Pieces of fiction where the protagonists completely stomp the antagonists?

[RocketKiss]

The first One Punch Man

 

[DarthSpider]

Almost every Steven Segal movie.

 

[TheMadTitan]

I barely know about comics, but this was when the Kinpin was nerfed or it has still a body full of muscles?

Kingpin has never been nerfed.

Spider-Man has super powers, Kingpin is just a regular dude. Spider-Man holds back a lot and his regular band of villains tend to lose hard when he lets go.

Did they ever address the whole 'is he still in the game or are these real people in another dimension' question?

Not in the anime, I don't know about the manga.

That's sums up The Culture very well.

There's a reason people in the Culture universe say the following:

"Don't fuck with The Culture."

The decimation of an entire war fleet by a single Culture Abominator class war ship called the Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints is one great example, from the book Surface Detail.

Or a rogue faction in Look to Windward been decimated by something known as E-Dust another.

There are many such examples from The Culture series by Iain M. Banks.

I was actually thinking of the special circumstances drone revealing himself in Player of Games. I love how the Culture series frequently does this act of "we could have killed everyone ages ago but we were trying to be polite about it to make a point.""

Deep cut, but we're done here

Kid Goku in the original Dragon Ball manga goes through everyone up until King Piccolo like a hot knife through butter, and only meets his match a couple of times at the end of the tournaments (Roshi and then Tien). Any time he loses or struggles it's because of something like he's too hungry to focus.

 

[ItsTheLittleThings]

Overlord manga/anime.

 

[djinn]

Moiraine in The Dragon Reborn (Wheel of Time).

Spoiler

She just walks into the room and balefires Belal. Dude doesn't even have chance to show off, let alone ever get reborn 😂

 

[Lord Azrael]

That subset of action movies where the appeal is just the main character decimating the bad guys i.e. John Wick, Rambo, Commando, etc.

I'd like to nominate I Saw the Devil, gory Korean thriller where the protagonist just goes through an endless cycle of hunting down the antagonist, beating the shit out of him and letting him go
