Is Fantasy really a genre or just a bunch of stereotypes and tropes? Shouldn't Fantasy be more than elves and wizards and knights? Why do we limit ourselves to these ideas, and where do they come from? Why does one of us despise Fantasy while the other loves it? Kira and Kyle discuss this trope, cite examples of it, compare it to other genres, and think about why this matters.
