History Main / AttackOFThe50FootWhatever

*** One Legion story told in ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' issue #287 has Positive Man, an alien transformed into a planet-sized, humanoid energy being.

** DC also has Elasti-Girl of the Comicbook/DoomPatrol who has straight growth (and shrinking) as her power as opposed to the RubberMan powers her name would normally suggest.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/MenInBlack Men in Black: The Series]]'' had the humans enormous compared to a race of tiny aliens trying some nefarious plot to become large. One alien actually did, but became a 50-foot whatever; requiring the MIB to deploy their own 50-foot whatever as well.

* Notzilla describes the very numerous {{Exp|y}}ies of Franchise/{{Godzilla}}, one of the most famous 50-foot (15-meter) whatevers.

** When the movies in ''Literature/MovingPictures'' break the barrier between reality and [[EldritchLocation the Dungeon Dimensions]], a giant copy of the lead actress, Ginger, steps out from the screen. She soon grabs the Librarian (an Orangutan) and climbs to the top of The Tower of Art, thus simultaneously parodying ''Franchise/KingKong'' and ''Film/AttackOfThe50FootWoman''.

* One ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' fanfic, poking fun at all the references other fanfics make to Digimon games and anime, took this, RevengeOfTheSequel, and ColonCancer [[ExaggeratedTrope Up to Eleven]] with the game-within-a-show-within-a-fic Digimon Explorers: Heroes Of The Space Time Continuum, Part Sixteen: The Brave New Digital World: The Attack of The Seventy Foot Kunemon From Beyond The Stars. Some members of Website/FanFictionDotNet are trying to turn this into MemeticMutation, but it's not catching on since no one can remember the name. Some other members are thinking about writing DE:HOTSTC:TBNDW:TAOFTSFKFBTS because this trope can (and does) get played for RuleOfFunny a lot in the Digimon fandom.

** The [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 third Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan]], is a polymorph who's capable of this by issue #3.

* For the video of her cover of "Doin' Time" by Music/{{Sublime}}, Music/LanaDelRey is a GiantWoman in a drive-in movie who steps out of the screen to get revenge on a cheating boyfriend.

* The music video for "Music/{{Miserable}}" by {{Music/Lit}} has the band playing on a giant Creator/PamelaAnderson to entertain her. A few of the places they play include her butt, her legs, her high heeled shoes, and her face. [[spoiler:[[ConsumingPassion She eats them]].]]

* In ''ComicBook/EightBillionGenies'', one common wish is to grow gigantic, with everyone from children to adults wishing to tower over buildings. One page shows that a man who wished to grow so tall he could be seen from space... and [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome promptly begins to suffocate, since his head is in the stratosphere.]]

* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'': [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2018/06/24 One of the announced movies on TV]] is "Attack of the 50-Foot Calzone".

* The {{Ecchi}} comedy ''Manga/{{Colorful}}''. In one episode, there is a movie about a giant man with a camera. [[spoiler: He shrinks back to normal when he spots a {{panty shot}}.]] In a later episode, there's a [[HugeSchoolgirl 50 foot]] [[{{joshikousei}} high school girl]].

** Special mention has to be made to the stars of Episode 50 of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure2020''. [[spoiler: Holydramon, Goddramon and Milleniumon are large enough that one of the latter's claws dwarfs mountains and makes [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] (themselves now at the size of your typical kaiju) look like ants, and then there's [=ZeedMilleniumon=], who makes the aforementioned Holydramon and Goddramon look ''microscopic'' in comparison.]]

** Another time involved an amusement park island with Pokémon-shaped automatons that were several times the natural size of the critters they emulated - and the cast was stuck ON the island for the duration of the episode.

* Let's not forget ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. It went from the 50 ft tall variety in the beginning all the way to the size of a galaxy! What can you do when your opponent is also that size? Obviously you throw galaxies at them. Super Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is stated to be roughly 3,5% of the size of the observable universe. Its only weapon? A huge energy-drill that's 10 times bigger than the thing itself. The Anti-Spiral counters by growing to 3,5% the size of the observable universe and wielding a 10 times as big drill... Yes, the final battle has over 77% of the observable universe occupied by mecha and their weapons!

* One of Keima's captured targets in ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'' grew enormous due to her desire to [[spoiler: become "bigger" than a dojo leader.]]

** [[http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/spider-girl/90-1.jpg One issue]] of ''ComicBook/SpiderGirl'', in a clear parody of the whole thing, has a cover with the heroine, grown to ridiculous size, with her parents in the foreground throwing out: "She may be a 50 foot monster, but '''she's still our daughter!'''" In the actual issue, this turned out to be part of a LotusEaterMachine a villain stuffed her into.

* In ''ComicBook/SoulsearchersAndCompany'' #4, Kelly's attempt to remove Janocz's curse accidentally transforms her baby sister into a 50 ft. monster with the personality of a toddler that goes on a rampage through Mystic Grove.

* the [[WebAnimation/HelpMeDoctorHazama Help Me! Dr.Hazama]] fanfic known as ''Disaster Piece Theatre'' has [[spoiler: Professor Kokenoe grow to gigantic sizes after her rage consumes her. She]] is brought down after Ragna shrinks [[spoiler: her]] with an antidote. It was, indeed, a strange day.

** Taken [[ExaggeratedTrope Up to Eleven]] in ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesIILostAtSea'' - the sea monster is said to dwarf the ''Empire State Building!''

* ''Fanfic/ItsADangerousBusinessGoingOutYourDoor'': One of these poses the final threat that Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity face in their quest -- [[spoiler: a World Snake]]. While exact measurements are never given, one fan did the math based on the in-universe estimates, and calculated that this creature is roughly the size of ''Guam''.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/HereThereBeMonsters'', Doctor Sivana douses Red Crusher with a growth serum which turns him into a fifty-foot giant, and then he sends the mace-wielding human soldier out to rampage through North America.
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBoilingPoint'' features a Dire version of a Mandragora in Chapter 6 which is big enough to swallow [[spoiler:Skara]] whole. And, much like its normal counterpart, has a SmallRoleBigImpact deal, since [[spoiler: them nearly eating Skara caused her to blurt out how Amity broke Boscha during a rant to Willow.]]
* ''Fanfic/BecomingATrueInvader'': [[BigBad The Employer's]] genetically engineered [[spoiler: moose]] SuperSoldiers can grow to massive size by devouring each other. One on Vort grows to the size of a skyscraper, and on Irk one grows more than three times that size.

** The leading woman is turned into a 50 foot (well, 49-foot, 11 and 1/2-inch) woman by being doused with [[ImportedAlienPhlebotinum Quantonium]]. Naturally...
** Insectosaurus, a 350-ft grub [[{{Kaiju}} from Japan (where else?)]].
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieCandaceAgainstTheUniverse'': During the climax of the film, [[spoiler: Mama, the mind controlling plant, grows to a massive size due to the large amounts of carbon dioxide on the planet before coming to life, becoming the FinalBoss of the movie.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SinbadLegendOfTheSevenSeas'' has [[BigBad Eris, Goddess of Chaos]]. She's a little different in that she [[{{Sizeshifter}} intentionally switches between being normal size and 50 foot size with no problem]]. It seems to mostly be for the sake of intimidation and just because she can, as she favors [[BatmanGambit manipulating people]] and sending the occasional minion over stomping on random things herself.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMutantMayhem'': Near the end of the movie, [[spoiler: Superfly's mutagenic DoomsdayDevice backfiring turns him into "Superduperfly", a gigantic [[BodyOfBodies amalagam of mutated animals]] that goes on a rampage in New York City.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'': At the climax of the movie, [[spoiler: a squabble between Mei and her mother Ming causes the latter to lose both her temper and control of her sealed panda spirit. She turns into a building-sized red panda, big enough and [[UnstoppableRage angry enough]] to cause serious property damage to the Toronto [=SkyDome=]]].

--> '''Scientist examining giant tomato''': "Gentlemen, it's worse than we thought. This, God help us, is a ''cherry tomato''."

* Seen in ''Film/{{Cloverfield}}'', which featured a monster that can only be described as [[spoiler: a 400-foot whatever. Seriously, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CloverfieldMonster.jpeg look]] at the thing!]].

-->'''Young boy looking up as SHGA walks above him''': I wanna go on that ride Daddy!\\
'''Young boy's father looking up with a grin''': Me too son, me too.

-->'''Female Japanese tourist''': Gojira!
-->'''Male Japanese tourist''': No!... Big baby!

* The ''Indominus rex'' is stated to be 50ft long in ''Film/JurassicWorld''. What makes it an example of this trope is that she's [[MixAndMatchCritters part Tyrannosaurus rex and part Velociraptor]], and she's bigger than '''both'''.

* At the climax of ''Film/ThisIsTheEnd'', Jay and Seth come face to face with Satan himself - and he's the size of a skyscraper, made of hardened magma, has multiple eel head sticking out of his back, and is ''anatomically correct''.

* ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', wherein it is Portal cakes, tonics, and [[MushroomSamba pieces of mushroom]] that cause Alice's vast changes in size - though these changes are irregular: when Alice first expands in the White Rabbit's house, she appears to be as normally proportioned as ever, but when she eats part of the Caterpillar's mushroom, her neck is described as having grown serpentine and winding compared to the rest of her.

* Giants from ''Literature/ThePrismPentad'' are quite huge. The same goes from the BigBad's current form, [[OurDragonsAreDifferent the Dragon]]. [[spoiler: The GreaterScopeVillain Rajaat push this even further and turn into a colossus made of thunder and clouds.]]

* In ''Literature/{{Shadowkeep}}'' we have [[spoiler: the Demon King Dal'Brad, described as being taller and heavier than a medium-sized medieval city]].

* ''Series/AshVsEvilDead'': In the closing moments of the penultimate episode, the [[GreaterScopeVillain Dark Ones]] summon Kandar the Destroyer, a demon roughly the size of Godzilla, who goes on a rampage in Elk Grove and shrugs off everything the military throws at it (and in fact, grows stronger from the aggression). [[spoiler: Ash manages to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu kill it]] thanks to a borrowed tank.]]

* Parodied on ''Series/{{Taskmaster}}''. In the first episode of Series 10, the contestants are given the task of making the largest thing they can find appear to vanish without using any kind of editing trickery (i.e. without cutting from a shot of the object present to a shot where the object as been removed). Johnny Vegas decides to interpret this through a combination of this trope and political commentary on Jeremy Corbyn's decisive defeat in the 2019 British general election, by staging a "400ft" taxidermied mutant socialist chicken, unleashed by Corbyn upon his political enemies, attacking a paper version of Westminster.

* Music/BubbleButt features "Buttzilla," a GiantWoman who can fly, SummonBackupDancers, and produce prehensile bicycle pumps from her mouth that she uses to inflate women's butts. [[spoiler: She also uses the hose to grab a backup dancer and eat her alive.]]

* The opening ceremony for the 2012 London Olympics featured the attack of a 50 foot tall Lord Voldemort, who was then chased off by an army of Mary Poppins.

** Supreme King Z-ARC from ''ARC-V'' is around the size of the Earthbound Immortals - and his truly bafflingly insane wingspan and tail length add to this.

** Probably the ultimate example of this in both ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' and possibly all of gaming is [[spoiler: [[TrueFinalBoss Chakravartin]], who's extension of his power is so big his basic projectiles are Planets and Small Stars, he throws suns at you later, and Galaxies are small in comparison to him. He's really , REALLY big.]]

-->The evil alien nasties have invaded the earth - but not in person! They have abducted some camels from earth and used devious genetic engineering to mutate the normally harmless beasts into 90 foot high, laser spitting, neutronium shielded death camels!

** The final chapter of ''Videogame/DestroyallHumans1'' was called [[spoiler:Attack of the 50 Foot President]] in a reference to the 50s B Movie. Funnily enough, you fight [[spoiler: a ''50 foot robo-president BrainInAJar'']].
** ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans2'' has a [[Awesome/BossesOtherGames boss fight]] in [[spoiler: Takoshima]] with [[spoiler: Kojira]].
* Referenced in ''VideoGame/DiscworldII'', where you see a movie poster advertising ''Attack of the 50-Foot Dwarf''. [[spoiler: Also, in the endgame, a 50-Foot Elf Queen comes out of the cinema screen and you have to defeat her.]]

* ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'' downplays this. Rock + Rock turns Kirby into an oversized MightyGlacier version of himself. Take FridgeLogic and the fact that Kirby's 8" tall, and you realize that the Rock + Rock Kirby is 1'04"! (50ft would actually be 37.5 times as large as Rock + Rock Kirby)

* ''VideoGame/{{Lemegeton}}'''s first episode ends with a fight against Gaap, a ''huge'' demon who may ''literally'' be fifty feet tall. The best way to describe him is a kind of humanoid fort that periodically sweeps one side of the room with a [[TakenForGranite petrifying beam]].

* ''VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo''. [[spoiler: At the end of the game, which corresponds with the end of ''Matrix Revolutions'', two avatars of the Wachowski siblings themselves [[AddressingThePlayer speak directly to the player]] and explain that, while the Martyr ending was OK for the movies and the story, it just wouldn't work that well for a videogame. So instead, all the Smiths get together and grab various bits of destroyed junk and debris, as well as a giant pair or sunglasses from an ad, and for a GIANT Smith.]]

** The UpdatedRerelease, ''Royal'', [[spoiler: has Adam Kadmon, the Persona of [[BigBadFriend Dr. Maruki]] also grow to this size... and the player ''doesn't'' have access to a similar ability.]]

* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'' gives the ultimate DLC challenge against [[spoiler: Tokyo local protector deity Masakado. While in other games is a normal sized human, in this case is a being so giant that skyscrapers protrude from his shoulders, his hands are giant roots ripped from the earth, his waist is connected to the ground via magma, and is so big that he could be measured in kilometers. He can completely cover the whole city of Tokyo (creating the Firmament) and also host a complete medieval society on his very back (several villages, a big lake and fortified city with several protective rings, huge castle included). His inner body includes Naraku, a giant maze cave which is home to several demons connected to the freaking Sky Tower that links both Tokyo and Mikado. And he's also ''strong enough to tank a last-gen nuke''. You actually can't beat him in the game, you have to calm him down in ten minutes (ten turns in game) so he can tank the Nuke before it turns Tokyo into Blasted Tokyo. [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130710192505/megamitensei/images/7/78/Masakado_Complete_Form_SMTIV.png/ A pic ]] for reference]].

-->'''Bentley''': You've always wanted to get closer to her. Can't get much closer than climbing up her boot laces!

** ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' has Bowser being super-charged on adrenaline and growing super giant in order to battle his hijacked castle, a [[HumongousMecha giant robot]] coming out of nowhere, a train, and [[spoiler: ''Princess Peach's Castle'' (as remodeled by Fawful)]], preceded by Bowser being crushed by the buildings.
** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'' has Luigi grow to giant size in the Dream World to face off against giant bosses. [[spoiler: In a nod to the previous game, he ultimately gets to face off against a giant Bowser in what's probably his most triumphant moment in the series.]]

** ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarisaLand'' does this for [[spoiler: the final boss]].

** ''Cataclysm'' is bringing in Whale Sharks and [[spoiler: Neltharion himself, who is FREAKING HUGE]]!

* ''Literature/HitherbyDragons'' gives us [[http://imago.hitherby.com/?p=308 Night of the Antinomian]], about a 300ft tall, 14th- century Church reformer.
* {{Shapeshift|ing}}er Jimmy T in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' did this when all of [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] was under attack. He first transformed into a 50 foot woman, and when he got blasted, he went ''bigger''. He shifted into an 80-foot Godzilla copy.

* In Creator/JossWhedon's Supervillain Musical ''WebVideo/DrHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' the revenge daydreams of the titular MadScientist character include him turning into a 50 foot giant and stomping on his arch nemesis.

** And now in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' [[spoiler: Gwen has had her moment too, growing very large to intimidate Zombozo the second time she takes her Anodite form]].

* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'' with giant extremists of the planet (ironically named) Gargantia. The subversion comes through the fact that the natural height of a Gargantian is six inches and the 6 foot terrorists are actually turning off the tech that the heroes are using to avoid this problem in their natural height (earlier, Booster was a little upset that his seat for a ceremony was a bank).

** Spoofed in the WhatIf episode, with Bender coming to earth as a 500-foot version of his regular self, and Dr. Zoidberg being supersized to battle him. (The spoof aspect comes when Zoidberg is seduced by power and begins destroying the city himself - "Ah, the famed Apollo theater. "Boo" ''me'' off stage on Open-mic night, huh? I'll show you!")

* ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'': Mega-Mutes are bigger than most buildings and are some of the few animals that still act like animals. They usually have quite a few extra appendages, like leg, ears and/or noses. [[spoiler: Towards the end of the first season it turns out Kipo is able to transform into a Mega-Jaguar due to her parents' genetic experiments. And halfway through season 2 the Mega-Monkey is revealed to be her mother suffering from ShapeshifterModeLock.]]

** Homer turned into a gigantic, carnivorous blob as part of one Halloween episode. In the same episode, we see a 50-foot Lenny bemoaning that everyone's paying attention to Homer - except for [[{{Invisibility}} Invisible Carl]].

* There are several ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episodes that feature this trope. In one episode Squidward becomes a giant after getting sprayed with plant fertilizer, and in another episode [=SpongeBob=] inadvertently becomes a giant [[spoiler: after shrinking everybody in Bikini Bottom]]. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, a giant (to them) Plankton is returning from his vacation only to find the inhabitants small enough]].

** For non-Fusion examples, the Diamonds. Blue and Yellow Diamond are between 30 to 50 feet tall; at one point Yellow is shown holding two Pearls (who are about human-size) comfortably in her hand. White Diamond, who wasn't seen until near the end of season five, turned out to be even taller than that. [[spoiler: Pink Diamond averts this — she's only about twice as tall as Pearl.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'': Now granted, your average Cybertronian is generally around 20ft tall to begin with, but some of the larger 'bots like Metroplex and Fortress Maximus made them look tiny by comparison. Taken [[ExaggeratedTrope Up to Eleven]] with Primus and Unicron, who transform into ''planets.''

** The [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 second Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan]], is a polymorph who's capable of this by issue #3.

* The Music/{{Blondie}} song "The Attack Of The Giant Ants" is a [[LyricalDissonance surprisingly upbeat]] tune about, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin giant ants]] coming from space and destroying all of humanity.

** The Blob That Ate Everyone definitely falls into this category as well. Averted in [[Series/{{Goosebumps}} the TV adaptation]], since it's much smaller.

** ''Manga/LuckyStar'' has a ShoutOut to this in the form of CovertPervert Hiyori fantasizing Minami and Yutaka as lesbians, one of the fantasies being a 50-foot Yut[[OlderThanTheyLook aka]] posing just like the original.
** ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' made a ShoutOut to the movie with Izzy doing the same pose.

* ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'''s second arc has a battle between two mountain-sized giants: red horned devil [[Franchise/TeenTitans Trigon]] and the humanoid embodiment of God's Wrath known as ComicBook/TheSpectre.

** An issue of ''Franchise/{{Lobo}}'' has a woman spurned by the Main Man for being [[ACupAngst too flat]] jumping onto a vat of breast growing cream, causing her to grow to gigantic proportions and track him down, then giving him a taste of MarshmallowHell.

** Monster units in ''VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten'' have the ability to fuse with another monster to approximately triple them in size.
** ''VideoGame/Disgaea7VowOfTheVirtueless'' features the Dokeda MAX system, allowing units to grow to titanic sizes to loom over the entire map. Aside from cracking open similarly sized Treasure Chests, these units can also hit the entire map with their attack.

** The upcoming ''VideoGame/Disgaea7'' features the Dokeda MAX system, allowing units to grow to titanic sizes to loom over the entire map. Aside from cracking open similarly sized Treasure Chests, these units can also hit the entire map with their attack.

* The video for the Music/BeastieBoys ''Intergalactic'' features a giant robot (piloted by three scientists played by the group members) battling a giant sea creature in Tokyo in a parody of kaiju films.

* Dante in ''Manga/BlackClover'' can use his Body Magic to turn into a giant, musclebound being with enough physical strength to obliterate the ground with a punch and send the resulting countless debris flying with an arm swing.

* The main characters in ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek 2}}'' bake a giant gingerbread man named Mongo to lay siege to the castle. And in the Shrek prequel ''WesternAnimation/PussInBoots'' the Mother of All Gooses (well, one Golden Goose) rampages through a Spanish town.
