She was asking for it!
Which superhero was using their x-ray vision to be a peeping tom?
Meta Man has x-ray vision but he's the Superman analogy...that got killed when his cape got snagged in an elevator shaft but in either case I don't see him being a peeping tom.
All I can find this is this shot.
Could you really be sued for preventing another person's suicide? Aren't their laws in place that technically make suicide "illegal"? And why didn't that dude just kill himself afterwards? Did he not REALLY want to die? Was he just an attention whore?

Americans can sue for everything or anything at all.
Isn't this covered under the Good Samaritan law?
Which doesn't stop a jury from telling you to go suck a dick.
If the movie actually does take place in an alternate 1960s then the good Samaritan law doesn't exist yet, it was enacted in 2000
you can get sued if you injured a person when trying to rescue them. The guy killing himself was put in a full bodycast
Those laws are recent and places like china have anti-good samaritan laws.
Probably only because it was a super that did it. is right, you can't get sue, is probable that they use the case to argue that super powered people shouldn't be allowed to do such since they are more dangerous and could use the "I was trying to save him" defense to assault normals.
Is it okay to rape someone who is about to die anyway?
I'm pretty sure good Samaritan laws started before 1999.
Its funny America isn't even the most litigious country. They're the 5th most but because American media is so popular worldwide people just assume they are. The list is Germany, Sweden, Israel, Austria, America.
Nice projecting
The Incredibles is a Randian fable at its core and contrary to popular believe, objectivism isn't radically opposed to altruism itself. An objectivist can help to others if he want to, what mean if he gets a gain, that can be even personal satisfaction from the act of helping. If an objectivist compromise his principles for helping others, that's where things get messy. Supers wanted to help for personal gratification, either for the sense of adventure, recognition or simply seek of purpose. Like Brad Bird didn't make the movie alone, someone helped him to find a way to stick to not compromise his principles but still make the audience to side with the supers and look at the normies as ungrateful and petty.
That's long been disproven. The message is actually that government oversight is necessary and that individuals need to let go of what makes them exceptional in order to fit into society.
user, maybe if the overall tone and actions of the movie run counter to the message, that's not the intended message at all?
Nobody with an ounce of credibility actually believes The Incredibles is representative of Ayn Rand philosophy. This is a meme opinion that was started and parroted by euphoric neckbeards who think "death of the author" means every interpretation of a work, no matter how asinine, is valid. Which is not the case.
