Why I hate "The Incredibles"

Have you ever hated a movie, not because of how stupid it was (Like the Special Editions), but because it offended you and gave you bad memories?

That's the deal with me and the villian from "The Incredibles". Every moment he had on screen was offensive to me. He was too intense, his laughs were unnecsesary, and his super power and repetitive dialogue is what I consider "Unfair". Nevertheless, the villian gave me many bad memories, and I've had to stay away from all Pixar movies, because if I watch just one, they'll come back full force.

My favorite superhero is Iron Man, of Marvel Comics, and I'd like to his new movie called "Ultimate Avengers". I really like the Marvel Universe, because when I watch the movies, I know it's not the actual dialogue, the real dialogue is the comics. I know, because I read the comics to solve a bad memory before, and the memory went away. Unfortunately, this isn't the solution for "The Incredibles", as it's original dialogue was the movie, so it's been harder to deal with.

I thought if I told people online about the situation, they'd understand and help me with it. After all, they had to deal with Star Wars' Special Edition and Prequels, so they must feel the same way I do. I'll tell you more about how I've been trying to get rid of the movie's bad memories as this thread progresses.

I don't get it - what specifically offended you or brought up harmful memories? The way I see it, the only way people can help you is if you speak up and tell us what the problem is...

I fail to see the issue. Aren't villains supposed to get under our skin in one way or another? They're not supposed to be overly sympathetic.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I love that movie, actually. It just embodies all that classic age of heroes in the earlier part of the century and gives it a spin. That, and I think Helen Parr is really hot... for a CG character.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Was killing every superhero in his universe really portraying the golden age?

His superpower was unfair because it gave him too much of an advantage. Well now that I think of it, Violet and Dash could have beaten him, but no, they wanted to make him all powerful.

Like I said before, all his evil laughs were unnecissary. They were just thrown in to make him more of a general supervillian. But he was already too intense to be general, and the laughs make him even worse.

He was too intimidating. Yelling, saying he had a robot only he could defeat, kidnapping children, trying to make a superhero cry, etc.

"They will kill you if they get the chance"? Killing children. That's very kid-friendly. They had to further up the ante by making him have no respect for life at all. Except his own. I can't believe he tried to escape his own death. And that stupid "ack!" noise he made. I would have accepted that death if he took it more seriously.

That's all the reasons I hated Syndrome, and the movie. (I didn't want to use the name but you guys said it anyway.) Basically, they tried too hard to make the villian too evil. I sent them e-mails telling them about my bad memories, and they even admitted he was too intense!

I've been buying and watching a lot of old Disney movies that I like to help get rid of the bad memories, like Lion King, Aladdin, Hercules, and Tarzan. And since you're great movie creators, maybe you guys could help make me copies of the ones I can't get in stores anymore?

No pixar movies, though, because that will just make it worse.

They actually sent me an email from that guy, saying he was sorry for any trouble the character caused me, and not to worry about it. Unfortunately, I still am. Maybe I should read it again.

Of course he doesn't have any reguard for life. He's a VILLAIN. He's supposed to be evil.

Syndrome was a great villain BECAUSE he was so intense. He was the scorned nerd who came back for revenge; he is US, only pure evil. That's what makes him great... Plus his lines were great. "Oh-ho, this is just TOO GOOD!" where he says it like a hill-billy, or the "And when everyone is Super... NO ONE will be."

As for getting you copies of Disney films not in stores, sorry, but this forum is not for bootlegging.

Does it have to be a 100% portrayal? Can there be no original ingenuity?

BTW, I believe your original argument was about his mannerisms, which was addressed by PSYCHO_DAYV, not his actions. Changing your argument won't help it.

"Basically, they tried too hard to make the villian too evil."

He was SUPPOSED to be over the top.

"I sent them e-mails telling them about my bad memories, and they even admitted he was too intense!"

PPOR

"No pixar movies, though, because that will just make it worse."

Yeah, I'm sure Cars is really going to kickstart those memories of overblown villains. LOL!

I liked how they treated it like not everything could be perfect. Most kids' films are too sanitary anyway. I loved lines like, "They will kill you if they get the chance." It makes the danger more real. And it's not as though they showed every superhero getting killed. It was just information on the screen. The DVD extras do make you know those superheroes a bit better, but it's not graphic, and you don't get upset because these are people you know. The emotion comes from what it does to Bob, who you do know and should feel a connection with at this point. As far as the other deaths, the cape montage that Edna gives is the funniest thing in that entire movie. It cracks me up every time. I'm glad they didn't dance around death and have bad guys be beaten but escape, and see parachutes off in the distance, or make some cop out line like, "He's in the hospital." Ah. Now I suddenly have the need to watch that movie again. Awesome stuff!

Is it confirmed that ALL superheroes are dead but Frozone and the Incredibles? Obviously a bunch of them are; between the files he finds and the cape montage, there have to be more than 20 confirmed dead. But it never really said how many there were to begin with.

Pixar movies are never that clean they always have some jokes that kids will never get.

Well, since the NSA files on the extras are supposed to have bios on all the superheroes, and all the ones shown were either Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Frozone, and the ones who were killed in cape accidents or by Syndrome, then it seems very likely.

That sucks for the future of the Incredibles world. What hapens when a giant Lovecraftian entity or Devourer of Worlds shows up to a planet with just six heroes?

Plus, the NSA might not have files on foreign superheroes.
