Summary
The fairies are watching him. They always are. But familiarity breeds contempt, and by now, Artemis is certain that they have built up an entire psychological profile of him, complete with past childhood trauma and attachment issues.
Honestly. He wrote acclaimed books on psychology, and, yet, they think that he cannot accurately imitate any of the mental health disorders they believe him to have. The very notion of it is ridiculous, but the average fairy has never been the smartest of creatures.
Rather like humans, in that regard.
At the moment, they think him to be a rather dull boy. In possession, perhaps, of an inimitable and rare intellect, but a child all the same. A normal child, though one with abnormal intelligence, who feels normal emotions, has normal goals, normal dreams, normal relationships…
Artemis Fowl II has never been normal, not in any sense of the word.
Or: an attempt to reconcile the version of Artemis we see in the movie with the genius of the books, a.k.a. genius!movie!Artemis matching wits with a genius!movie!Opal.
