Wasn't that memorable, especially since the first one was loved by everyone. They should've jumped in time like 10 years, going straight from the ending from the first one I wasn't fukking with. Maybe if they do another sequel...

All of this. The movie reflects that era. Mr incredible, along with a lot of men at that time, were out of their element trying to raise kids because they never had to do that. It makes sense Elasti-girl would be dope at both jobs because she had to do both jobs; Bob didn’t.

It’s fine. Being mad at the theme, especially that theme that has percolated in society every decade, isn’t the move

If she was a 60s mom, she would have been sitting at home the whole time. And there would have been some kind of ramp up for her to sharpen up her skills while Daddy took over the home making. But we never see a 60s version of her. Even in the last movie, they were talking on modern co-parenting styles. Remember when she told Bob to "Engage!"?

She told him to engage and he barely did it. He “engaged” by moonlighting as a superhero. That was the whole point of the first movie; him learning that being a dad or a husband didn’t make him less of a superhero and he was still the man. Just in a different way. So yes she was that mom. Her job became stay at home mom. He went out and brought home the bacon and all that jazz.

For me, bob doesn’t become less of a man because he willingly watches the kids and becomes a bigger part of their lives. In every marriage, there comes a point where you switch roles, even if it’s a slight degree. One year your wife may make more money than you. One year you may get the better promotion and you have to move states or out of the country. The shyt is fluid. Bob saying he’ll be the one to take care of the kids, and see it as a challenge and something to conquer, is perfectly inline with the character.

That’s not an “agenda” that shyt is life. And even then, in the end, they won the day by having all of them be a unit, not one person shining over everyone else. So yes, she’s a great mom and a great superhero, she still needed her husbands help and needed him to see shyt she didn’t or couldn’t. And even then without the kids, they’re both fukked.

Again, that’s life. You switch roles. You support. You’re a team. And you handle business as a team

I'd agree with you if the movie was scripted like Mr. Mom; two parents struggling with their new roles and finding a way to work out on their own terms. But, that's now how it goes down. The beginning sets up Elastigirl as a more effective hero and the one who's going to be at the forefront (temporarily). Bob is made to look like a stressed out buffoon the whole time slowly fall apart. Mom has zero problems doing both her new job and HIS...AT THE SAME TIME (kids calling her for help while she's out saving the world). Now, which story are they telling us? We see in the beginning that they're both fighting side-by-side. So, when they were going home, he was just kicking back sucking down beers while she did all the work? And this is my problem, you can't have it both ways. The stay-at-home mom role is in the past as they're both obviously in the field now. Bob comes to rescue HER in the sequel and gets clowned and needs the kids to bail him out.

What they did in this movie was basically tell the same story with the roles reversed (including the villain's past ties to Mr. Incredible), but at every turn they make Mr. Incredible a moron and weak. Even when he goes to see Edna (just like Elastigirl did), it's played to make him look like an incompetent parent.
