The most well-known water-walker is probably Jesus Christ in the Gospels, who •casually• walked out over a RAGING Sea (a feat few other water-walkers have ever matched — Jesus Was Way Cool indeed) to meet his disciples' boat.
Disciple Peter followed suit, but his Lack of Faith caused him to sink beneath The Water and he had to be Saved by His Master. Despite its Biblical origin, the trope is usually executed without an especially strong Faux Symbolism feel to it, as
The PRIMARY Objective is, once again, about LOOKING Cool.
This doesn't stop the occasional Baptist-Fundamentalist Media Watchdog from complaining about people other than Jesus being depicted as doing such a thing, •despite• Peter walking on The Water to Jesus almost immediately after SEEING him.
