History Awesome / LiloAndStitch

** [[PreAsskickingOneLiner "Stupid]] [[BrickJoke head."]] Cue unloading [[spoiler:a gasoline tank ''into a volcano'']].
** FridgeBrilliance might apply here...he's not just riding the explosion. He's SURFING THE WAVE OF FIRE, and ''ENJOYING IT!''

* [[spoiler:Cobra Bubbles]] gets one back in the day that actually ''saved the Earth''. Remember that the Grand Councilwoman's first thought was to ''gas'' Earth when it was projected that Stitch would land there. Her second though was destroying the island. Both times she was shot down because mosquitoes are considered an endangered species and humans are part of its food chain. [[spoiler:Back in Roswell, former {{CIA}} Bubbles convinced an alien race that mosquitoes were an endangered species]]. Also one of Disney's finest [[BrickJoke Brick Jokes]].

** Especially how he broke free. He figured out that the guns were trained on his DNA and used his saliva to get him to fire where he wanted. When Jumba said Stitch could think like a supercomputer, he wasn't kidding!

-->Lilo: Don't forget about me, okay?!
-->Stitch: Okay! Okay... ''(sees tanker)'' ''[[LetsGetDangerous Okay.]]''

* Right before the above scene, Stitch is in a teary panic over Lilo being kidnapped by Gantu...then the fuel tanker shows up. Stitch then goes from HeroicBSOD to LetsGetDangerous in about one second. And it is BADASS.
* Lilo: Don't forget about me, okay?!
Stitch: Okay! Okay...(sees tanker)...[[LetsGetDangerous "okay".]]

Lilo: Don't forget about me, okay?!

* Cobra Bubbles gets one back in the day that actually ''saved the Earth''. Remember that the Grand Councilwoman's first thought was to ''gas'' Earth when it was projected that Stitch would land there. Her second though was destroying the island. Both times she was shot down because mosquitoes are considered an endangered species and humans are part of its food chain. [[spoiler:Back in Roswell, former CIA Bubbles convinced an alien race that mosquitoes were an endangered species]]. Also one of Disney's finest [[BrickJoke Brick Jokes]].

* A more subtle one. Experiment 626 was designed to destroy everything he touches. His only instincts are to enable him to fulfill that goal. Lilo, a six year old girl, not only manages to turn him from his original programming in less than three days without even trying to the point where even the Grand Councilwoman can see he's a civilized individual, but she then proceeds in the sequels and television series to repeat this process for over six hundred more dangerous and evil experiments even when they could easily kill her with their capabilities. By "Leroy and Stitch", she ends up with [[spoiler: Gantu, the guy she and Stitch have been humiliating for about three years on a regular basis,]] pointing out that she's a credible threat to Hamsterviel's EvilPlan and actually [[HeelFaceTurn turning to her side]] because she's just that talented at gaining formerly-evilish individuals to turn good. Stitch might be [[SuperStrength super strong]], but Lilo's got her [[ThePowerOfFriendship own power]].

* Jumbaa's has to be when he turns to Stitch and shouts "IIIIIIIIIIIIIT'S SHOWTIME!"

!!Movie

!!The Series
* The fact that Lilo, a little 6-7 year old girl who, up to that point, had an average life with her sister, is able to reform 600+ genetic monsters and get them to get into a normal life.
* Stitch was able to take out the titutlar experiment 601 (aka Kixx) after getting better from a toxin. Andi t's very impressive since Kixx's entire function was to fight.

* Stitch's moment towards the end of the movie, when he [[spoiler:tackles a gasoline truck, drives it into a volcano, tears a hole in it, and rides the ensuing explosion to crash through Gantu's ship, gets pounded with Gantu's enormous fist, only to lift up said fist while yelling "also cute and FLUFFY!"]] Epic win.

* Stitch's escape from [[CardboardPrison the prison ship]].

** FridgeBrilliance might apply here...he's not just riding the explosion. He's SURFING THE WAVE OF FIRE.

* "Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw."

* One of the most awesome things about Stitch is that he was designed to be, and in fact remains, ChaoticEvil, but still has people he considers to be family and friends whom he wants to protect. He is the ultimate counterpoint for any "evil can't care about people or control itself" argument.

** To put this into perspective, Lilo says this to the Grand Councilwoman herself. A six year old girl pulled a legal loophole out on one of the most powerful and wise aliens in the galaxy and won.

* This troper is quite the fan of Sci Fi, and Stitch's escape from [[CardboardPrison the prison ship]] is STILL one of the best he's ever seen.

** This troper loved the delivery of his triumphant "ALOHA!!!" in the aforementioned scene.

** How is Stitch still evil when he clearly goes through a HeelFaceTurn, constantly tries to be good and overall is shown to be very upset when he realized his destructive tendencies have consequences? At most Stitch was ChaoticNeutral during his brief evil phase.
** Evil implies choice. A tornado cannot be evil, even if it destroys a city and kills thousands, because it does not have a ''choice'' in doing so. It's a natural disaster, doing only what it is supposed to do. When Stitch was originally created, he was a walking natural disaster waiting to happen. He was basically a baby with no other knowledge than how to destroy things. He wasn't given a choice, he was ''designed'' for destruction on grand scale. However, [[BadPowersGoodPeople even the ability to destroy, if properly utilized, can be used for good.]]
*** He ''was'' given a choice. Remember the Grand Councilwoman's request show that there was good in him? Look how he chose to respond that.
**** At that point, Stitch had only been exposed to Jumba. He knew *nothing* but what Jumba had programmed him with. So of course he was going to respond to that as per his programming.

** To put this into perspective, Lilo says this to the Grand Councilwoman herself. A six year old girl pulled a legal loophole out on one of the most powerful and wise aliens in the galaxy and won.
