One more thing I want to point out: yes, you can kill the Wall of Flesh with far less effort than I put into it, and without all the fancy gear and the bridge and stuff. But you should also consider the fact that the world will go into Hard Mode after you beat him. Don't you want to have the best gear going into Hard Mode?
