supernatural phenomena are essential to
the stories in this shara I’ve brought
you a gift
what is it it’s a crystal welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 fantasy
movie cliches
for this list we’ve chosen the most
common fantasy clichés that are
overused or regurgitated over and over
on the big screen
no you won’t take war hey all that works
for you
number 10 haunted forests I don’t like
this forest it’s it’s dark and creepy
nothing is scarier than wandering into a
creepy forest not that bad I’m not
saying that I can go to summer home here
but the trees are actually quite lovely
for that reason it must be included in a
fantasy adventure and the heroes must
cross it in order to continue their
perilous journey a vendor that forest
I’m not going back you will be rewarded
usually housing medicine creatures or
unknown dangers the haunted woods are
used as an obstacle to overcome in many
instances the spooky forest
is also home to the main villain take
your army to the Haunted boss and bring
me that girl on your dog don’t you like
for the others but I want her alive and
on high whatever the case be prepared to
flee from or fight some dangerous
monsters in there number 9 old English
accents you can fight from everywhere
what a joy what’s the obsession with the
English accent when it comes to fantasy
movies merrymaking in the hole brings
the devil Grendel apparently all people
from mythical lands and fantastical
settings require this accent I am so
happy to meet you how do you know my
name
weather pleasing to thine ears or
shudder inducing depending on who
speaketh the accent has just somehow
become synonymous with fantasy movies I
want my brother back please if it’s all
the same what’s sad is sad but I didn’t
mean it no matter what the conflict may
be there’s one thing that both good guys
and bad guys can agree on ye olde
English accents are the way to go wait I
can defeat them carry on shit number 8
magic spells who look upon her fall on
the harsh mal what would a grand
adventure be without the use of some
magic and so it was Organa gains source
of his most dangerous spell known as the
rising whether it’s to inflict some
damage protect a friend or to help out
with some chores magic spells are a
common cliche found in the fantasy genre
both good guys and bad guys often have
the ability to use magic and sometimes
they’ll duel it out to see who is the
superior spell caster
magic is a staple in fantasy movies
offering inspiring visuals and grandiose
power that makes our imaginations run
rampant number seven different races we
are helping hands
you’re hurting would you like us to let
go when giving life to a fantasy world
it’s a good idea to think outside the
box and create races beyond humans
Dumbledore sent me to parley with the
Giants Giants its thus common to have a
diverse cast of characters from
different races such as elves dwarves
goblins and Giants put me down it’s a
cliche because it works people love to
see how these different types of
humanoid or even non humanoid beings
interact with us humans
as is the case with a lot of these
entries different races can help or
hinder the hero’s path looks like meat
back on the menu boy number six magical
items give it away
patently not spells are always good but
having items with magical properties is
almost a necessity when creating a
fantasy film they can aid in battle here
are some ailment or even help of travel
I enjoy hey guys guys why the long faces
some items are more powerful than others
though mystic artifacts that can grant
their owners enormous power are usually
highly sought after by both the baddies
and our heroes the sorceress stone is a
legendary substance with astonishing
powers Italy transform any metal into
pure gold and produces the elixir of
life which will make the drinker
immortal many times the magical item
will bring about the end of the main
villain or in the wrong hands can bring
about the end of the world one ring two
number five mythical creatures as a big
dragon Oh in addition to different races
it’s a good idea to include some fabled
creatures that don’t exist in our boring
world into your fantasy movie ten
thousand years we’ll give you a such a
crick in the neck
enter dragons unicorns and all sorts of
mythical creatures to interact with our
cast of characters both good and evil
watch this client we’re going jaw a lot
of times the mythical creature is an
enemy that brings forth much destruction
and chaos that needs to be felt by our
heroes other times it helps the heroes
on their journey by providing a means of
travel or guidance but one thing’s for
sure if fickle creatures are not to be
messed with
number four the wise old wizard a wizard
is never late Frodo Baggins nor is he
earn him he arrives precisely when he
means go how is our poor inexperienced
hero supposed to embark on a dangerous
journey without any sort of training or
guidance not to worry
the next cliche on our list will take
care of that well I happen to be a
wizard a soothsayer a prognosticator I
have the power to see into the future
the wise old wizard most likely bearded
Aunt generally in robes usually
possessing a magic staff and wizard hat
will teach any amateur the art of magic
or sword fighting and will also provide
invaluable life lessons and a sense of
security ever put it on for the agents
of the Dark Lord will be drawn to its
power he may sometimes be tough but it’s
only because he’s a father figure who
cares he’s far better off growing up
away from all of that
until he is ready number three the Dark
Lord for every euro there must be a
villain you poor simple fools thinking
you could defeat me
no the baddie can’t just be a thief or a
criminal in fantasy movies the more evil
and menacing the better the Dark Lord
adds the necessary conflict and danger
to the story providing the hero with the
perfect foil they’ll speak only of how
you begged for death a time in a
merciful Lord
applied a god-like figure with immense
power and a number of followers
the Dark Lord usually has his own domain
kingdom or impenetrable fortress with a
goal of conquering the rest of the land
and becoming ruler normally by spreading
fear terror and panic
number two the prophecy the prophecy
says you must find the charr the crystal
sha if there’s going to be a
confrontation between good and evil you
know that there’s a prophecy out there
predicting the outcome a special one
with face of yellow will make the piece
of resistance found from its hiding
French foretelling how the good guys
will triumph and who will be the one to
bring an end to the bad guys reign of
terror the prophecy is a staple in
fantasy movies that is usually said by
some fortune-teller which are some old
hag
I need that prophecy the good guys
usually find strength and hope from this
foreshadowing while bad guys scoff and
generally do everything in their power
to prevent the prophecy from coming true
the prophecy said neither one can live
for the other one survives before we
reveal our number one fantasy movie
cliche here are some honorable mentions
there are markings it’s some form of
elvish I can’t read it there are few who
can since then our land has been ruled
by Galbatorix
he crushed or rebellion including the
freedom fighters known as the Vartan
missus me climb up the crew I see the
pipe of the tree the pipe of the trees
her hands are dead King Edmund just
to the radiant Southern Sun
Queen Susan the gentle
number one that shows in one Hey
she said entrusting you because she
thinks you’re the chosen one come on hey
sorry I’m kidding
the chosen one is our number one usually
orphaned sometimes a farm boy the chosen
one is the only character in the whole
story that is able to bring down the
Dark Lord restore order to the kingdom
and save the world
the chosen one isn’t necessarily alone
to deal with the task at hand there’s
always help to be had usually from the
childhood best friend or the wise old
wizard evil is stirring in Mordor the
ring has awoken it’s a ditch master Oh
however at the end of the day the chosen
one will predictably succeed and be the
sole owner of the title of Savior the
prophecy is fulfilled we are again one
