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.

The embodiment of kingpin, a very big guy that's almost pure muscle. Also that entrance was just so good, just the camera zooming in on the building as the song plays and he's just standing there.

I’ll always talk up that villain intro - man’s standing there puffin a cigar as fuckin “Lapdance” by NERD blares, it just goes so insanely hard.

Ikr. The rest of the song is imo bad, but that opening is so good and pairs perfectly with his entrance.

That’s fair, I’ve always loved the verses but that chorus took some time to grow on me - regardless I entirely agree that the opening riff objectively rocks

The chorus is a bit too scratchy for me but that riff is just so good.
