Re: Fantasy is currently the least creative genre

Dunno about least creative, but it's a shame that you can literally do anything with fantasy and it's mostly medieval europe plus magic.

A lot of the problem is more to do with the fact that fantasy fans overwhelmingly want to read that stuff rather than anything more creative.

If OP had made their comment about the fantasy readerbase, rather than the fantasy genre as a whole, I think they'd be a lot closer to the truth.

+1

TBH I can't even suspend disbelief that much. How can a world not ours magically have all the elements of Medieval Europe?

How can a world not ours have men and women, or people who breathe oxygen, or people with two arms and two legs, or sex, or romance, or brothers, or war?

I can't suspend disbelief for any fantasy because every single one has elements of our world in it.

I have more of that problem with scifi where there are too many Earth elements in other worlds. Scifi is supposed to be a more grounded genre. In fantasy, generally, you don't even know whether you're on a different world or an alternate one or what. It isn't as grounded in the same way, so I'm much more likely to be able to suspend my disbelief as long as the world is consistent within itself and sticks to its own rules.
