Line #43 Awesome/Darksiders


1	* This exchange between Samael, War and the Watcher. The background music and accompanying dialogue delivery between Vernon Wells, Creator/LiamOBrien and Creator/MarkHamill make this one of the best cutscenes in the first game by ''far.''
2	-->'''Samael:''' The Griever moves in tunnels beneath this place. But first, there is an... ''obstacle'' that ''must'' be removed. Ulthane. One of the Old Ones.\
3	'''War:''' You didn't mention that before...\
4	'''The Watcher:''' Changing the deal already, Samael?\
5	'''Samael:''' Be silent, filth! ''(bitchslaps the Watcher across the platform)'' My business is with the ''Horseman''. ''(turns to War)'' Ulthane is no ally of the Destroyer - but you won't find the Griever without confronting the Black Hammer. And ''that'' will require strength you don't possess... Heh. ''Yet''. ''(Telekinetic manipulation on the Watcher.)''\
6	'''The Watcher:''' What - the - ''hell'' do you think you're doing, Samael?\
7	'''Samael:''' Tell him, Watcher. How you stifle the Horseman's true power in order to keep him on the Council's leash. War! Destroy this parasite...\
8	'''The Watcher:''' You so much as ''blink'' at me, and the Council will ''end'' you! BOTH of you! I'm ''protected''!\
9	'''Samael:''' ''Not'' in here. ''(turns to the youngest Nephilim)'' You are ''War!'' Rider of the Red Horse! Not some ''puppet'' on this ''pathetic'' creature's strings!\
10	'''The Watcher:''' War, I will make you suffer!\
11	'''Samael:''' Focus your anger. [[ThePowerOfHate A great rage]] ''stirs'' within you, ''clawing'' to get out. You ''must'' release it! Or a puppet you will remain...\
12	'''War:''' RAH! ''(eyes glowing with power, War punches the Watcher into the dust with his massive robot hand and [[UnstoppableRage unlocks]] his SuperMode)''\
13	'''Samael:''' You are ''reborn!'' [[EvilLaugh Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah!]]
14	* When Uriel and her soldiers interrupt the fight between War and Ulthane, Ulthane literally Drops His Friggen' Huge Hammer onto an angel. And then:
15	-->'''[[ViolentGlaswegian Ulthane:]]''' Yer ''justice'' can wait until we finish our little scrap, ''missy''. Yew got no right in stickin' yer head into a fight what don't concern yew. Now fly away pigeons, a'fore I pluck ya!\
16	'''Angel:''' ''(tries to pick up the hammer)'' Blasphemer, it is you... who takes sides... in a battle.. that doesn't... concern you.\
17	'''Ulthane:''' Bwahaha! Please... allow me! ''(picks up the hammer and smashes the angel with it, one handed)'' That's what yew get fer touchin' what ain't yerz. I'd duck if I were yew.
18	* Ulthane proves himself a badass by not being intimidated by ''[[OneManArmy a Horseman]]'', whom the rest of ''creation'' is [[TheDreaded terrified]] of. He goes so far as to put his forehead against War's cocked [[HandCannon Mercy]].
19	-->'''Ulthane:''' Du aye luck like I'm afraid o' death, ''boi?''
20	** Which is followed by an equally badass response from War:
21	-->'''War:''' It's not ''Death'' you should fear.
22	* Minor one, but the angelic beast War rode getting into a fight with Tiamat is pretty impressive. It's obvious to the player that Tiamat will win, but before the fight's offscreen conclusion the beast manages to do pretty well for a RedShirt, dodging attacks and slamming Tiamat through a wall.
23	* War killing any of [[CoDragons the Chosen]] is awesome:
24	** Tiamat: War rips her wings off (this on top of the fact that in the fight itself, one of the quick time events has him punch her across the platform) before tearing her heart out.
25	** The Griever: he beats it senseless with a train car before finishing it off.
26	** The Stygian: he jumps down its throat and cuts it open from the inside.
27	* The fight with Silitha. Using the Abyssal Chain while she teleports make it into a hectic, fast paced fight against the GiantSpider Chosen.
28	* You defeat Straga, the demon who 'killed' War in the opening sequence by using a VideoGame/{{Portal}} gun-like device to teleport inside his skull, and cut it up from the inside out.
29	** Also, before their battle, War simply but effectively [[ShutUpHannibal shutting down Straga's posturing]].
30	--->'''Straga''': STRAGA IS THE MIGHTIEST OF THE DESTROYER'S CHOSEN!\
31	'''War''': And the last. Your master chose ''poorly''.
32	* The last words between Abaddon and War before the final battle atop the Black Tower.
33	-->'''Abaddon:''' Would you ''serve'' in Heaven? Or ''rule!'' In Hell?!\
34	'''War:''' ...I chose what once - ''a coward,'' did not.
35	* While War is under the [[AgonyBeam thrall]] of the Watcher, [[OminousAdversarialAmusement he starts laughing]], well aware of what is about to happen.
36	-->'''Watcher:''' What's so damn funny? Even you would not laugh at your own funeral.\
37	'''War:''' I'm laughing... at ''yours''.
38	** Namely, Uriel impaling War with Armageddon Blade, thus [[ChekhovsGun fulfilling her death oath]].
39	--->'''Uriel:''' Nex Sacramentum. The death oath is complete.
40	** Uriel then uses the Armageddon Blade to destroy the Seventh Seal (and reduce the Watcher's right arm to [[LudicrousGibs black sludge]]). This has the notorious side effect of bringing War BackFromTheDead, after which he promptly gives the Watcher a [[InUniverseCatharsis well-deserved]] [[PayEvilUntoEvil beatdown]] before killing him.
41	--->'''Watcher:''' Don't... forget... who holds... the leash...\
42	'''War:''' ''[[PreMortemOneLiner I haven't forgotten.]]''\
43	''([[HeadCrushing crushes the Watcher's head like a watermelon]])''
44	** And shortly after the above, the other three Horsemen falling to Earth as meteors.
45	--->'''Uriel:''' You would wage this war alone?\
46	'''War:''' No. ''Not alone.''
47	* Wicked K gets one whenever you try to use the Mercy on him, he deflects each individual bullet with his tiny wooden cane.
48	** Not to detract from Wicked K's awesome moment, but he doesn't deflect them all. The easiest way to kill him is by firing nonstop at him with Mercy while circling till he dies. Or, y'know. About four hits with [[SuperMode Chaos Form.]]
