Also, that video is almost 20 years old, holy shit.

I am from... before that time...

But nah, back when I was paying closer attention to the state of fandom, it was always a common theory. GOOs can melt your mind, give a cult guy powers or cause an earthquake just fine while they're sleeping/trapped, but it'll be much worse when the stars align.

The best part about Lovecraft is that nothing makes sense. There are infinite reasons that cthulhu could have chosen to vaporise himself in response to the boat, having nothing to do with any damage the boat was going to cause to him. August Derleth and reddit powerscalers have done irreparable damage to the cthulhu mythos because they have everything organized nice and neatly with feats and family trees and shit, which is something Lovecraft explicitly avoided. The Cthulhu RPGs didn't help either because they essentially gave everything in the mythos a statline and HP.
