@soens.  I think we are all just being silly. If people did the theoretically sensible thing in movies they would probably be over in 5 minutes.  Without going into political charged detail, I think it is rare when real life villians are as comically black and white as thew stereotypical movie villian who gives himself and evil name like "Legion of evil", laughs manically  while slowly swiveling in his chair while petting his impossibly white kitty!

Silliness?  Here?  In the Coffee House???

Not every base requires a self-destruct button.  Remote detonation can be much more satisfying.

I thought Alotta had already monopolized Austin's Mojo?

And don't leave the key out where the good guy can find it and either detonate or abort the self-destruct sequence. 

Maybe villians should not build any form of override into their doomsday device for the hero to shutdown. If I was hellbent on say blowing up the planet, including an off button is too wishy washy.
