How are they not? Even if they aren't real, they've had huge impacts. Take Superman, for instance. He revolutionized superheroes and comics, plus became a symbol and icon for the common, perfect man. The same goes for Goku but with manga. The Mario Bros. games became a huge influence for later games, such as Sonic being inspired from it, and the camera controls in Super Mario 64 helped changed camera controls in games in general. Romeo & Juliet are THE couple, often used metaphorically for two people absolutely in love. Doctor Who and Back to the Future are huge influences on not just the time travel genre, but sci fi overall, as are Star Wars and Star Trek. The Easter Bunny and Santa Claus are HUGE icons not just for kids but the general holiday market. And that's justcthr tip of the iceberg.
