>invents hypnosis technology >uses it on superheroes instead of brainwashing the public to hate them
I suppose it's more cost effective to brainwash the few supers that exist rather than literally everyone else.
>>154180507The movie seems to imply she has to maintain the signal constantly or they snap out of it. Easier to get a few supers to ruin their reputations and let public opinion do the rest than to keep millions under constant mind control.
She should've hypnotized me to be her living dildo
this sequel is so dumb.. literally the same plot as the first, but lamer and gayer>feminism/lefty politics in my animated mid-century superhero spy thriller movieBravo, Brad Bitch..
>>154180507Helen Parr honestly should've just killed her, they had no problem killing Syndrome.
>hates superheroes>so gets a job that is solely responsible for rehabilitating their imageShe would have done more damage being libs of tiktok but for supes.The whole plot point that her parents were such glazers that they wouldn't even call 911 was too contrived to take seriously.
>>154180537She has infinite resources and free access to television broadcasting.
>>154180892They didn't actively kill Syndrome, he got his cape stuck.
>>154180965Her father being a super superhero fan is acceptable, as is him calling the supes instead of the police, he can just be that confident on them. The real contrivance is the super hotline being outside the panic room.
>>154181869what i mean is there's literally no reason why you wouldn't just call both
>>154182259I can only assume he'd call the police once he realised supers weren't picking up. We don't really know how much time that took.
>>154181816it only works as long as they watch it geniuseventually someone will catch on, better to get superheroes to act like retards to make them look bad than to risk exposure
>>154181839He threw a car at him
>>154181839Yeah and Helen just shot the glass out while oxygen starved.
>>154180507female on male hypnosis
>>154180507>Captures Ba Sing Se>Gains a massive infrastructure dedicated entirely to brainwashing and creating sleeper agents>This happens immediately after capturing elite warriors that are also close allies of the Avatar>Never puts two and two together and makes Suki a sleeper agentWhat is she, stupid?
Why did she go through all that effort when her backstory alone would be a PR rape? With just a bit of funds, interviews and social media she could utterly ruin the reputation of superheroesBob injurying people during a save was enough to tank supes for years after all.
>>154183769That plot point was terribleOf all the shit to yank costumed vigilantes from the streets for, that wouldn't even rateThe simple fact that Bomb Voyage exists means that calamatous collateral damage is guaranteedActually, that's another thing. What about the villains? Surely even if there wasn't a single superpowered villain, there were surely a couple of Evil Genius cosplayers who wouldn't go away simply cause the government says soDid they just get gunned down or what?
>>154183874>What about the villains?Syndrome made billions from weapon manufacturing in order to fund his personal vendetta.I think it would be fair to assume villains went into normal jobs like politics, military and corporations after realizing it would be 10 times more profitable and 50 times easier
>>154180507So many times the supervillain goes for a worse way to use their powers and resources. Create something that a could be patented and make millions off of what would benefit mankind? Nah I'm gonna go rob a bank.>>154181816>She has infinite resourcesNot unless she has the Infinity Gauntlet and all stones.
>>154183967If they were going to do that, why would they decide to go for it when the main means to check them was off the table? I can only assume Interpol or whoever the fuck suddenly speedran supervillain no tolerance and villains who usually got arrested got killed. Then it would make sense for them to suddenly start playing nice.
>>154183672I don't think you can have warriors be brainwashed properly. Jet was a scrub and he started to break free in the middle of a fight. The extreme stress of combat breaks the brainwashing.
Is this the thread
>>154184073Supervillany is no fun when you don't have a hero to bounce off from
>>154183874>>154183967>>154184073If team incredible didn't stop Underminer, what was the government's plan? Just go "the bank is insured so whatever"?It seems to me the villains are still around but the government just stopped fighting them seriously.
>>154180773based
>>154184115Sure, seems hypno enough
>>154184131Arches are necessary
>>154180507Based.
>>154185171She never used it for this though. She’s unbased
>>154182259Rich **** people dont want to operate inside the law. They believe theyre entitled to special treatment and thats supes in that universe. They donr believe in the working man
>>154180507I always wondered: since her mind control works on normal TV screens, couldn't anybody record it on tape and reuse it over and over again?
>>154180507Why does she wear the mask?
>>154180507Wait, that was her goal? I checked out when he used frozen to save the day. I thought it was some convoluted scheme to kill her brother and make it look like supers did it, by brainwashing supers to do it.
im just upset violet didnt get tranced
>>154183672Didn't the Gaang destroy the Da Li's brainwashing facility in Lake Laogai before Azula took over?Besides, Azula had just conquered the largest city in the world and killed the Avatar, so it is understandable that she thought her work was done.
>>154184131>spend ages on your costume and a death ray>go to rob a bank>only the one security guard, he's basically a retired at this point >police don't arrive until you've already left>realise you could've just waltzed in with a party mask and a glock and been just as effectiveLack of supers is the death of villainy.
>>154180507making people genuinely hate supers is probably more beneficial for her beliefs then hypnotizing them into hating supers, the latter wouldn't be genuine
Did she really think nobody would notice all the Super Heroes suddenly wearing goggles with big googly swirly shit on them just like the shit used by the recent super villain who hypnotized everybody? What a stupid fucking plan.
>>154187900I guess you would have to make due with the vast material rewards, power, and revenge on all your enemies.
This movie was better than the first one. All of the detraction was people seething about the hypnosis fetishism. Evelyn is a hottie, aside from her incredibly unattractive Kaczynski-esque Moore-esque belief system.
>>154180892>Helen Parr honestly should've just killed her,I doubt she thought she would survive this
>>154187900I’m flashing back to all the ‘incompetent supervillainess gf’ greenposts from way back when
Did Helen and Evelyn have serious yuri chemistry?
