The Incredibles - Tumblr Posts
my dad used to be an actuary and whenever I mention this to people they're like "oh what's an actuary" so I tell them it's Mr Incredible's day job (it is) but the truth is this answers incredibly little. they hardly know a thing about what an actuary does and yet they are satisfied with the image that gives them. they don't feel the need to ask for any more than that. this is good for me because I also actually do not know what an actuary does.
This is my friends birthday present ✨
I drew it because it looks like him :)
Just throwing shit out into the aether, but I always loved the idea, in The Incredibles, of Bob adopting Buddy before Buddy’s decent.
This is a great backstory!! this needs to be canon
be nice to my good girl :’’’’)
(And you can read all my other Voyd comics here!)
finally decided to sit down and watch the incredibles again. there will be no commentary because i’m gonna be too busy watching it
Syndrome from the first Incredibles has transmasc vibes
This scene is life.
don’t talk to me unless you can quote this entire scene from memory
Pixar did not have to go as hard as they did with the Kronos Unveiled scene in The Incredibles (2004), yet they did anyway and gave us one of the best scenes in modern cinema. Literally cannot stop thinking about how good this scene is, from the animation to the build up to the soundtrack.
I don’t think I truly understood how dark this scene - and this film - was a child: Syndrome is systematically and strategically luring in superheroes and killing them off in order to test and improve his Omnidroid design… these people were not only supers but they also had family and loved ones too, just like Bob, and one day they would have just disappeared because chances are they weren’t telling people where they were going because it was "top secret" and against the law. They thought they were doing something good, like helping the people in the island, while also getting to relive their glory days, perhaps even paving the way for superheroes to make a proper comeback… only for Syndrome to kill them in cold blood.
Most of these people can actually be seen at Bob and Helen’s wedding in the beginning of the film - they weren’t just random supers, they were their friends, people they worked alongside and cared about. It’s even worse when you realise that Bob probably blames himself because, after all, Buddy/Syndrome was his biggest fan and he dismissed him by not letting him help.
The relief on Bob’s face when he realises Syndrome doesn’t know where Helen is - meaning he also doesn’t know where their children are because he didn’t realise they were married at this point - is so realistic and gut wrenching to see. The relief contrasting with the anguish of knowing how much danger they and their entire family could have been in the entire time without even knowing...it's so well-done, you can literally feel it.
It’s also worth noting that originally the next target wasn’t Mr Incredible but Frozone - that was who Mirage was trailing, hence why his location is “known”. Imagine if she/Syndrome hadn’t realised that Mr Incredible was with him and they’d lured Frozone in instead as planned; he would have gone to the island to fight the Omnidroid 8 in a volcano setting. We saw how being in the burning building dehydrated Frozone and made it impossible to use his ice powers - presumably it would have been the same in the middle of a lava filled volcano, and he’d have been slaughtered just like the other superheroes before him.
This scene shows an entire generation of superheroes - Bob, Helen and Lucius’ generation - wiped out all because Syndrome felt slighted by his hero as a child, because he internalised that slight and let it drive him to revenge. And, if we take into account the deleted alternate opening scene, it’s mentioned that superheroes "aren't supposed to breed” - meaning there’s a likelihood that Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack are among the very few supers of the next generation. I know that it's deleted and so not really canon, but it's definitely a concept to consider, I think.
Then there's the fact Syndrome named the project "Kronos" - Kronos was a God who overthrew his own father in order to take over his rule, and then he ate his own children to prevent them doing the same thing to him. It feels like it reflects Syndrome once looking up to Mr Incredible and even saying "I could be your ward!", meaning Mr Incredible adopting or fostering him - the project name is a metaphor for Syndrome destroying the Supers, especially Mr Incredible, who he viewed as a father figure. The Omnidroids he built killed two birds with one stone: not only was he able to acquire the data to upgrade the robot to its final design, but it also eliminated the real super heroes and so left him as the last remaining "superhero", even though his powers are man-made, not something he was born with.
Not only did he want to become the only remaining superhero by killing the real ones in revenge, he also planned to sell his inventions at some point so everyone can be super - because "when everyone is super, nobody is". It's like a final blow to the memory of the superheroes he had killed.
I've talked too much about this scene but God... I love it so much more as an adult because it's just so chilling to think about. I'm sure other people can put it much more articulately than I just tried to, but I just really wanted to appreciate this scene.

#25 Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack Parr from Disney-Pixar's The Incredibles
This trio of super kids has each others' backs and is ready to follow their super parents' lead on a mission to protect their world.
Oooop I ACTUALLY did another odd crossover?? - this time with Zelda and The Incredibles. - (a parody of the infamous “Where’s my super suit?”-scene)
honestly tho that scene in the incredibles where mr. incredible sees the names of all the old super heroes that used to be his friends / that he knew from Back in the Day and how every one of them has been killed by syndrome is such a chilling scene for so many reasons
like for one, everyone he knew is dead at this point and has been killed on the same island he’s at now and two, its heartbreaking bc that means that almost every hero wanted to try out being a hero again despite the laws against it and wanted to try and help someone out and relive their glory days, only to be straight up murdered like fuck that scene is just so fuckin intense
The incredibles (Movie)
AU The Fall, Death and Rebirth by Buddy Pines
So this is an awesome AU
Where the syndrome is resurrected by a medical surgeon from the criminal underworld (But he doesn't remember the crimes he committed in life but little by little he remembers over the years) with this he travels and works over a period of 4 years (1962 -1966) improved as a person and even inventing another plan to end his incredible family once and for all, but he remains divided in this thought (in the middle of the journey he will learn for better or worse that there are people after him and wanting him dead, in addition to there are other villains and heroes, journalists and even a secret sect of villains)
I don't want to focus on the lives of heroes but on the lives of villains (their dilemmas, fears, moral rules, their everyday lives)
I want to do a comic book or fanfic one day (to put this whole concept to rest) I really like the Incredibles franchise and Syndrome is one of my favorite Pixar villains.
Here I just wanted to do some scribbles at first to start and then I'll improve the format.
these were the last drawings I made in the year 2023
