Since this is a moments page, all spoilers are unmarked!

  • At the end of the episode for Batman & Robin, Lee implies that he took his eventual wife to see the film for their first date, which may explain why he went to such lengths to hold it up for being spectacularly and intentionally bad.
  • At the end of Everything Great about Guardians of the Galaxy video Lee announces that his wife is pregnant.
  • In Everything Great About The LEGO Batman Movie, he mentions his wife had a healthy, beautiful boy, and they are all "stinkin' happy."
  • Using the Thor: Ragnarok video to help promote Movies with Mikey, a series by lesser know YouTube channel FilmJoy that also focuses on spreading positivity.
  • He genuinely hopes that Josh Trank gets a Career Resurrection, citing the 2015 Fantastic Four movie as more of a speed bump than a Creator Killer while also refusing to acknowledge Trank's behind-the-scenes troubles as anything to degrade his talents.
  • Lee notes that he's interacted with negative comments before, but while they often start off very mean-spirited, most of the conversations have ended amicably according to him, even to the point where he concludes that "most people are...just...like not terrible."
  • Anytime he honors recently-deceased actors who starred in movies he reviews
  • A few minutes of "Everything Great About Split" are devoted to exploring the complexities of movie-making, noting that everyone of the crew, not just M. Night Shyamalan, who worked on The Last Airbender had at least one mega-smash hit under their belt at the time. He notes that making a movie as good as Split isn't just as simple as getting good people together and, no matter how much the Internet may say otherwise, no one person is to blame for a bad movie.
  • Lee notes during his summation for Pokémon Detective Pikachu that the film was his first in-depth exposure to the Pokémon franchise, as the games first came out in the United States when he was in high school and he just never got into them later. He went on to express jealousy at the fanbase, realizing he truly missed out. He also said the fandom was largely very good and excited about there being a Pokémon film, even when citing faults.
  • Just listening to how excited Lee is to show his son Jude Star Wars when he's old enough is quite endearing.
  • Lee's gushing about Thor's depression subplot in Avengers: Endgame and how it culminates in one hell of a You Are Better Than You Think You Are moment where in spite of believing himself to be a Formerly Fit failure of a king, Thor finds himself to still be very worthy of lifting Mjolnir. An image that Lee happily declares a perfect representation of depression.
    Lee: Hear this message: You are still worthy! Worthy of respect, love, relationships, hammers, whatever!
    • In the same film: his reaction to Captain America getting to reunite with Peggy Carter.
      Lee: Love. (Fifty Wins).
    • The end of Part 3: Lee decides to give into his fanboyism and just add wins like there's no tomorrow for various Awesome Moments...then the counter begins slowing down, finally stopping itself and the video at "I love you 3000" with, you guessed it, 3000 wins. (Though this does dip into Tear Jerker territory, as the last two win counts are the two times where the said line was uttered.)
  • The EGA to Glass showcases the class and dedication of keeping this show as positive to any movie possible for this is the show's very fist Wham Line episode with Lee admitting that he didn't actually like this movie and to still dedicate an EGA episode anyway ultimately showcases that there's still a good balance between personal grudges and making it still a positive show for the viewers. One man's sadness just to make the world happier.
  • After gushing about the animation of Kubo and the Two Strings, Lee turns on the cynicism a bit to display concern about whether or not Laika's animators are getting the pay they deserve for all their hard work.
    • Also, his Fridge-Heartwarming for how Hanzo's line "You are my Quest" is less about objectifying his future wife and more about letting her know she's the love of his life:
    Cinemawins: Here's my read: Julia is my quest. My hero's journey is loving her and giving her the most fulfilling life I can. And now that extends to my son Jude. So when Hanzo says "You are my quest", he phrases it that way because he's abandoning his "prize" quest for her.
  • EGA Frozen II including a "Jude Win" for the Fire Spirit, complete with a recording from the toddler saying "I like him".
    • Lee noting that while Elsa's move in sending away Anna and Olaf without telling them may have been morally wrong from one standpoint, it was also part of her "next right thing" — it would have put them all in danger and her overprotective sister would have done any means to stop Elsa from doing the rest of her journey. So by doing that, she made sure at least Anna would survive.
  • In his video on Birds of Prey he appreciates the work that went into the film especially with the mostly female crew since he feels he gets to see another side of a story he wouldn't have been able to see otherwise.
  • Lee kicks of his video on The Rise of Skywalker video by explaining his mission statement: that every movie has someone who loves it, and he intends to understand why. And for The Rise of Skywalker, one of the most controversial movies of the recent decade... He's that person.
  • Lee announced in his "Wife Win" for Remy during his Ratatouille episode that they're having another baby. He later clarified at the end of the video that she's pregnant with a girl this time.
  • In the Toy Story episode, Lee notes the loving relationship between Andy and his little sister Molly is very similar to his own children, Jude and Margot. They're both older brother and younger sister, share a similar age gap, and Margot absolutely adores her brother which he is very happy about and says gives him hope for the future.
