The pattern of question they were using for that setup just reminded me of an X-Men
low point and begged for the melodramatic answer of "The same thing that happens to anything else..."
Thank god for the young hot Chris Evans.
I bought a
Batman Begins
ticket, watched those trailers, and then went into F4. Which means -- I got to see the
Serenity
trailer! Also,
Zorro 2
and
The Transporter 2.
And
Sky High
twice. Seems like they may have expended all the funny scenes in that one. It's going to be a while before I look at movies like that without asking "So what do you have to offer that
Spy Kids
and
The Incredibles
haven't already done really well?"
That was my exact reaction to the Sky High trailer, ita. I leaned over to Consuela and said, "so it's a live action Incredibles. Yawn."

I bet that Billie Piper's kicking herself for wedding the wrong one. Poor lass.

That was kind of my reaction to F4, actually. (Except for the part where the F4 characters predate the Incredibles, but they do have almost the exact same set of powers, and the Incredibles did them better. Also, the Incredibles had a plot.)
Re: Sky High
Kurt Russell's career really has gone full circle, hasn't it?
For me, powers aren't what made
The Incredibles The Incredibles.
It was the dynamic. The alienation of the younger generation, the discovery that they aren't that different from their parents after all, and participating in their rescue and the whole unity thing.
Spy Kids
and
The Incredibles
did the same thing, but differently, and entertainingly. Which matches the
Sky High
trailer, and isn't at all similar to F4. I don't know how many times they can go to that well.
ita's making me want a Spy Kids DVD again. I keep resisting because it actually markets "interactive menu" as a special feature, which annoys. Want special edition!
