Trampled Underfoot

Simply put, this is about comparatively small "good" characters or things being crushed underfoot by comparatively gigantic dangers. This can take two main forms.
First, a "straight" one, commonplace in cartoons involving mice, Incredible Shrinking Man scenarios, or normal-size humans who have to deal with Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever — but usually that's more a desperate attempt to avoid being trampled. Often associated with an Implacable Man or The Juggernaut.
Then, secondly, it can be used as a small Kick the Dog moment for a character so mean, evil or determined that nothing stands in their way; and just to prove it to the audience...read more

Biography

Simply put, this is about comparatively small "good" characters or things being crushed underfoot by comparatively gigantic dangers. This can take two main forms. First, a "straight" one, commonplace in cartoons involving mice, Incredible Shrinking Man scenarios, or normal-size humans who have to deal with Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever — but usually that's more a desperate attempt to avoid being trampled. Often associated with an Implacable Man or The Juggernaut. Then, secondly, it can be used as a small Kick the Dog moment for a character so mean, evil or determined that nothing stands in their way; and just to prove it to the audience, the camera will turn to a shot of their feet (or their mount's feet), as they walk over and stomp on, crush or trample underfoot things that symbolize innocence, peace, happiness, or niceness, such as: A flower or flowers A doll A small, cute woodland animal Someone's body (or skull) Fragile wedding china Framed photo with breakable glass Compare Giant Foot of Stomping and Fearsome Foot. Can be considered a Sub-Trope of Cruelty by Feet. Named after (but has absolutely nothing to do with) a song by Led Zeppelin. Not related to Curb-Stomp Battle, although a particularly brutal one-sided fight may involve actual stomping. If the villain intentionally uses their foot to trample an object of sentimental value to a character, that's Crush the Keepsake.
