For added atmosphere, play this video while reading on. Nothing says "This is dramatic, ominous and/or heavy foreshadowing!" like an ionic ground-to-air charge-release — in other words, lightning, and the accompanying thunder. Whether underlining the villain's apparent success, or the heroes' last-second arrival, you can just bet that the thunder is anything but a random result of the global weather-system. There are variants of this: The Thunderous Underline marks a recently-spoken sentence or word as particularly important, illuminates a recently-arrived character as particularly dangerous and/or sinister, or provide appropriate mood lightning for a villainous laugh. This is frequently lampshaded, subverted, or just plain mocked, though it still gets played straight on occasion. In The Thunderous Confrontation, a fierce thunderstorm provides an appropriately chaotic background to a battle — of weapons or of wills. Usually, it will be the final, climactic confrontation between hero and villain, and you can just bet that the weather will clear up as soon as the hero's won. Frequently, the thunderstorm will play an active part in the battle, with lightning striking exposed targets, starting fires, causing trees to fall, or just making the Airborne Cavalry unable to come to the hero's aid. Almost always played straight. A Storm Is Coming adds thunder as a sound effect to a dramatically brewing storm as part of the Foreshadowing. Often far off in the distance and with its lightning not visible; conversely, if lightning flashes had not had audible thunder earlier, thunder may indicate that the storm is closing in. It may also thunder with the storm clouds directly overhead but no rain yet. Thunder Equals Downpour occurs when the thunder announces the torrential downpour, for which there is no other clue. God Is Displeased and a well-timed thunderclap from above signals that a character's sins may merit some Divine Punishment. If they don't repent, a Bolt of Divine Retribution may be next. Say some extra prayers if there's a God of Thunder on the scene. Generally Played for Laughs. In the past, the stock sound effect for this was "Castle Thunder", which now is only used for a retro feel. Interestingly, almost all Hollywood thunder occurs simultaneously with the lightning flash (obviously averted when said lightning is blowing up trees and power lines right in the middle of the scene). See also Lightning Reveal. This will not overlap with Gray Rain of Depression unless the person is angry as well as sad. An example of Empathic Environment. See also Thunder Shock, Fear of Thunder. Also see It Was a Dark and Stormy Night. Compare Lightning Can Do Anything, related to Stop Motion Lighting. |

In the second episode of the Ranma ½ anime, Tatewaki Kuno introduces himself as "The Blue Thunder of Furinkan High" with an appropriately-timed ominous thunder. This is a deliberate subversion, as Kuno is ye originale Martial Arts Butt-Monkey for the entire series. A later episode (and manga chapter) shows Ryouga showing up at the Tendo Dojo for the first time, having tracked down Ranma there. Just as he declares his intention to kill Ranma, lightning illuminates his features (a bit more dramatic in the animated version, where it lights up the whole scene.) |

In the The Outer Limits (1963) episode "Specimen: Unknown", a thunderstorm rages overhead as deadly alien plants spread out from a spaceship crash. The humans are in despair as they believe that the rain from the storm will cause the plants to spread more quickly. Instead the plants shrivel and die when exposed to water, so the storm actually saves the human race. This is a rare case where the thunderstorm works to the good guys' advantage. | |

Supernatural: In "What Is and What Should Never Be", the rumble of thunder is heard as Dean finishes his speech at his father's grave. A rumble of thunder is heard when Castiel is first introduced, at the moment we see the shadow of his angel wings unfurling. Archangel Raphael and Lucifer use this trope for dramatic emphasis; it's implied they're directly affecting the weather with their powers. When Dean first meets Death he's about to create a storm to destroy Chicago, so a thunderous undercurrent is heard throughout their conversation in the contrastingly-quiet restaurant (because everyone there has died from Death's mere presence). In "Reading is Fundamental", thunder rumbles ominously as the Winchesters try to break open a block of clay to find out what's inside. |

In The Go-Between, the ambient temperature rises higher and higher as the passion grows between Marian and Ted, and then when they finally manage to consummate that passion there's a terrific thunderstorm. At this point Marian's mother catches them in the act and mayhem ensues. | |

Sesame Street: Until recently, Count von Count had Dramatic Thunder accompanying the final result as he finished his counts. A few years ago, it was discontinued since it might scare children, so now only appears on special occasions. A trilogy of animated segments featured a character called the Bridgekeeper, and every time he announced his name, there was a sound of thunder. |

Discworld: In Wyrd Sisters, the playwright Hwel uses a lot of thundrous underlining in his plays. The play that's performed at the climax of the novel is no exception, and when someone breaks the thunder sound effect just before the final act, he's provoked into raging at the heavens. At which point a real thunderstorm rolls in and provides appropriate underlining for the rest of the performance. The country of Uberwald provides this as a basic service to the Mad Scientist and Vampire Lord types that inhabit it. At least one vampire, newly arrived in Ankh Morpork, is slightly discouraged when, upon making dramatic declarations, thunder fails to oblige. Later in the novel, when it finally comes around, he indulges, repeating, "Vot...a big...castle!" as the thunder rolls. In Guards! Guards!, Vimes is looking at the aftermath of the "battle" with the dragon, says "Do you know what? I think it went somewhere". When the thunder rolls on cue, he mutters "All right all right, it wasn't that dramatic." |

Played quite straight in Kung Fu Panda: as the villagers evacuate the Valley of Peace and Shifu waits outside the Jade Palace for Tai Lung, ominous storm clouds are gathering. Thunder and lightning starts at the moment they start fighting. What makes this interesting, though, is how it plays with the trope: instead of the Thunderous Confrontation being between the hero and the villain, it's between the villain and the Old Master. The storm quickly clears out after the hero arrives at the scene — and the scene changes from dramatic, tragic and hopeless to a Final Battle powered by the Rule of Funny. | |

The Order of the Stick battles Miko Miyazaki during a thunderstorm. Naturally, the always Genre Savvy Elan realizes that things are about to go south as soon as the first peal of thunder resounds... Much later, as the Order crosses over into the Northern Lands, the airship on which they're travelling is caught up in a thunderstorm, as a warning by the Northern God Thor. Durkon or, rather, the vampiric High Priest of Hel hijacking his body clears it up with a Control Weather spell, however. |

The Last Days of FOXHOUND: In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, The Sorrow is established to have limited weather-control abilities. In the webcomic, he's occasionally seen applying this ability to provide appropriate emphasis for either his own words or a dramatic confrontation — which does, incidentally, border on Thunderous Confrontation territory. The Boss. "He's after..." *thunder* "THE PHILOSOPHER'S LEGACY". The Sorrow might've even provided it for her just so she'd look cooler... |

The Art of War (2000). Happens during the Alone With The Big Bad reveal, during the Motive Rant. It's raining for the rest of the movie, with thunder sounding at suitably dramatic moments (usually pre-battle). It's used again for The End... Or Is It? ending; the protagonists have faked their deaths and meet up again in a beautiful French village, only to hear thunder and be Caught in the Rain. As they walk away under an Umbrella of Togetherness, an unknown man takes their picture. | |

In an episode of Twin Peaks, Cooper has gathered everyone related to the Laura Palmer murder at the roadhouse for what appears to be a Summation Gathering; instead, he states he plans to use magic to solve the murder, and has brought them there for help with this. A second later, there's a clap of thunder and Cooper's face is illuminated with lightning. | |

Phineas and Ferb: Lampshaded in "Oh, There You Are, Perry" with the Regurgitator, who apparently uses a device for this. Prior to the reveal, Doofenshmirtz questions the thunder and lightning several times. In the "Terrifying Tri-State Trilogy of Terror" Halloween special, every time Doof says the words "inexplicable giant floating baby head", he automatically triggers a flash of lightning. Of course, he has fun playing around with this. |

Drake & Josh: In the episode "The Bet", the boys are told to bring an umbrella to Megan, who is at a friend's house. They don't and she comes in the front door soaking wet with thunder announcing her entrance. Happens twice in "Number One Fan". The first is Lampshaded when Josh tells the kids he is upset they won't brave a gentle rain shower to go camping. Cue the thunder. Josh, showing a slight fear, then continues. The second happens a few minutes later when Drake comes in angry at one of Megan's friends with thunder crashing as soon as he enters. |

In Wyrd Sisters, the playwright Hwel uses a lot of thundrous underlining in his plays. The play that's performed at the climax of the novel is no exception, and when someone breaks the thunder sound effect just before the final act, he's provoked into raging at the heavens. At which point a real thunderstorm rolls in and provides appropriate underlining for the rest of the performance. | |

Peppino, already at his wits' end by this point, completely snaps and with a scream of pure fury, goes to launch a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on the first revived boss — at which point a thunderstorm spontaneously manifests as if in response to his rage. | |

Shortly before the final showdown between Cloud and Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, the latter nonchalantly raises his hand to summon dark storm clouds that cover the entire battlefield. These seem to serve no other purpose than to emphasize the apparent epicness of the whole affair, which is further evidenced by the fact that a conspicuously well-timed bolt of lightning appears just as the two lunge towards each other. | |

Murdoch Mysteries: Late in "Murdoch and the Temple of Death", Murdoch pursues and corners a killer (who is carrying an artifact thought to be the Holy Grail) atop a cliff. Murdoch tells the man not to jump, but the guy asserts the power of God in the Grail will protect him, then turns and jumps to his death. Murdoch looks over the edge at the corpse and hears a clap of thunder, despite the rather light sky above him. This one overlaps with A Storm Is Coming, since the next shot is of the city of Toronto in a thunderstorm. | |

Kim Possible's movie, "So the Drama," features an epic thunderstorm during the final battle, beginning with thunder as the villain's plan goes into action and culminating in a fistfight atop the roof in the pouring rain. For a Disney production, the storm is built up to in a surprisingly subtle way — Kim's hair begins gently blowing in the wind in a previous scene, and later clouds slowly roll into view through a background window. |

Said home is revealed to be a Victorian style house surrounded by a fence with razer coil barb wire amongst completely dark scenery (it's daytime out) complete with giant moon. Lampshaded again in Abra-Catastrophe!: |

Played straight in the What's New, Scooby-Doo? episode "The Vampire Strikes Back"; first the Castle Thunder sound is used at the beginning of the episode (but is presented in very low-fidelity quality and sticks out like a sore thumb), but then newer, more realistic (and LOUDER) thunderclap sounds are used for the rest of the episode (driving the show more toward realism compared to the classic "campy" cartoon feel the original series had). | |

In the 1945 film adaptation of And Then There Were None, there's a dramatic clap of thunder sounds after the doctor confirms that the third victim was in fact murdered. Later there's another instance of dramatic thunder right after the Judge says that the murderer must be one of them. | |

In the Child's Play films, every time Chucky transfers his soul or is revived, a sudden lightning storm appears. Beginning with Bride, it becomes less dramatic (from a large bolt directly striking the area where he performs the transfer in the first film down to low rumbling in the fourth) until by the fifth entry it's completely non-existent. | |

Tiny Toon Adventures: A segment of the Halloween special episode starts with Buster and Plucky in a cart on a way to Plucky's newly inherited mansion. When they ask the driver why he won't get them all the way to the door, he simply replies: "things", accompanied with the ominous lightning and thunder. They play with it afterwards, since every time anyone says "things" more lightning and thunders occur. Plucky quickly figures out the trigger and tries to taunt the lightning bolt and mocks whoever missed at him. Unfortunately for him, he manages to invoke Bolt of Divine Retribution too. | |

Lightning flashes repeatedly as Kamui confronts Fuma at an abandoned basketball-court and they both have a premonition about their future battles - and at the same time, across town at the Tokagushi Shrine, Nataku attacks Kyuogo to steal the Divine Sword, again amidst the flashing lightning. It hardly counted as a confrontation, however, considering how outmatched Kyuogo was. By the time something approaching a fair fight develops - between Nataku and Kamui - the thunder has already passed… | |

Godzilla (1954): When Shinkichi, his brother, and mother were suddenly awakened by Godzilla, Shinkichi immediately leaves the house, realizing something was up. When Masaji goes to get his brother, there's a very excellent timing as he had a very horrified expression as thunder strikes. | |

Early in The President's Analyst, a patient of the eponymous psychiatrist reveals he's a government agent concluding a background check on him. He suggests taking the conversation outside as the office could be bugged. The doctor scoffs at the thought, until the agent casually points out the bug he'd planted. As the doctor ponders what he's been unaware of, thunder rumbles in the background. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Used to accentuate a Not so Dire moment in "Hell's Bells" when Buffy and Willow appear to be looking out the window at a hideous monster in the storm, but they're actually looking in the mirror at their ghastly bridesmaids' dresses. Played straight when a roll of thunder accompanies Anya saying this is the happiest day of her life. Also played straight in "Surprise". Angel wakes up in pain to the accompaniment of a crash of thunder, and has time to stumble outside to invert Redemption in the Rain as he loses his soul (again) and becomes the evil Angelus. |

Played with in Encanto. Mirabel has found the last prophecy made by her missing Uncle Bruno, an image of which is etched into a shattered glass tile. As she starts to piece the broken glass back together and sees that she might be responsible for her family's magical powers starting to fade, there is an ominous clap of thunder and flash of lighting... but it's just her Aunt Pepa, whose emotions manifest as weather, coming into the room trailed by a tiny thundercloud. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): The Climax of "In Throes of Increasing Wonder..." takes place inside a church while a thunderstorm rages outside. The thunderclaps imbue the scene with a foreboding ambience, which is an apt setting for Lestat de Lioncourt to murder the three people present (two priests and Louis de Pointe du Lac, although the latter is revived as an undead vampire). | |

Lampshaded/parodied in Friends. Phoebe's part time navy boyfriend has just returned on shore leave and she is hoping for some fun, but she has just contracted chicken pox. When he meets her she has covered her face with a shawl and won't show it to him. He convinces her to and she reveals her chicken pox scarred face to him with a lightning flash in the background. He jumps in fright and she gets upset. He responds by saying "No no no, you look fine it's just, the lightning, it was a very unfortunate coincidence." | |

In episode 20 of Noir, after the two titular assassins have just finished a running battle across the rooftops of Paris against a small army of suit-wearing killers with creepy masks, Chloe makes her appearance, standing on top of a chimney — with a flash of lightning behind her. Which is a good tipoff that something important is about to happen, considering that Chloe usually favors the Stealth Hi/Bye. | |
