10 Stupid Movie Villain Plans That Make NO Sense
10. Screenslaver - The Incredibles 2
The Incredibles 2 begins with the superhero family accidentally causing major damage to the city. This incident causes Supers to be perceived as a danger to society, tarnishing the reputations of Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Dash, and Violet.
Fortunately, the family is hired by an entrepreneur and Supers activist, Winston Deavour, to protect the country. During these missions, Elastigirl repeatedly encounters a supervillain called the Screenslaver (which is an awesome name). In the end, Elastigirl learns the Screensaver is Winston's sister, Evelyn. Evelyn monologues (as all supervillains do) how a superhero failed to save her father when she was a child. This trauma inspired her to build technology that would brainwash Supers like The Incredibles to commit crimes, causing humanity to lose fate in heroes forever.
There's just one problem. Society already hated superheroes! Before Winston hired The Incredibles, the family were living in a crummy motel despite saving the world several days prior. Also, costumed vigilantism is still considered a crime and has been for decades.
Instead of spending millions of dollars, inventing state-of-the-art technology, and devising the Screenslaver persona, Evelyn was better off doing absolutely nothing if she wanted mankind to vilify Supers.
