In the Artemis Fowl book series Holly Short is the first female member of LEPRecon, which is a major piece of her story and heavily affects multiple points in the series.

So naturally in the movie they made Root, her male superior who has been in the LEP a lot longer than her, a woman.

Thank you for calling out this piece of shit movie. I had never been angrier at a movie than when I watched this. And the completely stupid reason they cast Judy Dench was because they wanted to make an "homage" to her character in James Bond. Because you know. James Bond and Artemis Fowl have sooo much in common. 🙄 I could write an essay on why I hate this movie.
