How Aware of his own Mortality is Chris? (Poll) -

[LordCustos3]

Okay. So how deep does his feels about his own death go?
How much time does he think he has left?
How sure is he that there is an afterlife, and which one does he think he "deserves"?
Does he ever think of reincarnation....and if so, what kind of retarded dung beetle does he hope to come back as?

Anyhow, lets get real grim.

 

[Himawari]

This was a tough one. I'm sure he's aware that he's going to die, but he probably thinks it's much further away than it really is. He definitely thinks he's going to heaven. I feel like he might have said something about reincarnation at some point, but I'm not sure... I wouldn't be surprised if he believed that he could spend eternity in heaven and also be reincarnated AT THE SAME TIME, though.

 

[Hyperion]

Chris will just keep reincarnating until he manages to be born to a powerful or wealthy set of parents, then reveal himself as the anti-Christ.

 

[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]

Chris will just keep reincarnating until he manages to be born to a powerful or wealthy set of parents, then reveal himself as the anti-Christ.

When that happens, brother, the Hulkster will be there to stop him. The Hulkster will challenge him to a match in the squared circle, with the WWF title on the line. The Hulkster will draw energy from all the little Hulksters in the crowd and slam him into the mat with the 24 inch pythons. The slam will be so powerful, dude, that it will break the continent in half. The ocean will come pouring in. But don't worry about the Hulkamaniacs, man, for they are survivors. And you, anti-Christ CWC, the Hulkster doesn't care what happens to you. Just know that when you finally become real, when you finally face Hulkamania, that the Hulkster will be victorious. WHATCHA GONNA DO, FUTURE ANTICHRIST CWC, WHEN HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU?!

Given his level of emotional maturity, I'd guess that Chris is dimly aware of his own mortality but has never considered it much beyond a very superficial what-kind-of-funeral-do-i-want level.

Call up Kim Jong Il to blow your ass into pieces like in ERB.

 

[Kosher Dill]

He probably figures he'll live at least as long as his parents did, because he's equal or superior to them in all respects.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

He said he hoped to live to be 80-100 in the future message, and I doubt his mind has changed unless the DANG DIRTY TROLLS make him come down with a serious illness or he's facing jail time, because of course he'll die in jail.

I doubt he thinks of his death much.

 

[Coldgrip]

Bob's death probably did a lot to drive home the point of mortality and the fact that everybody must die at some point.

In the very back of his mind where all the uncomfortable little realities and thoughts that Chris has pushed aside dwell, he knows that at some point he too will one day meet the Reaper. Those thoughts give him the prickly-wicklys though, so he continues to keep pushing them back in his mind and all the while he whines and complains on facebook about how he so needs a cute girl his age so he won't be lonely any longer.

"Hmm, my pop lived to 84, and maw is 72 now, 72 + 84 is... oh, I'll live to 156! I'll get to see the Playstation 35 when it comes out in da 22nd century!"

156 years, that's a lot of tugboats

 

[DykesDykesChina]

I don't think Chris lives in time like most people do. See, he has no aims, no long-range goals, all his days are the same. This, coupled with his childlike mentality, probably gives him a view of death in the spirit of: It is something bad, but you go to heaven afterwards to be with GodBearJesus, but it doesn't really matter because it is far away and doesn't have any relevance as long as Hungry Man dinners and Big Macs keep coming and the vidya equipment is in working condition.

 

[Globe]

Chris had this to say to the sysop for the CWCipedia;

Seeing the BIG Ad in the One Spot is as terrifying as the Flash Of Light at the Instant Millisecond of DEATH, or even, technologically, the Blue Screen Of Death. And Believe Me, IN DREAMS, and even IN MOMENTS within my mind while AWAKE, I HAVE SEEN AND FELT That Death Light. Not only is it the Most Horrifying Thing Ever, but I am LOOOONG NOT READY FOR IT YET.

I think mortality is something he has a better grip on than most things (self-image, money, relationships, etc.) since he'll at least acknowledge that he can and will die. Fear of death might be something that nags at him now and again, especially with Bob having kicked the bucket and Barb's waning health, but since he can't even come to grips with the fact that he's no longer a "young adult", it's tough to imagine him seriously fretting over it.

 

[CatParty]

i wonder if Death made him any other promises that he is now rethinking.

 

[asperhes]

Chris believes that he will die three weeks after his mother passes. He will die of loneliness, just as his father would have died of loneliness in three weeks had Barb not providentially happened along. Of course, if Chris finds his sweetheart by then, he will have a long and happy life. But deep down, Chris knows this is unlikely. He is currently in a state of growing existential panic.

 

[Leon Kennedy]

I personally believes Chris knows of his own mortality, but considers it far away.

 

[ChurchOfGodBear]

If he's contemplating this, even if in his usual backwards CWC fashion, that's pretty notable. The vast majority of people try their best to not think about their own mortality, it's just not something we want to process.
