What is it with cows having god complexes

Its how they justify their own misbegotten, egotistical, smug self-satisfied sense of superiority. Otherwise they would have to An Hero.

How many Lovecraft stories have you read? He pretty clearly paints a picture of a lot of stuff. The whole "The monster was too terrible, too awful to describe... so I won't" was mostly later hack authors who couldn't round up the brain cells to imagine something alien.

I own most of his stuff. Sure he describes the monstrosities,but it's usually done with vague words and metaphors,and he often point out he protagonist doesn't quite know what he's looking at. Unless you're talking about minor creatures.

“I think their predominant colour was a greyish-green, though they had white bellies. They were mostly shiny and slippery, but the ridges of their backs were scaly. Their forms vaguely suggested the anthropoid, while their heads were the heads of fish, with prodigious bulging eyes that never closed. At the sides of their necks were palpitating gills, and their long paws were webbed. They hopped irregularly, sometimes on two legs and sometimes on four. I was somehow glad that they had no more than four limbs. Their croaking, baying voices, clearly used for articulate speech, held all the dark shades of expression which their staring faces lacked.”

Now, that's quite a description, but your brain will still be filling most of the blanks trying to figure out what the hell this thing is supposed to look like, and I don't think it nearly as scary if you're just showed what it looks like.

Sperging about billionaires

Has he been watching Running Man and Hard Target and somehow confused them for reality? Because otherwise I missed the news that there are roving gangs of billionaires hunting people down in the streets.

Bob would be one of those people that is hates the rich, then suddenly changes his mind if he were to win the lottery and learn he suddenly owes $900,000 in tax.

The biggest issue is that there are only two stories by Lovecraft that people care about: Re-Animator and Call of Cthlulhu. Even Guillermo Del Toro's "At the Mouth Of Madness" falls victim to this, as the last act basically abandons the plot of ATMOM and replaces it with the final act of CoC as far as Cthlulhu showing up out of the blue and the film shifting from the plot of ATMOM to the the sailors vs Cthlulhu fight from CoC.

It also hurts that what most associates with Lovecraft, actually is arc welding by later writers and stewards of Lovecraft's estate. Stuff like the King In Yellow or Great God Pan and Three Impostures, which (being public domain) were folded into the Lovecraft lore; hell, even the concept of the Cthlulhu Mythos itself is 100% the work of other writers, retrospectively trying to create a grand unifying theory where all of the Lovecraft stories are connected and creating stuff from whole cloth (like the elemental grid view of certain Elder God creatures) and inserting stuff like Chamber's King In Yellow, into the Lovecraft canon.

How many Lovecraft stories have you read? He pretty clearly paints a picture of a lot of stuff. The whole "The monster was too terrible, too awful to describe... so I won't" was mostly later hack authors who couldn't round up the brain cells to imagine something alien.

I like the Fantasy Flight Cthulhu games but whenever I play there there's always someone who complains that the heroes shouldn't win, that people shouldn't be able to fight the monsters, etc. Though my attitude was "do you want to play the game or not?".

When I started digging into the Lovecraft canon I learned a few things. One that stood out is that heroes do sometimes win, or at least the ending is ambivalent about it. Colors out of Space (not an obscure story) ends with the police and neighboring farmer escaping and getting on with their lives. They only "lose" when the water company buys the land to build a new reservoir.

The board games have some goofy shit like killer penguins. While I've not read a story with killer penguins yet, there was a black cat called "niggerman", so Lovecraft seems fine with goofy humour. I don't know if he allowed authors to write mythos stories while he was alive, but I wouldn't surprised given the non-lovecraft works that are widely considered part of the canon.

"If offered I aspire to Living Godhood myself" -- Bob Chipman.

"If you have a billion dollars, you have to be okay with people disliking you". I don't quite see the necessary connection between having money and people disliking someone. I think it makes more sense to say "if you think people are obsolete, you have to be okay with people disliking you", yet Bobby seem not to understand that.

What exactly do fedora wearers like Bob mean by "Islamophobia"? Is it just criticizing the religion at all? I guess Bob will pretend not to know what could happen to atheists in Muslim countries.

The way I always thought of it was that the bleak meaningless of the universe means that nothing is set in stone. To say that we're destined to fall before the old ones presumes that the whole thing has some sort of divine rota, their is no fate but what we make to quote Terminator the protagonists can and do emerge victorious in lovecraftian horror even if all they do is buy us a few more years. The desperate sliver of hope enhances the horror by downplaying the despair and quality of the work.

People are pretty covetous by nature.Prestige and power will generate envy even if it well earnt (big if). Bob doesnt really relate to people well so this is actually pretty insightful for him even if it does work on his endless arrogence.

The killer penguins show up in "At the Mountains of Madness," though if I recollect the scientists don't actually fight them. They're just horrified by them. And really, can you blame them? Look at this shit:

Spoiler: Seriously, man

As for "Nigger-Man," Lovecraft really had a cat by that name, I believe. It's amazing he hasn't been flat out banned in the current climate (although they did change some high profile fantasy award trophy a few years ago from his bust to something more generic). If they ever do another take on "Herbert West: Re-Animator" I guarantee you this passage describing a boxer named Buck Robinson, aka "The Harlem Smoke," will be elided:

“He was a loathsome, gorilla-like thing, with abnormally long arms which I could not help calling fore legs, and a face that conjured up thoughts of unspeakable Congo secrets and tom-tom poundings under an eerie moon.”

Also worth noting that the Valinor descended Elves of the Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit (i.e. Rivendell and Lorien) are portrayed as being exceptionally humble and respectful towards "lesser" peoples despite their own gifts and powers, since they know just how badly they themselves as a people fucked up during the First Age during the events in the Silmarilion and thus are not exactly in any mood to look down upon Men or Dwarves for their flaws or failings, no matter how the movies spun Elrond.

Not exactly relevant to the point, but given the subject of the thread and his obsession with his own "superiority" and how much his "inferiors" deserve to be exterminated for the crime of existing I think its worth noting.

I remember remarking that all the elves in Middle Earth, by the time of LotR, had humility beaten into them because all the arrogant, stupid ones had died off. There's a reason (multiple reasons) why Galadriel wanted nothing to do with Feanor.

The Blob as Feanor? Maybe in personality, but Feanor was a craftsman unequalled. If the Blob can use a screwdriver without harming himself, I'd be impressed.

 

[BScCollateral]

I think there is nothing more amusing than the history and use of the word "nigger."

Agatha Christie wrote a book that was retitled three times. And then there's the Dambusters raid, where in honor of a dead black dog, it was used as a code word for "I have successfully dropped my bombs and am returning to base." Makes the film a bit surreal.

Feanor was quite literally the most brilliant, most skilled, and most powerful Elf in all of Eru's creation. His arrogance and vanity destroyed him, of course, but that's the moral of the story.

Bob is ... not any of those things, except arrogant.

Probably not. He keeps bragging that he's lost 65 pounds.

For a pragamatist Bob really does seem like he's determined to continue persuing a strategy which has not only fails to work but has proactively made the situation worse.

we're in the 3rd year of president Trump and I'm prettyconfident he'll make a 2nd turn if he wants it, so how bad is it going to have to get before he grows the fuck up?

It's almost like his 'pragamatism' is just immorality and he's completly inflexable.

He doesn’t even understand about pragamatism.

He ironically focused on the X-Men MCU parts on his articles as well as wanting Trump supporters to lose their jobs.
