My Beef with the SPN Hell Realm

A never ending novel by Shadow

There is so much lore about Hell in the world. From the Bible to Dante's Inferno to movies to shows to books. And Supernatural chose what? Lightning, a never ending line, a warehouse and a set of spooky stairs. You know who had a scarier Hell realm? Disney's Hercules. The Loony Toons. A realm of fire with a weird devil guy was scarier than anything Supernatural threw at us. You pulled nothing from the Divine Comedy even though it is one of the most quoted works about Hell?

You know who does a good Hell Realm? The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It actually has circles and different parts. (minus the whole school room scene, that was a bit much). It was different ways of torturing different sinners. It's a thought out realm. It's not a warehouse. It's not a hallway. It's not a staircase. It's a realm.

If a four part series about a teenage witch can put the effort into creating a terrifying concept for Hell, why can't a big budget 15 season popular as hell show do it?

They could have given us the seven circles. They could have given Lucifer this opulent yet horrible palace in the middle of a frozen waste of the dead. But again, they gave us a factory. They could have pulled from various art pieces through history. But again, they gave us stairs. They could have given us so much. But they gave us a line in a hallway.
