Q: Why is the Cthulhu Mythos named after Cthulhu? Cthulhu, in the original story The Call of Cthulhu, is not very impressive. Its plot ends with it

 being defeated by being ran over by a motorboat

and the general moral of the story seems to be that

 while the evil, ancient being can be defeated, the foreigners, minorities and people of other races and cultures will always be out there to get us in horrifying ways we cannot imagine.

Its feeble (by the old gods standards), its simplistic and I dont think its even all that popular; I was never a huge Lovecraft afficionado, but I have an impression that some other gods, like Shub-Niggurath, Hastur or Nyarlathotep were used more often. So why was it chosen to represent the entire mythos? Surely one of the others would be more representative?

A: By reading your spoilers I think you should give the novel another read. The plot end is totally not the one you wrote and the morale should change the first can with cannot. Keep in mind that a lot of work around the Mythos was made from other authors. For istance, Shub-Niggurrath appears only in one novel, Hastur is only briefly mentioned once.
Why Chtulhu Mythos?
The was coined by August Derleth, a contemporary correspondent and protégé of Lovecraft wich expanded the universe of HPL, thats it. Lovecraft himslef used the term Yog-Sothothery to describe the Mythos.
