Cthulhuvian Flow Chart
Thursday, July 3, 2008
Never underestimate the ability of Cthulhu to modernize. Thanks to logic and corporate planning, it's become apparent the contemporary cultist can view their deity's master plan in flow chart format. Even in the embrace of non-Euclidean geometry and inter-dimensional madness, it seems Cthulhu's mind functions soundly. At least when it's spelled out this way. Cracked.com has done an excellent job of making the extraterrestrial monstrosity's plan tangible and humorous.
I only take issue with the chart's conclusion. Why is it so widely assumed total, blind destruction is the ultimate goal of Cthulhu? Even H.P. Lovecraft left the prospective regime of Cthulhu quite vague. While dining on the smorgashboard of Earth's maddened organisms isn't a bad guess--indeed, Cthulhu has no plans to rain candy and kittens on everyone--it has become more than a little cliched by now.
