Television

A lot of anime, actually. Japan green lights anything, and some of it actually works. Most anime has stupid ideas that, if you give them a chance, actually works. Like “what if we take X-Men and the idea that 80% of people are normal and 20% have power and flip the script?” My Hero Academia. The fan base has turned toxic but the show is still great. Or “what if alchemy actually worked?” Neither Fullmetal Alchemist adaptation is very good because of how they adapted the books — the first one did the first half then went their own way because they caught up, the second one sped through the first half then dragged out the second half — but it’s still considered top tier anime. Not all of them hit though. Like “what if guns were smart and decided if they’d kill when you pull the trigger?” Or “what if a portal opened over the middle of the ocean to fairy land and cops had to pair up with faeries for reasons we’ll get around to explaining when we feel like it.” Psycho-Pass and Cop Craft, respectively.
