Syndrome is such a well written villain. While his motives sound lame on paper, it’s twisted and utilized into a wonderfully written character.

The first Incredibles is just like Classic Thomas. Not speaking down to kids, and understanding their intelligence and emotions. Absolutely brilliant.

Not a plot hole. Edna knows the kids sizes because she is exceptionally thorough at her craft. She's a passionate wildcard with connections across the globe. Of course she knows the family's sizes. Do not fuck with Edna Mode, she knows where you live.

Something I noticed rewatching Incredibles recently is that when Helen tells the kids, "These aren't like the bad guys on TV. They will kill you," they're learning something we previously saw about this world when Bomb Voyage put a bomb on Buddy's cape.

this scene from the first film has stuck with me for awhile:

The sequel is definitely a result of Disney meddling with the product.

they really wrote the best scenes in incredibles 2 only to cut each of them out

"They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity"... damn, that quote aged like the finest of wines

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.

something i really like about the incredibles 1 is that bob is shown like a smart person, when he recieved the message of mirage he inmediately start looking for a pen to write down what he is hearing, is a small detail but adds a lot to the character.

I think a BIG problem between these two films is this... They lost the spy flair.

Honestly, the idea that Bird was basically forced to make the sequel doesn't sound that far fetched at all considering this is Disney we're talking about... based on the deleted scenes, I strongly agree with that theory.

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 Incredibles 2 is Disney, The Incredibles was Pixar. One is an instrument for money and the other is art.

In the documentary they also stated they cut the pilot out because the mother piloting and pleading over the radio with the attackers and bringing up her children is so much more intense than if it was just some random pilot.

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.

10:57 I love the impression that Syndrome gives off in this scene. He's not pissed at Bob, just at himself for falling into the trap and laughs it off.
