"Single-handedly"...

"Single handilly" doesn't mean anything.

And your alleged evidence that fantasy films are no more would be, what? We have Maleficent, Mistress of Evil. We have His Dark Materials HBO series. You choose 2 movies, one of them 14 years old, the other 13 years old, and claim they “single-handedly” killed the fantasy movie genre. It’s pretty hard for a duo to do anything single-handedly. Moreover, Wonder Woman is indisputably a fantasy movie; her powers are magical. Hell, comic book movies are are much fantasy as they are science-fiction. I submit that Aquaman is fantasy. The “science” behind them is crap. That jackass Stan Lee went on record as saying that he relied on mutation in his comics because he was too lazy (read: stupid) to concoct a better reason.

Stick with Quentin. There is more to Fantasy and Faerie (look it up) than sword and sorcery, and wands and wizards.

Not for nothing , ABC/Disney had a very successful 7-year series run with Once Upon A Time, which began 2 years before Eragon and ran till 2018. I admit that it really should have ended in 2017.

Sad, but true. After this and "Golden Compass," the number of big-budget fantasy films really tapered off for a long time. I was also bothered by the fact that this was yet another case of "huge book squeezed into a crappy 2-hour film" scenario. Unfortunately, at the time this was made, nobody had come up with the idea of "turn gigantic books into tv series' yet." "Eragon" actually wasn't that bad of a book, but again, they had to leave a lot of the story out, simplify it, rush it, and portray the various characters in ways the author probably never envisioned.
