Why would YOU want to resurrect a dark god?

[Erana]

Skeptics would do it to prove that the ritual would specifically not work.

 

[Jeronus]

So we can pal around and pick up chicks

 

[ChickDangerous]

To make life a little bit more interesting since nothing ever happens where I live, except for the odd crocodile eating people. That just doesn't have the same kind of shock value as it used to.

 

[EchetusXe]

Some may already be mentioned:

- Possession
- Hatred for the world
- Belief they can control the demon/be rewarded by it
- For the lulz

 

[Cthulu2]

I think they would do it in the false hope that they would become one as well. That's why I would do it.

 

[Walrus42]

Because no one understands Cthulhu like I do!

 

[JoshasorousRex]

So I can KICK HIS ASS!! No not really, the god will probably kick my ass and torture me for all of eternity or something. *hides*

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

Cthulhu's a close friend of mine, we went to high school together, wouldn't you help bust your best buddy out of prison?

you went to a very scary high school! But I can't say too much, I am good buddies with both Ashathoth I think his name, humongous tentacled thing at the center of the universe, and the King in Yellow. Can't say his name, bad things will happen.

Xiado: Caesar, I summon you form your hellish prison to wreak thy terrible vengeance upon the world that imprisoned you!

Caesar: Graaugh! Brutus delenda est!

Xiado: Caesar, it's two millennia later. Brutus is gone. And they named a salad after you.

Caesar: Nooooooooooo!

So apparently the ultimate insult to a historical figure is to name a salad after them.
lets say, has simple insanity been said yet?

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

Maybe to get that dark god to destroy an even more dangerous foe.

Kinda like that IOA guy in Stargate: The Ark of Truth making that Replicator to destroy the Ori's followers.

 

[Kriegsherr]

For funsies I guess.

That and the constant mindless destruction that it leaves would serve as endless inspiration for countless black metal songs and music videos. I can picture it right now, all I need to do is make sure I get my hands on a Dark God before Immortal do.

 

[Malkavian]

You said it. Power.
Villains are evil. That's why they're villains. They have some goal or other, that they need the power with which to accomplish. Some will believe that the deity can be used, manipulated. Other's will faithfully serve it, because under it, they believe they will attain more power than without it.

- For the lulz

This man is right, though.

 

[Dark Crusader]

I'd be doing the world a favour, the world's over populated right? There's too many people, not enough food and not enough houses and too many criminals.
Simply bring back the Huehueteotl [Aztec god of fire] and sacrifice all the homeless and criminals to them. Then refuse to sacrifice any more and watch as fire burns everyone else. All humanity's problems solved.

That and I respect people who can weild fire, and people who are more evil than me, so I don't mind being a sub-servant, although cutting all those hearts is going to get painful.

 

[RagnorakTres]

"Some men just want to watch the world burn."

Yeah! Dark Knight reference ftw!!

OT: To learn a power chord never before heard in the universe!!

Alternatively, to see a whole bunch of warrior angels come down to whoop it's minions asses.

And, well...

I will die on the field of honor, facing my ancient enemy with a feral smile on my face and the blood of the members of his army of evil staining my kusari-gama and my katana. As I die, the Valkyries will take me away to Valhalla and the Hall of the All-Father, where there is eternal feasting and drinking and fighting. Then, come Ragnorak, I will kill thousands upon thousands of the foul spawn of Utgard and they will come to fear my blades and fury as the Dark Angel. I will single-handedly be responsible for the survival of Midgard through Ragnorak. Mighty Thor himself will call me friend and Lord Odin will entrust me with the pup of his great wolves and the foal of Slepnir for my steed.

Cause, ya know, I'm THAT awesome.

 

[Fingolfin High-King of the Noldor]

I'm going with the whole they are fucking crazy. I can think of no other possible reason why anyone would ever think this. "Mmm I'm bored let's release a creature able to destroy this entire planet with me on it!!!" I think this idea... *Wink wink nudge nudge*

 

[Not Good]

Why would I wish for a dark god when we already have one!

 

[KeyMaster45]

Because I have to many minions and letting Keanu Reaves kill a few hundred off saves me money in these tough economic times.
