If everyone’s super, no one is. But, somehow, the Parr family continues to stand out as a downright heroic example of the genre at its best. Mostly because, beneath the spandex, it’s not really about crime-fighting at all. Instead, it authentically explores a mid-life crisis inside a traditional nuclear family. Well, “traditional,” except for the fact they can actually go nuclear. Yeah, to put it lightly, those fight scenes are “totally wicked.” Alongside the fantastic music, nuanced character arcs, and the scene-stealing Edna Mode, this film’s legacy has stretched on long enough to make even Elastigirl jealous. It’s safe to say that “The Incredibles” is more than incredible.
