Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* [[Deus Machina Demonbane]] is based on utilizing half of the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] to beat the shit out of the other half, which includes Cthulhu.

* In ''[[Utawarerumono]]'', this trope is given a unique twist: {{spoiler|The deity the people in universe worship is both God and Cthulhu}}, and he asks his own followers to beat the crap out of him, who happens to resemble the [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Eva Unit-01]] crossed with [[Godzilla]]. {{spoiler|They succeed in beating their own God to the point the Cthulhu half is destroyed forever,}} just like said God asked for.

* The final boss of the ''[[Another Century's Episode]]'' trilogy is {{spoiler|Shin Dragon, from the ''[[Getter Robo]]'' series, which is capable of obliterating celestial bodies like Jupiter's moons with ease and can punch holes in reality.}} You can potentially beat it with anything in the game, from [[Getter Robo|Shin Getter]] all the way down to [[Mobile Suit Gundam|the RX-78 Gundam]] or [[Super Dimension Fortress Macross|a VF-1 Valkyrie]].

* In ''[[Baldur's Gate]] II: Throne of Bhaal'', the final battle pits the epic-level protagonist and his party against {{spoiler|Amellisan, traitorous priestess of Bhaal,}} charged up with about 99% of Bhaal's power. Your protagonist has the remaining 1%. You win.

** Akuma (who isn't exactly normal) acknowledges this trope when defeating Thor, Ammy or for maximum aplication, Shuma-Gorath

{{quote|'''Akuma''': I have killed a god with my fists!}}

* ''[[Marvel Ultimate Alliance]]'' has the same issue. Your little super team fights nearly every supervillain in the Marvel Universe over the course of the game. As a result, a skilled player can defeat Mephisto, Galactus, Gladiator, Ymir, Loki, and {{spoiler|Dr. Doom coupled with the stolen god powers of Odin}} all with ''[[Badass Normal]] [[Nick Fury]].''

** Then again, one of Fury's alternate costumes IS [[Samuel L. Jackson]].
