Title: Crowning Moments of Awesome
Post by: Natef on June 02, 2011, 02:26:40 PM
They can be from any type of media.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - A single A-Wing crashing into the largest Star Destroyer, and completely PWNS it.

Dr Strangelove - Slim Pickens riding the bomb.

Codename: Kids Next Door (Operation Z.E.R.O) - The crash an entire moonbase into one baddie. Also, several of the main baddies become good guys right in the most needed time, and one of them says "This is going to be, delightful."
(Operation C.H.A.D) - Numbuh 274 owns his parents (who are evil) by cancelling all of his after-school activities with a cellphone, and then owning them by calling a tattoo parlor.

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger - EVERY SINGLE RANGER AT ONCE FIGHTING.

Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo Five- The Grandliner, a flying train. Pure awesome.

Red Dawn - Patrick Swayze + Charlie Sheen + one Russian base = amazing.

C. Thomas Howell (Robert) firing an AK-47 at an enemy chopper after shooting an RPG at it. He was screwed, but who cares?

Ah, these are great- I've heard of them from TV Tropes. Are GTM examples allowed?

If they are, I'd nominate Cube From The West defeating COID in Clash Cubes II. =D

Definitely- I remember watching that one when it came out. You should have seen LRA2's reaction afterwards  XD

I guess, but I was mostly looking for ones in media.

Don't worry, those can be provided, too.
 
Also, not to be self-serving, but I think my original one was my run in Replica Wars Series 1-
Third Place, flipping Joeblo and Craaig out of the arena and surviving to a judge's decision against Mike en route, and topping it all off with the "Coolest Robot" award.
 
Might not sound too impressive, but this was only the first tournament I'd ever entered, so I think it does deserve a little mention here   :approve:

CMOAs?

Alright then:

P.R.O.M.I.S.E.
Alex blowing up a car with the Imagination Network
P.R.O.M.I.S.E. taking on a building full of SP operatives to protect Alex and emerging victorious. Like a boss.
Author blowing up Taurou with his own weapon
Jakuuna and Enigma's showdown in the Tourney of Ages - they both have the same weapons, but Enigma's mastery of the weapon (which was originally Jakuuna's, by the way) overpowers Jakuuna's brute force with the weapon, defeating him easily.
Witch Doctor blasting a hole in the Overlap Mech. With a scalpel.
Fricfrac activating his Release State and pinning Witch Doctor against the wall, before killing him for the first time.
Galaxia getting her butt whipped by her (ex) little sister, Sousuki.

Time Lock
Sierra using the "Black Attraction" curse on Michaelangelo
Kyusan incinerating Sannigo with an intensified sunset.

Conundrum
Kujii bombing Seishunsuuta for perving on her.

Whose Line Is It Anyway US, Party Quirks. Ryan Stiles was playing Carol Channing Whose Head Keeps Sticking To Things, and he ended up smashing a neon light with the top of his skull. But he continued to play the game, in character.

Another one from P.R.O.M.I.S.E.

After finding out what Alan did to Umbris, Alex is horrified. He storms out of Alan's office, swearing revenge on the man. Not three seconds after Alex has left the office, Enigma materialises and shoots Alan in the head in a badass way, giving no explanation whatsoever as to why

Every single episode of Gurren Lagann has one, and the final battle, which is the crowning moment of awesome for the entire series is quite possibly the most awesome thing ever to exist in human media. Just try to top this. I dare you.

Actually pretty much the entire episode qualifies.
