OPINION WITH SPOILER ALERT

I know this villain was kind of obvious but when I first saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be her brother and not her (Mainly because I didn't know it was her). I feel like there were subtle hints that make it less painful. I think her motivation is her anger from the loss of both of her parents because her father put so much trust in the supers that he didn't think of the safe room like her mother suggested and her mother died of a broken heart soon after. Her brother's dream represents that foolish ignorance, childish naivety, and blind faith that her father had in the supers that made her lose not only him but her poor broken-hearted mother. Her brother makes things easy for others while she works her fingers to the bone and works hard but isn't appreciated by others (But I'm sure her brother does, even if he doesn't say it enough). I can understand her reasons and motivation. Plus, she wasn't going to leave her brother to die. She just wanted to open up his eyes to what she considered reality, not to kill him. Her motivations were driven by the loss of her family and didn't want any harm to come to the only family she had left. I felt her reveal was decently done and she had a lot of charm to her.

Unlike villain reveals with characters like Hans (I like the movie but this reveal can't be forgiven), she kept her personality throughout the film. The only difference is that when she was revealed to be Screenslaver was that she acted like a villain. She had her same beliefs but went more extreme with them. She carried herself with so much class, sophistication, and witty nature. I felt like a lot of this likability came from her voice actress just giving it her all to make this character seem charismatic and entertaining. Like how she had so much sass during the plane scene and fighting a drowsy Helen.

While she isn't as memorable as Syndrome, I do think her reasons were more understandable than Syndrome's, who was just a whiny fanboy that got mad because Bob didn't let him be his sidekick. Syndrome almost got killed when he tried to help and caused Bomb Voyage to get away and it's not even known if he was ever caught because of how supers were made illegal but that won't stop criminals like him because they have no respect for the law. Sure, Bob could've been nicer about all of this instead of ejecting him out of his car and saying "Fly home, Buddy! I work alone!" but Buddy couldn't force him to let him be his sidekick. No means no and some people prefer to work alone. His motivation is basically like if a fan of Hugh Jackman wasn't made Hugh's best friend with personal contact info or if their tweet in Twitter wasn't responded by Hugh and they decided to kill him and several other celebrities. He became evil, murdered supers that never did anything to him, tried to murder Bob, didn't care that he just killed Bob's wife and children (or thought he did), unleashed a dangerous robot onto innocent people, and tried to kidnap a baby just because of something so ridiculous.

While Syndrome is still a cool villain, his motivation is really weak and this is coming from someone who is a HUGE fan of Maleficent. However, with Maleficent, she was The Mistress of All Evil that loved to cause suffering and looked for any reason she could to inflict it, even something as small as not getting invited to a party for newly born princess, which I doubt she was interested in even attending if she was invited. Evelyn, while nowhere near as memorable as Syndrome, is still a good villain that had charm and understandable motivations. Because of blind faith in supers, which was basically what she considered an easy way out for people to avoid doing something themselves, she lose her parents. The only family she had left was her brother that kept on reminding her of that childish naivety and foolishness that made her lose her family. She talked like a lawyer or a used cars sales person. She had so much charisma in my personal opinion. Plus, they've FINALLY did a female Pixar villain! She's not one of the great Disney villains but Pixar villains have always been one of the weakest aspects of Pixar movies (That and romantic relationship). As far as Pixar villains go, she's one of the few good ones in my opinion.
