The Incredibles I Cant Lose You Again
"I'k sorry. I've been a lousy father, blind to what I have."
Tear Jerker moments in The Incredibles.
- The realistic "parent fighting" scene. The looks on Dash and Violet's faces later on their parents know that their kids heard them. It's especially hard to lookout for those who grew upward witnessing parental arguments.
- "Does this hateful we have to motion again?" is teary to the optics for anyone who had to move a lot as a kid.
- Mr. Incredible in his room pondering whether or not to take the mission, and seeing all the memorabilia of things he has achieved throughout his superheroic career but makes your heart driblet at how much he's done.
- When Helen listens in on the telephone phone call between Bob and Mirage and assumes them to be having an affair, the look on her confront when she says "I love yous, so much," is heartbreaking.
- Even more so when you lot take in Bob's coincidental attitude towards her as he goes off to "piece of work"— from her perspective, he's brushing her off considering he's got someone new, but from his perspective, everything is just hunky-dory every bit usual.
- For a brief second later on he hears Helen's "I love you", Bob just kind of stops in confusion. He tin can tell something is off, but doesn't know why, especially since to him, everything is going perfectly. Including and especially his relationship with Helen. She thinks he's having an thing, but he thinks he's actually giving his family unit the life they've deserved for the kickoff fourth dimension in more than than a decade - doing a version of what he loves, no less.
- You tin can also imagine how Helen feels after this scene. She had manifestly been enjoying the last 2 months with her and Bob having a more active sex life and Bob finally bonding with their children equally well as the new cars and him getting in shape. Then she thinks the reason Bob has been so happy is that he has fallen for some other adult female. No doubtfulness she feels betrayed by all this.
- This gives a new perspective to the scene where Helen sees her weight gain in her new supersuit and is obviously upset. Information technology's played for laughs simply it's quite heartbreaking if you think of the context of how she believes Bob is adulterous on her. She probably is thinking how she'due south lost her figure after 15 years of retirement and three children and information technology has caused Bob to no longer be attracted to her as a result.
- The scene where Helen punches out Delusion (believing she and Bob are having an affair) and so Bob pulls her in by her still extended arm, she angrily tries to break from his grasp and calls him a "lousy, lying, unfaithful pitter-patter". You lot can hear the obvious pain in her vocalism, thinking her fears have come true and that she's been betrayed by the man she loved and counted on for so long also equally the father of her children. Fortunately, they're able to clear the air while running outside to rescue the kids, with Bob proverb that he should have admitted that he was fired and he's just happy that she and their children are alive.
- She punches Mirage out subsequently she calls her "Mrs. Incredible". This seems to be Helen feeling like this woman is rubbing table salt into her wounds since not only has she been having an affair with Bob, she did this while already knowing he was married.
- When Mr. Incredible learns the totality of Syndrome's plan via computer, especially when yous think that all the supers who died perfecting the Omnidroid weren't simply allies of Mr. Incredible; they were his friends. Several of them had been at his wedding, and he recognized Gazerbeam instantly upon seeing the picture of his secret identity in the newspaper. Likewise remember that each of the supers had gotten the exact aforementioned message as Mr. Incredible, reminding them of their Glory Days, asking them to come up dorsum and make a difference ane final time... and leading them to exist unceremoniously slaughtered to perfect a machine that will be used to discredit supers once and for all. Really, how could anyone run into Syndrome as a sympathetic graphic symbol after that?
- In all likelihood, this means that Bob'south wedding - the happiest day of his life - was the last day he saw some of his best friends live.
- Look at his face when he sees that Helen's whereabouts are listed as unknown. That is some serious "Oh thank God, she's safe, they don't know where she is, she's safe..." And and then he sees that Frozone, who is in the same city, has his location verified.
- Information technology's fifty-fifty worse when you saw the second disk of the DVD and saw the superhero files. If you practise that, then rewatch the scene, you start recognizing those pictures. You've read their dossiers, listened to their recordings, probably learned everything about them. Those faces will have names, stories, personalities. Who doesn't experience the aforementioned shock that Bob does?
- The kicker? The reason he is shocked isn't merely because most of his friends and peers are dead. It is that the reason they are dead in the beginning identify was because he inadvertently created Syndrome with his rejection and was i of the biggest factors in supers having to go into hiding in the first place, meaning that he just has as much, if not more blame for all their deaths.
- The scene on the aeroplane when Helen realizes that Syndrome'due south missiles are going to hit them and they cannot be stopped, all the while frantically yelling "Abort, abort, arrest! There are children onboard!" into the radio. Her face shows pure terror. She and so unhesitatingly leaps into the back of the aeroplane at the last 2d, fully prepared to die for her son and daughter.
- "Put a field around the states NOW!" and Violet's face equally she tries in vain to.
- And later, when Helen leaves Dash and Violet in the cave, Violet runs out after her and apologizes for this.
- And Bob, beingness forced to listen.
- The fashion Bob simply broke down and begged for their lives. He is a strong hero who commonly will beat up someone who causes him problems. But he cannot do so due to being chained past Syndrome. He sounds so desperate as he listens to the love of his life and his children in the crash. Plus the defeated look on his confront when Delusion confirms the airplane was destroyed.
- Delusion'due south expression of pure horror upon hearing "There are children on lath!" from the receiver signifies one affair: Her dominate has deliberately sent missiles to shoot downwardly a plane which has now just been discovered to take children on board, and fifty-fifty with this new data he notwithstanding doesn't call them off. A female parent and her children are going to die and Bob and Mirage are unable to do anything but listen to the inevitable explosion.
- "Put a field around the states NOW!" and Violet's face equally she tries in vain to.
- Bob initially believes his family has been killed. Syndrome's Kick the Dog line about working alone only makes things worse. You tin even hear him weeping bitterly in the groundwork every bit Syndrome walks away, it's heartbreaking.
- And but wait at him afterward when Mirage comes in to free him. For a few seconds, he'southward so broken that his first instinct is to strangle her.
- It's all only confirmed that Mirage and Syndrome are in a relationship. She says that they're both attracted to ability, and he'southward her weakness. Despite the fact that Syndrome shot down a plane with children, Mirage nonetheless pushed him out of the mode when Incredible attacked. Then when Incredible threatened to snap her cervix unless he was freed, Syndrome dared him to exercise it. You can see the heartbreak on her confront that Syndrome doesn't care about her the mode she does for him.
- Subsequently, Mirage makes no bare-basic well-nigh her disappointment and anger in her boss-beau: "He's not weak. Valuing life is not a weakness. And disregarding it is non a forcefulness." Syndrome tries to explicate that he was calling Incredible'southward barefaced that the man wouldn't be able to have a life, but Mirage doesn't buy it, nor should she. She tells him bitterly to gamble his own life adjacent time and storms away from him.
- Helen explaining the difference betwixt Saturday Morning Cartoon villains and the mooks who Would Hurt a Child. She actually doesn't want to shatter her kids' expectations similar that, just they have to know. Sure, the kids are resourceful and they will arrive out alive, but Helen's line all the same gives the states the possibility that they might non.
- And when Bob reveals to Helen just why he'd prefer to take on the Omnidroid lone, equally a direct issue of the in a higher place.
Bob: I Tin'T LOSE Y'all AGAIN! ...I can't. Non over again. I'g non... strong plenty.
Helen: If we work together, you won't accept to be.
- The commentary from the scene that the in a higher place dialogue comes from.
- The wait on Helen's confront when he says information technology implies that he'due south never shown this kind of fright before— but of course he hasn't. He'due south the Superman of his world, the strongest hero who ever lived. He can act cocky considering a function of him knows that he'll e'er exist able to save everyone. And and then he got beaten down like a helpless kid by a weaker version of the monster his family unit is about to confront. He no longer has the confidence that he'll be able to protect them.
- This is also the moment where information technology dawns on her that Bob was listening in to the air traffic radio when the missiles were chasing her aeroplane, and why he was so relieved and acquiescent to her confrontational and argumentative stance when they were escaping Syndrome'due south complex the first time. She just realized to her horror that he idea she and their kids were dead for a period of time.
- The commentary from the scene that the in a higher place dialogue comes from.
- Syndrome'southward Motive Rant. It but sounded so much like he was nevertheless that disillusioned kid, and who doesn't remember how much those kinds of disillusions hurt? While the later revelation of his true plans and actions will definitely put a damper on the sympathy, it'southward not hard to feel for him in that very moment.
- It'south very brief but during the fight with the Omnidroid, Dash tells his begetter to throw Syndrome's remote, and Bob does. While he's running for the remote, nosotros can see Helen. The look on her face is heart-wrenching; just imagine having to watch i of your children, who's only almost 9 or 10, being attacked past a car whose purpose is to kill people like you lot and your kid. And the way she reaches out her arms to her son, merely he's also fast....No parent should have to go through that.
- Syndrome's attempted kidnapping of Jack-Jack. He freezes all of them so that they're helpless to stop him gloating nearly how he's taking away their future, then blows a hole through their roof to escape. After he takes off, Jack-Jack wakes up and immediately starts crying in terror. Information technology'south made even worse by the terror on all their frozen faces, and when they effort stopping him from getting abroad they tin't, for fear that they'll impale their baby son.
- The sheer desperation in Helen's voice equally she screams "Bob, throw me !!"
- Note Violet's reaction: information technology was her idea to get a babysitter to sentinel Jack-Jack while she and Dash helped their female parent. You tin can see the guilt on her face that the "replacement" was less than ideal.
- Exercise you recollect Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Accidentally got his greatcoat hooked onto a missile and strangled to decease? In the "superhero profile" special features on the DVD, it's revealed that he left behind a "roommate" and their adopted kids.
- Worse even so, nosotros likewise learn through the DVD extras that Thunderhead wasn't simply dim just notably mentally disabled; he didn't graduate school, could barely read, had severe problems focusing, and fifty-fifty more, difficulty expressing himself. He was a kind human being and an incredibly powerful superhero, permit down by a society that had no thought how to help people like him, particularly since going past the setting he was probably in school sometime betwixt 1930 and 1940 (having perished in 1958).
- Stratogale was still in loftier school when she got sucked into that airplane engine.
- A bird can cause the aeroplane engine to malfunction; Stratogale was a Flight Brick. Those kids she was waving at and everyone else on the aeroplane are either expressionless or went through what probable were the two about psychologically scarring events of their lives in 1 go.
- It gets worse. Wait closely, and you lot'll see that smoke is coming out of the plane engine before Stratogale gets caught in information technology. That means that she was in the middle of saving that plane from crashing (or rendering assistance to help information technology country safely). It'due south very likely that her body getting sliced up by the turbines just fabricated the impairment worse. Wanna know what makes the scene even worse? An alert can briefly be heard after she gets sucked in, most probable coming from the plane's instrument panel, meaning that the already damaged engine was compromised completely. In fact, with the exception of Thunderhead, who successfully redirected the missile's flight path, nigh of the supers who died because of their capes never got to save anyone calling for help.
- Her cause of death is listed every bit suit malfunction. That hilarious "no capes" rant all of a sudden becomes the most depressing matter in the world.
- On that annotation, how practise you think Edna feels well-nigh all this? She designed those outfits. All of them. And all of them led to the wearers dying (or in Splashdown's case, going missing). This causes her vehement refusal to give Bob a greatcoat and her statement that she "never looks back" to accept on a much darker meaning.
- Edna remembered every single date that those heroes died considering of a cape malfunction. Being a superhero is a life-or-death situation, so Edna takes her piece of work very seriously. To know that multiple heroes died because of faulty designs on her part must be unbearable.
- Bob's piece of work at his task - existence stuck at an insurance company that refuses to insure people who desperately need (and legally deserve) the money, topped off by a fell, selfish boss who yells at Bob for doing his job. There's also the implication that he doesn't discuss this with Helen at all, equally she'south under the impression that he "helps people" for a living. Kudos to him that he doesn't give upward, whispering for customers on how to find loopholes and ordering them to cry loudly when they exit.
- Bob's job woes can hit the viewer right in the gut considering how many of usa in our lives have tried to do good at our jobs, only to exist held back by some jerk manager? Bob only looks completely cleaved and tired when he gets chosen into the meeting, barely mustering the strength to speak. This is ane of the greatest superheroes who ever lived, and all it took was a crappy 9-to-5 to interruption him. It'southward summed up perfectly (and somewhat humorously) in his exchange after he's fired.
Bob: (notices Rusty equally he gets out of his car) Well, what are y'all waiting for?!
Rusty: (shrugs) I don't know. Something amazing, I judge...
Bob: (sighs dejectedly) Me too, kid... - The scene where Bob is getting yelled at past said boss. He happens to expect to the left where he sees a man existence attacked in an alley. Every function of him just wants to burst out of the building and salvage him as a normal hero would. Nevertheless, his dominate's draconian reaction and threat to fire him forces him to stay and watch the assailant walk away. For a superhero, that must have killed him, knowing that he could have saved someone, only couldn't.
- The picture opened up with an interview with Mr. Incredible in his prime. He talks about how he'd like to 1 day retire and get a regular job. Plainly, he was planning to assist people as a regular guy, but instead, he's strangled by the cherry-red record and expected to slam the door in the faces of people who need his help the most.
- Bob's job woes can hit the viewer right in the gut considering how many of usa in our lives have tried to do good at our jobs, only to exist held back by some jerk manager? Bob only looks completely cleaved and tired when he gets chosen into the meeting, barely mustering the strength to speak. This is ane of the greatest superheroes who ever lived, and all it took was a crappy 9-to-5 to interruption him. It'southward summed up perfectly (and somewhat humorously) in his exchange after he's fired.
- Think virtually the story from Violet'due south point of view. All her life, she's had to hide her powers from the earth, is information technology any wonder she's such a Shrinking Violet for most of the picture?
- There's a deleted/unfinished scene where Violet rants to her mom virtually how much she hates herself (which tin exist seen in the "Vowellet" special feature).
Helen: Don't be silly. You lot're cute.
Violet: I'1000 gangly.
Helen: You're growing.
Violet: I'm gangly, and growing ganglier. I'm ugly, I accept no curves, my friends are dorkier than I am, I don't talk, but my encephalon won't close upwards! - The footage of Mr. Incredible getting tangled upward in a lawsuit over stopping a man from committing suicide but giving him whiplash. Subsequently being painted every bit the bad guy he loses his absurd and yells at the man he just saved for being ungrateful.
- Information technology is pitiful seeing Buddy Pine become from a sweet kid to a murderous supervillain. Seeing a cute child grow into such a monster is heartbreaking. He went from an aspiring sidekick to a serial killer of superheroes. While he probably deserved information technology for all the crimes he committed, it's easy to mourn the child he used to exist when he ends up getting killed in the end.
- What'south worse is that Bob is actually quite reasonable. He points out that he's been giving the child a lot of merchandise as thanks for his support, but tin't have him on for superhero work. Why? Because it is unsafe. It's only when Buddy endangers his life, too equally that of innocent passerby, that Mr. Incredible tells the law he needs to go home to his parents. Yet Buddy couldn't embrace that he was gambling lives, and decided to become a villain to "bear witness" he was better than his hero. He had the potential for good but had his ego leading him for all his life.
- Hearing the interviews at the commencement of the film as well as listening to the NSA profiles on the DVD extra, it makes it all the sadder virtually the fact Bob and Helen had to give up a career they were so good at. Sure, Bob made a huge fault with his handling of Oliver Sansweet as well equally the train incident, but again, this was non on purpose. They and so many other superheroes had so much potential and did so much good for their communities, it was distressing they had to quit when they still had a lot in them.
- Deleted scenes (only storyboarded)
- Helen actually confronts Bob virtually the pilus on his business adapt, that is platinum-blond. He tries to lie that information technology was the dry-cleaner adult female's, only she asks frankly: is he having an affair? Bob says no, of form not! But he can't tell her why he'south going on these trips of a sudden. He leaves her in the closet, where she starts to weep. This was cut to proceed the flick family unit-friendly, simply even in grapheme, it doesn't brand sense, since the minute Bob realizes what Helen was fearing after she punched Delusion in the face up, he quickly came make clean to her.
- Every bit Helen fears that Bob may be cheating on her, she falls asleep on the burrow and has a strange dream of Bob equally Mr. Incredibles philandering with dozens of beautiful blonde women by a pool while she is a maid, appearing older than she is and Bob ignoring her entirely. When she gets fed upward with her husband's adultery, she angrily throws down the laundry basket and rushes to confront him, just to be pulled into the pool by a rope made from clothes and pulled into a washing machine. As she attempts to scream for assistance, Bob just ignores her in favor of the women at the pool. She and so wakes up gasping, looks around the room, and holds her face in her hands. The writers stated this scene was one of the showtime to become as information technology would non exist advisable for a Disney film.
- The guy Helen gets the plane from actually goes with the family unit. When Syndrome blows them up, he doesn't survive. Snug braves the missiles that attack the plane while shouting for them to abort because at that place is a "woman and children on board!". When Violet can't summon a shield large enough, Snug'south face braces for the inevitable explosion. Helen has to make a Sadistic Option betwixt saving him or her kids and chooses the kids. When they terminate up in the h2o, after, Snug'southward cap rises from the wreckage of the plane. Helen has a My God, What Have I Done? expression as she surfaces, and the kids are somberly quiet when she wordlessly tells them Snug didn't make it. Note this wasn't a Super; Snug was an ordinary guy and a trusted family friend. Mercifully, while Brad Bird fought to go on Snug in, he admitted that the character had to by and large be cutting, since building plenty of his character to brand his expiry impactful would consume upwards too much of the motion-picture show's fourth dimension.
