The Incredibles is about family dynamics and realising your potential. It's also about suppressing that potential so you can fit in and seem as though you're just like everyone else, because society doesn't want you to be different. It doesn't want you to be your truest self. Cheery, right? The Incredibles is also, in one particularly chilling scene, about the blind violence of war. Oh, do you think planes crashes look fun and exciting kid? DO YOU?

Missiles are headed for the plane and so she yells down the radio "There are children aboard! Say again, there are children aboard this plane!". But the missiles keep coming. Because war doesn't discriminate. Collateral damage is everywhere. There are no magical elastic mothers in the real world. The horror. The horror.
