Is there dark fantasy at all, as a genre? It seems to me that the article describes a genre in a vacuum, while most actual examples given neither match the description, nor have a lot in common. How Cthulhu Mythos ended in the same genre with Game of Thrones? Where's

Is there dark fantasy at all, as a genre? It seems to me that the article describes a genre in a vacuum, while most actual examples given neither match the description, nor have a lot in common. How \'\'Cthulhu Mythos\'\' ended in the same genre with \'\'Game of Thrones\'\'? Where\'s \"evil empire\" part in either? How\'s \"magic is evil\" in \'\'Maleficent\'\'? Or in \'\'Witcher\'\', where Geralt, Tris and Yennefer use it all the time?

Looks like the description of the genre is itself fictional and is not based on existing media.

And in reality, there seem to be at least two very different genres, both labelled \"dark fantasy\". One, more widespread, is \"fantasy + horror\" (\'\'Cthulhu Mythos\'\', \'\'Pan\'s Labyrinth\'\', various vampire fantasy). The other is more or less dystopian medieval fantasy about Dung Ages (\'\'Game of Thrones, Berserk\'\', etc). Combination of the two is very rare, I can only think of \'\'Solomon Kane\'\'.

Kami clearly says:

Kami clearly says: \"I knew that something was amiss when Raditz\'s soul, after he was killed by Piccolo, ended up in the underworld. Usually the souls killed by demons cannot rest in peace\"

This heavily implies that Piccolo\'s old victims didn\'t make it to the otherworld, because he was still considered a demon prior to that.

It was always established that Kami and Piccolo were once the same individual, so obviously they were the same species. Kami was never called a demon, so logically demon didn\'t refer to Piccolo\'s race.

So you\'re telling me that Dabura and Buu are the same species and can interbreed? Of course not. So more than one creature falls under the banner of \"demon\".
