the difference between the incredibles and megamind is that the incredibles was known to be good from day 1 while megamind was a bit more of a cult classic (yes this is despicable me’s fault but shhh). the sequel just screams more cash grabby in this particular instance, especially because they weren’t even able to get two of the original vas and greenlit it anyway

the problem with incredibles 2 is that it completely ignores the underminer for all of the movie except 20m

The first Megamind was a peak subversion of the Superman and Lex Luther conflict, distinguishing these characters in a grand fashion. This sequel movie not only lacks the original voice actors, not only does the story look generic, but it also contradicts the first movie’s theming.

teacher: did you break it down?
me: oh shit my bad
me:
From the standpoint of people who watched the incredibles a decade ago and were adults by the time the second one came out, it is much worse than the original
For kids tho (which is also a big audience!!) i’d say they’re equal in Goodness?

The first Incredibles movie was begging for a sequel. We watched this family build as a team of superheroes, who at first had to hide their powers and then grew to demonstrate their capabilities in public, not waiting a moment to put on their masks the second the Underminer emerged, and we wanted to see how they could progress to act as a family.
The titles of these movies tease this concept (“Mr Incredible” to “The Incredibles”), but the cliffhanger is diluted, the characters are regressed, the world progression is undone (why were the Incredibles praised after launching the mech into the side of the building during the first movie, but condemned after saving lives and mitigating damage property in the second?). It just looks cool.
