It’s easy to call stories that favor brutality more mature, and stories without childish in comparison. The plot weaves sufficient tension to draw audiences through its narrative, presenting issues for the characters to overcome, but basing those issues within a surprisingly nuanced philosophy. Fantasies can be about more than self-aggrandizement and dreams of power they can also be about joy and wonder.ĭinotopia is a portal fantasy that asks the question, What would a world where dinosaurs lived alongside humans look like? It’s a charming alternative to more violent high fantasy series, presenting its world as a peaceful egalitarian community. I think we forget this sometimes, in our efforts to make worlds that prioritize excitement and believably. Fantasy is a genre of imagination, one where creators and audiences alike are free to dream up any world with any rules they want.
