Why do Fables hide?

edited February 2014 in The Wolf Among Us

From what I've read on this forum, their are some pretty powerful Fables in Fabletown. Why the need to hide from the mundane world when you've got people like Bigby that can eat all of the mundies?

  • Well because they can clearly die by somewhat conventional means and evidently there's only a handful of them in a tiny little section of NY as opposed to the rest of civilization that could take them down if they were discovered. I mean maybe they WOULDN'T freak out and try to kill the fables but I can see why they'd want to stay hidden. They're not invulnerable.

  • They prefer their privacy and wouldn't want it to become like Disneyland, or Disneyworld in that matter. All those endless autographs and random fat kids sitting on your lap, no sir!

  • That's a good and funny point

  • US government would capture Bigby, brainwash him and send to Afghanistan or somewhere.

    Lol kind like america saying hey canada small country and we have bigger weapons why don't take over look at xmen movies once realize the threat humans get scared and kill them and humans so stupid nuke whole planet when they lose so cant win

    WARNING countries used are an example no political agenda not causing war like last time

  • Even if the most powerful Fables might perhaps not need to hide, the majority of Fables have no special powers or strength.

    If one Fable comes out, he puts the rest at risk. That's why they have their own secret society, laws... and Sheriff.

    Well...If the government would see the fable it will try to catch them.Maybe the scientists would do experiments on them to see how do they transform(maybe they'll try to use theid DNA to dublicate or make a powerfull fable that they would easily controll).The humans always try to controll everything from weak to powerfull.Even the strongest fable woudn't survive if the humans are after it.So.. if a fable shows up to humans,he'll compromise the existence of anothers.What would you do if you see a magic fable around you.You'll keep it under a secret.You can't do that because someone sooner or later will discover the fable/s and will capture them.

  • In the comics the Mundies are fairly powerful, they benefit from modern technologies, where as fables are mostly stuck in medieval times ... at least in the homelands. Also the existence of fables is tied to the mundies belief in them. Continued existence relies on permutations of the fables in the mundane world.

  • Think about it yourself. What would be your reaction if you would see characters from fairy tales, walking on the streets? I think you would be like " what the fuck is this?". And that´s one reason why they hide, because all mundies would be shocked. Also Us goverment would make some kind of scientific experiments to them, it would be on news all over the world and Fables couldn´t live their own life anymore.

  • I know, I just wanted to create this discussion in case new people wondered why.

  • u have a point but think about it they don't really want any trouble or to start a war that will make things much worse.
