okay but Ayn Rand's philosophy looms over THE INCREDIBLES to the point that if you are aware of the former you literally can't enjoy the moviehttps://twitter.com/dreamingnoctis/status/1379266427430055941 …

I legitimately think it's one of the most terrible children's films of all time

That’s cool. I think Ferris Bueller is a film about an insufferable sociopath who hurts and manipulates everyone around him for his own amusement and treats them like props, but I also don’t think anyone who enjoys it is a bad person or endorsing that behavior.

I mean sure I don't care who watches something, I just care whether something is textually bad, and THE INCREDIBLES is worse than either that movie or FIGHT CLUB in terms of what cause it most elegantly functions as propaganda for

THE INCREDIBLES is nakedly "some people are just superior and trying to raise others to their level is bad". FIGHT CLUB, well...I feel like I'm missing something there. Everything about the Narrator's malaise feels so melodramatic to me that the movie comes across as farcical.

I've seen people argue that The Incredibles is kind of mixed up if it's trying to rep Objectivism because it's making the capitalist inventor who wants to change the world with new tech into the bad guy But Rand was never terribly consistent with that herself

The core theme of "noble people who inherently deserve power and an ignoble mob who don't" is very true to her spirit
