* [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Ragnarök]] is really the Nightmare Fuel-version of HilariousInHindsight. First considering Hati: a wolf big enough to ''eat the moon''. He must be larger than the earth and have his own gravity field. Then consider the environmental effects of the moon being eaten. Then Jörmungadr, he encircles the whole god damned earth! His head must be larger than Great Britain! It said that when he writhes it causes tidal waves. Considering his size those are freaking Film/TwoThousandTwelve sized waves. Then Fenrir. He eats ''the freaking SUN''! How larger is he really? Considering the sun is more than a hundred times bigger than earth, Fenrir is even ''bigger''. And Níðhöggr is still supposed to be larger than Fenrir. And when Fenrir eats the sun, half of the world would see him do it, then 8 minutes later the sky would go black forever and the Earth would likely be thrown out into deep space along with the rest of the solar system unless it would all be drgged into Fenrir. Fimbulwinter indeed. Granted, the Norsemen knew little about gravity or how big the sun and the moon really was, but this is not the point of this trope is it?

** There's actually not many accounts apart from Neil Gaiman's book that say Loki didn't enjoy [[InterspeciesRomance his business with the horse]]. Then again, this is [[AnythingThatMoves Loki we're talking about]].

** Nidhöggr isn't much better itself. A massive dragon or serpent who lives among corpses whom it consumes. It constantly gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil, trying to cut it off from the well Kvergjelme, so it will rot and die. Only the efforts of the Norns, as well as the life force of the tree itself keeps the wounds healed. Considering that Yggdrasil is the foundation of the Norse cosmology, Nidhöggr is essentially trying to destroy the world.

This trope is not a stock phrase and has been renamed to Media Scaremongering to reflect this.
