Incredibles 2 Poster


Cquote1

Bob: I've got to succeed! So she can succeed. So we can succeed!

Cquote2


Incredibles 2 is Pixar's twentieth film, and was released in 2018. It is an Immediate Sequel to The Incredibles, which was released 14 years prior.

Everyone’s favorite family of superheroes is back, but this time Helen is in the spotlight, leaving Bob at home with the kids to navigate the day-to-day heroics of "normal" life. It's a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack's emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone must find a way to work together again — which is easier said than done, even when they're all Incredible.

A billionaire in charge of a massive tech company hatches a plan to make Supers legal again. Elastigirl must take down the Screenslaver, and in doing so, convince the public and lawmakers that Supers deserve to be legal. Meanwhile, Bob struggles to manage the kids, with all three having problems of their own.

  • Brick Joke:
    • When the Parrs first arrive at Winston's "spare" house, Bob is initially very impressed with the "water feature" when Dash plays around with the house's decorative indoor ponds. A few days later, when Bob is looking for the remote to his Incredibile, he falls into one of the decorative indoor ponds. After getting out, he mumbles "Stupid water feature!"
    • At the end of the credits, the Underminer's tunnel drilling machine emerges from the bottom of the screen and drives away.

  • Designated Girl Fight
    • Aboard Winston's Everjust superyacht, Violet and a hypnotised Voyd fight, with Voyd trying to place a pair of hypno-goggles on Violet as requested by Evelyn. Violet manages to kick Voyd away, and escape back to her brothers to search for their parents and Frozone.
    • The Final Battle between Elastigirl and Evelyn.

F-K[]

  • Failed Attempt at Drama: After learning that Tony's memories were wiped, Violet has a huge temper tantrum. She tries to destroy her supersuit by throwing it into the garbage disposal and then biting it, while declaring she renounces heroism. As the supersuit is nigh indestructible, it just flails about comically. When her efforts fail, she throws it against the wall and storms off in a huff.
  • Fan Service Pack: Elastigirl was redesigned to be more buxom and toned, and Violet has slightly wider hips and longer hair than in the first movie. Moreover, Violet and Tony received improved designs.

  • Gone Horribly Right: While Rick Dicker was able to erase Tony's memory of seeing Violet in her supersuit, the memory-wiping machine also removed all memories he had of her, including their upcoming date. This results in Violet being depressed and angry for most of the second act.
  • Have You Told Anyone Else?: Said almost word-for-word to Tony by Dicker in regards to Tony seeing Violet in her supersuit.
  • Heartbreak and Ice Cream: After Tony showed Violet up as a result of the memory wipe, she eats ice cream and sobs.
  • Hypno Trinket: Evelyn's hypno-goggles.
  • Heroes Gone Fishing: The last scene has the Parrs go to the movie theater with Tony, as part of Violet's second attempt at a date with him.
  • Immediate Sequel: The first film ended with the Parrs about to confront the Underminer, with this film starting with said confrontation.
  • I Never Said It Was Poison: Bob talks to Violet about the old days of his friend Rick Dicker erasing the memories of anyone discovering his or Helen's secret identity. Violet figures out Bob had Dicker erase Tony's memory.
