But in order to get the attention of people, the point that it's meaningless has to be shown in an entertaining manner.Lovecraft did that by depicting a universe ruled by gods that used people. In this case, the prequels did similar.

Quote from: The Cruentus on Dec 23, 2023, 01:50:56 PMThe origins pretty much reduced them to being essentially a creation of humans by proxy. Humans created androids and an android created the "alien". Nothing cosmic horror about that sadly, at least in my opinion.
