Every religion/cult/screaming guy wearing posterboard has an end-of-the-world scenario. What’s the best one?
Honestly, the visualization alone of Melancholia was pretty fucking amazing. Might as well end it quick, and with a bang, mates.
literally the only thing I enjoyed about that movie were the titties.
movie made me violently ill and gave me a migraine.
Fair and fair. I’m sorry about your brain betraying you. I hope it gets better or more manageable at least. I didn’t actually care for the movie or that whole trilogy, but that ending is impressive, visually.
The Norse one has a wolf eating the sun. That’s pretty metal.
Best in what way?
More humane? best chance of recovery? most brutal?
Dealer’s choice.
Infinity war style, snap of the fingers and its all over
IT’S A COOKBOOK
Tell me more.
We go good with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
A virus that makes 9/10 of humanity infertile.
Vacuum Decay bubble sweeping over our solar system. That sould be straight tits. Its like the “Irish Goodbye” of reality itself. Just poof! And ya outta heeeeeeere!
I’ll take one, please.
Recently PLUR1BUS seems alright, one of the characters in the show even argues that things are better
I was going to say that.
I love that show. And unless the original, human, “others” are aware of the whole thing, that is, if the humans are trapped in their own minds/bodies, then I think the pluribus effect is a net positive. Pretty much all human suffering has ended. To rollback the whole thing is to create an incalculable amount of suffering.
I love the way you put it in that last line.
Early abrahamic philosophers go over the god question like this, basically saying that if God/Yahweh/Allah exists and is all-powerful and doesn’t stop suffering, then he can’t possibly be good. Other religious philosophers figured life is a soul building experience, therefore the net good of making positive choices is greater than if everything was perfect by default.
The way the problem is set up in Pluribus is insanely well done.
Flip the switch, and the virtual simulation we’re in shuts down.
The latest one. My favourite part is people giving away their cars and homes.
TWD zombies ofcourse.
Metalocalypse
Not religious, but my favorite is the Gamma Ray Burst.
Totally invisible until it hits and BOOM, everything is dead.
Same result, but false vaccum decay.
I don’t think a GRBurst is painless. Humans would still suffer greatly, from radiation poisoning symptoms. Infections, internal bleeding, etc. It would take days…
I don’t think a Gamma Ray Burst would vaporize everything… But I may be wrong.
Big tiddy Gothaclypse!
Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman is a great contender for an end of the world scenario.
Tl;dr: aliens set loose a super intelligent AI on the planet as the gameshow host to the elimination of nigh all life on Earth, as part of a running Survivor-esque intergalactic production.
