This is what ambulance chasers do and it's why they're universally looked down upon by everybody even among other lawyers. They look for distraught unstable people and coach, agitate, and gaslight them into filing lawsuits that would otherwise be stupid or pointless
IIRC no, but people were more than happy to jump on both that and the train incident to do just that.
I'm curious what happened to all the supervillains. I find it hard to believe they just all up and vanished when the hero ban went out.
I'm sure that works for guys like Bomb Voyage(great villain name btw). But I'd imagine there's some supervillains that normals struggle to deal with conventionally.
Actually, were there any villains they showed that had actual superpowers? Syndrome and Screenslaver just used tech bullshit, and even Underminer just had a giant fricking drilltank. I know there was the one hypnosis chick in the comics, but I'm not sure about the canon on those.
The comics had a couple. Violet had a friend that made sonic blasts and was roped into villainy by her dad.
Mezmerella brainwashed people... with her eyes... but it was apparently a super power. Xerek was immortal but hard to call that a power when it doesn't actively repulse conventional arms.
Well in syndrome’s case he just started selling weapons to the government and various other governments so the glowies probably coordinated with the supervillains to keep them in check whole diminishing the supers so they couldn’t subvert their power. No one would want to be ruled by super villains but would super heroes so the government had to make them look bad and not use their powers to still be relevant. That’s how I see it anyway.
My headcanon is some supers with flexible ethics got recruited by the glowies, and were doing covert shit for the government, Comedian style. So they were just straight up assassinating villains behind the scenes during the years the heros were gone. Syndrome got away with his shit because he had big military contracts.
>I'm curious what happened to all the supervillains
Tell me this, do you think it was a coincidence that Bomb Voyage was robbing the very same building Sansweet was jumping off?
Whole thing was a setup.
I still believe the only reason his case didn't get laughed out of court was because of the train accident that happened almost immediately afterwards, the bad press Mr Incredible got from that is probably the only reason it actually succeeded
>I'm curious what happened to all the supervillains. I find it hard to believe they just all up and vanished when the hero ban went out.
officially what happened is after the supers were forced into retirement the US government pulled off the kid gloves* and went full lethal force against the super villains till they were all either dead, in jail, retired, or had fricked off to other countries
*which considering most supers were more than willing to kill(and indeed quite a few of them were very bloodthirsty) is really saying something
>IIRC no
You didnt RC as it's implied more than once in the movie that the U.S. government doesn't like people with superpowers. Considering the time the movie takes place this is in-character, since how is a group like the CIA going to reliably wrangle in someone like Gamma Jack?
Hell, the entire reason suicide is technically a crime now is because people would try to commit suicide, get stopped police, then sue the police for damaging their property(that they didn't care about due to the whole suicide thing)
It's like every bad thingin the world ia caused by tgis ahit. Why aren't people feeding the homeless with excess food that geta uneatened? Lawsuits. Why is suicide criminilised? Lawsuits. Why does every tutorial treat you like a 5 year old drooling at the side of your mouth in vjdeogames? Lawsuits.
That last one is false, games hold you hand because devs are desperate for good reviews from fricktarded uppity game journos who don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground and will cry foul when they need to use their brains
Fair enough. That was hyperbole. Should have mentioned how EVERY food have labels about how they may or may not contain nuts, INCLUDING bags of nuts, because of lawsuits.

That's good, though. Food ingredients should be even MORE transparent, IMO. No "natural flavours" as an ingredient; tell me exactly what is in my food.

Throwing yourself off a building is a crime though, you might not realize it thanks to being suicidal but your body can hurt or kill someone when it's falling from a large height.
There is someone right now suing fricking Taco Bell over not getting enough shit in the wrap they ordered. People will sue anyone over anything, the legal system is constantly going through the stupidest cases you can imagine. What you described isn't an unlikely scenario. Doesn't mean that these people will win, but the courts still have to waste time on them day after day.
>There is someone right now suing fricking Taco Bell over not getting enough shit in the wrap they ordered.
Corporate bootlicker detected. Yes, Black personcattle, corpos should be forced to actually sell their products as advertised. No, Black personcattle, you will not recieve your $0.02 good boy points for this shitpost
It's one of those things when you give people the freedom to do stuff like that. At some point a frivolous lawsuit is actually worth it. There are ways to have cases thrown out if it's that bad but if there's enough of a reason for it to go trial then it will. Or it will get sent to some smaller court that can handle it fast.
>Ready to die >Some hulk lookin butthole "saved" me and now I'm on permanent suicide watch with court ordered therapy and worse the injuries are putting me on the road to oxy addiction because the pain never goes away
The Incredibles is a world where the Good Samaritan law doesn’t exist, if it did the court would have immediately thrown out the case and Mr. Sansweet would be dubbed a homosexual and most likely get committed.
This doesn't even make sense because of shit like good Samaritan laws.
it's like suing someone for breaking one of your ribs while doing chest compressions
That one's a bit moot because if you aren't risking rib fractures, you aren't doing chest compressions properly. This was even drilled into us at CPR training.
Wonder what the public would think about a superhero who genuinely saves people but then makes it known he cranks it to them when they're naked from space using supervision?
This lawsuit always confused the hell out of me. Has that happened before? Has someone successfully sued a good samaritan for saving them from a suicide attempt?
I think there is some vid where they go over this scenario. Basically Mr. Incredible should have been fine and the only one who could have potentially gotten in trouble was the X Ray vision guy depending on how his power worked
fricker was probably doing it for attention
Obviously. It's the flashiest suicide after blowing yourself up. You don't do it to die, you do it because you want people to notice you.
He literally jumped to certain death and had np idea Mr Incredible was nearby. With no intervention mid-fricking-fall he would have died.
I'm not saying he didn't plan to die, I'm saying he wanted to die for the attention.
Mr incredible got israeliteed hard
Just like in real life. If someone wants to kill themselves just let them.
>t. Canadian
Quints confirm
This. The virtue signaling is annoying as frick, just tell me what the quickest most painless method is so I can die in peace
>Just like in real life
In real life suicides are arrested, dumbass.
Nobody said assisted moron.
No. You live in a living man's world, and alivechads WILL force you to rehabilitate and you WILL enjoy life again.
I can't argue against Canadian Quints. You win this round, maplemen.
WHOA
Leafs are cucked either way
Yes because when a superhero looks up and sees someone falling from a building the first thing they think is that they don't want to be saved
hi there cucknadian. How's your wife's boyfriend doing?
This movie is probably the most adult movie Pixar had done at the time. Brad Bird is pretty much an edgelord
It was the most adult CGI film since Antz, released 6 years before. Antz also had the word "suicide" like this scene did.
Heck initial drafts had even more marriage strife
I bet Disney paid a lot of money to the MPAA to not give it a PG-13.
This is what ambulance chasers do and it's why they're universally looked down upon by everybody even among other lawyers. They look for distraught unstable people and coach, agitate, and gaslight them into filing lawsuits that would otherwise be stupid or pointless
genuinely frick that guy
Frick him and frick that israelite behind him
I haven't seen this movie in age. Wasn't it all staged to to have an excuse to ban supes or something?
IIRC no, but people were more than happy to jump on both that and the train incident to do just that.
I'm curious what happened to all the supervillains. I find it hard to believe they just all up and vanished when the hero ban went out.
Well you see, it's a lot less fun when you're getting bombarded by the military vs some guy in undies punching you around a bit.
I'm sure that works for guys like Bomb Voyage(great villain name btw). But I'd imagine there's some supervillains that normals struggle to deal with conventionally.

Anon, who do you think were pushing for outlawing superheroes?
Dumbest shit ever. Imagine someone doing this to a hospital.
people have done this to hospitals, though. You severely underestimate just how petty and narcissistic people can be..

THE FRICK?!
Suicide isn't a crime in most places. You don't need to criminalize something to allow cops to help someone in danger
Hurling things off a tall building is a crime. Even if that thing is you.
Throwing yourself off a building is a crime though, you might not realize it thanks to being suicidal but your body can hurt or kill someone when it's falling from a large height.
What's the legal punishment for suicide where it's illegal?
Death
Well then. They have nothing to lose!
There is someone right now suing fricking Taco Bell over not getting enough shit in the wrap they ordered. People will sue anyone over anything, the legal system is constantly going through the stupidest cases you can imagine. What you described isn't an unlikely scenario. Doesn't mean that these people will win, but the courts still have to waste time on them day after day.
Reminds me when Subway got sued because their footlong subs weren't exactly a foot long.
Then don't call it a footlong you dipshit
>There is someone right now suing fricking Taco Bell over not getting enough shit in the wrap they ordered.
Corporate bootlicker detected. Yes, Black personcattle, corpos should be forced to actually sell their products as advertised. No, Black personcattle, you will not recieve your $0.02 good boy points for this shitpost
Is that really what you interpreted from that guys post?

And now there's also the Mr. Beast case.
advertisements should reflect the products being sold
Anon, they DO
>Ready to die
>Some hulk lookin butthole "saved" me and now I'm on permanent suicide watch with court ordered therapy and worse the injuries are putting me on the road to oxy addiction because the pain never goes away
Jumpers are sick attention-seeking pieces of shit that can easily kill or traumatize others
They deserve the worst
Maybe next time don't throw yourself off a fricking building.
just do it in private moron
This confused me as a kid, is it based off something? Was there a time when you could sue someone for helping you?
The Incredibles is a world where the Good Samaritan law doesn’t exist, if it did the court would have immediately thrown out the case and Mr. Sansweet would be dubbed a homosexual and most likely get committed.
Reminder that Brad Bird is a Randroid. Dude probably reads Mr. A comic strips when he gets up every morning.
o say can you see!
This doesn't even make sense because of shit like good Samaritan laws.

That one's a bit moot because if you aren't risking rib fractures, you aren't doing chest compressions properly. This was even drilled into us at CPR training.
Good Samaritan laws didn't exist yet in universe. The prologue takes places in 1947 and Good Samaritan laws were created in the 70s.
Wait how fricking old is Bob?
The real lesson to be learned here is that the right to sue shouldn't exist.
Superbros... they caught us
Wonder what the public would think about a superhero who genuinely saves people but then makes it known he cranks it to them when they're naked from space using supervision?
/b/ with Superpowers. My god.
>I.M Normal
It's a terrible pun but I'll give it a pass because it did make me smile a little bit.
He saw an opportunity to sue him and he took it
Isn't this what Good Samaritan laws exist for?
This lawsuit always confused the hell out of me. Has that happened before? Has someone successfully sued a good samaritan for saving them from a suicide attempt?
