Kira's Finest Hour is a potential movie by user Our Green Tornado, based on two dreams she had and featuring a lot of underrated movies. It is based on the 2015 underrated movie Pixels and the 2018 movie Ready Player One with elements from the 2016 underrated movie The Angry Birds Movie.
Plot
"The best fighters do not show off their anger."
"The wisest warrior wins without a battle."
"The flexible willow tree does NOT fight against the fierce wind—yet it survives."
"She who conquers her own mind is the greatest warrior."
"The mind is stronger than the flesh. It can defeat any opponent, no matter how strong."
By the year 2045, humankind has opened up to space and met various alien species. Most of them are friendly towards the Earth while others are hostile. In order to defend Earth from the hostile aliens, Kira Kaiser, an ordinary 14-year-old girl is selected by the U.S Government as the Ultimate Weapon without her knowledge or consent. Her main enemies are the aliens from the planet T0M4T0(meant to be a reference to Rotten Tomatoes), whom she easily defeats using only her brain.
Starring
Notable Underrated Movies Club/Super Galaxy Underrated Movies Club Members
- Kira Kaiser, Average Intelligence—The 14-year-old titular protagonist who lives with her older sister and maternal aunt in the Bird Alien District, and the youngest member(also the only 14-year-old) of a teenage group called the Underrated Movies Club(which later becomes the Super Galaxy Underrated Movies Club). She is a blonde punk who has dyed her hair cyan, and she was turned into the Ultimate Weapon against her will(i/e:an electronic brain). The government dresses her in an outfit that looks like a cross between Emperor Zarkon and Star Guardian Syndra, gives her a headpiece/electronic brain controller similar to that of Overwatch's Symmetra and starts calling her "Agent Kaiser" when it is revealed she is the Ultimate Weapon. She signs up to play in the aliens' Infinite Multiverse Arcade when she realizes her sister and aunt are in danger, and later gets a girlfriend. Her favorite underrated movie is Pixels, which the movie heavily focuses on. According to the director, she is "the exact result you get when you cross Carrie White with Elder God Demonbane".

Trivia
- Kira's parents were abducted by unknown aliens when Julie was 5 and Kira had just been born, and later, Kira swears revenge on the aliens who abducted her parents.
- Kira is the only one who calls David "Yard Ape", but after David and Julie get married, Kira finally calls him "Uncle David".
- Kira, Kelly, and Julie's house is meant to be a reference to the anger management center in The Angry Birds Movie.
- Fury calling Kira "Kira-Kaiser-Average-Intelligence"(though only in signals) is meant to be a reference to the Ben 10 episode "Alone Together" along with the line "Ben would have known what Reiny was saying.".
- Kira and Fury's relationship is strongly implied like that of Korrasami, let alone these lines:
D.W:Hey, Big K, is that your Jaeger?
Kira:Girlfriend.
- The wedding scene in the end is meant to mirror Peaches and Julian's wedding in ice Age:Collision Course.
- Kira's nickname for Fury is "Iron Jaeger", since her particle charger resembles Iron Man's uni-beam.
- In the opening credits, a young Kira is shown playing with a miniature Obsidian Fury(which is destroyed after the house gets blown up, leaving only a piece of chainsaw). Much to everybody's surprise, that toy actually is something that belongs to the director.
- The final "battle" resembles a court scene from legal drama movies, with everybody present.
- In the end, Kira sets out again, but this time, her enemies are from the planet CR1T1C, a spoof of Metacritic, leaving the door wide open for a sequel.
- Before "Kira's Finest Hour", there was "Leyenar's Finest Hour", a movie about the director herself exploring underrated movies and telling people why they are great. But when she looked upon it later, it was far from perfection. So she decided to remake it into a Pixels-based movie.
- "Kira's Finest Hour" is also based on a book the director read in her dreams. She can't remember the title exactly but it DEFINITELY had "Secret Society" in it. The book was about a group of teenagers making the coolest machine in the whole entire universe, and there was a court scene too. It ended with the phrase "Every person is a good person". Does anybody know where that book went? Is it even real? But one thing is for sure:The director wants to read it again!
