Marvin and Gods Last Message

[@Randomyoutuber-4831]

I think I just realized why Marvin saw ‘we apologize for the inconvenience’ as God’s final words to him: his entire life has been nothing but depression and suffering, an endless string of negative occurrences that left his body and mind utterly beaten down. ‘Sorry for the inconvience’ is basically god apologizing for everything Marvin had to be put through, all the depression and negative experience; god is saying that he’s sorry that things didn’t turn out better for him. And for the first time in an eternity, Marvin got to know what it was like for someone to truly care about him.

[@STie95]

marvin really is like a morality test for the people around him; hes absolutely right about nobody giving a shit about him. the ultimate point of marvin is to treat anybody with kindness and decency, especially if its difficult to do.

[@DoctorInk20]

[@altortugas5979]

Marvin also treats everyone like crap and makes bad-faith assumptions about their intentions. It’s not like people didn’t want to like him. Marvin and Arthur were actually a dichotomy. Neither of them particularly had any choice about how they moved through the universe. They could each, however, choose the attitude with which they approached the lack of control in their lives. Given lemons, Marvin squeezed them into his wounds and made himself rust. Arthur made roast beef sandwiches. Put another way, whether you are determined to find happiness or misery, you will. It’s a theme echoed in the soul of a potted plant, who repeatedly finds his death, seemingly at Arthur’s hand, from the skies Magrathea to Stavro Meuller’s latest night club: Beta. Coincidence is coincidence, and everyone else is going through the same crap as you. The best we can do is to try to make it a little more bearable for each other. We can love a little more. We can blame a little less. We can take long baths and eat roast beef sandwiches, and we can be ok that not everything is in our control.

[@austinmorrison6953]

“We apologize for the inconvenience.” Such a simple phrase yet so powerful

[@cockroachcharlie5619]

Well, done, but I've always assumed the final message was meant to be different for each individual. In the book, Marvin reads the last words himself, with no help from the others (just checked that section.) "He read the 'e', the 'n,' the 'c,' and at last, the final 'e,' and staggered back into their arms. 'I think,' he murmured at last from deep within his corroding, rattling thorax, 'I feel good about it.' The lights went out in his eyes for absolutely the very last time ever." While the book doesn't really suggest, either way, if it's the same for everybody, it would make sense to me that the last message would be appropriate to the individual, which it certainly was to Marvin. It explains why the others don't just read it to him, because they can't read what was left for HIM.

[@3dpprofessor]

Sorry for the super late reply, 1 year later on this comment. I'd have to check to be sure, but they only animated this, but the audio came from the radio shows. Most of the radio shows were written by Douglas Adams himself. Now I'm not sure about this one. I think it might have been recorded after Adams' passing. However he wasn't consistent with himself, so who knows if he had a vision for this sort of thing.

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

The message that Marvin reads... who is that not completely appropriate for? I mean, you go through all that trouble just to read it...

[@Victor-056]

The part that really gets to me, is that Marvin sounded so... Relieved upon reading the last message. And his use of Arthur's name when he says Goodbye, only hammers it harder. He never used Arthur's name prior, and when he did? He sounded... Happy. If Marvin had a mouth, he would have gone out with a Serene Smile. I guess having to read god's last message, gave him the peace he never could have felt alone.

[@SimonClarkstone]

That's a good point, he usually called Arthur something related to his species.

The truest irony is that the Syrus Cybernetics Corporation (the company that built Marvin) is known for building the shittiest robots in the galaxy, but Marvin (who actively wanted to die) was so well-built that he suffered through the entire history of creation- THIRTY SEVEN TIMES OVER. Maybe not the intention, but it's the most perfect deception of what depression must feel like I've ever seen- an unappreciated infinity of pain, your glorious potentials never able to be met, infinitely treated like shit by everyone around you and forced to do the most menial tasks for a literal eternity while everyone just gets annoyed at you for being sad.

[@silverloony1170]

I do feel bad for Marvin, but he did, you know, *purposefully didn't tell the crew they were entering a stunt ship designed for the sole purpose of flying into a sun.* They also didn't deliberately abandon him on Frogstar. He has a "brain the size of a planet", but instead of using that to possibly escape the things that make him miserable, he continues to wade through them like some sort of masochistic cycle in order to *stay* miserable. You should treat everyone with kindness, true, but the sad truth is that people have limits to what they're willing to put up with. Depression is one thing; abject universal loathing is completely different.

[@Victor-056]

If I remember, his personality was programmed to be incredibly Cynical to the point of Ridiculousness. He even laments that he has the Brain the Size of a Planet, but Cannot feel Joy. He's literally unable to be anything _But_ Cynical, due to his Hardwired personality. The fact that he effectively Dies with a Genuine sense of Joy is what makes this scene have such impact. The only time he truly felt Joy, was when he was dying.
