Awesome / Wonder Woman (2009)

• The main theme.
• "BUT IN DEATH, I AM AN AMAZON!!!"
• The aerial dogfight that introduces us to Trevor is full of Visual Effects of Awesome and awesome to watch.
• Steve refusing to apologize for saving Diana and calling her out on her Straw Feminism.
  Wonder Woman: I didn't need you to save me. I needed you to stop Ares.
  Steve: Hey, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here right now.
  Wonder Woman: I'm an Amazon, Steve. We're prepared from birth to give our lives in battle. I knew what the consequences were going into this mission. I bet you would have acted differently, if I were a man.
  Steve: Oh, playing the sex card again, are you? You know what? I've had just about enough of listening to you go on about how terrible men are.
  Wonder Woman: Does the truth hurt, Steve?
  Steve: News flash: The Amazons ain't so perfect either. You act brave, but cutting yourselves off from the outside world was cowardly. Not to mention stupid. Like less communication between men and women is what the world needed.
  Wonder Woman: How dare you?
  Steve: No! I'm not done. You met your first man, what, like 15 minutes ago. And you think you have us all figured out. Well, I'm sorry, but not everything a man does is to further some misogynistic agenda. We don't hold doors open or pull out chairs for women because we're trying to keep you down. And I didn't save you because I thought you were some damsel in distress. I saved you because... Because I care about you, Diana. And I'm not gonna abandon a friend in need, man or woman.
• Diana, having been frustrated by Steve Trevor's misguided, drunken attempt to kiss her, is accosted by a gang of thugs. She refuses to give them anything and instead asks for an apology "for contributing to my current disillusionment with Man". Naturally, the leader of the thugs scoffs and tries to shoot her. After blocking said bullets, she proceeds to utterly annihilate the thugs. And she gets that apology.
• Steve Trevor gets one towards the end of the movie, when Ares' army is smashing everything in sight - like the Lincoln Memorial, which they tear the head off of. Steve pulls out his gun and storms towards them.
  Steve: They're messing with Lincoln. Nobody messes with Lincoln!
• At the very end of the movie, Cheetah seems to have robbed the bank, curbstomps policemen... and then Diana arrives, catches Cheetah with her Lasso, and knocks her out with one punch!
• Persephone's AWESOME Shut Up, Kirk! to Hippolyta in their fight, which can become satisfying if you interpret part of Hippolyta's fury as being motivated by Ares finding love with someone else. Persephone reminds Hippolyta what a hypocrite she was to hide the Amazons away from the world and deny them the joys of love or having families of their own — especially when Hippolyta herself got to raise a daughter. She's also low key reminding Hippolyta that maybe all of this could have been avoided if the only man for Persephone to fall in love with wasn't the friggin' God of War.
  Hippolyta: You were given a life of peace and beauty!
  Persephone: And denied one of families and children. The Amazons are warriors, but we are women, too.
  • Hippolyta delivers the killing blow herself, reminding the viewer why she won that war against Ares in the first place.
