I’m sure the discussion on this page makes a lot of readers think of “The Incredibles,” since a lot of the argument follows a similar pattern to the one that drives that movie. I’m a huge fan of the Pixar film (although I’m a little worried that the sequel won’t live up to it…) but I’m trying very hard to not tread over the same ground as the story develops.  I think any story involving a superhero family is going to be subject to comparisons to the Parr family, and all I can say at this point is I’m planning on taking this tale to a different place, but it will take a little time to get there.
Hmmmmm, famous last words.
Ha Ha!
Offhand, I would say that this does seem like a doomed desire. >_>
*sigh* i know she means well, but….remember that old saw about good intentions and where that path is leading? seriously, the girl isn´t three anymore. i´m not saying put her in spandex and let her join training, but she should at least know whats going on in her own family. all these secrets and lies will make her feel like an outcast in her own family – not a nice thing to feel.
So she wants her daughter to be normal…which is a passive-aggressive way of saying that she thinks her son and husband are freakish in nature. Then again, she may just hate the superhero life. She’s got a point. Her son’s abilities were forced into the fore by an attack from a violent supervillain! But hoping that her son and husband’s activities won’t impact on her daughter is unrealistic. Someone may attack the little girl some day and for the same reasons her son was targeted. However, given her current resentment over her brother, hearing that he’s gotten superpowers may increase her bitterness instead of making her more understanding. Decisions, decisions.
Well, that’s just peachy, lady, because insisting on utterly controlling your child always ends well.
