Well this wasn't the type of movie I was expecting this year.

When I think of Spider-Man, I would've never thought of him being together with different sorts of people from other universes. The more I think about it though, there is probably some comic in the thousands of issues out there that talk about this exact scenario, but it's still odd to think about. And also, highly intriguing. I was always fascinated with the idea that we could have alternate versions of ourselves, and the trailer for this movie was to put in the simplest of terms- so cool!

But, being the cautious person I am, I wasn't sure that an animated Spiderman movie would bode well with audiences at this time or if it would hold up to be successful like the live action Spiderman related films that recently appeared like 'Spiderman: Homecoming' or 'Avengers: Infinity War.'

I went into this movie feeling excited for it but also doing my best to not let my excitement get the better of my judgement. So, I have to ask you if you think this movie gave me a new, awesome Spiderman origin story to follow or did it just trap me in its web of lies?

The plot for 'Spiderman: Into the Spider Verse' is as follows: The audience follows Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), a teenage boy from Brooklyn who is bit by a radioactive spider and discovers that he is one of many Spider heroes from multiple universes. Morales is introduced to these unique individuals, but they have to work together to stop a force that plans to destroy all of their worlds.

One of my concerns going into this film is that it would be too much. I saw the trailer beforehand, so I knew of how many characters would be introduced and it worried me that there wouldn't be enough time to explain them all. But the film provides clever ways to compensate for this. There is a clear hierarchy of importance with the characters we are introduced to, with Morales being at the top and as the movie goes on we're witnessed to new people who decrease in importance. This doesn't mean that the movie did bad in showing their new characters; in fact, this makes things better.

With that many people, if they were all shoved in with equal development it would crowd your brain and make it hard to focus on the story. So, what was needed to be said was said, and I was satisfied with that. For the characters that weren't touched upon as much, there wasn't really a reason not to change that. A sequel would be nice, but if I never saw those characters again then I wouldn't feel like I was missing anything. After all, the story was about Morales- who by the way is my favorite character.

I don't think it's often for me to like the star of a movie, but with Morales I knew I would like him once he came on screen. I had one of those moments that many children probably have where you look at the screen and think to yourself, "That is me. I am being represented." Granted, I am not a teenage boy living in Brooklyn, but certain elements reminded me of myself and home.

His character was so diverse from his cultural background to his personality. He sometimes has trouble showing emotion, but he's not dark and brooding. He has some good friends, but he's not the best with the ladies. Morales just reminds me of someone who I could just hang out with, and is not a stereotype, which elevates this movie to a whole different level.

His arc was well put together too, although sometimes really hard to watch because I felt his pain as he tried to live up to be a new Spiderman in his universe. I could sense how I would react in those situations, and it made it all the more real for me. So once the audience notices Morales started to understand his powers, it makes things all the more fulfilling because there was a lot of effort put into getting to that point.

The other spider heroes were well done too, and I've grown to like each of them by the end of the movie. They're all distinct from one another, but the story somehow makes them connected in their origin story which is a running gag in the movie that I found to be funny. A couple of spider heroes came off as really wacky, but thankfully the movie doesn't focus so much on that and as a result I was able to like them more than what I was expecting. The comic reliefs were great when needed, and certainly plays on the different types of spider heroes we've gotten over the years, but I'm glad the writers knew it was better to let the main story take its course without too much interference from side or minor characters (wherever you'd put them, if you saw the film).

The villain of the movie was a typical villain in appearance but their background showed that they too had a heart in need of mending, even though the way they go about it isn't the best. It's also someone that some people have seen in the Spiderman universe already if you're a big fan of the series, so it's no one new. Still, there are a couple of plot twists are thrown in here and there throughout the story that make sense, so they're not just thrown in for dramatic effect.


The animation was my biggest concern going into this because I wasn't used to it. I knew it was going for this comic book style, but I feared it would make the characters look more stiff in their movement or a little too cartoony to take seriously- if that makes sense. However, the film plays on the animation excellently, even blatantly including comic book panels at times to direct the plot forward as well as present how the series of events would be addressed.

My favorite play on the comic book designs was how they would write up the sound effects made in the background like "Bam" or "Chirp" or how a character would think aloud and the thought bubbles would pop up behind them. It made me feel like a kid again reading comic books in my bedroom, even though that barely happened! It just gave me this warm feeling of joy.

The soundtrack was also crazy good! A lot of the music felt reminiscent of Brooklyn too, that urban hip-hop beat. It helped me connect with the New York that was presented on screen. For those that never been to New York, particularly Brooklyn, the way that it was presented in this movie gives you a good idea of what it's like- the good and bad of it all. Also, be on the look out for some funny easter eggs when they are in New York, because they show Times Square a number of times and every time there was something new to catch.

I feel like this review was much shorter than my other ones, but I can't recall anything else that I could say about this movie. If you look in the spoiler section I mention a few things I'm not particularly fond of, but they don't overshadow how fun this was to watch. If I had to say a few complaints, I'd comment on how at times scenes that weren't involving fighting went by really quickly and some transitions felt too choppy.

I would also recommend taking precautions if you or anyone you know is prone to seizures before watching this movie as the introduction and ending has long durations of flashing and vibrant colors and the final battle scene has a ton of bright, flashing colors as well.

I don't think this is a movie that should be connected to the big Marvel universe that we are following with Tom Holland's Spiderman, but it's a great movie to share with the whole family. I would watch it again if someone asked me to do so, and buy it for DvD if there were kids roaming around my house- which there aren't. The protagonist is very likable as are the other characters, the music and animation felt innovative, and it looks like it's a great shape for a possible sequel.

I give 'Spiderman: Into the Spider Verse' a 5 out of 5 stars.

One expectation I have for this movie is that I want them to address Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy's relationship in his universe. I feel like it's not something that you can just brush aside. Gwen freaking died in his universe! If they don't mention that somehow I'll be upset.

The introduction is really cool, but gosh did it fly so fast with those colors. I don't know if people who are prone to seizures should see this movie.

Did I see that correctly or was Mary Jane the one upside down in the famous kissing scene? Why in the world would she be tied upside down in an alley way? The only one who could do that is Spiderman, so did he purposely put her in that position so they could have a cool kiss scene?

Miles has a Latin mom? I know his last name was Morales, but I didn't expect them to add a Latina speaking Spanish in the movie. It reminds me of my own mom how she went back in forth with English and Spanish, and in that moment I felt how many other children must have felt where they feel like the character on screen. It was a warm moment for me.

Oof, that transition where Miles is cut off while saying "In a minute" felt really choppy...

That was an awesome moment where Miles passed by his friends and you hear different languages being spoken. It feels like my own town.

Uncle Aaron, eh? If anyone's going to die in Miles' universe, it has to be the uncle. The uncles always die...

I love the tiny jokes the kids are cracking right after Miles was forced to say I love you to his dad. Very reminiscent of real life and how people are jerks.

Having your shoe untied is a trend actually. I know of someone who does that.

Miles was late again to class? Isn't this his first day?

So, is it going to be a thing where Gwen exists in Miles' universe but she also exists in another universe and Miles bonds so much with Spider Gwen that he goes on to date his Gwen?

This "Hey" exchange between Miles and Uncle Aaron feels awkward to me, but I guess that what makes it funny because everyone else was cracking up. I laughed too, but it was more to follow the crowd.

Funny moment where Miles just kills the spider nonchalantly. That would be me.

Why IS that girl so tall? (Pfft, I should talk. People talked about my height a lot growing up)

Miles freaking out is seriously a great representation of anxiety. Is this the consequences of being Spiderman (or woman)? Established anxiety?

Damn, King Pen, those shoulders are thick!

Why is Peter Parker blond? There is not one version of Peter that I've seen that has him with that blond of hair.

*Sees Peter Parker killed by King Pen* ....He's fine.

Guess Miles' dad feels like crap now that their Spider man is dead.

Stan Lee cameo! Ugh, seeing cameos of him after his death makes it more powerful.

You wonder, huh...superheroes have to save the world all the time, and one day, they will die like the rest of us. It makes you think, they are (sometimes) human too and we won't have them forever, so we should cherish them for as long as we have them. Gosh, is this foreshadowing for 'Avengers: Endgame?'

I'd probably be that person to say, "I don't think he was talking about you personally. It's more like a metaphor."

When Miles ran back down the staircase, I thought back to the movie Venom where Venom mocks Eddie for not jumping off the building.

Did you see Peter B. smash the glass in his origin story montage? He's Jewish!

I made sure to look around Times Square to find some references and here are a few I saw. They had a billboard ad of Stephen Curry, a parody of Shaun of the Dead titled something like From Death till Shaun and Bridesmaids was replaced with Baby Showers.

That's New York for you. People could drop from the sky and people wouldn't give a damn about it.

You see, I thought Peter B. Parker was the original Peter Parker from what I interpreted in the trailer.

Even though Peter B. is supposed to be the lower rate version of Peter Parker, I personally think he looks better. I think it's the stubble that gets me.

I had a feeling Miles would've gotten the power of a bigger memory since Peter B. memorized a code.

I really like that science lady's character design. It's different. Also, is she crushing on Peter B.?

Nope, she's not. She's Dr. Oct. That's so cool!

I thought Miles and Peter B. were going to smack right against a tree as they were swinging together.

Okay, so Gwen's universe has her feeling guilty over her Peter's death. But hold up, you mean to tell me that 16 year old Peter was that ripped? Maybe even younger than that, because if you remember by the end of the movie Gwen says she's older than Miles by 15 months, but not before saying that he was 15- meaning that she is 16. No 16 year old could be that ripped! Well...

Aunt May is so cool in this universe!

Nicholas Cage is the noir Spider man? Guess this makes up for him not being Superman.

Why do I get the feeling that I'm not going to like the spider pig?

That line from Noir Spider man about, "I light a match to try and feel something" is amazing.

Spider Gwen is a ballet dancer? I didn't catch that in her origin story. I thought she was in a band.

The other spider heroes pressuring Miles to get up made me really anxious and left a bad taste in my mouth. Again, a resemblance of anxiety with all of these voices yelling at you and you don't have the strength to get back up because of it.

Why are these spider heroes such jerks? Yes, the talking behind Miles' back was meant as a joke, but it just made me annoyed with them. I've truly enjoyed Miles and if anyone hurts him, I will hurt them.

Uncle Aaron is the henchman! Why else would he visit the apartment? Also, I would've found it funny if he just sat and watched tv in his costume.

I thought Dr. Oct was going to kidnap Aunt May, to which I would've reacted like, "Oh come on! Again?!"

That photo of Peter Parker on the wall in his suit and glasses is so adorable.

Why was the villain's words translated but not the mother's if they both speak Spanish? *gasp* Did they do that because it was only AFTER Miles got bit that the comic book affects started happening? If so, nice choice.

Uncle Aaron is not going go so far as to try and kill Miles. There's no way. Oh good, I was right-oh no! Well, I did say all uncles die in Spiderman films...

Uncle Aaron's final words weren't all impactful to me, but then again, when you're dying all of a sudden it's hard to conjure up this excellent speech before your last breath.

Now the father is going to try to kill Miles? This just doesn't end...

I wish there was more interaction with Miles' roommate, like how Ned was to Peter in Spiderman: Homecoming.

I hate the feeling of being ostracized by other people because you're different, which is why this whole "You're not ready, Miles" arc isn't as pleasing to watch as I think it should be. I get it, and I also get why I feel this way.

It's nice to see a big police officer like Miles' dad get emotional for the audience. Crying isn't weak, folks!

Couldn't Miles just grab one of the Spider man suits that look most like what he wants? No, because we need him to ruin a suit with spray paint to show that he's an individual. I'm reaching, I know.

I was never a fan of Mary Jane (at least the Kristen Dunst's version) but they made her likable in this one. I know, she got like two scenes of her talking, but...maybe that's what was needed? I'm sorry Mary Jane fans!

The back and forth about the "bread" was hilarious.

The other Spider heroes are going to need Miles when they're all glitching like that. I bet that will be what saves them.

I didn't catch what Peter B. said the first time when he reunited with Miles, but I managed to figure it out and he said, "Wait, do I want kids?" and that made me a tiny bit upset. I'm not the biggest fan of story arcs that involve someone who doesn't want kids learning that he actually does want kids, because I feel like it's telling people who don't want kids that, "You just don't want any because you're insecure about yourself, you don't think you can do it, and once you get this experience then you'll come around." There are people that will never want to be a parent and that doesn't make them damaged or a bad person for thinking that way, so Peter B. could have still had his issue with his Mary Jane but without the, "she wanted kids, I didn't" part.

Was it necessary for Penny's robot to die during this fight? We don't get as much time with her along with Noir Spiderman and Spider Pig, so this death feels lackluster.

*Sees Spider Gwen and Miles talking before she returns to her universe* ...Oh, just kiss why don't cha?

Is it wrong for me to think that the position Miles and Peter B. were in was romantic? NOT BETWEEN THEM! Hear me out, the way Miles literally held Peter B. over the edge to save him (and also prove a point) but I just pictured this intense rescue scene between two lovers and it was really cute to imagine. Maybe I'll draw it.

I just love how Peter B. was dead set on dying to save the universe, but Miles just flips his own words on him and Peter B. is like, "Yup, you're good." Like, no! If my math teacher said I was going to fail a test because I didn't study, and I respond like, "I just need to take a leap of faith" he won't be like, "You're right, you'll do fine by yourself." I'll still fail...I'm reaching again.

What was the point of King Pen seeing his wife and son in the train? They were holograms (or whatever you call it) but he treated them like they were real. Why? They're clearly not there. My mother commented on that scene though saying that he thought his family was re-forming into existence again, which got me thinking that the point of that scene was to reveal that even if King Pen's family returned, it would just revert back to the last time he knew them which is where he was discovered attacking Spiderman.

That face Miles made when he was hugging his dad when the eyes of his mask got all small was adorable.

So Peter Parker is really dead in this universe? That sucks.

Was that Gwen contacting Miles at the end? That was an ending that knows it wants a sequel.

I stayed for the first after-credits scene with the Stan Lee dedication which was lovely, but I left before the other one and that was a big mistake...It was amazing. If you missed it too, it's on Youtube.

My blogging hiatus has come to an end, and I am so happy about it!

I find myself to be one of few people who miss having to writes paragraphs and paragraphs of words, but it's such a release for me to express my way of thinking. So what better way to start with my blogging again than with a movie that has a ton of creativity, love, and passion built into it for the past 14 years?

Incredibles 2 is the long-awaited sequel to The Incredibles; both movies were written and directed by Brad Bird and are a part of wide collection of beloved films from Pixar Animation Studios. The first Incredibles film debuted in 2004, and was about a group of superheroes (or "Supers") known as the Parr family with the father, Bob (Craig T. Nelson), yearning to live a life of fighting crime after years of not doing so because of a ban on supers thanks to the collateral damage caused by crime-fighting. Bob and his wife, Helen (Holly Hunter) managed to live a simple life in a Suburban town with their three children: Violet, Dash (Sarah Vowell and Huck Milner) and Jack-Jack, but soon enough a figure from Bob's past threatens to tear him and his family's life apart.

This sequels takes place immediately after those events in the first film, and it continues on with the struggles for Supers to be accepted again in society. We see the Parr family go through the challenges of being discriminated and also more domestic issues between one another that a lot of people could relate to.

Still, it bothered me to see so much time pass for one sequel that I didn't even think needed to be created. I would've been content with The Incredibles series ending at just one film. So did I think after all of this time the sequel to one of the most popular Pixar movies was worth the wait or did this anticipation lead up to nothing super incredible?

Whereas the first film revealed more about Bob and his adventures getting back into crime fighting, this movie switches to Helen's point of view where she is persuaded to fight again to help show citizens that supers do provide more safety than damage. While Helen ventures through the city as her former alias, Elastigirl, Bob stays with the children and discovers that parenting can be just as difficult as saving the world- maybe even more so.

I think the plot provided a great avenue for the writers to expand more on Helen's character as she is no longer just the housewife- not that I found that to be the case. It was always clear that she was amazing on her own, it's just now we can see that being presented so much more as I found this movie to be like 85 percent Elastigirl and her revival in the modern world.

I enjoyed her scenes very much as they were filled with action and mystery because for me, I think from the start I had this idea of who this movie's villain would be even when it seemed clear, because I'm so skeptical of people ever since plot twists became a thing. When you do discover who the villain is, it can come off as a surprise. I did guess this person a few times but then there would be moments where I doubted myself and disregarded that theory. Do I think this villain will be more popular than Syndrome from the first movie? Judging from what I've seen on the internet, I would say yes.

Elastigirl was fun to watch while Bob and the kids' scenes were more close to home since we get to witness Violet's romantic debacle and Jack-Jack's multitude of powers being brought to life more. Dash would be the child that I would say fades in the background out of the three since I didn't find him to have any major problem or story arc, but he did act as a child typically does which is loud, talkative, and of course fast.

I was impressed with how they handled Bob's character, especially because I feared from the progression of the story that he would end up being this stubborn alpha male that can't allow his wife to do what she wants without feeling inadequate. Sure he expresses jealously over Helen being able to fight crime, but you'd be able to tell that he doesn't put her down for it nor does he try to one up her.

When I say he spends time raising the kids, that's pretty much all he does throughout most of the movie and it's not as easy as one may think. I liked that moral, that parenting is a heroic act in itself and parents should be proud of themselves for being able to handle it: single parent or not, one child or many.

The movie puts up a clear message in the beginning that there is a epilepsy warning for those prone to seizures, so that's a major warning that should be taken seriously. Other than that, personally I found some scenes to be a bit disturbing for some viewers. The movie does include hypnosis and for me that is not something I enjoy watching.

I understand why it was included, and it does work well for the storyline, it's just for me I find it scary to think of someone unwillingly losing control of their own mind, therefore if that's something that disturbs you, just be wary of it. Nothing is extremely violent, but I did find it to be reaching for what I considered to be a children's movie. Although, as Bird said in a tweet in response to a concerned mother about why there was adult language in the film, "...It is NOT a 'kid's movie'. It is animated, and rated PG." Speaking of adult language, it's not as vulgar as you think. I only heard words like, "sucks" and "crap" and it wasn't overly used at all; you can miss it easily.

I already spoke enough about my opinions on Bob's character, so I'll move right along to Helen. I always liked Helen's character and I loved it even more in this movie. I'm glad I got to see her in action, and apparently so did the side characters.

I felt some serious tension between Helen and a couple of new characters; I feel weird for saying it but I felt it very strongly. I guess that shows how well the relationships are crafted as I find only a few people behave that way while others not so much. I feel like the side characters they pushed into the forefront were really stuck there because I love them very much, but the others just seem to be there and I forgot about a couple of them after the movie was over. Regardless, there will probably be toys of them in the Disneystore and a spinoff on the Disneychannel in the works.

Now onto the kids! Violet seems to have captured everyone's hearts on the internet, and I would be one of them. Like Helen, I always liked Violet. Dare say, she was probably my favorite family member and in this sequel she appears more outspoken but also more angry. Granted, what occurs in the film would justify her anger I felt bad for her having to deal with things out of her control. Still, I think since Violet is a teenager she is the embodiment of many teens and young adults who are dealing with the consequences of the older generation and are starting to question things about people so she does not blindly follow a misguided person and group.

I don't have much to say about Dash only that he was less annoying to me this time around. Jack-Jack on the other hand had a lot more screen time because there are so many powers of his to explore that it takes him having a ball of potential up to new levels. The movie points out that this represents his unknown potential which is an interesting take on how to see babies, but what I was more impressed by was what they implied about how Bob had to handle these powers- ergo how parents show raise their children. With a child so powerful, the best way to help him is to take care of him properly and not just feed into whatever he wants. Without raising a child properly, all of that potential would go to waste.

The animation was gorgeous and I can tell a lot more time was put into making it look more effortless and sleek. Even the tiniest of details like the strands of hair and the fabric of the clothing was noticed and I loved it. The action was stellar, and the final fight scene was my favorite. I felt the build up to this intense finale and it was all that I wanted and more. When looking back on it, this movie can be interpreted in a lot of ways with various plot points that are addressed, like them mentioning feminism, the privilege rich people have to get out of doing punishment, the villain's motivation, but I'll talk only about what I interpreted from supers being banned.

I could be wrong, but I think the whole banning and why people are afraid of supers returning boils down to how many people look at police officers in America. With all of this crime going on happening because of officers killing people for no reason- majority of them African American-people have grown more afraid of them. I even know of friends who are terrified if a police car is behind them while they drive just because they think that because they are dark-skinned, they will get shot.

People are losing more and more faith in this form of authority to the point where life just seems better without any officers to protect us because lately they seem to be doing more harm than good. However, this is similar thinking to how people may see people like me: African-Americans who are just ghetto and poor or caucasians who are all racist and privileged.

Something I don't like is stereotypes being placed on people, and these stereotypes are harmful to those that don't fit it. There are people who are outside of this mold and are so much more than what people may expect of them. With that being said, I think the sequels implies very subtly how the police can still be used for good because there are great people out there who do a great job at keeping their citizens safe. There are some bad eggs, but that doesn't make up the entirety of that group. So that's what Elastigirl represents, the officer that shows a personal look into the efforts needed to protect her town so she can show that her intentions are just and different from what people feared for so long.

Did I think too much into it? Not sure, maybe watch the movie so you can decide.

Incredibles 2 took a long time to arrive, but I think it was worth the wait. The story was exciting to follow and I think I might like it more than the first one, the characters were all lovable and relatable and I would watch it again if I had the chance and buy it on DvD when it's available. It's a thrilling film for children and adults alike that can be great for a movie night.

I give "Incredible 2" a 5 out of 5 stars.

P.S There is a Pixar short before the movie called "Bao" written and directed by Chinese-Canadian American artist Domee Shi. This 8 minute story presents a woman who cares for an anthropomorphic dumpling that becomes her son. Without spoiling much, this is a beautiful short that looks into the struggles of letting go of your children in order for them to grow up and be an individual because for nearly every parent their child will always be their baby. The dumplings made in the short looked so delicious; I wish they would've served them at my theater and the dumpling baby was the cutest little thing! I'd watch this one again too.

NOTE: I'm trying to improve on my editing skills for Youtube, so I would love it if you can watch my mini videos. This is the one for Incredibles 2. Thank you!

Did Tony always look that cute? He looks skinner and his hair looks darker. He reminds me of youtuber, Connor Franta.

Violet looks a lot younger. I'm glad the animation studios fixed that thing with the bags under her eyes. I always found that to be distracting.

I see Helen or Mrs. Incredible still looks amazing.

Is this going to be our villain? The guy who invited Frozone to some meeting? If so, that's very predictable.

So are they just going to disregard the fact that if The Incredibles didn't do anything The Underminer would have done more damage to the town and probably got away with even more stuff? That's like saying:

"You shouldn't have stopped that shooter, it caused a lot of damage to the building!"

"But I stopped him from shooting one person"

"That doesn't matter. You caused damage to the building"

Violet is taking a stand with her parents. Part of me likes it while another part of me is saying that that behavior could be seen as disrespectful. Although children should have a right to ask questions...

Bob is a freaking thrill junkie. He just got out of this life or death scenario that nearly killed his whole family yet he's ready to jump on the next opportunity to fight.

There has to be a plot twist somewhere...Winston and Evelyn's father didn't die, did he? Also, why would they leave the mother alive if she was right in the bed? Evelyn said she died months later, so that means she was left alive. That could be a lie though.

Is there a thing with Helen and Evelyn? Obviously Helen wouldn't take the bait, she's married but I felt something there with that look they shared.

Poor Violet, now she has to completely win over Tony's attention again. Tony has a really chill attitude though about a girl writing on his locker in permanent ink.

I read this part online: Bob's superhero ending career involved stopping a train and Helen's superhero revival began with stopping a train. That's an extra kick in the pants for Bob on why he feels so insecure.

That Jack-Jack and raccoon fight was awesome! From the powers I saw, my favorite is the multiplying one where there's more than one Jack-Jack. By the way, I'm assuming these powers aren't genetic at all since every Parr child has a totally different power from their parents. That's kind of scary, you can't really predict what they'll come out with.

I saw screenshots of Violet's freakout and I was scared that they turned her into this bratty teenager, but after seeing why she did that I think it was justified. Not to say if anyone else did that they'd get away without getting yelled at or beaten by their parent.

The message of the Screenslaver can be overshadowed by watching Elastigirl finding his headquarters and I found myself almost fading away from the message to pay attention to what was happening on screen. I don't know if it was intentional, but it was clever for Screenslaver to talk about how people using technology distracts that from the dangers in their world while people were probably distracting by what was on screen to pay attention to anything he said.

I really like how they're treating this whole Jack-Jack situation. Just because he's a very powerful child doesn't excuse him from being treated like the child that he is. It's not to say adults should demean his intelligence, but come on- he's just a baby and as a baby he should still be taught right from wrong. Without that, his powers becoming worthless to the good of mankind.

I knew it was Evelyn, kind of? I mean, I suspected her a few times but then I changed my mind. I am surprised it is only Evelyn in on this malicious route and not Winston as well.

The only time we see Bob and Helen kiss and it's when Helen is hypnotized and taking Bob off guard so he could be hypnotized too. That sucks, because the last kiss in the first movie was so touching this kind of dampens things.

So is all this build up Elastigirl being in the forefront just for nothing? This was really all about how the kids were right and they are stronger than the parents? I know that's not the case, I'm just a little upset over all of the adults being controlled.

Why do I already know that people are going to interpret Helen foolishly leaning towards Evelyn as sexual? Right, cause I found a drawing like that on Tumblr.

Why is Void scared that she'll mess up with the portals this time? She was perfectly fine throughout the movie.

I feel sad that Violet had to redo her meeting with Tony and all, but the more I think about it the more I am okay with it. After all, the only interaction they had before he lost his memory was during Dash's race so there wasn't much to lose after all.

Isn't it okay for Tony to know that Violet is a superhero now? I mean, superheroes are no longer banned so it's not an issue.

The end credits don't have any extra scenes but they do have theme songs for Mr. Incredible, Frozone, and Elastigirl that are catchy. I don't know if that's worth it enough to wait till all the credits roll.
