*** Later, it looks like Captain America is on his own against all of Thanos's forces. He tightens the strap on his broken shield, gets ready to face them, and then... [[spoiler:Sam Wilson's on the comm says, "[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier On your left.]]" Cue the sorcerers opening giant portals to summon ''every single hero'' in the MCU to fight Thanos, ''including the ones killed in the Snap'']]. The icing on the cake is [[spoiler:Steve finally saying "Avengers, assemble" before the armies clash.]]

*** Later, it looks like Captain America is on his own against all of Thanos's forces. He tightens the strap on his broken shield, gets ready to face them, and then... [[spoiler:a familiar voice on the comm says, "[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier On your left.]]" Cue the sorcerers opening giant portals to summon ''every single hero'' in the MCU to fight Thanos, ''including the ones killed in the Snap'']]. The icing on the cake is [[spoiler:Steve finally saying "Avengers, assemble" before the armies clash.]]

* At one point in ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty 4: VideoGame/ModernWarfare'', after the player's squad links up with another one trapped behind enemy lines, a trio of enemy helicopters show up to drop more troops. [[BigDamnHeroes Then Deadly comes back and shoots them all down.]]

* The darkest moment of ''VideoGame/Persona5'' is when [[spoiler:[[TheMole Goro Akechi]] shoots the protagonist in the head in police custody in order to fake the protagonist's suicide. The suicide is reported on Japanese media, and [[TheLancer Ryuji's]] reaction is not horror but ''joy'' - because this means that they successfully faked the protagonist's death using the Metaverse. The game immediately cuts to the protagonist alive, well and [[SmugSnake grinning]] in the police interrogation room.]]

* The ending of ''Film/{{Ink}}'' gets two of these: when Ink [[spoiler: realizes who he is and delivers an enormous can of whoopass]] and when [[spoiler:enough Storytellers show up to drive off the attacking Incubi from the hospital]].
* In ''Film/LastActionHero'', Danny has one of these when Whitney escapes her captors and pulls a gun on the guys holding him. Everyone notices.

-->'''Monitor:''' Hail Flash Gordon. You saved your Earth.\\
'''Flash:''' ''(tossing away his sword)'' '''YEAH!!!!!!!!'''
* In ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', [[spoiler:Franchise/{{Batman}} stopping the Tumbler gunfire from hitting the police in the Bat is what leads to the police force attacking the mercenaries for one last time.]]
* In ''Film/{{Armageddon}}'' Harry Stamper has this reaction when he cheers at the (unexpected) arrival of the other Armadillo carrying A.J., Bear, and Lev to the drill site.
* Throughout ''Film/PowerRangers2017'', the main characters slowly come together from dysfunctional teens grappling with their own issues to a group of friends willing to trust and rely on each other, but despite all their bonding moments they're never able to function as an effective team of Rangers. They repeatedly get beaten down in training, they can't summon their signature armour, and when they try to go up against Rita she effortlessly defeats them singlehanded and breaks their spirit. But after the shared experience of [[spoiler:Billy dying and coming back]], they're try to connect with the grid and each other again, and...
-->'''Jason:''' It's morphin' time.

** In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'': When Rocket gets his hands on a [[{{BFG}} gun that is as big as he is]], he chimes in with a quiet, if wickedly excited utterance:

* ''Film/SkyHigh2005'': Layla won't use her powers except in self-defense. One of the villains, believing their side has already won and that Layla's a wimp anyway, attacks her just to be petty. "Big. Mistake." Also counts as a LetsGetDangerous moment.

* In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'':
** When Rocket gets his hands on a [[{{BFG}} gun that is as big as he is]], he chimes in with a quiet, if wickedly excited utterance:
-->"Ohh...''yeah''..."
* In ''Film/JurassicPark'', the remaining heroes appear to be cornered by the lead ''Velociraptor'' and one of her packmates. All seems lost and it appears that our human protagonists are about to be shredded...right before the ''UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex'' shows up and devours the vicious raptors as [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic the film's theme song]] plays triumphantly in the background.
* ''Film/JurassicWorld'' has that very same ''T. rex'' being brought in to stop the film's saurian BigBad, only to be defeated... and then, the heroic lead raptor shows up to give her some HeroicSecondWind.
* In ''Film/Godzilla2014'', the titular King of the Monsters is on the ground after fighting the female MUTO and looks like he's been knocked down for the count. Then his spines [[BreathWeapon start to glow]].

* ''Film/ThorRagnarok'': Thor has been dumped on the planet Sakaar and is forced to duel against the Grandmaster's champion. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_0029.PNG He lets out the mother of all]] BigYes-es when he discovers said champion is the Hulk.

* In ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', as Steve, Tony, and Thor are struggling against Thanos, [[spoiler:Mjolnir flies through the air and into the hands of ''Captain America'']].
-->'''Thor''': ''[[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron I knew it!!]]''
** Later, it looks like Captain America is on his own against all of Thanos's forces. He tightens the strap on his broken shield, gets ready to face them, and then...

The icing on the cake is [[spoiler:Steve finally saying "Avengers, assemble" before the armies clash.]]
** After this, Thanos is stalking towards Clint to take the Infinity Stones when Wanda suddenly blocks his way. And it turns out that, when she’s not splitting her power and he doesn’t have most of the stones, he’s hopelessly outclassed and nearly dies.

* In ''Film/JurassicPark'', the remaining heroes appear to be cornered by the lead ''Velociraptor'' and one of her packmates. All seems lost and it appears that our human protagonists are about to be shredded...right before the ''TyrannosaurusRex'' shows up and devours the vicious raptors as [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic the film's theme song]] plays triumphantly in the background.

The moment at which a character realizes that things are finally starting to go their way when they're in danger. Perhaps it seemed that the only option was a OneWayTrip or a HeroicSacrifice, but suddenly TheCavalry appears on the horizon. They might not say anything in particular, but the look on their face is priceless.

* Creator/AlanMoore's ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' has a very dark take on this. Ozymandias who thinks he's the hero saving the world comes up with a byzantine scheme to end the Cold War by staging a fake alien invasion that murders millions of New Yorkers. His former friends and the superhuman Dr. Manhattan corner him at his lair and he's about to be wiped out. At the last minute, finds his TV Remote and turns on his monitors and he and the rest of the room are stunned to hear in utter disbelief that his crazy scheme worked. Ozymandias' reaction is to cry tears of relief as he calls out, "I did it!" by raising his arms high.

** In the very first episode, Cordelia is being threatened be a vampire when Angel arrives just in time.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': The Order is about to get finished off by Tarquin (except for Elan, whom Tarquin wants to [[INeedYouStronger level up]] for an epic confrontation). He's interrupted by [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0930.html an airship showing up]] and Elan's cries of "Look! Roy, it worked! It worked!" [[note]]The airship belonged to Elan's mentor/good father figure, [[LovableRogue Julio Scoundrel]], whom Elan convinced to come back them up.[[/note]]

* Near the beginning of the endgame for ''Nier Automata'', the until then pacifistic Pascel you’re fighting besides goes to enact a plan, and after a few minutes an army of machines, including a Goliath class Engels, shows up to fight A2. Cue Pascel coming back and having hacked an Engels of his own. One you get to control!
-> Pascel: Fear not, A2... I can handle this!

* Boss gets three of these in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV''. This first is when Kinzie introduces them to the mech they salvaged. The second is [[spoiler:upon seeing Johnny for the first time since his apparent death/abduction in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird''.]] The third is [[spoiler:finding the power suit that grants you superpowers outside of the simulation.]]

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' has this in one of its reveal trailers: when [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo and Kazooie]] make their debut, [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and even King K.Rool]] go absolutely [[JustForPun bananas]].

* A great one occurs in ''Disney/{{Zootopia}},'' with Judy and Nick's smug smiles when they reveal to [[spoiler:[[BigBad Bellwether]] how they faked Nick's attack and [[CaughtOnTape recorded her gloating confession]]]].

His friends, and the trapped British soldiers, manage to cross No Man's Land for the first time in a year and take back Veld.

When Sauron explodes, All the fellowship makes it.

* There's also a moment during [[spoiler: [[BadassPacifist the True Pacifist]] route's FinalBoss, Asriel Dreemurr.]] "But maybe... with what little strength you have left... [[spoiler:you can SAVE something else]]." The ACT option in the combat menu turns into a rainbow-colored option named SAVE just to emphasize how badass this is.
