Leans Right
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes individual exceptionalism and critiques the societal and governmental forces that seek to suppress it, particularly through the villain's 'when everyone's super, no one will be' philosophy, which directly targets radical egalitarianism.
The movie features a primarily white main cast without explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles, while including some visible diversity in supporting characters. Its narrative positively frames traditional identities and does not incorporate explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The film features Elastigirl, who uses her stretching abilities to physically defeat multiple male guards in close-quarters combat during her infiltration of Syndrome's base. Violet Parr also uses her force fields to physically repel male opponents.
The Incredibles does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story centers entirely on the heterosexual Parr family, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film's narrative.
The Incredibles is an original film featuring characters created specifically for its narrative. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical characters whose gender was altered for this production.
The Incredibles is an original animated film from 2004. Its characters were created for this specific movie and do not have prior canonical or historical racial establishments from other source materials, previous installments, or real-world history. Therefore, no character can be considered a race swap.
