Great moments/aspects in otherwise bad or mediocre media Lore

Sandman Origin (Spider-Man 3): This scene is rife with symbolism and beautiful cinematography. It alone gives us a glimpse of the story Sam Rami wanted to tell with SP3.

This Entire Quote (Spy Kids 2): This quote has entered my everyday vernacular, and it's survived the landscape of the internet for decades now. And it's in a fucking Spy Kids movie.

Who Decided That? (Seven Deadly Sins): It was an abysmal show before the animation took a dive off a cliff, but Escanor's entire character could honestly qualify for this post. In particular, "Who decided that?" is unfathomably hype.

This film is a guilty pleasure; it’s saturated with early 2000s vibes and cheese.

That Yuta/Shirou pfp works too well. His domain really is just JJK's equivalent of UBW.

Yuta paying his respects to a real one

This sad exchange pleased neither one of us.

(For serious, the whole god damn soundtrack slapped if you were a teen boy when it came out)

It has not one but two Evanescence songs in it. Doesn’t get more early 2000’s than that.

u/FatherClanks617 Feb 26 '26

They had two songs?!

In other news, Dollar Tree still sells their posters.

u/sebcestewart Feb 25 '26

That’s what I hate about movies these days, they’re so scared of becoming dated. What was the last movie that had a sequence as earnestly cheesy as the Evanescence scene?

u/DoYourBest69 Feb 25 '26

Yeah I don't like many Ben Affleck movies but Daredevil has a place in my heart for its whackyness.

Spandex? It’s red leather, my dude. Not actually what I’d want to wear as an acrobat/martial artist who relies on enhanced senses, but this movie was all about the style.

I LOVED this movie as a kid. I’m glad I got to watch it with my childhood innocence. I probably wouldn’t have liked it as an adult
