Magic Realism	comment	Magic realism is a story that takes place in a realistic setting that is recognizable as the historical past or present. It overlaps with Mundane Fantastic. It has a connection to surrealism, dream logic, and poetry. In Magic Realism, events just happen, as in dreams. Tchotchkes telling the heroine what to do (Wonderfalls) or the ghost of your father showing up at odd intervals to offer personal and/or professional advice (Due South). Or perhaps it's just a quirky vibe that infuses the environment (Northern Exposure, Twin Peaks). "Magic realism" is sometimes misused to explain why a favorite work is literary fiction and thus somehow superior to genre fiction like Fantasy and Science Fiction. On the other hand, the inclusion of well-written magic realism into the canons of Lit Fic is historically well supported, as Latin America's major 20th-century authors mostly wrote in this genre. The literary world outside of Latin America so closely associates the region with magic realism that the McOndo movement (for which see below) exists chiefly to prove that not everything literary that comes from Latin America involves magic and angels. Also, the way that religious and horror fiction are distinct enough to be distinguished from fantasy even when they fit its basic definition of containing unscientific elements, the same is true for magic realism. One Hundred Years of Solitude, Midnight's Children, and Beloved are defining examples of magic realism. Rule of thumb: Say there are vampires in New York. If most people do not believe in the existence of vampires, but the protagonists finally realize that they are real, it's Supernatural Fiction. If the existence of vampires doesn't shock anyone, but the fact that they're vampires is constantly being pointed out, it's Urban Fantasy. If a cop's partner is very pale, very strong, generally acts odd, and come to think of it, he's never been seen in daylight, but the story focuses primarily on just a Police Procedural or the interpersonal relationships, it's Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane. If the cop just goes through his life as a cop, but his partner is a vampire whose ID has "vampire" printed next to his eye color, who's greeted by cheerful children in the street who are more fascinated by his shiny badge than by his teeth, and who casually drinks blood in plain sight out of transfusion packs during coffee breaks, it's a case of Magic Realism. From another perspective, it is possible to interpret many non-fantasy musicals by definition as magic realism, since spontaneously breaking into song with invisible accompaniment gets taken as a perfectly normal thing, although there are a few exceptions where the incongruity is lampshaded, such as in Enchanted. (See Musical World Hypotheses for other interpretations.) Or the singing could be taken as just a symbolic representation of the characters thoughts and speeches and not at face value over what they actually said. If the unnatural events happen in only a couple of episodes in an otherwise grounded series, like say a Dom Com, they can lead viewers to exclaiming How Unscientific!. For when it's ambiguous, as in Kafka's The Metamorphosis where the protagonist has either actually turned into an insect or just gone insane, see Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane and Unreliable Narrator. Compare/contrast with Like Reality, Unless Noted, as well as Low Fantasy. noreallife

One of the main characters is an ageless immortal with water manipulation abilities who is all but stated to be a goddess, and both sides of the war fight to use her to their advantage.

Brennan meets him at the end of the episode without knowing who or what he is. Then in a more recent episode the story is viewed from the perspective of a victim's ghost. Avalon, Angela's psychic, appears to be more than just deluded. She has made several uncannily accurate guesses about Booth and Brennan's relationship and about the victim in one of the Institute's cases. Temperance has a near-death experience in which she encounters her dead mother. Not magic, but the episode with a dead UFOlogist ends on a very creepy note.

However, the story has a girl with unnatural strength (able to bench press 220 pounds at the age of 12 with an age appropriate frame, also able to single handedly take down multiple armed thugs single handedly) that goes almost uncommented on. Also, similar to the Zero Escape games, there are alternate timelines depending on Date's decisions, and to finish the story, he has to remember events from other timelines. However, this similarly goes mostly uncommented on, with Date just be vaguely confused about the information he's "remembering".

After death, he's resurrected by a lightning bolt and becomes an outright super-Zombie. Then the series leans more and more into the fantastic, randomly introducing Psychic Powers, turning Jason into a body-switching demon, landing him in a space-based future with androids and bionics, and finally pitting him against a demonic fiend who dwells in dreams. Material outside the films suggested it was a supernatural series from the start. The first two movies mostly fall under Early-Installment Weirdness and the later installments went to Serial Escalation.

Magic Realism / int_2cd28570	comment	Serial Experiments Lain might fit into this category better than Science Fiction. Among other things, it seems that dead people go to (or through) the Wired after they die, computer equipment can grow like vines, and the physical reality is as much "data" as the computer-world and can likewise be programmed by gifted individuals. It's perhaps the only cyberpunk or science fiction-ish narrative to convincingly do so. The reason why Serial Experiments Lain might be an example of this trope is because it basically deals with the digital world merging with the real world, thus creating a hybrid where the rules of this reality don't apply. The problem with this theory is that people do seem to take notice of the change; one guy even shoots himself in the head because of it. Perspective is everything. Lain's point of view perhaps flips towards Urban Fantasy in the end, but Alice's remains in the field of Magic Realism.

Magic Realism / int_2d01f8dc	comment	Beavis and Butt-Head occasionally did this. For example, the Morning Wood Fairy turned out to be real in "The Mystery of Morning Wood," and the Roman god of feces, Sterculius, is revealed to exist in "Peace, Love, and Understanding." Mike Judge, whose subsequent series King of the Hill is arguably the most realistic series in the history of western animation, views the aforementioned episodes as an Old Shame as a result of their fantastic nature, and neglected to include them on The Mike Judge Collection DVD sets as a result. Daria, a Spin-Off of the above, also swung into this territory at times. Usually a satirical but realistic take on high school and 90's society, it also featured a Bizarro Episode where holiday spirits come to town, as well as a Musical Episode. "A Tree Grows in Lawndale" ends with the crutch in Tommy Sherman's memorial growing a flower, and "Legends of the Mall" implies that Helen may have been attacked by Metalmouth. There are also a lot of scenes where minor characters will appear in two places at once, switch places or show up in flashbacks where they don't belong. It's become a fandom joke that these "animation errors" are actually signs of supernatural activities.

It turned out to be because she had melanoma that reached her brain, though it was never stated whether or not it was just a hallucination or it was because he was trying to warn her. It seemed like a bit of both. There was another episode where Meredith has a near-death experience (seeing three dead people, including Denny), at the end of which she encounters her mother (who is dying at the same moment in another room). As soon as she wakes up, she announces that her mother is dead before anyone else can tell her.

Magic Realism / int_3ec5b7a6	comment	You could make a point for House of Leaves as Magic Realism, but however you cut it, it sure has a way of straddling reality and unreality. On one hand, the events of the innermost story with the Navidsons and the House is definitely and directly supernatural in nature, and the characters in it all react as you'd expect real people to respond in such a situation (i.e., freaking the hell out). On the other, the second layer of narrative, Zampano's essay on the Navidsons' film, plays this up by choosing to focus on the characters, their psychology, and the larger themes while treating the paranormal events as just something that's happening. And then on the other other hand, you have the uppermost story of Johnny Truant annotating Zampano's paper and journaling his life, where it's unclear what's happening thanks to Johnny's worsening Sanity Slippage and/or gleeful lying to the reader to fuck with them, but things generally settle to a middle ground on the magic with supernatural things maybe happening or maybe not. The additional layers of narrative â€” like the editors and Pelafina's letters â€” are all over the scale.

Magic Realism / int_49729b9c	comment	Halloween (1978) could otherwise be considered a mundane Slasher Movie, but features a super-strong, seemingly-unkillable villain who is heavily implied to be the Boogeyman himself. The sequels lean even heavier into this, as Michael Myers shrugs off injuries that would kill any mortal man, and more or less seems to be more force of nature than rational human being. Michael is even more of an enigma considering he is the only one who demonstrates such otherworldly traits. Regardless, all anyone cares about is killing the Shape rather than understanding what he is. The few who are interested in this never come close and swiftly die at Myers' hands. Of course, the series itself has so much Canon Discontinuity that it's very difficult to come up with any consistency. Only the first film is canon across all continuities (bar the third) and the films that explicitly state Michael is a supernatural being are most certainly not canon by now.

It's shown at the beginning of the film that "Ted" was initially the subject of Human Interest Stories (and religious mania) and enjoyed 15 Minutes of Fame, but then everyone moved on and he faded into obscurity (save for a Loony Fan who's still obsessed with him after all these years).

The original Metal Gear Solid title featured a collection of Charles Atlas Superpower bosses, the Ensemble Dark Horse of which was a floating, fourth-wall breaking psychic. Later games would expand upon this with a steady increase of Magic Realism. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots dabbled with Doing In the Wizard, but official Word of God is that Vamp was still immortal in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Ocelot was possessed, but had the arm removed and started faking possession instead.

Just a realistic story about young stage performers going to acting school; oh, except for the secret elevator to an enormous underground automated theater, where a talking giraffe conducts an audition to choose a "top star" who will receive a vague and probably supernatural reward. The magical side of it is an elaborate fourth-wall-breaking metaphor for the behind-the-scenes aspects of stage performances (and the Takarazuka Revue in particular) so it never gets any in-universe explanation, and the characters rarely suggest that there's anything strange about performing spontaneous swordfight-musicals to win recognition from a giraffe.

Magic Realism / int_6920713d	comment	Shortpacked! is an interesting example. The previous webcomic by the same author, It's Walky, was straight-out science-fiction adventure about a group of alien-abductee government agents. Shortpacked exists in the same world, but in a much more mundane setting — a toy store. Thus, the elements that took center stage in It's Walky are pushed to the edges, and the genre shifts to magic realism. Since the weirdness does have a canon explanation in The 'Verse, just not in that series, it's more like All There in the Manual. Except replace "manual" with "the entire archives of several previous comic strips".

However, is also filled with fantastical things like cannibals with sharp nails and silent skills, tough huge guys who can survive explosions and blood loss and multiple gunshots, grotesque people who look like they're made of clay and mud or outright monsters, prostitutes with warfare tactics, supernatural Ninja women with ancient training, deranged mad scientists and more, all drawn and set in a high-contrast black-and-white world with occasional splashes of color. None of this is explained, and when it is explained, it defies logic in many ways; in fact, a lot of the events depicted in the series are taken at face value, as if this is just how things work in this world every single day.

Magic Realism / int_7dbde88b	comment	Drake & Josh is a standard teen sitcom set in early 2000s San Diego, CA, USA with no supernatural elements whatsoever, but the Please Dump Me episode "Mean Teacher" centers around a very real Good Luck Charm (a shirt) whose effects are too extreme and too perfectly timed to be explained away as coincidence. The boys accept its magic as real and (successfully) plan how to use its magic to solve their problems of the episode. (Naturally, it's lost once the plot is resolved to prevent it becoming a Story-Breaker Power.)

None of the other wrestlers question this or even seem bothered by the fact that they are sharing a locker room with an apparent supernatural being. This was later worked into his gimmick as Taker got older and his body couldn't keep up with a rigorous schedule, working (at best) a few months out of the year. It's now explicitly stagecraft; the "power of the Undertaker" is his ability to awe through his mere presence, and being the most long-running performer to still look good by his own merits.

When you boil it down, Lost is the story of some seriously dysfunctional people who get stuck together, forge some real connections, figure out how to survive in a hostile environment, become better people and eventually let go of their issues. This story just happens to take place on an island that's been known to move through space and time, can heal people, and is home to ghosts and people with immortality (among other things).note And just so you lot are clear, there was absolutely nothing magical or supernatural about the polar bear.

Except for the slightly surreal Season 4 finale, where Jeanne is implied to see the Angel of Death, in the form of a small child. At the end Jeanne mentions the girl and is told that it was a girl who was lost and whose parents were looking for her, so it seems like this is subverted, but then we see the girl... and she looks nothing like the one Jeanne saw before. Plus Gibbs' infallible instincts. And his ability to get a boat out of his basement. Be fair, no one really knows for sure what happened to the boat. He may have simply broken it down and started over. Both this and his instincts are justified by Rule of Funny. In one episode, Gibbs has a near-death experience in which he encounters dead friends and family.

The setting is realistic modern Tokyo except for the weather, which is vaguely supernatural and influenced by "sunshine girls" and "rain girls" who can clear or cloud the sky, respectively. We only meet one of the former, who received her powers though a mysterious incident where she was drawn to a sunlit shrine on an abandoned building, but a surplus of the latter supposedly caused the recent overabundance of rain. How their powers work is never explained beyond implying that god(s) did it (she clears the sky by praying). The climax of the story, where she gets "taken into the sky" in exchange for restoring normal summer weather, and her friend/love-interest prays his way into the otherwordly sky-dimension to save her, works heavily on dream-logic. Everyone in the city literally sees her in their dreams when she disappears.

Usually a satirical but realistic take on high school and 90's society, it also featured a Bizarro Episode where holiday spirits come to town, as well as a Musical Episode. "A Tree Grows in Lawndale" ends with the crutch in Tommy Sherman's memorial growing a flower, and "Legends of the Mall" implies that Helen may have been attacked by Metalmouth. There are also a lot of scenes where minor characters will appear in two places at once, switch places or show up in flashbacks where they don't belong.

On a lesser note, characters sometimes have successful premonitions of danger, like the Action Girl does in the first episode before the titular character is poisoned. If that's not enough, Magic Kaito takes place in the same universe, and the bad guys are searching for a specific jewel that may make a person immortal, and there is an actual witch as a recurring character who outright confirms that there are other witches as well. Other than that, it's a pretty straightforward mystery series.

Interestingly, there may actually be an explanation for it. Rhett Lamb almost never slept, and Hai Ngoc hasn't slept in thirty years. It looks like this can be caused by odd, rare medical conditions, though it's certainly fantastic.

The main cast includes anthropomorphic animals, a talking gumball machine, an immortal yeti, a guy who looks like a lollipop, a green man, and a ghost that gives high fives. Theyâ€™re all treated as normal people who just happen to not be human. Weird, supernatural things constantly happen, but theyâ€™re similarly often treated like expected hazards or otherwise not uncommon and through it all, the series is pretty much a Slice of Life show until the Myth Arc becomes more apparent later on.

Magic Realism / int_a28b92ae	comment	Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon makes use of the trope as a tribute to Chinese wuxia cinema, which often features characters pulling off seemingly supernatural feats in otherwise mundane action stories. The film is ostensibly a simple period piece about a group of Imperial bodyguards in the Qin Dynasty who get roped into a battle over a valuable sword, but practitioners of the Wudan school of martial arts are frequently shown to levitate and fly during action sequences—which apparently isn't just a stylistic decision, but is occasionally tacitly acknowledged (in one scene, for example, Li Mu Bai stops Jen from flying away by grabbing her sword). It's also left deliberately ambiguous whether the Green Destiny is just a mundane sword, or if it's imbued with supernatural powers that make the wielder more formidable in battle.

Magic Realism / int_b05d40f	comment	Sister, Sister was a standard suburban teen sitcom with the only odd sections being when the girls would address the audience during the intro. However, a handful of episodes featured strange elements. One episode had Roger stealing an ancient artifact from a museum that would attract women to him. Another had Cupid showing up and causing people to magically fall in love with each other. In another episode, Lisa encounters the ghost of Ray's dead wife(a plot point played mostly for drama). Coupled with these elements, a few of the shows' wackier, inexplicable and seemingly out-of-place gags(such as Roger running away and leaving a pair of smoking shoes behind, and Tamera doing a Wild Take that's straight out of a Tex Avery cartoon) begin to feel like a combination of Rule of Funny and this trope. Evidently, the Sister Sister universe is just like ours except for some fringe supernatural elements such as ghosts, love gods, and the ability of some otherwise normal people to occasionally display Loony-Tunes-esque abilities!

Its sequel/spinoff The Suite Life on Deck also had a ghost as well as mermaids, the Bermuda Triangle and a sentient computer. Jessie had the title character possessed by a ghost in one episode. Hannah Montana had a Back to the Future type plot with Hannah and her brother going back in time to when their parents met. While A.N.T. Farm is, aside from the occasional flirtation with Weird Science, realistic, the Halloween episodes feature an Alternate Universe where Chyna is a Gorgeous Gorgon, Olive is a big headed Mad Scientist, Angus is a zombie and Fletcher is a vampire. This became canon in the third season episode when the mutants crossed over into the regular universe via a dimensional portal.

For instance, when she is preparing a wedding cake for her sister's wedding (to the protagonist's own beloved), she weeps into the icing, and her sorrow causes everyone who eats the cake, except her, to cry and then vomit. In another chapter, her feelings for her beloved are infused into a poultry dish, which her (other, unmarried) sister then eats, causing her to literally burn up with passion — she goes to use the outdoor shower and ends up setting it on fire before a soldier of the revolution rides by on horseback, scoops her up, and they have passionate sex while riding away on the horse.

Except there's an evil sword of supernatural power out there that everyone wants to get a hold of. Oh, and there's a good counterpart up for grabs as well. Not to mention the golem, the lizardman, the demon-hunting ninja, that Greek woman who keeps getting visions from Hephaestus, the scary black guy who claims he was born in Babylonian times, and not just one but two people who may or may not be vampires. To the series' credit, they're used well, but they're more played up with each title: the very first game was basically the real world with a few low-key fantastical elements, while V arguably leaves this trope and ventures into the realm of High Fantasy. Not to mention the times Link and Darth Vader showed up.

However, there are some episodes with weirdness that may or may not actually be supernatural. In "One + One = Ed", reality starts to break down around the Eds before revealing that none of the weird things they saw had happened and it was just their overactive imaginations... all three of theirs. In "Hand Me Down Ed", a boomerang flies into the cul-de-sac and magically inverts the personalities of everyone who touches them. In "Sorry, Wrong Ed", an allegedly cursed phone plagues Eddy with acts of misfortune whenever it's answered, Edd convinced that it's all one big coincidence.

How this happened, or why Beloved is as old as she would have been, is never discussed. The ghost in the opening sequence (implied to be the same character as Beloved) would also qualify. Toni Morrison's earlier novel Song of Solomon is also a good example. Aside from being the fairly mundane story of a dysfunctional middle class African-American family in 1960s Michigan, there's a persistent folk tale about an ancestor of the protagonist who may or may not have discovered the power of flight, a woman who crawled out of her mother's womb as a baby and was inexplicably born without a navel, a few albino animals that mysteriously show up at weird intervals, and one secondhand story about an encounter with a ghost.

The existence of spirit channelers also leads to Phoenix owning a magical Lie Detector artifact, and to a few cases where spirit channeling was directly involved in the crime. While spirit channeling is generally discounted in the story, this is because of a highly publicized incident where the police tried Interrogating the Dead and got testimony that incriminated an innocent man, which embarrassed the police out of trying it again. If Phoenix tries to argue that a channeled spirit couldn't have committed murder (which is true in this case because said 'channeled spirit' was alive the whole time and there was a conspiracy to fake the channeling) because spirit channeling doesn't exist, all Franziska has to do is present a single photo to prove him wrong. After that, on the rare occasion that someone is channeled in court (and it's not Mia), they're generally treated like any other witness. The other two main lawyers, Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes, have abilities that at first seem like another bit of magical realism, but in reality are purely scientific or at least sci-fi. Apollo's bracelet tightening when someone is lying to him is explained as his family having a hereditary trait where they're hypersensitive to unconscious tells; the bracelet just fits his arm perfectly and so pinches him if his arm tenses up- which he subconsciously does when he spots a tell, which serves to alert him that he needs to consciously focus on something. Athena has hyperacousis, and one side-effect of her extreme sensitivity to people's voices is that she can hear hints of emotion in their tone. Her 'Widget' just serves to dampen her hearing in normal life so she doesn't have to wear earmuffs all the time and to present the information she's hearing in a visual format that she (and players) can easily interpret. Spirit of Justice introduces the Kingdom of Khura'in, an entire country based around spirit channeling to the point where the royal family (or at least the women) are all expected to be spirit mediums, and a major part of the country's judicial system is a specialized channeling called a Divination Seance (performed by Princess Rayfa) that shows the deceased's last moments... and which is significantly less reliable than said court system would hope. One character who remembers their court system before it went completely crazy notes that attorneys and prosecutors used to argue over what divination seances meant like any other piece of evidence. In fact, the Big Bad is defeated by proving she's not a medium and thus unfit for the throne.

The tone is entirely realistic except various characters have divine visions (after the ingestion of hallucinogens) which convey information about things happening elsewhere, and sometimes share and interact inside said visions.

Magic Realism / int_ee109ef0	comment	The Riddle of Master Lu is set in a slightly alternative-history version of our world before the Second World War, but it contains the very literally unlucky Romanov Emerald, and the whole plot is set around the search for the Emerald Seal, which by the sound of it has magical powers that could help anyone become a dictator somehow. The protagonist Robert Ripley doesn't seem too perturbed by the idea of something being magical, in fact he takes it for granted about the Seal, and seems convinced an ancient tower where human sacrifices were committed is literally haunted, even though there is no evidence for this other than a very oppressive atmosphere.

However, the show can always fall back on the fact that Ted has been established as an Unreliable Narrator, leaving it unclear which events happened exactly as described and which have been embellished or misremembered. Also, a couple of Season 5 episodes have Marshall seemingly time-traveling as minor elements.

Mostly it's a deeply-researched and intricate simulator of medieval Europe, India, the Middle East, and surrounding areas. But every so often, you'll encounter things like The Antichrist rising, the Necronomicon, and characters questing for, and sometimes achieving, immortality. All of these are mere texture in the ruthless politicking of dynasties and nations, however.
