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. |

Terminator The Terminators and HKs step on human skeletons in the first and second movies. Our first view of the Bad Future involves tank treads crushing a field of skulls in a post-nuclear Los Angeles. The T-800 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day steps on the roses when he reveals they were just there to hide a shotgun. The T-1000 steps on the T-800's Gargoyle sunglasses, crushing them underfoot. When the first film's Terminator parks outside another Sarah Connor's house, the truck's tire crushes a child's toy. Terminator: Dark Fate pays an Internal Homage to the franchise by having terminators in the future crush skulls under their feet. Feet (or similar crushing) is a trademark of James Cameron. Aliens has Ripley running over a Xenomorph head with the APC. |

In The Road to El Dorado, when Cortez lands in the New World, his first move is to crush a random skull on the beach. Parodied later, when a warrior is apparently crushed by a gigantic stone jaguar and we hear a muffled "I'm still OK!" |

The Disney Animated Canon is a big user of this trope: In Mulan, the heroine's horse Khan greets "the indestructible Mushu" by trampling the tiny dragon. The Lion King (1994): The opening scene has Scar slamming his paw on a mouse. A far darker example occurs later when Scar kills brother king Mufasa to his doom by tossing him back into the wildebeest stampede and lets the stampeding wildebeests do the rest. There's also The Princess and the Frog, in which Faciler kills Ray by stepping on him, although death wasn't instant. In Tarzan, a dare by Terk causes Tarzan to accidentally cause an elephant stampede, which results in one of the baby gorillas nearly getting trampled if not for Kerchak. |

Happens twice in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, where an Oliphaunt visibly steps on a Rohirrim horse-rider. The entire battle between the Rohirrim and the Oliphaunts could almost be described as this until they figure out how to take them down. | |

The Simpsons: In a scene reminiscent of the one from Flight 714, Mr. Burns threatens to crush someone "like a bug, I tell you, like a BUG!" and then proves too feeble to crush an ant. He steps on it, but it walks away unharmed. In the episode Cape Feare, Sideshow Bob lies on the road after hiding under a car and taunts Bart that there's no harm in laying on the road. Immediately after, he gets trampled by a marching band complete with a pack of elephants. |

The Mummy (1999): There's a bit where a group of characters are running away from the titular mummy and one glasses-wearing treasure hunter falls over, and his glasses fall off. The weasely backstabbing guy (who we've already seen selling out The Hero to almost certain death in the first scene) not only leaves him on the floor but stomps and smashes the glasses. You get a view of the treasure hunter's dismay as he hears them crunch. | |

The intro movie from MechWarrior 2 starts with a blurry shape that is revealed to be a human skull seconds before a Battlemech's foot crushes it. In that same spirit, the intro to MechWarrior 3 features a soldier who trips and falls right on the path of a mech, and is promptly squashed underfoot. | |

In the Supernatural episode "A Very Supernatural Christmas", Sam and Dean are caught by two pagan gods who ritually kill people around Christmas time. Their ritual is interrupted by a neighbour bringing fruitcake. After the neighbour leaves, the husband god just drops the cake, and ominously steps on it while going back to the brothers who had escaped. | |

Cowboy Bebop: Mad Pierrot meets his end in an abandoned amusement park after Spike throws a knife at him. Since it's too slow a projectile to be stopped by Pierrot's forcefield, it hits his leg and wounds him, the first injury he's suffered that he can remember. He's so distracted by the pain that he doesn't realize he's in the path of a parade of robot mascots, and he ends up getting crushed by one of them. | |

Sonic Shuffle: One of the 1 Vs. 3 mini-games is "Eggbot's Attack!". In this mini-game, one player controls the titular giant robot, while the other three run from it. Any player unfortunate enough not to dodge the Eggbot's feet will end up Squashed Flat by them, and if this happens to all three players before time runs out, the player controlling the Eggbot will win. Another 1 Vs. 3 mini-game is "Gargantua", where one player is turned into a giant. The other three players, armed with guns, have to shoot the giant until his/her health is fully depleted, but if the giant gets close to them, he/she can step on them, squashing them flat. If this happens to all three players, the giant will win. |

In an inversion, the heroes and titular lions from Pride of Baghdad use this against the bear, Fajer. Fajer is probably too strong to fight and beat head-on, so the lions knock him out of the building he's been using as a cave, then scare a herd of horses into trampling Fajer. The bear's spine is snapped and he's left helpless due to this. | |

Not an evil version, but in A Bridge Too Far a Dutch mansion is requisitioned as a field hospital. As wounded soldiers enter the building, one of them wearing a Thousand-Yard Stare steps on a child's toy train track, knocking the train off the rails. | |

This is how Seishuu dies in The Twelve Kingdoms. For worse, he gets trampled by a carriage because he has been blinded recently and can't see it coming... and the dude in the carriage actually doesn't even bother with changing its path, thus running Seishuu over intentionally. | |

The Indominus rex has a scene where she stomps on an ACU trooper to his death in Jurassic World when he tries to contain her. In Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the Indoraptor has a close-up shot of him stepping on a plush toy in Maisie's room. |

The first mention we ever get of Mr. Hyde in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a story of how he callously knocked down and trampled a little girl he passed in the street. His second use of this is far more cruel, however. After bludgeoning Sir Danvers Carew with his dreaded cane, Hyde proceeds to finish him off by jumping up and down upon his body in an "apelike" manner. | |
