I mean yeah, but the Grongi had a purpose in all their murder games. The purpose was that they were bored, mind you, but the killing had a point.

For this X plot it's like...this scientist had been experimenting to make smart children smarter, so GOD decides to hypnotize them to kill themselves to...convince him that his experimentation causes death? And that's supposed to get him to join GOD, somehow? It's a totally nonsensical, pointless plan. And they're all like explicitly stated to be elementary and middle school students. And the episode opens with a montage of them jumping to their deaths! But it's still not really a particularly dark episode overall. It's just bonkers is all it is.
