Anagram 11/14/20 7:45:24 PM #1:	The most famous and popular that everyone on Earth knows about, movies, video games, comics, altogether. I was thinking about this after reading up on Disney's Avatar land, and how it was built in response to Universal's Harry Potter theme park, and how it's clearly not on Harry Potter's level. I'm thinking Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Mario, Pokemon, Superman, Batman, and Spiderman? --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

MetalmindStats 11/14/20 7:51:45 PM #6:	Star Trek is largely a non-factor outside of predominantly English-speaking countries and Northern Europe in general. It's probably on the same level as Avatar, actually, except that those two franchises have different geographical areas of strength. Also, Disney as a brand name is way up there for sure. If Disney Princesses counts as a franchise, it might be tier 1. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people who do." Hylian hits dizzying heights others daren't aim for.

Underleveled 11/14/20 9:59:58 PM #15:	I'm gonna guess that, even in 2020, the average person could tell you more details about The Simpsons than about Pokemon (ie character names, catchphrases, iconic moments/imagery, etc).

So if we're including Pokemon I say we include The Simpsons. Hmm, I may actually take that bet, just because Simpsons doesn't seem relevant to kids at all anymore. Hell, "Is Simpsons still relevant?" was being asked in 2009, according to a Google search, and it's waned even further since. It still probably deserves to be in the discussion, but I'd argue Pokemon has more than eclipsed it both in popularity and ubiquity. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
