In terms of fiction, I like the Picard speeches in "Measure of a Man" and "Drumhead". I think my favourite moment though is when he breaks down in "Family" and his estranged brother doesn't so much comfort him as simply state an awkward truth. It's a bizarre humanity, feth yeah moment but it's so... human.

And then of course there's this:

<Top Gun clip>

Really the entire movie Top Gun too

The first one is ok, but the 'ultimate' should be something that really happened yes.
The second is pure nationalistic hype, nothing wrong with a bit of that but, Top Gun is 100% America Feth yeah, but not either 'human race vs anything' or 'the spirit of man'

I only played crysis 2 and i'm wondering if i should play the 3rd. There's is that cool looking crossbow in the title picture.

I've also never played the first. The first seemed like it was better than the 2nd.

Anytime an animal gets rescued. (looks at rescued kitty from cruel neighbor, and pup rescued within hours of scheduled execution).

This weeks; cow fell 30 feet into a freezing cold slushy sinkhole. Within 20 minutes entire police dept and fire dept were jury rigging up a lull to get it to safety. Cow was miraculously unharmed other than a few scrapes.

Also, pit bull puppy in boston got stuck between a wire fence and a cinderblock wall on a 15 degree night. Some college kids heard its whimpering from their window (not sure why it was open, probably smoking, but who cares), and went to investigate. They called the Human Society who promptly came and rescued the little guy. It's since been adopted.

Those are my kind of moments where I go "Ya know what, maybe this entire species isn't fething doomed from it's head to it's toes.", brief as they are. Because it shows altruism towards something that can't possibly repay us, which is to say, we can overcome the utter cynicism and banality saturating our whole planet.

In Games - Xcom: Enemy Unknown - when my team lights out' an entire shot down UFO without taking a scratch, that's a HUMANS, feth YEAH! moment or any other similar combat win (like saving the spy, blowing up a ton of aliens at once, etc). In fact... i gotta re-install that game.

In Movies, can't really think of any. Then again, i'm not a big sci-fi guy past the usual trope-y stuff (star wars, very limited trek.... etc).

Wait a sec.... thought of a couple.

Aliens: the end, when Ripley says "Get away from her, you Bitch!" ... that's a good one.

I knew at least somebody felt the same way about that game as me in this thread. Such a good game even if traditionalists prefer their original xcom and xenonauts instead.

**Grey Templar**

Enemy Within also added a ton of things into the game, including a lot of throwbacks to the originals. Including Base assaults.

So why would someone put Space Marines up against the Navi? That would practically be comedic in the power disparity.

You'd think Navi vs future soldiers with air support and mechs would be comedic as well...

It would, if the soldiers had actually been portrayed like actual soldiers instead of blatant social/political commentary redshirts.

Eh I can think of a few others that are worse. I mean MAn of steel because screamed I AM JESUS!! At us for the entire movie.

Though the Navi fanfiction was kind of awesome.

Avatar just made me puke through most of it. The plot was obvious from about 20 minutes through.
Also, I cannot see arrows and animals beating GUNS, MECHS AND HELICOPTERS!!!

WEll that actually makes sense. they have evolved to that point.

These are literally bows and arrows.

They are largely biological.

The Navi are basically big blue humans with bows and arrows, and the animals on pandora are not nearly as scary as the ones you have listed. They are not very deadly, lets face it.

They are obviously a Native Americans allegory. Or more generally native cultures being invaded by more technologically advanced colonizers.
