Doomy Dooms of Doom: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality]]'', the marching song of the Chaos Legion is the [[Star Wars|Imperial March]] with words. The words are all "doom".

* [[I Don't Like the Sound of That Place|The Doom Satellite]] from ''[[Calvin and Hobbes: The Series]]''.

* ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'': the Pit of Doom, underneath Shayol Ghul, a mountain. This is where the barrier that separates [[The Devil|The Dark One]] from the world is at its thinnest.

* In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', repeated references are made to the Doom of Valyria. It's not clear what exactly this was, except that it was very hard on Valyria. Euron Crow's Eye claims to have "seen the Doom," so whatever-it-was may still be going on (although Euron shows every sign of being an inveterate liar). Given that Valyria seems to be the birthplace of the dragons, along with various references to smoke, fire, and poison, fans have speculated that the Doom was actually the eruption of one or more very large volcanoes.

* The resident [[Cloudcuckoolander]] of ''[[Power Rangers Mystic Force]]'' once gave the line "I hate to be a doomsayer, but, uh,... DOOM! Doom, doom, doom."

* Z'ha'dum, the planet of the bad guys (the shadows) in ''[[Babylon 5]]''. How is it pronounced? "Za-ha-DOOM", of course.

* The "of Death" variant, like so many tropes is [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[Eureka]]'':
