Got a question for y’all. What is one media that you watched as a kid that was marketed for kids, but didn’t realize until years later that it was more for/would be appreciated more by adults? It can’t just be from your childhood, it has to be marketed towards kids, so it can’t be something like “Hellsing” or “The Mummy”.
My answer: The Incredibles
* Calls out insurance companies for screwing over people
* Main villain gets chopped up by an engine
* Bob and Helen’s conflict is written like a cheating plot, with Mirage as the “mistress”
* Bob’s main arc is basically a mid-life crisis
* That one uncomfortable scene where Bob and Helen are arguing about Bob’s mid-life crisis and that he’s neglecting his son, which ends up scaring the kids
* The level of violence. We got an attempted suicide, dozens of supers are violently killed off-screen, the villain gets chopped into pieces, gunfire, kids getting attacked, and so on

Pixar did not have to go as hard as they did with the Kronos Unveiled scene in The Incredibles (2004), yet they did anyway and gave us one of the best scenes in modern cinema. Literally cannot stop thinking about how good this scene is, from the animation to the build up to the soundtrack.
I don’t think I truly understood how dark this scene - and this film - was a child: Syndrome is systematically and strategically luring in superheroes and killing them off in order to test and improve his Omnidroid design… these people were not only supers but they also had family and loved ones too, just like Bob, and one day they would have just disappeared because chances are they weren’t telling people where they were going because it was "top secret" and against the law. They thought they were doing something good, like helping the people in the island, while also getting to relive their glory days, perhaps even paving the way for superheroes to make a proper comeback… only for Syndrome to kill them in cold blood.
Most of these people can actually be seen at Bob and Helen’s wedding in the beginning of the film - they weren’t just random supers, they were their friends, people they worked alongside and cared about. It’s even worse when you realise that Bob probably blames himself because, after all, Buddy/Syndrome was his biggest fan and he dismissed him by not letting him help.
The relief on Bob’s face when he realises Syndrome doesn’t know where Helen is - meaning he also doesn’t know where their children are because he didn’t realise they were married at this point - is so realistic and gut wrenching to see. The relief contrasting with the anguish of knowing how much danger they and their entire family could have been in the entire time without even knowing...it's so well-done, you can literally feel it.
It’s also worth noting that originally the next target wasn’t Mr Incredible but Frozone - that was who Mirage was trailing, hence why his location is “known”. Imagine if she/Syndrome hadn’t realised that Mr Incredible was with him and they’d lured Frozone in instead as planned; he would have gone to the island to fight the Omnidroid 8 in a volcano setting. We saw how being in the burning building dehydrated Frozone and made it impossible to use his ice powers - presumably it would have been the same in the middle of a lava filled volcano, and he’d have been slaughtered just like the other superheroes before him.
This scene shows an entire generation of superheroes - Bob, Helen and Lucius’ generation - wiped out all because Syndrome felt slighted by his hero as a child, because he internalised that slight and let it drive him to revenge. And, if we take into account the deleted alternate opening scene, it’s mentioned that superheroes "aren't supposed to breed” - meaning there’s a likelihood that Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack are among the very few supers of the next generation. I know that it's deleted and so not really canon, but it's definitely a concept to consider, I think.
Then there's the fact Syndrome named the project "Kronos" - Kronos was a God who overthrew his own father in order to take over his rule, and then he ate his own children to prevent them doing the same thing to him. It feels like it reflects Syndrome once looking up to Mr Incredible and even saying "I could be your ward!", meaning Mr Incredible adopting or fostering him - the project name is a metaphor for Syndrome destroying the Supers, especially Mr Incredible, who he viewed as a father figure. The Omnidroids he built killed two birds with one stone: not only was he able to acquire the data to upgrade the robot to its final design, but it also eliminated the real super heroes and so left him as the last remaining "superhero", even though his powers are man-made, not something he was born with.
Not only did he want to become the only remaining superhero by killing the real ones in revenge, he also planned to sell his inventions at some point so everyone can be super - because "when everyone is super, nobody is". It's like a final blow to the memory of the superheroes he had killed.
I've talked too much about this scene but God... I love it so much more as an adult because it's just so chilling to think about. I'm sure other people can put it much more articulately than I just tried to, but I just really wanted to appreciate this scene.

You guys ever think about how Mr.Incredible is one of Disney/Pixar’s saddest character?
Like it’s the night of your wedding, you save the day same as usual but the next day you discover you are the final nail in the Superhero coffin. Supers are outlawed, hundreds are loosing their jobs because YOU did your job and saved a man.
It’s years later and you and your family have gone into witness protection essentially. House after house, school after school, all to fit in to this world. You get fired and you get a note offering you a high paying job. Finally! You get to be a hero again AND support your family. Your bonding with them again, getting into shape, everything is perfect!
Then it happens, you find out that this program was designed for you. To kill you. And it’s been tested on hundreds of supers before you, all to kill YOU. And this whole plan was concocted by the one boy you turned your back on that night.
This villain of your own making.
Because if you your friends lost their jobs. And now, they’ve lost their lives.
And of course Bob has to realize all that, his whole world crashing down on him. Next thing you know, you’re tied up by the psychopath you made and he, supposedly, kills your wife and children who were coming to rescue you.
Just a tragic story.

Uh Incredibles art because Twitter talking about it inspired me. I love when people draw the Parr kids (as adults) in their parents old supersuits. I've seen other artists do it I don't remember where i saw it but it's super cute

I seriously hope that the end of chapter 7 isn't the end of the game. I will cry myself to sleep if this is the case. I was not mentally prepared to see Jamil close his eyes like that, or Malleus start humming Once Upon a Dream all happily like that.

I missed18th anniversary of the Incredibles, so here’s some Incredibles content.
(it’s mostly Syndrome because...)
Grab the scruff.
Rick 210% done with Syndrome’s BS.
Winston and Buddy would be friends if Syndrome wasn’t... Syndrome. Winston will not stand for it and will let Syndrome know.
What are they thinking?
It’s a funny idea I wanted to sketch down, “What if sidekick? and What if transportation?”
I always love making Incredibles content, I might be down for some suggestions related to Incredibles art. Idk, let me know and I might draw it.
