Since the end of the world is coming soon, which way do you guys prefer the world to end? Personally I prefer Ragnarok. The world might as well end with a bang.

Ragnarok or the Christian mythos Rapture, would kinda such to me. For a start, the existence of all powerful gods would.. to me.. make everything human have ever done worthless.

Zombies are overdone, plus a planet full of walking corpses would stink. Seeing your friends and family turned would suck, a lot, as would having to kill them.

Aliens capable of reaching us would be capable of wiping us out before we even noticed. Nuclear war would probably be the same.

I picked other. There was a show when I was growing up called The Tribe. The world was wracked by a virus that killed all people over a certain age, removing most of the knowledge but leaving the technology around to be scavenged by children. I feel this would be an interesting "end of civilisation" scenario that would allow for humanity to continue and go a different route as the children grew up.

Personally I'd go for the asteroid, but probably not killing everyone. Just most. Then I can scavenge and be a post-apocalyptic knight!

Since the end of the world is not coming soon

Fix'd for yah.

OT: Nuclear Apocalypse because 'tis most realistic and is will more likely result in me surviving. If I survive the bombs of course.

I'll take the booby apocalypse, it's bad yet enjoyable...

This is kind of like asking for your top ideas on how to kill yourself. Bit dark really.

Anyway I'd go with something that annhilated the whole earth immediately as everything else just sounds too much like a camping holiday where nobody remembered to bring any bacon or reducing the entire planet to the grey and arid stature of Aberdeen.

The tried-and-true zobie apocalypse for me.
Think about it; with all the films, books and games depicting it, we'd have no problem surviving.

Less about the Apocalypse and more about the after for me. So I'd like one that I could survive, and that would leave a lawless Mad Max type world behind. Of course, since the whole world couldn't be covered in desert so quickly, I'm going to go for:

Economic crash causes mass chaos and panic, government breaks down, society becomes urban hellhole a la BladeRunner/Escape From New York type cyberpunky.

The post apocalypse is the best apocalypse actually...

The Christian Apocalypse ends in fire, World War III probably with fire caused by bangs. Ragnaroc ends in ice then fire. Thus, if you want a bang, go with World War III.

Why the hell christian? its not fun at all.... ww3 or ragnarok are epic

christian, because i will be fine, being christian and all

Gray goo, nothing like the merciless creep of self replicating nanobots consuming all in their path to end the world and then they spread across the universe until heat death.

Zombie. As terrifying as it would be, I've always been fascinated with the idea of your actions basically being rendered irrelevant, walking through deserted buildings, trying to survive and hide based only on what's been left behind.
Mind you, people think I'm weird when I tell them that.

Alien or Ragnarök.

Ragnarök because it would mean that there are gods and stuff, but the Christians don't get to be smug and say "I told you so".

Alien because I'd join the resistance, hijack a space ship and thus my quest for alien booty would begin.

The thing that always make me laugh about those commercials, is that in reality the people who use excessive amounts of AXE/body-spray have the exact opposite effect on Women

Not all Christian religions believe in a (the same) rapture. Just saying.

I don't see where "the end of the world is coming soon" comes from.
I don't care, I won't be here most likely.

Also, the end of the world (earth) will happen when the Sun envelops us.
Then end of humanity may or may not happen separately.

"Kill all sons of bitches. That's mah 'ficial instructions."

Of course, any zombie virus actually capable of destroying everything would probably be deadly enough to kill off most people without a chance to fight (I.E airborn virus, super-fast zombies, etc,) but god damn I would love a good ol' fashioned Romero doomsday.

I'd go with Zombie Apocalypse.
Albert Wesker's zombie apocalypse to be precise. I agree with Wesker's notion of the planet being over-populated and I wouldn't mind having superpowers...of course the chances of me being immune to, what was it called, UROBUROS, are so slim that more than likely I'll be one of the 5 billion zombies while the other 2 billion super-humans would use me as target practice.

Voted for zombies, without thinking. That woudl be cool, very cool indeed.

Another couple of opportunities id like to explore is a deadly virus, with at least 1/100 survival rate at best, would definitely clean up the earth and the result would be very interesting. the movie symbolizing just such a virus is well placed in Carriers, a australian B-movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0806203/

Another idea i would love to see executed better than in the day of the triffids was blindness. If everyone went blind, that would be an apocalypse wouldnt it. in my opinion movie Blindness shows it great http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0861689/

Also as per movie The Quiet Earth http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089869/ i would just love to be that man. Infact when people fear apocalypse i welcome in. Id love to be left alone in the world to wander around. Realistically, id probably be the fat man who couldnt outrun a zombie, but hyphotetically, id love to be the sole survivor.

I'd say Ragnarok. Not only is there a positive outcome to it all, we human beings take an active part in it alongside the gods themselves in a glorious battle. What's not to like?

I want an apocalypse in which the squirrels rebel and begin to destroy all humans; let loose the squirrel of war!

I say Christian.... But the Supernatural Apocalypse. Having a few arch-angels and Demons joining forces would be kinda cool! Plus i wouldn't mind meeting Crowley.

Christian, because I'm Christian

Ragnarok for the spectacle

Zombie for the fun.

Zombie, because its kind of a classic at this point. Lets me kill stuff before my own inevitable demise, slim chance of society rebuilding, but still a chance.

But I picked Other. the global pandemic, 1 in 1000 survival rate, seems like the most viable way of simply undoing modern civilization without actually ending mankind. Giving me a chance to rebuild, assuming I live, and to have an actual impact on society. But more importantly, reducing the population to post-apocalyptic levels without the risk of being eaten by zombies or suffering from Leukemia.

Other: BORG INVASION. ( I Suppose that's alien.... )

But still... Resistance is futile!

It's kind of complicated. Actually, maybe I'll write the complicated one as a graphic novel.

Okay, short version: asteroids blow up major cities and give me super-powers. I restore ecosystems and become a godlike protector of nature and beauty with a gentle side and a really bad case of borderline personality disorder. When I put up a sign that says "Do not drop litter," it means THOU SHALLT NOT DROP LITTER! *zorch* Arseho..... oh wow. Baby ocelot. Isn't that CUTE?

I had a dream once about the end of the world. Giant fruit Loops and marshmallow shapes fell from the sky while Milk rained from the heavens. The world will be destroyed by a complete breakfast.
