History Main / TheBigDamnKiss

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' DLC ''Trespasser'', Inquisitors who romanced [[spoiler:Solas]] will combine the trope with IntimateHealing and potentially LastKiss during their final encounter [[spoiler:when he stops the Mark from killing her by magically removing her left forearm]]. Swelling music, spinning camera, gorgeous scenery, glowing effects - the whole nine yards.

* At the end of Shadow Herald, the first ''Literature/HeraldsOfRhimn'' novel, Navaeli is high on the realization that she has a few Silamir-free months ahead of her, and decides to take a risk and ask Crislie if they could be girlfriends. The two then share a long and lovingly-described kiss. The gravitas of the moment is disrupted by Mepark pretending to gag, as he thinks that kissing is gross.

* Harley Quinn goes back for seconds after giving Batman a "Thank You" peck on the lips in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J1LbpXP_Odg "Harley's Holiday"]].
** Although Poison Ivy's [[KissOfDeath intentions]] ran counter to the usual meaning of this trope, she definitely added romantic flare to the buildup of her and Batman's first snog in [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison her debut episode]] [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fda5ARkbrWc "Pretty Poison"]] what with the shoulder massage and sultry wording ("late night rendezvous"). Their kiss itself was actually very passionate. We see Ivy saunter up to a [[TentacleRope flytrap ensnared]] Batman before [[VillainousFaceHold gently laying a hand on his face]] all while she [[HeldGaze gazes seductively into his eyes for a moment]] before shutting hers, puckering up, snaking her other hand around his neck and pulling the squirming Dark Knight in for a deep, smoldering kiss Ivy deepens halfway through, moaning as she does. Ivy then releases Bats with a great, big "mwah", pulling back to give him a sly grin. The ominous music swelling up to the contrasting lush harp cords we hear when their lips come together emphasizes the [[FoeRomanceSubtext romantic vibe]] the moment carries. As is them both being framed [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything like a couple about to recite wedding vows.]]

* ''Literature/AGrimmQuest'': Princess Capricorn plants one on [[Spoiler Remmington]] that leaves their friends amused and embarrassed.

Usually has nothing to do with BigDamnHeroes. However, if the heroes do a SmoochOfVictory, then it does qualify.

* At the end of the Creator/VanBeurenStudios cartoon "Circus Capers", Milton Mouse (an obvious WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse copycat) gives this to his girlfriend, and it [[{{Demographically Inappropriate Humour}} literally makes her panties fly clean off!]]

* ''ComicBook/Robin1993'': When Tim is reunited with [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Stephanie]], his girlfriend who he'd thought was dead for over a year, he enthusiastically sweeps her off her feet and they have a triumphant kiss. Right in front of Franchise/{{Batman}} no less, who had always disapproved of their relationship.

%%* ''Comicbook/ScottPilgrim'':

* Occurs during the climax of the second volume of ''ComicBook/MikiFalls''...

** The kiss between Superman and ComicBook/LoisLane while on the moon during ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman''. (Creator/GrantMorrison considered doing a ''Film/FromHereToEternity'' BeachKiss reference here, but ended up going with something else.)

** ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': [[spoiler:Percy and Annabeth share a spectacular UnderWaterKiss at the end of ''The Last Olympian'', ending five books of BelligerentSexualTension. Even [[BloodKnight Clarisse]] thought it was about time!]]

* Music/GreenDay's "21 Guns" music video has Christian and Gloria make their way to each other through the hail of bullets filling the room and embrace and passionately lip-lock in what they think will be a LastKiss--complete with going a long time during the guitar solo with a spotlight and a 360 degree shot as well.

* The [[VideoGame/ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim video game]] ends each of the first four levels with one between Scott and Ramona.

** Peter and Mary Jane share their first kiss in a mostly empty section of JFK airport with a big snowy window behind them before Peter goes on assignment in France (in ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #143). It may not have been upside down, but as MJ says, "Wow, why didn't you ever tell me you could kiss!" Followed by (after she lets it sink in for a minute) "Far freaking out." (Made even funnier by the fact that the kiss was her idea.)
** Issue #1 of ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan2018'' has Peter and Mary Jane finally kiss after years of being apart due to editorial mandate.

[[folder:Web Original]]

* In ''WebVideo/ClassicAlice'' we have a few parties do a 'big kiss' (though the biggest is the last of this list). There is one between [[spoiler: Alice and Ewan]] in episode 13, the kiss between Cara and Lily in Musica Mundana, and finally the very slow burn kiss between [[spoiler: Alice and Andrew]] in episodes 51 and 53.

* In ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'', after 27 episodes of [[CharacterNarrator Cecil]] crushing on Carlos, they kiss at the end of their first date.
* There's a ''lot'' of kisses in ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' but the biggest one is actually pretty subtle: [[spoiler: after many episodes of Ship Tease and being on the receiving end of thankful cheek-kisses, Percy at last initiates a kiss with Vex'ahlia and promises that they'll "talk later" just before the end of Episode 72.]]
* In ''Podcast/TheAdventureZoneBalance'', [[spoiler: after rescuing him from being trapped in the Astral Plane and reuniting with him for the first time in "way too long," during the Balance Arc's finale, Taako kisses Kravitz.]]
* WebVideo/ShipwreckedComedy's ''Kissing in the Rain'' is basically built around this trope, and delivers one an episode.

** Hiccup and Astrid share their first kiss after Hiccup have defeated the Red Death and ended the war with dragons.

** [[spoiler:In ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragonTheHiddenWorld'', the kiss Hiccup and Astrid share during their wedding is what marks the beginning their marriage to each other.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', Bob and Helen share three of these. The first is at their wedding, the second is in Syndrome's lair and the third is just before the climactic BossFight.

* When Kristoff in ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'' accidentally lets slip that he wants to kiss Anna, then mixes up his words.
-->'''Kristoff:''' I... could. I mean I would. I'd like to. May we? We me? Wait, what?
-->'''Anna:''' ''[kisses Kristoff]'' We may.

* ''ComicBook/Robin1993'': When Tim is reunited with [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Stephanie]], his girlfriend who he'd thought was dead for over a year, he enthusiastically sweeps her off her feet and they have a triumphant kiss. Right in front of Franchise/{{Batman}} no less, who had always disproved of their relationship.
