Gerard Westendorp on Nostr: “Lord of the Rings”, “Star Wars”, and “Harry Potter” are 3 fantasy worlds ...
“Lord of the Rings”, “Star Wars”, and “Harry Potter” are 3 fantasy worlds that seem to me to have striking similarities. I put an “equivalence table” in the picture.
But I have notice that the fan-bases of these 3 words are often quite disjoint. I wonder how widespread this phenomenon is. So I thought I’d try a poll. (It is my first poll.)
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to put a picture and a poll in one post. *So I put it in a reply* Also, the poll has a max number of 2 options, I would have like to have used 8.
