Learners sometimes think 'stupendous' is related to 'stupid' and only negative. In fact, it is usually very positive and means extremely impressive or excellent. It can be used with both positive and negative nouns (e.g., 'stupendous achievement', 'stupendous mistake'), but the core idea is always 'extremely great in degree', not 'foolish'.
