Only, the thing behind the door wasn't an army he could control, it was basically a giant evil spirit, one that wants to creep its way into the world and destroy it. It's captured almost all the good guy myths and is feeding off the belief people have in them, and because it's messing up the fabric of the world and the way all the belief works, now the edges are a little thin."

They don't mean to do it but everything's just that messed up right now. You're kind of like a spirit now, but hopefully it'll be reversible. Am I making any sense?"
