It's hard to sympathise with comic book henchmen. Cities like Gotham and New York are full of bozos who would happily put on any crazy costume if it meant they got to wield a gun or punch a lycra-clad teenager in the face. And to make it even harder, these specific henchmen have signed up with Hitler, who is wearing a tie-dye Klan costume. Sympathy is in short supply.
And then they make a completely stupid move, like not questioning a perfectly flat, brand-new blue road in the jungle. Of course it's Reed who, presumably, was quite happy to lie face-down in the jungle whilst a dozen henchmen trample across his back.
