Giant Wall of Watery Doom	comment	Water, in large amounts and at anything above a modest velocity, is very dangerous stuff. Storm surges and flash floods claim hundreds of lives and cause millions of dollars in damage every year, while major disasters such as dam collapses and tsunamis can cause widespread destruction. When someone steps out of their house and sees a 200-foot-high wall of the stuff stretching away to the horizon and moving at a deceptively patient pace toward them it usually results in an intense Oh, Crap! moment. Inversion of Soft Water — or an aversion, as even being buried by an avalanche of fluffy pillows would likely be quite lethal if there were a few million tons of them moving at 70 miles an hour. Can occur when a character who makes a splash really pushes himself to the limit. Perspective and point of view can play with this trope. If you are out on the open ocean, a wave only needs to be big enough to capsize your vessel to fully qualify. If you can haul your boat on a trailer behind the family automobile, a 10 foot / 3 meter wave can be a major problem. If you are on a cruise ship or an aircraft carrier, a wave big enough to qualify for this trope could wipe out entire small coastal villages once it hits land. As mentioned under the Real Life section of this page, while tsunamis in reality tend to resemble a tide that doesn't stop rising, there are a variety of scenarios where they do take on the classic 'great wave' shape, making this trope Truth in Television. For a slower, but just as dramatic, form of watery doom, see Rising Water, Rising Tension.

Giant Wall of Watery Doom / int_10175749	comment	Aquaman (2018). In the first shot of their war with the surface, the Atlanteans send tsunami that throw ships up onto the coast along with all the garbage the surface dwellers have dumped into the ocean. Our first sign of this is when the protagonist is driving down a coastal road with his father and sees this giant wave bearing down on them. Arthur Curry steps on the gas but can't outrun it and it's only thanks to Mera's help that his father doesn't drown.

Giant Wall of Watery Doom / int_14b52449	comment	In 2012, several waves are created that are kilometers high and cause additional damage to already destroyed places globally; one such tsunami manages to travel all the way across India and still retain enough height to flood out the Himalayas. It would require an 8 km high wave to cover the highest peaks, but in the movie the wave is stated to be around 1.5 km tall, and it's later shown that Mount Everest and many of the other tall mountains in the Himalayas are far above the water level. The reason it manages to overtop several shorter mountains is because the continental plate that the Himalayas rested on sank several thousand meters in the preceding earthquakes.

Giant Wall of Watery Doom / int_1cc8e29f	comment	Destiny: Half the reason the Hive became what they are was to escape one of these that would have swept clean their entire homeworld. They lived on rocky continents floating in a gas giant, deep enough for the pressure to turn the gas into something like liquid. The gas giant had 52 moons. Imagine those moons aligning for a moment, their combined gravities pulling the ocean into a colossal bulge at a single point... and then imagine what happens to all that "water" when the moons pass and the bulge collapses. This is also how the Darkness attacked the moon of Titan during the Collapse, as detailed in the lore book The Last Days of Kraken Mare, from Destiny 2: Shadowkeep. The Darkness manipulated gravity, pulling the methane ocean of Titan into a teardrop shape, then released it.

The fact that his wife can see the giant wave as well suggests its not another creation of his damaged mind, which may mean the other strange things he experienced earlier in the movie may have been real as well...or, perhaps the whole thing, including the wave and his wife's reaction, is another hallucination as well, signifying his final break with reality.

In Water 7, we learn that an annual tidal wave hits the island once a year, and submerges the outer districts in sea water. In the story, this particular wave is apparently so strong that the mere lapping damages the town. When the Straw Hats have to follow the CP9 to Enies Lobby for Robin, they have to brave this wave. Whitebeard's first action in the Paramount War is to generate two of these with his earthquake powers. Aokiji stops the waves by freezing them with his ice powers. As she chases the Straw Hats across the sea, Big Mom uses one of her Homies to create a massive tidal wave to attack them with. Jimbei saves the crew by steering the ship into the wave's green room, the space that forms inside the wave's curl.

The leading hypothesis that the Flood was inspired by the flooding of the Black Sea at some point around 5600 BC, which presumably would have looked a lot like this to the people present. The Burckle Crater in the Indian Ocean, if indeed it turns out to be a crater, is hypothesized to have caused waves up to four kilometers tall when the object that created it impacted, which would have hit most of the cradles of humanity at the time.

Ultraman Jack managed to split the wave using the Ultra tornado, but this drains his energy too much and leaves him helpless to a beating from both monsters. The pilot episode of Ultraman Leo, complete with people getting drowned and covered in debris as the wave levels buildings, thanks to the tidal-wave creating kaiju called the Gillas brothers.

Giant Wall of Watery Doom / int_bfc99c03	comment	Anno 2070's Deep Ocean expansion pack introduces tsunamis as a natural disaster that occurs when a geothermic power plant collapses into its deep sea trench. The wave expands circularly from the late plant, destroys all ships at or near the coast and can reach quite far inland on any island it hits, demolishing any building that happens to be in its path. Affected areas can't be rebuilt until the water has receded, and the only real defense against these tsunamis consists of high mountains between the power plant's location and the surrounding settlements — which is something the player has very little influence on.

Giant Wall of Watery Doom / int_fa89a1ac	comment	This nearly happens to Arendelle at the climax of Frozen II after Anna destroys the dam to break a curse and address the damage the dam was doing after Anna's grandfather built it to weaken another nation and to subjugate them under his rule. Arendelle has been evacuated first, but the wave still poses a threat to the town structures. Fortunately, Elsa appears in the nick of time to freeze it before it hits land.

Giant Wall of Watery Doom / int_fc7d85d3	comment	Ice Age: The Meltdown features the titular meltdown. The movie is a Race Against the Clock while all the prehistoric animals rush to the end of the valley to hop on a boat made from the hollow remains of a giant tree, the only safe haven for when the Northern dam finally breaks. When it does, the water comes fast, destroying every location the protagonists had visited in seconds.

Giant Wall of Watery Doom / int_fce1599c	comment	In Return of Ultraman, a mating pair of kaiju called Seamons and Seagoras have the ability to control the weather, and their mating results in a tidal wave threatening to destroy a fishing village. Ultraman Jack managed to split the wave using the Ultra tornado, but this drains his energy too much and leaves him helpless to a beating from both monsters.
