To find out that there is an existential horror that was actually just this goofy bald guy obsessed with supermarket discounts would be a strange mixture of both depressing, terrifying, and hilarious.

Welcome to Boros' world

Here's the thing about cosmic horror vs conventional horror. In cosmic horror we don't matter. The all powerful cosmic entities of the story aren't actually seeking to destroy us, it's more like a natural disaster than anything. I actually find this comforting, we are kept safe by our insignificance. And if we are destroyed it's likely gonna be quick. In other forms of horror, there's intent and maliciousness. In cosmic horror, it's just the way of things. This may sound strange, but to some people nihilism is comforting. To me the most nihilistic phrase I've ever heard is "dance like nobody's watching." If nothing you do matters, then don't stress about it.

In terms of Original Stories, sort of, sort of not. The Nyarlathotep is malicious and has intent to harm Humanity, not because of any reason beside his own enjoyment. They're not as "Important" though The Outer Gods still take interest in them. The "Natural Disaster" Idea always struck me as pretentious. Lovecraft's works are based in atheisms AND hopelessness, and even then, that wasn't his sole work in the Setting. People ignore his other Alien Species that are interesting in their own right.

I feel like jumped from nihilism into absurdism

I think the thing with One Punch Man is that even though he has these awesome powers, it doesn't suddenly make you happy, it doesn't solve but a small subset of life's problems. Life's other problems seem meaningless in comparison, but you still have to deal with them. Say I'm the world's best xxx and can earn my company millions. Or a billionaire philanthropist. Or a super-genius of some sort. I'm still human and still have life's daily problems. I will still struggle with the meaninglessness of it all, probably even more than someone who is struggling just to get by the whole time and doesn't have time to think about these things.

A unique perspective, thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Man, your content is fantastic. I didn't think of the show in this way - I haven't seen season 2 yet and I'll have to go into it with this perspective in mind...I feel it will be a richer experience thanks to you.

I find indeed strange solace just witnessing the sheer vastness of the universe, its near-infinite number of galaxies and stars. Any feeling of responsability, any stress from daily life, any vain drama instantly evaporates like a drop of water into the gaping mouth of an active volcano.

All of horror movies out there are mostly spiritual, slasher and gore movies but Cosmic Horror is so rare thou and this particular sub genre is the most interesting in my opinion Christopher Nolan said in a interview that he could like to make a horror movie, I hope it’s cosmic horror since interstellar is a masterpiece.

But it is also much more difficult to create. You can easily shock a lot of people by putting on a crazy person with an axe trying to murder and/or torture some unfortunate soul desperately trying to survive. You can throw this in almost any setting, with almost any type of character and call it a day. Cosmic horror on the other hand? You need World/Cosmic Building and come up with stuff that hasn't been used before. Sure, you can just copy chthullu, but then you are a simple chthullu clone :D

amazing description of OPM. i can come to terms with this.

I think OPM also shows the significance of people around us. King, Genos, Fubuki and others have significantly changed Saitama's life, making it either better or more interseting.

Thanks! I'll get there. Also pretty cool that my stuff is getting shared around in external sources, this makes me really happy :)

I'm actually actively reading the translations as they come out so I'll have to save this one for later but im going to go ahead and take a guess, boredom. We'll see if I was right one day.

Exceding well put, OPM is his own Cthulhu.

Similar to doctor Manhattan in watchman i guess, when anything you want is easily obtainable or any problem you face is irrelevant you sort of break away from the human psyche and everything becomes meaningless

good stuff

Cosmic horror... my new horror is forgetting. For example... my mother's spaghetti, just a memory of the taste but its been so long is it a memory or just my imagination of what it tastes like. I fear mixing memories with delusions.

Rick & Morty have pretty much the same theme and may help with overcoming senselessness.

"What do you do when you realize your existence is meaningless?" The question a wake up with, and go to bed with.

Finally a good anime tuber

crazy vid

>telling work you have tuberculosis Not exactly a short-term illness, did they fall for it?

J'ai oublié ce que je voulais dire donc référencement

Who is astronaut from the clips?

It reminds me of the fact that the humanity has already reached almost everything. That, no matter how much you try to be good at something, someone, somewhere is likely to be much better than you. The fact that each human inventions can be written into books, and humanity build a sort of a tower of inventions, that no singular human can ever reach or replicate. It seems so futile to try to do anything remarkable.

The video has several clips from a film with a female astronaut on what looks like a moon of Jupiter. What is the name of that film?

I do not care for the meaning of men. I do not care for the meaning of laws or the meaning of perception. I feel a flame in my heart only seen with my mind and only felt by my soul. We have nothing left to learn but to unlearn. You have been trapped. You have been trained. You only become yourself when your back is against the wall. It is almost always suppressed or limited to the phantasmal. Find the forces you need to go to the point you need to Help.

Would Horton Hears a Who (the movie) be classified as a cosmic horror?

In the end I feel that it shows that what is indeed terrifying isn't the thought that there are big ass powerfull monsters out there, just the fact that our lives as humans are most of the time boring and meaningless by the nature of the organization of the modern society. pretty sure that in other times and places this kinda cosmic horror would make no sense at all

he himself lost his own purpose as a human

I never really felt the fear of cosmic horror. I think I did, but never really. But then there's this chapter in the manga, Vagabond where a minor character, a proud supposedly strong samurai gets beaten by the deuteragonist with just a thin stick. That samurai then gave up his path of using the sword just because he can never be the strongest. This give me an insight the perspective of people that fear cosmic horror. Something along the lines of that there's a being out there that they can never fully comprehend, so why even? Of course, it's just one insight. I still don't understand cosmic horror. I just think I do.

I mean a form of media can have existential themes, without being horror...disagree with your take.

I wouldn't call this cosmic horror what Saitamas goes through. I'd rather call it cosmic boredom.

​@@rickymartin4457 Like Gardner and Crowley, he was one of the most obvious spooks (government agent) of all time. His bio and works are a pile of hooey. You can link him to the now deceased Queen of England, however. He should have stayed ignored, and he's only popular now because his "cosmic horror" helps the current crop of governors sell their current projects, one which is to distract and dull people's minds. The Clthulhu mythos is an irrational universe filled with incomprehensible monsters, who are at best, ambivalent towards humans they created. Trying to comprehend these monsters drives people insane, so its best not to ask big questions or pretend there is an ultimate truth. Can't people see this is exactly what the rulers want? To believe in such things would make life impossible to cope with, requiring large doses of anti depressants and material comforts to pacify people, which they are happily providing at great profit. Yes, we are ruled by monsters, but these monsters aren't multi-dimensional blobs of slime. Just other humans who would think up such offensive creatures, usually located in or around the dungeons of Langley and Vauxhall. And I see this horrible apathetic nihilism everywhere today, especially by people who bite into horror genres. Mumspaghetti @ 1:02 and his hot pocket story sums up my point exactly. Not trying to be mean, but really...? I just don't get it.

Muratas remake ruined cosmic horror element of God ., origina webcomic still keeps it mistery and secret.

dry your mouth out (lemon juice works well) and get a better pop filter please

I liked the video narrative very much, although I differ on some points. Believing in Allah the Almighty the one and only god our Creator, the creator of the whole universe gives me the chills, imagine that if Cthulu is Real he would be a creation of good, that is huge, but at the same time it gives meaning to live, it does not make it Pointless.
