SydneyHOST
Wow.
SydneyHOST
Or Syndrome.
CarterHOST
And people were like, Syndrome's here? Finally.
CarterHOST
Right.
CarterHOST
Right.
CarterHOST
But that's the thing, also.
CarterHOST
It's like the double-sided coin of the quarterback with too many abilities, where you're like, man, it's weird Josh didn't run at all that game.
CarterHOST
Is he okay? Is his leg bothering him? Where you're like, man, why haven't they done anything with Syndrome? Why haven't they done anything with this guy? Why haven't they done anything with Sid yet?

Coming up next,

JimmyHOST
Happy birthday.

I
Ramani DurvasulaHOST
But I think there are always some interesting gems in those damned Pixar films, which I had to watch for years.
Ramani DurvasulaHOST
At one point, there's a sort of sad character in The Incredibles named Syndrome, and he says something to the general effect of, if everyone is special, then no one is.
Ramani DurvasulaHOST
And it was interesting, Syndrome, the character, had some of the feel of a vulnerable narcissist.
Ramani DurvasulaHOST
He wanted to be a superhero, so I think he tried to make some special boots or something like that to have superpowers, but the actual superheroes had inborn superpowers and he was forever resentful of not being seen for his superness and the privileges the super people had and he just got more and more angry and kind of made a mess out of everything with his sort of quiet rage.
Ramani DurvasulaHOST
The line stuck with me, if everyone's special then no one is, because obviously one from a sort of happy rainbow place could argue, or joyful unicorn place, could argue that everyone is special and unique.
JasonHOST
Versus Syndrome from The Incredibles 2004.
JasonHOST
Once an enthusiastic fan of Mr.
JasonHOST
Incredible, Buddy Pine becomes the villainous Syndrome after feeling rejected by his childhood hero.
JasonHOST
Armed with advanced technology, he plots to eliminate superheroes and manufacture his own heroic reputation.
JasonHOST
You sly dog.
RobertHOST
Yeah, it's really weird that you can just do that.
RobertHOST
No, it's the power that Syndrome had in The Incredibles.
CharlieHOST
Yeah, but is this her gem weapon? Because it's not coming from her teardrop.
CharlieHOST
So is this a manufactured gem weapon, I should say, versus a regular old summoned weapon is what I feel like it is.
Tom OpfermanHOST
Just off the list, probably Batman, right? His entire persona is based on vengeance after his parents' death.
Tom OpfermanHOST
Syndrome from The Incredibles.
Tom OpfermanHOST
He just wanted to be a sidekick.

Ramani DurvasulaHOST
stuck with me if everyone's special then no one is because obviously one from a sort of happy rainbow place could argue or joyful unicorn place could argue that everyone is special and unique but perhaps maybe the true anti narcissist line is even if everyone is in their own way special everyone should be treated the same and subjected to the rules in the same way Now the core of entitlement, and going one step further, entitlement is one of the cores of narcissism, is that someone believes that they are special.
