Misfit Mobilization Moment: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Twentieth Century Boys]]'', when the heroes, who're all just [[Action Survivor|Action Survivors]], set off to {{spoiler|take down the [[Big Bad]] Friend's huge mech which is currently ripping Tokyo to pieces}}.

* In ''[[Onegai My Melody]]'', during the season finale, the ragtag bunch of youngsters join forces to defeat the Spirit of Dark Power. Even Kuromi the resident [[Anti-Villain]] joins, and they get a wardrobe makeover.

* Occurs in ''[[Hetalia Bloodbath 2010]]'' with Iceland, Turkey, Germany, Hungary, England, Cuba, and Canada. In the end, the ''entire world'' gets motivated to work together in order to solve the mystery.

* Seen in ''[[Kaiketsu Zorori]]''. When {{spoiler|the world's about to end}}, Zorori is quickly surrounded by several of his allies and [[Enemy Mine|a few of his enemies]] to assist in his plan for {{spoiler|saving Earth}}. Among the assembled: [[The Rival|Gaon]], [[All-Ghouls School|Youkai-sensei and every monster that's appeared thus far]], [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Duke Bururu]], [[Functional Magic|Nelly, Milly, and Roger]], [[Idol Singer|the Moo Moo Girls]], [[And Zoidberg|and Tiger with his band of fake magicians]].

* In ''[[Serenity]]'' it's the "No more running. I aim to misbehave" speech. Simon and Jayne even share a drink during it. Doubles as a ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]''

* ''[[Red Cliff]]'' pulls off a spectacular moment when Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang are convinced they're hopelessly outnumbered. Sun Quan reveals {{spoiler|their allies from Shu had only pretended to defect to lull the enemy into a false sense of security. Cue the [[Big Damn Heroes]] reappearance of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun fully prepared to kick ass and take names}}. From there, ''every'' major character proceeds to contribute a necessary element of the staggeringly epic battle that follows, including [[Yamato Nadeshiko|Zhou Yu's wife]] and [[Action Girl|Sun Quan's sister]]. It's worth noting that while most of these characters are traditionally seen as heroes, the movie has up until this point presented them as either too old and feeble, too young and inexperienced, and/or too suspicious of each other's motives to succeed (in comparison to the well-oiled machine of the opposing force), so "misfit" mobilization would apply to this particular interpretation of the story.

* Occurs in both ''[[Deuce Bigalow]]'' movies at the climax, involving all the Abhorrent Admirers (less so in the second).

* ''Any Given Sunday'' has the pre-game before the playoff game in Dallas. The Miami Sharks football team up to that point, has been a bunch of egotistical, arrogant, and flat-out psychotic douchebags. But before the game, Coach D'Amato delivers a [[Rousing Speech]] (he is played by [[Al Pacino]], after all) where-in he simply reminds these players of their shared commitment to being the better team.

* Subverted in ''[[Animal House]]'', when Bluto gives a speech with numerous historical inaccuracies, and fails to rouse his fraternity brothers, who have given up. Finally, though, they do listen to him and create an incredibly funny end sequence.

{{quote|"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"}}

* At the climax of [[Attack of the Killer Tomatoes]], Wilbur gathers a mob, [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits|made up of the only people too crazy to evacuate when the tomatoes attacked,]] to fight the tomatoes. The credits actually list them as "Every screwball in San Diego County."

* In ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'', {{spoiler|Coulson's death}} was what finally brought the team together. Thor saw {{spoiler|Coulson being stabbed}} as he watched helplessly. Tony knew {{spoiler|Coulson the longest.}} Cap gets motivated from {{spoiler|the blood-stained trading cards Coulson eagerly wanted him to sign.}} Black Widow and Hawkeye were {{spoiler|longtime comrades with Coulson}}.

** Finally put into action in season 3 episode 4 when {{spoiler|the timeline had been changed so that the Nazis won. They were forcing Seth, the power dealer to take powers from other people and put them into soldiers from their ranks. Curtis, Kelly, and the two Rudys save Seth by ambushing the jeep that was transporting Seth by wearing Hitler masks and shooting while unseen from the trees. When Seth gets recaptured and Curtis and Rudy captured along with him, Kelly goes to save them by herself. She takes Shaun, a Nazi officer hostage and runs into Alisha and Simon. Their reaction? "You need a hand?"}} Granted, it didn't go as smoothly as planned, but hey... they still did pretty well considering who they were up against and technically they still managed to save the day.

* In one episode of ''[[Farscape]]'', the crew of Moya rob a bank to buy Dargo's son out of slavery. The main villain Scorpius has beaten them to it and is holding D'Argo's son hostage and will only release him if they give him Crichton. What do they do? They take the money from the depository and hire all the mercenaries, bounty-hunters and pirates which had been the villains of previous episodes to help them rescue him. Unfortunately, the mercenaries are either under new management, suffering debilitating health problems, on the run, or have found religion in the intervening months; even after clearing these difficulties up, it's discovered that the stolen money has been booby-trapped, leaving Moya badly burned and her crew poor all over again. At that point, Crichton gives up and surrenders to Scorpius, leaving the his friends with D'Argo's son but not much else. The mercenaries are on the point of leaving when Aeryn finally performs the [[Misfit Mobilization Moment]] by pointing out that Scorpius is using the bank as a base of operations, and offering them whatever they can find there as payment. Unfortunately, though the crew manages to escape relatively unharmed, all but one of the mercenaries are killed in the attack.

** However as the club expands and the group becomes more detatched through their cliques, a major moment happens in the penultimate season 1 episode. Rachel is devastated and humiliated by being egged by their rivals, particularly as they're led by her ex-boyfriend. [[Jerk Jock]] Puck of all people rallies to her aid and gathers all the strong men in the group to help him. To add to the awesome, [[Camp Gay]] Kurt and the disabled Artie also try to help. Later the whole club bands together to do the one thing their rivals can't: perform a funk dancer number (it makes sense in context). It really signified them as [[True Companions]].

* Happens in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' during the finale episode ''Stolen Earth'' when just about every companion of the last five years comes together in a united plan to contact him.
