If they manage to make a scene better than "Where's my supersuit?" that would be incredible. (More Frozone pls).
[QUOTE=TheBorealis;53133018]I haven't seen the Incredibles in forever, are superhero powers really passed through genes in this universe? If so that makes a lot of questions about how the government made it essentially illegal to express yourself if you had certain genes. Hope the Incredibles 2 is great though, haven't really seen any Pixar stuff since Toy Story 3.[/QUOTE]
Doesn't Syndrome say in the first movie that people with powers aren't supposed to have children?
[QUOTE=ChickenMan99;53133442]Doesn't Syndrome say in the first movie that people with powers aren't supposed to have children?[/QUOTE]
Just watched the movie today, there's nothing about that in there
[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;53133361]I guess it just came from those preliminary plot details where they literally explained it as "it's like the first one, but now Helen is the one who has an adventure!" and I [B]know[/B] there's gonna be more to it, it's Brad Bird and Pixar, but it's still easy to read that as a red flag considering it's been a decade and I don't think [I]anyone[/I] expected that a sequel after this long would end up doing the Back to the Future 2 "it picks up the second the first one ended" bit (and even moreso with the "now the character dynamics are swapped and it's the mom who gets to reclaim her youth while dad stays home" thing).
I remember a thread on /co/ a while back where everyone discussed that incredible bit of world building they hid in the DVD special features (specifically about how there's a hero named Gamma Jack who all but outright states that he sleeps with his hot female nemeses before killing them for the government):
A lot of people were speculating a sequel that takes place after a time-skip where Gamma Jack ends up re-emerging as a villain (since his file describes him as a megalomaniac who views supers as a superior race). I even drafted up a potential storyline; it was all basically just people swapping fan-fic ideas, but it was still fun as hell :v:
If anyone here hasn't seen that special feature before, totally give it a watch, it really makes you respect the amount of thought and care that they put into the world-building for the first movie.[/QUOTE]
This really gets at what made the first Incredibles so damn good. It's so ambitious and does so much with its premise. My biggest fear with this new movie is that it plays it too safe.
Visually, though, this already looks stunning. It also reminded me of just how far ahead of its time the first movie was. Still holds up super well.
[QUOTE=ChickenMan99;53133442]Doesn't Syndrome say in the first movie that people with powers aren't supposed to have children?[/QUOTE]
That was scrapped storyboards that occur before the film. Eg: Bob and Helen only had 1 child at the time, an infant Violet.
Syndrome tracks them down to their home, and finds out they have a child, making some insidious threats.
I am simultaneously really really excited and really really worried. Please be good :saddowns:
[QUOTE=postal;53132995]i mean yea on one hand sure, maybe. on the other tho this has Bob Odenkirk who kinda feels like he's gonna be the surprise villain here, and also Jonathan Banks in it (sadly he's not in the trailer tho). I am so down for this just from that alone.[/QUOTE]
While I have my thoughts Winston Deavor is somehow involved with an evil plot, I'm more interested in his sister Evelyn as the main antagonist.
I usually detest babies in films, mainly because they are so stupidly predictably boring
Jack-jack however seems more than bearable.
And the rest of the film looks its going to be amazingly fun
i was really worried this would be the jack-jack film and drive me away as an og incredibles fan, but the plot seems really fun and interesting from what we've seen so far, very hyped.
maybe there should be a facepunch meetup in the uk to watch it at the imax in london since everone here's such a fan :thinking:
[QUOTE=redBadger;53133060]Fucks sake it's getting to the point where you can identify every single strand of hair. Where every motion creates a fluid and realistic wrinkle in clothing and you can even see the fucking pores on their damn skin, and even the small fabrics of cloth on their shirts.
Like god damn animation is getting beautiful.[/QUOTE]

This video makes you appreciate the work behind the movies a lot more than when you just watch a movie and think "I like how fluidly the octopus moves"
The only thing I didn't like about the trailer was that the last 10 seconds are the same 10 seconds of every single superhero trailer in the last.. 5 years or more?
Start a serious sentence, cut to slapstick gag, end the sentence, cut to someone laughing, someone facepalms, logo.
They did a good job with the new voice of Dash.
I hope there is a Spencer Fox (original Dash Voice) Easter egg Somewhere
I imagine they're not going to do a whole lot with Violet seeing as she was like the only one besides Bob to get a full character arc in the last movie.
It just looks great [I]visually[/I] compared to the first one, I'm really surprised how far Pixar's come in the last 14 years.

Specifically lighting and effects/dust/smoke at the same time, it's great
I friggin' adore Pixar. I love how you can see Bob getting crazier each scene, that's gonna be an explosion. This movie's guaranteed to be great.
I'd love to see a comic or novel or something that follows the original plans for the first movie, I remember watching the deleted scenes/animatics when I was a kid and it blew my mind how serious they were willing to go with it.
Some bits that got cut out/changed around for one reason or another:
-Opening sequence where Syndrome (established as an old nemesis) attacks Bob and Helen at home; this is where the "supers aren't supposed to breed" bit comes from, we also get a really tense bit where he has them frozen in place and slowly advances towards baby Violet's room.
-Another opening sequence where Bob and Helen attend a barbecue after being relocated again; Helen almost blows their cover when she tells off a smug bitch for acting all condescending towards being a stay-at-home mom. Bob gets distracted and accidentally smacks himself in the hand with a meat cleaver and they have to pretend like he lost his fingers.
-An extended version of the scene where Helen finds the hair on Bob's uniform; originally, they had a full-on conversation where she outright asks "are you cheating on me". Bob points out that the hair was silver and says something to the effect of "OH YEAH I SAW AN OLD BAG LADY AT THE STORE AND I JUST HAD TO HAVE HER." It's impressively uncomfortable.
-The pilot, Snug, was originally the one who flew the plane. He dies when Violet fails to put a force field around the plane. REALLY FUCKING DARK.
I feel like The Incredibles might be the Pixar movie that went through the most conceptual changes in pre-production, aside from maybe Toy Story. Always fascinating to compare where they started with what we got, you can't help but wonder "what if".
[QUOTE=TheBorealis;53133069]Wow I had no idea Patton Oswalt was the boss,[/QUOTE]
That isn't Patton Oswalt, it's Wallace Shawn. Who also voiced Rex in Toy Story.
I'm cautiously optimistic. I've been simultaneously waiting and fearing that this day would come - but it looks character driven, which is definitely encouraging.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;53133890]That isn't Patton Oswalt, it's Wallace Shawn. Who also voiced Rex in Toy Story.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, and the Underminer is Hamm’s VA
I trust Pixar and, perhaps more importantly, Brad Bird.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;53133890]That isn't Patton Oswalt, it's Wallace Shawn. Who also voiced Rex in Toy Story.[/QUOTE]
Lol how did I not notice I watched Shawn in DS9
[QUOTE=Gamerman12;53133041](i mean this film universe is kinda what would happen if the 50s/60s continued on, fallout style)[/QUOTE]
Apparently Brad Bird confirmed it's in the 60s, and you can see Bob read a 1962 newspaper (saw this from the wiki page on the connected pixar timeline from a video about buy-n-large from that channel you linked, lol what a theory, think I saw it years ago but I didn't know the creator fits each new movie in it)

fucking hell, as an animator i can't even begin to imagine the amount of thought that goes into every movement for that octopus. massive credit.
The trailer really makes it seem like "hey it's like the first movie but reversed!" but I have hope that this will be good.
They made Helen look even better in this movie
