Questions about "The Incredibles"...

Post by Timon/Pumbaa fan »

I was just watching the Incredibles again I found two little mistakes!

1. Elastigirl/Helen Par goes into the principal's office all by herslef. Anyone else see a problem here? Where did she leave Jak-Jak? Because in the next scene we see Jak-Jak in the car! Did she leave him in the car! And she thought Dash and Violet were irresponsible! :lol:

2. During the whole "Mr. Incredible gets sued" thing on one of the news-papers it says Dyna-guy gets sued! But according to Edna and the Bonus Disc it sayd Dyna-guy dies of a cape malfunction. How did he have a chance to go on one more mission when he got sued? C'mon Kobe Bryan didn't just play basketball after he got sued! It just couldn't have happened unless Dyna-guy never died or he did secret super hero work!

Do you know how this is possible?

The 2nd issue could have a whole story revolving it with excuses!
Regarding Helen, hmm... She does turn out to be quite irresponsible!

Why bad Disney, bad Disney? It's either bad Brad Bird, bad Pixar or bad Elastigirl! Disney had nothing to do with it! :P

...hmm, okay. Bad Helen, bad Helen then. :p

I guess Pixar didn't account for this because they knew young kids (Kinder and elementary school) wouldn't be able to pick up on what you've picked up. :lol: We're not young kids though!

1. Helen could have let a school administrator who adores Jack-Jack watch him during the meeting. I'm sure there are many plausible reasons we don't see him in the principal's office, but the movie shouldn't have to show you every tiny detail of their lives.

2. Mr. Incredible and Frozone did some undercover hero work after the lawsuits. Why can't Dynaguy do the same?

How did Edna find out? :wink: Not only that but Mr. Incredible and Frozone didn't wear their super suits when they did secret super-hero work!

1. Somebody could have looked after him while Elastigirl was in the principal's office.

2. There are 15 years in between when they got sued and the present time.

Yeah but the only way he could do that is if he did secret super-hero work and if he did he wouldn't be wearing his super-suit, but as you can see during the flashback, he was wearing it! So it couldn't be during those 15 years!

I see your point. That's the part when Mr Incredible wants a cape and Edna says "No Cape." Then there's the flashback of what happens with the cape. Maybe he went back to being a super-hero before Mr. Incredible.

How could that have happened if the government wanted to hide all the super-heros?

I just had a thought. Somebody could have sued Dynaguy's estate after his unfortunate demise.

But when the government wanted all the super-heroes to hide their idenity happened 15 years before this incident with the cape happened, did it not.

That's his point exactly!
Great idea Brandon...

No that couldn't have happened because if you see the newspaper you see Dyna-guy in the court frowning so they couldn't be sueing his estate because they had to have been sueing him.

I just thought of something! Edna never actually says he dies! You know, he is a superhero! :wink:

Your absolutely right, they dont have to show us every second of their lives or it would be a really really long movie. But when you see the baby in the car and then the next scene is her, without the baby, in the office, things gets suspicious. Plus, I dont think Pixar would just expect us to assume Jack-Jack is being supervised by someone else.

Great job, Timon/Pumba fan at finding these mistakes. I love finding mess-ups in movies! :)
