i thought one of the  most powerful stories in TOS was about "General
Order 24" where they threatened using a star****ps weapons for major
destruction to stop a war being fought as though it were a video game,
with people volunteering to commit suicide if the computer said so.

but then in TWOK explosions were used very effectively to make the
story so you can have both, the common thread being a powerful story
not a powerful weapon explosion
