Pay Attention | In which I thwart Adam.

In which I thwart Adam.

Me: a problem with Buffy season six--if Warren could build sophisticated robots, why wasn't he just making legitimate millions?
Stephen: Or freeze rays. I feel like this is a common issue with super-villains.
Me: This is true. But all the other Buffy villains were supernatural and operated in those worlds.
Me: Or, like the Mayor, had actually achieved material success.
Stephen: I think he's in the Lex Luthor mold- a legitimate genius motivated by obsession to kill the hero.
Me: One way of looking at it I suppose. Though the obsession seems to come later in the season.
Me: After he's already decided to go down this not as profitable as it could be path.
Stephen: maybe there's a deleted scene that explains his descent into crime is really a critique of patent law.
Me: curses, you win again.
Stephen: And thus Adam turned to super-villainy.
