YMMV: The Man Who Was Thursday
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Syme winning the support of the anarchists with an improvised speech. Combined with Gregory's reaction, it doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Sunday, in spades.
  • Uncanny Valley: Sunday gives this vibe even to his admirers — mostly because the man is so damned big. Chesterton's narration describes him as being out of scale with his surroundings, like a statue carved larger than life-size.
    • Syme finds the whole Council to have this effect, but more so in the case of Sunday.
