It just seems to me that all the things people liked about The Incredibles where the things that were stolen from the comics I pointed out before. The central villain is a compilation of every comic book fan stereotype, which has then been ramped up, and set loose on the audience perception of a fanboy. Froze 0 and Mr. Incredible's reminiscences of fights are about how fundamentally stupid the hero/villain conflict is. Don't even get me started on how The Incredible family, including their children, kill people. Find me at comic con. I'll be happy to talk about it more, then. I'm really friendly, even when you disagree with me.

Labelling these types of films as satire or spoof is an insult to those terms. None of them come close to the quality of classics like Airplane. I do have to say that Meet the Spartans and Superhero have been just a bit better than the ones which were released in the previous couple of years.

Snide? Not for a moment. If it were I'd have hated it. his film embraced superheros as something to admire, and portrayed those against heroes as being wrong-headed. Mr. Incredible was driven to help people. When he was forced to standby and see someone mugged, he lost it completely. The characterization in this film was so much better than the forced dialogue in the Fantastic Four movies. The CGI characters in he Incredibles were more real that the live action characters in the FF movies.

Are they not, in fact, the same exact thing done over and over? "Scary Movie" "Not Another Teen Movie" "Superhero Movie" What do these people expect?

“Scary Movie”
“Not Another Teen Movie”
“Superhero Movie”

What do these people expect?

It was more like a loving homage using different enough characters. Hell, it was better than the actual Fantastic Four movie. Meanwhile, I had my hopes up for this one. I heard it might be more alone the lines of Airplane! than the other in this dismal series of '____ Movie' movies. Sadly that doesn't seem like the case. I didn’t see Incredibles as mocking at all.

It was just mocking. Non of it's parodies were done with love of super-heros. They just pointed out how stupid they felt things were, while ripping off and poorly rewriting our greatest comic book stories. They stoled directly from Maxximmoral, Watchmen (a lot), and The Fantastic 4, and then presented it in a very snide manner. Sorry. I have strong feelings about that one, but I'll stop myself from writing my essay on it here. It's better as a drunken rant for chasing people away at Comic Con anyway. :) “see the self-mocking postmodernism in everything from “Superman Returns” to “The Incredibles”
