[Lovecraft/Meta] Does this sub overhype the Lovecraftian entities too much?

I mean, beyond Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, Shub Niggurath, and Nyarlathotep, I have a hard time believing Cthulhu would be that much of a threat to a lot of really powerful characters or in a universe like Star Wars/Trek. Sure, he's "incomprehensible" but even then, just close your eyes or some shit, and, hell, the people that saw him didn't go all that insane, it's mostly Lovecraft's crazy protagonists that go just crazier. I'm sorry, if Cthulhu got knocked out by a boat, my nigga Goku can handle him.

I think there's two issues here:

1) You can't really gauge psychological threats.

Gauging physical threats is hard  (as anyone who's been in a Goku vs Superman discussion knows) but you can set some baselines knowing what both people can do and what they can't and their weaknesses. 

You can't do that with psychological threats. Someone who can control minds, someone who can mind wipe people and rewrite memories, someone who can make you go crazy by simply existing. None of these things can be accurately measured or approximated because they're entirely dependent on "mental strength", if that.

2) We simply don't know much of anything about Lovecraftian creatures. Their entire thing is being unknowable, so we don't really know how strong or weak they are or exactly what they can or can't do. So anyone can just claim whatever they want and there's no real rebuttal possible. 

We only know what we know. And what we know is that people go crazy just being in the same general area as Cthulhu.
