Generic Changes

Fantasy and Science have often been mutually exclusive terms; if magic fantasy existed in a creation there was no room for science in it and vice versa. Books movies TV series tend to use just one of them. Nevertheless one creation does mix them. Namely the 2017 TV series entitled Emerald City an adaptation of Frank L. Baum`s children`s novel The Wizard of Oz. The novel belongs to the gene of Fantasy. Throughout ages the book had many adaptations. The one mentioned above is interesting in particular. While the other adaptations are created within the same genre Fantasy this one seems to change it for the Science Fiction and present a fresh take on the story. The TV series contains many Science Fiction elements like cyborgs or robot flying monkey but these do not change the genre. My paper`s aim is to prove this namely; that even if the TV series has many Science Fiction elements therefore it seems to belong to the genre of Science Fiction this is just the appearance as a matter of fact it remains a Fantasy creation just as its original source.
