redirected from Main.AdventureSeries alt title(s): Adventure Series In media, an adventure is a story with the plot focusing on an adventure. It is one of the oldest types of stories, dating all the way back to oral tradition. The adventure novel itself is also one of the earliest genres of novels. Adventure stories feature relatively flat characters who undergo risk and danger.
The most common format will have the hero meet a girl (or a boy, in more modern incarnations) after enduring several trials, be torn apart, and then reunited after more adventures. Morality is often very black and white, plots very linear. The Heroes are generally not formally involved in law enforcement but often find themselves battling evil and/or criminals while Walking The Earth. Vigilantes are common.
Perhaps the most famous adventure novelist is Jules Verne, whose novels are alternately treasured and butchered by Hollywood.
In visual media, it is similar to the Action Series but with less emphasis on violence, fighting and car chases and more on exotic locations, exploration and puzzle solving. See also Adventure Game. May overlap with Crime And Punishment Fiction, Speculative Fiction, and Western.
A recent sub trope is the Nineties Adventure Show.
