Curb Stomp Battle/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

*** {{spoiler|Optimus Prime's epic battle with Megatron in ''Prime'' contains one for each combatant. At first, Optimus unleashes an [[Unstoppable Rage|Unstoppable]] [[Tranquil Fury]] and proceeds to ''beat the tar out of Megs'', beating him down so badly Megatron's armor is ground away in several places and he is left nearly helpless on the ground, unable to comprehend his impending death. Unfortunately for Prime, Megatron gets an evil [[Heroic Second Wind]] from the Dark Energon nearby and counters Prime's coup de grace with a [[Barehanded Blade Block]] before stabbing him in the shoulder with his own sword. The curb-stomp then goes in Megatron's direction, ending with him [[The Bad Guy Wins|standing triumphant, like his vision had shown him.]]}}

* Entirely serious and intentional example: ''[[The Boondocks]]'' spends an entire episode leading up to a fight between Grampa and Stinkmeaner, an old man that was able to kick Grandpa's behind [[Disability Superpower|despite being blind]]. {{spoiler|Right before the fight starts, Huey realizes that Stinkmeaner didn't have superhuman sense and fighting ability, he just got lucky when Granddad accidentally nudged Stickmeaner's cane with his foot. Grampa throws the first punch, time stops for a minute for Huey to suggest everyone go read a book, the punch gets Stinkmeaner directly in the face, knocks him down, and he's dead seconds after hitting the ground.}}

* ''[[Justice League]]'': [[Aquaman]] and [[Wonder Woman]] have a duel on Easter Island. This fight is totally awesome and shows how [[Badass]] the king of the sea is. He barely wins. Then he pushes his luck and tries to go after [[Superman]]... Supes gives a depressed sigh and throws just one punch. Cut to Superman dragging Aquaman's unconscious body away, with a recovered Wonder Woman right behind them.

** Which is due to the writers underestimating Aquaman's powers. In the comics, Aquaman has strength and durability to match Superman's.
