It added some levity to the film, gave context to the random dead guy in the cave from the first Incredibles, and also showed Supers meeting together publicly just to show how things have changed since the first film (but in the end Incredibles II spends most of its runtime making supers illegal again).

    @@AugustCrossroads It's not the same line though. It's an inversion of it. Helen is trying to say that Dash doesn't need his super-powers to be special, but Dash has a need to succeed, and knows that THIS is the thing he loves and that he is good at. Dash's immaturity causes him to miss that normal people can be 'special' too, and in fact this is paid off when the villain doesn't have super powers (Edna Mode also serves as a foil to Dash's comment). Syndrome wants to destroy exactly that thing about supers, that feeling of having something that other people don't have. Ironically, he says that he'll only do it once he's "old and had his fun", so he's being a hypocrite too. His intelligence arguably IS a superpower, and despite the fact that he could share it, he himself NEEDS to feel special, and he even takes it to the extreme to kill off other supers so that he can feel even more 'special'. Both Dash and Syndrome make this mistake, and in both of them it stems from immaturity. For Dash, it's understandable; for Syndrome, it's contemptible.

    @@AugustCrossroads That's not true though. The first line is about mediocrity being celebrated despite some people having truly exceptional gifts, even mediocre kids are told they are 'special', when they are in fact, not special in any particular way. This is something Bob also complains about in his fight with Ellen. The second line is about Syndrome wanting to apply mediocrity to superpowers, by giving them to everyone (undermining what makes them 'special'). The fact that the two lines are similar carries the theme through: "What makes someone 'special'? Is it superpowers? Or something else? Ultimately Syndrome fails to bring down the robot despite literally having the remote, undermining his point. But also everyone else fails when they try to take it on alone.

    I think they destroyed Elasti-Girl's personality more than anything. She was really wise and smart, and did prioritize her family above heroing stuff, so it is really strange for her to leave the family behind to play hero. I could see her doing that as a family thing, but a lone career, for me, is a direct contradiction to what she showed us in the first movie.

    Thats not true. Before her family Elastigirl was at the height of her career, she literally says in the interview sequence of the first movie "Settle down? Are you kidding? I'm right up there with the big dogs. Girls Come on. Leave the saving the world to the men? I don't think so", so it feels totally in Character for her to go back to this great career once her children are a bit older and her husband offering to be a stay-at-home dad. Like why wouldn't she?! she enjoyed her superhero life-style before they where claimed illegal. And honestly its a natural progression for parents, especially moms, once their children become a bit older to revert back to old interests, hobbies and careers. I guess the problem is that they didn't use this Story in a clever way, that they tried to portray Helen as imperfect (while she was clearly flawed in the fist movie) and it feels like they are more likely repeating the storyline of the first movie while having a weaker Villain.

    When he mentioned adult themes being a part of the movie, my first thought was Syndrome's introduction to the family: "Elastigirl? You MARRIED Elastigirl!? And GOT BUSY!(Bringing in Violet and Dash) It's a whole family of Supers!" Certainly one way to introduce how babies are made to younger audiences, the jury's still out on subtlety though.

    The first film felt a lot smarter (and more genre aware) than the second. Like Bob and Frozone talking about the cliche of villains monologuing, or how breaking down the walls of a burning building will bring down the whole structure, or watching Bob sneak around the facility on the island. They really felt like people who had been around the block as supers and knew what they were doing. The sequel lost that. It seemed to rely on the same tropes and cliches that the first movie subverted (or least used more inventively). The sequal almost felt like a Flanderization of the first movie (and the characters). Like it was trying to mimic the intelligence and "adult" themes of the first movie, but couldn't do so substantive way.

    As an extension to this, the sequel seemed to portray Bob as just a big dumb brawler-type hero, whereas the impression I got from the first movie was that he was an experienced hero who could use his strength inventively to solve problems and fight villains/monsters/giant robots/etc. The sequel also seems to think a 'mind-controll' villain is a really clever and original threat. Bob, Helen, and Frozon had been heroes for a long time and I would think that (as evidenced by their general competence and genre awareness) they've probably already dealt with at least one 'mind-control' type villain in their careers before.

    @@Mr.Gnomebody THANK YOU! Someone else finally noticed how dumbed down they made Bob in the second one. Mr. Incredible's actions in the first film clearly showed he was a seasoned professional. This is seen by how seamlessly he was able to infiltrate Syndrome's lair using both brains and brawns. Then again when he found Gazerbeam's remains, he was quick to discern that the dying Gazerbeam was leaving crucial information and used it to his advantage later. Even earlier in the film when Mirage was describing the robot's details to Mr. Incredible, he was able to fill in the blanks when he interrupted her, saying confidently, "Let me guess, it got smart enough to wonder why it had to take orders." Mr. Incredible is a smart, adaptive man who happened to also have super strength. All of this, only for him in second film to say things like: "'Combustion imminent'? What does that mean?" Or when after Helen told him she used to have a mohawk: Helen: "Ah, you didn't miss anything. (Elasticycle powering up) Oh, yeah! This one's electric." Bob: "Wh-what's that mean?" What do you mean you don't know what electric means? What did they do to you, Bob?! Bob is one of my favorite characters in all of Pixar. Seeing his dialogue reduced to whining and short word questions had me dying inside. Part of me suspects they dumbed him down so to make Elastigirl look better in comparison, which was unnecessary because the first film showed how smart and capable she is already.

    You absolutely hit the nail on the head with every issue I had with Incredibles 2. Same exact plot, weird story choices, no furthering the plot etc. I wanted to see the kids aged up too. I wanted to see new issues with all the characters and their current states in the future. The ending of the first film suggested that supers were no longer illegal (Helen being the first one to don her mask when the underminer shows up solidifies this for me,. She never would've done that otherwise, so making her first line in 2 being "should we be doing this?" Just made my eyes roll on first watch) I also wanted to see one of the kids turn to the dark side. Imagine the conflict of that, plus it would've made sense, given the suppression of the kids gifts in the first movie. Specifically I wanted it be Dash. He's the middle child, he was the most eager to show off and could've been most susceptible to that type of rash behavior/immaturity. I dunno, but I agree 100% with what you've said here. Thanks for putting this together.

    My main gripe is about how the sequel did not respect the themes and character development of the first movie. Bob learns to stop going alone and appreciate the value of working with others. Has to be alone in the sequel. Also gets jealous because he's not in the spotlight. Helen develops in her relationship with Violet. At first she expects her daughter to hide her powers to maintain family security, then confusingly and harshly demands her to use them during the plane crisis. She then learns to encourage Violet to see the power within herself. Helen also learns to stop shielding her children from the harsher realities of superhero work, and lets them prove themselves capable. This is basically all ignored in the sequel. Violet learns to be more confident in herself and gets a date at the end because she took the initiative to ask. Gets it ripped away by Decker and goes back to hating her powers in the sequel. Dash starts out incredibly competitive and wanting to be the best, but grows as a character, so when he gets second place in the race, he's fine with it. Doesn’t really do anything in the sequel. Don't ruin solid character growth like that. The first movie did it brilliantly. The second one just had no reason to exist. The story was finished at the end of the first movie. Just because the Underminer showed up doesn’t mean it's a "cliffhanger" requiring a sequel. It just hinted at the future of the family working together according to the theme of the story. No sequel necessary.

    Unfortunately, Disney would NEVER let that happen. To think they'd even allow any sort of fan-fiction on their "intellectual property" is incredibly naive... Have you never witnessed the lengths both Disney and Marvel will go to see that any inkling of intellectual property infringement will be met with an army of lawyers? Heck I'll even give you a good example: City of Heroes, NCSoft v. Marvel; and those same sleezebag money-grubbing lawyers that worked for Marvel then, guess who they work for now? Yep, Disney. Do I wish it was about the art of good story telling first and foremost? Of course I do! But unfortunately that is not the reality here in the United States. Executives of large corporations are basically kings here, and thinking otherwise is naive and foolish. Need more proof of that? Look at a wealth distribution graph scaled against population numbers on the one axis and net asset $'s on the other axis. The bright side on this is that when you see a good story told, even if it's a small production: be it a book, short film, video game, etc. -- please, PLEASE support it. And it also means when a director, actor, or other staff on a production team for a large studio produces a gem, those should also be lauded. Nothing against big business, or small business, or anything in-between. Just praise and support what's done well, and don't give money or support to pandering, lazily-made cash-grabs.

    The scene on the original where Bob is cutting the meat, whilst praising the amazingness of Dash's speed, is nothing short of magnificent writing. Because he's so proud of his son, regardless of the superpowers, as it is so secondary.

    One thing I love about the parents’ argument scene is that if you listen to the literal words they are saying, it’s not quite connected. That’s because the characters have had this conversation many times, and they’ve developed a shorthand for talking about the real issues without actually bringing up certain things. Bob complains that dash isn’t getting the attention and respect he deserves for his abilities, and what does Helen say? “This is not about you”. Bob isn’t talking about Dash, really, he’s using Dash as a stand in for himself, and propping his son up as an example because deep down he feels that if his son gets what he himself wants, then he can get what he wants too.

    Talking about deleted scenes for I2 and how they're better than the actual movie... There's one scene, that was missing from the video - "The memorial Service", where Bob gives a huge and truly sincere speech about Gazerbeam and every other hero, who died in the events of Sindrom's plan. His speech continues through and we see how their family lives in a new house, we also see how superheroes are still technically illegal, but Bob hopes that someday the world will call for them once more. Not only it serves as a better opening rather than the one we have in a final cut with Underminer, but it also takes a very big reveal from the 1st movie and takes time to actually acknowledge it. In the 2nd movie, did anyone (excluding Bob) ever realized that Sindrom technically caused a "super-hero genocide"? For me, it's a huge deal. The writers know this, since they made this particular scene. Heck, even though this scene does feel like it belongs in some other (better) version of a movie, it could have worked for the ideas of the final version. Like, they already explained, that Heroes are illegal (- and they made it feel important). But also, in this deleted scene the family is basically at the same point as they are after the Underminer fight. But yeah, just as I said, the scene does feel like it's from a completely different story. Probably a more mature one, since they are starting from the acknowledgement of all deaths in the 1st movie. Who knows what paths they could've taken in this version? Only makes me even more sad. But the only good thing here is... well, if they do ever make Incredibles 3, maybe they could reuse this idea...? I really want to hope they will, because it's just so tragic and hopeful, dark and brightfull all at the same time.

She had to be able to show Bob that girls are better at being stay-at-home parents AND being super heroes, while Bob had to work to be good at both. They SHOULD have had both parents facing issues with their new situations, not only letting both have a bit of character growth, but also allowing them to be supportive of one another in a new way we hadn't necessarily seen before. This situation is in hundreds of sitcoms and family movies across decades, and somehow Incredibles 2 STILL managed to screw it up for seemingly no reason other than perhaps some cheap "girl power" message that the movie really should have been above. What a massive mistake, both characters would have gotten so much more out of such a short scene.

    I'm surprised you didn't mention the superhero interviews in the setup and payoff section. Early in the movie, the superheroes are interviewed individually. Mr. Incredible said that a civilian life would be ideal for him, when in reality, Bob resents every second of it. Frozone said that he will never settle because he doesn't want to be tied down when in the end, Lucius ends up married anyways. Elastigirl told the interviewer how she won't be settling down anytime soon when in reality, Helen's probably the most well adjusted super in hiding. Every single bit of this movie is setup and payoff and I love it.

    I saw The Incredibles in a theater. Aside from my cousin not shutting up the entire time, asking questions about a movie none of us had seen, I loved it. It stuck in my mind for a long time. I was excited when it came out on DVD and got it ASAP. I watched it several times after and will still go back to it to this day. The Incredibles is easily my favorite movie to ever come from Pixar, and Disney as a whole. I watched The Incredibles 2... It took me days. I would pause to take a break, remember it was a thing, come back to it, and take another break to watch something that was legit entertaining, well written, etc. (I had the same issue with Cars 2, though that... that movie wore me down.) The only idea I found interesting was Helen being the main hero. It forced Bob to be the house parent while Helen went off to be the 'breadwinner'. Something he had no real idea how to do despite being a parent for 17ish years. It was neat... It COULD have been neat. But as you've stated in your video, as good as this movie could have been, it's just not. Though we did get a few swears, which both stunned me and made me chuckle. Rambling rant over. Enjoyed the vid great, my guy. You got a new sub. Now on to Cars. Forgive me if I skip 2. You know why.

    I just noticed this not that long ago but it really goes into depth about how rather insane Syndrome is. In the beginning of the movie, when Mr. Incredible confront and restrains Bomb-Voyage, he tells Buddy “Fly home, Buddy. I work alone.” You can just take in how dire the situation is for Bob trying to control Bomb-Voyage while also telling Buddy to leave. But later, when Mr. Incredible confronts Syndrome on the island and we see the flashback to before, you only see Mr. Incredible , with dramatic lighting over his head, looking down at Buddy, telling him “Fly home, Buddy. I work alone”. And leaves. You can tell, that that was from Buddy’s perspective, meaning he was only interested in being Mr.Incredible’s sidekick and wasn’t interested in the danger that could happen. I never noticed that until a little while ago, it just shows how corrupt Syndrome had become.

    One thing I noticed about Syndrome is how he treats others and how that contrasts with Bob. Look at his relationship with Mirage. She is the vehicle he uses to convince Bob to come to the island which ultimately leads to his capture. Mirage, however is shown not to be as ruthless as Syndrome, shown when she is visibly uncomfortable to play the plane's transmission knowing Bob's wife is the pilot, and is visibly horrified when she hears Bob’s children are also there. This transitions to Syndrome mocking Bob for being alone and Bob grabbing and threatening to kill Mirage in his grief. Bob is of course unable to as a result of the torture he’s been put through, but this sets up one of Syndrome's biggest flaws: people are disposable. Following this, Mirage blatantly tells him, "Next time you gamble, bet your own life." She then focuses her efforts on helping the heroes, she lets Bob go, tells him his family is alive, and gives them the password to launch the rocket. Because he viewed her as disposable, she helped speed up his undoing. Again, it shows even when he had an organization behind him, he saw them as nothing more than pieces in his master plan, and thus, he was always alone. Just like he was in that flashback.

The biggest thing that really took me out of the 2nd movie was the villain motivation by far, not only could you tell who was the villain but, the motivation was pretty weak as well. When I was a kid watching it for the first time in theaters, it was a big plot twist because buddy was portrayed as a goofy wannabe side kick and at that point in the movie we weren't even expecting a villain because back then they didn't spoil the movie in the trailer, so when it was revealed to be him it made it so good. Then there was the mind blowing cgi for the time and elaborate camera chases in the action scenes that just weren't in CGI movies at the time.

She starts with her hair almost entirely covering her face, she's always hunched over hiding even further behind it. But you'll notice that as the movie proceeds, it gradually becomes less obstructive to the point where eventually she has the hairband keeping her face completely exposed. It's a great visual progression to show how she becomes more confident throughout the film. Honestly the first movie is a masterpiece of a film worthy of study.

As we saw earlier, the chairs swivel around in them, they're not always looking forward and they're not driving, they're just riding, so there's no reason they would have seen anybody on the tracks, so that also wasn't a plot hole.

    I think the hardest part about watching this film was seeing Helen be so happy and successful while Bob struggled. Being a hero is so incredibly important to Bob and while he grits his teeth and reluctantly is a good sport about taking the backseat, the movies is seemingly trying to say, "LOOK AT THIS MAN STRUGGLING TO DO WHAT A WOMAN DOES WHILE SHE DOES HIS 'JOB' PERFECTLY." I know I am not the only one who feels like the movie was trying to make jabs like this. I don't think there is anything wrong with the roles being reversed, but it makes the family work seem demeaning while the hero work is made out to be pure upside. To that end, Bob wanted to be a hero not because it was fun, but because it gave him meaning and a sense of value and purpose. It gave him a way to prove himself. To this end Incredibles 2 feels like it misunderstands the first film. Hero work for Helen, as mentioned in this video, is just 'fun' and a way for her to show off rather than something which is a core part of what she needs to be happy. Being a caretaker isn't demaning and working a job isn't some easy pure upside either. Both roles have their struggles and thrills. Bob can struggle at home, but Helen should struggle at work and both should understand their experiences rather than just mocking Bob for having it easy and apparently never contributing at home with homework or school issues???

    i think its interesting that we see helen is successful in the hero role [even though she was being a little dense and missing the big signs of an inside job] AND as the family caretaker while bob only excelled at one. its kind of indicative of how society kind of is irl with this stuff. a Lot of the time it IS that way irl and i really didnt get the sense they were trying to demean bob by giving him the role of caretaker, they were showing that his years of letting his wife do that mostly on her own [remember bow vacant he was in the dinner scene in the first movie?] while he was busy trying to recapture his past meant he was incredibly unequipped to do it now. For me it wasn't saying "look how much of a struggle Bob is having, this job isn't as cool as being a superhero" it was saying "look how much of a struggle Bob is having, this job can be just as hard and he isn't good at it like Helen is" A lot of people see a woman working at home and doing well while her husband is successful and don't think a thing of it, but u put her husband in her place and her in his and suddenly it's hard to watch? You can see him succeeding as a hero while she does the grunt work and that's fine but then she gets the hero work and he's doing her job and now it's no longer fun? Ask yourself why that is. You said u would rather watch her struggle as well instead of see the reality that he never put in the effort to do what she can do at home and that's kinda an odd stance to take imo

    I wouldn't agree that it's the hardest part to watch, but I definitely get your point. I feel like both of them should have had legitimate struggles in their roles, although maybe not equal struggles, since the first movie shows helen being a good superhero. I think they shouldn't have made them both dumber characters lol. I think it makes sense that Bob struggled a lot with caretaking, considering his approach of "Listen to your mother" in the first film, but they could have handled it better. They are supposed to be equals and close as husband and wife, not having one outshine the other.

In the case of Helen we have the issue of her being chosen for the sponsorship not because of her skills, but rather because she as a woman was better for optics and wouls be perceived as less threatening than a male super, even if she had greater akills than her peers in the end what pushed her forward was being non threatening and feminine, an expectation that is pushed into women entering the workforce a lot. In the case of Bob is even more blatant because they immediately play the 'men can't do the work of a woman' trope even before jack jack becomes an issue

It done so subtly that kids don’t really get what’s actually being said in that scene, but it shows enough that it hits the adults full force. “This hero? Dead This hero? Dead This hero? DEAD Oh yeah this hero too? DEAD LET’S NOT FORGET THIS DEAD HERO! Oh yeah this guy? SUPER DEAD” It starts out slowly, but then it keeps going, and it keeps going, then Bob realises what’s happening, and it keeps going, and the music keeps rising in intensity. God-tier cinema right there.

    Now that I think about it, your "10 years later" idea actually gives a perfect reason to give Jack-Jack a lot of screen time. He'd be around 10-13, and what generally happens around that time? Puberty. With the film's more realistic, non-sugarcoating approach to storytelling and his myriad of powers, the film could have him learning how to deal with them as his body changes and struggle with not being in control of them, while literally his entire family and to a greater extent all other supers seem to do everything perfect. It would be a perfect source of conflict where he feels alienated despite supers being accepted, maybe he even worries that he could hurt people or get supers bad again, and you could use that so, like in the first film he's taken advantage of in the villain, but in a much different way. Then you could tell a story where Jack-Jack learns the others aren't perfect, which pairs beautifully with the parent's retirement plan and his siblings tell him about the issues they had growing up allowing them to come together as a family again to defeat the villain.

    A lot of his powers in the second movie revolve around amplifying aspects of being a parent to an infant. Tantrums, disappearing acts, being difficult to pick up when they don't want to be picked up, etc. Perhaps his powers start changing at puberty, and he doesn't know how to control them or how to feel about his whole power set changing. I know I felt kinda weird about going from 5'6 to 6' and seeing my facial structure change in around 2 years, imagine your superpowers changing from one thing to something completely different. Like, he tries to go to the pocket dimension he can travel through unseen and it doesn't work, but when he gets angry and punches a wall he puts a hole through it. It's a bit obvious, but I think it could be a neat conflict to center what essentially amounts to a family drama movie where each family member has super powers around.
