Probably no fap November being described as giving you wizard powers has made people view wizards as incels.

What do you mean? I did not notice it.

They're cliche.

They can't tell right from wrong.

My main guess is that eruopean hermits just aren't popular. It's all cyber this and capeshit that.

Because wizards are OP, OP.

Stop overthinking this, it's been a long time since there was a badass wizard in popular media.
Making a good fantasy character is really hard, because cool powers make lame stories.
Science fiction has it much easier, there is just so much science an technology to draw inspiration from.

Fantasy is dead that is correct. I've been thinking about that for a while.

>>17254
Wizards are a overdone cliche as another anon said and magic tends to be overpowered also scientism among 'nerds' makes them less inclined to supernatural.

When was the last time magic was even involved in fantasy outside of it being some sort of antagonistic force?
I Do see how the antagonism against magic is just a hold over from 3.5 dnd which seems to live rent free in the minds of faggots everywhere despite that edition being the only dnd that was even remotely good (even if it was worse in some areas than the others, at last 3.5 had heights and peaks.)

Harry Potter is still in the public counciousness, maybe we're due for a dark and gritty and realistic Snyder remake

>>17254
Wizards are racist, look up KKK wizard

>>17279
Well when the Amazon LOTR introduces sassy black lady Gandalf maybe wizards will be popular again

wizards have to put in effort and aren't retarded whilst nerds are retarded and want everything on a platter

Modern day nerds have become super autistic about plotholes and having a story that makes sense and is serious. This isn't neceserally a bad desire, but it fucks wizzards in the ass. There is a reason 99% of fiction nowadays has the trope where wizzards are treated like subhumans or something of the sort - its the one trope that works, and no others are really available. The only other thing is making an extra autistic magic system that makes wizzards into scientists with "eh" powers. I'm actually sorta building a fantasy setting right now, and I just decided to say "fuck it" and just have no wizzards because they don't add anything that cool on their own. So I'd say unless you want to make magic a lynchpin of your setting, just don't add it in.

fuck you wizards are rad

I always love how the archetypal wizards were given their powers from genetic privilege, while wizards in games all studied hard in wizarding school.

I noticed this too, the other day I was reading some anime reviews and reviewers were like THE NATURE OF THIS POWER/EVENT WAS NOT EXPLAINED WHATSOEVER LAZY WRITING. I also remember a YouTuber whining years ago about Mad Max Fury Road not giving detailed background to the enemies and creatures moving on crutches in the dark.

For some reason, people don't want any mystery or sense of wonder in their media.
