Line 7 ⟶ 6:
The heroes are facing the villain, and appear to have some sort of power over it. Perhaps they've locked it up, or it's not as terrifying as they thought, or maybe it's lost all its powers. At any rate, one of the heroes starts to taunt it, confident in their success.
 
Also see [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] for the title's inspiration. To not be confused with [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]] which is more about distraction, or [[Bullying a Dragon]]; which differs in that the entity is choosing not to splatter you and [[Mugging the Monster]] (where the unfortunate [[Jerkass]] has no idea what they're getting into). For now. And, please remember: Cthulhu is NOT''not'' [[Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Ball|Happy Fun Ball]]. Liable to [[Threat Backfire]], for obvious reasons.
