How well would he do in the marvel universe?
>>154775627Get the wooden boat
He is the Marvel Universe. Somewhere.
>>154775627Isn't there already a knock-off that Dr. Strange fights sometimes?
>>154775627Very
>>154775765>Isn't there already a knock-off that Dr. Strange fights sometimes?you mean Shuma-Gorath
>>154775627He'd tear through most of Earth's heroes, including the Avengers. What would wind up happening is that either Reed would invent something to stop him, or he'd run afoul of a planet-smasher like SIlver Surfer or Thor, and even Cthulhu's not powerful enough to deal with one of them.
>>154775627Falls before DOOM
>>154777370Yeah, that's the one.>>154777399>he'd run afoul of a planet-smasher like SIlver Surfer or Thor, and even Cthulhu's not powerful enough to deal with one of them.If it was written properly.
>Cthulu is always presented as an unstoppable monster in third party material>In the original story he gets hit in the head by a boat and retreats
>>154775702Iirc that didn't actually hurt him, he shifted around the boat, decided it wasn't worth his time and went back to R'lyeh to go back to sleep. That whole scene would've been like if some kids rang your doorbell at 2 in the morning, you ran out with a broom and got egged as they ran off before deciding "fuck it" and going back inside.
>>154777817How do those two even look remotely alike outside of having tentacles near what looks like a face?
>>154777975I never said they looked alike anon.
>>154775627If he plays his cards right. His biggest threat is probably dr strange, so if he can just put all his mojo into mind controlling Dr strange then he’s square
>>154777975This looks more like yog sothoth. Cthulhu’s grandpappy
>>154777897>>In the original story he gets hit in the head by a boat and retreatsHe doesn't even register the boat. The planets were out of alignment and went back to sleep. He's not meant to wake up until humanity is long dead and like three other dominant species have ruled over the earth since then
>>154778435Still, with the way he was hyped up it's pretty lame for him to basically go back to sleep without doing anything
>>154778494That's kind of the whole point of lovecraftian cosmic horror. You don't beat it, the goal of the story is to avoid its direct notice or the collateral of it scratching its ass out in the outer planes.The Cthulhu encounter in the story was the equivalent of it sleep walking to the kitchen, bumping into something, and sleep walking back to bed.
>>154778494Cthulhu is kind of the Batman of the mythos, he is wanked because he is popular, but he isn't really a big fish.Both Tsathoggua and Cthuga put him in check.
>>154778494H.P. Lovecraft didn't grow up in the age of nerds and power scalers and given how brown the latter are he wouldn't pander to them anyway
>>154778601yes? and? he's a priest. He's popular because he's the face, not the dominant being
>>154778626H.P. Lovecraft was a nerd
>>154779961Vastly, vastly different to the nerds we have today
>>154780465Modern nerds want to shoot aliens and cum inside the eldritch horrors. We have become fearless.
>>154780644More like brainfried from porn and internalized nihilism.
>>154780644Modern nerds want to shoot up estrogen and become the eldritch horrors.
>>154780670Yeah, you're probably right. I saw a headless person walking in the street the other day and I experienced Lovecraft's fear of reality breaking down. It turned out it was an old lady with a hump and a deformed spine wearing a long coat. Her shoulders were higher than her head and I saw her from behind. Poor woman. Some stranger took a photo of her.>>154780690Hah!
>>154780794That actually does sound kinda spooky tbdesu
>>154780794That was one of the fish people anon. You are lucky to have dodged a lovecraftian event.
He is in the Marvel setting. The old ones or knock offs of them have been part of the Marvel setting since like the 70s. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Cthulhu_(Earth-616)
