All things are better when they're bigger. You know you wish you had tropes this big. Unless of course, you're TinyTropes.

And, [[JustForPun yes]], FreudWasRight.

* [[PlayerArchetypes The "Timmy" demographic]] in ''[=~Magic: The Gathering~=]'' is defined as caring first and foremost about massive creatures that can slam the opponent (or, in a broader sense, any spell with a huge, sweeping effect), and ''Magic'' sure as heck has no shortage. The classic "biggest and baddest" is [[http://beta.gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=108920 Leviathan]]; other notables include the devastating [[http://beta.gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=43711 Dragon Tyrant]], the unspeakably large [[http://beta.gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=135250 Denizen of the Deep]], and the majestic [[http://beta.gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=175105 Godsire]]. The single biggest, baddest, most ''monstrous'' monster in the whole game, though? The dread goddess [[http://magiccards.info/rep/en/10.html Marit Lage]], who is so powerful she can't even be summoned by normal means.

** It probably says something that all of the Original Trilogy movies, along with ''Revenge of the Sith'', opened with a Star Destroyer, which is more than a kilometer and a half long. Other [[IncrediblyLamePun big]] contenders are the ''Executor'' (so big, it used ENGINES bigger than Star Destroyers), Ackbar's five-kilometer-long flagship, the three-kilometer Trade Federation ''Lucrehulk'' battleship, and the seven-hundred-meter ''Acclamator'' troop transport. And that's just the movies; the EU has things like [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/9/91/Maw.JPG the Maw Installation]], seen in comparison to a prototype Death Star, Centerpoint Station, which was 300 kilometers long, and the [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Galaxy_Gun_egwt.png Galaxy Gun]], which is probably the ultimate proof that Palpatine was CompensatingForSomething.
*** To be fair, the Maw Installation and Centerpoint Station were built by an ancient [[{{Precursors}} precursor race]] as parts of a system designed to keep an EldritchAbomination [[SealedEvilInACan locked away]] in the Deep Core.

* Played with in ''SchlockMercenary''. Schlock loses his {{BFG}}, and is offered a new model which is much more powerful and doesn't need to warm up. On the downside, it is smaller, and doesn't make an ominous hum when warming up. Schlock manages to find another of the old model. To be fair, Schlock uses both the size and the ominous hum as much for intimidation as he uses the gun for blasting things. Although he does like blasting things.

-> ''"[[FreudWasRight Leela, evolution has programmed our fabulous male brains to take anything anyone else thinks is important, and make it bigger!]]"''

* [[{{ptitlee7iwl4a5}} Frank's 2000 Inch TV]]

** Not to mention [[spoiler: Ku Fei's]] artifact; a staff that can instantly expand to many times it's original size, meaning anyone standing at the end of it when it expands is effectively hit by a train.

* ''QueensBlade'''s Cattleya is this trope in festish form. She's [[GentleGiant tall]], [[HotShounenMom mature]], [[AmazonianBeauty muscular]], stacked [[BoobsOfSteel on front]], [[BabyGotBack the back]], and [[HartmanHips the sides]] and she wields [[{{BFS}} a sword that's as big as her]]

* TheMasterOfDisguise had a major romantic subplot about Pistachio's love for Jennifer Baker ''despite'' her "tiny, butter bottom". Given the size of his mother, it looks like the Disguisey family's men think [[BiggerIsBetter bigger is ''always'' Better,]] [[{{BBW}} when it comes to women,]] [[FetishFuel especially their buttocks.]]

* ''{{Shadow of the Colossus}}''

* Ork [[FunetikAksent Shoota]] [[XtremeKoolLetterz Boyz]] specifically say this when having been upgraded with "Big Shootas" in ''{{Dawn of War}} 2. Well, with more of a FunetikAksent.

* ''{{Heroes of Might and Magic}} III'' featured "grail structures" that could be built at only one town on any map. Most of them tended to be very tall (the Colossus, the Warlords' Monument) or very wide (Aurora Borealis). They were easily better than any other non-troop-producing building you could produce, because a) they were free to build if you met the requirements; b) you could build a grail structure ''as well as'' a normal structure on the same turn in the same town, c) ''most of them were very tall; PAY ATTENTION''.
