What are you favorite fictional scenes that are completely awesome/hilarious/heartwarming/whatever, but wouldn't seem anywhere near as great to someone who isn't familiar with the whole work or the characters' backstory or the context or references or implications in the scene?

Basically, scenes that are only really awesome to people who really know the show/movie/whatever, and which wouldn't seem remarkable to someone who had never seen the show and just saw a clip of the scene on youtube or something.

The last scenes for the Tenth Doctor in The End of Time. Specifically when Ten goes to say goodbye from afar to all his old companions.

This is one part from it (I can't find all of it). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6ZAQUqSkkA

It makes me sob every time I watch it. But for someone who never watched it, it is just a dude creeping on a bunch of people from afar.

LOL you're right it does look like he's just randomly creeping on people XD

Well, I think that there are, for example, some references in Lord of the Rings that people wouldn't understand unless they've read the Silmarillion. This applies both to the books and to the movies. The elves are so much more interesting when you know the whole context of their history. Galadriel's giving Gimli pieces of her hair is better when you know who Feanor is and that she refused to give him her hair. And that Dol Goldur scene in Battle of Five Armies is better when you actually know who Morgoth is (on the other hand, the scene where Tauriel draws her sword on Thranduil is worse when you know why that would never and should never happen).

Definitely Starscream's self-sacrifice in Transformers Armada. The one scene that has consistently made me cry EVERY TIME I'VE SEEN IT.

Fuck, yes. Shit. I was actually crying all day the first time I watched that. Which is not the easiest thing in the world to explain to relatively sane people who don't watch cartoon robots and think 'tragic self-sacrifice that will break you to watch'.

Slippin' Jimmy's Chicago sunroof from "Better Call Saul".

One of the few actually awesome scenes from Dragon Ball GT, but one of my absolute favorites in the entire franchise.

To anyone who doesn't know anything about DBZ or who Vegeta is, it will probably be a mildly amusing scene of a silly domestic interlude.

On the other hand, to someone who has watched the series, and knows that when Vegeta first appeared, about 25 in-universe years before this scene, he was a genocidal, planet-conquering, racist, evil space pirate who tried to exterminate the human race because he saw them as vermin contaminating prime real estate; and know how many metric fucktons of character development, over the course of many years, he had to go through in order to become a settled-down embarrassing dad who would shave off his hideous mustache because his bratty half-human teenage daughter told him to, and then fish for compliments about it from his human wife, human friend, and the son of his former archrival who he once tried to murder, this makes me smile in glee so hard that my face hurts.

Desmond and Penny's reunion on Lost.

YES!

Secret #1 made me think of that scene where Ellie kills David and Joel comes in and hugs her and calls her "Baby girl".

Ellie having to protect herself in such a way is heartbreaking, but I also felt proud of her for being able to; she had been through so much and had grown so much because of it. It's sad though since she never got to be a kid and experienced something really traumatizing.

And on Joel's end, well, he's been struggling with Ellie, trying not to get too close because he's already lost a daughter in a terrible, terrible way; he doesn't want to grow fond of her and risk losing someone he cares about again. At one point (like an asshole) he actually says, "I'm not your father, and you sure as hell ain't my daughter." Ellie is understandably hurt. When Joel calls her "Baby girl" like he did his daughter, you know that's the point of no return; he cares about her too much to separate from her ever again and opens up to her completely.

YES! That scene is so awesome, and both so touching and heartbreaking.

The Last of Us is one of the only games I've both played and watched multiple let's plays of; I love it that much. I must've watched that scene 15 times by now but I get all choked up every time; the acting was phenomenal! It was such a bittersweet scene and stands out as one of the more emotional moments in the game. (Which is saying something as the whole thing is damn devastating, and there's lots of small, poignant moments like that. Joel accepting Ellie gives me all the feels. And poor Ellie, with how depressed and withdrawn she is after Winter... :(

In the movie, "The Drop," Tom Hardy plays this kind of schlubby, harmless-seeming fellow, who crosses paths with this creepy dude with a bad reputation. Hardy's character Bob rescues this puppy from a bad situation and bonds with it over the course of the movie, and at one point the creepy dude is up in Bob's grill, threatening him and everyone he loves and also the puppy...and In that moment, Hardy looks up at the guy and his face just.....stills. And you see that and know SHIT IS GOING DOWN.

But you'd have to have seen the movie up to that point to get it, because otherwise, if you just see a gif of that moment in isolation, it's just a guy looking at something with no facial expression. BFD

But have some gifs anyway! :)

In Leverage, when Parker says she wants some pretzels.
