I think of him as using the "horrorus interruptus"
style of writing. It's the Xtianity of horror,
with everybody waiting for the critter to show up
and after damn near 2000 years, finally people
start to say, "WTF? Put up or shut up!"
So, maybe the appearance of Cthulu could make
people go insane in the 7th Century. Triple Whoopie.
We were raised with Godzilla movies. We can deal
with it.
I can see it now: "Yankee leader, this is Alpha-
One-Five on a departure from the gigantic tentacle
monster on a heading of zero-niner-five. Flash is
in five...four...three...two...one. Flash! Flash!
Flash! Tactical device detonated at 16:42 Zulu...
all that is left is the biggest damn pile of burned
green goo you can possibly imagine. That'll teach
him to eat Cleveland. It's Miller Time, over!"

Strangely enough, or not, Derleth or another one of the many writers to pick
up and write about Cthulhu & company after HPL's demise eventually wrote at
least one story where the tentacled critter ate a nuke (or more). IIRC, all
had him eventually reincorporate after being atomically smushed, seeing as
how he's a "god" and all. I'm sure there are many (many) more knowledgeable
folks over at alt.horror.cthulhu that could verify this.
I do, however, agree, as most of "us" have most certainly had enough sci-fi
monst0r deth 'n destruction piped into our cranial cavities to be thoroughly
desensitised to any of the "insanity destroying" properties the appearance
of Cthulhu or similar would cause. On the other hand, I imagine all the
right winged fun-duh-mental-ists types would be going apeshit crazy and
start frothing heavily about end times and other crap. Hopefully that will
make them more appealing to the Elder Gods and Cthulhu will have them for
snacks first. I'd love to watch that... "Lord Jesus my Saviour, save us from
this horrible tentacled crea... AAAUGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

That's because you are staring up my skirt.
Who raised you? Was your Momma a gynecologist?

(It's only a few years ago that "I thought it was your ASS" was an
actual joke on a sitcom. Eventually enough cartoon characters said ass
that nobody laughed at it any more.)

Well, next, they should work on the word 'cunt'. Then we can all say
it in our daily lives.
