** And even after the betrayal, Peggy also reveals that she didn't want Stanley to be harmed, protesting against Dorian that he promised he wouldn't hurt Stanley. Luckily, Stanley is mostly unharmed, despite him being arrested. But her showing concern and only doing it so she wouldn't be homeless, it's pretty hard to hate her.

* There are very few instances where the Mask doesn’t [[AttentionDefictOohShiny get distracted by whatever trivial thing he wants to do]] and leaps right into action... and most of the time, it’s because of ''Milo''. It just really makes it clear just how much both Stanley and The Mask care about that dog.

* While the climax of "The Hunt for Green October" is enough to invoke a lifetime of AdultFear, the ending is pretty sweet. Ray Tuttle, the man who just wanted payback on Sky City's dirty elite, now finds himself under the crosshairs of a Nazi cult who wants the Mask to rule the world, and they go so far as to use his daughter to blackmail him. Little does he know that she had gotten a hold of the Mask and was out exacting her own brand of revenge, and when they decide to use Ray as hostage to barter for the mask (after she takes out all other gangs vying for it like punks), she decides to have her dear Daddy become Big Head one last time so he can take out the Nazi filth. After doing so, he retains enough sanity to save the girl's life from an explosion (caused by the Nazi leader in a TakingYouWithMe moment), and when they're safe, she pleads to Ray to stop being Big Head ever again, having finally realized for herself how it pushes people to violence and murder, and she doesn't want anybody else to end up like her mother. So she pleads to him for her mother's sake. Hammering it home is the fact that she had stopped speaking ever since witnessing her mother's death, and the kid finally talking to him for the first time in months, probably a couple of years, showing that she had finally come to grips with what happened... Well, it's a rare moment of levity in such an over-the-top-violent comic.

* After Stanley's been arrested (thanks to Dorian), Tina visits him in prison to warn him about Dorian's plan to attack the charity ball. We then get this exchange:
-->'''Tina:''' Thanks.\\

'''Tina:''' Lots of things. Sharing the sunset with me. For being the only guy whose ever treated me like a person and not some sort of party favor. For being any kind of romantic, even a hopeless one.\\
'''Stanley:''' ...You're welcome.\\
'''Tina:''' You know that night at the club? I knew I'd found someone special.\\
'''Stanley:''' ''[rolls his eyes dejectedly]'' The Mask.\\
'''Tina:''' No, it was the guy inside the mask. It was you, all along. Stanley... Ip... ''[[AlmostKiss kiss]]''.
