Land, Sea, Sky: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Land is usually depicted as steady and stable, Sea as unpredictable, and Sky as free spirited. Land may also involve death because of burials, and sky will often be the "king," especially in works created before human flight, since no matter where you are, you're always under the sky. The "sky is king" motif has become less common since flight became a thing, however.

* In the end of ''[[The Silmarillion|Quenta Silmarillion]]'', all three of the eponymous Silmarils are distributed equally across the sky (Earendil's Silmaril), earth (Maedhros'), and sea (Maglor's).

 

* Very common in ''[[Super Sentai]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers]]'' series, such as ''[[Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan]]'' (Vul Eagle = air, Vul Shark = sea, Vul Panther = land). The most important position, that of the [[Law of Chromatic Superiority|Red Ranger]], is usually the one with sky.

** The Hayate/Wind Ninja Academy in ''[[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger]]''/''[[Power Rangers Ninja Storm]]'' teaches these three disciplines, and the three core Rangers each wield one. Interestingly enough, the Rangers that join the team later use different abilities altogether (the next two, from a rival academy, use Thunder; and the sixth is either Fire or [[Non-Elemental]] depending on which show you're watching).
