Mr. Incredible: The robot’s in the financial district. Which exit do I take?
Elastigirl: Traction Avenue.
Mr. Incredible: That’ll take me downtown. I take Seventh, don’t I?
Elastigirl: Don’t take Seventh!
Mr. Incredible: Great, we missed it!
Elastigirl: You asked me how to get there and I told you. Exit at Traction!
Mr. Incredible: That’ll take me downtown!
Elastigirl: It’s coming up, get in the right lane! Signal!
Mr. Incredible: We don’t exit at Traction!
Elastigirl: YOU’RE GONNA MISS IT!
[Mr. Incredible yanks the wheel over and careens down the exit]
I liked the first film. Syndrome was a great example of how even a small line can alter a persons entire life.
Pretty much sums up my thoughts on the movie. I wanted to see a sequel in around 2006-2007 however leaving it 15 years is too much.
I get why they did that, have those who watched Incredibles grow up and feed off the nostalgia and the idea they likely have kids of their own to take to see the film… but its just insulting how long its taken.
Come to think of it it’s about time that ridiculous cliffhanger at the end of the first one got wrapped up.
Though the weird gopher man wasn’t really that much of an engaging plot twist as much as a device.
It’s better than that.
As a family film, the incredibles was, and soon will be, watched mostly by younger children and their 30-40 year old parents, the film was such a success however that Pixar knew that they could massively multiply their revenue just be waiting, for what? For the original viewers to be getting into their twenties. The film is such a classic that younger children and their parents will watch it, and the original viewers will also want to watch it since they liked it so much as kids.
1.5x multiplier on the revenue right there. Even my dad will probably watch it and he’ll be 50 by then.
I think I must have wrote my original comment wrong,
I referred to the ending as a plot device, by which I meant he was meant to be an excuse for the incredible story be incredibles rather than actual story, I only recently finished English lessons at school (for good this time), so the terminology was probably a bit too niche.
As for the 15 years thing, you had said the original viewers have kids now, I said the original viewers are at the stage in their lives when they would otherwise be least likely to watch this film, your statement would be more accurate had the film come in 2029.
The director said he would only make a sequel if it was at least as good as the original, so that’s why the delay makes sense.
Also, they made a video game based on the underminer.
I remember one robot saying “This device could turn the whole world upside-down”
Mr. Incredible replied with “you’re upside-down!”
Then a boss fight began.
