History ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill / WebOriginal

* The [[http://www.orionsarm.com/xcms.php?r=oaeg-view-article&egart_uid=4b539f86ef300 displacement cannon]] from ''WebOriginal/OrionsArm'' is absurdly powerful. It fires a "bubble" of compressed space-time that is the size of an atom, infinitely maneuverable and travels at the speed of light. When it reaches the target it travels between the molecules in its armor and then collapses to release an swarm of monopoles that convert the mass of the target directly into energy, virtually assuring its destruction. How much overkill is this? A single displacement cannon destroyed a fleet of 10000 ships in ''four seconds''.

** There's even a [[Film / Rogue One Rogue One]] version of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc1cjQkhD5U video with Orson Krennic admiring the destruction of the DVD..]]

** [[WellIntentionedExtremist The ☽☽☽ Initiative]] is fond of using excessive force. Being self-appointed guardians of humanity and having access to hyperadvanced sci-fi weaponry will do that to you. A good showcase of this is[[http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-3922 SCP-3922]], a device that allows ☽☽☽'s forces to enter and police recordings of fictional media played near it. Their brutality when it comes to enforcing justice can get ridiculous; the test run on ''Film/AClockworkOrange'' involves the offending characters getting gunned down by a machine gun firing squad for 50 minutes each. There is justification for some of their over-the-topness; they exist in and operate out of an afterlife where nearly everything has CompleteImmortality. Their weapons and methods are designed to incapacitate immortals, and they don't seem to see much reason to tone them down for when it comes to sending a living person to said afterlife.

-->808. Covering fire does not include nuclear weapons.
-->901. In the middle of the Black Ops a diversion is not blowing off the top twenty floors of the building.
-->1016. Even if spells are use them or lose them, I will not waste Meteor Swarms on a goblin.
-->1167. I can stop rolling at 7x dead.
-->1257. No, the answer to the problem is not to make a gatling gun out of bazookas.
-->1357. Preliminary saturation carpet bombing is not automatically Plan A.
-->1517. Checking to see if the Mad Slasher is dead is ok, dismembering him with a shotgun is overkill.
-->1537. My Rogue Trader does not need to announce his arrival with eight hours of orbital bombardment.
-->1595. We aren't raising the villain from the dead because we haven't killed him enough yet.
-->1606. If my fireballs always form a mushroom cloud, time to tone it down a bit.
-->1666. If it takes five minutes for the debris to stop falling, I need to pick a smaller gun.
-->1819. Strapping dynamite to an arrow is an acceptable cliche. Not the whole keg of gunpowder.
-->2139. You can't critically hit with a nuclear weapon.

* ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlue Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction]]'': after he's already killed [[spoiler:Agent South]], Agent Washington goes on to dispose of the body by shooting at it, incinerating it, and detonating a bunch of exploding crates next to it. This is apparently standard procedure.
** In order to explain away not having an Agent Florida, Councilor [[spoiler: blows up the entire physical state of Florida.]] Yeah.

* Anything done to Wiki/{{SCP|Foundation}}-[[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682 682]] tends to end up like this. Seeing as it [[AdaptiveAbility adapts]] to [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-t-98816-oc108-682 whatever]] is thrown at it and wants to [[OmnicidalManiac kill us all]], this makes a bit of sense.

* Literature/WhateleyUniverse: Team Kimba's plans to stop [[PersonOfMassDestruction Dark Tennyo]] in their holographic simulation training. One plan ended up with fifty blocks of (simulated) city utterly destroyed. One plan ended up wiping out the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. and plunging the Earth into nuclear winter.

* In ''WebVideo/DeathNoteTheAbridgedSeriesKpts4tv'' [[spoiler: Matt]] gets [[MoreDakka shot up, hit by a barrage of missiles]], and [[NukeEm NUKED.]]

* In ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', [[BigBad Lord Slug]], after blasting Goku literally 2-feet in front of him with a [[BreathWeapon Colossal mouth beam cannon]] recites the exact line.
* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': In [=VRcade=], Cody defeats his (headless) Darkness counterpart by smashing a potion of HollywoodAcid into the hole in his neck, followed by a harpoon. Then he tricks a baby White Killer Eel to slither into the hole in Darkness Cody's neck, which causes him to dissolve.
** In the same episode, Dave defeats his Darkness counterpart by pushing him through a grate until all of his body parts are severd.

* ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'', to the point where some wryly observe it's almost a competition to see who can fabricate the most over-the-top, graphic death possible.

* In Bully, Red Dress Girl is so enraged at the fact that Blue Boy cheated on her that she invites him to a café, [[DisproportionateRetribution 'POISONS HIS FOOD', kills the owner of said café, and then drowns Blue Boy in a toilet]] just to make sure he's really dead.

* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': Doctor Anna Ripley gets carved up, sliced in half, throttled by vines, losses her right arm, and finally catches a pair of arrows to the throat and heart courtesy of a vengeful, collective Vox Machina in retribution for [[spoiler: killing Percy]].
