discourse time: the incredibles, the most popular neoreactionary film ever made?
@mutual_ayyde I think the usual take is that it's Objectivist?
@elfprince13 regular people don't deserve advanced tech that equalizes the world is far more classically fascist than objectivist
an objectivist incredibles would have syndrome bringing tech to people, have them take him for granted and then he'd fuck off and things would collapse
@mutual_ayyde There's a whole montage of him trying to help Mr. Incredible and getting dismissed/ignored.
Also - Tomorrowland is from the same director.
@elfprince13 well the OP is kind of a joke, inspired by birdsite discourse about how contemporary right wing art sucks
i havent seen tomorrowland but reading its plot summary on wikipedia it doesn't sound super objectivist - ayn rand didn't invent breakaway promeathean societies
@mutual_ayyde@mastodon I also haven't seen Tomorrowland, and I don't have any very strongly held opinions here, just relaying the very surface analysis I've seen others share.
the Randian undercurrent in Incredibles is actually not Syndrome, it's the whole supers being hated by society and having to go into hiding bit.
