History Awesome / Glass2019

* Just seeing David fully embrace being a superhero. Best seen in the opening, where he stops two [=YouTubers=] who record themselves randomly punching innocent civilians.

-->'''David:''' I'm the only person who can stop them.

* It seems like the ordeal Casey Cooke went through in ''Film/{{Split}}'' gave her enough courage to denounce her creepy uncle's decades-long abuse of her, which led to his imprisonment mere weeks later.

* A villainous example: during Mr. Glass and the Horde's breakout, Patricia summons the Beast to get rid of a pack of orderlies. What cements this moment is that Patricia has been struggling with her faith in the Beast throughout much of the movie. However, in this moment, when it counts the most, she walks forward, chanting a firm ''[[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve "I believe. I believe. I believe."]]

** Mr. Glass's ThanatosGambit, a true case of MyDeathIsOnlyTheBeginning that also applies to The Overseer and The Beast. He managed to outsmart Dr. Ellie Staple and [[BrokenMasquerade break the masquerade]] about superhumans that the organization Staple belongs to painstakingly maintained for thousands of years, all planned out and acted on over the course of a mere three days. [[RewatchBonus And on a rewatch]], it becomes incredibly satisfying to watch Ellie Staple's plan fall apart even without Mr. Glass's camera trick. The Beast kidnaps two nurses, giving them front row seats to his and the Overseer's superpowered brawl. Dr. Staple calls in authorities, which only lets the Overseer and the Beast demonstrate their powers against non-supers. She tries to get the patients away from the windows, but fails spectacularly as more and more inmates watch the battle. The ending implies that allowing the patients to watch the parking lot battle helped provoke a mass breakout of supers at the asylum.

* The Overseer breaking out of the psychiatric hospital and donning his "superhero outfit", determined to stop Mr. Glass and The Beast.

** The Overseer appears to actually be far superior to The Beast in terms of raw power, forcing it to rely on its agility to even the odds. In the climax, The Overseer actually [[spoiler:completely overpowers The Beast before the SWAT team interferes. And even when faced with the prospect of being choked to death while underwater, he's still strong enough to shatter the water tank while holding it back.]].

** Joseph having the utter balls to run in front of the Beast [[spoiler:[[WhamLine and reveal that Mr. Glass killed Kevin's father]]. For all he knew, his words could have fallen on deaf ears and end up as food for the Beast, but he ended up [[YouKilledMyFather fatally turning the Beast against Mr. Glass]], temporarily halting the fight]].

* Just seeing David fully embrace being a superhero.
* The Overseer and The Beast (as pictured) facing off against one another.

--->'''Ellie Staple''': What have you done, Elijah?

* The Overseer [[BigDamnHeroes successfully coming to the rescue of some high school cheerleaders]] that The Horde have kidnapped as sacrifices for ''The Beast''.

-->'''The Overseer''': I’m the only person who can stop them.
* After a few years of wondering the confirmation that yes: The Overseer can in fact go toe to toe with the Beast as [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A-ClEl1Hvno this clip shows]]
