Purpose

gollark: It seems very conspiracy-theoretic and pointless.
gollark: No particular reason, like other things? I don't think we're at a point where every detail of movies is ruthlessly microoptimized for audience appeal yet.
gollark: Your evidence for that intent is just the weak thing of "apparently-satanic stuff appears in movies sometimes".
gollark: Which you can't demonstrate, yes.
gollark: I mean, apart from styropyro secretly (not very) worshipping demons and all.
