Superheros and Objectivism

[jamesq]

From a discussion of an (alleged) Randian sub-text in The Incredibles:

There’s two scenes that the Objectivists use: the one with Dash grumbling over having to hide his super-speed (“Everybody’s special, Dash.” “Which is just another way of saying nobody is.”) and Syndrome’s attempts to eliminate super-powered humans entirely.

They work equally well as a demonstration (and warning) about immaturity. Dash is specifically shown as maybe nine, while Syndrome is an adult who hasn’t gotten over being nine yet.

It’s not surprising that Objectivists miss that point.

Just wanted to share it. Thanks BigHank53, for making the point.
