History Headscratchers / Igor

** 1. A random works upon the key principle that you can take out the target any time you please if demands aren’t met. Doomsday weapons are very good at eliminating whole countries, so banding together to try and stop an intercontinental weapon from firing would probably not end well. 2. No, because giving them a weapon to retaliate would result in a Cold War, and as ours demonstrated, a nation that cannot stand on its own during one is doomed to cave in to pressure.

** And who’s to say Malarians didn’t sell weapons and other such things on the black market? They just don’t sell the real doomsday devices.

** [[spoiler: We saw that: she'll mooch some transformation-pills and pose as a non-hunchback.]]
** Other than [[spoiler: Jackie and her pills]], they'd probably go to work for female mad scientists.

** A ShoutOut to ''TheFly'', naturally. Buzz is a [[RetiredBadass mad scientist who, after his terrible lab accident, went into the private sector]]. You'll note his human head rather resembles Vincent Price from the original film.

** Other than [[spoiler: Jackie and her pills]], they'd probably go to work for female made scientists.

** Lampshaded by Malbert, who mentions that while lots of {{MadScientist}}s have ''mutated'' life, none of them have ''created'' life whole cloth.

** Actually, I think, legally, they'd be known as "Igor" but they could have other names

** Even if Malaria isn't going to remain evil, it still needs a head of state. Schadenfreude is a celebrity, and thought he could trade on his fame to waltz into the throne room before anyone thought to question his motives.

** The doomsday devices are scary and massive, and Igor said in the opening that the inventions are the kind that kill you, bring you back to life, and kill you again way worse. Even armed forces would be wary of that.

* Am I the only one confused by the fact that Malbert's idea for a mad science-based economy is to basically hold the world ransom with various doomsday devices? A) What's keeping the other nations of the world from marshalling their armed forces and declaring war on Malaria, and B) Wouldn't make more sense to sell said doomsday machines on the black market?

** Same thing with Carl and the Invisible Man.

* How did the man fly and the fly men from the Brain Wash come to be, and why is Carl Crystal invisible? It's unlikely even storm clouds can do that.

** Igor mentions that such a creation wouldn't need to be directed by its maker, but could be set loose to destroy things on its own. Artificial intelligence may not be advanced enough for a robot to do that yet. And the inventions' ''demonstration'' required them to be "mindless killing machines" because nobody's come up with one that could be '''more''' than that until Igor did.

** Furthermore, why is inventing life so important if they're just going to be used as mindless killing machines? Can't a robot be used for that?

* How was Eva the first time someone has created life? During the climax of the film we see that at least two other scientists have created living inventions, like the giant plant monster or the ball of slime, so clearly Eva was not the first example of life.

* What if you had a hunchbacked baby girl?
