In the climax of the 1984 classic Ghostbusters, Gozer tells Venkman, Ray, Spengler, and Zeddemore to "choose the form of the destructor." Anything the four men think of, that will be the form of the ruin that is to come to New York City.

In 2012, after facing yet another high-tempo offense, Nick Saban asked, "Is this what we want football to be?'' Looking back in the mirror, Saban wasn't lamenting college football's direction; he was simply asking the rest of the nation to choose the form of the destructor.
