Thoughts on the Incredibles and the Incredibles 2: do these movies value being "naturally" super over technological advancement?\xa0\n\nThe Incredibles movies have a weird relationship with technology\n\nhttps://bit.ly/2MSukcL\n\nBut there\u2019s another, subtler thread running through the two Pixar films. And because it repeats, it seems to point to a larger philosophy: both movies feature villains whose evil deeds give the franchise a markedly technophobic outlook. In The Incredibles, it\u2019s Syndrome, a normal human with no superpowers who uses his tech skills to amass a huge fortune, which he plans to use to effectively rid the world of supers. In The Incredibles 2, it\u2019s Screenslaver, a normal human with no superpowers who uses her tech skills to amass a huge fortune, which she plans to use to actually rid the world of supers.\n\nAre these movies sectretly anti-tech? And do they secretly hearken back to a happier time when white guys ran everything? Phil and Stephen discuss.\n\nWT 456-773\n\nEternity Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) | Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\n\nVideos and Images from Pixabay.com and other sources
