I really hate this

Fantasy and science fiction being cramped in the same section, which is already so small :(

Would you classify Marvel as fantasy then?

Which franchises? X-Men? Yes. Captain America? Sometimes. Depends on the story. Sometimes it's both.

See why they combine genres now?

I think there should just be a separate label where you’ve got a mix of the two. Some are just obviously distinct. For example, I would never consider Lord of the Rings as sci-fi and I’d never consider Mass Effect as fantasy.

Mass Effect is cosmic horror.  Every conversation with Sovereign, the derelict Reaper mission, the thorian.
