An epic is a long story centered on a heroic character that describes a series of exceptional events, similar to and suggestive of epic poetry. There are numerous epics in fiction and storytelling. Epics are majestic depictions and capture impressive struggles, such as stories of war, adventures, and other efforts of great scope and size over long periods of time.
Originally limited to literature and theater, epics have expanded into the visual realm with the advent of film. Variants include:
Epic Poem (the predominant form of classical epics)
Epic Narrative (modern literary epics, as well as some traditional narratives)
Epic Movie (more broadly defined, includes film adaptations of the literary epic as defined here)
Battle Epic (sub-trope, when a movie is focused on war or a battle)
Some basic criteria:The Epic is
A longer-than-average story that...
... Is wide in scope (not just one battle or skirmish, but a country-wide/planet-wide/galaxy-wide war or catastrophe) and...
... Follows one hero, group of heroes or bloodline, who...
... Strive to achieve a particular goal or complete a quest, in the course of which they...
... Commit extraordinary deeds and...
... Have multiple (three or more) separate adventures in the course of their quest or journey and...
...The story overall contains majestic themes (such as good versus evil) that typically represent the values of a culture or a nation.
The classic epics had their own guidelines:
Starting In Medias Res, usually later having The Hero explain via Flashback How We Got Here.
In Greek epics, "Invocation of the Muse": formally asking one of the Muses to help the author live up to the task of doing the story justice, or achieve whatever goal they have in mind for it.
Often, a journey to the Underworld.
Can be divided into a few different subgenres. The divisions also come in two flavors, Form and Subject (may be subtropes/genres). Both forms can be divided by subject:
Heroic (one person, may include companions, but focused on the person)
Familial (follows a particular lineage)
and National (follows the history of an entire nation, not common)
This is a distinguishing characteristic of Space Opera and High Fantasy, in that both are the Epic versions of Science Fiction and Fantasy respectively.
Not to be confused with the modern use of the term just to mean "awesome."

Written as an athiest answer to The Chronicles of Narnia, as well as a reimagining of Milton's Paradise Lost, both literary epics in themselves.

Avesta of Black and White: While the Shinza Bansho Series generally relishes in being as grand as possible with each entry trying to one-up the last, Avesta is perhaps the straightest yet with a huge universe spanning conflict of good vs evil following an unlikely group of heroes and their struggle against the seven Archdemons. And it is not just the conflicts that are grand, so are the effects the characters have and the reveals they face as the very structure of the world as they understand it is upended.

Finding Nemo: On the surface, a Road Trip Plot Buddy Picture starring talking fish, this Pixar hit fits surprisingly well into the structure of the Homeric Journey, as Marlin encounters allies, misleads, thresholds and guardians and even trips to the literal-underworld of his ocean world on his grand journey to find his son, and discover himself.

The Dragon Age series follows a large number of (mostly) heroic individuals who, while unrelated, frequently team up and have, over the course of 45 in-universe years that the series covers so far, thwarted at least two end-of-the-world scenarios, started and ended multiple wars, and prevented uncountable smaller catastrophes. The series is also epic in geographical scope, covering a good chunk of the known world, including a massive empire and multiple smaller kingdoms.

Homestuck: After the destruction of their home worlds, several disparate groups of teenagers (eventually uniting into one) are trying to create a new world and stop the indestructible demon that prevents them from doing so.

The Night Unfurls is a War Fic that concerns Eostia, a workable, but flawed country dealing with a Military Coup started by its most renowned mercenary group, the Black Dogs. Escalating into warfare, a group of heroes that fight for the country, Kyril especially, strive to achieve victory against the Black Dogs, not only via the battlefield, but also via rooting out their supporters within the country. In addition, the fanfic is a Continuation Fic of Bloodborne's "Childhood's Beginning" ending, which details Kyril's next Hunt. Extraordinary deeds aside, he has been to some sort of Underworld / Hell prior to the events of this story(the Hunter's Nightmare).

The New Jedi Order: Nineteen books, five years of in-universe time, and a borderline-apocalyptic war that shakes the galaxy to its foundations. It's the largest and most sweeping of any of the multi-book or comic arcs in Star Wars Legends, and its scope is unmatched by anything in the entire Star Wars 'verse with the possible exception of the Skywalker Saga.

Final Fantasy XIV is unique among MMORPGs in part thanks to its stories, with players assuming the mantle of the Warrior of Light as they, along with the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, fight to save the planet of Hydaelyn from destruction. The base game and each expansion focus on exploits in different regions to accomplish this end, starting with thwarting The Empire's machinations in the continent of Eorzea before moving on to resolving the Dragonsong War in Ishgard, liberating the occupied nations of Doma and Ala Mhigo, and travelling through The Multiverse to prevent the total annihilation of multiple worlds, with the 2021 expansion, Endwalker, serving as the Grand Finale of an epic tale over ten real-world years in the making.

Exalted is epic in a modern, bastardized meaning — but it can also be played as a classical Epic. It can be personal, following a Solar and his close friends. It can be national, following a Threshold nation guided by various Lunars who are in a master-apprentice chain. It can be generational, following a lineage of the Dragon-Blooded as they fight various enemies of Creation.

The Myth of Link & Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the first of The Myth of Link & Zelda: Survivors of the Calamity series: Link awakens from a deep slumber in a cave without a memory aside from his name, is guided outside by a spectral voice, and has the unique power of speed. He awakens into an apocalyptic world ravaged by the Eldritch Abomination of Calamity Ganon. He journeys across the vast kingdom of Hyrule, fighting foes and making friends, to find his own past. And once he does, he goes on a quest of combat to help Zelda defeat the calamitous apocalyptic entity once and for all. Has some familial elements because Princess Mipha is the mother of his child, Princess Lochlia, and there are times when both characters fight alongside Link.

Berserk: In a world where fate is controlled by demonic forces, a warrior seeks the cure for his lover's insanity and revenge against the friend who betrayed them in exchange for godlike power. It fits the Heroic epic mold, being a long story about the multiple adventures and great deeds of Guts and his companions. As an added bonus, the manga and anime both begin In Medias Res and all versions include at least one trip to the underworld—or rather that universe's equivalent. It's also famous for its extremely detailed, beautiful art and intense, nightmarish imagery, befitting the sort of epics told in visual mediums.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In a world divided between the four classical elements, two siblings discover The Chosen One who has been missing for the past century; together, they have to go on a journey to end a century-long war and prevent a militaristic empire from conquering the world.
Its sequel The Legend of Korra applies as well. Collectively they form a Generational Epic.

The Legend of Zelda as a whole is gaming's best known and longest running example. The series is an ongoing chronicle of the eternal struggle between the Goddess Hylia's chosen Hero (Link) and her physical incarnation (Princess Zelda, herself) as they perpetually reincarnate to defend the fabled Kingdom of Hyrule from their mutual Arch-Enemy - Gannondorf, who seeks to conquer the realm and plunge it into eternal darkness under his rule.

Mass Effect: The Trilogy as a whole is considered one massive epic, where a Space Marine leads a team of humans and aliens on a mission to save the galaxy from a mysterious, ancient, and devastating threat. It also has loads of sidequests and content that create a vast, living galaxy full of different species and cultures, each with their own traits.

2003 anime: Has the same basic premise but goes in a different direction halfway through. Compared to the manga, it's mainly centered on the trials and tribulations of the Elric brothers, and has a more personal conflict, but it's still quite large in scope, since it involves a government conspiracy similar to the one from the manga, as well as the discovery of an Alternate Universe.

A New Hope (Danganronpa), which is basically Danganronpa if it was an epic. A New Hope is basically an emulation of Trigger Happy Havoc and its setting, but with a larger cast of characters sidelined by an ongoing battle between the Future Foundation and Ultimate Despair, followed by a series of Killing Games that take place in farther regions (space, the moon, an amusement park, a secret island filled with monsters, a train, a desert, and supposedly be followed by an underwater city). Though each of the sagas has different protagonists, the scale of the Killing Games creates a bigger world within the facets of the franchise.

Infinity Crisis: A Massive Multiplayer Crossover of gigantic proportions. The first story was a crossover between the Arrowverse and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (with the Justice League of the DC Extended Universe also joining in near the end) to undo Thanos's Snap, as in this fic, the Snap affected much of the Multiverse instead of just one universe. From this, over 100 spin-off and tie-in stories have been written that feature over 54 individual franchises from various different genres ranging from superhero to comedy and horror, both famous and obscure alike. Various stories have been referencing other future threats to the Multiverse, from the Daleks and the Cybermen of Doctor Who, to Freddy Krueger of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Morlun and the Inheritors from Spider-Verse, and even the Anti-Monitor.

Foundation Series: A galactic-scale Space Opera, taking place over hundreds of years, and Canon Welding causing the history of The 'Verse to stretch over tens of thousands of years. Dr Asimov's Robot Novels depict humanity's mastery of Earth, creating Faster-Than-Light Travel, and spreading out into the galaxy. The Empire Novels depict the transformation of the galaxy into a single Hegemonic Empire. Then it ends with Foundation describing the grand collapse of that galaxy-wide civilization, and transitioning to a second galactic empire. Foundation is essentially a science fiction remake of Edward Gibbon's The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire.

God of War Series: Maddened by guilt and grief, Sparta's Greatest Warrior single-handedly and literally tears the entire Mythological Greece and all its Gods apart with the cataclysmic volcanic fury of his megalomaniacal and inconsolable rage. After exiling himself to Iceland to escape the shame of this apocalyptic atrocity, he slowly learns to redeem his legacy to one of hope and kidness through the love of his son and his newfound friends in the realm of the Norse Gods.

Game of Thrones adapts the first five books of A Song of Ice and Fire, as the last 2 ones are yet to be released. The events of the released books, are almost the same, with the difference that the magic is greatly reduced in the show. The foreshadowed final battle between fire and ice happens in the lasts 2 seasons, with the Night King being defeated once for all.
House of the Dragon is less fantasy and epic in scale than its parent show, but still adapts a continent-wide civil war known as "The Dance of the dragons" from Fire & Blood. It even ads several magical elements that the original novel did not have, such as Aegon's motivation for conquering Westeros being a prophetic dream about the future conflict with the Others and his descendants role in it instead of being motivated by pure imperialism, and a white stag showing itself only to Rhaenyra, implying she is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and not her half-brother Aegon.

Fullmetal Alchemist:
Original: Two disfigured brothers search for a way to undo their mistakes of the past, only to be engulfed in a massive political conspiracy.
2003 anime: Has the same basic premise but goes in a different direction halfway through. Compared to the manga, it's mainly centered on the trials and tribulations of the Elric brothers, and has a more personal conflict, but it's still quite large in scope, since it involves a government conspiracy similar to the one from the manga, as well as the discovery of an Alternate Universe.

Mistborn: The Original Trilogy, twisting the traditional High Fantasy epic around by showing a world where the Evil Overlord won and exploring the consequences of overthrowing that overlord.
The rest of the series focuses on different time periods in that world, making it actually a Generational Epic. The second series-in-the-series is four books in a Wild West-inspired setting. There are two trilogies planned afterwards, one set in a 1980s equivalent and one set in a Space Opera setting.

Child of the Storm: It turns out that James Potter was originally Thor Odinson, on his first run at the humility thing. His son, Harry, finds out about this in his Third Year at Hogwarts, and spends the rest of the school year (and over 820,000 words) adjusting to the new enemies, abilities, and relatives both biological and adoptive that come with it. The sequel, Ghosts of the Past, is now an example of this trope in its own right, ending up over a million words long before the author finally decided to cut the back half of the plot off and post it as a separate story, The Phoenix and the Serpent.

Mistborn: The Original Trilogy, twisting the traditional High Fantasy epic around by showing a world where the Evil Overlord won and exploring the consequences of overthrowing that overlord.
The rest of the series focuses on different time periods in that world, making it actually a Generational Epic. The second series-in-the-series is four books in a Wild West-inspired setting. There are two trilogies planned afterwards, one set in a 1980s equivalent and one set in a Space Opera setting.
The Stormlight Archive: Sprawling saga focusing on a number of key characters across the world of Roshar as it must deal with the return of the Voidbringers and the culmination of a milennia-long clash between godlike forces.

GURPS has a number of potential epics for the Game Master to work within its various Sourcebooks some of which are quite well done. Several are suggested in the sample campaigns. In Vikings one can replay any saga or make up one's own. There is even a mythic campaign theme in which Loki escapes and threatens to bring about Ragnorak before its time. In Traveller Sword Worlds there is 100 Parsecs which is about the journey of a group of Sword Worlders to set up a new civilization in which the Sword Worlder way of life may be preserved far in the reaches of the universe. One can also do the original founding of the Sword Worlds which is an intensely powerful theme. Intersteller Wars is in a way a "national epic" of the Terran Confederation.

War and Peace: A Genre Deconstruction of the typical epic. It's a long, sweeping story about war and the fate of nations, but emphasizes that the traditional genre idea of great heroes whose individual actions change the world dramatically isn't how things happen in real life, with those who think they are such heroes, rather than tools of a complex and unknowable fate and sweep up history, being ultimately pathetic people who pride themselves on their cruelty.

Inception is also an epic in the classical sense. It even deals with a hero on The Homeward Journey. The in-media-res opening, the three adventures, a symbolic journey to the underworld in the last act: it's all there. Christopher Nolan seems to know The Epic like the back of his hand.
