Film Theory: Can You SUE a Superhero? (Disney Pixar's The Incredibles)

I love how the lamp in the "Pixar" intro literally murders the "i" and then just stares at you like "you're next"

I just love how a beloved children's film starts with attempted suicide and law suits

MatPat's true super power is researching and being smart. Who needs super strength when you can blow people's minds away with unseen cannibalism?!

I literally heard “can you sue supers out of existance“ and thought: KAREN??

Matpat: you can SUE the government FBI: how do we get this video off youtube

Mr incredible: "I saved your life!" Plaintiff: "You didnt save my life, you ruined my death" Mr incredible: "Oh let me help you out with that" Mr Incredibles fist through plantiff stomach "Cant sue me he wanted to die"

The most scarring part of this whole thing to me is the fact that Mr. Sansweet's suicide attempt has A SPOTLIGHT WATCHING HIM!!!! WHY ON GODS GREAT EARTH WOULD ANYONE DO THAT

Last year, I was suffering from heat exhaustion in a McDonald’s. I was throwing up in the trash can and verbally crying for help. Out of everyone in that crowded and busy restaurant, only one person did anything. Other people stared, but nobody other than that one person so much as asked if I was ok. That person was an employee that stepped away from her position and called me an ambulance. One moment I was terrified, throwing up, in a cold sweat, and begging for anyone to help me and the next thing I knew, the good employee was rubbing my back and a few paramedics were asking me questions about what could have caused my current state. Either the other witnesses thought that they’d get in trouble for helping me or they just didn’t care. If that employee hadn’t done anything, I likely would’ve tried to walk home since that’s how I got there in the first place. Since what I had would’ve lead to a heat stroke if I hadn’t cooled off and walking home would’ve meant walking a couple of blocks in the Arizona summer heat, I probably wouldn’t have made it home. That one employee, the only one that lifted a finger to help me, saved my life. I told her manager what she did so that he knew that, though she did walk away from her position during a very busy dinner rush, she did so to help someone and, in the end, save someone’s life.

Pat: I'm so impressed what Pixar did with this movies timeline. Pixar: Ya we totally ment that.

Mr. Incredible: "I saved your life!" Plaintiff: "You didn't save my life, you ruined my death!"

Me after I hear America Law System: My time has come

MatPat is literally a super. He is like the jack of all trades. Good Lawyer: Check Psychology teacher: Check Science enthusiast: Check Great physicist: Check Big brain Mathematician: Check Solving mysteries: Check Amazing theorist: CHECK What does this guy not have?

As a french canadian, who was trained in CPR, we were clearly informed that whenever in the States, we see someone in distress, we're better off not helping, because we may be sued by saved citizen..... Glad to know some States have an actual intellect and voted for Good Samaritan Law, now if only we knew which States !

The beginning is really interesting, the “people passing by when someone is in danger.” I live in Belgium and I take psychology, a while ago we took lessons about a concept. I’ll start with a news story. A man suddenly had a heart attack in the street, he was alive, but very close to death. 8 (I believe) people past, some even stopping to look. Not one helped. Out teacher gave us an example, if you were alone walking in a park, broad daylight, suddenly you see someone drowning, do you help them? Most people said yes. What if it was a crowded park? People often think: “someone else will.” I know extremely depressing, hella interesting psychology.

This is actually one of the best Matpat videos ever. When people criticize him for jumping to conclusions too much these days, remember how he used to actually have solid cases like this.

Me at 3 am right before finals Also me finding this video “Yeah I got time...”

Has anyone ever thought if a supervillain could be sued?

i always wanted to have violet’s power ever since i was a kid

6:17. Anyone else notice that the entire jury in the background is made up of injured people, presumably people injured as a result of the actions of superheroes? Wouldn’t that give the case against the superheroes in question grounds for dismissal? I mean a trial by jury is supposed to have the jury randomly selected, and I personally find it to be highly suspicious that a randomly selected jury would consist almost entirely of persons injured presumably as a result of the actions of superheroes.

I was actually watching Star Wars memes before I watched this lol
