Has any other genre ever decayed as quickly as fantasy has? When was the last time you saw a good fantasy movie?
>>220122062Fantasy is a garbage genre purely because of D&D and RPG autism.
Sup.
>>220122194Built for Big Mimic Cock
The attention you get from making this thread on /tg/ over and over isn't enough for you?
>>220122194The slice of life aspect is comfy and familiar classic fantasy, and the merciless racism is based, but the story is lacking severely.
I hear you're a tiefling now, Father.
>>220122253The story about how you cant walk the same road twice and to live life in the moment is beautiful.
>>220122062>take a genre mostly enjoyed by white/asian nerds>add negroes, lesbians and trannies to it>completely goes to shitMany such cases
>>220122194I dropped the manga as soon as it became clear it was another>immortal/ageless protagonist but instead of doing anything interesting with that the story will take place in the same tiny window of time making that fact irrelevant except to dress the character with le tragic backstory muh friends all die manga for the umpteenth time
A knight of the seven kingdoms? Or does it require magic and elves to be that specific subgenre of adventureslop?
>>220122397Wow, it is nothing like that at all. The core of the story is nostalgia. You can't step in the same river twice and you need to appreciate things in the present while you still have them. It is honestly quite beautiful.
>>220122062Why is modern western fantasy so extremely gay?
>>220122062I mean, Fantasy has always been about escapism so it's understandable we'd see a resurgence in both cozy fantasies about having sex/friends/money and traditional corny Tolkien white hats vs black hats stories as we enter the decline period of the American Empire.
>>220122452You just described what I said but while sounding like a homosexual
>>220122468Because homosexuals feel alienated and they feel the need to escape from a society that persecuted them for being different.
>>220122483I didn't know having media literacy made somebody gay.
>>220122194>>220122253 >>220122313 >>220122452amaze amaze amaze! SEXOOOOO! i love elfs so much.
>>220122495>>220122468send them the east then. they can write movies for yemen one piss TV.
>>220122447>adventureslop?go back
>>220122447>movieThat show does seem good thoughbeit
>>220122062Whilst I initially liked Critical Role for what it was, the fanbase around it have honestly ruined the D&D brand for the worse, because it became another thing for the LGBT psychos to destroy.
>>220122468gay/trans hit the nerd community like crack.
>>220122678The good thing is, like crack, you can tell who's on it at a glance
>>220122194>tranimego back
>>220122062Both looks gay but on the different spectrum of gayness
>>220122194/thread
>>220122062the bottom one looks like fanart, is it used by any actually fantasy piece of media?
>>220122517>I didn't know having media literacy made somebody gayYou must be new
>>220122671I liked Critical Role, Heroes and Halfwits, and the Funhaus one that was literally just improv with dice. I’d listen to them when I had a particularly soul crushing job and they helped me not kill myself. I tried to get into D&D for real but it was all gays and unwashed neckbeards and I felt out of place as a /fit/cel
>>220122194You think fantasy anime hasn't fallen off?
>>220122807standards basically disappeared when hobby moved to online. say what you want, but actually being at the table in-person with other people affects how much of a jackass you can be.
>>220122810Berserk unironically ruined a generation of fantasy fans by making them look up to a lead whose disabled blacked cuck
>>220122807Had a similar issue when I wanted to play, went to one that did games locally, walked in, looked at the people then walked away. Only way you can do it is with your normal mates, but trying to set that up is just impossible.
>>220122810No. I unironically think Frieren is maybe the best anime made in the past decade.
>>220122810It's more that "traditional western fantasy" has always been just a niche in Japan.
>>220122807that's the thing. they're entertaining shows, but poor representation of actual tabletop roleplaying.
>>220122194PureFuckingKino.
>>220122495>their setting of choice is based on a time when being gay was severely punishedhow peculiar.
>>220122886>established to have biological mechas>this is never used in any meaningful waydunbine just wanted to have mechas in a fantasy setting
>>220122194JRPG slop. This sucks balls. I'm tired of vestigial video game mechanics in stories. Learn to write you gay ass MMO faggot losers.
>>220122062The problem with Fantasy is people think Fantasy means "like dungeons and dragons" so everything and I mean everything in the genre is derivitive as hell. Nothing in it is particularly fantastical which is why the greatest inovation in the space was becomeing edgy with violence and rape with grimdark stories. The whole genre is fucked and deserving of the ridicule it gets. Go to a book store and just walk down the fantasy section and count the number of swords and dragons you see. Its hilarious.
>>220122062The Dungeons and Dragons movie that released a couple years back was the last fantasy movie that i fun watching so that one.
>>220122864Same thing happened to me. I also dropped a philosophy 101 class in college after showing up the first day and counting at least 5 video game t-shirts
>>220122062shoulve gatekept harder
>>220123947We need to go back to the pulps.
>>220124067You can’t gatekeep in the online area like you could before. Zoomers and Basedlennials will always eventually find your hobby and ruin it with a 5 hour long video essay about it that gets 1 millions views on YouTube, attracting the normal dregs to the hobby.
>>220122731>Anime in MY fantasy thread!?
>>220123947Like you said the issue is fantasy draws from other fantasy. It's all very incestuous and has been for decades.
>>220122062Getting the same gay incel vibe from both pictures desu
>>220122550>>220122731 >>220123384here's your heterosex fantasy which had more sex than your mom. >>>>>>>/a/287739827
>>220122062>>220122108Reminder this genre is called cloakshit.
>>220124263Truly, the same group of sexless nerds are still the primary consumers of these products, its just that now some of the fat autistic nerds are less ashamed of being gay and cringe due to internet poisoning. The trans weirdo of today is the same as the quiet ponytail weirdo of 20 years ago
I think D&D flopped at the box office, but it seems generally well liked, even around here, and will turn into a cult classic.
>>220125313>cloakshitHaha that's breddy good
>>220125404Wasn't the first D&D movie and wasn't the best one either, just nothing special overall
>>220125493Sure, D&D isn't exactly new.What's the best one?They're doing a Neverwinter Nights one now I think.
>>220125554>Neverwinter Nights onethey should do A Dance With Rogues with maximised grapes and XXX-rating and banned in pro-woman cunts like USA and soul-corea.
>>220122062I recently watched Momoa´s Conan and Kull the conqueror. I originally avoided those because Arnie was the only Conan i was willing to accept but now that i´ve given these a chance i just can´t go back. Both were pretty good.
>>220125703
Right-wingers are just mad because no one wants to invite them to their D&D table anymore, and any campaign they try to run invariably sucks ass
>>220122062
>>220122840There are like four transition-adjacent people in this picture
>>220128055This is a youtube shorts skit that got left in the script for a show.
>>220123994That was actually pretty good, despite the slight tinge of woke shit. At least they had the good sense to treat a fair bit of it with humor.
>>220128055I guarantee you that an Indian wrote this scene
>>220122062Now do a "then and now" for fantasy in television & film. Or would that reveal you're full of shit?
>>220122062>fantasy then : a rag-tag group of hardened adventurers focus on their mission to get the job done and level up and gain power>fantasy now : crippling intense anxiety over who gets to claim the futanari elf first and not to bungle up the pronouns of the team by accident
>>220128357Thanks, Grok.
>>220128055>oh no red alert it's an emergency, we're under attack, there's debree everywhere!>where is twinkle toes???>trail of bloody footprints leading to sick bay>>220122471My fantasy is one where blue hairs don't lie to children and wait for the opportunity to report any lack of enthusiasm for their degeneracy to HR orcs.
>>220124263>>220125351Embarrassing beardfat opinion. Fantasy used to be masculine and empowering. Now it's trauma dumping with faggot sex.
>>220128394>Arnold on juice is masculine
high fantasy that has no established rules or order always flops if not taken from a literary source. it’s why dungeons and dragons movies fail, they have no purpose or theme. now look at say the original Mortal Kombat. it doesn’t address how or why people have magic, but instead focuses on the utter importance of the tournament, grounding the universe for the audience with a single reason to watch.
>>220128436retard
>>220128357>fantasy then : corpo produced characters made to sell books that don't represent actual players>fantasy now : player made stories and characters put in the spotlight
>>220122274kek
Conservatives in the '80's:>D&D is satanic!!!Conservatives in 2026:>D&D is too gay(this is satanic)The more things change, the more they stay the same
>>220128541the latter is correct though
For me, it's Jun Suemi.
>>220128525>fantasy now : magic wheelchair representation
>>220128541>things change over timeFirst time experiencing this?
>>220122744Frieren is trash, retard.
>>220128514>look at my clean-shaven, muscular, naked man swinging his sword >SO MASCULINE! >written and directed by John Milius, a Zionist JewKeking.
>>220125952Do Red Sonja (the new one) and Deathstalker (also the new one) next.
>>220128579No it isn't
>>220122062>before: nerds doing nerd shit>after: improv comedy group of theaterkid faggots being theaterkid faggotsCritical role and ita consequences, etc.
>>220122810Witch hat atelier anime on air Dungeon meshi second season in worksNigga this is a golden age of fantasy anime, those two are arguably the best of the genre
>>220122062The most offensive part is black people clearly hate high fantasy and fantasy in general and also have no imagination but they're always put in it to check a diversity box
>>220128055>"regulation footwear is a requirement">"I don't like wearing them if I don't have to"do these people even read their own scripts?
>>220122062I do find it funny how queers looked at the fantasy genre and identified with the evil deformed creatures like goblins and orcs
>>220128680>>look at my clean-shaven, muscular, naked man swinging his swordAs opposed to your dirty, twink, BDSM-faggot swinging his butt plug?>>SO MASCULINE!Uh, yea, being handsome, fit, and dangerous is masculine. Yea.>>written and directed by John Milius, a Zionist JewBased on the writings of Robert E Howard, who was decidedly NOT a jew.Go back to jerking off to Spic Fuentes and his commie-slop streams.
>>220129906lol bootyblasted
>>220130079>nonresponseThanks for proving my point.
>>220122194Foot slut
>>220122062accepting that the faggification of fantasy is the norm is the same as giving up, watch and read stuff that appeals to you, ignore stuff that doesn't, simple as
>>220122810I absolutely adore the visual style of RoLW, and have avidly tried to collect the manga and any old cell art I can find.But even the OVA is a poorly animated slideshow. Epic design, great sequences and minimal animation, mostly due to the high detail on some of the characters.Baldur's Gate 2 or Black Company in this visual style would CRUSH the ragged troonslop farts that people s o y p o g over today. Unfortunately zoomies and alpha are mentally brown glob people, and the last people that were at least partially humans with souls, will die with the sad cowering refuse of Millenials.And all we'll have of the Adventures Of Poopjeed Ramsasquan Ancient Native Japanese Ethno Enricher Projectile Sharting Into the Face of the Last Dying Japanese Pensioner SAAR.
>>220122062I don't remember.
Its because in the 80s scrawny white guys were the losers who needed escapism from bullies, but now it's transexuals and woke kids
>>220130379Ah yes, because anything anyone does is to escape being bullied. Much like the nintoddlers who played Nintendo to escape from being bullied and called faggots, right?
>>220130422I don't think it's controversial to say fantasy is a means of escapism
>>220122062The same neckbeards who played like in top pic trooned out and now they're playing like bottom pic.
>>220129906Definitely not mentally ill.
>>220122194I'm so glad I never got into tranime.
>>220130379I think it's less about needing escapism and more about how pnp rpgs got popular and publishers started smelling money.
>>220122108DND was fine before leftists milennials got a hold of it and made it their safespace for all their gay marxist fantasies.
>>220129673dungeon crawl nonsense anime is not fantasy
>>220122846Try that again in English, Visajeet
>>220128170
>>220132211How is it not fantasy?
Right-wingers have become too curmudgeonly to enjoy things
>>220122194This show genuinely sucks and just exposes what brainlets anime fans actually are.
Why do right wingers pretend to give a fuck about a thing they used to demonize and shun?
>>220132898Because now that thing is popular and cool, so right-wingers need to pretend to be interested in it or else they might appear "uncool"
>>220132751>People enjoy something>Get mad at this>Infiltrate it>Change it>Ruin it>Run it into the ground>People don't like it any more>"F-F-Fucking rightwingers! Your standards are too high!!!"
>>220132898>Why do leftwingers pretend to give a fuck about a thing they CURRENTLY demonize and shun?Although there's all sorts of questions I could ask you freaks that about other equally baffling behavior. Such as>Why do you chop your own dicks off and pretend that this makes you a woman?
>>220122062Sci-fi and arguably faster
>>220122108This.
>>220132898Why do you need to pretend you didn't cry about dark elves having slaves or anything else that wasn't wholesome chungus bullshit.
>>220132898Why do leftists and their corporations constantly make up shit?
>>220122846Guts sissies...our response.
>>220128525>fantasy then - corporate made settings and characters that appealed to a mass audience, and the fans were able to imagine how to use the setting or characters in their own games >fantasy now - corporation makes settings and characters that appeal to the shareholders, also decides how people play with the setting or characters by themselves
>>220132898Why do people pretend that “rightwinger” doesn’t actually mean 2005 liberal?
>>220133730I don’t look up to Gatsu. Gutsuru is 23 years old.
>>220122062>>220128170what is it about sidecuts specifically that gay fantasy artists always need at least one character with it?
>>220124067You can only gatekeep so much when multinational investment management corporations hold the purse strings of humanity and decide to start a culture war.They ultimately didn't give a fuck if those companies went to the wall as long as they served their purpose of creating division.
>>220133978As gay as the op image is, the bottom example is literally fanart for real characters played by people.
>>220122231
>>220122807you're tranny coded btw, kys
>>220134827Who cares?
>>220134909You’re literally as bad as a troon going on about eggs, anon.
>>220122517>I didn't know having media literacy made somebody gay.No, but being a tranny does.
>>220122810Fantasy anime didn't disappear, it just changed.
>>220135419this is scavenging semi post apoc anime with biopunk elements not fantasy
>>220128170amerimutt fantasy is disgusting
the only non-book, non-comic masterpiece of fantasy is berserk tv show from 1997, everything else is 8/10 at best
>>220122062I watched LOTR on Saturday
>>220135473That's just fantasy with extra steps.
>>220122062>Has any other genre ever decayed as quickly
>>220135587Naw lotr and the first Disney Narnia are masterpieces
>>220122194YWNBAW
>>220135770lotr is godawfully directed movie with great casting and set design and it gets worse as the series goes on which is saying a lot since it starts with sauron deploying a tactical nuke
>>220135862Naw they are kino even if with some of the odd changes and schlocky action. Fellowship alone mogs the berserk anime which doesn't even get to the meat or the story
>>220135292wrong
>>220122062It started when they brought in those woke tranny freaks in to fantasy settings.>>220122194Worst flavor of the month character ever.
>>220128541>t. gay satanist
