#the incredibles edna mode

I just had a thought:

Rarity, Edna Mood, Barbie, Velvette, Clawdeen, Satin and Chenille

My most favorite fashionista icons with sass (Idk if Barbie is sassy), having a fashion brunch

Barbie: And so I tried to warn Raquel that 12 inch heels, PLUS very long nails could be dangerous. Not only will her nails got chipped so easily, but she can’t even get in her car or try walking without tripping

Clawdeen: Ouch. Ghoul should not have done that

Velvette: *puts her coffee down* Ugh. This is why I don’t use acrylic nails and those ridiculously high inch heels. I mean, what was she trying to do? Show off? I always paint my nails no matter how small or long they are, and they still look fabulous *shows off her nails*

All: Oooh

Rarity: Absolutely gorgeous, darling. What a work of art

Velvette: *chuckles* Thank you, darling

In the distance, Vox, Clawd, Ken, Mr. Incredible, Cooper and Prince D, and Flash Sentry were having their own coffee day

Vox: I’m glad Vel has a new group of friends to bond over fashion with *sips on his coffee*

Ken: Shoooouuuld we be in a group?

Vox: Don’t push it

Ken: *still smiling* Ok

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.

Instead of Karl Lagerfeld, the theme of the 2023 Met Gala should be a tribute to this icon:

On blocks and failures

Every time I'm about to give up and start yapping "Art and writing are not my cup of tea", "This isn't my first language! What do you expect from me??" I imagine Edna Mode staring me down. A comical angle is mandatory, of course.

"Excuse me? Too many words. Gobble-gobble-gobble-gobble-gobble! Too much of it, darling, too much! And what did you expect? That the act of creation is a piece of cake?" A sardonic scoff followed. "If anyone could pull a masterpiece out of thin air, the world would be bland. We'd think that exquisite is ordinary and we would crave for more sophisticated things out of our reach. Destruction is easy. And making something from a vague idea, flashing out thoughts..."

She paused, staring intently. "Take your time. Learn. Don't sit there motionless. Do something! Stand up and go! Confront the problem! Fight! Win!"

I belive it's better to do something than freeze.

And freezing...

It kills.
