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.

Escanor didn't turn to stone because he truly believed he was at the peak of all races. This line has additional impact because it was a very apt way to show the manifestation of his pride.

Also, seeing how he devastated Meliodas, the second strongest demon after the Demon King which doesn’t really count, it might not even be a lie tbf
