Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Difference between revisions

* Episode 4 of ''[[Oku-sama wa Mahou Shoujo]]'' features a giant teddy bear walking through the town. It's [[Subverted Trope|soon revealed]] that it was only a model of the town in Cruje's room.

* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Saiyans]] in ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' have the ability to turn into [[Our Werewolves Are Different|giant were-monkeys]] during the full moon if they have a tail. Piccolo and a one time villain from one of the movies, Slug, have also displayed the ability to make themselves grow to gigantic sizes.

 

== Comic Books ==

* ''[[The Dark Tower/The Waste Lands|The Dark Tower]]'': [[Everything's Worse with Bears|It's a bear. A giant cyborg bear.]]

* An early David Sedaris essay talks about trying to write erotica for a Giantess fetish magazine. He harbors no such fetish himself, he simply needs any job he can get. He ponders the more mundane aspects of being a giant that tends to get glossed over in such works. (How would they find enough food to eat? Wouldn't it be lonely? Wouldn't a bowel movement evacuate an entire city?)

* An interesting inversion of the "army battles giant monster" is the [[Stephen King]] short story "Battleground", where a hitman finds himself battling toy soldiers that have come to life. This is specially brought across in the short film adaptation, where we often see things from the POV of the toys.

* ''Funnelweb'' by Richard Ryan has giant mutant funnelweb spiders rampaging across Australia.

 

== Music Videos ==

* Ayumi Hamasaki's video ''Sexy Little Things'' include a gigantic woman bursting through a wall, her head almost as tall as the wall itself.

* The video for the [[Beastie Boys]] "Intergalactic" features a giant robot (piloted by three scientists played by the group members) battling a giant sea creature in Tokyo in a parody of kaiju films.

 

== Tabletop Games ==

*** And then we get into the '''''really''''' out there variations, like the Sabertooth Giant Space Hamster or the Flying Carnivorous Giant Space Hamster.

**** And the Firebreathing Phase Doppleganger Giant Space Hamster.

* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' seems to have a fondness for using "battle tank" as a standard size for wildlife, and Tyranids revel in this trope with their heavier creatures, especially the Bio-Titans.

** ''[[Warhammer Fantasy]]'' is currently{{when}} going into this trend as well, giving each of the factions new big monsters. The crowning one was the Arachnork Spider, which was so large it's base dwarfs the Land Raider, the second largest tank in 40k, who was then followed by the Zombie Dragon and the horrifying batlike Terrorghast, which shares a base with it. Storm of Magic turned it [[Up to Eleven]] with a whole slew of new monsters and beasts that any wizard can call upon to fight for him/her.

* And how can we forget the end of the second stage in ''[[Sly Cooper]] 3''? By the power of rage, Carmelita starts growing. And yes, the [[Dating Catwoman]] protagonist Sly gets to solve the problem with a [[Colossus Climb|Carmelita Climb]], as put by the game.

{{quote|'''Bentley''':You've always wanted to get closer to her. Can't get much closer than climbing up her boot laces!}}

* Unintentionally subverted in ''[[Age of Mythology]]'', as the Giants, Frost Giants, Fire Giants and Greek colossuses are only about two or three (four tops) times the size of the human figures.

** Then you buy the expansion pack and watch and marvel as your enemies get goomba stomped by a giant birdman which took you an hour or so to build.

* In ''[[Fite!]]'', {{spoiler|Lucco grows giant after [[Fusion Dance|absorbing Guz]] and defeats King Frogera by ''eating him''}}.

* In the ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' arc "GOFOTRON, Champion of the Cosmos", the titular [[Combining Mecha]] regularly battles giant monsters created by the evil Zorgon empire. One of these creatures was a hundred-foot ''broccoli'' monster.

* Done, in ''[[The Perry Bible Fellowship]]'''s characteristically disturbing style [http://pbfcomics.com/120/ here].

* Happens to Vinicius in ''[[Vinigortonio]]'' during a test on [[Berserk Button|Natural Sciences]].

* ''[[Bug Martini]]'' and ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130513184513/http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/bratzilla/ Bratzilla]''.

* In ''[[Sinfest]]'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20140209172048/http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2272 Crimney pushes down the stack of books he hides behind, and Squigley assumes he's playing this.]
