Another great episode of BTAS following up "Heart of Ice"! While it might not reach the absolute heights of HoI, I still thoroughly enjoyed this one. Even as a "kid's show," BTAS constantly sneaks in those subtle, mature themes that just hit perfectly.

Drop your thoughts below and enjoy the ride!

‘See No Evil’, to me, is an extremely underrated episode and an easy s-tier. Being a child of separated parents myself, the plot of the episode and Ventris himself hit me a lot deeper than a lot of other episodes of the show. Yes, Lloyd was not a good man, and , yes, he was a thief, none of that is excused. However, at the end of the day, he was an angry, stubborn man who’s sole want was to see and be with his daughter, who’s brain was made sick by the very thing he thought could help him achieve said goal and so he became irrational and even more dangerous. Even still, I can understand Ventris, because it reminds me of my own father. Not the criminality or the anger or anything of the sort (my father is a fine man), but the want, the NEED to see your children and be with them, yet being barred from doing so for various reasons, and the lengths a parent might go to to do so, toxic plastic or not. So, ‘See No Evil’ is one of my favorite BTAS episodes, period, even if it may not objectively be a top ten episode. Lloyd Ventris/The Invisible Man/“Mojo” is an original character, only partially inspired by a Silver Age villain with a similar real name, and I think the writers knocked it out of the park with him.

I'm also a child of divorced parents, but I was adopted by my step father at 8. I agree. He should have been able to see his daughter despite being an ex-con. Supervised visits would have been fine.

One of my all-time favorite movies is "The Invisible Man" (1933) starring Claude Rains. In it, the main character, Jack Griffin, invents a serum that turns him invisible, but also damages his brain, turning him into a murderous psychopath. This episode obviously drew inspiration from that movie, and that's why I love it. Side note: The girl who voiced Kimmy, Elizabeth Moss, grew up to become an actress. In 2020, she starred in a movie called "The Invisible Man", in which she plays a woman trying to escape a deranged invisible stalker. While I see your point on parents having a right to be in their children's lives, I also agree with Serum Lake's opinion on Ventrix. Yes, wanting to be loved by your child is perfectly understandable. But the problem with Lloyd is that he didn't want to change himself to be worthy of love. He wanted to take the easy way and buy Kimmy's love. His desire for love comes from a place of arrogance, he thinks he deserves it solely on the principle that she is his daughter. If it really mattered to him, he would've made more of an effort to change his ways and become someone worthy of her love. but he didn't. He doesn't want to change because he is lazy, shallow and just as toxic as the plastic that was killing him.

Floyd Ventrix, the Mirror Man.

Thats fair. I still believe he had a right to see his daughter before all of this invisible stuff he pulled. The mother made the choice to keep him away because he was a thief. I personally don't believe that's a good enough reason. Now though? 100% justified. Is the Kevin Bacon movie a remake of the 1933 movie?

JD Dumas

The court wouldn't have issued a restraining order against him if his criminal record was the only issue. I wouldn't call "Hollow Man" a remake. It was more likely just inspired by the same book that the 1933 movie is based on.

Anriku

Thats fair. I forgot about the restraining order. Still believe supervised visits could have happened but hey, idk all the details.

Thank you, couldn’t remember. Didn’t he use actual mirrors though? 😂

JD Dumas

I don't remember. The only thing I remember about him is that he looked like Hugo Strange's ugly half-brother.
