Even years after it ended, Game of Thrones is still considered the benchmark for fantasy world-building on television. Whether through breathtaking complexity or endless mythology, some shows prove that Game of Thrones' impressive world-building can still be beat. The result is a fantasy world that feels endlessly unpredictable, rewarding viewers with something new every time the Straw Hats set sail. There aren't many fantasy shows that can firmly say they created a world that feels this complete from top to bottom. Rather than building breadth like Game of Thrones' world, Arcane's universe is extraordinarily dense, making every single piece of its world feel essential, instead of just expansive.
