This guy has the exact same problem Lex Luthor has. He focused all of his time and energy on revenge against the super that he feels slighted by. Had he actually used his brilliance and finances to help people, he could have made the world a vastly better place AND made the supers irrelevant at the same time. Instead, he goes full villain and brings the supers back into the good graces of society, the exact opposite of your original goal.
@@Mr.Hellerhe was able to create a private military force and somehow was able to create a super death robot under the nose of the government. So he has a pretty great shot.
13:19. Syndrome acted like a superhero for only 1 minute & he made 3 major mistakes: 1) He threw the truck behind him without caring if it would crush anyone or explode. 2) He started celebrating that he damaged the robot despite the fact it wasn't defeated yet. 3) Once the robot attacked him he fled in the direction of the civilians he was trying to save. It's no wonder that after The Incredibles & Frozone defeated the robot later nobody seemed to remember Syndrome or care that he was missing.
He was the embodiment of what the public feared from supers. Someone with godlike powers that's so focused on looking like a hero that they don't care about collateral damage.
@@xerinuspax6843, Strangely enough, the fact that so many charges were levied against the super community implies there were other less than ideal supers operating as heroes that warranted being outlawed (unless you only count a reading of the film that society's oppressive push to force supers to conform to their standards as more of a sinister ploy for control). This idea is left unaddressed in the franchise as of now, the idea of bad supers, just like Buddy's implication that not all supers are powered and some are gadget wielders like him.
@@leeverguy , He guessed that the reason he was being sent after the Omnidroid in the fake mission set up by Syndrome to combat test his designs that it'd become sentient and rebellious, but the truth was it was indeed still following it's orders, only later, Syndrome mishandled the Omnidroid by ordering it to fight him so he could defeat it with his remote.....only it fought for real because that was it's orders and it carried them out to perfection.
I've always felt like if the whole superhero industry didn't collapse so suddenly, SOMEONE would have reached out to Buddy and encouraged him to make superhero tech. Basically on par with how everyone goes to Edna for their outfits.
I think that his approach was all wrong. Sure he was just a kid, but you don't just walk up to a top tier superhero, assert yourself as his sidekick and gadget man, then insert yourself into a particularly dangerous mission without any actual usable experience. He probably should have approached a different hero, and presented an invention tailored to that hero. He may not have become someone's sidekick immediately, but he would have established himself as a reliable source of tech.
@@xerinuspax6843 Oh, absolutely. He completely missed the mark on his sales pitch. But he did have functioning rocket boots. I feel like at least 1 hero would have noticed that and stepped in to guide him. But supers were banned almost immediately following that incident and he never got a chance for someone to reach out to him.
@@xerinuspax6843I mean, this is the famous "Walk up to the boss and tell him you're the man for the job" time period, so he had good reason to think it would work
I think the issue with Syndrome is that he overstepped the Parasocial lines. Yes he was a wide eyed kid but, he was a stalker. I think the one thing he never truly understood was that Mr. Incredible actually saved him from a bomb, I think from his perspective Mr. Incredible was just trying to take him down. It really is a big unfortunate tragedy. But I think it's fair to say that Syndrome was intelligent but mentally unstable
@@goldenfiberwheat238 on the writer's end? Narrative pacing, themes, it was the climax of the story, probably some other stuff. on Syndrome's end? It's been a *really* long day, cut him some slack, lol.
Syndrome died from having his cape snagged by the plane engine shows that not all heroes wear capes, but some of them got killed because of it. As Edna Mode said this best, _"NO CAPES!"_
Bro fr... That might be the most horrific thing I've ever witnessed in my life ever... I cannot fathom the mental gymnastics required to believe that denying 90% of claims is okay
So, an interesting fact about the insurance company that bob worked for. People have analyzed the papers on the CEO's desk, and found that there is an employee notice stating that employees are now required to provide their own supplies, pens, staples, paper, etc.
I kind of forgot how odd it is that Syndrome goes from a really well thought out villain to cartoonishly evil in the last 5-ish minutes. Your telling me, this incredibly smart evil inventor that planned this entire thing out for 20 years, secretly kills dozens of super heroes for it, and only failed because he made his robot too smart, just decides plan B is to kidnap a baby?
I mean, it is a revenge thing, these kind of villians (like Lex Luthor) are so egonistic that they want to watch their enemy suffer, hence why he kept locking up Bob instead of killing him: He wanted him to view his genius. After his plan fails, he probably didnt have a plan B, so he went to their house to ambush them, but found Jack Jack and thought of a way to screw over the family that ruined his dreams
I would argue that this is a chance to have the last laugh. "Oh, well, you're gonna destroy my robot that cost a gazillion dollars like it's another tuesday?! Well, F#%K your baby!". Reminds me of this botched Bank Robbery i heard of. Super smart guy that's robbed a dozen or so banks, has one mess up and quickly falls into panic.
Up to this point, almost everything went according to plan. Or at least he didn't have to make any new plans to fix it. That made him complacent. Once his original plan was fully out the window, it was a new experience. He didn't know how to handle it. Much like a nepo-baby who folds as soon as there's a real challenge.
Developing the AI system to deny insurance claims is way too evil for a kids movie. Standing up and fighting an insurance company that did that would be a truly heroic act.
I've always had a personal fan theory that Buddy was actually a super all along but he was super intelligent and a reality manipulator like Franklin and Valeria Richards combined. I was excited when I saw someone talk about how they thought maybe his parents were supers and some of his first targets. Something, something, Prince of Egypt
Honestly it's a pretty cool theory and I do subscribe to it but by his actions I don't think he knows he's super so it'd feel weird saying that from his perspective
@@Nomsynho in Jungian terms she would be his anima made manifest either via his reality manipulation powers or as an AI he may not even be aware he built. Syndrome would have issues. LoL
Now that I think of it ,Disney's Hercules from Hades perspective would be really funny. But I still think the the wet bandits from home alone 1 and 2 would be a fun holiday video
2:40. While it's never said on-screen, the film takes place in an alternate 1960s United States where they have modern day technology like computers, drones, & A.I. (or at least the 2004 equivalent versions of them).
7:01. There's a fan theory that when Syndrome started out on his revenge plan, he went to Edna to have her make him a super suit, & since she missed those days she probably was alright with making him a suit. However, she included the cape with his super suit because she sensed he wanted it for bad reasons, & she likely thought it could backfire on him like it did for other Supers.
For me, the primary reason I think we never feel like Syndrome is someone "fighting against the genetic elites" is because being a superhero is never displayed as a particularly easy or lucrative job. The best thing they get out of it is fame, but it's not like they can do much with that without blowing their secret identity.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth , Barring the idea that their anonymity theoretically allows them do all kinds of ludicrous things and go back to pretending to be normal people whenever they want. Bob is specifically portrayed as being obsessed with his glory days and Gazerbeam is characterized as maladjusting to civilian life, the major reason present for this is that being forced to be normal all the time when they aren't is suffocating for some supers who want to express their full potential as supers, as beings that aren't normal but take pride in not being normal because they view their paranormal attributes as making them special. So while it's not portrayed as easy, the adventure and glory of being an active hero for these supers is romanticized by them, not just because they were famous, but because they got to be themselves in full. This creates issues because only supers, as in powered beings in this franchise, are treated as "special" and anything else as an imitation of it, as Syndrome imitates heroes for fame, so there is an argument to be made that a story analyzing how only certain attributes are regarded as special while others are demonized, a relevant idea for both superhero fiction and in real life, as well as even things like mythology (take for example certain culture's worship of physical strength and condemnation of magic as dishonorable or "unmanly"), but an idea that wasn't and probably won't ever be explored in this franchise.
Also the thing is it's never stated Mr. Incredible rejected him because he was powerless ... it was because he was a kid in rocket boots and nothing more. Mr.Incredible wasn't even interested in a side kick in general. it's not like he rejected syndrome and then immediately picked up some clumsy kid with a useless power but still accepted him because he technically had a power.
Yeah, all the government did for supers were just cheap motels and job changes. Even that is slowly being taken away in the first and 2nd movie. Its like they always forget how costly the damages the supervillains did to highrise buildings, insurances, and infrastructures in comparison to a job change and ID forgery. The Incredibles stopped Syndrome and his Omnidroid, but their production pipeline, rockets, volcanic island, and private military contractors are still active even if they operates under Mirage. Its not until heroes take private firm jobs they can afford luxury lives despite their service to humanity. If only we could explore the government and private equity criticism further.
@@metazoxan2 From Bob perspective , syndrome was first and foremost, a child. A child who wanted to follow you on your very dangerous job, if one thing went south, their was a good chance the best think he would be able to do for him, would be to get his body and give him a nice funeral. Sure,he should have sat down with him and explained it, instead of being so cold. Maybe find his parents or guardians or something. But he just wanted to make sure he gets it and stays away. Also we see the scene when he told him he would work alone twice, one time from bob one time from syndromes perspective , and it was a lot harsher from syndromes.
After watching so many of Nomsy’s “movie from the villain/opposite prospective” videos, I’ve come to understand that they are not Hilarious at all, and in fact are only tragic and disturbing.
1:57 this scene is shown a second time from syndrome’s perspective, he only remembers Mr Incredible telling him he works alone, and nothing about bomb voyage or his part in the downfall of heroes.
the saddest part is, syndrome very well could have been a super and not have realized it since mind based powers are so incredibly rare in the incredibles universe. the intelligence to make rocket boots at 8 years old is inhuman level of smart
I've always thought Syndrome is tragic. Yeah Mr Incredible is right that the kid is reckless, but he could have like made him a proper sidekick and teach the proper way, or find councelor, or not be rude about it. Buddy wouldn't have grown into a serial killer if he saw not all supers are smug about their talents and have lives of their own.
Unfortunately, Mr. Incredible couldn't see past Buddy being a kid, without powers, and decided that it would be too dangerous to take him on as a sidekick, since he was taking on some of the most dangerous people humanity could produce. Which wasn't a bad thing. But his mistake, instead of talking to Buddy and explaining why he wouldn't take him on, he tried to maintain his dark and brooding kafabe and only ended up sounding smug and self interested.
@@xerinuspax6843 Here's the thing. Mr. Incredible didn't do that. It's clear that Mr. Incredible knew Buddy before the incident, well enough to know his name. Then Buddy constantly intervenes in an active crime scene nearly getting himself and others killed. Buddy remembers Mr. Incredible being dark and mean with his dismissal, but that's not how it plays out in the actual opening. Bob wasn't smug and disinterested, he was actively restraining a terrorist armed with dozens of high powered explosives. But when you see the scene from Buddy's point of view Bomb Voyage isn't there and Mr. Incredible is speaking directly to Buddy. The actual scene has Mr. Incredible barely paying attention to the random kid. And he only gets the police involved when Buddy accidentally causes a train derailment due to the bomb on him and forces Mr. Incredible to let Bomb Voyage get away. And even then the police are only taking him to his mother.
It would be one thing to pretend to be a Hero but Buddy got in the way letting the villain escape and was so cocky that he didn’t know there was a Bomb on his Cape. Mr. Incredible risked his life to save Buddy resulting in a bridge being destroyed.
A major issue with that is how popular of a hero he is, and how he feels a need to help with any incident he sees or hears about, paired with Buddy's admittance of how much of a fan boy he was, meaning he probably saw him at plenty of public events, as I assume public events and merchandise sales would have been where Bob got the money for his car. It was made clear in the opening of interviews that Bob saw it as cleaning up a mess somewhere that he just cleaned or fixed something.A problem with popularity is that when it gets so much you can't truly focus on individuals with a deeper than surface level of interaction that would keep that down. The big difference between say Syndrome and a more recent case of hero worship in say Izuku and All-Might was that unlike Syndrome as a younger Buddy who didn't pay attention to what was going on around them as much as trying to impress his usefulness to Mr. Incredible during their second interaction of the day, Izuku saw that none of the present heroes were moving to help. On the day Buddy decides he is going to force himself into the roll of sidekick. Then Buddy inserts himself into an incident with a literal professional villain who knew that Mr. Incredible was too much for him to escape as he didn't even do anything until buddy got close enough to play the role of distraction as it would be against everything a hero is for to let` a kid die just so they catch the villain. I would also like to point out, that there were already police aplenty around the building Mr. Incredible was in as well as paramedics, both of which were likely to immediately move into the building as they had been watching and trying to stop a suicide jump.
I love these from the villain perspective videos. This is the kind of stuff for certain people who might wish that "henchman wanted" was a legit job posting.
0:26, 8:46, 10:59, What's really interesting about this film is it's use of supers, as in specifically super-powered beings, as metaphors for talented people pressured to conform to not risk disturbing normal people, yet in any other context, Buddy's technological mastery could have lent to a story about the virtue of difference and perseverance in a world that's decided there's only one way to be special ("well not every superhero has powers, you CAN be super without them"). Instead, supers despite their influence and varying degrees of moral integrity (5:23, Bob is mostly portrayed as a glory seeker with generous inclinations than some paragon of virtue or responsibility) or even competence (not only have various supers accidentally died, but they've also caused enough collateral damage to motivate the public to have their "hero work" outlawed), are almost exclusively treated victims of societal abandonment, while Buddy is a fraud and a leech that tries to seek glory like Bob, but with none of his generosity or desire to help others. Compare this to something like Watchmen, The Boys or Invincible, which have similar set ups of more in-depth looks at what it would be like to live in a world where costumed vigilantes, paranormal phenomena and super-beings are a part of history, only those kinds of series tend to conflate their equivalents to supers, powered or otherwise, as having more explicitly regarded detrimental effects on their worlds because their advanced capabilities and paranormal attributes don't come built in with virtue and instead amplify the range of their personality and character to affect the world around them in both beneficial and detrimental ways.
Speaking as someone who works in creative industries, game development, I can also point out that you have to be aware how many delusional narcissists work in these fields. I had a boss who thought he was Mr Incredible when in reality he was Syndrome, but he kept creating stories about big tough guys because that's what he thought he was. Alot of these stories are written be delusional narcissists with a total disconnect from reality.
Interestingly, when we see how Syndrome remembered the "fly home, Buddy" scene, Bomb Voyage is completely absent and Mr. Incredible is just a jerk for no reason. So Syndrome really was this self-righteous and narcissistic.
Mr. Incredible didn't reject Buddy because he wanted to be his sidekick. He rejected him because he's a kid without any superpowers (Well one theory states that he has super intellect, i mean the guy built a tractor beam with 60s technology AND made it compact enough to fit it in a glove), and if he died under his watch because, say, a supervillain planted a bomb on his cape? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Bob did the right thing here rejecting him. I'm sure if he'd proven himself on his own terms, he could have done his own thing, or could have become Incrediboy if he'd waited another few years) but being someone's sidekick at that age? Yeah, no. I get why Mr. Incredible said no to that one.
thats crazy. i found your channel like an hour ago off the ratatouille video, got up to eat, came back, seen your channel on my many tabs. i firefox refreshes the page and here i am. early to channel i just found! liked, subbed, and im gonna watch it in 0.8% speed to give you 20% more watchtime!
Glow or no glow? let me know, down below... I managed to edit this entire thing and completely forgot about the glow... Oops. Anyway, I figured that Bob Ross was right, we don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents and with that I figured we can see if people like it with or without the glow. So what do you prefer?
I find syndrome so ironic. Dudes like ‘PEOPLE SHOULDNT BE BORN SPECIAL’ but then ignores how he was born special. Nobody else has the ability to make these inventions. Syndromes super power was his intelligence. He wanted everyone to be equal but only wanted to give up his power when ‘he had his fun’.
I just realized, syndrome has the rarest gene combination in humans. Red hair and blue eyes is crazy uncommon. Look it up! I wonder if they did that on purpose.
Syndrome's story alternate version: News reporter: So Buddy, what inspired you to invent everything we use today? Buddy: You're gonna love this one, when I was a kid, my dream was to become Mr. Incredible's sidekick if you could believe that. I knew his moves, his catchphrases, read his comics, everything! I was his number 1 fan! Heh, but then one fateful day, I design a costume and sneak into the Incredimobile, dumb decision I know, and waited for him to get inside. I was so excited only for him to reject me, so later that night, I tried again with my rocket boots. I mean you mean, when I set my mind to something, it gets done. Him and Bomb Voyage were talking and I introduced myself. Reporter: What was your ...uhh "Super name?" Buddy: Incrediboy! Reporter: Incrediboy? Buddy: .....I was 10 at the time. Well anyway, so I got rejected again and to rub it my face even further, Mr. Incredible jumps on me and disrupts my flight pattern before falling off into the night. That night, I learned a valuable lesson, that you can't count on anyone especially your heroes or at least that's what I would've learned if my mom hadn't come in. She saw me down in the dumps and told me what she believed real heroism was about. She said "Being a hero isn't wearing tights and fighting colorful characters, but being true to yourself and making a commitment to make the lives of everyone around you better." And when I heard that, it was like those lightbulb moments in cartoons, it just dawned on me, I still had a desire to help people but I also that I didn't need a costume to do it. So that's what inspired me to become an inventor, it was born of desire to make life bearable for everyone. You can call it "Hero Syndrome" if you want, but that's what I set out to do.
Haha I love it. Picturing syndrome at lockheed martin is really funny. It’s awesome to see more context added to syndromes background in this video even if it’s just speculation.
"...to give the insurance company an AI system that would automatically deny claims without any human intervention whatsoever... no actually that's probably a bit too evil." Are we living on the wrong side of the wall in Imagination Land? The death of Harambe tore a rift in space time and bridged our reality with the evil part of Imagination Land, didn't it?
0:24 please don’t because Hollywood will make a villain sympathy movie about him and make him some thirst trap for women…. Sometimes a bad guy is just that, a bad guy😅
Syndrome put all his effort into proving skill and intelligence was more important than being born with powers...and was beaten by a super powered infant.
I worked in game development in Poland for two years. My Boss was RIDICOUSLY lazy, incompetent and stubborn. He completely destroyed my self-esteem and work ethic all because he thought he was cool, badass and a rebel and didn't need anyone else to help him (despite constantly screwing up and needing other people to bail him out). But he successfully convinced everyone around him I was the problem. I will never be able to watch the Incredibles the same way again, because it makes me wonder how many of these stories are written by people like my lead who see themselves like Mr Incredible when they are like Syndrome and anyone trying to help like buddy when the people trying to help them are more competent. I straight up had to teach new hires how to use our tools because my boss was so woefully incompetent he nearly broke a build of the game trying to do work. Narcissism is an epidemic.
@FraserWakefield-kr2kt wow... First of all I'm really sorry for what happened to you. I didn't work in such job but I've met some sociopathic people too and I can also relate to burn-out and crushed confidence. I've been dealing with such feelings and depression for over two years now. Not from work but from art school I went to. Now when I'm out and supposed to become a confident and capable adult with career, I really struggle to even believe I'm worth any success. This world does not deserve kind and empathetic people.. Tbh it sometimes seems to me like creative people, artists just don't fit into this money grabbing and selfish society. At least I personaly can't. That's why I cut people of and only talk to people I choose. But don't let such manipulative toxic people destroy your life. Go to thetapy if you have to, build your confidence and self-esteem slowly again and learn to never accept such behaviour again.. None job, money nor name is worth your mental health and loosing a job is much lesser lose than loosing yourself and your drive/passion/will to live and create. I understand you won't ever see it the same and it also proves how deep this movie actually is. It was written and done by people, by experience, with soul. Wish you only best in future bud! Don't let it stop you, I knoe anxiety and past can really s*ck. Take care
syndrome’s problem was that he somehow never matured enough to realise if mr incredible hadn’t sent him home, he would have probably died young superheroing. also, as if his exceptional engineering talent isn’t at least partly born with him. there’s no amount of effort can get a pre pubescent boy to make jet boots without natural talent.
"Created an AI that automatically denies insurance claims without amy human input". Got a little real there. Wonder whatever happened to the CEO who implemented that
The funny thing is, Syndrome's whole shtick about it not being fair that certain genetics giving people an unfair advantage, falls apart when you realize it was his genetics specifically that gave him the intelligence to build technology to have powers on par with people who were born with those powers.
I was literally thinking about this channel last night. A video on "The Secret to My Success" from the uncle's perspective would be absolutely hilarious.
The reason he went for the baby, was because he knew none of them were home, and clearly both of their kids had powers, so if he could mentor a superhuman, he could do tests; maybe learn a way to make any power he wants.
Okay but Syndrome having Mr. incredible’s child as a sidekick would be such sweet irony for Buddy. It was an itch he didn’t know needed scratching until the opportunity presented itself. “You won’t make me your sidekick? Okay, I’ll make your kid my sidekick. I’ll make sure he hates you and then he’ll kick your ass one day.” If it had worked that would have ruined the Incredible family, Bob especially. Not the most thought out, but kind of genius if it had been thought out.
Please, do Beatlejuice next! Hear me out: -Beetlejuice is sentenced to a millennium in limbo unless he marries a living person. -The Mildreds die, becoming ghosts in their own house. -Lydia's family moves into the Mildreds' house. -The Mildreds want to kick out Lydia's family and hire Beetlejuice. -The Mildreds think Beetlejuice is too violent and fire him. -Lydia's family (and Otto) hold a seance but it goes wrong and the Mildreds are disintegrated. -Lydia asks Beetlejuice to save them. He offers to help her in exchange for her marrying him. -Lydia ACCEPTS and Beetlejuice COMPLIES, kicking out Otto and saving the Mildreds. -Lydia doesn't want to marry him and gets the Mildreds to kill him with a worm from Mars. HOW IS LYDIA THE GOOD ONE AND BEETLEJUICE THE BAD ONE?!
He felt slighted yes, but once he realized he could get MEGA wealthy selling his inventions, he went full villain instead of just retiring a rich man. Or going the Batman route and use tech to be a hero. After getting a billion dollars I'm not caring about ANYTHING some guy at an insurance company is worried about. Bro tracked bob to his life as a regular guy post-glory days and paid him to get him alone with a robot just to fail😂. Could've just stayed rich and chilled.
Did syndrome own insuricare? I always just thought that mirage infiltrated the company to give the secret invitation to Mr incredible like a spy would. I mean so much of the movie plays out just like a classic spy thriller.
Here's something even more idiotic. The man has those beams that freeze super heroes and lets him just swing them around without a problem. So when he stupidly goes to kidnap a baby of two super heroes, who you KNOW has off spring that also have powers, what does he think to do? "I'mma just hold that baby with my hands."
I hate the idea that fhe can't use his speed to win, if he had no powers he would probably still win a race. The fact he can't use just enough to beat them is wild. Let him get a scholarship
@ oh yeah true. That’s like that girl from that episode of archer that’s from a kgb sleeper agent family and is encouraged to blend so she becomes a big Hollywood actress
"Something so powerful it would make chatgpt look like a toy" is kind of a strange thing to say when ChatGPT is literally just a probability based word matcher that can't operate without slave labour and a single use of which wastes more energy than a full human would need to survive a whole year
I never realized that the bomb on his cape is another reason Edna is right, syndrome never learned. (I saw it in the end when he died but only bc she already said it)
I feel like Syndrome might even have been a Super with his superpower being his intelligence. Like the rocket shoes he made as like a 12 year old seems more advanced than the technology the rest of the world had by the time the rest of the movie takes place. And by the time he is in like his mid twenties or something, he is seemingly several decades ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to technology. I don't think a single person, no matter how hard they work, would be able to advance technology that much so quickly without being smart to the point of calling it a superpower. Of course it is just a movie and the writers might not have thought about it like that, but I don't feel like it is a stretch to call his intelligence a superpower.
Really the villain was the government for outlawing superhero’s. This allowed buddy to prey on super hero’s need to save people and thus nearly committed genocide amongst all superheroes. All because the government didn’t want to cover the cost of them nor provide a way for them to continue working and helping people.
"How did that guy not die?" My good man, you greatly overestimate the strength and quality of American built walls, especially office walls lol. Shit is made out of cardboard
Just discovered your videos this week and have been loving them - idk if you do television series but I would love a “Gravity Falls from Bill Ciphers perspective is hilarious” video
Honestly, given Buddy invented rocket boots as a KID, I have a hard time believing that he isn't ALREADY a super- with a power of Super-Intelligence. Which makes his axe-grinding rather ironic...
"to get the kinks out of your robot" that's an interesting thing to call Mr Incredible
Holy... Thank you, this has cracked me up
New pin, sorry old pin, but just to be clear, this was completely unintended

This guy has the exact same problem Lex Luthor has. He focused all of his time and energy on revenge against the super that he feels slighted by. Had he actually used his brilliance and finances to help people, he could have made the world a vastly better place AND made the supers irrelevant at the same time. Instead, he goes full villain and brings the supers back into the good graces of society, the exact opposite of your original goal.

That's what White Knight Joker did he turned and made Gotham so good that they didn't need Batman no more
Syndrome waisted his potential becoming a villain he could have been an Iron-Man
Instead he became an Iron Deficiency Man
wasted*
You, on the other hand, shouldn't waste your potential and ought to become a reading-man, start with a dictionary!
Buddy could've been the Iron Man of the Incredibles universe, but he ends up becoming like Superior Ironman with Lex Luthor complex.
You're absolutely right he completely squandered his potential.
13:19. Syndrome acted like a superhero for only 1 minute & he made 3 major mistakes:
1) He threw the truck behind him without caring if it would crush anyone or explode.
2) He started celebrating that he damaged the robot despite the fact it wasn't defeated yet.
3) Once the robot attacked him he fled in the direction of the civilians he was trying to save.
It's no wonder that after The Incredibles & Frozone defeated the robot later nobody seemed to remember Syndrome or care that he was missing.
also he wore a cape.
He was the embodiment of what the public feared from supers. Someone with godlike powers that's so focused on looking like a hero that they don't care about collateral damage.
@@xerinuspax6843, Strangely enough, the fact that so many charges were levied against the super community implies there were other less than ideal supers operating as heroes that warranted being outlawed (unless you only count a reading of the film that society's oppressive push to force supers to conform to their standards as more of a sinister ploy for control).
This idea is left unaddressed in the franchise as of now, the idea of bad supers, just like Buddy's implication that not all supers are powered and some are gadget wielders like him.
Doesn't Mr. Incredible call out the issue with his robot almost immediately - as in it was absolutely going to go rogue.
@@leeverguy , He guessed that the reason he was being sent after the Omnidroid in the fake mission set up by Syndrome to combat test his designs that it'd become sentient and rebellious, but the truth was it was indeed still following it's orders, only later, Syndrome mishandled the Omnidroid by ordering it to fight him so he could defeat it with his remote.....only it fought for real because that was it's orders and it carried them out to perfection.

Mirage: "You know, I _tried_ to tell him that 'Syndrome' was a terrible superhero name, but he just wouldn't listen."
I think the issue with Syndrome is that he overstepped the Parasocial lines.
Yes he was a wide eyed kid but, he was a stalker.
I think the one thing he never truly understood was that Mr. Incredible actually saved him from a bomb, I think from his perspective Mr. Incredible was just trying to take him down. It really is a big unfortunate tragedy. But I think it's fair to say that Syndrome was intelligent but mentally unstable
Syndrome only wants to play the hero.
Great power, something something, great responsibility
Is this a Simpsons and Spider-Man reference? 😂 good job. 👍
Y'know, if he hadn't had panicked, he could have just used his zero point energy whatever to stop the rotors. I mean, the jet was already crashing.

on Syndrome's end? It's been a *really* long day, cut him some slack, lol.
Well to be fair everything he built and planned for how many decades crashed and burned in like a day, I see him not thinking straight after that.
I'd chalk that up to panicking more than anything else. As smart as he was, he wasn't a fighter and had clearly lost it by that point.
Mr. Incredible vs healthcare CEO. Peak imitates peak.
Also AI claim denial is funny. I love real life.
Syndrome died from having his cape snagged by the plane engine shows that not all heroes wear capes, but some of them got killed because of it. As Edna Mode said this best, _"NO CAPES!"_
Only with this video I learned, that the No Capes warning was there at the beginning with the bomb attached to Incrediboy

So, an interesting fact about the insurance company that bob worked for. People have analyzed the papers on the CEO's desk, and found that there is an employee notice stating that employees are now required to provide their own supplies, pens, staples, paper, etc.
Paychecks also paid for electric bills for the company building so uh... ahead of its time
I kind of forgot how odd it is that Syndrome goes from a really well thought out villain to cartoonishly evil in the last 5-ish minutes. Your telling me, this incredibly smart evil inventor that planned this entire thing out for 20 years, secretly kills dozens of super heroes for it, and only failed because he made his robot too smart, just decides plan B is to kidnap a baby?
He was probably so over confident that he never considered the robot could fail and just panicked
I mean, it is a revenge thing, these kind of villians (like Lex Luthor) are so egonistic that they want to watch their enemy suffer, hence why he kept locking up Bob instead of killing him: He wanted him to view his genius. After his plan fails, he probably didnt have a plan B, so he went to their house to ambush them, but found Jack Jack and thought of a way to screw over the family that ruined his dreams
I would argue that this is a chance to have the last laugh. "Oh, well, you're gonna destroy my robot that cost a gazillion dollars like it's another tuesday?! Well, F#%K your baby!".
Reminds me of this botched Bank Robbery i heard of. Super smart guy that's robbed a dozen or so banks, has one mess up and quickly falls into panic.
Or consider. Concussion
Up to this point, almost everything went according to plan. Or at least he didn't have to make any new plans to fix it.
That made him complacent.
Once his original plan was fully out the window, it was a new experience. He didn't know how to handle it.
Much like a nepo-baby who folds as soon as there's a real challenge.
Developing the AI system to deny insurance claims is way too evil for a kids movie. Standing up and fighting an insurance company that did that would be a truly heroic act.

I've always had a personal fan theory that Buddy was actually a super all along but he was super intelligent and a reality manipulator like Franklin and Valeria Richards combined.
I was excited when I saw someone talk about how they thought maybe his parents were supers and some of his first targets.
Something, something, Prince of Egypt
Honestly it's a pretty cool theory and I do subscribe to it but by his actions I don't think he knows he's super so it'd feel weird saying that from his perspective
@Nomsynho oh, him not knowing is a key part.
In this theory mirage is literally that.
interesting
@@Nomsynho in Jungian terms she would be his anima made manifest either via his reality manipulation powers or as an AI he may not even be aware he built.

Now that I think of it ,Disney's Hercules from Hades perspective would be really funny. But I still think the the wet bandits from home alone 1 and 2 would be a fun holiday video

Great idea, hope to see that in the future.
2:40. While it's never said on-screen, the film takes place in an alternate 1960s United States where they have modern day technology like computers, drones, & A.I. (or at least the 2004 equivalent versions of them).
It's not _said_ exactly, but it can be inferred from the dates on the newspapers.
Takes place in the 90s from what i remember with their hayday being the 60s
@@jamm6_514 No, their heyday was in the 40s. The movie takes place starting in May 1962 according to the newspaper Bob is reading early in the movie.
Why would you spell hayday wrong when its already written in front of you. @@Krixwell
Probably due to the hero’s their tech advanced probably a bit faster
7:01. There's a fan theory that when Syndrome started out on his revenge plan, he went to Edna to have her make him a super suit, & since she missed those days she probably was alright with making him a suit. However, she included the cape with his super suit because she sensed he wanted it for bad reasons, & she likely thought it could backfire on him like it did for other Supers.
God bless Edna she's cool as fuck
For me, the primary reason I think we never feel like Syndrome is someone "fighting against the genetic elites" is because being a superhero is never displayed as a particularly easy or lucrative job.
The best thing they get out of it is fame, but it's not like they can do much with that without blowing their secret identity.
That’s why The Boys is such a good concept of a comic book and show
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth , Barring the idea that their anonymity theoretically allows them do all kinds of ludicrous things and go back to pretending to be normal people whenever they want.
Bob is specifically portrayed as being obsessed with his glory days and Gazerbeam is characterized as maladjusting to civilian life, the major reason present for this is that being forced to be normal all the time when they aren't is suffocating for some supers who want to express their full potential as supers, as beings that aren't normal but take pride in not being normal because they view their paranormal attributes as making them special.
So while it's not portrayed as easy, the adventure and glory of being an active hero for these supers is romanticized by them, not just because they were famous, but because they got to be themselves in full.
This creates issues because only supers, as in powered beings in this franchise, are treated as "special" and anything else as an imitation of it, as Syndrome imitates heroes for fame, so there is an argument to be made that a story analyzing how only certain attributes are regarded as special while others are demonized, a relevant idea for both superhero fiction and in real life, as well as even things like mythology (take for example certain culture's worship of physical strength and condemnation of magic as dishonorable or "unmanly"), but an idea that wasn't and probably won't ever be explored in this franchise.
Also the thing is it's never stated Mr. Incredible rejected him because he was powerless ... it was because he was a kid in rocket boots and nothing more. Mr.Incredible wasn't even interested in a side kick in general.
it's not like he rejected syndrome and then immediately picked up some clumsy kid with a useless power but still accepted him because he technically had a power.
Yeah, all the government did for supers were just cheap motels and job changes. Even that is slowly being taken away in the first and 2nd movie.
Its like they always forget how costly the damages the supervillains did to highrise buildings, insurances, and infrastructures in comparison to a job change and ID forgery. The Incredibles stopped Syndrome and his Omnidroid, but their production pipeline, rockets, volcanic island, and private military contractors are still active even if they operates under Mirage.
Its not until heroes take private firm jobs they can afford luxury lives despite their service to humanity. If only we could explore the government and private equity criticism further.
@@metazoxan2 From Bob perspective , syndrome was first and foremost, a child. A child who wanted to follow you on your very dangerous job, if one thing went south, their was a good chance the best think he would be able to do for him, would be to get his body and give him a nice funeral. Sure,he should have sat down with him and explained it, instead of being so cold. Maybe find his parents or guardians or something.
But he just wanted to make sure he gets it and stays away.
Also we see the scene when he told him he would work alone twice, one time from bob one time from syndromes perspective , and it was a lot harsher from syndromes.
After watching so many of Nomsy’s “movie from the villain/opposite prospective” videos, I’ve come to understand that they are not Hilarious at all, and in fact are only tragic and disturbing.
Fuck it this is getting a pin because low key... it's true.
1:57 this scene is shown a second time from syndrome’s perspective, he only remembers Mr Incredible telling him he works alone, and nothing about bomb voyage or his part in the downfall of heroes.
I am really enjoying Jack Sparrow's new career explaining movies
And all without a drop of rum.
Funnily enough, syndrome had a quirk. He was ridiculously smart. Inhumanly smart.
1:48 I honestly feel like since he is able to do this he probably is a super just got super intelligence not any other kind of flashy power.
12:48 I was not ready for the first "marginalised" quality listed for Syndrome being that he's ginger 🤣🤣🤣
the saddest part is, syndrome very well could have been a super and not have realized it since mind based powers are so incredibly rare in the incredibles universe. the intelligence to make rocket boots at 8 years old is inhuman level of smart
The intelligence to make rocket boots that _don't blow your legs off_ is (borderline) insane at any age, really 😅
I've always thought Syndrome is tragic. Yeah Mr Incredible is right that the kid is reckless, but he could have like made him a proper sidekick and teach the proper way, or find councelor, or not be rude about it. Buddy wouldn't have grown into a serial killer if he saw not all supers are smug about their talents and have lives of their own.
Unfortunately, Mr. Incredible couldn't see past Buddy being a kid, without powers, and decided that it would be too dangerous to take him on as a sidekick, since he was taking on some of the most dangerous people humanity could produce. Which wasn't a bad thing. But his mistake, instead of talking to Buddy and explaining why he wouldn't take him on, he tried to maintain his dark and brooding kafabe and only ended up sounding smug and self interested.
@@xerinuspax6843 Here's the thing. Mr. Incredible didn't do that. It's clear that Mr. Incredible knew Buddy before the incident, well enough to know his name. Then Buddy constantly intervenes in an active crime scene nearly getting himself and others killed. Buddy remembers Mr. Incredible being dark and mean with his dismissal, but that's not how it plays out in the actual opening. Bob wasn't smug and disinterested, he was actively restraining a terrorist armed with dozens of high powered explosives. But when you see the scene from Buddy's point of view Bomb Voyage isn't there and Mr. Incredible is speaking directly to Buddy. The actual scene has Mr. Incredible barely paying attention to the random kid. And he only gets the police involved when Buddy accidentally causes a train derailment due to the bomb on him and forces Mr. Incredible to let Bomb Voyage get away. And even then the police are only taking him to his mother.
Syndrome: "When I grow I wanna be a superhero that wears a cape!" Mother: "That's nice honey, now go to bed."
Megatron’s POV in the live action movies.
It would be one thing to pretend to be a Hero but Buddy got in the way letting the villain escape and was so cocky that he didn’t know there was a Bomb on his Cape.
Mr. Incredible risked his life to save Buddy resulting in a bridge being destroyed.
The ENTIRE plot of The Incredibles could have been avoided if Bob just sat down and had a heart to heart with Buddy.
A major issue with that is how popular of a hero he is, and how he feels a need to help with any incident he sees or hears about, paired with Buddy's admittance of how much of a fan boy he was, meaning he probably saw him at plenty of public events, as I assume public events and merchandise sales would have been where Bob got the money for his car. It was made clear in the opening of interviews that Bob saw it as cleaning up a mess somewhere that he just cleaned or fixed something.A problem with popularity is that when it gets so much you can't truly focus on individuals with a deeper than surface level of interaction that would keep that down.
The big difference between say Syndrome and a more recent case of hero worship in say Izuku and All-Might was that unlike Syndrome as a younger Buddy who didn't pay attention to what was going on around them as much as trying to impress his usefulness to Mr. Incredible during their second interaction of the day, Izuku saw that none of the present heroes were moving to help. On the day Buddy decides he is going to force himself into the roll of sidekick. Then Buddy inserts himself into an incident with a literal professional villain who knew that Mr. Incredible was too much for him to escape as he didn't even do anything until buddy got close enough to play the role of distraction as it would be against everything a hero is for to let` a kid die just so they catch the villain. I would also like to point out, that there were already police aplenty around the building Mr. Incredible was in as well as paramedics, both of which were likely to immediately move into the building as they had been watching and trying to stop a suicide jump.
The problem is that he wasn’t trying to level a playing field for the world, he was trying to level the playing field for himself.
That's what everyone do at their scale
0:20 not at all related to recent events
I agree I see nothing relevant here
I love these from the villain perspective videos. This is the kind of stuff for certain people who might wish that "henchman wanted" was a legit job posting.
0:26, 8:46, 10:59, What's really interesting about this film is it's use of supers, as in specifically super-powered beings, as metaphors for talented people pressured to conform to not risk disturbing normal people, yet in any other context, Buddy's technological mastery could have lent to a story about the virtue of difference and perseverance in a world that's decided there's only one way to be special ("well not every superhero has powers, you CAN be super without them").
Instead, supers despite their influence and varying degrees of moral integrity (5:23, Bob is mostly portrayed as a glory seeker with generous inclinations than some paragon of virtue or responsibility) or even competence (not only have various supers accidentally died, but they've also caused enough collateral damage to motivate the public to have their "hero work" outlawed), are almost exclusively treated victims of societal abandonment, while Buddy is a fraud and a leech that tries to seek glory like Bob, but with none of his generosity or desire to help others.
Compare this to something like Watchmen, The Boys or Invincible, which have similar set ups of more in-depth looks at what it would be like to live in a world where costumed vigilantes, paranormal phenomena and super-beings are a part of history, only those kinds of series tend to conflate their equivalents to supers, powered or otherwise, as having more explicitly regarded detrimental effects on their worlds because their advanced capabilities and paranormal attributes don't come built in with virtue and instead amplify the range of their personality and character to affect the world around them in both beneficial and detrimental ways.
Speaking as someone who works in creative industries, game development, I can also point out that you have to be aware how many delusional narcissists work in these fields. I had a boss who thought he was Mr Incredible when in reality he was Syndrome, but he kept creating stories about big tough guys because that's what he thought he was.
Alot of these stories are written be delusional narcissists with a total disconnect from reality.
Interestingly, when we see how Syndrome remembered the "fly home, Buddy" scene, Bomb Voyage is completely absent and Mr. Incredible is just a jerk for no reason. So Syndrome really was this self-righteous and narcissistic.
It's gotta be heartwarming to Buddy that his hero is still heroic enough to fuck up an insurance CEO.
The sad thing is, one could argue that Syndrome's advanced intelligence *is* a super power.
Good thing Buddy never went to Art School, if he did he’d hate way more than just Superheroes.
Failing art school had nothing to do with h man’s politics
Artsy types, amirite?

@ such a reddit comment
Mr. Incredible didn't reject Buddy because he wanted to be his sidekick. He rejected him because he's a kid without any superpowers (Well one theory states that he has super intellect, i mean the guy built a tractor beam with 60s technology AND made it compact enough to fit it in a glove), and if he died under his watch because, say, a supervillain planted a bomb on his cape? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Bob did the right thing here rejecting him. I'm sure if he'd proven himself on his own terms, he could have done his own thing, or could have become Incrediboy if he'd waited another few years) but being someone's sidekick at that age? Yeah, no. I get why Mr. Incredible said no to that one.

I find syndrome so ironic. Dudes like ‘PEOPLE SHOULDNT BE BORN SPECIAL’ but then ignores how he was born special.
Nobody else has the ability to make these inventions. Syndromes super power was his intelligence. He wanted everyone to be equal but only wanted to give up his power when ‘he had his fun’.

You were this close to losing your JUGH
I just realized, syndrome has the rarest gene combination in humans. Red hair and blue eyes is crazy uncommon. Look it up! I wonder if they did that on purpose.
Syndrome's story alternate version:
News reporter: So Buddy, what inspired you to invent everything we use today?
Buddy: You're gonna love this one, when I was a kid, my dream was to become Mr. Incredible's sidekick if you could believe that. I knew his moves, his catchphrases, read his comics, everything! I was his number 1 fan! Heh, but then one fateful day, I design a costume and sneak into the Incredimobile, dumb decision I know, and waited for him to get inside. I was so excited only for him to reject me, so later that night, I tried again with my rocket boots. I mean you mean, when I set my mind to something, it gets done. Him and Bomb Voyage were talking and I introduced myself.
Reporter: What was your ...uhh "Super name?"
Buddy: Incrediboy!
Reporter: Incrediboy?
Buddy: .....I was 10 at the time. Well anyway, so I got rejected again and to rub it my face even further, Mr. Incredible jumps on me and disrupts my flight pattern before falling off into the night. That night, I learned a valuable lesson, that you can't count on anyone especially your heroes or at least that's what I would've learned if my mom hadn't come in. She saw me down in the dumps and told me what she believed real heroism was about. She said "Being a hero isn't wearing tights and fighting colorful characters, but being true to yourself and making a commitment to make the lives of everyone around you better." And when I heard that, it was like those lightbulb moments in cartoons, it just dawned on me, I still had a desire to help people but I also that I didn't need a costume to do it. So that's what inspired me to become an inventor, it was born of desire to make life bearable for everyone. You can call it "Hero Syndrome" if you want, but that's what I set out to do.
OHHH right Syndrome is ginger, it all makes sense now
Syndrome was superpowered, he made all that tech it wasnt normal
Haha I love it. Picturing syndrome at lockheed martin is really funny. It’s awesome to see more context added to syndromes background in this video even if it’s just speculation.
I’m loving this series so far and props to you for keeping the uploads consistent! Keep going bro💪
"...to give the insurance company an AI system that would automatically deny claims without any human intervention whatsoever... no actually that's probably a bit too evil."
Are we living on the wrong side of the wall in Imagination Land? The death of Harambe tore a rift in space time and bridged our reality with the evil part of Imagination Land, didn't it?
1:15 That sounds awfully like the motives of Amon, or the French Revolution, or Karl Marx.
I think the fact that Buddy turned out to be a super genius in of itself makes him a super.

Syndrome put all his effort into proving skill and intelligence was more important than being born with powers...and was beaten by a super powered infant.
Syndrome is pretty relatable young boy. It basically crushed his heart but he then choose a wrong path.
I worked in game development in Poland for two years. My Boss was RIDICOUSLY lazy, incompetent and stubborn. He completely destroyed my self-esteem and work ethic all because he thought he was cool, badass and a rebel and didn't need anyone else to help him (despite constantly screwing up and needing other people to bail him out). But he successfully convinced everyone around him I was the problem.
I will never be able to watch the Incredibles the same way again, because it makes me wonder how many of these stories are written by people like my lead who see themselves like Mr Incredible when they are like Syndrome and anyone trying to help like buddy when the people trying to help them are more competent.
I straight up had to teach new hires how to use our tools because my boss was so woefully incompetent he nearly broke a build of the game trying to do work.
Narcissism is an epidemic.
@FraserWakefield-kr2kt wow... First of all I'm really sorry for what happened to you. I didn't work in such job but I've met some sociopathic people too and I can also relate to burn-out and crushed confidence. I've been dealing with such feelings and depression for over two years now. Not from work but from art school I went to. Now when I'm out and supposed to become a confident and capable adult with career, I really struggle to even believe I'm worth any success. This world does not deserve kind and empathetic people.. Tbh it sometimes seems to me like creative people, artists just don't fit into this money grabbing and selfish society. At least I personaly can't. That's why I cut people of and only talk to people I choose.
But don't let such manipulative toxic people destroy your life. Go to thetapy if you have to, build your confidence and self-esteem slowly again and learn to never accept such behaviour again.. None job, money nor name is worth your mental health and loosing a job is much lesser lose than loosing yourself and your drive/passion/will to live and create.
I understand you won't ever see it the same and it also proves how deep this movie actually is. It was written and done by people, by experience, with soul.
Wish you only best in future bud! Don't let it stop you, I knoe anxiety and past can really s*ck.
Take care
He's really trying hard to justify Syndrome's insanity lol
Omg i just realized the voice of Syndrome is the guy from My Name is Earl.
syndrome’s problem was that he somehow never matured enough to realise if mr incredible hadn’t sent him home, he would have probably died young superheroing.
also, as if his exceptional engineering talent isn’t at least partly born with him. there’s no amount of effort can get a pre pubescent boy to make jet boots without natural talent.
"Created an AI that automatically denies insurance claims without amy human input". Got a little real there. Wonder whatever happened to the CEO who implemented that
The issue isn't so much the act of wearing a cape, it's making your cape secured so much that it somehow won't tear if it gets caught in a jet engine.
The Fifth Element from Zorg's perspective.
The funny thing is, Syndrome's whole shtick about it not being fair that certain genetics giving people an unfair advantage, falls apart when you realize it was his genetics specifically that gave him the intelligence to build technology to have powers on par with people who were born with those powers.
I was literally thinking about this channel last night. A video on "The Secret to My Success" from the uncle's perspective would be absolutely hilarious.
You really had me going for the first 3 minutes haha
This is basically iron man… this is a version of iron man. Just if iron man was evil and not taken seriously and without his dad’s name for backing.
The reason he went for the baby, was because he knew none of them were home, and clearly both of their kids had powers, so if he could mentor a superhuman, he could do tests; maybe learn a way to make any power he wants.
Okay but Syndrome having Mr. incredible’s child as a sidekick would be such sweet irony for Buddy. It was an itch he didn’t know needed scratching until the opportunity presented itself. “You won’t make me your sidekick? Okay, I’ll make your kid my sidekick. I’ll make sure he hates you and then he’ll kick your ass one day.” If it had worked that would have ruined the Incredible family, Bob especially. Not the most thought out, but kind of genius if it had been thought out.
4:33 I was not expecting that social commentary. Well played. Really made me chuckle... and then sigh deeply.

HOW IS LYDIA THE GOOD ONE AND BEETLEJUICE THE BAD ONE?!
He felt slighted yes, but once he realized he could get MEGA wealthy selling his inventions, he went full villain instead of just retiring a rich man. Or going the Batman route and use tech to be a hero. After getting a billion dollars I'm not caring about ANYTHING some guy at an insurance company is worried about. Bro tracked bob to his life as a regular guy post-glory days and paid him to get him alone with a robot just to fail😂. Could've just stayed rich and chilled.
Did syndrome own insuricare? I always just thought that mirage infiltrated the company to give the secret invitation to Mr incredible like a spy would. I mean so much of the movie plays out just like a classic spy thriller.
Here's something even more idiotic.
The man has those beams that freeze super heroes and lets him just swing them around without a problem. So when he stupidly goes to kidnap a baby of two super heroes, who you KNOW has off spring that also have powers, what does he think to do?
"I'mma just hold that baby with my hands."
Even from the very beginning, his downfall was his cape >w
I really enjoyed that point of view, thankyou.
Hot Take: Syndrome was always a Super. His ability was above human intellect. They just never recognized it in time.
I hate the idea that fhe can't use his speed to win, if he had no powers he would probably still win a race. The fact he can't use just enough to beat them is wild. Let him get a scholarship
What are you on about
@goldenfiberwheat238 dash isn't allowed to use his powers in the beginning to win, he had to be below average like why even bother letting him join
@ oh yeah true. That’s like that girl from that episode of archer that’s from a kgb sleeper agent family and is encouraged to blend so she becomes a big Hollywood actress
I recently got your videos recommended. This premise is really original i like it. You have a fresh and unique style.
I think it's funnier that syndrome probably is a super himself and he just doesn't know it.
What kind of monster would use AI to decline people's insurance? Truly a super villains idea!
"Something so powerful it would make chatgpt look like a toy" is kind of a strange thing to say when ChatGPT is literally just a probability based word matcher that can't operate without slave labour and a single use of which wastes more energy than a full human would need to survive a whole year
I never realized that the bomb on his cape is another reason Edna is right, syndrome never learned. (I saw it in the end when he died but only bc she already said it)
"The build of a melted ice cream in the fridge."
You're killing me! 😅
happy to see ur channel has been popping off lately u seem like a chill dude
I feel like Syndrome might even have been a Super with his superpower being his intelligence. Like the rocket shoes he made as like a 12 year old seems more advanced than the technology the rest of the world had by the time the rest of the movie takes place. And by the time he is in like his mid twenties or something, he is seemingly several decades ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to technology. I don't think a single person, no matter how hard they work, would be able to advance technology that much so quickly without being smart to the point of calling it a superpower.
Of course it is just a movie and the writers might not have thought about it like that, but I don't feel like it is a stretch to call his intelligence a superpower.
Really the villain was the government for outlawing superhero’s. This allowed buddy to prey on super hero’s need to save people and thus nearly committed genocide amongst all superheroes. All because the government didn’t want to cover the cost of them nor provide a way for them to continue working and helping people.
Syndrome is basically Lex Luthor if he had hair. No joke, Luthor hates Superman because he too had a shitty incident with him as a kid.
"How did that guy not die?" My good man, you greatly overestimate the strength and quality of American built walls, especially office walls lol. Shit is made out of cardboard
Dont forget that during his time at Lockheed-Martin he also had a short stint helping out in HR at Boeing.
Just discovered your videos this week and have been loving them - idk if you do television series but I would love a “Gravity Falls from Bill Ciphers perspective is hilarious” video
Honestly, given Buddy invented rocket boots as a KID, I have a hard time believing that he isn't ALREADY a super- with a power of Super-Intelligence. Which makes his axe-grinding rather ironic...
Buddy is one of those characters that are a perfect example to explain the difference between intelligence and wisdom in rpgs
Buddy probably could have cured cancer and gone down as one of the greatest men in history. Instead he became a megalomanic intended on personal gain
He didn't want to cure cancer. He wanted to harass Mr. Incredible.
