What happened to the villains after supers were banned?
There is no satisfying answer
>>155414883they had to work minimum wagie jobs undercover like saul goodman. bomb voyage was juggling pins in ratatouille
>>155414883The advent of police sniper units really fucked up the whole super villain model.
>>155414883Death
Momentor trapped everyone in a simulated reality and took over the world.
Much better than all those ugly humans in Shrek 2 a few months before

>>155414883In canon the government likely has a task force that manages minor villains and assassinates major villains.In a more fun world a mind controller like Mezmerella likely took over the government secretly and used her powers to create the anti-super narrative. They then use the government to "recruit" lesser villains.
>>155414883The way I see it, I imagine that the banning of superheroes lead police forces and military to make advancements towards dealing with villains that made it easier for said non-super forces to crack down on them. Worth noting that the film takes place in 1962 with the beginning set in 1947, that was before stuff like SWAT teams and several FBI advancements were invented, and since this film is set in a world with retrofuturistic technology, I imagine they would be even more advanced in that time period.
>>155414883Government spooks went around and assassinated them all
>Yes?>Is this the Parr’s residence?>Yes, I’m Kari, the babysitter>Well, hello, uh, Kari. I’m, uh...>You’re my replacement. Thank heaven you’ve come!...What does the S stand for?>For...sitter. Yeah, sitter. Originally, I was gonna have initials for babysitter, but then I would have been going around wearing a big BS, and you understand why I couldn’t go with that
>>155414883Most people go with governments taking them out, but I doubt that.My assumption is that Syndrome assassinated them to test his early weapon and armor designs from knowing a lot about them and that few would notice their absence.It would explain away why he doesn't seem worried or even mention dealing with real threats during his imagined superhero career.
>>155414883Operation Paperclip or MK Ultra test subjects.
>>155414883Dealt with by regular policemen and government forces. The technology to match supers exist so they aren't a necessity.
>>155416400Holy shit this makes perfect sense. First syndrome’s robot killled all the villains, then he started killing heroes. You’re a genius!
>>155416400He goes after villains at first and then slippery slope made him go for the heroes too.
>>155414883We didn't really see any villains who weren't just using technology, so it's not inconceivable to think that the government was able to handle them even without heroes in the mix.
>>155414883Between Syndrome, Bomb Voyage, Underminer, and Screen Slaver, it seems like most villains rely on technology rather than having actual powers. Maybe superpowers make people far more likely to choose good, like a halo effect.
>>155417319Sorry didn't mean to hivemind you bro.
>>155415417Member like a decade ago when we did a bunch of fat greentexts about her?
>>155414883I assumed there was a government program to take out villains (and heroes) that didn't comply with the supers ban.
>>155417338>>155417409This, people with super abilities get good government incentives to use their powers for good. Gamma Jack was a supervillain in all but name, but because the NSA had him on a tight leash he couldn't do anything reckless.
>>155415718>>155415417>>155417319>>155414964>movie presents outlawing heroes as a bad thing>turns out it's actually fine since the government can just remove 99% of super villains fairly easily
>>155414883>What happened to the villains after supers were banned?They got rid of the supers as a way to get influence. Now most of them are politicians
>>155414883Why would you arch without resistance? That's masturbation at that point.
>>155414883hopefully just killed by the Feds or the IDF who fund domestic terrorism to justify the overly taxed population
>>155415417>MezmerellaShe cute
>>155414883This is a general issue with a lot of Superhero Deconstructions as well.The villain issue is usually solved off screen or never brought up
>>155417777
>Recording, this is Agent Rick Dicker interviewing Draper Mitnick aka Short Circuit. Known powers include technopathy and mild electrical generation. Try not to mess up my tape recorder.>So, caught you red-handed redirecting money transfers to your own account. The FBI would love to get their mitts on you but we get to work you over first.>We could just lock you up, a nice 6 by 4 cell, no TV or radio, of course, but let me offer you a deal. There are several supers, heroes and your villain pals, still active and I've been tasked with dealing with them.>You help us with bringing them in, keep your nose clean, and we'll make sure you get a nice desk job in Akron where you can't commit wire fraud. So do we have a deal or do you want a mint on your prison bed pillow?
A newspaper headline says that crime is soaring in the first movie.I imagine without superheroes, they dropped the super aspect and just robbed banks and killed people without a dumb name or gimmick attached to it.
>>155414883The heroes did such a good job defeating them that they declined in number, but without supervillains as a consistent threat the public didn't see the point of superheroes anymore.
>>155414883The writers didn't think about that because this movie isn't as smart and innovative as the fans and writers think it is.Try watching the movie and it's test film with dvd commentary, it might sour you on it like it did to me. The writers really had high options of themselves.
>>155417576In fairness, from what we see it seems like very few supers in the Incredibles universe are bullshit gamebreaking "my power is I have all the powers" supers like you get in DC/Marvel. I feel like you're much less likely to go full-villain if you're not all that powerful (or, at least, if you are just as likely to go full-villain, it's much easier for the government to discreetly take you out)
>>155414883They either went into hiding or retired, but they were not inactive. If you pay attention to one of the newspaper segments during the movie, you can see that there is actual text written there. One of the pages has a short segment written about doomsday or destructive devices being used in garages, suburbs, or such, and there's been a rise in incidents such as these. Alongside that, crime was also on the rise and reaching record numbers, so it seems that villains were also getting tired of being bored, and kept committing crimes but without their costumes. Just like Mr. Incredible and Frozone.
Memory-erasing technology exists in the Incredibles, there’s a chance the FBI captured the villains and MKUltra’d them
>>155418705It's pretty fucked up when you think about it.
>>155418757>Tony straight up forgot Vi existed>Rick Dicker just shrugs and goes "Yeah energy induced lobotomies are always a bit touch and go."
>>155416400Yeah, that’s my assumption too. He didn’t need the other villains as competition and no one would miss them. He might’ve also did it as an ego thing too, to prove he was better than the heroes at their job. Also dead villains would make the super-hero ban work even better, since no super would be tempted to come out of retirement to stop a villain committing a crime.
>>155417777I hate how much a lot of superhero media doesn't seem to give a shit or takes for granted supervillains as a presence in it's setting
>>155418770>"You accidentally wiped all memory of my daughter from him">"oops"
I assume they did it for the chases and mass retired due to no wanting to face the military directly
>>155418484How do you explain this shit then? Anon?>>155418370>>155418639
>>155418705Yeah, but they always make it look like it only erases a few hours or days. You'd probably melt their brain if you tried to erase years of memory.
>>155414883The Incredibles never addressing the existence of supervillains will always bug me somethin fierce
>>155414883I wonder if The Incredibles 3 will deal with supervillains reappearing since superheroes are legalized again.
>>155414883>>155414893>Where are they now?>They are living among us.>Average murderers, average rapists.>Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world... a worse place.>AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE
>>155415108>>155415186Looks great faggot.
>>155421868The Super Scare. The House Committe on Super-Human Activities. Sansweetism.
>>155414931>bomb voyage was juggling pins in ratatouilleNot only that, but ratatouille is far off from the incredibles timeline. He probably just went straigh legit for the rest of his life
>>155421990He probably got his fill of glory in going against Mr. Incredible and getting away with it. Thanks Syndrome.
>>155414883They got old.
>>155414883They should have been free to terrorize the world and bleed it to death.
Cannonically, Bomb Voyage is still a public figure in Ratatouille
>>155414883>>155422074Not just that but in the comics it outlines he actually elluded the NSA for years post ban. Heres a fatass version of him
>>155414883Syndrome killed them. He wanted control over the whole superhero scene so eliminating the villains makes sense. Syndrome made a giant robot for his debut, he would have likely made more of his own villains to fight, the old ones are too out of his control.
>>155422074Ratatouille is set in the year it was released though, meanwhile the Incredibles is set in the 1960’s, maybe Bomb Voyage had a son or something, Bomb Voyage Jr.
>>155414883they were banned too
