Fantasay



I've recently watched an anime on Netflix that deals with many elements of fantasy. The anime was called Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. This has many elements such as magic, prophecies, and mages and wizards. The example I will use is Sinbad. He uses many of what we call Djinn Requips. Djinn Requips are when a person who possesses a Djinn, can physically fuse with a human being.

Sinbad has 7 Djinns. Below, will be some pictures of him in his various forms.

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Review

The book had filled in a lot of holes that were missing in my heart. For example, I love how they made Edmund the innocent, naive child and Lucy the one who makes the first discovery of Narnia. But, I noticed a parallel between Narnia and England. The Witch is like the German Army, who goes around inducing fear in Narnia which is England. I picked it up as soon as Aslan explained to the children that she wasn't the rightful ruler of Narnia, which also compares to the Germans' behavior at the time, believing that they were the superior race. The Witch personified Hitler. Think about it. Their behavior was similar, if not, in fact, the same. This book fulfilled all of my desires and is truly a great read.

Martian Chronicles Review

There were a lot of tropes in Martian Chronicles. An example of this was the Bee Gun. In that, it was actually a Death Ray but in a sense it was like a portable Death Ray. Another example of the was when the Second Expedition came to Mars. That was like a First Encounter. Of course, the aliens didn't believe them that they were from Earth and didn't respect them as much. Also, they don't have any cooks but they do. I mean, thye have the hot dog stand so they kinda do cook. I mean, this book wasn't giving me something that I found was missing in Dandelion Wine. That was suspense, adventure, the gruesome action of blood, guts and eyeballs. I felt like that was missing a lot. What I leanred is that science fiction is really weird and it has its own surprises.
