Added a section on its anti-egalitarian themes, I tried to include at least one reference to a critic, but I'd enjoy seeing more scholarly expansion.

==Anti-Egalitarian Themes==
The movie ''The Incredibles'' contains what some have discerned to be anti-[[egalitarian]] themes. Part of the twist in the film is that the superheroes are sued for injuring victims while saving them. The Incredibles family takes on the alias "Parr" and be "live everybody else." As critic [[Roger Ebert]] noted, the film "has special qualities, especially in the subtle ways it observes its gifted characters trying to dumb down and join the crowd." <ref> http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041104/REVIEWS/41006004 </ref>
The goal of the villian, Syndrome, is to destroy all the 'real' superheroes so that he can be one himself. When Mr. Incredible accuses him of not being a real superhero, Syndrome responds:
{{Cquote|Oh, I'm real. Real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I'll give them heroics. I'll give them the most spectacular heroics the world has ever seen! And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that everyone can have powers. Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super - [chuckles] -no one will}}
