    "Fantasy isn't just a jolly escape: It's an escape, but into something far more extreme than reality, or normality. It's where things are more beautiful and more wondrous and more terrifying. You move into a world of conflicting extremes."
    — Terry Gilliam

    Fantasy: it's stuff with magic in it, not counting Psychic Powers, or Magic from Technology, or anything meant to frighten, or Magical Realism, or anything strongly religious, or the technology behind the magic that is Magitek, or — where did that clean-cut definition go?

    While the core of the fantasy genre is clear enough, there is no succinct definition that encompasses it all. The boundary with Science Fiction is notoriously ambiguous and the boundary with horror is often no less fuzzy. Religiously inspired works, like the Left Behind series, can have a basic good versus evil plotline that would fit well in High Fantasy, but few would place it there. And so on.

    Common features of the fantasy genre include:

    A secondary world — A world whose connection with our present day world ranges from nominal to non-existent. It could be the remote past or future, or simply a-historical. The inhabitants can be anything from human only, or include other species (or "races" as fantasy likes to call them) of intelligent peoples such as elves, dwarves and orcs. See Standard Fantasy Setting for the, er, standard fantasy setting.

    Appeal to a pastoral ideal — Much genre fantasy, of all genres, appeals to the pastoral ideal, one reason for the pseudo-medieval settings. Even urban fantasies will quite often depict cities as blots on the landscape, whose denizens are blinded to what really matters by material ephemera. There are some fantasies, however, which either deliberately take the opposite stance or present a more balanced worldview.

    Magic and Powers — Functional Magic is almost always present, though its role in the world can vary widely. It might be either respected, feared, persecuted, or simply not believed in. Its frequency varies from the stuff of legend, through to rare but available to the well connected, up to a ubiquitous part of everyday life. Magitek usually lies at the extreme end of this scale. It may be taught through a master and apprentice system, or in a magical university, when it can be taught at all. When wizards are immortal, they don't need to train successors, and may not be able to. "

    Outsiders and Hangers-on are the next rung down on the popularity ladder. Generally petty crooks, fencers, forgers, dealers of soft drugs and other people who are on the wrong side of the law but not sufficiently nasty to put off the viewing audience. Expect the really nasty criminals to pop up more regularly, usually as a plot device if the protagonists owe them money/drugs/something else. The outsiders are usually cowardly or otherwise non-violent. These guys typically star in dark comedies.

    See also: The Aggressive Drug Dealer (antithesis)
    Examples: Weeds, Lock, Stock..., Breaking Bad (roughly first half), Ideal.

    Hardcore/Organized Criminals are the least popular protagonists for Criminal Procedurals, largely because they have to be shown to be despicable people in order to come across as being remotely realistic though occasionally they will have their Pet the Dog moments, especially among the more sympathetic gangsters. It's also difficult to play down the crimes that they commit: murder, extortion, dealing in highly dangerous drugs, etc. As a result, such series tend to be very adult in tone and morally complex, and therefore not attractive to advertisers. Where there is humour, it tends to be pitch black. The "Rise and Fall" Gangster Arc is commonly found here.

    See also: The Mafia, The Cartel, The Mafiya, Yakuza, The Triads and the Tongs, Gangbangers, The Irish Mob, Kosher Nostra, The Yardies, London Gangster, All Bikers Are Hells Angels, Bandit Clan, Thieves' Guild, The Syndicate, Generic Ethnic Crime Gang, The Don, Professional Killer, Murder, Inc., Legitimate Businessmen's Social Club, Nebulous Criminal Conspiracy, Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters, Ruthless Foreign Gangsters, Human Traffickers, Gayngster, Loan Shark, From Camouflage to Criminal, Mob War, Protection Racket and Gangsterland.
    Examples: The Sopranos, The Wire, The Godfather (Book and Movie), most of Martin Scorsese's crime films (i.e. GoodFellas and Casino), Scarface (1932 and 1983 versions), Breaking Bad (roughly second half), Grand Theft Auto, Sons of Anarchy, Once Upon a Time in America, Eastern Promises and Guy Ritchie's crime movies (Lock, Stock & Two Barrels, Snatch. and The Gentlemen).

    You quoted the dictionary because you are fucking retarded, that has nothing to do with fantasy as a genre.
