Mythology & Fiction Explained Fantastic job, well done 👍 I really enjoyed this vid, Cthulhu has featured in meny films bt I can only think of two of them that refer to him & the rest of the pantheon as "the old ones" & they are "Howard the Duck" (meny of you are probably to young to have heard of that film, it's an 80's thing 😂) & the other is a little more resent & that's "HellBoy" both of which are good films bt "Howard the Duck" is abit wierd 😂😅😂😅

John O ́neil I've got an interesting one for you. Even though I passively encounter Cthulhu Mythos inspired movies and media when I was younger, I only truly came to understand after playing a dating Sim game in my teens and one of the answers for the girl was that HP Lovecraft was her favorite author. So eventually I looked him up and then I discovered the Cthulhu Mythos.

It’s weird a lot of people seem to think of Cthulhu as this all-powerful, incomprehensible form. He’s described to have a form, there’s statues of him that describe him as the classic winged tentacle-mouthed monster we all know and love, and he’s far from the most powerful of the Lovecraftian gods.

Going by the Call of Cthulhu, the statues are meant to be poor representations of him. The human eye approximates him as having a tentacled face and dragon wings and whatnot, but that’s just due to our limited capacities. The testimony of the sailor makes it pretty clear he’s meant to be incomprehensible.

The Video game Bloodborne(2015) Is heavily inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos. Complete with great old one and dream realms and a zone that is ripped straight from the shadow over innsmouth. One of the final bosses The moon presence takes a form similar to that of cthulhu or nyarlathotep. The games shift from Gothic to cosmic horror is nothing short of a masterstroke. There are dozens of video essays on KZfaq about bloodborne and it influences. I highly recommend as a game and as a prime example of lovecraftain horror.

The only problem that people even bring up is that the good Hoontah is able to dunk the cosmic horror monsters. Personally I love Bloodborne, I love the entire Soulsborne series, while Dark Souls 1 had tje best story Bloodborne had, by far the best gameplay of the whole series and i doubt anyone will be able to outdo it.

@sonofamitch985 6 жыл бұрын

I get that the whole appeal of cosmic horror is its so unimaginably beyond us and understand that. But i think bloodborne justifys it to a certain degree. For one a good portion of the game we are on the trail of a group of people trying to ascend to become a old one, some succeed we find(rom) and we attempt the same. The only truly powerful old one we fight is the moon presence. We are told the amygdalas are "lesser" and simply servants of the nightmares(not inculcating patches worship). And the orphan of cos is simply a child of a Deep one(or a human ascended witch ever theory you like). So the only real old god we fight moon daddy but at that point we are close to ascending ourselves.

Just to comment on the star born race that revere Cthulhu, Id like to interpret their accession as the priest came about them and either indirectly or directly influenced their evolution into something similar to himself. That his powers changed them over time and molded them into something of his image. Sorta like the Reapers from Mass effect re-purpose anything that comes into contact with them to suit their needs. Love your channel! definitely a new favorite of mine! much love from Canada.

We have Hermaeus Mora and the entirety of Apocrypha from the Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim serving as the most recent depiction of Cthulhu in gaming. If I'm wrong please let me know. Next do Yig father of serpents.

Tomb Keeper13 A few people have mentioned this already but Bloodborne was heavily based on lovecrafts work.

It's more like Yog-Sothoth

It has been a long time since I played BB therefore I cannot recall who it was primarily based on. I just remember it was lovecraft... although Yog does make sense.

All you need to know about Yig: Yig is Yig, easy to please, easy to anger. Be kind to his children.

Hey is there anyway you can do a video on Mercury. I can’t find much information on him, other then the Smite character analysis.

@fayev1360 6 жыл бұрын

Halle W. There should be alot of info since Mercury is just the Roman version of Hermes

Cannot say whether or not he is directly represented in the fromsoftware title bloodborne but the Lovecraftian influences are very apparent after a few hours into the game. It's actually a great example of traditional horror like bram's stoker type horror and the psychological/cosmic horror of the Lovecraftian mythos blended together perfectly in my opinion and is very worth a look if you haven't already.

I dont like the idea of Cthulu being an alien. I prefer the view where the Old Ones are primordial beings that reside between the dimensions.

@f7744dread388 5 жыл бұрын

I see what you mean but that makes them aliens by definition lol just cosmic godlike aliens.

In Galicia we eat Cthulu with oil, saltz and pimentón picante (red hot peppers). 🐙 And boiled potatos we call cachelos. And the name of this Dish IS Fary stile octopusd. Bon apetite.
