Crowning Moments of Awesome
Jul. 1st, 2008 06:03 pmTitle taken from this article on www.tvtropes.org.
To summarize - there are occasionally those moments in a movie, TV show, book or comic that are what a character will be remembered for. The kind of stuff that gets people going "Hey, remember when...?" "That was AWESOME!" years later.
X-Project has had its fair share of these for a number of characters. So what comes to mind for specific characters when you think of their Crowning Moment of Awesome?
Example: Remy LeBeau destroying the last possible link to his true identity.

Crystal and Nathan during Whiteout. (http://community.livejournal.com/x_logs/1719127.html)
Character-driven stuff, not big action scenes, but that's the sort of thing I tend to remember.
When I think about Crystal's "big moments", I usually wind up thinking about what are actually her not-so-great moments: attacking Logan in the gym, ordering Forge brought into a room in Attilan and being a bit cruel to him, and deciding to and carrying out starving Maximus.
I really like this log: Crystal/Maximus and Blackagar, unnamed boy. (http://community.livejournal.com/x_logs/1892029.html) This was The Sound of Silence log, the one I'd had in my head for more than half a year. I actually had very little to do with the writing of these logs. I was amazed at how well it turned out, but all of the credit there is due to Tap, Alan, and Alicia.
Also, I believe this is Marius's crowning moment of glory... Jennie spies Marius by the pool. (http://community.livejournal.com/x_logs/1890755.html)
