Oops - sorry, I misunderstood.  I did not mean to misrepresent you.

I didn't think you were misrepresenting me at all, don't worry — I was actually referring to an earlier comment from someone else who seemed to be misreading what I said (but who didn't quote me or address me directly, so I may be misreading them in turn and won't go calling that poster out either).  

To be fair, I think i'm part of the chain of inadvertent misunderstanding!  haha.

I too was also not actually responding to any particular comments on here, but rather just to the general sense of the reaction from Discord and elsewhere.

To me, there seems to be a fairly good reason why this particular church has been used so often in film productions, and why it has been used to represent places as diverse as the Halls of Asgard (in Age of Ultron), that secret creepy underground crypt in Sherlock Holmes, and as a backdrop for the world of Robin Hood (in Prince of Thieves) and that's because its not your typical village parish church. Its got way more interesting vibes going on.

That said, it clearly also looks like enough of an actual church to double up as a regular church in things like Four Weddings, but on the whole, i still think it would be unfair to dismiss it as a location for Charn on that basis. If its otherworldly enough for Asgard, its otherworldly enough for Charn.
