There is something to be said for seeing the scale of the damage the Wave Motion Gun does. Before it was great, but seeing the blast taking apart the continent with the knowledge of just how big Yamato is compared to that mass. It just shocking how much damage it does and how large of a blast it is.

I wonder if it was more powerful than the Earth expected? They just took out something the size of Australia.
In the original series they never went into details of what wave motion (波動エネルギー) is but in this series they went a little deeper elaborating that the wave motion generator is actually powered by a micro black hole and that the wave they are talking about is a gravity wave.
In essence the wave motion gun is a gravity wave gun in which an immense gravity distortion beam is generated which ripples the fabric of space along it's path.
