Talk:Evelyn Deavor/@comment-38462834-20190208192207

Personally, I really enjoyed both the first and second Incredibles (and their villains). This is just my opinion and I invite (civil) disagreement, but I want to try and clear up some of the confusion over her backstory. From my perspective, Evelyn does not appear to be specifically angry with the two heroes that did not answer her father's call. She appears more angry at the unwanted side effects of having superheroes around. In her view, her dad should have gone to the safe room with her mother; also in her view, if her dad hadn't been so used to calling the heroes when in trouble, he would have utilized the safe room and lived.

The rest of this is my speculation, but I think it makes sense (to her, anyway). In her mind, she wants to eliminate dependence on supers so that the average Joe is less likely to rely on them in a situation where relying on supers would fail (like her dad's case). This would, in her mind, potentially save lives. In action, she takes extreme measures involving the death of others, a flaw which undermines any life-saving that would come from her plan... but this extremism is what makes her a villain. She believes this sort of violence is required to secure the ideal that she wants to see played out.

Definitely some speculation, but that's my two cents on it. I thank the creators of the movies; I loved both of them.

Cheers,
