What separates Pop Culture from RC?

[Marco Polo]

wear the philosophical hat guys,

Might be a meaningless question but where's the exact boundary?

In case you make a Harry Potter Character /inspired by card> > > Pop Culture.

In case you make a Bible Character /inspired by card> > > Probably RC.

 

What's the actual difference? is it the time of the character's life? is it the kind of form of literature it's in? is it to what extent is the card based on the character? What makes Ella Fitzgerald less RC worthy than (**)mozart? (despite the obvious gap in genius, both are cultural phenomenon, both were real personas)

(**)mozart as in Melodious Mozarta. as seen in the official game.

Imagine I come up with an Ella F. card artwork that's Yu-Gi-Oh perfect, add a little flavour. that's still Pop Culture, isn't it?

/#thinking too much

Might sound like an idiot I'm not trolling I swear :o

I think that the general meaning of Pop Culture to most people is media. I don't really consider religious stuff to be media. History and fiction are things that the real game uses very often, so that's what I think is the meaning of it

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

For clarification reasons, Pop Culture is for stuff explicitly based on anime/manga/TV shows/comics (you know, like Pikachu, Power Rangers, MLP stuff w/e)

Religious things can go in Realistic; as we have real cards based on certain ideas.

 

(And for the fact we do have some cards with anime girls on them [see Aix], but they can go in RC if you're just using the pic and not explicitly naming them after their character)

 

As for real people, it is somewhat blurry of how we'd classify things [since Melodious have some of their bosses named after real composers]; but can go in RC if you don't explicitly use a picture of said character.

 

(J-Max summed it up nicely though)

Its more to do with the Subject Matter

If you wanted to say make a card of Hatsune Miku, its a Pop Culture name so it belongs there.
However, if you don't know anything about Miku and called her say 'Pop Diva' it would be ore in Realistic.

I know that the boundaries can be crossed fro time to time but if the subject matter is Pop Culture then it needs to be there.
