Well, invisibility plus force field is pretty unique, but otherwise, yeah.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

In the end though, they aren't the FF.
Are there are any other superhero families like the FF? I mean, I know there are lots of superheroes who are related, but I can't think of ones who actually fight as a family.
And a lot of their powers are pretty standard in superhero worlds.
Yeah, definitely.
I saw that The Incredible's abilities were more closely tied to their personalities.
That's interesting.
thinks
Or maybe their personalities developed out of their abilities.

I have a plan.

That could work both ways. For Dash he certainly seemed a reflection of his power. But he's also a little kid. Violet's power looked more like a reflection of her introverted self. I don't think she realized she was invisible when the cute boy at school looked at her early on in the movie. It seemed like that was an unconscious reaction.

Nah, I liked what you said.
I do like Elastigirl as a metaphor for the overextending mother, though. Although...is she? She didn't have a job, did she?

Just homemaker. But as was said in the beginning all the heroes have secret identities but we never get to see what they are before they're forced to retire.

Okay, okay, I'll go see the Incredibles. My arm can only twist so far.
...actually I'm just going as an excuse to see this one girl, but y'know, it'll be nice when I can actually participate in the ridiculous amount of Incredibles discussion on this board.

You haven't seen The Incredibles ? What the fuck is wrong with you?

That movie is so good, we're talking about it in the comics thread!

I've been thinking about how much I like it, because I was thinking maybe I thought Finding Nemo better, but lately I'm thinking it may be better because I can identify with superheroes better than fish. Finding Nemo may be funnier, though.
And my disbelief is heightened by the fact that I thought an old-school comics fan like Broomy would surely have seen it by now.
