YMMV / Spy Kids: Armageddon

• Magnificent Bastard: Rey "The King" Kingston is a brilliant tech mogul and the creator of the popular video game Hyskor, who is hellbent on reforming the world. Rey was the son of Vargos, a supervillain defeated by Terrence Tango and Nora Torrez. After Vargos’ death, Rey followed in his footsteps by becoming a Well-Intentioned Extremist just like his father. In order to obtain the Armageddon Code, which will give him control over all the world’s technology, Rey sets a trap to find out which agent has the code so he can steal it, leading to him partially taking over the world. He locks people out of their homes and forces them to play his game and change for the better to gain access to the technology they use in their daily lives. Rey then captures Terrence and Nora and, learning that the code has been split and that their children have the other half, tricks Terrence into revealing the code’s secrets to him by using AR to impersonate Nora. When Toby and Patty try to recover the code, Rey devises a plan to have them successfully arm it for him instead. Defeated after coming within a hair’s breadth of victory, Rey sees the error of his ways and accepts the family’s decision to be made to play his own game from inside, thanking them for showing mercy and resolving to inspire the world to improve itself upon his escape.
