I can't believe you'd give me a bigger target. Did you think that size would increase your chance of winning? You idiot!

—Colonel Roy Mustang to Envy, Fullmetal Alchemist

"Your new form is burning through more power than your body can supply. You should have waited until you were used to this form and knew how to regulate it before you started picking fights."

—Goku to Frieza, Dragon Ball Super

WHAT THE FUCK?! Are you telling me a regular Shredder can survive a seven story fall and a dump truck crushing him, but a Super Shredder can't survive a bunch of wood falling on him? Bullshit, bullshit, BULLSHIT!

—The Nostalgia Critic

It has that depressingly common problem in games nowadays that the giant boss fights are all really fucking easy... the actual fight is just a huge lumpy mess winding up its attacks for so long that we've got time to prize off the dodge button, flick it across the room and recover it from between the sofa cushions before we actually need to press it, and then it gormlessly zones out and lets you whale on its obvious weak point for thirty seconds.

When the big boss expands like an asshole in the prison showers and takes on his city destroying form, my first reaction should not be, "Phew, that's a relief."

— Yahtzee, in the Zero Punctuation review of Dm C Devil May Cry

So they happily skipped in
To where they've never been,
And in the corner found a giant crack.

"Who are you?" they said.
The crack just growled instead,
And made himself very big and mean.

He said, "I am Crack Master!"
But just then, the wall plaster
Began to crumble to the floor.

And where the monster stood
Were only beams of wood;
He destroyed himself trying to be mean.

— Cracks, Sesame Street

Hatred and Malice Incarnate wasn't really any different with five hearts, single-layer stamina wheel, and no Champions than it was with twenty-seven hearts, triple-layer stamina wheel, and four Champions, but that was in Draco's notes, too. "Calamity Ganon is a test of your preparation, and will be wildly different depending on how many Divine Beasts, Shrines, sidequests, and upgrades you have completed; Dark Beast Ganon is a test of your skill as a player, and will only be different if you undertake it before and after you achieve familiarity with horseback archery."

— Author's notes on this chapter of a The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild fan novelization

I was more than Blair and Copper and Dog, now. I was a giant with the shapes of worlds to choose from, more than a match for the last lone man who stood against me.

No match, though, for the dynamite in his hand.

Now I'm little more than pain and fear and charred stinking flesh. What sentience I have is awash in confusion. I am stray and disconnected thoughts, doubts and the ghosts of theories.

—Things, by Peter Watts
