I mean, how is that any different than, say, Hego? We didn't take the perform supervillainy action way back when because people were pandering to the good guys.
And we could easily have them perform supervillainy or something. We know the wacky shit they like, we just haven't put them on anything like that.
And if you wanna fire them after this is all over, fine. But at the end of the day we'd be firing them for them doing what we asked of them, which is in general just a really disingenious and shitty thing to do.
Edit:
The irony is palpable.
Here is the main problem with your argument.
Yes, we ordered them to do Mad Science, but it is quite clear from Doof's (and to a lesser extent the reader's) reactions, that this was not what we meant.
If you order someone to clean up a hedge, and they set it on fire and burn it to the ground, then they technically cleaned up the hedge.
However, that isn't what ordered them to do, and as such, it is entirely within your right to fire them.
We ordered them to do Mad Science, and you know what, had they decided to unleash their science on Doom's terf or Shere Khan's terf, or Glomgold's terf, that would have been fine.
But at the end of the day, they attacked the people of the Tri-State Area, and that is an unacceptable action. Discounting the OWACA or Monogram, or even LOVEMUFFIN itself.
This was an attack on Our Territory, and as the ruler of the Tri-State Area, it is our responsibility to keep the peace in our territory, that is what we have been doing for the whole of the thread up to this point.
If this was Hego or Monogram, or Even Janna I would be standing on this some position. You attack Doofania you get arrested. We might hire you later, like we did with Liz, but we arrested her too.
