District 9/Awesome: Difference between revisions

** To elaborate: He gets eaten. Not just eaten, more like ''[[Ludicrous Gibs|fucking gibbed]] and eaten''!

* When the evil MNU Squad Leader {{spoiler|shoots the rocket launcher, not at the Wikus's fallen mech, but at the defenseless space ship trying to escape, and Wikus has the mech ''grab the rocket out of mid-air.'' (Also seen in the trailers.)}}

*** That scene needs a DAMN sight more than just two words! {{spoiler|Wikus' berserk defiance of the MNU mercenaries [[You Shall Not Pass|to give Christopher time to escape]] has a [[HSQ]] which is simply staggering.}} In that scene this former amoral, [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|middle-management douche]] became the most [[Badass]] action hero This Troper has seen in YEARS.

*** ''Is that all you've got?! '''IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?!'''"

*** What makes this sequence even better is the fact that Wikus had a chance to escape, but his newly developed conscience wouldn't let him. So he {{spoiler|[[Big Damn Heroes|saves Christopher's life]]}} and then proceeds to utterly [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomp]] the [[Mooks]]. And on top of that, you know how he said "I'm not scared of you"? It's clear that that's a lie: he knows perfectly well that if he's captured he'll be tortured, experimented on, and killed. He's terrified out of his mind, but he keeps on fighting anyway. If that's not badass, I don't know what is.
