I disagree, books can never have as colorful worlds in my head as movies an comics. Unless I watched the movie before I read the book. Book is just slower information transfer than audiovisual, but it’s not limited to what can be visualized. In the end both is passive consumption unlike something active like videogames

No, I don’t think so, since I can visualize what I’ve seen. If I read a book after having seen the movie, the characters will look like that. I think that’s how it was with Harry Potter

Seems creating novel mental images works differently from memory recall en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefrontal_synthesis

Case in point: I absolutely LOVE The Lord of the Rings films. Absolute masterpieces that haven’t aged A DAY.
Tolkien’s “The Fellowship of the Ring” had me asleep in 25 pages.
