Parents, beware.

Some of the studioses making animated kid flicks these days

seem bent on brainwashing your children into believing

that every bad guy has a good guy inside him

just straining to break free.

Now take the recent film Megamind.

It's protagonist found that world domination

was emotionally unsatisfying and he went full superhero

but the biggest promoter of this contemptible

moral relevancy is the CG franchise Despicable Me.

In the first installment involved big nose evil doer

with a Russian accent abandons his plans to control

the universe when he's transformed

by the love of orphans and cotton candy.

That's all it takes?

Maybe James Bond should of bought his nemesis Blofeld

tickets to Six Flags instead of, you know,

sabotaging his rocket facility.

In the new sequel, Despicable Me 2,

this same not so super villain joins the anti-villain league

to help them take down one of his own kind.

At best, this is moral relativity that will lull

our children into a false sense of security but I think

there's something far more nefarious going on here.

Think about it.

What better way for a super villain to take over the world

than by tricking a generation into believing

that he really has a heart of gold.

I'm not some sort of obsessive conspiracy theorist

but have you ever noticed that we never see Victor Van Doom

and Jeffrey Katzenberg in the same room together?

Is it really that farfetched to think that

all Hollywood movie execs are secretly super villains?

Regardless, I think we can all agree

that whoever signed off on Green Lantern

is clearly been on the ruination of mankind.

Even if they don't have a secret underground volcano layer.

There, I said it, now it's your turn.

(classical music)

What do you think about the way Hollywood

has gone soft on super villains?

Do you think it's really possible to rehabilitate baddies?
