      Yeah it's not like actually equitably distributing these deadly weapons to the entire population of the world would be a great thing to do either But he's pretty obviously not doing that

      Like I think the haters of this movie are pushing too hard when they say Syndrome is an egalitarian populist, he's not, he's a plutocratic tyrant who wants to destabilize the world for his own benefit CIA-style

      "See? Now you respect me, because I'm a threat. That's the way it works. Turns out there are lots of people, whole countries, that want respect, and will pay through the nose to get it. How do you think I got rich? "

      (If the goal is to get "respect" in the form of terrorizing other people with military strength then obviously the new world he creates will still have strong vs. weak in it, rather than some silly idealistic libertarian fantasy of an Armed and Polite Society)

      I guess that's kind of the whole attempt at an Objectivist ethos here, Bird doesn't really imagine a world without power, or a world where power is truly leveled, just a stable world where power is held by its rightful stewards vs. violent chaos where power is up for grabs

      (To get all snooty for a second, "Syndrome" is kind of a generic supervillain name, sure, but what the word actually means is a "consistent set of symptoms with an unknown cause", a disease that's been identified but not explained)

      (Syndrome is Bird's analysis of the "sickness" of the world's relationship with power, of how capitalism and politics function irl; it's like if Buddy Pine himself didn't exist, someone like him would've appeared eventually, because this is who has power in the real world)

      (And the Incredibles is him having this same reactionary attitude that JRR Tolkien did about "true nobility" and a "true king", this fantasy of a genuine aristocracy that is noble in spirit as well as in body)

      Honestly I never saw the Incredibles as aristocratic, considering Bob has a white collar job and a mundane suburban house, where as Buddy has the money for a private island and the R&D budget for his devices.

      Right, the ideal of a "True King" is a humble king Syndrome isn't a "true superhero", just an ordinary guy with the powers of one, so he completely doesn't get why secret identities are a thing and why it's against the code to directly profit from your abilities

          He's too focused on the style of heroism rather than the substance. He'd be one of those people complaining that the X-men or Wonder Woman are too political.
