Line #5 Awesome/JohnCarter


1	* John defeating Tal Hajus (a violent and brutal bastard) by simply beheading him with one swing of his blade, in midair to boot. [[Franchise/MortalKombat Flawless victory.]]
2	** Just before that, he [[ChallengingTheChief challenges Tal for the position of Jeddak]], calling for the support of the other Tharks with, "WHO WILL PLEDGE THEIR METAL TO MINE?!" All the Tharks in arena then draw their swords as asked. ''Every. Single. One of them.''
3	* The white ape sequence, a scene that was heavily marketed in trailers and TV spots.
4	* John's OneManArmy moment against a whole entire army of Warhoons.
5	** Woola's lone moment of helping, showing exactly why a giant dog with SuperSpeed is deadly.
6	** It should be noted that by the end of the battle, John is surrounded by a 360 degree, five foot high ''wall'' of dead Warhoons. That is the ''definition'' of OneManArmy.
7	* Woola throwing a [[SpannerInTheWorks spanner into]] [[TheChessmaster Matai Shang's]] [[SpannerInTheWorks works]]. All by ''crashing into him'' at super speed and destroying his control bracelet, allowing John to escape. DidntSeeThatComing, did you, Shang?
8	* [[RunningGag Tharks do not fly]], so for the final battle, they board a bunch of Zodangan airships and fly them, [[DrivesLikeCrazy badly]], (in)to Helium. They ''could'' try to land, but that's not how Tharks roll, so they just [[DynamicEntry crash the ships right into the battlefield and leap off, guns blazing and swords swinging.]]
9	-->'''Tars Tarkas:''' [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments "Thank the Goddess]] ''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments that's]]'' [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments over with."]]
10	* The first time we see Dejah Thoris in combat. A bunch of Zodangan soldiers charge her, and John steps in front of her to protect the obviously DamselInDistress ("Just get behind me; this could get dangerous"), at which point Dejah whips out a sword and kills three of the soldiers in a matter of ''seconds''.
11	-->'''John Carter:''' "Maybe I should just get behind ''you''."
12	-->'''[[LadyOfWar Dejah Thoris]]:''' "Let me know when it starts getting dangerous."
13	** In the same sequence, Sab Than having John at swordpoint...only to then spot [[OhCrap the entire Thark horde taking aim at his flagship]]. John uses the distraction to escape and Sab is forced to retreat (with the added humilation of one of his gunships being shot down).
14	* John's entire ''decade-long'' BatmanGambit to find not only a way back to Mars but also a SecretKeeper (who turns out to be Creator/EdgarRiceBurroughs) to ensure that his body is in safe hands when he ''does'' return. All while evading the Therns tracking him down across Earth.
15	** The best part? Edgar has opened the tomb, a Thern is about to strike, and then - BANG! John makes his return in a truly awesome way.
16	* Sola pulls Sarkoja into the arena with her, and the White Ape tears Sarkoja in two.
17	-->'''Sarkoja:''' ''[forces Sola to watch Tars]'' Watch your father die like the whimpering Calot (weakling) he is!
18	-->'''Sola:''' No! Let us watch YOU!
19	* The film ends with the title ''John Carter'' turning into ''John Carter '''of Mars''''', and the JCM logo finally showing up. May be a TakeThat against [[ExecutiveMeddling the execs who dropped Mars from the title]], to avoid being associated with ''Mars Needs Moms'' and/or because they thought girls wouldn't watch a movie with Mars in the title.
20	** Also noticeable as Carter tells Woola "John Carter of Mars sounds way better."
