Yeah, the "let's become an angry smashy dance mob" thing was pretty hard to buy, especially given that even on the secret footage where she reveals she's EvilDeveloper's daughter, she's basically saying "Let's use my secret connections to stop all my father's evil," rather than "Muahaha, we have deceived your dance…
