sometimes i wish syndrome hadn’t died at the end of the incredibles 2004 because he and dash could have been really cool narrative foils. i mean how else was my baby storyteller brain supposed to interpret the parallel between “everyone’s special, dash” “which is another way of saying no one is” and “when everyone’s super, no one will be” . i’ll admit it’s a pretty bleak worldview to try to combat in a hypothetical sequel to an animated kids movie but i think they could’ve pulled it off if they really put their pussies into it
something something. everyone has something that only they can bring to the world. be it creativity or philosophy or interpersonal kindness or perspective or whatever. etc. you understand
