my comment
Interesting points. well done. I like ivanhoe. Good point, gawain and the green knight has more in common with narnia not lord of the rings when it comes to a real setting that interacts with the fantastic. I get your point. Folklorism needs to be stated more often. Good points, dragons/elves/magic women with items are not confined to european medeival. You convinced me, fantasy is the genre, not medieval fantasy. 18:56 good point the problem is the way in which history books assess history. 19:57 good quote, people didn't go to sleep ancient and wake up medieval. As i say, the roman empire didn't die when most think it did. 22:55 funny 23:14 great point, technology doesn't arrive at the same time everywhere. 24:31 good point on using communication methods as a determinent. 26:52 good point inhow in east asia, they are talking about who is running things, in that case, 28:47 good point, most people in europe durin the time called the middle ages had a greater religiosity than most fantasy novel labeled medieval have. 32:04 funny how he went from constantine to the ottomans. 35:54 what about european fantasy as a label for lord of the rings/song of ice and fire or similar. 39:23 yes more finesse is needed in how people construct history 43:17 great point , thousand of years and now tech change 45:58 thank you, some wars are inevitable 46:04 great point cause george rr martin once said, what about the orcs how are orc children. so Song of ice and fire is historical fantasy while lord of the rings is fantasy based on multiheritage folklore 53:03 hmm good points, using time or who is in charge is a better label
