#huntik

Years back I remember watching a children's show called Huntik (apparently done by the same people as Winx Club? Small world.) One of those collect-em-all Pokelikes, you know the drill. There is exactly one plot beat from the show that I've retained, which is the late-game reveal that The Organization, the supposedly ancient world-controlling power-hungry cult that the plucky heroes have been fighting for the whole show, was actually only created in the mid-twentieth century, about 50 years before the start of the show, but the founders deliberately manufactured a false thousand-year paper trail to pump up their mystique. Which is hilarious. More shows involving the supernatural should lean into "all this bullshit is much newer than you originally thought" as the other side of the all-too-common "this bullshit has been going on much longer than you originally thought"
