** It really says something about how satisfying that scene is when Andrew shouts "I could crush you!" at his father and the audience is shouting back [[KickTheSonOfABitch "Do it already!"]]
** He indeed tries to do so after Richard's massive KickTheDog moment at the hospital, trying to drop him to his death from the top of the building. Though Matt stops him, he at least gets the pleasure of lingering him above the ground and calling him out viciously, as his father is [[DirtyCoward begging for mercy no less]].
-->'''Andrew:''' Its your fault, you did this to me!

* Andrew beating up his father. [[spoiler: It may have begun his [[SanitySlippage descent to the dark side]], but still it was quite a sight knowing everything he put him through.]]

* Despite what happened afterward, when Andrew [[spoiler: puts on his dad's old fireman uniform as an impromptu disguise]] [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Ziggy Stardust]] by Music/DavidBowie plays in the background. It really sets the whole transformation when the song drops to a heavier, darker riff as [[spoiler: Andrew puts on the mask.]]

** As soon as Matt gets Casey out of the way, he proceeds to dominate in his fight with Andrew. Sure, Andrew's the stronger of the two, but is physically battered and mentally unhinged, and Matt is far better at using his powers effectively, even if he can't match Andrew in a telekinetic arm wrestle.

* Admit it. When Andrew beat up his father, you were cheering for him. [[spoiler: It may have begun his [[SanitySlippage descent to the dark side]], but still it was quite a sight knowing everything he put him through.]]

* The movie cost 12 MILLION DOLLARS to make. You could say they made it [[Film/IronMan in a cave, with a BOX OF SCRAPS]] and that would be kind of accurate. It looks like it cost 5 times that, though, but $60 Million is still pretty low budget for a film like this.

* The footage of the trio flying through the clouds is simultaneously awe-inspiring and heartwarming. Who ''doesn't'' want to do that?
* First time they fly [[spoiler: and the plane hits Steve, you somehow know everything's going to be alright but when Steve stands up freaking out and telling Andrew he loves him for saving his life, you can't help but feel giddy.]]

* While [[NightmareFuel terrifying,]] [[spoiler: [[PersonOfMassDestruction Andrew's]] [[UnstoppableRage rampage]] in the climax]] at least looked really cool.

** This Troper's theater did everything short of a standing ovation for this scene (cheering, thunderous applause, whistling). They really loved this scene... which was odd, given they laughed during the first instance of the father's abuse.
