Explanation: A lot of Internet People say that The Incredibles is objectivist (Ayn Randās ideology) because the heroes fight against a revolutionary who wants to make everyone equal by giving people superpowers.
What they miss is that this ārevolutionaryā is a billionaire who made his fortune selling weapons to world governments under the table, and his only motivation for saying heād sell his weapons is to make money and spite his enemy. Thereās no reason to think he would follow through, and selling powers doesnāt mean everyone gets them. It means everyone with money gets them. Syndrome is proposing a world where rich people have super powers. Thatās just the plot of Vampire: The Masquerade.
Syndrome is co-opting leftist rhetoric to make himself look like a hero, while not actually understanding it, because heās not a leftist. Heās a capitalist billionaire. And the Internet People who think this movie is bad because it praises hypercapitalist ideologyā¦ fell for the capitalistās rhetoric.
Edna describes her work with supers as ādesigning for Godsā. Again, this feeds into the underlying subtext through the film that some people are innately better than others, and should not be constrained in the same way normal people are.
She then goes on to describe how many of her āgodsā were killed by their capes. The same thing that happened to Syndrome.
