Awesome / W.I.T.C.H. (2004)

• After a 10-Minute Retirement in the episode "The Mudslugs", Cornelia returns with a vengeance, picking up a huge section of earth that the mother mudslug is embedded in and tossing it into a nearly portal after a serious show of exertion.
• In the first-season finale "The Final Battle", Elyon unleashes the full extent of her powers on Phobos after learning about his true nature. For half of the season, Phobos had been manipulating Elyon, pretending to be a loving big brother to her as he prepared to steal her powers. Just before imprisoning Phobos in a magical cage, Elyon says this:
  Elyon: This castle, hundreds of guards, your creatures! All that energy just to perpetuate an evil lie. Goodbye Phobos, you were never my brother.
• The All Your Powers Combined finale for season one was wicked. The girls manage to defeat Phobos even after he'd turned himself into a giant five-headed dragon.
• Blunk biting Cedric's tail in the season one finale, finally showing his own action chops.
  Blunk: Blunk not scavenger. Blunk warrior!
• The Guardians' Battle in the Center of the Mind with Nerissa in "E is for Enemy". Special mention to Taranee for being the one to figure out what Nerissa was doing and taking point by getting the girls to take advantage of the fact they were in a dream of their own.
• "G is for Garbage": Despite dealing with a lot of jerkass behavior from Irma, Blunk repeatedly proves his mettle as an ally in numerous ways. He tracks down Jeek, uses a makeshift go-kart to escape the brainwashed guardians and Matt, uses ear wax to make him and Irma immune to the Horn of Hypnos' power and undoes the horn's effect on the guardians by remembering the notes needed to neutralize it. Irma also gets a great moment when she creates massive armor made of water to fight the other guardians. Granted it fails when Will uses electricity on her, but it was awesome to see nonetheless.
• Hay Lin gets two in "J is for Jewel":
  • First she manages to get the word of Phobos's escape out to the other guardians about, all of whom are on vacation in different parts of the globe and manages to help them make it to Kandrakar. She even lends her life force to her grandmother so she can teleport the other girls.
  • She tries to take on Phobos alone but he overpowers her and mockingly refers to her as the weak link. This proves to be a mistake in his part.
  Hay Lin: If I'm the weakest link, then you must really be in trouble. (kicks Phobos across the room)
  • Elyon also gets one in the same episode for coming in to put Phobos in his place just as he gets his second wind. Especially impressive when you consider she was emotionally devastated from the false memories she'd been fed of her parents hating her and loving Phobos.
  Elyon: Phobos! Who said you could leave your room brother?
• Matt freeing himself from Shagon's control during the episode "S is for Self". First, he convinces Shagon to give him brain and body control to sing a song. Just when Shagon's about to kill Will, Matt takes over and starts singing, tipping off Will and cutting off her hatred so that he can finish Shagon off. You wouldn't expect a guy like Matt to be a Guile Hero, would you?

  Matt: Game, set, match, Shagon. So Shagoff! *blows him to bits*

  • Some more information to add: Matt combined the "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight with The Power of Rock. After attempting to overpower Shagon with his fists ("wrong weapon"), he materializes a guitar out of sheer willpower and blasts the demon out of his mind with a series of power chords ("right weapon"). After doing so, he not only regains control of his own body but absorbs Shagon's powers as well, giving him the ability to take Shagon's form and use his nifty demonic attacks.
• We're probably not supposed to think so, but Elyon completely owning all of Team WITCH at least twice in the show, and the amounts of power she displays while making her big bad brother look meek by comparison, is pretty awesome.
• Every once in a while, Caleb gets an opportunity to show that it is possible to be Badass Normal in this magic-filled world. Special moments include luring the Tracker to a portal and escaping him, judo-tossing Kor and sending Shagon crashing to the ground by grabbing his wing in mid-air.
• Will calling out her mom in "H is for Hunted" for lying about her relationship with Dean while lecturing her [Will] on responsibility. Susan is just stunned into silence, especially when Dean admits Will has a point.
• Irma's Shut Up, Hannibal! moment with Ember in "L is for Loser":
  Ember: Your misery will make me more powerful than ever!
  Irma: Here's the thing. My misery? Not so important right now. What's important is making it up to Martin! You? You are just a Knight of Distraction!
  Ember: ...I don't feel any pain!
  Irma: Aw, really? Here's some!
• "N Is For Narcissist", Cornelia absorbing all of the Guardians' powers and getting a major upgrade. She then proceeds to curb stomp the Knights of Destruction before returning to normal.
  "Hey, Ice-guy! Chill! "
• Yan Lin and Caleb are the only two people Nerissa approaches who resist her attempts to make them join her. She manages to get three of the former guardians by finding each one's Fatal Flaw but it doesn't work with either Yan Lin or Caleb.
  • For Yan Lin, she doesn't have one flaw to draw on so she tries to convince her to join her friends and regain her youth and beauty. Yan Lin responds that youth is overrated and she's still beautiful, forcing Nerissa to capture her rather than gain her powers willingly.
  • She plays on Caleb's sense of duty and family, but he flat-out tells her that doesn't apply to her and (with the help of his father and the guardians) escapes.
• How about how Dean saves Susan from falling to her death in "M is for Mercy"? What makes this scene even more epic and beautiful is the line he states after Susan frantically tells him that she's slipping:
  Dean: NO! I won't let you fall!
  • A second after this line, Dean does pull her up.
• Awesome Music: "We are, we are, we are, W.I.T.C.H.!/We are, we are!"
  • The European version is arguable just as good.
  • Both of the songs we hear from Matt's band, "The Demon In Me" and "The Will to Love".
• "P is for Protectors"
  • Taranee is in a nasty mood due to an argument with her mother regarding Nigel. This causes her to make uncharacteristic tactical errors in her fight with Ember, as the lava demon simply absorbs her fire blasts to fuel herself. Once Taranee clears her head, she realizes her mistake and defeats Ember by draining the heat from her instead.
  • Taranee directing the other four Guardians in using their powers to heal the jungle of Zamballa and awaken Ironwood from her hibernation.
  • Taranee owns up to her mistake in not telling her mother about Nigel and apologizes, showing that she can acknowledge her faults unlike Kadma.
• Matt, Huggles and Napoleon revealing themselves as Lillian's Regents in "U is for Undivided".
• Any time Nerissa's plans come to fruition is a moment of awesome. Special mention goes to how she spent an entire episode manipulating Kadma's pride without the latter knowing it in "Q is for Quarry".
• The utter ownage Phobos inflicts on Nerissa in "W Is For Witch".
  • Phobos, in general, is an awesome villain, and in the comics and cartoon whenever he fought the Guardians he overpowered them very easily even though it was five against one, and his plan to become the Oracle in the comics and his backup plan were awesome even though they both failed.
• In "Y Is for Yield", the reveal of Will's plan to defeat Phobos if (actually when) he betrayed them.
  • Also, the reveal that Raythor pulled a Heel–Face Turn a few episodes ago (as per Will's plan), and convinced Gargoyle and Sand Pit to do it too (but not Tracker, who is pure evil, or Frost, who is stupid even compared to Gargoyle and a mass of living sand).
  • And, at the end of the episode, Cedric using a nearly identical plan to steal from Phobos the power of the Heart of Meridian, that of the Heart of Zamballa, and Phobos' natural power as an afterthought. Plus, revealing he saw through Will's plan from the start and got the idea from there.
    • Meaning that Will's plan only worked because Cedric allowed it.
• W.I.T.C.H. going into Zenith form in a Big Damn Heroes moment for the season two finale "Z is for Zenith".
  • The Guardians going One-Winged Angel and kicking Cedric's ass in the series Grand Finale.
  • The Guardians' allies got their moments in the finale as well. From Matt, Huggles, and Napoleon creating a glamour to obscure the Guardians' battle from Heatherfield, to minor character Captain Drake figuring out how to kill the Tracker, to Sandpit saving Caleb and Blunk from Miranda and protecting the Aurameres. And of course, Elyon and the original Guardians giving Cedric was Yan Lin refers to as a "Mega Kong Pow case of indigestion".
