Why Won't Mr. Wolf Get A Job?

 Why Won't Mr. Wolf Get A Job, This Is A Long Story, Here's The Lore Of It!

Even though they redeemed themselves from life as thieves at the end of the first film, and even willingly did time, the titular gang of The Bad Guys 2 have a hard time building themselves a new life after being The Dreaded for years. Everyone is still very suspicious of them (especially the LAPD Commissioner), and no workplace will hire them, not even bowling alleys. One of the first scenes sees the leader, Mr. Wolf, trying to get hired...at a bank he robbed three times. It goes as well as you'd expect. Even Diane Foxington, formerly the infamous Crimson Paw only managed to get as far in life as Governor because her criminal past was never discovered, and the millisecond the villains of the sequel expose her to the public, she sinks all the way to the 0% Approval Rating. It takes the Bad Guys and Diane a (fake) Heroic Sacrifice to finally get some public love despite their past as crooks.
