Mobile Suit Gundam Wing/Awesome: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* This troper had the privilege of attending the US premiere of ''[[Gundam Wing]]: [[The Movie|Endless Waltz]]'', and if the audience's cheers were any indication, both Heero and Relena got their moments near the end of the film. Relena's moment was [[Armor-Piercing Slap|slapping]] [[Enfante Terrible|Mariemaia Kushrenada]], then [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|verbally slapping her around some more]] and then delivering a [[Rousing Speech]] [[Do Not Adjust Your Set|broadcasted worldwide]] where she encourages people to peacefully resist to the Bartons, while Heero's was this exchange minutes earlier:

'''Dekim:''' What?!<br />

'''Heero:''' I'm asking if your shelter is shielded.<br />

** Also qualifies as a [[Tear Jerker]], since {{spoiler|it features his genuine guilt upon having killed [[Dead Little Sister|the girl and her dog]]. "How many times...? How many times will I have to kill that little girl and her dog ''again''?}}

* In the same vein as the above, the movie-only scene in ''Endless Waltz'' where [[Rich Bitch]] Dorothy Catalonia shows how much she's grown in the past year by going to the streets and using precision jibes to make the complacent civilians realize exactly what Relena was trying to tell them.

'''Dorothy:''' "Man"? The only men I know are either dead and buried, or the ones fighting out there! ''(points at a giant TV which shows the Gundams in combat)'' }}

* Quatre's CMOA comes in the series when {{spoiler|he goes after the maddened Trowa who's using the Wing Zero and is driven mad by the Zero System. He knows ''too horrifyingly well'' the effects of the System, yet he doesn't hesitate to try de-brainwashing Trowa before he blows up the colony he wants to protect. And ''he succeeds''.}}

* Trowa uses the traveling circus act as a disguise to hide his Gundam, and reveals it during the show at a military base. Where he proceeds to destroy everything. Just as he is about to commit suicide with his [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]], his sister [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|slaps him out of it.]]

* Heck. For this troper, watching Mooks scream out [[Oh Crap|"IT'S A GUNDAM!!"]] is both awesome and funny at the same time. The most notable example is the Deathscythe Hell's first battle where it proceeds to scare an OZ pilot shitless before wreaking havoc on all the others.

* This troper finds it hard to believe that the following scene is absent from this list, as it's a major Crowning Moment of Awesome for Lady Une early in the series: She shoots General Septem in the face, AFTER dropping him from the plane.

* Lady Une freeing the Gundam pilots as well as her final speech have to count.
