[QUOTE="bogmad, post: 6680775, member: 6695559"] Please no "Kids from the real world thrust into a magical setting" Honestly, it just makes the setting less believable and able to buy into if you've got all these "real world" characters talking about how this matches all the fake stuff they know. It's either "Hey a dragon! Wow, I can't believe it!" [pokes it to believe it, while all of us realize it's just a movie] or else you go the route of zombie movies where nobody recognizes or knows the zed word (unless it's a movie where the bigger point is to remark on the genre, and less about immersion). And if these "real world" characters don't recognize a dragon, I'm just left thinking they're idiots. You can find a viewpoint character in a fantastic setting without having to exit the setting. The only separation from other fantasy movies out there that means anything is to have a good movie. Any other gimmicks or tricks are irrelevant. [/QUOTE]
