The same time period that wrote book after book about the "White man's burden" (don't look at me, that's just how early 20th century America was).</p>

Lovecraft gave his interpretation of that particular reality. For somebody like you, exposed to different things through your more modern life, it would be quite horrible and insanity inducing. I can asssure you that...</p>

Most of his stories are just page after page of the narrator telling us how horrifying and scary this is. Which always makes the climax very underwhelming, since it never quite lives up to the absurd amount of hype.</p>

<p>Godzilla might be able to win because it's not capable of understanding the unfathomable fear that any sentient being would immediately experience before spiraling into a complete mental breakdown when beholding the terrible sight that is Cthulhu. This is also why the steam boat won.</p>
