One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.” -Hunter S. Thompson

Godzilla vs. Cthulhu
I Randomly found this image as I was trolling the shady back ways of the inter tubes. All I can say is that this is a B movie that I could see myself having a nerdgasm over. Oh and if your asking, I'm with Team Cthulhu all the way Bub.
Kaiju and Great Old Ones are very close concepts, despite the late being more occult-related, mostly because the kind of stories that lead it to fame, but both are senseless, almost unstoppable embodied forces that humans cannot understand and only suffer. Even the "occultist" element in Lovecraft is almost a lie: magic is only a form of applied psychic power, and Gods are entities of massive power, but has no real purpose in any greater order, because such thing simply does not exist
That's a pretty good picture.
ReplyDeleteCool. You know, thinking about it, Godzilla has a lot in common with Cthulhu--including dying and not staying dead.
ReplyDeleteDan Brereton's Giantkiller comic was about kaiju, some of which were a bit Cthulhuan.
@Whisk, Thanks!
ReplyDelete@Trey, I was thinking same thing. It would almost be a battle for territory, or who gets to destroy ther earth. That comic sounds neat too.
Original artist here guys. I'm glad you like it.
