it really does have the energy of "our drama teacher went on a 2-week cruise, unexpectedly fell in love, and the last we heard of him was a vague postcard from prague 3mo ago wishing us luck in the end-of-term show, so I guess we'll...burn down the theatre? WHY NOT"

the edgy goth/scene kid/theatre kid energy of the ghosts and the scorpions is truly off the charts

the show's actual villain has at least figured out that minions need OVERSIGHT, even if it takes the form of skeevily stroking their cheeks. wkz just took his favourite adopted little sister on a roadtrip and left the rest of them to fall into chaos. BAD SUPERVILLAIN TECHNIQUE.

On the other hand, he's not even really angry that they're rebelling, is he? wkz: Oh, CG's finally enacting the plan, huh? Cool, cool. Best of luck to him. Honestly, if I worked for me, I'd probably do the same.

there's no greeting card for "hi kids! uh quick change of plans: instead of ruining society and dancing on the embers of its remains, I now want to retire to a peaceful valley and have furniture-destroying sex with my soulmate. sorry about the inconvenience, xoxo."

I mean, what we're really learning from this show is that when a supervillain is redeemed, the true victims are his artfully selected cabal of homicidal henchmen.

ok but to be fair, they were more his bloodily inherited cabal of homicidal henchmen than his hand-picked crew, and the show starts with one of them striking out on his own in betrayal, so wkx's great plan of unleashing their chaos was always "leaving them unsupervised".

It's a fair cop. And, you know, wkx was basically a vengeance-obsessed nihilist, so that scans. "Self-destructive" seems to have been #2 on the man's list of life goals, right below "destroy everyone else"
