Numerous sci-fi movies, TV shows, and books depict the destruction of modern civilization through various catastrophic events, including alien invasions, pandemics, and nuclear war. The film "2012" is highlighted as a quintessential example, showcasing a wide array of disasters.

The discussion raises the question of how many such examples exist and whether anyone is actively counting them.
