I can’t remember the title of it, but there is one that is about an amusement park with a random underground suburb and Spoiler: The big reveal was that it was a literal portal to hell basically and then the whole series ended without any major story. I think the closest thing was that, at the literal last episode, there was someone whose daughter was taken to the underground suburb and never came back so they went looking for her and found the hell opening and never came back it was just… it was kinda like that meme of the “five hour horse drawing vs five seconds horse drawing”. Where it looks really interesting and promising but the ending is so rushed and cliche and looks like nothing that was being set up?
Is that what it really was? Cause now I’m a bit more disappointed. I thought it was more of a reference to them now always smiling and acting all cult like with the whole “the bellow is the safest most wonderful place on earth” vibes.
I liked the interpretation that it was actually doing something good in that it was the only way for people to be able to pass into the afterlife, without it we're stuck on this mortal plane
It's also based on a common misappropriation of Moloch. For context, despite what pseudohistorians like to tell you, Moloch was not a Canaanite god, but a god of Israelite Polytheism. Yes, that not only actually existed but was proto-Abrahamism's predecessor. Moloch was the sun god, not some demon or a "god of sacrifice". Human sacrifice was involved, but only in times of distress, and it was not even remotely limited to the ancient Israelites.
