Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) │ Six Minutes & Three Seconds of Helga Sinclair [DPU HD 4K]

[@slotzoffuntrue]

You can see she's actually a somewhat caring character. When Milo is reading from the book, she leans over his shoulder and listens to him, looking actually interested in what he has to say and when the sub goes down and they're all in the cave she looks legitimately distraught and saddened by all the loss of life. Also, when she learns Atlantis is populated she has very clear reservations about continuing the mission because she doesn't want to hurt more people. It seems at that point the only thing keeping her on the mission is likely Rourke's constant reminder of riches and his pressure to keep going.

It doesn't show in this video but she says that because when Roarke throws her off he shouts "Nothing personal!" at her in a mocking tone, and for the remainder of the fight we think she's dead, so at the climax of it they reveal she's still alive and she repeats his same line back at him as a comeback right before shooting him down as we see.

I actually had pity on her. She hesitated when she learns that Atlantis is a thriving community. She isn't evil because she is "evil", she's driven with money, and loyalty.

She is loyal to her team - shown when she aided Milo, Aubrey, and Sweet when escaping the submarine, she also look devastated knowing a lot from her team had died from the Leviathan..

[@vincentfichtler7758]

She could have blamed the rest of the crew thinking that they were in the way of the money but she didn't because she finally saw the true colours of Rourke a greedy man doesn't care about anyone except himself and is willing to do anything for money even if it means to kill a few people.

Even though Helga didn’t have that much screen time I remember her the most out of the supporting cast. I like that she wasn’t fully bad. It showed that she genuinely had regrets and questioning her decisions. Had chances to do the right thing until it was too late. Granted it is impressive that she survived the fall and not get hit by those blades, unlike Rourke. I know it’s technically confirmed that the lava got her, but if the series had gone through they’d probably would’ve had a reveal that she survived somehow with a redemption arc.

I’ve heard that there were plans for her to be the villain in an Atlantis sequel, but those plans never came to fruition.

[@greatcesari]

Every character in this movie other than Rourke and Thatch were grey characters, which is why I like it. Personally, Dr Sweeney is my favorite. I feel like this movie deserved a 2 hour runtime though since there were so many characters and details that could have been explored.

[@kevinquiroscanales6240]

I agree with@@greatcesari, I think it was good she DIDN'T get a redemption ark because she already got so many chances of doing right and still chose money. That is how bad people are in real life. A hitman that works for drug dealers probably has children that they love and care; that doesn't excempt them from the fact that they have ruined other families. These kind of characters are what made this movie amazing, they feel real, even if it's in a way we don't like.

I actually wish they didn’t kill Helga in the end. Although it is ambiguous whenever she died of her injuries or the lava encasing her, it was likely the former. She fell from a great height and it is implied she hit the ground quite hard. Judging how she reacts in pain she suffered internal bleeding, fractured ribs, and other fatal injuries. If you look carefully her eyes roll back implying she was dying. My guess is because she still went through with killing off innocent people just to gain money and didn’t show remorse though she originally hesitated and the fact she was the secondary antagonist. Would had loved to have seen her redeem and be friends with Milo.

Helga Sinclair, she had mastered the technique of the "Slipping shoulder's strap" so perfectly

[@creatureconnor]

Whoever was the audio guy for this movie needs a raise. The sound effects are beautifully satisfying!

[@ninnoofthelastunicorn2693]

I still hold that this movie was made in the wrong era. The original script being three hours long with a lot more moments with the crew really would have made this movie more complete.

[@kreion]

She's probably my favorite Disney character

[@thatonewolfguy]

btw, her voice actress voices a lot of the commanding tone women in skyrim. Aela for example

[@Colgruv]

She dominates every scene she's in, even when she's not speaking 😂

[@mmus13898]

This is back when Disney did strong female characters properly. It’s so bafflingly disappointing to know that this character was created by the same studio that gave us She-Hulk and Willow

[@ethan123p4]

The way she acts is how she hulk is supposed to act too

[@falconeshield]

You done bitching?

[@winterspirit3734]

At the beginning I was rooting for her. Had a crush on her too but what she became. No to that. Clearly she cared unfortunately not enough. She made her bed & now she gets to lie on it. Could've been different. Wish it had.

[@androssteague]

This is back when adventure movies were adventure movies. And not adventure movies trying to play as superhero films.

[@wazkangz955]

Badass deadly babe with a C96 Mauser, such a complex character. Looks awesome in 4K.

[@AndreNitroX]

helga is one of the best female villains in any animated movie

[@stardusst]

she was my first cartoon crush. good to know i had good taste lol

[@inejghafa8655]

Me: *sees Helga* aaaand I’m gay now Damn she so perfect

[@editingman95]

She looks like Sonya Blade in animated

[@Chreeeis]

3:24 Ive replayed this scene 50 times. The animation is so fluid, ive never seen this level of skill used for comedic effect. She really hated mole😂

[@eren34558]

You did not have to go this far for us but we thank you

[@retrogamingproductions0510]

0:06 omg even as a gay man, I can say without a doubt that this woman is a baddie

[@nathancruz9172]

5:46-5:58 that’s what happened when Helga got revenge on Rourke for betraying her.

[@willpoweramv]

Sheeesh Disney would never make a movie or write characters like this nowadays. Where did it all go wrong?

[@MrDude826]

This is peak american animation.

Do people actually need more than beans, bacon, whiskey and lard?

Well at least her final actions were noble.

[@firestormthelovewing2114]

I'm so in love with her

[@lazerbeam134]

I can fix her, I really can

[@oompalumpus699]

I really wanted a redemption arc for Helga. I don't think I can call her a proper villain. She just made the wrong decisions.

[@bananatiergod]

Nah, she was a greedy, callous opportunist just like Rourke, only in it for the money. It's just that he was also a psychopath who doesn't care about killing whoever is in his way.

[@colinharter4094]

they really did put a dominatrix into a Disney movie and refused to elaborate, didn't they?

[@Sacrer]

There's a Turkish actress named Gamze Özçelik who looks exactly like her. She even has a mole on the exact spot lol 😂

[@andrewthorn7283]

Back when they knew how to write strong female characters

[@-12Sided]

That’s right! Back when they weren’t a walking political mouthpiece.

[@DPham1]

"Misogyny."

[@-12Sided]

@Kaila Hodge-McNutt Whatever that means. Some say approaching or complimenting women is a form of harassment ergo misogyny. At the same time they are all self righteous about carelessly sleeping with multiple guys, and somehow wonder why they can’t land a good relationship with anyone. Delusional narcissists are what tons of women are nowadays.

[@arnoldgreen4278]

@Kaila Hodge-McNutt Because in a movie about talking cats no one wants to hear about the flaws of patriarchal society.

[@haltair4015]

Still the most interesting and sexiest Disney antagonist ever
