dark fantasy sub-genre is typified by a deliberately ominous tone, reinforcing what is commonly perceived as a “gloomy” atmosphere. standard features of fantasy are deliberately intertwined with a sense of terror and dread to create this sinister subcategory of fantasy.
Did you ever come across this comparison between Star Trek and Tolkien Fantasy characters? I do NOT agree with that label next to your picture but considering the Hobbits were the most decent characters in the story and that Aragorn himself bowed to them, I thought that was still very fitting.
My favorite part is that the hobbits and Wesley are labeled as nuisances, but without the hobbits, the One Ring doesn’t get to Mordor, and without Wesley, the Enterprise doesn’t survive the second episode. They’re always underestimating us, and that’s how we keep winning.
I mean, it’s way more accurate to put Q as a Space Nuisance, and Wesley as a Space Wizard, if you watched TNG beyond the first season.
