It's a cool setup I don't know if they'll ever finish the arc, but as it reads right now, this show is written as a *prequel* to the situation in classic Carmen Sandiego She's going to neutralize each of VILE's council members one by one until none are left, then take over

Yeah that's why I said I don't know if they'll finish the arc this way because it's kinda dark, it implies she eventually gets corrupted

But I mean in the real, original Carmen Sandiego it actually did say that VILE started off as petty profiteers, and then Carmen took over and forced a higher purpose on them

Hence the heists all being these complex works of art intended to make a point, rather than having any practical value The 90s Where on Earth cartoon even specifically said Carmen was the world's greatest detective who had a chance to end VILE and then changed her mind

She had come to resent ACME's goal of bringing a crime-free utopia to the world and went rogue instead, turning VILE into this revolutionary prankster operation to show the world there's some things that can never be kept under lock and key

You can really see how the new show's canon is a distorted mirror of all this

It gives some context to the ACME-VILE-Carmen triangle

It is, to your point, surprisingly dark Comes close to an ACAB message, which is kind of shocking for a Carmen Sandiego cartoon
