There’s always that one moviegoer who attempts to pick apart a movie - no matter how enjoyable the film may be - in an attempt to prove their cleverness. The latest comes from Twitter (via Heroic Hollywood) in which one viewer shared a “plot hole” in the Incredibles 2 that he has apparently been bothered by since the film’s release this summer.
Basically, the viewer has a problem with the ending sequence of the film. Through
a series of tweets, he complains:
So, when all the supers are on the boat the last thing everyone in the city sees on TV is mind-controlled Mr. and Mrs. Incredible making that whole speech that Superheroes are a threat.
Then, the TV broadcast ends and the next thing people see is that the ship is headed straight for the city. We as the audience knows that Mr and Mrs. Incredible were being hypnotized by Evelyn and eventually they save the ship from really damaging anything in the city.
The ending shows them painted as the heroes who just saved the day again. But like, all the people in the city have no clarification on everything that happened after that original broadcast.
To the citizens, the supers saved everyone from a potential boat destruction that the Supers themselves created. Everyone in town had no idea who Evelyn is so why are people cheering when the Incredibles stopped the boat? Shouldn’t they be confused? AMERICA EXPLAIN. #incredibles2
Director Brad Bird was specifically called out in the tweet, so naturally, he responded with his explanation. It turns how, he disagrees that it’s a plot hole, but rather an edition decision. Assuming the audience isn’t stupid, Bird didn’t feel the need to explain the obvious.
Were you at all confused with the events of
Incredibles 2 or do you think Brad Bird is correct in not needing to explain obvious moments to the audience?
