![]() ![]() She’s not just talking about the plane crash, she’s talking about what she’s basically done to Violet and Dash THEIR ENTIRE FREAKING LIVES. She’s barely allowed to express herself, something Helen acknowledges later in the film indirectly by apologizing for putting pressure on Violet. She has basically been told her whole life to hide who she is, hide her powers, etc to keep the family safe. She doesn’t want to “be herself” she wants to “fit in” “We ACT normal, Mom! I wanna BE normal!” and Dash even agrees, because of the pressure to act “normal” that is put on him. Violet’s body language is FREAKING OBVIOUS, any mother should be able to spot it, and ask what the frick is wrong, but Helen’s so preoccupied with trying to be a “normal” family that she completely ignores any signs that something is wrong.Īnd then we get to the problem: When Violet screams about how no one in the family is “normal” Heck, I’m kind of mad at Helen in this scene for not acknowledging it. Something is bothering her, but she doesn’t want to admit it. Notice how she doesn’t want to talk, she mumbles, she won’t even eat. Look at her body language during this scene. Think about it, she wants to be “normal” instead of embracing her powers, she wants to fit in, etc. That’s also why in the beginning, she lets her hair fall in front of her face: She’s trying TO HIDE. Those dark clothes are meant to show her trying to “blend in” and be less noticed. If you look at concept art, she was meant to be huddled, scared, trying not to be seen, etc. The wearing of brighter colors was symbolic of that. Her story arc was about gaining confidence. Those aren’t “quirks” those were her hiding her quirks because she was afraid. At the beginning of the film, she was scared, self conscious, etc. Like, I think you need to rewatch the film. You SEVERELY misunderstand Violet’s entire dang story arc, and her characterization at the beginning of the film. (Seriously, am I the only one who hates how they ended her story in pt. I want an Incredibles 2 where Violet suddenly wakes up and realizes, ‘Why did I think wearing pink sweaters and dating some popular kid was AN IMPROVEMENT?!’ Then she goes back to being the quirky, smart girl she was at the start, only now she’s more badass than before because she realizes there was NOTHING WRONG WITH WHO SHE WAS!!! So yeah, without further ado - I present probably the only WIP I am comfortable with sharing.Violet Parr, everyone. But it’s Violet meeting the Robinsons for the first time
