I was also under the impression the blob was just upsettingly referring to the humans. I hope you're right. It would at least help some. But I think they were supposed to be in the area of Seattle, at least from what I could tell about the grove and all. If it was somewhere else, I could swallow it a little more, maybe. Having it be the LWM and then making the remarks of it being "thousands" of years ago is ridiculous enough. I also don't like that this was the origin story for the LWM. Way too contrived and comes out of nowhere. ​​ A better origin I think would be that magic was practised throughout history on Earth but as technology and civilization advanced, and magic users became feared and persecuted and greater knowledge of science became known, knowledge of magic was lost to time and/or suppressed. Magic then became dormant or neglected thus becoming harder to see or tap into by the modern age due to lack of knowledge and belief. Only a few Earth-born people would know and use magic, like maybe the Dragon and others, that guy in Hong Kong who found August knew of it. These magic users kept their magic secret and covered up incidents of magic in our world and protected it from other magical threats or those who abused magic for evil or selfish purposes like the Masters of the Mystic Arts in the MCU or wizardkind in the Wizarding World Verse. Of course you'd have to explain why they didn't investigate the town of SB appearing or the people who came with it if they were aware of it or if they weren't then why.
