American Fantasy has that same thread that winds through American sci-fi like Star Trek, and yes, Babylon 5.I'd say that the whole bucking authority thing goes back to the people that came to America seeking a better life when it was still just the colonies, then to the Revolutionary War. Certainly, though, Vietnam affected the country's fiction as well. How could it not?I dunno, there have been a ton of movies calling on most of the properties I mentioned in the last 15 years:2005: Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe2008: Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)2010: Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader2010: Alice in Wonderland2011: Conan the Barbarian2012: John Carter2013: Oz, the Great and Powerful2016: Alice Through the Looking Glass Even more recently in videogames, there's 2018's Conan Exiles, and this year's, err, Conan Chop Chop. Modiphius just released Conan and John Carter tabletop RPGs. Are these franchises as popular as they used to be, maybe not? They still made millions. They are hardly dusty relics that no one pays attention to (other than older folks like myself).But, I will agree that things are a lot more diverse, with people able to access genre media of all sorts from across the world.</blockquote>
