History Awesome / VforVendetta

* The fact that V somehow creates the Shadow Gallery deep within the bowels of the London Underground and stores not only all the computing powers of a FAITH twin system in which he can ''tap into and control all aspects of the fascist government's surveillance;'' but also accrue a vast collection of banned ancient culture in the form of music records and a gigantic renaissance library to preserve for future generations when his anarchistic violence is no longer necessary.

* V's first scene in which he effortlessly disarms and beats up three armed would-be-rapist secret policemen, embarks on a tongue twisting introduction, and [[AbsurdlySharpBlade carves his initials into a state propaganda poster and the wall beneath.]]

-->'''Creedy:''' We've swept this whole place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have ''guns''.

-->'''V:''' [[PreAssKickingOneLiner My]] [[NowItsMyTurn turn]].

* There is Evey, imprisoned and tortured but, inspired by Valerie's story and her lesson about the value of personal integrity in face of such tyranny, she chooses rather to die behind the chemical sheds when told to sell out V. At that DefiantToTheEnd stand on principle, she learns she is truly free as he discovers that [[spoiler:the whole experience was V's effort to give her that kind of indomitable strength of character to continue his fight]].

-->'''V:''' There. Did you think to kill me? There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea. ''Ideas are bullet-proof''. Farewell.

* Delia's diary reveals that V annihilated Larkhill's military contingent and escaped the camp by using napalm and mustard gas that he made out of ''gardening supplies''.

* V escaping from prison with self made explosives from fertilizer. MacGyver himself could not have topped that one.

* Rosemary, after suffering months of degradation, shooting Chancellor Susan in the face in front of the entire Norsefire Party political rally. Unlike her erstwhile husband, she actually remembered to ''load'' the revolver.
* Speaking of that scene, when Almond [[OhCrap realises his gun is empty]] when he confronts V on the bedroom landing hallway of Dr. Surridge's house. You don't need sound bubbles to know [[SingleStrokeBattle what happens next.]]

* In ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'', after V's done temporarily shrugging off several bullets.

** The single line ''"While the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation words will always retain their power."'' Especially epic because its obvious that Gordon takes the words to heart as a [[RousingSpeech motivator]] for his later awesomeness.

* V's first scene in which he effortlessly disarms and beats up three armed rapists, embarks on a tongue twisting intro, and carves his initial into a wall.
* V's speech to London, followed by his escape by making everyone wear a mask.

* Everyone believes V's dead, and the government's challenged him to prove them wrong. The way Evey, having become V, does it, is epic.
-->'''V:''' They say anarchy's dead, but see, reports of my death were... exaggerated.

* Um? The ending? [[spoiler: PARLIAMENT BLOWING UP to the 1812 OVERTURE?!?!?!?]]

* In ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'', [[spoiler: after V's done temporarily shrugging off several bullets]]:
--> '''V''': Did you think to kill me? There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea. ''Ideas are bullet-proof''.
* Shortly after which, Inspector Finch gets his own CMOA: "I killed you, you bastard...I KILLED YOU!"
* Everyone believes V's dead, and the government's challenged him to prove them wrong. The way [[spoiler:Evey, having become]] V does is epic.
--> '''V:''' They say anarchy's dead, but see, reports of my death were... exaggerated.

--> '''V:''' [[TheRollingStones Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste.]]

-->'''V:''' No. What you ''have'' are ''bullets'', and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing, because if I am... you'll all be dead before you've reloaded.
-->'''Creedy:''' [[TemptingFate That's impossible.]] Kill him!
-->''Lots of gunfire ensues. V [[spoiler:remains standing]].''
-->'''V:''' [[spoiler:[[PreAssKickingOneLiner My]] [[NowItsMyTurn turn]].]]
** You forgot the best part: [[spoiler:"Beneath this mask there is more than flesh...Beneath this mask, there is an ''idea'', Mr. Creedy...and ''ideas. Are. Bulletproof.''"]]
** This troper agrees with that as far as it goes, but was literally physically ''shaken'' by [[spoiler: the march of the Vs on Parliament]].
*** Especially the part where [[spoiler: the confused armed soldiers lower their guns rather than firing into the unarmed crowd, letting the marchers pass]]. This editor didn't even particularly ''like'' the film, but still finds that part incredibly awesome.

** This troper knew the film was going to be made of win from the beginning of the scene at the tv studio.

* V's first scene in which he effortlessly disarms and beats up three armed rapists, embarks on a tongue twisting intro, and carves his initial into a wall.

* The explanation of Sutler's ascension to power.
* The [[SmugSnake smug]] and sadistic Louis Prothero bragging about how he'd have taken V down if he'd had the chance. Then when V appears seconds later about to seek revenge, Prothero is just about pissing himself with terror.
* Gordon gets one with his sketch lampooning Sutler. Awesomeness is to be expected when StephenFry is present.
* V escaping from prison with self made explosives from fertilizer. MacGyver himself could not have topped that one.
** Fertilizer is one of the most common ingredients of improvised explosive. Still awesome though.
* The entire film is one huge CMOA for V, as you watch his plans play out and culminate in the completion of what Guy Fawkes had failed to complete 400 or so years previously.

* In ''VForVendetta'', [[spoiler: after V's done temporarily shrugging off several bullets]]:

-->'''V:''' [[spoiler:[[NowItsMyTurn My turn]].]]

*** This troper feels whole new levels of awesome emanating from the screen every time she watches that scene.
