The world is a cage.

[Y2Kafka]

Think about it.

The word Terraria is plural for Terrarium.
Terrariums are rectangular glass cages you keep animals in.
The world of Terraria has lots of different animals and enemies all found inside.

You also view Terrariums from the side (Think ant farm).
The world of Terraria is also 2D like viewing a chunk of land from the side.

The entire world of Terraria (or worlds) is just a giant glass cage/ant farm, and we're creatures trapped inside.

Also, if you came into this topic expecting Nicholas Cage... I'm sorry.

Wasn't that the reason why Terraria is called Terraria?

Well I'm an awesome ant.

Illuminati confirmed.

WOAH, THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE. WHAT IF MOONLORD IS JUST THE ALIEN WHO PUT YOU IN THE TERRARIUM, WHO LOOKS SUPER HUGE TO YOU?

 

[Gotcha!]

What Kazzymodus said. Nothing new here, you just stated the obvious.

There is nothing wrong with that.

Makes sense as to why you can never outrun him.

Am I saying there's something wrong with that? No, I didn't think so.

TERRARIA 3 #CONFIRMED

 

[Mattix]

What if
Floating islands are just fungi on the cage's glass?
What if
The ground is not your canvas?
What if
You are an ant?
What if
Crawlitpede?

You can freely move from one world to another without any restrictions but the ones you create. Heck, you can create and destroy worlds at will too.

So much for being trapped anywhere.

 

[Evilgrapez]

Wow...I never thought of it that way.

Nice speculation you got there.

 

[XiaoThePotato]

I would like to see "superhuge world" as well in the world creation menu.

Stop ruining my totally air tight theory with your logic... meany.
But ya, you're right. Maybe there's an explanation though. Hmm.

Makes sense as to why you can never outrun him.

It makes even MORE sense if you imagine him pressing his face up against a pane of glass in the background, looking at you.
I'm kind of freaking myself out now.

Edit:

-Snip-

Imagine if the Moonlord's name was Nicholas, and Nicholas "Owned" the cage in which you lived. That would make the world of Terraria...

Nicholas's Cage

SOLAR ARMOR IS ACTUALLY GHOSTRIDERS ARMOR CONFIRMED

 

[Samrux]

Isn't the Moon Lord the only entity that stays behind background walls or something like that?
