* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' is possibly the crowned king of this trope, providing an on point illustration of it about every other episode using a wide variety of monsters and MechaMooks. Standard example: the villain of the week summons a monster or robot or something. With much struggle and an elongated fight sequence, the Titans are either just barely able to defeat the adversary or make their retreat. Later on in the episode, the villain tries the same trick again, but decides to spice it up a bit by either making the goon 20 times larger or replicating it to form a small army. Despite the blatantly increased odds, the Titans are still able to defeat the both the goons and the VillainOfTheWeek with half the sweat.

General clarification on works content


** Optimus Prime vs Unicron. In the "One Shall Rise" multi-parter, Optimus Prime has some difficulty defeating a rock avatar of Unicron, but eventually manages to destroy it. Soon after, Unicron manifests dozens of rock avatars, all of whom Optimus Prime obliterates like Insecticons: one slash, one shot.

** Quite possibly the best show of this trope comes from the movie ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo''. In the intro, the Titans are seen fighting a single colorful villain, who beats them all back with ease and escapes once captured. Mid way through the film they are all attacked by one of these while they are separated. At the first part of the final battle, the BigBad summons a room full of these minions, which the Titans blaze through with little difficulty. Then in the next part of the final battle he summons an army of them, who might as well not even be there at this point as each Titan destroys 3-4 of them per camera pan. The big difference is that [[spoiler:the Titans has learned that the mooks aren't real or sentient, meaning they're not holding back like they would to capture actual living beings, as Cyborg notes. In fact, if you watch the opening closely, you can see them gradually stepping up the force used. Even with them not holding back, and the BigBad's imperfect control, they are still overwhelmed.]]
