Absolutely, people would just have copied something else that was popular. If the genre was bargain-basement Robert E. Howard imitators we would be no better off. Well, maybe we would. Metal about Conan tends to be better than metal about lord of the rings.

Nah. Western Fantasy would be better off with less hack writers who are not creative. That's the real issue

Some scathing criticism in here. I too think everything humanity has ever produced is bad and every time entertainment of any sort comes into my field of view I spend the length of it vomiting and shaking with rage that some baby dared to create something.

Every friggin' fantasy novelist throws in songs for some reason. I'm reading The Dragonbone Chair right now and it is chockablock full of songs.

bitmap posted:Let's work on a pitch together, I'll animate I had a real Cartoon Network pitch idea about a Tolkien inspired elf. It's called "High School Elf" and it would be a thick line geometric Cartoon (think Total Drama Island or Grojband) about an elf who was switched as a baby to live with a human family in the suburbs. It's like Teenage Robot but fantasy instead of Sci-Fi. Her human sister is a troublemaker tomboy and her love interest (unrequited pursuer) is the normal looking nerd in the nerd club.

I remember years ago hearing about Blizzard bolting a Disney theme park version of medieval China on to their purestrain Western fantasy-derived World of Warcraft, and people who spoke up and said "this doesn't make any loving sense" were shouted down as racists in short defying the Western fantasy tradition is how you get President Donald Trump
