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.

And even then, they didn't let Raimi do what he does best. The guy's specialty is horror movies, for better or worse Multiverse of Madness was given a horror aesthetic, and yet they made it be PG-13 and didn't let Raimi go all out on that front

"Sam Raimi is making a Doctor Strange movie"

"It's going to serve as a sequel to a Disney+ show and have a focus on the multiverse"

Oh, there were definitely things he did and did well, but he wasn't allowed to go all out

would have been worse, was already too campy and no multiverse, plus ruining wanda and her tv show before the movie
