>>84364475I've never been convinced even a little that the Unknown is purgatory. While I don't mind McHale's explanation, I still prefer the notion that is it something like the Faerie lands. That's the vibe I continually see from the animated series and everyone I've shown it too agrees. It aligns particularly well with the world set forth in Changeling: The Dreaming, from Whitewolf Publishing. Wirt and Greg and Beatrix struggle with faerie magic and banality and glamour along the way in a very classic Grimms fairytale style story.
There are dozens of other things that lend to this theory very strongly. While I still just don't see the purgatory angle, special if you consider that the Devil and Death are two very different personifications. But to each their own, as each of these Lies are the Loviest Lies of All.
>>84364889You are free to not do so if you choose. But I find discussing it continually deepens my enjoyment of it, especially when other people's paradigms and observations elucidate my own.
I remember being happy to learn that the music was original and modeled specifically after American folk music from around the time it aims to emulate. I'm not a music person but that lovely touch of detail is very cool.
>>84367375Damn! Finally someone else who posts here who thinks that too!
Also I'm so glad in general they didn't leave Wirt in the Unknown. And we need more OtGW fan-art!
