History WesternAnimation / Incredibles2

* MisplacedRetribution: Evelyn wants to keep supers illegal because [[spoiler:she blames the death of her parents on her father's insistence to call for a hero on a private line during a burglary rather than fleeing to a safe room. The big problem is that the burglary occurred after the Super Relocation Act had passed and all superheroes were forced underground. It's not really the supers' fault that her father decided to call for heroes that would be unable to answer. Furthermore, it's likely the same thing would've happened if he'd insisted on calling mundane law enforcement like the police, who couldn't be there immediately to save him.]]

* AloneWithThePsycho: When [[spoiler: Helen is alone with Evelyn Deavor and gets her EurekaMoment which prompts Evelyn to intervene and reveal herself to the audience as the Screenslaver]].
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: When Bob tries getting Violet and Tony back together without Violet being in on the plan, Violet's surprise [[spoiler: makes tap water [[SprayingDrinkFromNose shoot out of her nose]]]] while Bob unknowingly hams it up to try and charm him, including complimenting the water even after learning it's tap. Later, the ''whole family'' drives the two of them to the movie, all the while admitting that they were planning on being in the theater, but in a different row. While Bob and Helen claim that they just wanted to watch a movie, Violet does not buy it.

* CompanyCrossReferences: The [[Franchise/ToyStory Pizza Planet Truck]] can be seen outside the building where Elastigirl captures and rescues the [[spoiler: fake Screenslaver]]. The truck likely belonged to him considering [[spoiler: Evelyn revealed the one she set up was a pizza delivery guy]].
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Bob and Helen wear trench coats over their costumes to go to their nighttime meeting with Winston. Violet is very suspicious.

** During the skirmishes that take place aboard the ''Everjust'', events align for Violet to have the definitive one-on-one fight with [[spoiler: a hypnotized Voyd who loses and is knocked out]].

* EtTuBrute: Played with. [[spoiler: Helen claims to be shocked and betrayed that Evelyn is the Screenslaver and that her plan is to smear the image of Supers in the eyes of the public permanently. Screenslaver quickly reminds her that they barely knew each other.]]

*** At one point Evelyn states [[spoiler: "I'm [[TheManBehindTheMan the genius behind the genius."]]]]

* HiredToHuntYourself: Helen asks Winston and Evelyn to set up another interview with Chad Brently to create a scenario to track the Screenslaver. This creates an interesting situation because [[spoiler: Helen doesn't know that Evelyn actually ''is'' the Screenslaver and the person they're hunting is just some hapless pizza delivery guy hypnotized into being the fall guy.]]

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: Helen is among the hypnotized supers who gives a televised speech to the world about how supers have become bitter whilst in hiding. It contrasts sharply with the Helen we've come to know from the first movie, the one who ''didn't'' become embittered, but instead made the most of her normal life (by raising a family).]]

* KissOfDistraction: [[spoiler: Bob is forced into a fight with a hypnotized Helen. He attempts to get her to snap out of it, and it seems to work as she stops attacking and suddenly kisses him. Unfortunately, Helen uses the distraction to slap the mind control goggles on Bob's face, making him hypnotized as well.]]

* NonIndicativeName: As Violet points out, the waiter at the Happy Platter restaurant who shows the Parr family their table does not seem very happy, and is instead clearly bored. That is until [[spoiler: Tony]], who works there, shows up and he is friendly.

* ThePowerOfLove: Exploited. [[spoiler: Helen, while hypnotized, fakes the "able to free their loved one from mind control" aspect of the trope to trick Bob into lowering his defences and slip hypno-goggles on him.]]

* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler: Helen assumes that the Screenslaver is a man, and at first, she seems to be proven right when she unmasks the Screenslaver, revealing a nervous young man in the costume. However, it turns out he was just a decoy, and Evelyn Deavor was the actual Screenslaver the whole time.]]

* SpottingTheThread: [[spoiler: Helen noticed that, despite the fight the Screenslaver put her through, it was just too easy. She remarks that his locks were too conventional, that the odds of a surly pizza delivery boy being able to mastermind everything himself were too steep, and that one of the screens in Screenslaver's lair was tuning in to the signal on her closed-circuit costume-cam.]]

* TheWorfEffect: Brick's SuperStrength is given ample demonstration when she fights [[spoiler: Bob]] and is shown knocking him across the room and slamming him into the bulkhead so hard that it dents.

* EvilOverlooker: In [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/incredibles_2.png this poster]], Screenslaver can be seen looming over the "I" above the family.

''Incredibles 2'' is Creator/{{Pixar}}'s twentieth animated film, released on June 15, 2018 and the sequel to the 2004 film ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'' [[note]](you didn't read that wrong by the way, that's a ''staggering'' '''''[[SequelGap 14 years]]''''' since the first one)[[/note]]. Creator/BradBird returns as writer and director, as does most of the original voice acting cast.

''Incredibles 2'' is Creator/{{Pixar}}'s twentieth animated film, released on June 15, 2018 and the sequel to the 2004 film ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1''. Creator/BradBird returns as writer and director, as does most of the original voice acting cast.

** There are a few hints in the movie that the Screenslaver that Helen fights is the decoy:

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** A threefer during the [[RunawayTrain Maglev Rescue]]:
*** When Helen splits the train, the split severs the electrical circuit, and since it's a ''maglev'', the loss in power causes the train to drop onto its rails, producing a horrific screech and a shower of sparks.
*** As the rear two cars are significantly heavier than the lone front car (the train was going backwards, mind you), they have more momentum, forcing Helen to form a parachute to stop them in time.
*** After severing the front car, it doesn't [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse spontaneously cease to exist]], but instead comes back with a vengeance, slamming into the rest of the train with enough force that the rear car ends up TeeteringOnTheEdge, and would likely have fallen off the track entirely if it wasn't still connected to the middle car.
** Edna Mode accounts for this while designing the countermeasures in Jack-Jack's super suit. Since he's still a toddler, he naturally starts eating the fluffy flame retardant foam after it's deployed, so she developed it to be perfectly edible and still effective.

* At the end, Violet gives a more subtle one- when dropping Tony off at the movies to stop a group of gun-toting robbers, she tells him "I'll be back before the previews are over!"

* FanservicePack: Helen was redesigned to be [[BoobsOfSteel more buxom]] and toned, and Violet has slightly wider hips than in the first movie. Violet and Tony also received upgraded designs, the former also having longer hair.

* EpilepticFlashingLights: Social media health watchdogs expressed concerns, and [[https://www.inverse.com/article/46069-incredibles-2-disney-health-warning-epilepsy Disney subsequently issued warnings]], that Screenslaver's mind-control hypnosis makes use of patterned strobe effects that could trigger seizures in epileptic viewers.
** Some theaters offered a version of the film that omitted these strobe effects entirely.

** The [[Franchise/ToyStory Pizza Planet Truck]] can be seen outside the building where Elastigirl captures and rescues the [[spoiler: fake Screenslaver]]. The truck likely belonged to him considering [[spoiler: Evelyn revealed the one she set up was a pizza delivery guy]].

* ImplausibleCorneredEscape: Violet and her two siblings are infiltrating the evil lair, when Jack-Jack makes a noise that alarms one of the guards outside. Violet sees the guard approaching through the door window and scans the room for escape routes. Cut to the guard bursting through the door, finding the room empty. Then the camera slowly pans up the air duct below the ceiling, where the kid heroes have escaped into in no time.

!!Spoilers for ''Incredibles 2'' will be tagged as usual. However, due to its nature as a sequel, this page contains unmarked spoilers for ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned!

* ActionizedSequel: ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' had plenty of action sequences, but ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'' kicks them up a notch, due at least in part to the better CGI technology available after 14 years.

* CanonMarchesOn: Given that the film leads off with fighting and defeating the Underminer and then goes into Helen becoming family breadwinner and Bob adapting to being a HouseHusband, ''[=I2=]'' ignores [[ComicBook/TheIncredibles the comic adaptation]] and the ''[[VideoGame/TheIncrediblesRiseOfTheUnderminer Rise of the Underminer]]'' game in favor of only needing the audience to be familiar with the previous film (and, optionally, its spin-off, ''[[WesternAnimation/PixarShorts Jack-Jack Attack]]'').

* SwitchingPOV: Between the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' and the introductory scene. The flashback, showing the rise of the Underminer is seen not from the Parr family's viewpoint, but from InnocentBystander Tony Rydinger's. It's a lot more unsettling to have a supervillain bursting through the ground with his giant drill vehicle, and having cars crashing down around when you don't have superpowers.

''Incredibles 2'' is Creator/{{Pixar}}'s twentieth animated film, released on June 15, 2018 and the sequel to the 2004 film ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. Creator/BradBird returns as writer and director, as does most of the original voice acting cast.

* {{Thememobile}}: Elastigirl gets a new Elasticycle designed by Evelyn and Mr. Incredible gets his Incredibile back.

** The BigBad yells "No!" when Elastigirl smashes the hypno-goggles on Frozone and Bob.

* {{Thememobile}}: Elastigirl gets a new Elasticycle designed by Evelyn and Bob gets his Incredibile back.

Everyone's favorite family of superheroes is back -- but this time Helen (Creator/HollyHunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (Creator/CraigTNelson) at home with Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner), and Jack-Jack to navigate the day-to-day heroics of "normal" life.

* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: Like its predecessor, this film earns its PG rating by portraying more mature content including the drinking of alcohol by primary characters, considerable action-related violence, and dialogue. Evelyn Deavor gives us not only a "hell" and a "crap," but also an "I'll be damned". Violet says "Boys are jerks and superheroes suck." There are also at least three utterances of "Oh my God!" A CurseCutShort with Frozone's "What the f-!" and Bob himself gives us "I eat thunder and crap lightning!".

** The BigBad, Screenslaver, when Helen smashes the hypno-goggles on Frozone and Bob.

Everyone's favorite family of superheroes is back -- but this time Elastigirl (Creator/HollyHunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Mr. Incredible (Creator/CraigTNelson) at home with Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner), and Jack-Jack to navigate the day-to-day heroics of "normal" life.

* TenMinuteRetirement: After learning that Dicker erased all of Tony's memories of her, Violet renounces superheroism and unsuccessfully attempts to destroy her super suit. However, when her mother is in trouble and her dad leaves to rescue her, she gets out her, Dash's, and Elastigirl's super suits, and renounces her renunciation.

* ActuallyADoombot: Elastigirl thought she defeated [[spoiler:the Screenslaver after tracking "his" signal, but it turns out to be a decoy that the real Screenslaver had hypnotized to play the role.]]
* AdultsAreUseless: Played with. The adult supers (including Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl and Frozone) are actually quite competent, but when they are incapacitated, it comes down to the kids (Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack) to try and save the day. [[spoiler:It comes down to Jack-Jack nudging Elastigirl's goggles enough to free her which turns the tide of the final battle.]]
* AdvertisedExtra: Although that raccoon appeared on posters and toys, in the film, he only appears in the scene where Jack-Jack fights him and Mr. Incredible sees his powers.
* AloneWithThePsycho: When [[spoiler:Elastigirl is alone with Evelyn Deavor and gets her EurekaMoment which prompts Evelyn to intervene and reveal herself to the audience as the Screenslaver]].
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: When Mr. Incredible tries getting Violet and Tony back together without Violet being in on the plan, Violet's surprise [[spoiler: makes tap water [[SprayingDrinkFromNose shoot out of her nose]]]] while Mr. Incredible unknowingly hams it up to try and charm him, including complimenting the water even after learning it's tap. Later, the ''whole family'' drives the two of them to the movie, all the while admitting that they were planning on being in the theater, but in a different row. While Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl claim that they just wanted to watch a movie, Violet does not buy it.

** Mr. Incredible, who just broke free from the hypnosis, wonders why the others talk about escape. His question of who they're escaping from is answered when the other mind-controlled supers break into the room.

* AscendedFanboy: The new superheroes who emerge as a result of Elastigirl's growing popularity. Voyd is especially this, genuinely idolizing Elastigirl and eventually getting a chance to directly help her against Screenslaver.
* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: Like its predecessor, this film earns its PG rating by portraying more mature content including the drinking of alcohol by primary characters, considerable action-related violence, and dialogue. Evelyn Deavor gives us not only a "hell" and a "crap," but also an "I'll be damned". Violet says "Boys are jerks and superheroes suck." There are also at least three utterances of "Oh my God!" A CurseCutShort with Frozone's "What the f-!" and Mr. Incredible himself gives us "I eat thunder and crap lightning!".

** Screenslaver holds their own very well in their fight against Elastigirl even without any powers, besides the various hypnotic gadgets. [[spoiler:Since the decoy Screenslaver is just a hypnotized pizza delivery guy, even Evelyn admits she was surprised at how well he fought back.]]

** Downplayed. Mr. Incredible had just started to get a handle on running the household when he learns of Jack-Jack's ComboPlatterPowers. The sheer variety of these abilities quickly outstrips Mr. Incredible's capacity to cope; while he isn't injured by anything Jack-Jack can dish out, it does run Mr. Incredible to exhaustion from keeping up with the baby.

* BaitAndSwitch: Talking to Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl and Frozone about putting heroes back into the spotlight, Winston Deavor appears at first to be building up to having Mr. Incredible as their public figure... only to choose Elastigirl as their best option.

* BattleTrophy: [[spoiler:After the decoy Screenslaver's arrest, Elastigirl is given his mask as a memento. Turns out it still has the hypno-goggles inside which controlled the decoy, and the real Screenslaver, Evelyn, uses them on Elastigirl once she figures out what's going on.]]

* BeepingComputers: At the end of the RunawayTrain action sequence, the brainwashed train conductor's monitor makes beeping sounds as the Screenslaver's message for Elastigirl appears.

** Frozone arrives in the nick of time to prevent the monorail from crashing while Mr. Incredible and Elasti-Girl are busy with the DrillTank.

* BigFancyHouse: The ''spare'' house Winston Deavor puts the Parrs in while Elastigirl is working with him is gorgeous. It's spacious and tastefully furnished, with a customizable remote-controlled living room with fancy waterworks, a big yard, and a pool.

** The BigBad, Screenslaver, when Elastigirl smashes the hypno-goggles on Frozone and Mr. Incredible.

* BlackComedy: Elastigirl suffering hypoxia while fighting the Screenslaver on the plane. She sounds drunk and loopy, but her dialogue conveys a primal fear - ''"I don't wanna die."''

** Mr. Incredible tells Elastigirl that he and the kids are fine on her first day away, when they're anything but.
* BookEnds: Played with. The first movie has Mr. Incredible "masking up" at the beginning in the Incredibile to become Mr. Incredible and it ends with the entire family "masking up" to take on the Underminer. The sequel shifts right into that battle. [[spoiler:And it ends with the entire family again "masking up" in their new family-style Incredibile ready to fight crime. For bonus points, the first movie opens with Mr. Incredible pursuing robbers who are being chased by police in his Incredibile. The sequel ends the same way, only this time the whole family comes along for the ride.]]
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl's conflict in the beginning. Elastigirl wants the kids to be safe and not have to risk going to jail for using their powers, which is against the law. Mr. Incredible points out that the kids don't ''have'' to become superheroes, but he wants them to be able to have that choice, and questions why you should respect a law if said law is disrespectful.

** [[spoiler:The decoy Screenslaver is just some pizza delivery man that the real Screenslaver, Evelyn Deavor, hypnotized to be her fall guy because he was "surly".]]

** When the Parrs first arrive at Winston's "spare" house, Mr. Incredible is initially very impressed with the "water feature" when Dash plays around with the house's decorative indoor ponds. A few days later, when Mr. Incredible is rushing to search through his old belongings he falls into one of the decorative indoor ponds. After getting out, he mumbles "Stupid water feature!"

* BrokenLeverOfDoom: When Mr. Incredible fights with the Underminer inside his tunneler vehicle, he is thrown onto a control panel, severely bending a lever in the process. Later when Mr. Incredible tries to stop the vehicle, the lever snaps off and he watches helplessly as the machine digs its way to the surface causing extensive collateral damage to the city before it is stopped.
* BuildingSwing: Elastigirl uses her elongated arms to swing from building to building, Spider-Man-style. Or to grab a helicopter in flight.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Violet reads her dad the riot act when she finds out that he asked Mr. Dicker to wipe Tony's memory, including of their date. She says she hates supers, renounces hero work, tries to destroy her suit, and marches off in a rage. Mr. Incredible tries to make things right by staging an interaction between Violet and Tony at his part-time job but only makes Violet feel worse. The two finally reconcile when Mr. Incredible, although exhausted from dealing with Jack-Jack, takes the time to apologize to Violet for all that he put her through.

** Dash, at one point, is watching the classic ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'' cartoon. The Quest Labs building is also seen, implying that that show is based on actual events, akin to the Mr. Incredible cartoon.

* CanonMarchesOn: Given that the film leads off with fighting and defeating the Underminer and then goes into Elastigirl becoming family breadwinner and Mr. Incredible adapting to being a HouseHusband, ''[=I2=]'' ignores [[ComicBook/TheIncredibles the comic adaptation]] and the ''[[VideoGame/TheIncrediblesRiseOfTheUnderminer Rise of the Underminer]]'' game in favor of only needing the audience to be familiar with the previous film (and, optionally, its spin-off, ''[[WesternAnimation/PixarShorts Jack-Jack Attack]]'').
* CardboardBoxOfUnemployment: Downplayed. During a phone call between Mr. Incredible and Rick Dicker, we see the latter packing up things at his desk into a cardboard box.
* CarloadOfCoolKids: The first time Elastigirl takes the new Elasticycle out, one of these drives up beside her to cheer her on and offer encouragement.
* CartesianKarma: When Elastigirl takes down the Screenslaver, he is arrested and sent to jail. [[spoiler:He turns out to be a decoy Screenslaver who was an UnwittingPawn that the real Screenslaver, Evelyn, used and is actually an innocent pizza delivery guy.]]

** Mr. Incredible and Edna dive to catch Jack-Jack at different points but when Edna attempts to catch him, he uses his power to elevate and stop his fall right before hitting the ground.
** Elastigirl does this to the Screenslaver. Twice.

** The Incredibile from Mr. Incredible's GloryDays is revealed to be intact and functional early in the movie. Later, [[spoiler:Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack use it to escape from the hypnotized supers that have come to kidnap them.]]
** The flare gun Elastigirl uses against Screenslaver can be seen briefly moments before when it pops out of the emergency kit.

** Jack-Jack quietly displays the power of telekinesis when he lifts and replaces the lid on the trashcan that triggers his fight with the raccoon. This becomes important later when he uses this ability to [[spoiler:dislodge the hypno-goggles from Elastigirl's eyes, freeing her from Evelyn's control]].
* ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs: At breakfast, Mr. Incredible pulls away Dash's sugar-coated cereal and gives him Fiber-O's to eat instead.
* ClothingDamage: The shoulder of Elastigirl's outfit gets ripped during the endgame battle. Fortunately her red Incredibles costume is immediately made available.
* CombatPragmatist: The real Screenslaver gains a significant advantage over Elastigirl by bouncing her around the airplane cabin with erratic piloting. They also reduce the oxygen throughout the plane, causing Elastigirl to suffer from hypoxia, making it hard for her to fight back.
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl wear trench coats over their costumes to go to their nighttime meeting with Winston. Violet is very suspicious.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: In the first film, Syndrome was bombastic, desperate to be the center of attention, and had a borderline Bond-villain-like organization. Screenslaver, the antagonist of this film, is quieter and has a lower profile than Syndrome. [[spoiler:Their motivations contrast significantly as well; Syndrome wishes to make everyone super so actual supers are no longer exceptional, while Screenslaver wants supers to go back into hiding so that mankind will stop relying on them]].
* CoolBike: The Elasticycle, which is capable of splitting in half, making it ideally suited for Elastigirl's stretching ability. It's also powered by electric motors, so it accelerates even faster than a typical combustion-powered motorcycle.

** [[https://pixar.wikia.com/wiki/Incredibile The Incredibile]], which initially only appeared in the prelude of the first movie [[note]]and a mention in the "NSA files" ''The Incredibles'' DVD bonus content of how much Mr. Incredible had loved that car[[/note]], comes back with a vengeance halfway through this movie.

* CostumeEvolution: An interesting inversion. While participating in Winston's superhero PR plan, Elastigirl's costume is a less colorful and darker version of the bright, colorful one she wore during the GloryDays segment of the first film. After [[spoiler:she gets freed from the Screenslaver's mind control]], she returns to her Edna-designed Incredibles costume.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Krushauer is established to have the power to crush anything using his [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]]. Mr. Incredible asks Krushauer to un-crush the hallway he blocked off before, which perplexes the hero, who says asking him to un-crush something is like him asking Mr. Incredible to "un-punch" something.

* CutLexLuthorACheck: {{Invoked|Trope}} and {{discussed|Trope}} by Elastigirl. Part of her suspicion that there's more going on with Screenslaver is that [[spoiler:he's just a pizza delivery boy, when anybody with this level of skill and tech shouldn't need to keep such a low wage job.]]
* ADayInHerApron: Mr. Incredible agrees to take care of the household in order to allow Elastigirl to work with the Deavors to try and restore Superhero rights. At first, he has some rocky moments attending to everything but appears to be getting things under control. Then Jack-Jack demonstrates he has powers causing Mr. Incredible to be completely overwhelmed and leading to a downward spiral of not getting enough sleep and making poor decisions to try and help Violet's dating problem. All while refusing to call Elastigirl for help.

** The FinalBattle between Elastigirl and [[spoiler: the real Screenslaver, Evelyn Deavor]].
* DestructiveSavior: Due to the nature of their powers, Mr. Incredible and Frozone's heroics are noted as causing much more collateral damage than Elastigirl's; that's the reason why she's chosen as the Supers' representative.

** Although Screenslaver was aware that the Parr children had evaded their {{Mooks}}, they're caught off-guard when the kids show up on the ''Everjust'' and is particularly thrown off by the existence of a super-powered baby.
** Screenslaver also didn't anticipate that the FlareGun from the jet's emergency kit could be used as a weapon.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Regarding having Tony mind-wiped, Mr. Incredible only thought of the situation in superhero terms of preserving Violet's identity. He didn't stop to consider how the mind-wipe could affect Tony's budding relationship with Violet so he didn't inform Agent Dicker that Tony was anyone important to Violet.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: The movie leads you into thinking that the [[spoiler:masked Screenslaver is the main villain. But, Elastigirl captures that version of Screenslaver two-thirds into the movie. The real Screenslaver reveals themself to be Evelyn Deavor, who created the decoy, then hypnotizes the [=DevTech=] Supers as well as Elastigirl, Frozone, and Mr. Incredible in a plot to permanently ruin their efforts to regain public trust.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: Screenslaver orchestrates the events that send a pizza guy to prison because "he was surly and the pizza was cold".

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in-universe. When Mr. Incredible tells Dash that it's dangerous to play around with the Incredibile's remote control, since it has a rocket launcher, Dash enthusiastically tries to launch the rockets.

** The Underminer has a second, smaller DrillTank inside his main tank which he uses to escape Mr. Incredible.
** Screenslaver uses a jet built into the top of the ''Everjust'' to escape once the plan is in motion.
* EtTuBrute: Played with. [[spoiler:Elastigirl claims to be shocked and betrayed that Evelyn is the Screenslaver and that her plan is to smear the image of Supers in the eyes of the public permanently. Screenslaver quickly reminds her that they barely knew each other.]]

* EvidenceDungeon: Elastigirl finds Screenslaver [[spoiler:or at least a decoy]] in their lair, but it [[SelfDestructMechanism blows up]] with all the evidence inside.
* EvilAllAlong: Elastigirl learns that the Screenslaver [[spoiler:she caught was just a decoy setup by the ''real'' Screenslaver, Evelyn Deavor. It's revealed that she manipulated the events of the film as an elaborate revenge plot on supers because she blames a reliance on them for the death of her father.]]

* EvilGloating: Where the last movie discussed the inherent silliness of the trope, this movie plays it incredibly straight. [[spoiler:After Evelyn has already successfully gotten Elastigirl under her hypnosis, she restrains Elastigirl long enough to shut off her hypno-goggles just so she can explain her EvilPlan and FreudianExcuse to Elastigirl, and then turn the goggles back on and continue with her plan. To Evelyn's credit she does restrain Elastigirl well enough that Elastigirl cannot escape while she monologues.]]

* ExactWords: Elastigirl asks Mr. Incredible how Jack-Jack is doing. Mr. Incredible replies that Jack-Jack is in excellent health. He's not exactly wrong or lying.

** Mr. Incredible develops these as taking care of the kids wears down his patience and sanity.
** Evelyn is shown with these from her first appearance in the film. Unknown if it's a result of her constant drinking or from all the work she's doing developing tech for Elastigirl, a combination of the two, or even a cosmetic decision.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: After seeing Jack-Jack fight the raccoon, Mr. Incredible is initially elated to learn that his son has powers. However, as he talks it through, he suddenly realizes the problems of having a toddler with the powers he just witnessed.
-->'''Mr. Incredible:''' Did you go through the locked door? Are those your powers? You can multiply like rabbits and go right through any solid... Oh my God!

* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Averted. Conventional firearms are present throughout and Elastigirl even briefly uses a dropped gun to shoot a door lock out. She even uses a ''flare gun'' as an ImprovisedWeapon against Screenslaver, which still causes an explosion from hitting an air tank.
* FanservicePack: Elastigirl was redesigned to be [[BoobsOfSteel more buxom]] and toned, and Violet has slightly wider hips than in the first movie. Violet and Tony also received upgraded designs, the former also having longer hair.

* Fiction500: The Deavors head DEVTECH, one of the world's richest telecommunications companies. As a result, Winston and Evelyn are able to provide Elastigirl with cutting-edge technology, own several "spare" houses, and produce the CoolBoat on which the climax takes place.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: While conversing with Elastigirl, Evelyn claims that consumers will sacrifice quality for ease every time, [[spoiler:which is a very similar sentiment to the Screenslaver's MotiveRant. She is revealed to be the real Screenslaver before the scene is over.]]
* FlareGun: Elastigirl uses one as a weapon to shoot Screenslaver's oxygen-tank backpack, causing it to rupture and propel them out of the plane.

* FoodAsBribe: When Jack-Jack shifts into another dimension, Mr. Incredible uses a cookie treat to lure him back into his home dimension. It's an effective enough bribe, but when Mr. Incredible doesn't continue to feed him cookies, Jack-Jack has a tantrum and shifts into his demon imp form and starts biting Mr. Incredible's arm. Frozone later creates ice balls for Jack-Jack to gnaw on to keep him quiet.
* ForcedFriendlyFire: When Elastigirl has to fight both Mr. Incredible and Frozone on the ship's bridge, she jumps onto Frozone and directs his stream of ice onto Mr. Incredible.

** There are a few hints in the movie that the Screenslaver that Elastigirl fights is the decoy:

*** At one point Evelyn states "I'm [[TheManBehindTheMan the genius behind the genius]]," before being [[spoiler:revealed as the Screenslaver, the person who set up the original decoy Screenslaver]].
*** Evelyn is often seen with unkempt hair and ExhaustedEyeBags, before [[spoiler:revealing that she'd been busy as the Screenslaver, as well as]] her normal duties.

* ForWantOfANail: If Screenslaver's hypnotized supers had managed to capture the Parr kids, they wouldn't have made it onboard the ''Everjust'' to free their parents and foil their plan.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Mr. Incredible is on the phone with Elastigirl when she is asking him about the kids, you can see Jack-Jack in a stare-off through the sliding glass door with the raccoon he fought earlier, clearly wanting a rematch.
* GaggingOnYourWords: Mr. Incredible can barely get the words out when he's being supportive of Elastigirl's new job. Elastigirl actually notes how "painful" it is for him.
* GasCylinderRocket: Elastigirl shoots the oxygen tank on Screenslaver's back with a FlareGun, which ruptures it and causes them to be propelled out of the plane.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Subverted. When Chad Brentley, the show host, falls victim to the Screenslaver's hypnosis, Elastigirl's attempt at slapping him out of it has no effect.
* GettingTheBabyToSleep: Mr. Incredible struggles to get Jack-Jack to sleep.
* GettingReadyForBedPlot: The book Mr. Incredible reads to Jack-Jack is about everyone in "Doozledorf" going to bed.

* HappilyMarried: Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl again. There is still some tension, such as their clearly differing opinion on battling the Underminer. However, they remain as committed and supportive of each other as ever. When the program is shut down and they are planning what they're going to do in the face of impending homelessness, Elastigirl offers to become the breadwinner so Mr. Incredible can become a HouseHusband and not have to return to a job he hates, showing her concern for Mr. Incredible's happiness. Although Mr. Incredible is very much disappointed that Elastigirl gets to be the new face for superhero legalization, he does try to be supportive and look after their kids. He nearly breaks himself completely to make sure Elastigirl does well and does not hesitate to suit up and rescue her when he finds out she's in danger.

** Discussed with regards to the damage caused by the Underminer. The money he stole from the bank was insured and there are contingencies in place that would have covered the initial damage. Mr. Incredible's failed attempt to capture the Underminer caused more collateral damage than expected.
** While explaining his PR plan to the Incredibles and Frozone, Winston mentions that they have set up insurance to cover any potential damage and decides to send Elastigirl out as the first representative since she has a history of causing the least amount of collateral damage.

* HiredToHuntYourself: Elastigirl asks Winston and Evelyn to set up another interview with Chad Brently to create a scenario to track the Screenslaver. This creates an interesting situation because [[spoiler:Elastigirl doesn't know that Evelyn actually ''is'' the Screenslaver and the person they're hunting is just some hapless pizza delivery guy hypnotized into being the fall guy.]]

** ''The Incredibles'' begins with Mr. Incredible's heroics inadvertently causing property damage and injuring civilians as the bad guy responsible gets away. This film starts off with Frozone and the Incredibles trying to stop the Underminer's heist and inadvertently [[DestructiveSaviour causing severe property damage in the process]], complete with [[spoiler:the bad guy responsible getting away]].
** This film has both Frozone and Elastigirl having to deal with a RunawayTrain like Mr. Incredible did in the first movie. It's a painful blow to Mr. Incredible's ego, since they were are able to safely stop the train without major damage or causing harm to the passengers, whereas Mr. Incredible's efforts resulted in injuries and lawsuits that led to the Super Relocation Act.

* HypnoTrinket: Elastigirl realizes that the Screenslaver's technology would allow them to create screens that aren't obvious screens. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, at that exact moment Screenslaver slaps a pair of hypno-goggles on her.]]
* HypocrisyNod: Elastigirl acknowledges that she is being a hypocrite when she is listening in for a crime to thwart when she herself reprimanded Mr. Incredible for doing the same thing in the past.

** Tony Rydinger's memory being erased is shown to the audience in the first scene and later we see that Mr. Incredible had reported Tony's knowledge to Agent Dicker. This leaves Violet unaware that a memory wipe was likely and thinks that Tony is just pretending to not know her because he thinks she's a freak. When Mr. Incredible hears Violet complaining he knows a memory wipe occurred and starts to ease the conversation into how many times Dicker did wipes for them. That's when Violet realizes what happened and Mr. Incredible realizes that Dicker removed all of Tony's memories of Violet, not just the superhero reveal part.
* InvoluntarySmileOfIncapacitation: When Elastigirl confronts Screenslaver on a jet plane, they steer the plane up high enough for Elastigirl to become affected with hypoxia. The delirious Elastigirl grins and starts to spout some [[NonSequiturThud non sequiturs]].
* IronicEcho: Winston tells the heroes that the reason the world doesn't like superheroes is because of "perspective" (people see destruction, they see superheroes, they blame superheroes). [[spoiler:Later, Evelyn claims that her brother has a "childish perspective" -- "Superheroes go away, mommy and daddy go away."]]
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Elastigirl is among the hypnotized supers who gives a televised speech to the world about how supers have become bitter whilst in hiding. It contrasts sharply with the Elastigirl we've come to know from the first movie, the one who ''didn't'' become embittered, but instead made the most of her normal life (by raising a family).]]
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: After Dicker announces that the Super-Relocation Program was defunded, he tells Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl that he felt honored to work with them.
* IWasQuiteAFashionVictim: Apparently Elastigirl had a mohawk.
-->'''Elastigirl:''' There's a lot of things you don't know about me.\\
'''Mr. Incredible:''' Yeah, but... a mohawk?\\
'''Elastigirl:''' Eh, you didn't miss anything.
* JerkassBall: When a stressed, sleep-deprived Mr. Incredible finds out that the [[{{Thememobile}} Incredibile]] is not only still intact (having thought it was destroyed) but was bought by a smug rich guy as a collector's item, he takes out the old remote control to it and uses it to control the car remotely, frightening everyone on the scene. [[JerkassRealization He subsequently realizes that he shouldn't be trying to steal his car back.]]
* JumpScare: Violet appearing behind the fridge door gives Mr. Incredible a good scare.

* KindaBusyHere: Elastigirl gets a call from Dash while being in hot pursuit of the RunawayTrain.
* KissOfDistraction: [[spoiler:Mr. Incredible is forced into a fight with a hypnotized Elastigirl. He attempts to get her to snap out of it, and it seems to work as she stops attacking and suddenly kisses him. Unfortunately, Elastigirl uses the distraction to slap the mind control goggles on Mr. Incredible's face, making him hypnotized as well.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Played with. At Mr. Incredible's request, Agent Dicker steps in to erase Tony's memories of having seen Violet remove her mask. It turns out the memory-wipe is "not an exact science" and this causes a huge conflict between Violet and her dad when she realizes that Tony doesn't remember her at all.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: The first trailer for the movie features a gag of Jack-Jack using his newly discovered superpowers, then cutting to a scene of Mr. Incredible absolutely delighted over the fact that he has them. In the first ''Incredibles'', the audience was made to believe Jack-Jack had no powers until near the end.

** Thematically, the movie is this as well. The first film dealt with several darker character issues. Mr. Incredible is listlessly shuffling through his post hero life in a job as an insurance agent, Elastigirl is frustrated with Mr. Incredible trying to relive the glory days of being a hero, the kids are trying to come to terms with their superpowers in a world where acting as a superhero in public is illegal, and there is a subplot where Elastigirl thinks Mr. Incredible is having an affair. The sequel focuses more on the action, and the character subplots are more limited to Mr. Incredible trying to raise the kids without Elastigirl, Violet having boy problems, and Dash struggling with his math homework, all while Elastigirl is out doing superhero work.

** Elastigirl can't use her stretching powers in extremely cold environments, something that the villain exploits.

* LowClearance: Elastigirl has to use all her skills to duck the first train tunnel while on her Elasticycle. The second tunnel is so low that she has to discard her motorbike altogether.

* MaleGaze: There are more than a few rear shots lingering on Elastigirl's... rear.

** Again, Mr. Incredible's LanternJawOfJustice and square HeroicBuild contrast with Elastigirl's rounder features and HartmanHips.

* MenCantKeepHouse: A downplayed version. Initially, Mr. Incredible struggles in his role as a HouseHusband. But once he buckles down and learns New Math to help Dash, he gets a handle on keeping up the household. All that changes once Jack-Jack demonstrates he has powers; then it's all Mr. Incredible can do to keep up, which leaves him in a state of exhaustion and the chores piling up. He eventually gets that under control too, though with the help of Edna as well as 17 hours of much-needed sleep.

* MisplacedRetribution: Screenslaver wants to keep supers illegal because [[spoiler:she blames the death of her parents on her father's insistence to call for a hero on a private line during a burglary rather than fleeing to a safe room. The big problem is that the burglary occurred after the Super Relocation Act had passed and all superheroes were forced underground. It's not really the supers' fault that her father decided to call for heroes that would be unable to answer. Furthermore, it's likely the same thing would've happened if he'd insisted on calling mundane law enforcement like the police, who couldn't be there immediately to save him.]]

%% MoneyMauling is intentionally using money as a weapon; the example with the Underminer and Mr. Incredible doesn't apply, as it was accidental.

* MobstacleCourse: Played with. When pursuing the Screenslaver across corridors, Elastigirl first collides with some of the civillians that the Screensaver alerts into her path via the fire alarm, but later on she uses her BuildingSwing skills to get past the crowds in her way.
* MoodWhiplash: As in the first movie, the scenes switch from the extraordinary to the mundane and back again. During a car ride, Elastigirl is approached by many adoring civilians thanking her for saving the people of the monorail. One of them turns out to be a happy little girl holding a sign that reads, "The Screenslaver is still out there," much to Elastigirl's dismay as she rides away from the still happy girl.

* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Parodied and lampshaded. The new Elastigirl suit is black and grey, contrasting the original's white and red. Elastigirl is bothered by how edgy and gloomy it looks, while Edna is outright appalled by it.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Both Mr. Incredible and Dicker show genuine regret of having Tony mind-wiped of Violet.

** The trailers and the television spots for the movie made it seem like the main focus will be on Mr. Incredible learning to adjust to being a HouseHusband. It's actually the ''B-Plot'' of the movie, with the main story actually being Elastigirl's search to take down Screenslaver.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Mr. Incredible informs Rick Dicker about Tony Rydinger after Violet expresses her anxiety over having accidentally revealed her alter ego to him, asking him to erase Tony's memories of the incident. Rick does so, which leaves Tony forgetting about Violet ''entirely'' and thus unknowingly blowing off their date. Violet spirals into depression as a result, and lashes out at her father when she realizes what he did.

** Screenslaver not only fails to discredit supers but their attacks ultimately cause the world to decide to reinstate the status of superheroes.

** Elastigirl has a brief look of alarm when Screenslaver activates hypnotising screens in the apartment and attacks her.

** Screenslaver knows they're in trouble when Jack-Jack uses his telekinesis to remove Elastigirl's mind control goggles, freeing her.

* OrgyOfEvidence: Screenslaver's apartment is decked out with everything you would expect a hypnosis-obsessed villain to have, plus a documentation on his targets. Unfortunately, Elastigirl only gets a cursory look at the evidence before Screenslaver blows it all up, preventing any deeper investigation.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Jack-Jack realizes something is wrong with his mother when he flies towards her but she doesn't respond with any warmth or affection like she normally would. As a result, he uses his telekinesis to remove her hypnogoggles, freeing Elastigirl from their control.

* ParentsAsPeople: Mr. Incredible's arc in the movie involves him trying to be a more capable caretaker for his kids while Elastigirl takes on the role of breadwinner. He seems to feel mildly put-out and emasculated when his wife is chosen over him to help bring supers back into the public due to his DestructiveSaviour tendencies (especially since her train rescue turned out way better than when Mr. Incredible tried in 15 years prior), and the stress of his actions trying and failing to handle the situation [[IWorkAlone by himself]] (trying to help Violet get back with Tony after accidentally ruining it, helping Dash with his homework and dealing with the unpredictable Jack-Jack) causes him to break down. It is not until he finally allows others to help him (Violet and Dash calling in Frozone, who then has Edna look after Jack-Jack) that he is able to catch up on sleep and finally re-balance his life. He even has a heartfelt confession to Violet about how he is trying to help before he falls asleep. Violet accepts his apology as she loves her father dearly and decides that she and Dash should let him sleep.... for 17 hours.

* ThePowerOfLove: Exploited. [[spoiler:Elastigirl, while hypnotized, fakes the "able to free their loved one from mind control" aspect of the trope to trick Mr. Incredible into lowering his defences and slip hypno-goggles on him.]]

** Screenslaver uses screens to hypnotise people into obeying them, using screens to make them slaves, but the name also sounds almost exactly the same as "screensaver", simple images or animations shown on screens, much like the projections they use to hypnotise people.

** Mr. Incredible's car is named aloud for the first time [[note]]though it was also mentioned by name in the NSA files bonus content on the DVD of ''The Incredibles''[[/note]]: the Incredibile, a clever {{portmanteau}} of "Incredible" and "automobile".

* RageBreakingPoint: Mr. Incredible has this when Dash and Violet demand answers of why he hadn't told Elastigirl about Jack-Jack's powers.
-->'''Mr. Incredible: '''Because I'm ''formulating''! Okay?! I'm taking in information, I'm processing, I'm doing the math, I'm fixing the boyfriend, and keeping the baby from turning into a flaming monster! How do I do it? ''[[[{{Beat}} Dash and Violet give him wide-eyed looks]]]'' By rolling with the punches, baby! I eat thunder and [[PrecisionFStrike crap]] lightning, okay? Because I'm Mr. Incredible! Not "Mr. So-So" or "Mr. Mediocre Guy"! '''Mr.''' '''''Incredible!'''''

** Near the end, when Elastigirl confronts Screenslaver, they make fun of Elastigirl for her core beliefs; Elastigirl quietly retorts that at least she ''has'' core beliefs.

* RedSockRuinsTheLaundry: When a very tired Mr. Incredible drops off Jack-Jack at Edna's house and begins to lament about the many blunders he made while trying to be a HouseHusband, mixing red and white clothes in the laundry is one of the things he mentions.

* RuleOfThree: It takes Voyd three attempts to portal Elastigirl onto the jet.
* RunawayTrain: The newly opened hovertrain, after its conductor gets controlled by the Screenslaver. Elastigirl manages to stop it JustInTime.

* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:Elastigirl assumes that the Screenslaver is a man, and at first, she seems to be proven right when she unmasks the Screenslaver, revealing a nervous young man in the costume. However, it turns out he was just a decoy, and Evelyn Deavor was the actual Screenslaver the whole time.]]
* SaveTheVillain: Elastigirl saves Screenslaver from plummeting to their death despite the villain actively refusing and resisting to be saved. [[spoiler:Justified, as not only is Elastigirl a superhero (the very thing Screenslaver is against), but keeping Screenslaver alive will help prove the Supers' innocence and it's implied she also did it out of respect for Winston.]]

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Violet points out that Screenslaver could play this card once they go to trial for their actions [[spoiler:since she realizes Evelyn is a high-ranking and well-paid employee of a major corporation.]]

* SelfDestructMechanism: When Elastigirl encounters the Screenslaver in their lair and gives pursuit, they activate one which destroys the lair with all the evidence inside.

* ShootOutTheLock: Elastigirl uses a grabbed gun to shoot open the lock on the door of the driver's compartment on the Ambassador's helicopter.
* ShortLivedAerialEscape: Screenslaver has the supers set the ''Everjust'' on a collision course with the city and then tries to [[VillainExitStageLeft exit stage left]] with the jet. The escape attempt is foiled by Elastigirl who gets onto the jet and brings the villain down.

** The name of the ambassador who roots for Elastigirl is Henrietta Selick, a tip of the hat to fellow animation director [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Selick Henry Selick]].

** The [[Franchise/ToyStory Pizza Planet Truck]] can be seen outside the building where Elastigirl captures and rescues the Screenslaver decoy. The truck likely belonged to him considering [[spoiler: Screenslaver revealed the decoy she set up was a pizza delivery guy]].

** Mr. Incredible's "I eat thunder and crap lightning" BadassBoast is borrowed from Mickey's line to Rocky in ''Film/RockyII'' (although Mickey had "thunder" and "lightning" the other way around).
** The BigBad manages to hold Elastigirl down by freezing her due to her rubber-like abilities, much like what happened to [[Film/FantasticFour2005 another stretchy superhero]].
* ShutUpHannibal: When Screenslaver moves to escape the ''Everjust'' on a plane, Winston is brought along. However, Winston jumps out of the plane at the first opportunity and goes back to save the heroes and ambassadors still onboard.
-->'''Screenslaver:''' It's for your own good!\\

* SiblingYinYang: During one of her conversations with Evelyn, Elastigirl describes Winston and Evelyn's relationship as this. Their respective talents are opposite yet complementary; she invents the products with her tech genius and he markets them with his social savvy.

** The scene with Elastigirl first trying out her new [[CoolBike Elasti-cycle]]. Because it's an electric drive, it's "torquey", able to accelerate surprisingly quickly. Elastigirl smacks into many things before eventually getting a feel for the bike.

* SleepDeprivation: Mr. Incredible is unable to sleep for several nights while trying to watch the kids, due to Dash's difficult math homework, Violet's relationship trouble, and Jack-Jack's newfound powers. He spends a chunk of the film completely exhausted and not thinking clearly. When circumstances finally allow him some much-needed rest, Violet reports that he slept for 17 hours.

** Elastigirl is on the phone with Mr. Incredible and squeals about her successful stopping of a run-away train. He then sees her image on literally every channel which leaves him feeling inferior especially that there were "no casualties". He offers a genuine "proud of you" compliment to Elastigirl.
** Elastigirl tells Mr. Incredible she's proud of him and that she realizes how much Mr. Incredible wants to be out doing superhero work as well. She acknowledges that, for now, she couldn't be doing this if he hadn't taken over so well.
** When the kids save their parents from Screenslaver's hypnosis, Violet asks her mother not to be mad that they used their powers and entered into a dangerous situation, but she just hugs them and says she's proud.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Screenslaver succeeds in pulling off the first part of their plan. However, they ''did not'' expect Dash, Violet, and especially Jack-Jack to start unraveling everything. Jack-Jack ends up saving the day by using his telekinesis powers to free his mother from the mind control glasses, who then frees everyone else.
* SpottingTheThread: [[spoiler:Elastigirl noticed that, despite the fight the Screenslaver put her through, it was just too easy. She remarks that his locks were too conventional, that the odds of a surly pizza delivery boy being able to mastermind everything himself were too steep, and that one of the screens in Screenslaver's lair was tuning in to the signal on her closed-circuit costume-cam.]]

** When Voyd meets Elastigirl, she [[https://youtu.be/GfGt17GoV_Y?t=7 starts stammering out of excitement]] over meeting her heroine.

* StartXToStopX: Elastigirl discusses the dilemma of accepting the Deavors' job offer with Mr. Incredible.
-->'''Elastigirl:''' To help my family, I have to leave it; to fix the law, I have to ''break'' it!

* StockYuck: Dash is visually displeased when Elastigirl shoves broccoli on his plate. He is also disappointed later when Mr. Incredible switches out his favorite cereal [[ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs Sugar Bombs]] for healthier and blander Fiber-o's. He still eats both without more than an annoyed groan.

* StopHittingYourself: Voyd uses portals to deflect Elastigirl's punches and kicks so that she strikes herself.

** Elastigirl is calmly talking to Mr. Incredible on the phone for a few minutes, before she screams out with excitement the news that she had saved a [[BusFullOfInnocents Train Full of Innocents]].
* SuperPersistentPredator: While Jack-Jack's persistence can be excused, the ''raccoon'' choosing to stay and fight an enemy that can multiply, shoot laser beams, and ''catch on fire'' shows a lot of dedication for a scavenger. The raccoon returns to have a stare-off against Jack-Jack through the sliding glass door while Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl are on the phone, clearly wanting a rematch.

*** When Elastigirl splits the train, the split severs the electrical circuit, and since it's a ''maglev'', the loss in power causes the train to drop onto its rails, producing a horrific screech and a shower of sparks.
*** As the rear two cars are significantly heavier than the lone front car (the train was going backwards, mind you), they have more momentum, forcing Elastigirl to form a parachute to stop them in time.

* SwappedRoles: In the first film, Mr. Incredible was the one back to life as a superhero while Elastigirl took care of the kids. In this film, Elastigirl is fighting crime while Mr. Incredible is the stay-at-home parent. This is even [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]] by Elastigirl at one point.

** While trying to help Dash with his homework, Mr. Incredible's brief tirade about [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Math New Math]] sounds like [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything it could just as well be about]] the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Core_State_Standards_Initiative Common Core Math Standards]] adopted by U.S. public schools in the early 21st century.
--->'''Mr. Incredible:''' WHY WOULD THEY CHANGE MATH?!
** Elastigirl doesn't like her new suit, saying it's too "dark and angsty" for her, which can be taken as a shot at gratuitously DarkerAndEdgier superhero redesigns.
** After Screenslaver is taken into custody, Violet gets a ''little too real'' and points out that they're rich, and will probably get off with a slap on the wrist.

* TakeThatAudience: When the Screenslaver gives a chilling monologue to the people about how they are so content to only watch things from the comfort of their [=TVs=]. It also applies to the people of our times addicted to their phones and tablets, ''and'' [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall the people sitting in the comfort of their theater watching Elastigirl find the Screenslaver]].
* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: When Violet finds out that [[spoiler:her dad had Agent Dicker accidentally erase all traces of her in Tony's memory]], she renounces the NSA and superheroes in general, trying and failing to destroy her super-suit. She later renounces her renunciation when she finds out that their parents are in trouble and need them.
* TalkingInBed: Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl are getting ready for bed while Mr. Incredible tries to convince Elastigirl to take the job and make superheroes legal again.
* TeeteringOnTheEdge: Elastigirl, driving on her new Elasticycle, manages to stop a Runaway Train Just in Time before it could fall off the uncompleted tracks. A subsequent car crashes into the first one, almost pushing it over the edge.
* TemptingFate: After seeing Elastigirl's new costume, Mr. Incredible teasingly notes Elastigirl will have to explain to Edna why she's using a costume by another designer. Mr. Incredible ends up taking the brunt of Edna's anger since Elastigirl doesn't meet with her in this film.
* {{Thememobile}}: Elastigirl gets a new Elasticycle designed by Evelyn and Mr. Incredible gets his Incredibile back.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: In-universe example with Mr. Incredible's rant about Dash's New Math homework, which is based on a real thing, but also echoes the sentiment of many U.S. parents with the Common Core curriculum. "You can't change math!"
* ThickerThanWater: Played With. [[spoiler:Screenslaver plays it straight when she take the time to rescue Winston from the ''Everjust'' before it crashes. Winston, however, turns on her and leaps from the escape plane to try and free everyone on the boat from her hypnosis. Notwithstanding, he does expresses his gratitude to Elastigirl for saving her life.]]
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Mr. Incredible is first ecstatic upon discovering Jack-Jack has a plethora of powers... and it dawns on him that parenting just became a lot harder.
* ThouShallNotKill: Downplayed. Elastigirl is no murderer, and she doesn't set out to kill anybody in battle, but if it's necessary to save lives or protect her family she will not pull punches. However, Elastigirl is able to save Evelyn from a fatal fall.

* TravelingPipeBulge: When Mr. Incredible is sucked in by the Underminer's vacuum, we see him as a bulge traveling along the tube.
* TwerpSweating: The film ends with the entire family doing this to Tony, with Mr. Incredible doing the traditional father-cheerfully-intimidating-date routine.
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The middle act flips between Elastigirl at her new job with DEVTECH and Mr. Incredible being a HouseHusband at home before these storylines converge in the final act.

** Elastigirl saves Screenslaver from plummeting to their death despite them actively resisting the save.

* VerbalBackpedaling: Mr. Incredible when encouraging his wife to take on Winston's assignment.
-->'''Mr. Incredible:''' Of course you can leave. You've got to. So that I... we can be Supers again.
* VillainHasAPoint: The Screenslaver is possibly correct in that [[spoiler:her father could have survived if he had just gone into the house's safe room instead of trying to call some heroes to help. His over-reliance on heroes was his undoing. A weakness in her argument is blaming the Supers completely, when the same thing would've happened if he'd called the police.]]
* VillainousFaceHold: As Screenslaver reassures Elastigirl that their EvilPlan means supers will never become legal again, they hold her victim's chin as she's being incapacitated by hypoxia.

* WhamShot: At an event celebrating Elastigirl capturing the Screenslaver, Elastigirl looks at one of the screens showing her fight with the villain and sees a the action being played on a screen in the background. By realizing that the Screenslaver somehow accessed her suit's camera, Elastigirl has a EurekaMoment that gets her one step closer to finding the person responsible. This is then followed by [[spoiler: the real Screenslaver, who has been Evelyn Deavor the entire time that she's been "helping" Elastigirl, slapping a hypno-mask on her]].

** Elastigirl has every opportunity to [[spoiler:let Screenslaver fall to her death. Instead, to demonstrate that her moral compass overwhelms Screenslaver's lack thereof, Elastigirl ''saves'' her.]]

** Elastigirl has the idea of breaking the boiler to stop the Underminer's drill machine.

* TheWorfEffect: Brick's SuperStrength is given ample demonstration when she fights [[spoiler: Mr. Incredible]] and is shown knocking him across the room and slamming him into the bulkhead so hard that it dents.

* VillainHasAPoint:
** The Screenslaver is possibly correct in that [[spoiler:her father could have survived if he had just gone into the house's safe room instead of trying to call some heroes to help. His over-reliance on heroes was his undoing. A weakness in her argument is blaming the Supers completely, when the same thing would've happened if he'd called the police.]]

* SaveTheVillain: Elastigirl saves Screenslaver from plummeting to their death despite Evelyn actively refusing and resisting to be saved. [[spoiler:Justified, as not only is Elastigirl a superhero (the very thing Screenslaver is against), but keeping Screenslaver alive will help prove the Supers' innocence and it's implied she also did it out of respect for Winston.]]
