One-dimensional feminist pap.

Won’t hold a candle to the original.

One of my favorite kid movies is the original. Watched it many times with the kids. The new one, maybe with the Grand-kids! lol

That’s what makes The Incredibles 2 a superhero movie to get excited for: It’s a family story that seems extra relevant in 2018.

Oh, boy. Political correctness ruins something else. EVERYTHING liberals get near they ruin. EVERYTHING. They should be banned from functional society and made to operate simple machinery and pick up garbage because that’s about all they’re good for (if that).

Back when National Review had my respect, they published a list of the top 25 conservative films. The Incredibles was one of them, IIRC. It is a good movie, positive and goes against the grain of “everyone gets a trophy” crap.

Lucius: Honey?

Honey: What?

Lucius: Where’s my super suit?

Honey: What?

Lucius: Where - is - my - super - suit?

Honey: I, uh, put it away.

[helicopter explodes outside]

Lucius: *Where*?

Honey: *Why* do you *need* to know?

Lucius: I need it!

[Lucius rummages through another room in his condo]

Honey: Uh-uh! Don’t you think about running off doing no derring-do. We’ve been planning this dinner for two months!

Lucius: The public is in danger!

Honey: My evening’s in danger!

Lucius: You tell me where my suit is, woman! We are talking about the greater good!

Honey: ‘Greater good?’ I am your wife! I’m the greatest *good* you are ever gonna get!

Seen the previews. Mr Incredible ends up a stay at home dad, while wife goes out and does superhero stuff.

“They keep coming up with new ways to celebrate mediocrity”

Our two oldest, 17 and 22, still love the original.

Before reading any other comments; just about every new show in the last 5-10 years has pushed strong feminist type women, gays (lesbians in particular), and/or portrays white men as weak and incapable. A literal 180 from before this era.

I have no problem with casting strong women as role models for young women growing up but I do have a problem with typecasting men, particularly white men, as weak and incapable. It’s a concerted effort from every corner of the leftist spectrum to dehumanize and belittle white men. It has not gone unnoticed.

First they came for the white men but others shrugged and said they weren’t a white man. Then they came for the white women but the white men no longer had a voice to object.... by the time they came for the white children it was all over with.

The DVD of the first movie includes some cut scenes, one of which has women at a picnic sneering at Helen for being a stay at home mother.

Jesus! why can’t they just leave this PC crap alone. It’s a kids movie. now they have to turn it into a feminist conquest thing. Indiana Jones is going to become a girl in the next sequel (per director)and on it goes. If women are truly superior why do we have to keep giving this superiority stuff all of the time.

They got to Star Wars, and now The Incredibles.

No thanks.

The New Gynocracy can generate its own box office.
