In my opinion the best young adult series ever written. Even the comic adaptation was great.
They completely massacred the movie however. Casting made no sense, Artemis was a cool surfer kid, and they made root a fucking woman, making Holly’s struggle as the first female LEPrecon officer pointless.
And they tried to combine plot lines of the first three books in one movie, it would have done better as a show that did a book a season for 6-8 episodes a season.

Here is a joke
There was a man driving down the highway and in front of him was a big truck with live pigs.
The truck hit a bump and one of the pigs fell off.
The man saw this and stopped and grabbed the pig (he was ok) and out him in his car and raced off to flag down the truck which was out if sight by now.
On the way a state trooper pulled him over for speeding.
The troopers said, “why on earth are you driving so fast?”
The man said, “this pig fell out of a pig truck and im trying to catch up to it and give the pig back”
The trooper said, “oh, yeah. I remember that truck. Look, there is no way you’re going to he able to catch up to it at a safe speed. Just take that pig to the zoo.”
The man said, “ok sir”
Well the next day the state trooper was sitting in his usual spot on the highway looking for speeding cars when he saw the man and the pig come down the road.
He was so confused that he pulled the man over, even though he wasn’t speeding.
The trooper asked the man, “didn’t I tell you to take that pig to the zoo?”
The man said, “yes sir and I did. But we had such a nice time at the zoo I figured we would go to the beach today”

I hope you enjoyed this joke

I got a penguin joke for you
A penguin's car breaks down and he takes it to the mechanic, who tells him it will be a little while to fix. So the penguin goes across the street to an ice cream shop and has a scoop of vanilla ice cream. But flippers aren't very good for eating ice cream and he gets ice cream all over his flippers and beak. Then he walks back to the mechanic to see how the car is coming and the mechanic says, "it looks like you blew a seal" to which the penguin replies
>Oh no, this is just ice cream

This joke is crummy, or maybe I just don't get it. Is the mechanics referring to the technical problem with the car when he says "you blew a seal"? That would make sense but I assumed he was talking about how the penguin looked like he was covered with cum, which is supposed to be what I realize that the penguin is thinking after reading his response.

I think it's a trope at this point and they have to do it to an extent. I have a buddy who did consulting work on a production about Rome and he immediately starts bringing up problems with the armor being the wrong period and so forth and the director basically shushes him and says
>look man, I know the armor is wrong for the period too, but this is what people think Romans look like and do and talk like and say so if we don't put this stuff in here they'd be confused because that's what it looked like in Spartacus

Heard something similar happening in Spain, and I think in other parts of the world too. Historical consultors are expected to simply give thumbs up and make publicity easier; people love to think that their favorite shows carry some semblance of historicity.

The ending line to that post accelerated it from pretty decent to phenomenal. I can't even tell you why it's so good. It just is. Wherever that anon is now, I hope he understands his contribution to the Western canon.

This is totally conjecture, but I might put forth that the upside down cross came from a more protestant dominated and less religious people in the US who wouldnt be very familiar with more niche catholic symbologies, so an inversion seemed like an obvious representation.

Also, I thought it was supposed to represent a marter who asked to becrussified upside down because he didnt feel he was worth imitating crist so it was an act of humility.
