Evelyn Deavor/The Screenslaver is the true main antagonist of Pixar's 20th feature film, mh:greatestmovies:Incredibles 2.

They were voiced by Catherine Keener for Evelyn Deavor and Bill Wise for unnamed pizza guy.

Why They Suck

 * 1) The main problem with the character is that the Screenslaver's identity of the one behind him is fairly obvious by just looking very closely at their name is just... pizza guy for no reason after Elastigirl unmask him during the chase scene, and we don't explained how.
 * 2) The name sounds very unoriginal, since Evelyn Deavor almost sounds more like "Evil Endeavor". If anything, her name should be replaced with better name.
 * 3) They have poor motivation and convoluted plan, which makes zero sense. Evelyn Deavor basically got mad at superheroes for saving people and making them feel safe. The idea of the motivation was already better executed with Lex Luthor and Tomura Shigaraki, so overall, the motivation is unoriginal and poorly executed.
 * 4) While the idea of a villain who hypnotise controls people via screens is interesting, it sadly went poorly executed villain, due to being the lackluster villain and compared to Syndrome that barely get any screen-time.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Catherine Keener does an great voice performance for Evelyn. Same can be also said for Bill Wise for unnamed pizza guy.
 * 2) The design of Evelyn Deavor and the Screenslaver are interesting.

Trivia

 * There are several hints about Evelyn's true nature before it is in fact revealed, including:
 * If one pronounces Evelyn's full name slightly differently, it sounds like "evil endeavor".
 * While Winston states their father would still be alive had supers been legal, Evelyn briefly says their father could have gotten to the safe room. It is implied they have argued on this repeatedly.
 * A few moments before her true nature is revealed, after Helen says that defeating the Screenslaver was easy, she replies "That was easy? Wow!", with the "wow" being said inside her wine glass, producing an echoing effect similar to the Screenslaver's computer voice.
 * Yet another interesting foreshadowing that she is the villain is her quote "Ah shucks, I'm just the genius behind the genius.".
 * In scenes where they are together, Winston is in the light, and Evelyn is in the shadow.
 * To prevent spoilers, the Screenslaver's voice was deeper in the trailers and promos for the movie.
 * The Pizza Planet truck was parked in an alley near the fake Screenslaver's hideout, indicating that the Pizza Man Evelyn abducted worked there. It was shown when Helen escaped and he landed on the ground, but before he was himself again.
 * In addition to the truck almost appearing in every Pixar film, even Evelyn commented "Eh, he was surly. And the pizza was cold.".
 * Evelyn was originally meant to have another brother named Nelson, who was intended to be the main villain, but the character was cut because the creators preferred to have a female villain.
 * Despite this, Nelson's design was kept and later reused for the superhero He-Lectrix.
 * Early into production, Evelyn was originally going to be an electric based supervillain named Shelectric. This idea was scrapped and instead turned into Evelyn. This allowed Nelson to be turned into He-Lectrix.
 * A very interesting subject worth noting is that in various LEGO sets, the Screenslaver is actually Winston instead of Evelyn. The reason appears to be unknown, but it was most likely a red herring for those who purchased it.
