Yesterday, I saw The Incredibles 2 in theaters. I saw the original one before, but I haven't seen it recently. Anyway, I wanted to make a post about this sequel because I was disappointed with it. What the forum goers here said about the Last Jedi, I saw in this movie. I noticed that this movie had a feminist and political agenda to it, and it took me out of the movie because I couldn't unsee it.
"Make Supers Legal Again" is a phrase that is uttered several times in the movie. Men in this movie, with the exception of Frozone, are portrayed as stupid and its the women who do everything right. Though to this movie's credit, the main villain is a woman. Mr. Incredible has to take care of the kids while his wife is gone, and that goes about as well as you'd expect. The kids ask him to call mom or one of his friends for help, and he refuses because he believes that needs to do it himself. Ultimately it's his daughter who makes the call to his friend Frozone to help with the kids. Before that, he and his wife have an argument about the law and using their powers in public. When she slams her fists on the table, Mr. Incredible shuts up and goes back to eating silently without leaving the table. He also feels jealousy towards his wife for being asked by Winston to represent a campaign to "Make Supers Legal Again" and gets visibly frustrated when she does a train rescue better than he can.
The father of rich guy Winston Deavor was killed by a burglar entering his house, and Winston's sister states that he should have went into the house's safe room instead of calling superheroes for help. There's also a bunch of other stuff about this movie involving politics and feminism that I'm forgetting about, but these were the most noteable.
So yeah, I go from not understanding the criticism forum goers here made of The Last Jedi and being changed by it, to seeing these criticisms in a different movie. Funny how things work out. Also, both of these movies are made by Disney. I will say this, at least they still have the Marvel movies. They have only disappointed me once (Spider-Man Homecoming). And soon, they will also have X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool in their Cinematic Universe, assuming their purchase of 21st Century Fox goes through.
