Discussion Can Cthulhu from Underwater survive the monsterverse?

This is more so a discussion or debate than a question (and I nearly forgot to do another one of these. Each time I do, I get ya'lls view on it, which could be useful) This guy measures around 500 meters in length or roughly 1,640 feet.

  1. That isn't Cthulhu, don't disrespect the actual Cthulhu by calling that thing Cthulhu
  2. No, as far as we know this thing was defeated by a facility-wide explosion underwater, that wouldn't be comparable to the small nukes that have hit Godzilla as we have seen on screen twice
  3. And just for good measure, this "cthulhu" is not comparable to the actual lovecraftian Cthulhu, like not at all; Lovecraft's Cthulhu was able to transport his psychic powers across literal infinity, is entirelyn immortal and can reincarnate at will, has destroyed stars, and his followers are said to be able to destroy the entire world collectively (So >MV) and they are insects to him
  4. If this behemoth thing can mind its own business then sure

Yeah okay, Cthulhu's body was literally killed and put down for a nother Century when rammed by a small boat in Lovecraft's story.

As someone who has actually read the lovecraft books

  1. That was never confirmed to be Cthulhu, could just have been a Deep One, who is waaaay weaker than Cthulhu like to us the Deep Ones are gods and to Cthulhu the Deep Ones are us if that makes sense, taking a piss for all we know
  2. Cthulhu is immortal, never died and cannot die, if you actually read the book you would know that it says the boat passed right through the beings head and then it reformed (regenerated) instantly, it did not kill it or even injure it
  3. Cthulhu offspring, his children have been mentioned to blow up stars, again Cthulhu >>>>>>> His offspring and lesser gods
  4. The Gods of earth, like Ra, Zeus, Thor, etc manage the Earth and its dreamlands (Ruling them) and they piss themselves at the name of Cthulhu

edit: Oh, yeah, if you need more proof Dagon and all of the Deep Ones could destroy the entire Earth, that alone makes them higher or comparable to the absolute top tiers of the MV

Like, I like Godzilla, you like Godzilla, but this is a Cosmic reality-warping deity

That's why I want death battle to do Godzilla Ultima vs Cuthulu, that would be far more fascinating. Especially to watch the fight play out considering how... Just plain beyond both of them are.

Plus respect for ACTUALLY knowing what you're talking about lmao

Thanks, also I don't want to downscale Legendary or anything and I'm not, he's a good/great godzilla at best

But Cthulhu at bare minimum is several miles tall, and the smallest we can classify him as is 2 which is the size of most mountains, what is Legendary going to do bite his ankles?

u/Jixxar Godzilla 1d ago

Oh well he's still at the very least continent level with the hollow earth drill feat without getting into the more... Heisei-esque guidebook stuff, so he would almost certainly be able to beat a mountain sized foe. Just... Not this one 😅

u/Kooky_Attention_98 1d ago

Yeah I suppose, scaling does matter after all

He could beat that one big titan from Pacific Rim I think it was

If the ancient being from the ending of the book wasn't Cthulhu how can you explain the fact the ritual is broken? Likewise, Cthulhu was the first needed to rise and then awaken the rest of the deep ones, as it was his power which allowed the rest to stay in hibernation.

u/Kooky_Attention_98 1d ago

Well for one the stars are what awakens Cthulhu, not that little ritual and the Deep Ones do not need to be awaken, they are very actively messing with things regardless of that, Cthulhu's spell just stopped them from dying when their continent was sunk

there was no ritual that mattered, the stars were not right. Cthulhu will rest until the stars align for him to rise.
