*** In ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'', Superman only needs a small puff instead of a sustained breath to freeze Steppenwolf's axe (unlike the above theatrical cut), and he shatters the weapon himself with a small punch afterwards.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': Aladdin notices Jafar using his SerpentStaff to brainwash the Sultan, so he takes it and destroys it (as pictured above). Not that it matters though, because once Jafar uses the Genie to wish to become the most powerful sorcerer in the world, he magically gains a new staff.

* Like the original animated movie, ''Film/{{Aladdin|2019}}'' destroys Jafar's SerpentStaff, though again once Jafar wishes to become a powerful sorcerer, he gains a new one, rendering the destruction moot.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'': An episode had Miss Bellum battle Sedusa, and their fight is soon taken to a pool where Sedusa's hair is soaked to the point of being rendered useless. The Girls and Bellum seize the opportunity to have her hair cut off to render her powerless, though NegativeContinuity in later episodes (except ''Aspirations'') shows that she has gotten her hair back.

* Played with in ''Animation/BoBoiBoyTheMovie''. [[HopeCrusher Bora Ra]] delivers his most devastating attacks with a large [[UnrealisticBlackHole black-hole-powered]] [[DropTheHammer hammer]], with which he absorbs [=BoBoiBoy=] into, seemingly sealing his fate. However, [=BoBoiBoy=] breaks out by [[LiteralSplitPersonality splitting into 5]], destroying the hammer in the process.

* ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime: In Toadwood Forest, right before you enter the Vim Factory, you encounter the 1337 Hammer Bros, who are mind-controlled by the Shroobs' antennas on their helmets. The antennas gave them special powers but also made them mindless slaves. When the baby bros trashed their antennas, the Hammer Bros express gratitude and as a thank you for freeing them, give them hammers and teach them how to use them, and then after you go into the Vim Factory and reunite with the adults, they even show up to teach the adult bros how to use them once the baby bros free them.

The villain's reaction can be anything from [[InelegantBlubbering breaking down into a sobbing mess]] if he/she loved that weapon to a VillainousBreakdown as a BerserkButton had been pressed to mild annoyance and finding a Plan B to [[DidntNeedThoseAnyway indifferent shrugging]] and switching to fisticuffs or another weapon to having an OhCrap moment.

** In the rematch with Rito after getting Ninjazords, initially they're winning but he turns the tide by breaking out a flamethrower, none of the individual zords have an answer for it, so they form the Ninja Megazord. After he misses when firing at it, they use the finisher to break his flamethrower, which is responded to with an angry "Hey!", they then form the Ninja MegaFalconzord to finish the job (Rito retreats after being hit with the finisher).



* ''SeriesVRTroopers'': Double subverted with Gunslinger, blasting his gun and knocking away his sword didn't faze him as he had another weapon, but he had a VillainousBreakdown when a midair flying kick shorted out his shield.

** Downplayed in Shaider (one of the source material shows for VR Troopers) when there was a turtle monster battling Shaider, at the end of the battle, Shaider destroyed his trident by cutting off the side tips and turning it into a spear, likely to humiliate the monster by asserting dominance more than disarm it, showing it that its weapon was useless against his, then eventually after the monster dropped the spear that remained of his trident, Shaider grabbed it and the turtle monster was ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice with his own weapon before being finished off before he could pull it out.



* ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' during the final battle you splinter Gruntilda's broom. She doesn't seem to care (even though the broom was alive) even though it does greatly reduce her mobility and changes the course of the battle a bit.
