Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny (EarthMC Minecraft Server Nations)
Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny (EarthMC Minecraft Server Nations) is a 2022 Semi-Educational EarthMC Meme written, directed, edited, and created by American Youtuber Dabs_All_Ovar. The video consists of The Incredibles' titular character, Mr. Incredible reacting to EarthMC nations' flags and histories. As the video goes on, and the nations' decriptions become more creepy, his reactions become more uncanny.Template:VideoTemplate
Plot
The video begins with an initial disclaimer enlightening those who don't know what EarthMC is, it reads "What is EarthMC? EarthMC is a geopolitical Minecraft Server where you can form towns, establish nations, and conquer the world!*** Naturally, EarthMC's roleplay and communication options along with Minecraft's relative anonymity means that some very uncanny things have happened on EarthMC, so let us venture forth and face the bizarre & creepy!".
After the first disclaimer, a second shorter disclaimer is shown that also reads "Disclaimer: This is just a haha le funny meme. Don't feel upset if your nation made the list. It's nothing personal, it's just business".
Once both disclaimers are out of the way, the video begins. Mr. Incredible begins to make expressions, as he marks the nation of Britain with his casual expression. The details for Britain read "The oldest nation on all of EarthMC, and the leader of the British Commonwealth, which includes nations from almost every continent. Britain is both respected and despised by many."
The second nation shown is Acadia, which is acquainted by a slightly more disturbed expression by Mr. Incredible. The details for Acadia read "one of the largest nations on EarthMC, and an influential figure in the Maritime East Coast Alliance. Acadia follows the religion of Pissism, a religion where followers are required to place “Pee-Pees” in order to be granted protection by “The Ball God”."
The third nation mentioned is Japan, which is followed by the prototypical Mr. Incredible Uncanny expression. The details for Japan read "one of the first nations to be established on EarthMC. Japan has had a rocky history, much like its real-life counterpart, and is infamous for having a total of 4 civil wars in its history, the most for a single nation on the server."
The fourth nation we see is USA which has had many iterations over the years. Mr. Incredible is seen making a very uncharacteristic facial expression, akin to gluing a police sketch over his own face. The details for the USA read "The USA is historically disliked by many in North America time and time again as players often seek to create the United States with the goal of uniting or claiming the whole region the United States makes up, which is already settled by many nations. Many of these nations have banded together to disassemble many iterations of the states. The United States has been created over 5 times, the most of any single nation, creating much distress for the nations and alliances around it."
The fifth nation we are shown is Turkish_Republic, to which Mr. Incredible sinks his eyes deep into his skull, out of sight. The details for the Turkish Republic read "A nation settled by large swaths of Turkish users after the Turkish Youtuber Doğukan Adal [Tvo] made a video on the server, causing his massive audience to all join the server. Many users dislike the turks as they flooded the Queue and prevented players from getting in."
The sixth nation spotted is Grasberg, also known as Oniyama or Oniya. Mr. Incredible once again dons his especially creepy police sketch mask, this time with the eyes holed out. The details for Grasberg/Oniyama read "Grasberg, Also known as Oniyama, similarly to the Turkish Republic, Oniyama was a nation settled by the Japanese Youtuber Oniyama during his lets-play on the server, which caused his massive audience to all join the server. Users dislike the Japanese for the same reason as the Turks, but many also dislike the Japanese more as their “invasion” happened more recently."
The seventh nation in the video is Hungary, more specifically Ciao000000-controlled Hungary, which is also known as The July Regime. Mr. Incredible imparts a particularly spooky look onto himself for the occasion. The details for Hungary read "Hungary was a nation formed by Ciao000000, a user already infamous on the server for trying to start several communist uprisings. In 2019, Ciao000000 bought Hungary and almost instantly the nations around him grew wary and invaded. Over 40 different nations were all at war with Hungary. Eventually, Ciao000000 stepped down, and Hungary fell into inactivity."
The eigth nation then is White_Russia, to which Mr. Incredible smiles creepingishly while making a spooky noise. The details for White Russia read "White Russia - White Russia was a nation located in Eastern Europe. If you had wanted to trade at the time, you’d need to be wary, as White Russians would advertise their nation in chat, then kill players that visited their nation spawn. Players would be scammed, and spawntrapped."
The ninth nation within the video is Fiji, whom Mr. Incredible promptly dies to and simultaneously decays a hundred years revealing his bony skull. The details for Fiji read "Fiji was another nation in the south pacific. Owned by Mineturtle795, who was actually an alt of the hacker GGOVI. Fiji was another nation where Mineturtle795 would advertise goods, before killing any players teleporting to Fiji, once again scamming and spawntrapping them. It was actually because of Mineturtle795 that spawntrapping was made illegal on EarthMC."
The tenth and last nation in the video is Rupert's_Land, and when encountered, Mr. Incredible dies some more and sprouts a sourly sad Troll Face expression. The details for Rupert's Land read "Rupert’s Land - Rupert’s Land is a nation in northern Canada. The nation is extremely controversial due to their leaders’ repeated acts of targeted harassment and bullying of other users on EarthMC that often slips into the realm of illegality. Luckily though, the nation has mostly gone inactive." After a little while, the screen fades to black, and the video is over.
Production
Production started a week prior to release and took the remainder of the week to finish the film. Before getting started on editing however, Dabs_All_Ovar posted a reddit thread asking what EarthMC players thought were the most controversial nations in EarthMC. Some of the responses from that thread would directly go into the video. Consistently suggested nations would be researched on the EarthMC Wiki both to verify the commentors claims, and to add any new claims. For nations that lacked EarthMC Wikipedia pages, Dabs_All_Ovar directly seeked out individuals involved with said nations. Once all information was fact-checked and ready, Dabs_All_Ovar combined the efforts of time long past, and released the video. The initial reddit thread was closed and editted to include a 'thank you' notice and a link to the video, and a teaser was posted to the EarthMC reddit later that day. "Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny (EarthMC Minecraft Server Nations)" was officially released on January 8th, 2022.

Reception
The video was generally well-received both with those outside and inside the EarthMC community, for a video initially thought to may be polarizing, it brought a great sum of the EarthMC community together. Many are demanding a sequel in which Mr. Incredible becomes "Canny" to EarthMC nations
Trivia
- The flag for Grasberg shown in the video isn't its real flag. Dabs_All_Ovar has stated "I've been scouring the Wiki for nine hours and none of these Japanesers have at all made a wiki page for their prized nation. Konichiwa! Can you guys get on that, pronto? I had to make a silly placeholder flag for Grasberg/Oniyama in the video, but it may have actually turned out to help the humour aspect of the vid." The same applies to White_Russia.
