Big Entrance: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

* [[Grand Staircase Entrance]]: Often understated, but no less awesome, when someone descends from a great staircase.

* [[Unflinching Walk]]: Only when walking ''into'' a situation.

* [[One Liner]]: Occasionally, they help.

* [[One-Liner]]: Occasionally, they help.

* [[Incoming Ham]]: It helps ''a lot.''

* [[Theme Music Power Up]]: Often playing in conjunction with an [[Unflinching Walk]], [[Three Point Landing]], [[There Was a Door]], [[Power Walk]] and [[Dynamic Entry]].

* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: Often playing in conjunction with an [[Unflinching Walk]], [[Three Point Landing]], [[There Was a Door]], [[Power Walk]] and [[Dynamic Entry]].

* [[Three Point Landing]]: With entrances involving a great height, this helps to say "nothing can hurt me."

* [[There Was a Door]]: It's really hard for your entrance to go unnoticed when you make your entrance by smashing through the wall.

** [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Death]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDzIS26aDK8 is an interesting case.] On one hand, his entrance is nothing special in of itself, but manages to make a considerable impression with the incredibly appropriate music, the [[Cool Car]], and the inadvertent [[Touch of Death]] (no pun intended). Subverted? Zigzagged?

* In ''[[Father Ted]]'', Bishop Brennan makes an unforgettable entrance [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEIjXU7baSc&feature=player_detailpage#t=239s running towards the camera screaming with his 10ft-wide cloak billowing behind him] once he figures out the titular character really ''did'' kick him up the arse.

* [http://youtu.be/TLgetLmlggA The Entrance] is an advertisement produced by Heineken based entirely on the concept.

* In the ''[[I Carly]]'' episode ''iStill Psycho'', [[Mama Bear|Mrs. Benson]] and [[Crouching Moron Hidden Badass|T-Bo]] arrive to make their [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment by driving T-Bo's motorcycle straight through [[Ax Crazy|Nora's]] front door.

* ''[[Power Rangers Samurai]]'': In "The Master Returns", Xandred arrives on Earth in style. Rocks pile together into his shape to create a gate for him. The sky darkens as he proclaims "Day shall become night as I escape from the Netherworld to face my enemies!". Everyone present from the Rangers to even ''Serrator'' goes [[Oh Crap]]. Xandred follows up on this by sending Serrator running and beating the living crap out of the Rangers ''while drying out''.

** Some of the classic villains got some decent entrances too. [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Lord Zedd]], Master Vile, and [[Power Rangers ZEO|King Mondo]] come to mind. Mondo notably made his entrance with Quadrafighters attacking Rita and Zedd's palace, sending them running to another galaxy.

Line 107:

** In "Omens Part One" [[Catfolk]] General Grune arrives in a [[Captain Morgan Pose]] atop a [[Treasure Is Bigger in Fiction|gigantic]] geode hauled by a [[Working On the Chain Gang|chain gang]] of four-dozen [[Lizard Folk]] [[Made a Slave|slaves]] because he's [[Too Important to Walk]].

** In "Omens Part Two" [[Sorcerous Overlord]] Mumm-Ra is revealed [[Wreathed in Flames]] while a vortex with swirling [[Red Sky Take Warning|red clouds]] opens in the sky above his head, [[Dramatic Thunder]] booms and a [[Dramatic Wind]] blows, all backed by his personal [[Leitmotif]] featuring [[Con Lang]] [[Ominous Chanting]].

* ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': Princess Luna's entrance in "Luna Eclipsed". {{spoiler|She comes in on a Batmobile-looking chariot drawn by pegasi with wing armor and helmet crests that look like bat wings, wearing a [[Black Cloak]] and accompanied by [[Dramatic Thunder]]. She does an awesome drop from the chariot and dramatically flips the hood off her head. Finally, her cloak dissolves into bats.}} Because of this, many Bronies now refer to her as "Princess Luna, ''' ''Princess of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsEwY7L9GHg F-ING METAL!!!]''' ''"

* In the penultimate episode of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'', [[Darkseid]] has been resurrected by Lex Luthor (it was an accident). Since his death, a civil war has been raging on Apokalips as to who would take his place. Just as the final battle is about to take place, Darkseid immediately puts a stop to the war by making a literal explosive entrance of epic proportions. Without him even saying a word, everyone from both sides immediately redeclares allegiance to him without a single protest. [[Evil Overlord|Darkseid Is indeed.]]

* This has been [[Lampshaded]] on [[The Simpsons]], when [[The Scrooge|Mr. Burns]] makes his first appearance before his new Indian employees at the outsourced power plant. He comes out of a basket to dancing like a charmed snake, with appropriate [[Buffy Speak|snake-charmy]] music. Smithers asks him why he wanted to make an entrance like that, to which he replies, "[[Large Ham|I'm a showman!]]"

* Played with on an episode of ''[[The Venture Bros]].'' The Monarch and his henchman execute a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz4PdpfI7zY badass, minty-fresh entrance ] on what he thought was the Venture compound, turns out it was just his accountant's office.
