Which uses up a personal action each turn so that we don't permanently loose an ally that we care about and have invested in because of a random roll.
No thanks.

Honestly even the good effect might cause some issues. Judge Doom randomly deciding to ally with us, or Toffee, or whatever, would have some significant implications.
Maybe a 1-turn effect? Something like:
Invert-inator (good): For one turn, a random hostile rival will be inexplicably friendly with Doof. They won't take any hostile actions against him this turn, and are open and available to collaborate this turn even without having reached out to them.
Invert-inator (bad): For one turn, one of Doof's hero units, chosen randomly, will be inexplicably hostile with Doof. They'll refuse to take any action this turn, and instead will (slightly) sabotage one of Doof's national actions, chosen randomly, giving it -5 to its roll.

Whoo! I'm glad you think so! The song just Spoke to me. I was absolutely not expecting that to go canon.
Aww, I was hoping for canon on this one.
Doof puts the "Doctor" in "Doofenshmirtz Evil incorporated!"
I'm scrolling back to try and remember these and.... I posted 3 omake in a row. I post these things as soon as I finish writing them, no spell check or anything, but.... How did I manage to write what amount to three short stories in a row fast enough that no one posted any replies in between!? Did the thread get locked to only me? or was I possessed by some sort of writing demon?
Anyway, Glad this one's helpful!
We can't even get him as a non-hero unit pet? Awwwwww..... I guess Oliver's just wandering the streets of NYC alone then.
Yeah, it's fun exploring them!
Hah! I remember this one! I think I wrote the title to troll readers a bit into assuming Major Monogram would be involved.
Yeah, was interesting to write at least.
Mean Girls is a really excellent Musical. I highly recommend it to all who can see it.

I mean.
Joy's not even an extremist, she's a child. She's a personification of the dominant emotional processing of a child in the process of maturation. One who has literally never in her life experienced a major, irreversible, stressful life change of any kind. It's normal.
>_<
Because she's a child growing up and you're making her out to be the seed of some... evil overlady or something. And yes, I'm talking about Joy, not Riley. Joy's no older and no more experienced than Riley is, and by definition she's more limited psychologically because she represents only part of Riley. A part that, because of Riley leading a relatively happy childhood, happens to be to a large extent in the driver's seat.
I feel like there's this weird... need... to turn Inside Out into something other than what it is. It is very much a villainless, victimless movie. There is no active intent to make anyone suffer. There isn't even anything especially bad happening in the external world. Joy herself isn't even doing anything particularly bad, not even "well-intentioned extremist" things, she's just following a situationally inappropriate procedure because she doesn't understand Sadness' role due to, again, inexperience and immaturity. The same could probably be said for Riley herself, because in a world where we don't have giant personified inner mental universes, it would be fairly accurate to say:
"Riley doesn't know how to process moving to a new place she's having trouble adjusting to, or how to adapt to having mixed emotions about how she loved her old home but misses it too, so she shuts down, shuts out the world around her, and in a fit of distress tries to run away and go back to Minnesota."
The plot of Inside Out is basically a personification of this process. Joy is not the villain. There is no villain. A story does not need a villain to function. There is no proto "she is totally almost a villain and it's worth dwelling on how there could be a dark timeline where she turns into one" character. There's no antagonist. There's just... a kid, being insufficiently grown up.
Which is why the movie's so powerful, because most of the problems and bad experiences in our lives aren't the result of some specific villain with a plot against us.
Having to tinker with our inators as a quasi-mandatory Personal Action every turn for fear of turning up one of the many many time bombs in the "bad inator" list is NOT going to be a good thing in the long run.
