niche weapons. What Holly is issued with is just straight up tactical gear. It doesn't hide its purpose. It's up to the operator's Shimmer or the transport's stealth tech.

Loved the original Dragonheart film. Pretty cool to see actual intelligent dragons than the usual more animalistic ones ya often get in entertainment.

Any chance of doing Dark Sun or Crimson Skies?

My definition of goth: a post punk, music-borne subculture that focuses heavily on the colour black, pale makeup, black clothing, heavy black boots, chains, piercings, tattoos, etc (although one does not need to have or wear these all the time, or even at all, to be goth) and on the dark and macabre, such as death and death-related imagery and activities, horror movies and programmes, vampires, Halloween, graveyards, the movies of Tim Burton, spookiness in general, the Addams family, the deceased, ghosts, skeletons and skulls, as well as other supernaturals and even animals like bats, wolves, spiders, ravens, crows, etc.

The best Dragon film ever With Dragonslayer!;)🩷❤️‍🔥🐍🐉 Thank you! The sequels are awful, but the second and fifth were funny;)

Well now I'm going to have to watch this video again to reinstate my original hit and feed the algorithm. Not complaining 😊

The original movie was one of my first obsessions as a child! My parents rented it every weekend for months. It's more than overdue for a rewatch, thanks for the reminder! If they're doing a big budget reboot I hope they do a good job with it, the original story is such a good and surprisingly touching one. It could also work as a quality miniseries or animated adaption, maybe with a DnD campaign tie in. Also the sequels look wild, I'm almost certain I saw 2 on Sci-fi Network back in the day

I played it soo much something went bad in the cartridge, and it did what Nintendo does to people who pirate, won't save and locked progression, Yes, it was an official Nintendo cartridge and that happened. Would love to see a remaster

I've got to watch the first Dragonheart movie one day! I ADORE dragons, and medieval inspired stories. My love for dragons all started with PBS show Dragon Tales, but the song Puff The Magic Dragon [it's a really sad song that makes me think of the Velveteen Rabbit] also helped! I'm currently working on a fantasy series about a fox prince who had to go into hiding because of his family's evil advisor and has to go through many quests and adventures before he can return to the throne, and I'd like some advice.

This movie was my life as a kid, good memories. Can't believe I slept on the 2nd one, looks like meme gold. Great video as always!

I have a major soft spot for the ghibli adaptation, even if the plot is clunky, I just loose myself in its visuals and music and love putting it on as background noise while I work on projects :)

I don't know why I thought the name Artemis Fowl came from To Kill a Mockingbird.

The Tombs of Atuan is my favorite book of all time. I have never felt the way I did when I finished that book again.

Can you cover Animorphs?

I do like this book series [it's even been inspiration for me], and I love The Black Cauldron. But the Prydain fans constantly bashing on The Black Cauldron movie while either ignoring or bashing the good parts has slightly soured my opinion of the books. I also didn't quite care for the book versions of Dallben and Eilonwy. Dallben just felt cold [he and Coll didn't even bother to search for Taran during The Book Of Three and Taran Wanderer, and the titular Book of Three is not an excuse], and while I admit Taran did deserve some [key word: some] of her comments in the books, Eilonwy often went too far IMO and I feel like she and Taran should have stayed just friends. And I really despise the ending: where 99.9% of the cast leaves, and magic leaves Prydain. It feels very anti-magic and very much against the fun spirit of typical fiction books. At least with Lord Of The Rings, some of the magic stayed, even if the cast left. Also, am I the only one who thinks the books are very mean-spirited towards Taran? I get he is reckless and makes mistakes, but I think sometimes the stories get really harsh and cruel.

Sounds like the Starseige of books

I've had registration issues with Phoenix as well. Do they have an email for support?

Colin Ferrell as his dad was the best part of the movie

Any updates on Nina?

Yeah... the film SUCKED, it felt more like a CW television series.

These books defined my childhood preferences in books. My user names were based off these characters long into "adulthood". I wish the movie directors/script writters had introduced the true story to this new generation properly!

_"This was way, way, way ahead of its time."_ 4:05 This 1968 book is definitely innovative in a lot of ways, but sci-fi had been for decades engaging with themes of race and challenging racial tropes. Even *Starship Troopers* from the 1950s challenged racial ideas of the time.

Can we all agree that A. Minerva deserves more appearances, but I still like Hollytemis B. Opal Koboi is like William Afton, she ALWAYS comes back. C. Orion Fowl is the goat like to agree 👇

Beat it as a kid back in the day, still my favorite n64 game and easily on my top 5 of all time.

Nothing happened to Goth. I am here, I’m the ultimate ElderGoth. Now if you’d made a video entitled “What happened to the Dodo?” I’d let you off…🙄

Reality of it all i really think that the people who keep asking or saying that the reboot it better have the same feel as the original. Reality of it is thats a %99.9 chance it will NOT BE i mean look at games that have been rebooted for the longest time and all of them dont feel like its predecessor. I had to accept this. After what i saw with the new one i dont know if i play it like i do the last two games But im willing to try it out and see what it feels like and plays like. The only game that feels like this is Goldeneye Re release on Xbox thats the only game thats similar its not an opinion its a fact. Just like Perfect Dark Zero it may be similar but its definitely not the same like the last one was and i love both those games.

Culture has to be flexible to survive, man. It's not confusing to me. I've been a goth since... um.... well. I'm old. I do have to say it's a little frustrating when people label random things as goth that totally aren't. You don't have to live All Things Goth All The Time to qualify. I listen to trance also, fite me lol.

That's a Rebecca Guay painting as the thumbnail isn't it

the series was great until they decided to kill the magic of krynn.

I feel like the Lost Colony had a good starting point for the series, as well as being pretty underrated, the idea behind the demons and imp warlocks were really cool, and in my opinion all the new characters in it were very likable. But the end of the book, everything was different. Artemis had magic, the LEP had a new commander, Artemis has a female friend/future relationshop it basically could've been a new start. But then Artemis loses magic pretty soon in the next book, and it overall was disapointing afterwards. Though I think the last book was pretty decent (I wish the ghosts possessed cooler things) and satisfying end, and some elements of the books after the Lost Colony, like the time travel and I will always love the idea behind Orion.

Dang. You just reminded me I haven't started on that book. Once again sleeping on excellence I intended to learn from

Great video! I will say that the club nights seem to be picking back up post covid. Lots of younger people are going too. Its just harder to find now because so many of our clubs have closed.

Earthsea was one of my favorite books growing up. Right up there with The Alchemist and The Years of Rice and Salt.

I have so, so much to say about Earthsea. What a brilliant set of books, what an imaginative take on fantasy and story, Ursula Le Guin has opened my mind to many different ways a story can be; I've since gobbled up any book of hers I can find (most recently, Lathe of Heaven). On the Ghibli side of things, word on the street is Hayao Miyazaki was a HUGE fan c. 1980's and the series has been a huge influence for him; if you ask me, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind feels like it gets Earthsea more than the actual Ghibli Earthsea did.

I think the stories of (ARTEMIS FOWL) should be made into a cartoon show. If a cartoon show of it, gets made someday; I imagine main boy Artemis, goes from selfish, egocentric, mean jerk, to slowly becoming a genuine good person.

lot of commenters here never actually played the 5e campaign i see. fake fans. its an amazing campaign.

In general, I'm hearing the same thing I learned from Fullmetal Alchemist: it had a lady author, Arakawa Hiromu, and women authors write differently than men authors. That's it! If I had to try and put it to words, I've found that women authors have a kind of gentleness in their stories, and it's like they don't even have to try hard to write characters. Granted, my sample size is Le Guin, Arakawa, and Lois McMasters Bujold (Miles Vorkosigan sci-fi novels), and maybe Rowling...Jane Austen too, now that I think of it, when I was reading the text wall at the 22:00 minute mark. [Edit: we have Twilight and trashy romance novels that contaminate the sample size, so I want to say 'the high-caliber women authors' show the above similarities.]

Whatever happened to Neuromancer? It became reality.

What Ever happened to Artemis Fowl? Same thing as most properties in the last 5 years. Woke zealots invaded, made a movie about it, and tanked the franchise.

There is not enough about Earthsea on KZbin. First the DinoTopia video NOW THIS!? You’ve got a sub.

I *adore* the Earthsea (first) trilogy + _Tehanu._ Book four is where I stopped; as the video says, that seemed like the end. But now I've been persuaded to at least read _The Other Wind._ I think people who were upset by Ged's loss of power in _Tehanu_ were not paying attention to what Le Guin was telling them all along in the first trilogy. Ged is not the main character of a power fantasy. If he's an aspirational figure at all, it's not for fantasy reasons but reality reasons. He struggles, stumbles, fails, and grows up―not as a wizard but as a human being. His status as archmage in book three is symbolic (in Jungian or mythological fashion, if you like) of a man in the prime of his life, at the height of his physical and social power. Then he grows into old age. His powers decline, but they're replaced by other powers. It's natural and not undesirable. Last note: Part of the difficulty of adapting Earthsea to visual media may be that Le Guin often "violates" the truism "Show, Don't Tell". Actually, telling is sometimes the best way to convey information. Sorry if that comes as a surprise to anyone. (This is possibly why the first four books of Earthsea pack more punch into fewer pages than some single entries in some long-winded writers' series.)

Gibson literally typed the book on an old school typewriter... He predicted cyberpunk and so far his predictions are coming true

What happened? Eoin Colfer seemed to fall out of love with his characters 😢

Artemis Fowl was my entire childhood. I remember picking up the first book in my library when I was 12 and finishing it in a weekend because I was so intrigued by Artemis's character. The fact that he was also 12 but he was also this insanely intelligent yet cunning criminal mastermind, was so fascinating to me! And the fairy folk too! I love how we had descriptions for each category. I remember the versions of the book that I got, they had some sketches made by the artist at the back (but none of them really showed Arty or Butlers face because it was supposed to be an interview type thing...Arty lets Eoin Colfer write a book about his adventures and commisions an artist to do the illustrations at the back upon the agreement that his face was never to be shown! How cool was that!!) And the graphic novels were so beautifully illustrated, I remember absolutely devouring them when they came out. I was so obsessed with the series It kind of inspired me to make art (im a digital artist now) and write fanfictions for my friend's to read. One of them was a crossover woth the Young Justice team (also another one of my hyperfixations at the time), where Butler drops Arty off with the team and Artemis makes fun of Arty for having a female name (HER NAME) haha and Arty hits it off with Dick Grayson :) It was weird but I was 13!! I remember the days where people were petitioning to have Nicholas Hoult play Arty as well I really miss that phase of my life Im 26 now, but I cant remember being thst happy and carefree Artemis Fowl really made my childhood and early teens so fun and magical

To be honest, I don't like the fact they used the "Baldur's Gate" as the title for the third game - it's not a continuation, so tacking a new number to it seems pointless and forced. And there's a lot of games that take place in Forgotten Reams, so just the fact it's the same world does not justify it. They could do much better byt not riding the nostalgia train, and coming up with a new title, to open up possible new line of games. Of course, given that Larian now doesn't really want to make the BG4 (and pay royalties to the ever-hungry soulless corpo that Hasbro is) it would be a moot point anyway.
