The "this sub-genre is better than that one" comes when some people forget that what they like isn't an objective truth What they should be saying is "this sub-genre fits my tastes better than that one" and a lot of the unnecessary conflicts would not come up

I love how discworld literally helped people come to terms with death. Viewed it less as something scary and more as an inevitable comfort. Fans with terminal illnesses genuinely sent letters to the author explaining how his depiction of death made them less scared, how they hoped he was as kind.
@KingsandGenerals
If anyone is looking for a unique urban fantasy, Russian author Lukyanenko can be an interesting option. Most of the books in his World of Watches series are available in English.

When Daniel said “dragons that are important.” and my mind screamed Eragon. I really felt that

Magic realism is s genre that adds magic or fantastical elements to a realistic setting and usually deals with exploring the culture of a society. It was really popular in Latin America in the 20th century and it's most known authors are Latin American like García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Isabel Allende, etc. Great video btw.
@JMTgpro
Daniel, magical realism is Sanderson's antithesis. It is where fantasy has no rules beyond serving as allegory. Where the fantasy is part of the ordinary to the point of being ignored. Example; One Hundred Years of Solitude. The "guilt" of a character for being indirectly responsible for the death of an enemy, is shown in the narrative as a ghost that simply inhabits his old house, where a character returns from his death just because he considered it boring. Where the knowledge of the death of a son reaches the mother when the blood of this son travels from a house through the streets, crossing an entire town only to reach her feet. Anyway, it is magic without rules that only follows a figure similar to fables, that is, fantasy is used to explain everyday or cultural things (Human guilt, love, fear of death or rejection of the idea of this, mother's instinct). And I say that it is Sanderson's antithesis, because in fact it is common in this kind of story that when there is a character who tries to "learn" magic, he is condemned to live in the ordinary.

Star Wars is science fantasy is the Hill I will die on. People need to stop calling Star Wars science fiction. It just isn't.
@alvarosager9206
For alternative history, and I guess also dragon fantasy, I cannot recommend the Temeraire series enough. It's a reimagining of the Napoleonic wars, with the addition of an air force of dragons. I'm obsessed.
@TK_Creative_Studio
Would be cool if you did a video focused on the Asia sphere fantasy genre. Things like Transmigration, reincarnation, Isekai varieties and cultivation.
@solomonheppner
The best way to describe genres and subgenres is this. (Sub)Genres are to stories as # tags are to instagram posts. Overlap is garenteed, improperly placed labels are more prevalent than not.
@NyxNovaStar
The message of this video holds true...genre doesn't matter. One of my favorite book series growing up was The Infernal Devices. In itself it can qualify to fit in, steampunk fantasy, vampire fantasy, dark fantasy, YA fantasy, gaslamp fantasy, fable fantasy, low fantasy, and many others I can't even remember. Most stories in general cross genre in some way, and in fantasy thats often brought to an insane level as people can take influences from thousands of sources, some even unconciously.

"In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only war." Love that Warhammer 40k birthed a whole sub-genre.
@ryanratchford2530
It's probably because of critical role but i like it when a main character has a flintlock, but i prefer the world not to have guns because i guess i prefer pre-gun combat for armies & worlds
@NovaCyr
Some recommendations: Erotic fantasy: Kushiel’s Dart series Portal Fantasy: Mordant’s Need Fantasy Military Fantasy: Warcraft, Starcraft series Dark Fantasy: The Talisman by Stephen King & Peter Straub, a (previously) one-off novel that blew my mind. Dragon fantasy or alternate history fantasy: The Temeraire series (a reimagining of the Napoleonic wars - with dragons).
@ordowaid.2665
Magical Realism is an entirely different thing than what you described. Look Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Haruki Murakami, Sulman Rushdie etc. It has nothing to do with Mistborn.
@janossandor6517
Young Adult fantasy: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - The Little Prince Man... that story always drives me to cry. It's stated to be a children book or not even a book just a tale, but in my childhood I didn't get it as much as I'm an adult now.

What a fantasy way of saying having sex for the first time, “having their first lay” Love it
@vincentfox9267
Dark fantasy doesn’t have to explore the dark side of the human mind. It’s a mix of horror and fantasy.
