The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Drawing heavily from the theories of literary-genre criticism, film genres are usually delineated by "conventions, iconography, settings, narratives, characters and actors".
- One can also classify films by the tone, theme/topic, mood, format, target audience, or budget.
- These characteristics are most evident in genre films, which are "commercial feature films [that], through repetition and variation, tell familiar stories with familiar characters and familiar situations" in a given genre.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Film genre article was read about 210,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 67: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
