The Incredibles: Deserving of a Sequel

Highlights

To delve deeper into the realm of superheroes and delve into the intricate narratives of the younger generation, Pixar should consider producing Incredibles 3. This sequel would not only broaden the universe of supers but also offer captivating tales of self-discovery and the challenges faced by the children of these revered heroes, allowing audiences to explore the burden of living in the shadows of their illustrious parents.

The intriguing abilities possessed by Jack-Jack, the youngest child of the Parr family, offer ample opportunities for captivating storylines and the exploration of the potential downsides and difficulties that come with being a polymorph super.

Incredibles 3 would greatly benefit from Violet Parr taking the lead, given the complexity and richness of her ordinary life juxtaposed with her heroic endeavors. Her personal challenges involving identity, love, and independence would undoubtedly make for an exceptionally compelling and remarkable narrative.

Pixar's beloved family, The Incredibles, has undergone a transformative journey across two films, reshaping the role of superheroes and the Parr family in their world. While the films revolve around family dynamics, the spotlight has primarily been on the parents: Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, in the first and second installments respectively. Though the children have played vital yet supporting roles in aiding their parents in their battles against villains.

Back in Mr. Incredible's heyday, superheroes were revered as celebrities, basking in interviews and posing for the cameras. However, the government outlawed superpowers, forcing heroes and villains alike into seclusion, trying to live ordinary lives. Incredibles 2 marked a significant shift in the narrative as it placed superheroes back under the public eye, but with a complex twist. Helen Parr, aka Elastigirl, was entrusted with the task of reshaping public perception of superheroes in hopes of reclaiming their legal status as crime-fighting champions. A potential third film could further delve into the Incredibles' journey, shifting the focus once more to a different lead character. With superheroes back in the spotlight, Pixar has a wealth of unexplored territory to navigate.

Why Pixar Should Make Incredibles 3

Pixar should produce another installment in The Incredibles franchise for two main reasons. Firstly, it would allow them to delve deeper into the world of supers and explore the experiences of the children of super-powered individuals. This would provide an opportunity to tell coming-of-age stories that highlight the challenges and pressures of living in the shadow of their celebrated parents. The result could be emotionally charged narratives that showcase the internal struggles faced by these individuals as they try to navigate their own identities and decide whether to embrace their powers for good or evil. This would create compelling storylines that pit families and friends against each other. Additionally, this could be an opportunity for Disney and Pixar to create a supers universe similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but with a strong emphasis on family dynamics.

The second reason for producing another installment is the character of Jack-Jack. The youngest member of the Parr family possesses multiple powers, making him a fascinating and unique anomaly among known supers. It is unclear whether there are any drawbacks to having multiple powers, both physically and mentally. Although Jack-Jack exhibits good control over his abilities even as a baby, there is the potential for change in the future. Furthermore, Jack-Jack may face challenges such as bullying or loneliness due to his identity as a polymorph super. The uncertainty surrounding how these factors could impact his potential as a hero, especially if he is perceived as too powerful and feared, adds intrigue to his character. Exploring whether Jack-Jack is the only polymorph in The Incredibles universe or if there are others like him, whether heroes or villains, would provide an opportunity for Pixar to expand the lore of supers. It could also present Jack-Jack with a potential role model or friend who understands his experiences and could offer guidance and support.

Violet Parr Should Lead Incredibles 3

The heroics of everyday life are just as captivating to observe as the epic battles of superheroes. Amongst the Parr family, no other character embodies a more intricate and nuanced balance between their ordinary existence and their heroic endeavors than Violet Parr. By the conclusion of Pixar's Incredibles 2 film, she is already involved in a quasi-romantic relationship with Tony Rydinger. However, she departs from their movie date to combat crime alongside her family. Her unwavering commitment to fighting injustice transcends all other aspects of her life. Despite her introverted and socially awkward demeanor, Violet is navigating the rebellious phase of her teenage years. Thus far, this has manifested as her defiance against parental orders to refrain from engaging in battles. In a potential Incredibles 3 film, this recurring theme could be further developed to bring the next wave of superhero conflicts closer to home. Violet's reserved nature belies her considerable power. The visual spectacle and potential comedic value of witnessing how Bob and Helen discipline Violet cannot be underestimated.

Violet's otherwise ordinary coming-of-age experiences could be depicted in a truly extraordinary manner. While most adolescents learn to drive, Violet could be honing her skills in levitation and invisibility, utilizing them discreetly as she travels. Her desire to combat crime may dwindle as she increasingly yearns for love, independence, and a normal life. As the Super Relocation Act is repealed, superheroes find themselves back in the limelight, subject to the prying lenses of reporters and paparazzi, all vying for the perfect snapshot. The pressures Violet experiences, from living up to her parents' heroic achievements to navigating the minefield of high school drama amidst media scrutiny, are immensely stressful. Moreover, when juxtaposed with the emergence of a formidable villain and a deteriorating home life, Pixar possesses the essential ingredients for an incredible narrative that highlights the significance of community support during challenging times.

When faced with hardships, many teenagers suffer in silence, which can amplify their feelings of invisibility. Violet, with her personality and superpower of invisibility, may also struggle with these feelings. It is important for anyone to feel valued and validated in their identity and life choices by being seen and heard by their family and friends. Violet Parr, unlike her more extroverted family members, has not yet chosen a hero name. In this hypothetical plot, a name like Invisigirl may do more harm than good for this super who avoids the spotlight. She also has the option to decline her hero status. Despite being different, Violet proves that being different can be incredible. If there is an Incredibles 3 by Pixar, it is safe to assume that her family will always be there to fight alongside her, no matter what path she chooses.
