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. ​​ Yeah, the Seattle part doesn't quite work since that'd be the entire landmass of the Americas...

I think another option besides the Salem witch trials if the people there were just some secret, forgotten, ancient civilization colony who tried to colonize it at first but then they specifically get wiped out by Gothel (plus a Greek/Roman setting-ish thing would be pretty cool, hell, they could even throw in one of the nymphs mentioning death being thrown from Mount Olympus or something). Basically, the setting, and a couple of lines edited makes all the difference for the LWM & Gothel's backstory (which I otherwise felt was fine).
