Why the Incredibles 2 is the MOST DISSAPOINTING Pixar Movie EVER

Disney and Pixar both have several masterpiece films under their belt, so what went wrong with this one? In this video, I try to prove that The Incredibles 2 had the frame work to not only be great, but even better than the original.

[@joshuanguyen8928]

The Dash with ADHD plot could probably work in an Incredibles 3. Since Bob and Helen are very accustomed to super hero life and all the formalities and customs, it could take Dash a while to adjust to those since he’s become a prominent name in the hero industry. While Dash recognizes the purpose of stuff like damage control, power registration, and advertising, he could also call out aspects of those businesses that are selfish and scummy, but many could dismiss him. Something that I’ve been saying for years is that Rick Dicker should be a villain at some point because the Parr’s basically ruined his life, and that would fit perfectly here as he starts manipulating heroes and their fight scenes and causing casualties for personal gain (which would also be the perfect time to introduce more everyday villains like the Underminer). Other characters could empathize with Dash like Frozone who was always ahead of the scene or Voyd who’s a new hero but also can’t see the purpose behind hero customs. Just my very long 2 cents.

[@josearielortiz2055]

Rick Dicker ain’t no villain but he definitely ain’t a saint at what’s he done with the supers either. He’s done some mistakes but he means well. To define more to the plot, I think he needs to die being murdered by the villain of the movie. About Dash, I would say he would need a teenage math tutor to help him improve his studies. And what could be even more cute is that that tutor is also his crush!

[@cofeespear4992]

[@autobotsrollout1237]

I really couldn't stand the villain in this movie, she felt so weak in comparison to Syndrome. She felt forgettable and even why she was doing what she was doing. I agree it would've been cool to see some kinda connection between her and Helen in some way from the past. Maybe even be one of the heroes that didn't save her father or something and would give Evelyn a reason to hate Helen and heroes and want to ruin what Helen loved. The concept of why Evelyn doesn't like heroes because people rely on them to much is like saying we shouldn't have, police firefighters or even doctors if they don't save someone in time. It just doesn't make a lot of sense. It be different if she maybe had a breakdown, and she wasn't all right in the head because of a trauma. but based on the movie she looked completely sane and was aware. That was just my take from it. What was great about syndrome was he was the equivalent of "never meet you heroes, because they will disappoint you" he was also a kid so it him hurt even more. He felt relatable. It felt like when you say you want to grow up to be something and then people put you down saying you could never do that. So he went to the extreme to prove a point that he could do it but lost his way along the way while also holding on to a grudge.

[@laraschroeder5195]

Maybe her grudge could be that supers choose to save someone else besides her father, and that’s why she’s making Helen do all these tests to show how supers don’t save the “right people”. Make her a victim of the trolly problem or something

If they do a third movie I’d like if it wasn’t an Incredibles 3. I would like to see a Frozone stand alone movie about his life or a movie about their origins and the glory days. I would love to see how Helen and bob met each other and their relationships with the other supers!

[@arandomguywantingtobeayout8226]

same :D

[@cashkurtz5780]

I think a 7 year time gap would be great for a third movie. Jack-Jack would be 8, but Dash and Violet would be so distant in age that it would be hard for them to connect. Dash could be at college, and very distracted by his workload, making it hard to connect with Jack-Jack or anyone else in the family. Meanwhile, Violet is 21 and trying to figure out how the adult world works, maybe she is balancing her job, taxes, and family life. It could be a movie about how hard it is to keep a strong relationship with those you love while there is so much you have to do just to have financial stability. Meanwhile Jack-Jack doesn't understand why they aren't interacting with him as much as they were when he was 5 or so. All this may makes Jack-Jack feel as if it is his fault, leading him into a slump, where he thinks that he is only an inconvenience for everyone else in the family. Bob and Helen try to find a way to make Jack-Jack feel better about himself, maybe by making short term solutions, like buying him new toys, but it doesn't work in the long term. I haven't thought of an ending for it so feel free to reply your best Idea for how the problems may be solved or how they may reach an understanding where everyone can learn an individual message about the world, tailored to their own characters. Thank you for reading, and I apologize if the format was confusing.

[@josearielortiz2055]

No anything but a distant time jump. Maybe I could agree with a little time jump. At least as 3 years later.

[@alphatara2008]

Something that could add to the drama is that before, Violet was the closest to him because she's the only one with multiple powers like him, so he connect to her more because she can understand it, understand him. We could also make her discover and struggle with the fact that her having multiple powers is actually extremely rare, and her family has two of those really rare supers. She and Jack Jack (?) could be targeted because of that? Maybe a criminal organisation interested in studying them or something? And they could reconnect through this story or something, deciding to be working together as a duo later on (maybe when her youngest brother is an adult himself, or at least a teenager? Dunno).

[@luanlinhares1707]

​@@josearielortiz2055 why not?

[@mr.watson2491]

Then if bob tries to convince helen to try not to be a superhero, they can have a scene that mirrors the argument scenes from the first film. That would have been amazing seeing and/or hearing bob and helen arguing from the complete opposite point of view. Maybe making the same points and stands the other made from the first fight

[@hannahneloms1143]

I think my least favorite part of the movie was anything concerning the baby. Don't know why I hated him, but every time that twerp was on screen I wanted to throw an anvil at my tv.

[@Killermudkip1]

I think the best way to fix the Villain is to make the villain the rich dude character instead of his sister. Make it so that he’s creating threats and putting people in danger so that he can fulfill his goal of reviving the supers by any means necessary. That way the ending with supers being legalized again is more ambiguous because technically he still wins. Imagine the guy being put into a police cruiser but he’s laughing and cheering because he still accomplished his goal.

[@athenasimp9928]

thats acttaly really clever and imma just add onto this, due to his infloence he could do things behind others backs (like pay some local crooks to cause chaos and start a vilonce proset that the heros have to handle before it gets out of hand and/ro ruins their image) and in doing so the movie can take a more in depth outlooks on casutses and coladerale damge, basicly what im saying is that the movie had a chance to go deeper into poltics and its a shame it didnt also sorry for my spelling im very dyslecic and very tird

@@athenasimp9928 Ever heard of spellcheck?

[@jetsetspy817]

ever since the movie came out, the fact that Evelyn had the potential to be a great villain just bothered me. I feel like she could easily tie into the continuity set up by the first movie if her motivation was that she was reacting to what Syndrome did by using him as an example like "see what all this idealization of heroes does to people?" I think that in combination with the themes of public perception and striving for a healthy balance between personal life and being a hero could have easily made it just as good as the original if all those plot points were focused well.

[@Leuhim]

Wait: incredibles 2 was 4 years ago!? How much time am I wasting?

[@damotoneko1500]

Honestly one of my biggest problems is how this movie resets the characters since the last movie. I liked the idea of Violets crush found out her identity. If they kept that then Tony could've helped the family's image as a civilian and act as the first step upwards. He'd be great too in supporting Violet too. Also at the end of the first movie they basicly gave us the impression that supers had once again been legalized and the family was all alright with leaping into action. Also how the heck has Jackjack not acted up for 3 months!? Seriously i feel that the movie shouldnt have made such a giant step-back.

[@dylansharp8471]

Reset?

[@damotoneko1500]

@@dylansharp8471 Yes. Basicly they were the same as they were before the island. The island was them being forced to tackle an issue which in turn brough them closer and let them grow individually. I'll take for instance Helen's view on supers and superpowers. In the first one she was against it, then when they were in danger she was forced to allow them and they thrived. Even letting Dash start doing sports and then doing hero work afterwards. But then in the next movie she's against all of it again. Infact i don't even think this Helen would allow Dash to do sports. Feel free to argue since i must admit i am not the greatest critic compared to the ones like Danny Motta up there.

[@catholicfemininity2126]

Speaking of Dash. He really loves sports, and if you get D's or F's in your classes, the sports team isn't gonna allow you to participate in sports activities. It would be both embarrassing and sad. Maybe Dash could have bullies who are jealous of him make fun of him for being 'dumb' or something. Maybe a former teacher or classmate Dash did pranks on is getting back at him. So, not only is Dash afraid of failing and ending up like his dad did, but also fears losing doing the things he loves.

[@Astronimest]

Personally as someone who has and still does struggle with adhd and dyslexic I loved the idea of dash having adhd I agree especially since my family is always compared me to Dash having that type of representation would be amazing and i like the way you were thinking of taking him

[@zvonimirtomac7896]

Man, I feel like a lot of the characters got sidelined in this movie when in the previous one they all had their time to shine. Mr. Incredible also didn't feel like he contributed all that much to the movie, except for some funny scenes. Bob's voice actor from my country was asked in an interview "If you had Mr. Incredible's powers, what would you do?" and he was like "Well, considering he spends time at the house cooking and taking care of the kids, well, I can already do that." It really felt like even he knew that Bob didn't get to do much.

[@fabiofuoco]

Yeah first they underpowered him on the miner scene where he seems weak as hell, and then reduced him to a comedy relief. What made the first movie great was that each member had their purpose in the overall movie even dash being good at catching has a major role in the final fight. They couldn’t do it for this one

[@alexabeyta3808]

Incredible 1 with all its heavy topics like suicide, murder, hella death in the film, would totally get cancelled if it were released today and that really sucks because we’re not gonna get complex and relatable movies like back in the day

[@lincolnholocinski-francis9063]

What if Dash just needed attention? His dad was constantly living in the past, and just gets “oh, you’re so fast”. Like you said, Dash wants to be more than be fast, but his dad won’t help. Incredibles 3: make Tony sacrifice himself for Violet. Of course, Tony can survive, but it would draw upon something Incredibles did well; Syndrome was morally right in his beliefs. Tony, a kid with no powers, saved a Super when they couldn’t defend themselves. I think you can make Incredibles 3 about responsibility, like that people can’t push their problems on Supers, because they can make a difference.

[@flameboi7104]

What if Dash was failing algebra because he always does homework at super speed and has to go slow at school. He usually gets the wrong answers many times before getting the right answer. Going normal speed at school forces him to pay attention to small details when he usually rushes through and fixes everything with a second, third, fourth pass through. This would illustrate a sort of super ADHD.

[@Its_just_me_man]

Perhaps having the villain be a family member would help with the thematic nature? Then she'd have to y'know, stop them, but at the same time try not to hurt them.

[@pabloiriqui6128]

Honestly comparing both movies just makes me think Brad Bird didn’t really wanted to make this sequel. Incredibles 1 is so thematically rich and so tightly written. The sequel instead feels like a first draft, like he wrote it on a weekend and just was like “ok we can do this or whatever”

[@cofeespear4992]

Also that part where she kicks the people she was saving out of the helicopter could have been edited to make her look bad but weirdly never was

[@braindeadgirlllll]

I feel like this movie was made for the sole reason of being another “girl power” movie. Which, let me clarify now, isn’t a bad thing. When done right. This movie had the potential to be good and not solely because Helen was a women. It could have been a moment to show off her as a complex character as well as being badass, while she also happened to be a women. Instead it feels like she was only put in to be a badass women. Again not bad but it gives of the vibes of Diversity for solely the sake of diversity.

[@aguywithalotofopinions412]

[@creation1233]

Pictures this. Throughout the movies we see the algebra scene but we also see Dash ask everyone around him about it and when Bob finally goes into Dashes room he sees posters for a show and say “I didn’t know you like that…” “yeah the third movie came out least week some of my classmates went to see it.” and Bob just stands there realizing he doesn’t know his own kids and just repeats “I didn’t know…” he walks downstairs and looks around the house, at the mess, and a sleeping Jack Jack and Violet after she calms him down. He goes to Violets and sees some of the things she likes. We see Bob come to accept that he needs to learn how to be there for his kids and we a close up shot of him picking up the algebra book from the table and head to his room. Then a shot outside the house, all the lights off but one slowly turn into morning. Then we follow Dash and Violet walk downstairs to see a clean house, a happy Jack Jack, and Bob making breakfast, not the best but he put a lot of effort into it. Maybe some burnt bacon and eggs on his own plate that were his first attempt and didn’t want to waste. They eat and he says it’s the weekend so do they have any plans and Violet wants to go out but she can stay and watch Jack Jack and he says no it’ll be alright and to be safe and gives her a hug as she smiles and goes to get ready. Leaving Dash and Bob at the table, dash says he has homework so he’ll be in his room and bob says he’ll help, to which dash goes “don’t worry it’s algebra I’ll call mom and see if she can help.” Bob smiles and says “don’t worry I did some homework of my own, I can help.” And we get a sweet scene of Bob holding Jack Jack in one arm and pointing on the page helping Dash with algebra in the other. Maybe the problem they trouble with comes up in the final battle and he has to solve a problem and when he disarms or fixes whatever it is, Bob just says “wasn’t just math” while out of breath. idk I like that idea

Oh my goodness, THANK YOU DANNY!! For not only saying what the movie needed, but also for including that deleted neighborhood barbeque scene, I freakin' LOVE that clip. If they had revolved the themes of the sequel around Helen as you suggested, it would've been a really good parallel from the first film's opening. Elastigirl's intro makes her relatable as a woman in a male dominated profession, so understandably her mind is far away from raising a family and giving up what she loves doing. But if the deleted scene had been the opening for the sequel, just as the first film's interview was our intro to Elastigirl the hero, this would've been our intro to Helen Parr, first time mom and former hero, making a stance for women like herself who held similar views like that snobby neighbor but have matured.

[@kincaidmccawley8925]

Hey Danny I’ve thought about some of the things and here’s how to do some changes to Incredibles 2 first the Villian the villian is called Medusa and has stone powers it’s basically the same thing some character same ties to the plot except for one detail. During the robbery Elsstigirl shows up and saves her and her brother but Elastigirl fails to save her dad. Also their could be some scenes where Medusa does make her choose who to save and one of the biggest examples of that would be at the climax. So elastigirl is holding on too a train full of people while Medusa is fighting Dash and Violet don’t ask how we got here we just are. So then Medusa manages to capture Violet and starts tiring her to stone so Dash runs over to help his sister and Medusa starts turning him into stone Medusa tells elastigirl she now has to chooses between saving her children or saving the train full of people. Elastigirl tries to pull up the train but realizes she can’t then Elastigirl tries to release one limb to maybe hit Medusa put she can’t as she’s putting everything she has just to hold the train up the screams of the people in the train are heard along with the screams of Dash and Violet trying desperately to get out put they can’t both the kids start crying and so does Elastigirl because she doesn’t know what to do finally with tears running down her face she says I’m sorry, I’m so sorry and she lets go off the train and the people scream as they plummet to their death then Elastigirl grabs Medusa and snaps her neck saving Dash and Violet and they all hug as it is revealed that everyone watched the train fall. So that’s what would’ve liked to do I’m sorry if it’s not that good grammatically and thank you for reading this.

[@RedRaven95]

I was disappointed the moment I figured out the villain. It was so painfully obvious that I got bored while watching the movie in theaters.

[@tabiusthompson8101]

During the development of the first film the villain was supposed to be a guy named Xerek who was Elastigirl’s ex boyfriend who was obsessed with her maybe he could be the villain you talked about and be just be re worked. Like he could be someone who she saved but in the process didn’t save his wife and then He blames her and becomes obsessed with her and becomes the riddler/joker type villain you mentioned. Just a thought though awesome video.

I feel like dash needed more overall attention in the whole movie because it just seems that he didn’t get enough screen shots

[@z2yn]

What I would have loved to see is them tackling a very complex matter - somebody who does bad things in the name of good. Basically give the movie a villain that constantly displays that the government is incompetent and the police failing while the superheroes are their biggest asset. This would have been an interesting challenge - the heroes have a chance to get legalized again if the public realizes that their current protectors fail them; so they have to ask themselves whether to accept the help of a villain doing bad things for a good reason or to stop the villain.

Disney/Pixar is going through a pretty rough patch right now in terms of quality, so while I would like to see an 'Incredibles 3' at some point, I'd prefer they wait another few years. That being said, what would I want? I think I'd want them to go up against someone who wasn't directly tied to them. Syndrome was a deranged superhero fanboy; Screenslaver was hated superheroes - there's not much more to be done with that theme. I'd like to see the family go up against a more traditional, money-and-power based supervillain - or, better yet, let's have our cake and eat it, too. Have them go up against a traditional supervillain FAMILY. Picture this. There's been a timeskip (which I agree with you needs to happen), and the kids are taking more active roles. Jack-Jack is now the 'Dash' of the family, the hyperactive little kid (I would tone down the all-the-powers business, making that more of a super-baby thing that goes away as you get older - but still let him keep one or two powers that are really, REALLY powerful, like laser-vision that could blow up a mountain if he's not careful; something like that, so he's still a handful); Dash himself is kind of like a 'Johnny Storm' type, a cocky teenager who's maybe a LITTLE too full of himself, and Violet is going to community college, but still living at home. Bob and Helen are staying a bit more in the background these days, with Helen usually being a bit more of a 'mission coordinator', keeping everyone connected through a camera/microphone set-up, while Bob still goes out into the field to play backup. Frozone also still helps out from time to time when he can, but he's recently started focusing on climbing the corporate ladder (we never did find out what his job was, and he seems fairly well off, so it's not too implausible), so he can't always make it. Bob is struggling with the fact that he's now in late middle age, and just can't handle the action stuff the way he used to - he's just a little bit too old to just work out a lot and make a comeback, like he did in the first film. Sure, he's still a superhero, and he loves being a superhero, and he loves that his kids are superheroes, but all he really wants to do is get back into the thick of the action again, and he can't really do that anymore. What's more, Dash and Violet are growing a bit apart from him, as kids tend to do when they get older and start having lives of their own; Helen just doesn't want to go through all this business again, and he worries that their marriage might be in trouble, and his relationship with Frozone has started to go downhill lately because he thinks he recognizes some of the soulless corporate attitude in him that made his life so miserable in the first movie (and secretly, Frozone himself is a little worried that Bob might have a point). His relationship with Jack-Jack (though just 'Jack' now) is still good, since his youngest hero-worships his dad, and often acts as his 'sidekick', but he's worried that he's not living up to his son's elevated image of him (especially since Jack himself is now vastly more powerful than he is). Overall, poor ol' Bob is just not doing too well at the moment. Fortunately, he finds a new pal - another guy about his age who he runs into on the golf course or something, and gets into a conversation with. This guy (let's call him 'Al') also has a family, and relates completely to what Bob tells him about his own. Bob thinks he may have run across another superhero, though, of course, he can't just ask him outright about it. (I'd have it be, not only incautious, but a major social faux pas to directly reveal your secret identity - society still has some issues from back in the 'superheroes were illegal' days.) So the two families start hanging out, and they get along like a house on fire. They have barbecues together; Dash gets a major crush on Al's daughter, etc. Both families, though, are just a little cagey with the other about certain aspects of their lives, and Bob figures that this is proof positive that they're both super-families. A good thing, too, because a legendary villain team has recently been tearing up the city, and the Incredibles could use the help. (Frozone is of little help there, because he's super-miffed with Bob right now - Al is a major rival of his at work, and he feels hurt that his oldest friend is taking his enemy's side.) You can probably guess where this is going, right? Yep. It turns out that, when Bob finally confronts Al about teaming up together, that Al and his family are, in fact, supervillains. THEY'RE the Team Evil that's been raiding Metroville, and now that they know that the Parrs are actually the Incredibles, the scene is set for a major showdown. Except that both sides now regard the other as friends. What's to be done? I think you could get into some really interesting territory with a premise like that. Growing old, father-son relationships, friendships getting strained with time, teenage problems - and, of course, the age-old hero/villain dichotomy. I would throw in lots of little conversations between the two families that show the difference between their two viewpoints: they both believe in keeping their families safe and doing what's best, but it turns out that while Bob believes in doing the right thing for both his family and the community, Al believes in doing the right thing for his family and loved ones first and foremost, which for him means making sure they're sitting pretty with as much money and power as possible. The two positions are actually pretty close in some ways, but there are important differences - some good stuff to chew on there, I'd say.

It was really cool to hear your thoughts on this movie, and what they could had added to it. Though I think why some themes were dropped were due to production issues, things behind the scenes, that kind of stuff (like with any great movie that gets a sequel) and how they wanted to go about it. Also, I'm going to be a devil's advocate in saying that I (and probably others) would like to know what your fave moments/characters in the first and second movie of Indrectibles are, and what you'd like if they do make a 3rd Incredibles movie. My fav character is Edna because she is perfect in both films and no one will change my mind on that.

[@eatatjoes6751]

Actually, there is a theme: how the story stretches its flat plot to fit Elastigirl and no one else.

[@VictorJimenez-jq9im]

Your ideas are really good!! ❤

[@Zeddo_Star]

You may be late with this video but I haven’t even seen the second movie 😎

[@zachryder3150]

You only missed out on some great visuals. Beyond that you missed nothing.

[@The_Average_Enjoyer]

One thing that both movies have in common is that the main villain never has powers, I think for the third movie having a actual super powered individual be the bad guy is a good idea because it would allow for them to be able to actually just beat up the main characters and make them more intimidating. Also as far as we’ve seen there hasn’t been any real SUPER villains, only SUPER hero’s. Like isn’t it strange that EVERY single person with powers just HAPPENS to be a hero.

[@basilnottheherb]

Love when you get deep into this stuff

[@aesubar7835]

Sorry but is it banana fish ending theme at the back ground. I was so distracted by it that I can't focus after 11:17 Edit: 13:05 Omg and now its sasageyo. I was trying to ignore the music but I can't unhear it lol (I love your music preferences btw)

[@kuramasgirl96]

And now I want to write a fanfiction based around your plot edits.

[@steveallen4947]

Oh my god THANK YOU. As someone that has always cherished the first Incredibles as one of my favourite movies (animated or otherwise), the second one was good...but something was missing I couldn't quite articulate. So thank you for hitting five consecutive nails right on the head and also coming up with solutions so good, I feel robbed of the Incredibles 2 that could have been. Incred-...I mean, amazing video x

[@thecreatorofthedark]

Am I the only one who finds it weird that after banning heros, villains didn't just make them regret it?

[@fionna_cool_girl]

I remember watching this for the first time with my cousins and we were all equally as disappointed in this movie over the entire plot and how the characters don't get much development at all. Not saying it's a horrible movie, far from it, but it should've strived for more.

[@dylansharp8471]

"and how the characters don't get much development at all" I remember that differently.

[@redballoon9007]

The characters did get developed but it just didn’t feel earned.

[@LajidimusPrime]

This was a fantastic analysis. Well done

[@craftedorange585]

Did anyone else notice on the first movie at the beginning when Mr Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone were doing interviews Mr. Incredible said it would be nice if he could settle down and have a family while Elastigirl said she wouldn’t want to quit. Then when supers were forced into hiding Bob is the one who wants to be a hero again while Helen doesn’t

[@marcodoestuffnew327]

Very well thought out!

[@lila44411]

I love the Sword Art Online opening playing softly in the background in lofi form. Nice choice :)

[@wynnt1]

Gosh yes! All your ideas are such a gold mine of potential! I think the second was good and didn't feel like a soulless cashgrab, but there defienly could have been more. It was kinda like a oneshot in a series - something to chew on between the next big installment. But who knows, maybe if there's a third it'll nail the soul and themes without the "haha social commentary" vibes that the Screenslaver felt like it more or less embodied

[@neilstone3583]

I would actually like a Incredibles TV series dealing with more supers maybe exploring the history of how supers came about was it a my hero academia situation where somome was just born with powers one day? I think this could be a focus of maybe a third movie like Bob is sent back in time and he has to team up with you parents who were supers themselves maybe even some of the first. Or it could be the focus of a first season and the rest of the family is trying to get Bob back to their time and things keep changing. We find out at the end of the first season that the time line was been very damaged and now in season two the family is going to have to fix everything. This is just an idea though, but it is stupid I know"

[@daviddasilva7009]

Im just... wow. Dude your hilarious tiktoks got me into your channel but like.... WELL THOUGHT, IN DEPTH ANALYSES OF AMAZING MOVIES, SHOWS AND GAMES???? THAT SHIT GOT ME S T A Y I N G DUDE! Your stuff rules man :)))

Welcome to the fam!

[@dayanieanand3428]

It's almost scary how much I though of all these things you just said best still great video good job😁

[@coltonpiper6156]

The dash and his super speed making it difficult to focus on stuff reminds me of My Hero Academia and how powers usually have an affect on the person’s personality. One guy says that “powers should be accepted, is a nice message, but more often then not it affects a persons personality which the would is willing to accept.” Which I thought was pretty cool.

[@thebeaniebean]

two incredibles videos??? damn ty danny 😊

[@darkling2272]

Well the problem with this movie is that it is not the dark knight

[@jessecrafts2630]

if they make a 3rd movie i could picture in it would be a group of villains that mirror the incredibles

[@piffny6666]

15:57 you doing alright there Danny? You want to talk about it?

[@caitlinjohannessen3672]

Glad I’m not the only one whose dad is always forgetting how old his kids are😅

[@lisaroper421]

Loved your commentary!

[@juliac9279]

I definitely enjoyed watching the second one more in theaters (not really a fair comparison I don’t remember the first time I watched the first one) but the first one will always be my favorite. The soundtrack, the themes, how everything just overlaps and fits together nicely, the action and superheroes, how you don’t appreciate all that until you’re older. My two favorite Disney movies both happen to be superhero ones, the incredibles, and big hero 6... which you should definitely check out. It takes place in a mix of San Francisco and Tokyo, has beautiful animation, amazing characters, is emotional and dark, and it’s about some tech geniuses so I guess I’m bias since I’m interested in engineering. I checked out your channel and I think you would like it

[@codyyuku4173]

I agree with every change. There was something missing. Took inspiration from the Dark Knight. Relatable.

[@pixxelwizzard]

Incredibles 2 was one of the most disappointing sequels ever. So sad.

[@nalaka3488]

I honestly thought the movie would have been better with Bob also being a hero, instead of just staying home. I feel like he didn't have a real part in the story. He just feels sidelined

[@JooshWii]

I think this movie gets way too much hate. If it wasn’t hyped to the point it was I’m sure it would have been MUCH better received

[@mattdovale]

I just remember being disappointed that they made the underminer such a small part of the movie, but thats probably because my brother and i loved the rise of the underminer game for the xbox so much

[@adrianvulpes9509]

Mr. Incredible doesn’t have superhuman strength, but superhuman endurance which has the side effect of giving him superhuman strength. This is shown in the test short where he’s paying more attention to his wife defending parenthood to the point of nearly blowing their cover, and not to the steel butcher knife he’s cutting meat at the cookout with. He brings down the blade onto his fingers and a lady screams in horror, snapping him back to the reality that he bent the steel around his fingers, so he has to quickly find ketchup and throw the damaged knife away so nobody realizes they are retired superheroes. Back to the Dash lesson you were mentioning, he could teach his son that he isn’t super strong by intentionally trying to chop his fingers off with a steel butcher knife to the detriment of his blade. Then, he could say that he has his limits, showing the tungsten omnidroid scar that he got in the cut from the last film. Then show Dash that the important thing is to know your limits, but look to surpass them beyond what you think is possible, and that the way to do that isn’t always the easiest or the most obvious way of to do things. Case in point, Bob couldn’t figure out his son’s math because they changed it, but he doesn’t give up. He figures out why it changed, the differences between the two systems and how to translate his math skills to the homework. Dash And Bob figure out how Dash thinks through trial and error, and they eventually get Dash to pass the test, adding to Bob’s arc of learning to be less stubborn by stubbornly flexible by looking for a different perspective on things like, for instance, his family. Plus, Dash could help Bob with this using his ADHD, using turning his inability to stay focused on one problem into the ability to chip away at a bunch of small parts of problems of a bigger goal. Also, I came up with this Venn diagram of their roles based on D&D: Bob * Defender: A class specialized in taking hits well, such as by having high armor class and hit points. The goal of the defender is to be the target of enemy attacks, protecting the rest of the party. In popular video game terminology, this is known as a "tank". * Striker: A class specialized in dealing high damage to an individual target; a concept known in video games "DPS". * Controller: A class specialized in effects which damage or hinder multiple enemies; "crowd control" or "CC", in better-known video game parlance. Helen * Defender: A class specialized in taking hits well, such as by having high armor class and hit points. The goal of the defender is to be the target of enemy attacks, protecting the rest of the party. In popular video game terminology, this is known as a "tank". * Striker: A class specialized in dealing high damage to an individual target; a concept known in video games "DPS". * Leader: A class specialized in healing or otherwise supporting allies; a "healer" or "support" class. Violet * Defender: A class specialized in taking hits well, such as by having high armor class and hit points. The goal of the defender is to be the target of enemy attacks, protecting the rest of the party. In popular video game terminology, this is known as a "tank". * Controller: A class specialized in effects which damage or hinder multiple enemies; "crowd control" or "CC", in better-known video game parlance. * Leader: A class specialized in healing or otherwise supporting allies; a "healer" or "support" class. Dash * Striker: A class specialized in dealing high damage to an individual target; a concept known in video games "DPS". * Controller: A class specialized in effects which damage or hinder multiple enemies; "crowd control" or "CC", in better-known video game parlance. * Leader: A class specialized in healing or otherwise supporting allies; a "healer" or "support" class.

I just notice he has an eyebrow more to the side than the other and I cant unsee it now. Btw great video!

[@tricksune9946]

I just wanna see Gazerbeam, Gamma Jack and Macroburst in action. Atleast we got Voyd literally the memorable one.

[@SonicPlayer2004]

They were killed by Syndrome.

[@BlueRoseShilloh]

One thing that annoyed me in this movie was that the underminer was only used as a connecting piece, like seriously they could have kept the underminer and worked with that instead of the stupid screenslaver………..

[@LikeSoTotallyRandom]

Holy shit I'm so sad we didn't get your version. It's so much better

[@xexeed1363]

surprisingly insightful

[@davidcoleman5437]

I can tell that this was not Brad Bird's original idea. To me, it feels like somebody threatened him to alternate the tone and story a bit since the first movie was "dark", "mature", or "violent" according to some parents.

[@themindeclectic9821]

Disappointing is a better way to put it. I see people calling it horrible all the time and to that, I do not agree. But it wasn't remarkable, and it certainly was not a worthy successor to the incredible (pun acknowledged but not intended) movie it came from.

[@maravreloaded]

A wasted opportunity was to give Dash a new power. I mean Violet has 2 (invisibility and force fields) and JackJack is a plot device with diapers. Imagine he could clone by going so fast there are multiple of him. Or just do something with the character unlike in the real movie.

[@isaacsilva8045]

The Incredibles 2 should have been them grown up. As soon as I got home from watching the first one, I couldn't wait to see Dash all grown up with super speed in the second one.......but I cry instead
