Easter Eggs In 'Incredibles 2' You Definitely Missed

During most of "Incredibles 2"Incredibles 2, the Parr family is changing. Their suburban home blew up at the end of the last movie, leaving most things in boxes. Even moving to a new house, stuff stays messy.

Bob sees his old "Incredibile" on TV. He runs to a back room, searching his old things for the car remote. Among the items is something that looks like a jar full of pennies. Look closer, though, andit says"bullets that bounced off my chest."

Its making nearly$17 billion in total box office gross, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a huge deal. Comic book films, or those inspired by comics, sure reference the MCU somehow—andIncredibles 2This is no exception.

The movie points to the MCU with a bank sign. After the heroes stop the boat from hitting Municiberg, a sign shows the Municiberg Credit Union—the MCU.

Since therelease dateofIncredibles 2changed to giveToy Story 4a little more time to prepare, this Easter egg did not happen. Originally,Incredibles 2was set to release in 2019. That would put the sequel exactly 15 years after the first one. In the previousIncredibles, Syndrome tells Mr. Incredible the relationship is over—"15 years too late."

Helen turns to crime-fighting full-time, but she cannot escape being a parent. During a chase scene early in the film, Dash secretly calls his mom about his high-tops, clearly meaning his Chuck Taylor shoes.

The shoes are not justathletic enough for a fast kid like Dash; they also support the film's mid-20th-century look. Although the movie seems modern, many design and tech choices make it look like the film happens in the '50s or '60s. Chucks are popular now, but they were even trendier decades ago.While the movie looks modern, many design and tech choices make it look like the film happens in the '50s or '60s.

Dash's line "I want to fight bad guys, it defines who I am!" appeared in one of thetrailers. In the film, the line comes from a bigger talk about how being a superhero is still against the law. Dash does not want to lose his powers again.

The line is also a semi-satirical take on Batman's line inBatman Begins. In that film, Batman states, "It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me." Incredibles 2mocks the idea that a person's identity—especially a kid's—comes from their ability to punch villains.

For decades, "A113" has beenappearingin Pixar and Disney movies. Nobody knew what it meant at first; then Imgur userTheGhostWhoHatesSpillsfigured out "A113" means aspecific classroom numberat the California Institute of Arts—a room used by many Pixar and Disney animators.

InIncredibles 2, the "A113" nod appears when Violet gives Tony Rydinger cash at the theater before speeding off to fight crime with her family. The movie on the billboard is Dystopia 113. Also, the "a" is a different color.

Early in Bob's time as a single dad, he tries to get the family ready for school. At the kitchen table, Dash eats "Sugar Bombs" cereal. This cereal is not real; the brand appears only two other times in entertainment.

The first appearance is in the Fallout games, where players eat Sugar Bomb cereal for health. The stronger link, though, is to Chocolate Frosted Sugar BombsCalvin's favorite breakfast food in theCalvin and Hobbes comic strip. Dash, like Calvin, is an energetic, imaginative blonde kid who cannot sit still. Sugar Bombs are likely the worst for both of them.

When Bob and Helen meet Winston Deavor, he shares his love for superheroes. This trait matches his late father. Deavor mentions his dad bought a statue of Dynaguy to show his affection for superheroes. The reason Dynaguy needed a statue comes in The Incredibles, because he died during take-off when his cape got caught. This is a mild, dark nod to the first film, but still funny.

Incredibles 2picks up where the first film ended. A new villain, the Underminer, uses his big drill to attack the city and steal from banks. He actually escapes the Parrs and takes the money. We never hear from the villain again.

Until the end credits. The film closes with artwork showing movie scenes. One image shows the Underminer returning from underground and attacking again. Could the rogue return in The Incredibles 3?

Pixar films do not usually take strong political sides, but it Incredibles 2 addressed some timely and controversial political subjects.

A line explains politicians will never grasp why someone does something good just because it is right. A cop jails an innocent person and tells him not to blame the system for his errors. When Helen returns to fighting crime, she gets a body cam to record needless violence, like modern police. The main villain does not face harsh punishment because they are rich at the film's end.because they're rich. Several lines suggest "illegal" people can be "super" and productive in society.

Surprisingly, that is not the whole story.Incredibles 2 is less scared than any previous Pixar film to discuss world events.

During a scene, Dash watches TV before school. A blonde boy hangs out with another kid wearing a turban. He appears for only a second, but he is noticeable.

The clip comes from the show Jonny QuestDirector and writer Brad Bird says the series, along withThe Outer Limitsisone reasonhe wanted to makeThe Incrediblesthe show in the first place. It aired during prime time.Jonny Questappealed to adults and children—much likeThe Incredibles.

After appearing in the trailer, the film explores Dash's confusing math homework. Bob keeps saying he does not get why they changed math, and he stays up all night to help Dash.

This points toCommon Core math.This film is relatively new., people from older generations find it confusing. Some think it is better; others think it is worse. Regardless, Bob gets frustrated by the change.
