The LepreCon?

Not to be confused with the LeperCon. That’ll get awkward.

There's something funny about this comment, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Actually almost sent my original comment misspelled that way but fortunately noticed it in time. I don't imagine a LeperCon would be fun to attend.

That's because you haven't heard party at the leper colony by Weird Al

The boots are much easier to get back off though.

Costs an arm and a leg to get in LeperCon

Anyone who read the Artemis Fowl books would know it's LEPRecon, for Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance unit. I recall a bit in one of the books where the fairy Holly, a lead character and an officer in LEPRecon, is glad that her standard uniform no longer includes those ridiculous big buckles and funny hats.

I haven't thought about those books in years!

Wonder if it'll ever get a movie

u/amatulic 5d ago

It did. Unfortunately it wasn't faithful to the original novel. Relied on a Macguffin to resolve the plot. Sad.

we should pull a promised neverland season 2 and pretend the artemis fowl movie just doesn't exist

u/satanseedforhire 5d ago

It did, it came out in 2020

u/Axxisol 5d ago

It wasn’t very good unfortunately

u/satanseedforhire 5d ago

Unfortunately, they never are. I think it would make a stellar animated series in the right hands. I really enjoyed the books when I was a kid

What are you talking about? That movie doesn't exist.

u/LostOcho 4d ago

The trifecta of childhood book movies that do not exist.

Eragon. Artemis Fowl. Alex Rider.
