Collider Exclusive · 8 questions · 2 minutes What Fantasy world Do You Belong? Middle-earth · Great Line · The Continent · Camp Half-Blood
Choose your magic, your crew, where you want to wake up and who you prefer to fight, and we will tell you which world you really belong to. Four are open to you: an ancient kingdom living through its last good age, an endless sea full of pirates, a continent that pays people to kill monsters, and a summer camp where the Greek gods are very real and mostly a nuisance.
💍Middle-earth(Circles of power)
👒Big Line(One piece)
🐺The Continent(The Witcher)
🔱Camp Half-Blood(Percy Jackson)
01
What kind of power do you want? Each of these worlds runs on a completely different type of magic.
02
Who is traveling with you? No one gets through these stories entirely on their own.
03
Where do you want to wake up tomorrow? Usually the best fantasy is just somewhere you would like to live.
04
How do you make a living out there? Even in fantasy someone has to pay for the horse.
05
There is something in the forest. What do you do about it? These four worlds keep something unpleasant out there in the dark.
06
Who is the villain in your story? The enemy tells you far more about the world than the hero ever will.
07
What do you really believe in out there? Every world gives its heroes one rule and asks them to stick to it.
08
A thousand years ago, how are you remembered? Eight questions in, this is the one that will decide your world.
The Map is drawn The World Is Yours…
Four worlds and four completely different ideas of what the good life looks like. This is where you belong, what he would ask of you, and what you would get in return.
Power cycles · Main video · From 2022
Middle-earth
You belong somewhere old enough that the mountains have names and someone can still tell you who gave them. The middle ground is for people who believe that doing the right thing is worth doing even when it is not ready in life.
This is the only world on the list where doing good is understood as a very long loss, fought at least, by people who will never see how it ends.
You are drawn to grandeur, to white cities and deep forges and the feeling that almost everything you come in contact with is older than your entire family line.
Circles of Power is set in the last good age before everything goes wrong, which gives every quiet scene in it a slightly unbearable weight.
You would take the hard way, and you would take it on foot.
One Piece · Manga from 1997 · Netflix 2023
The Great Line
You want the sea, a crew, and of course no one tells you where you are allowed to go. The Grand Line is the world for people whose main ambition in life is to find out what’s over there.
One Piece has run for decades on one very simple engine, which is a group of people who each want something impossible and have decided to go and bring it together.
You gather people. Your ideal team is a set of misfits who were each suspended somewhere else before you showed up and gave them a better idea.
The world is huge and intentionally offensive, and the emotional split hits the ground harder because of that than in spite of it.
You’d be navigating knowing the map is running out, which is pretty much the whole point of it.
The Witcher · Netflix · From 2019
The Continent
You would rather be feared and useful, than useless and useless. The Continent is a world where the aliens are a direct part of the work and where the people are becoming complicated.
Wizards get paid to do what anyone else does and are resentful of their existence at all, which is a trade off that most people would refuse and you would probably accept.
You are not really confused about which side is good, largely because that question tends to disappoint the Continent.
The best of these stories are not about the fight. They’re about someone with a strict code that’s been circulated over and over again to take care of people.
You would take the coin, finish the job correctly, and be out of town before the story was told wrong.
Percy Jackson · Disney + · From 2023
Camp Half-Blood
You want the myths to be real and unravel in the real world, and you want to find out at around thirteen that you were never as close to normal as everyone told you.
Percy Jackson takes our oldest stories and drops them into car parks and diners, which makes the gods a lot funnier and a lot worse.
You’d be the kid that every school gave up, who turned out to be built for something no one thought of for a test.
The series is really about friendship rather than fate, and it says so loudly every time prophecy tries to get in the way.
Camp Half-Blood is the real fantasy here: a place where what you’ve made difficult for everywhere else is what belongs to you.
