Hold onto your hats for this bonkers yet giddily amusing theory courtesy of Reddit.

The villainous scheme of Incredibles 2's antagonist The Screenslaver involves criminal mastermind Evelyn Deavor (Catherine Keener) using her mind control technology to turn a hapless pizza delivery guy into the puppet for her suited-up crimes.

The theory notes that the nature of Evelyn's plot is oddly similar to the fascinating real-life story of Brian Wells, a pizza delivery man who was murdered after an explosive collar was fitted around his neck and he was forced to rob a bank in order to unlock the device.

There are obvious differences between the two stories, but the core similarities include both men delivering pizzas only to find themselves strapped with a technological contraption by a duplicitous woman.

Whether this theory emerged through a plume of weed smoke or not, it sure is interesting, and sometimes that's better.
