Tolkien/D&Disms aren't inherently bad, and they do not make a setting boring. Similarly, just because a setting is some person's extremely high-concept world of tryhard "bet you haven't seen THIS before!" autofellatio does not make a setting interesting. You can make a world utterly devoid of fantastical elements still feel as magical as the most high fantasy work you've seen, and you can make an extremely nonsensical high fantasy world feel more grounded than the reality you live in. It all comes down to individual works and how the writer applies attributes of the setting.
