I hate to be that person, but could whoever’s in charge of the video examples edit the “Hulked-out Spear” vid so it links to ‘Primal (2019)’ instead of just ‘Primal’? Apparently, the ‘Primal’-to-‘Primal (2019)’ redirect doesn’t include that vid.

There seem to be a few examples which are "If we saw this from the perspective of the mooks, the hero would be an unstoppable monster" rather than "We're seeing this from the perspective of the mooks, and the hero is an unstoppable monster", which I'm not sure is exactly the trope.

And I don't understand the Warhammer 40K example at all, which appears to be more "From the perspective of the heroes, the unstoppable monsters are unstoppable monsters".

About the quote under the Superman image . . .yea it's a neat shout out to the Terminator, but Superman CAN be bargained and reasoned with. Sure if you try to make a bargain like "Let me off the hook and I'll split my stolen loot with you" it won't work, but there's been plenty of times he's told villains "we don't need to fight." Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

And obviously as someone with emotions he DOES feel pity, remorse, and fear.

A poorly balanced game of laser tag can be this. I was once put in an arena with a small family, me vs them. They were utterly unprepared for what hit them. Afterwards, they said it seemed as though I was everywhere and nowhere. They very nearly invoked this trope, even.

Proposing the following example (I'm not sure)

We have three moments of it in the Sailor Moon anime, when the Sailor Senshi assaults the Dark Kingdom base. The first is when the surviving DD Girls (two having already been killed by Sailor Jupiter self-sacrifice) face Sailor Venus, the most experienced of the Sailor Senshi: they face her with everything they have, Venus appears to have died, and then, when she moves her arm and prepares a Crescent Beam point-blank on one of them, we can see the DD Girls being terrified, with one of them being too scared even to move. Later the two survivors realize that Sailor Venus died by Heroic Sacrifice and return to fight, one of them dies killing Sailor Mars... And then Sailor Mars grabs the leg of the last DD Girl, who realizes she's about to being burned alive. The final is when we see Queen Beryl, having barely survived her encounter with Sailor Moon, fuses with Queen Metallia and fights her, and we are treated to her viewpoint as she fights her, struggles, and is about to defeat her when the spirits of the Sailor Senshi join forces with Sailor Moon and turn the tides on her.
