Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

MODERATORS
The funny thing about the Incredibles movies (both of them) is that the villains were right. It's just too bad their methods were bad.
Syndrome's goal was egalitarianism and empowerment of everyone via technology.
The Screen Slaver wanted people to become more self-sufficient and fill their lives with experiences, instead of wasting them idolizing heroes on TV.
(The conspiracy theorist in me can't help but notice that Disney has a vested interest in discrediting those ideas, especially the latter.)
I think this is what makes for an interesting villain in general though across all media. That uncomfortable feeling of relating to them or seeing they have a point even though their actions are clearly reprehensible
