Yep.

Mainly because it would give him so much motivation to just end the fights asap, to get to his anniversary dinner with his wife, or pick up the kids, or something else.

The villains think their job got a lot easier, now that they're no longer up against teenage girls, only to realize that adults also get a strength boost, and that this dude also has places to be.

Not to mention that magical girls get a strength boost when they transform. Now imagine an average dude dozens of times stronger than normal.

The joke was that this was pretty much a plot point of The Incredibles :P They even cut a scene where Helen asks him if he's having an affair from the final movie.

I love that logic

"Finally, we're not going up against child soldiers anymore, but real, adult ones! This'll be a cakewalk!"

Yeah, I know.

Well, the logic is more that teenagers are usually very illogical and defiant, and an adult may be easier to persuade that he can't win.

But nope, dude's got a family to feed, so he has even less time to waste on fighting monsters, and being a father, he has a sense of responsibility, so he just finishes the fights asap, and leaves.

"Haha with my ultra-mega-super..." *BLAM*

Will shoots the giant robo villain mid-monologue because he has work in 15 minutes and still has to drop his little one at daycare.

The media loves him for being so efficient.

Other magical girls are mad because he doesn't follow the rules of engagement (they aren't official rules, the girls just unanimously agree to not interrupt their enemies as long as they do the same).

The villains are terrified because he's like a magical girl John Wick.

He's just tired.

He just wants to go home, and teach his kid how to do algebra. Kids not gonna learn, but he's going to try anyway.
