Fantasy, the age old genre of magic and the supernatural forces. This tells stories of epic adventures with extravagant creatures and characters. This is a favorite of many and will probably never get old since there are still many elements to be accurately and deeply explored.
I am a fan of stories like Percy Jackson (ok i was obsessed with this shit like i wrote fan fiction about this story omg like the worst kind of thing that anyone can write) I have come to reform myself into a more cultured person that likes more than the whole elves and trolls and sword stuff. Fantasy is a beloved genre since it lets you escape your more boring life and escape into this grand saga. Gods and goddesses, undines and wood nymphs, centaurs and unicorns; all are things that I love.
I know that I just said how much of a fan that I was of this stuff, but in reality, I don't really lean towards fantasy things in today's media. Sure, the occasional good fantasy movie comes out. The Huntsman: Winter's War is the most recent one that I can think of. And yes, that movie came out last year. That's how long its been since I've watched a decent fantasy movie.
Games on the other hand; that's a different story. League of Legends (I don't even play that anymore but it was worth putting on the list) Overwatch (More sci-fi than fantasy, but there are still elements of fantasy mixed into there. Such as necromancy, sentient robots, ect.) and Smite (This is also a game that I don't play anymore, but still is downloaded onto my laptop. It has it's moments and mechanical fun, along with it's fantasy element of gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures arriving on a virtual battlefield to duke it out with their many arrays of abilities that allude to specific points and traits that appeared in their mythology.)
