Life the Universe and Marvin the paranoid android

If you don't realize, or have not read  Douglas Adams "The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy" series of book, the film is really the tip of the iceberg as well as the BBC TV series, which seemed to be rushed and quickly put together on a budget of a newspaper subscription, but anyway, this is digressing.

I guess I'm talking about the elephant in the room, Marvin. I came to a realization. To his insurmountable depression. And really, this is because he kept rambling lines that made me think of the impossible. Since the answer to everything is now the famous 42, as calculated by the great Deep Thought and that he said that they would need to create a living biological computer with calculations so intricate that hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings would get the question to the answer.

So they employed the world building Magrathea which is considered the home of the industry of "Custom-made luxury planet building" to build the Earth 1 of which got destroyed by the Vogons. So, the Magratheans had made Earth 2 and here in lies where marvin comes in to the fray.

Marvin is a Sirius Cybernetics Corporation prototype genuine people personality and is quoted as saying "Life? Don't talk to me about life" as well as "Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to take you to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction, 'cause I don't". Both very important although trivial lines. You see, I think that Marvin was intended as the output device for earth 2. As in, he essentially was created not only as a prototype but also lined by the use of a spatial displacement inside his head therefore his statement about having the brain the size of a planet is because he actually has a brain the size of a planet in his head! He also had the time to calculate as he's lived in the universe 37 times over, and finally say's "I think I feel good about it". Yes Marvin was intelligent, but I feel that having the question in plain sight is somehow obvious, just like what the answer is. 

Now, as to the depressed state, surely somebody who knows the answer to everything actually would then be a master of his universe able to take advantage to everything? Well no. I think an analogy here is in order. Now, people die every day on the roads because of speeding, misjudgement and drinking alcohol and driving. Now, the Police and ambulance find their work not so full of cheer because the answer to this problem is simple, don't speed, don't drink be a nice person. Why else would they be depressed because... they know the answer! That's pretty clear by Marvins final statement before he dies being "I think I feel good about it."

It's been quoted that Douglas Adams said that Marvin was intended to be a minor joke, but after the robot's voice actor was hired he eventually had to write some script for him time to time. Perhaps, the minor joke is the universe and we don't realise it.
