>The Screenslaver interrupts this program for an important announcement. Don't bother watching the rest. Elastigirl doesn't save the day; she only postpones her defeat. And while she postpones her defeat, you eat chips and watch her invert problems that you are too lazy to deal with. Superheroes are part of a brainless desire to replace true experience with simulation. You don't talk, you watch talk shows. You don't play games, you watch game shows. Travel, relationships, risk; every meaningful experience must be packaged and delivered to you to watch at a distance so that you can remain ever-sheltered, ever-passive, ever-ravenous consumers who can't free themselves to rise from their couches, break a sweat, never anticipate new life. You want superheroes to protect you, and make yourselves ever more powerless in the process. Well, you tell yourselves you're being "looked after". That you're inches from being served and your rights are being upheld. So that the system can keep stealing from you, smiling at you all the while. Go ahead, send your supers to stop me. Grab your snacks, watch your screens, and see what happens. You are no longer in control. I am.Holy kino, why couldn't they just stick with this villain?
>>143315692They did. He was just a decoy for her. The problem is that the decoy had more presence than her and she was a pointless twist villain.
>>143315877They honestly would've been better off if they just kept her as the Screenslaver unironically. It still fits pretty well with her motive of her Dad being a retard so complacent on supers that he didn't take any initiative to save himself.....though I'd probably rewrite that to make him slightly smarter.
