6 Reasons Why The World's End Will Kick Ass

World Just a quick disclaimer before we start: when I accepted this article back in April, I thought it was just a fun article suggestion and grabbed it. It was actually referring to the movie "The World's End", which I didn't even know was coming out. So, I decided to keep the work I did talking about the actual end of the world and turn it into a comedic piece! Alright, sorry to slow you down. Anyone who has seen apocalypse movies knows the potential for end of the world events. Panic, cheering, "I told you so"s, "I knew it"s, the works. The world as we know it will, one day, end. It's no surprise. It happens once every hundred thousand years, give or take a billion. The planet destroys its inhabitants to make room for a new society. Luckily, we'll all be dead before this happens, save for a meteor or a nuclear holocaust. At any rate, movies and TV shows about the end of the world focus mainly around the fear the end instills in us and our stupid, though primal, desire to try and survive it. Rarely do we catch a glimpse at the world ending from the perspective of people who want to make the most of it. There are hundreds of reasons why the end of the world could potentially kick major ass. I have narrowed my personal ideas down to six that I feel everyone could relate to. I have spent more than the last few days of writing this piece thinking about what I would do in the event that I bear witness to the world ending and I can't think of anything better than embracing it and dying fulfilled. None of this running around like a chicken with my head cut off, scraping together the bare essentials and burying myself twenty feet underground in a shelter. I don't know about you, but if a guy shoots me, I wanna see his face, you know what I mean? Not that a meteor would feel guilt for the rest of its existence having seen the horror in my eyes as they try to convey to my brain that I'm about to die, but that's fine.
