The story was lame and the graphics mediocre but damn if that combat wasn't fucking great. Damn shame we're never getting a sequel.

Didn't Conan start as a series of novels, making it more /lit/ than /co/, or am I confusing it with something else?

haven't read that one, I'll have to take look at it.
Also, shouldn't Hellboy be considered High Fantasy too?

I was gonna say Hellboy but that is technically based in our world.

Adventure Time?

Tumblr aside, I think it fits, high fantasy and deepest lore, as well as magic.
>>
Unsounded, the webcomic would be a good fit though I don't feel like it's big enough to claim as "/co/'s go to".
>>
>>78714201
What is the difference between High fantasy and Sword and sorcery?
>>
>>78717088
In High Fantasy magic and the supernatural is viewed as common, whereas Sword & Sorcery could also be viewed or actually be an offshoot of Low Fantasy, where magic is rare, dangerous to wield and/or be considered entirely alien, like the Chtulhu Mythos for example

i thought the difference between low and high fantasy was that high fantasy takes place in wholly fictional worlds while low fantasy takes place in "the real world".

LOTR is high, but Harry Potter is low.
>>
>>78717240
So He-man would be Sword & Sorcery?
>>
>>78717449
nah brah, wiki for the lazy
High fantasy is defined as fantasy set in an alternative, fictional ("secondary") world, rather than "the real", or "primary" world.
The secondary world is usually internally consistent, but its rules differ from those of the primary world.
These stories are often serious in tone and epic in scope, dealing with themes of grand struggle against supernatural, evil forces.
In some fiction, a contemporary, "real-world" character is placed in the invented world, sometimes through framing devices such as portals to other worlds or even subconscious travels.

Low fantasy stories are set either in the real world or a fictional but rational world, and are contrasted with high fantasy stories which take place in a completely fictional fantasy world setting with its own set of rules and physical laws.

>>78717472
He-Man occurs in a fictional world, the characters are above your regular Joe, magic is recurrent, and if memory serves me right I remember there are portals to other worlds, so I'd say it goes on High Fantasy

For /co/ films

I know, all they do on /v/ is talk about SJWs and shit, dont you hate that?

I mean i go to a videogames board to talk about Videogames, not see how much the SJW boogeyman is making you angry.

They arent going to take away your games, its so annoying that /v/ is so full of cis male white virgin racist misogynists.

Science fantasy. Specifically He-Man is a second-gen sword and planet - Queen Marlena is explicitly from Earth. She-Ra is a planetary romance. It should be noted that they're neither high nor low fantasy, they're heroic fantasy.
>>
>>78720564
Yeah, I thought about it and saw that this genre was the most exact one, gave off a John Carter-esque feel
>>
>>78720621
She-Ra is interesting in that Hordak is almost exclusively technologically based despite being a sorcerer.

Cerebus the Aardvark is the greatest High Fantasy story told in comic form (admitedly, I'm not too familiar with Euro comics)
Then there's Bone if you want something more mainstream; also honorable mention to Mouse Guard

For cartoons, I can only think of Avatar (there's Wakfu but that's also based on a game)
>>
>>78714156
Don't be ridiculous. Those are video games.
>>
The Fell's Five series of D&D comics is not only /co/, but amazing, fun fantasy and the strongest recommend I know.
>>
>>78714006
Fables, Mouse Guard, Order of the Stick, Adventure Time, Dungeon and Dragons the Series, Thundarr the Barbarian, Red Sonja

Of those, Fables and Order of the Stick are probably the best examples. Mouse Guard is also fantastic.
>>
>>78719634
But every game after DA:O is shit. Dragon Age doesn't even have that good lore, Origins was only good because it was a good RPG with some decent characters, the lore in General was always generic. Since the sequels lack any of that they're complete shit.
