Incredibles 2 is Painfully Average

Glad to see that people like this movie, but it just didn't do it for me. Here's why

Before anyone else comments "Of course you didn't like it, you're an adult judging a movie made for kids", let me just say that there's this one movie that was made for kids, and I still consider it excellent, even as an adult. It's called "The Incredibles"

The Incredibles: Villian makes fun of monologuing cliché
Incredible 2 Villian: monologues
The Incredibles: Am I a joke to you?

This whole ordeal would have been avoided if the dad put the phones in the safe room

[dancegirl]

“The Screenslaver is still out there”

Yeah. Still is the UNDERMINER. Who got away in the FIRST SCENE

[CharlesVDoktaur]

Biggest disappointment was that The Underminer isn’t the main villain.

[lunehowls]

Can we talk about how this movie is called "Incredibles 2" and not "THE Incredibles 2"?

[andyb]

You missed a great opportunity to say "The Incredibles 2 is a great movie and sequel" and then play the teacher from the original movie yelling "*I THINK NOT!*"

[Smogget]

They literally named the villain Evelyn Dever...Evil Endeavor
FOURTEEN YEARS I WAITED FOR THIS SEQUEL PIXAR AND YOU GIVE ME THIS

*MATH IS MATH*
the most iconic line ever.

[returnedtomonkey]

"You sly dog, you got me monologing."
For that line alone syndrome became s tier villain.

I’ve never wanted a movie to be delayed by another year. I just wanna quote “Too late! 15 years too late.”

[OfficialAshArcher]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who HATED the designs of the new supers. They didn’t even look human. It was way too comical and jarring

[madsceptictrooper]

Fun fact: I was hyping up for both Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet and I was cynical towards Spider-Verse because its studio made The Emoji Movie. But both of them ended up disappointing me and Spider-Verse subverted my expectations in the best and outstanding way.

Most of the new superheroes sucked, especially the Fortnite Guy and the "Chad" Clopin. "Chad" Clopin's character desing is so laughably bad.

How the hell is mr incredible Able to lift an entire train but not able to bend a hollow pipe

[DanSmith-ewul]

I was disappointed that Dash didn’t get a arc like the other members of the family.

[quesadeeowl]

Sad fact: most of the people who worked on this died like the voice actor for mirage, and rick dicker have died before the sequal rip :'(

[ReanaIsHere]

Don’t forget how Violet literally sounds older than her mom lol

[gigagaming]

I waited 14 years for a ‘Honey where’s my super suit?’

I am dissapoint.

[palix]

A thing that have buggered me is: How the fuck did the technology just made a jump of 14 years in one day?

I think I finally realized what bothers me about this movie.
TLDR: The 2nd movie discontinues the 1st's main themes of being stronger together by separating Elastigirl from her family for the majority of the film.

LONG explaination below.

In the first movie, Mr. Incredible/Bob has this whole complex about needing to do everything himself. He wants to keep his family safe, he doesn't want Helen to know he lost his job, so he secretly leaves on the mission.

When Elastigirl/Helen finds out what's really happening, she immediately sets out, leaving her kids behind - to keep them safe. Obviously, Violet and Dash sneak onto the plane anyway.

During his time on the island Mr. Incredible realizes he can't do everything alone, that he needs his family's support. And from the moment they all meet up, they continue to fight together through the climax with Syndrome.

Hell, even the final shot of the movie has them prepared to fight the Cool, right?

So to have a 2nd movie where Elastigirl leaves her family behind to do her own mission just feels so....pointless. Why not have them all set out on a mission together? If they wanted to spotlight Elastigirl, they could've gotten separated or something, in a way that doesn't diregard the entire 1st movie. Like sure, they all do come together at the end, but I wanted to see more of that throughout the film.

FWIW I enjoyed the 2nd. It's a good movie, just not a good sequal.

Anyway, that's my deal. If anyone has thoughts feel free to share.
