Cornwood | |
---|---|
First appearance | Bender's Game |
Cornwood is an alternative reality created by Bender's imagination combined with the effect of the combination of the dark matter crystals. It can be somewhat be considered a parallel universe. Due to the nature of Cornwood, it is unlikely that it will be revisited later.
Cornwood is foremost based on Tolkien's Middle-Earth. With several places, characters and races being indirect or direct references to places, characters and races in Tolkien's universe.

The main cast of Futurama all appear in the alternative reality, but as a different characters based loosely on Tolkein's characters or basic Dungeons and Dragons concepts, or combinations thereof.
