The reason LOTR is mine is cuz of the HUGE backstories for everything. It seems like a real lived in place in an age long ago. Absolutely love Tolkiens work. Love your channel from Canada ❤
100% this - the depth of the backstories and worldbuilding goes so far, it feels like something you could find in any history book if you decided to take a look. It's so inspiring! Thank you so much for watching, I appreciate it!
I really enjoyed your video and your point of view on the subject. I’ve always believed that for a good world building you must create layers of lore which are some ways all connected to each other. That is the exact reason why after lord of the rings I’ve been considering the Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls and Guild Wars’ worlds to be one of the greatest fantasies.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! And I totally agree - good worldbuilding takes a lot of thinking and consideration on all kind sof details, and who knows what aspects of that world's history and lore might come up and be relevant later down the line. I haven't gotten into Dragon Age and only a little bit of Elder Scrolls so far, but I do love Guild Wars, started playing 2 since the beta and totally fell in love with the world!
My favourite fantasy world is Tamriel from The Elder Scrolls. I played Morrowind when I was a kid in 2002 and I was fascinated by how alien the land of Morrowind was with its volcanoes and multiple moons and some of the otherworldly buildings, yet it still felt 'normal' and like somewhere people could actually live. And I remember thinking a few times "I wish I could live in this world"
That's awesome, I really liked Tamriel too from the little I've played of it! It's amazing how alien fantasy landscapes can really capture our imaginations like that. Maybe I'll have to dip into Elder Scrolls Online again sometime, and experience that magic again :D thanks so much for watching!
Yes, exactly! I think fantasy at its best can be an amazing mirror to human issues. Some of our best stories come from trying to process our own thoughts and feelings, and those are the stories are the ones that stick with us for a long time. Thanks so much for watching 😄
I think Frank Herbert’s Dune has my favorite world building. The story can trace back to earth, but Paul Atreides isn’t born for thousands of years beyond our own time. And he leaves a planet similar to earth, only to realize his full potential on a planet that has nothing in common.
That's awesome, thank you for sharing - Dune is another one of those universes I'd really like to take a deep dive into. And I love the idea of that potential lying outside of earth/the character's home planet. Got to put aside more time to read this!
I enjoyed this video! For me How to train your dragon really captivated my entire childhood as I was a lot like Hiccup and ofc the dragons were amazing! The music score is also something I still listen to
Yes! How to Train Your Dragon is a great example, I absolutely love those movies and the world behind it. You make a great point with the music score as well, it's so important when it comes to the movies and TV shows we watch. It informs us on how to feel and really translates the emotion of whatever scene or moment you're watching! Even better if it's a score you keep coming back to :) thank you so much for sharing, and for watching!
Awesome, I've heard so many things about how great the world and character building is in Avatar. It's another one of those shows I've been meaning to get into for ages. Maybe now's the time!
@@TenMinuteWorlds here is a quote from a letter by Tolkien to W. R. Matthews: "The ingredients in Quenya are various, but worked out into a self-consistent character not precisely like any language that I know. Finnish, which I came across when I had first begun to construct a 'mythology' was a dominant influence, but that has been much reduced [now in late Quenya]. It survives in some features: such as the absence of any consonant combinations initially, the absence of the voiced stops b, d, g (except in mb, nd, ng, ld, rd, which are favoured) and the fondness for the ending -inen, -ainen, -oinen, also in some points of grammar, such as the inflexional endings -sse (rest at or in), -nna (movement to, towards), and -llo (movement from); the personal possessives are also expressed by suffixes; there is no gender."
@@TheDoomload Amazing, thank you for that! As if I needed another reason to love the way language construction works, even when it comes to fantasy languages 😭
Love your content, but if I can make a suggestion? The volume of your recording needs to be raised. You're incredibly hard to hear. I had to put my volume to 98 to hear you. I'm here for all the Tolkien, though!
Yes! This has been brought up elsewhere, and I’m working on getting a better audio level and balance for future videos. Thanks for that, and for watching - looking forward to seeing you in the comments section! :)

Yes I love how fantasy can explore the most human issues in a way that helps us understand them on a deeper level.

Great content and analysis. Edit was really good; however, the audio leveling and mastering is really quiet. Great format for a channel!
Thanks so much for watching, and for the feedback! I'll see what I can do about that for the next video :)
Avatar, the last air-bender did a great job. Shared history that feels consistent makes it feel real, even more than cultures.
Awesome, I've heard so many things about how great the world and character building is in Avatar. It's another one of those shows I've been meaning to get into for ages. Maybe now's the time!
One of my most favorite from childhood as well, but looking back it’s super pro eastern religions, and over the top feminist propaganda.
Mordor is Birmingham
Accurate 😂
Tolkien's elvish language, Quenya, is very much influenced by Finnish
Very cool, I can see where the similarities might be between them. Do you have any sources for that? I'd be really interested in reading up!

The only correct answer is Tom Bombadil
They left him on the cutting room floor :(
Tom Bombadil is never the answer, he was brought up and rejected at Rivendell
Hyrule
Yesss, nice choice! Love a bit of Zelda
@TenMinuteWorlds I'm guessing you heard about the zelda movie coming out. I really wish they can get peter jackson to direct it
Nice video and channel! Very interesting to listen to you, cheers!
I really appreciate the kind words :) thank you so much for watching!
