[edit] Still a Stub?

The bottom of this page says it's still a stub. Would you agree with this? I mean, it's really good now, and I think it's complete. dogman15 00:08, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed it's probably not a stub, although it may still need cleanup. =) Powers 02:59, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Figure

I find a problem with the following segment:

"Violet's body is disproportionate compared to her head. This has led some to say that she appears (and even is) anorexic."

First of all, because this anexoria opinion isn't at all common, an annotation would be needed, ideally from a major source. Second of all, according to the animators at Pixar, the disproportionate figures of all the characters are intentional, as they are stylized figures to fit the comic book form. In no way do they suggest anorexia. Otherwise, we would make such claims about many other cartoons with purposely disproportionate figures.

I totally agree. "This has led some to say" are classic weasel words, and the author of the statement clearly doesn't understand the way the movie was animated. I deleted it. —Edward Tremel 22:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

• The nature of Violet's powers is the reason that Violet's skintight unitard was a tricky Super-Suit for E to fabricate, but nowhere near the potential challenge of designing a more advanced Super-Suit for Jack-Jack, of course.

I've removed this from the trivia selection. While Edna does state that Violet's suit was tricky to make, she doesn't make any mention of this this with Jack-Jack's. While describing Jack-Jack's she states that she "just covered the basics", so I always thought that all the Super-Suits she had made, contains all those basic features. My reasoning for this is that both, Violet and Dash are shot at several times during the movie and I find it hard to believe that not a single bullet hit. Ðra

The original author was, I suspect, referring to the potential upcoming challenge of designing a suit for Jack-Jack once his powers were known. Clearly the whole bullet point is original research. Powers ^T 23:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

The original author was me, and yes, that was the case. Kanjilearner 00:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mirage an ally?

In Violet's infobox under "affiliations" it lists Mirage as an "ally", despite the fact that she's listed under "villains" in the Characters box at the bottom of the page. I realize that Mirage switches sides halfway through the movie, but we should list her as either consistantly a villain or consistantly an ally of the Incredibles to avoid confusion. So I think this reference should be either deleted or changed to a negative "affiliation" (whatever is the policy, I'm not sure). --Edward Tremel 01:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

She's not an ally. She betrays Syndrome at two points in the movie by helping the Incredibles, but that's hardly sufficient to qualify as an ally; she was, after all, complicit in the murders of numerous other supers. I was actually rather disappointed that her arc was left dangling and never resolved in the film -- she should have been arrested and tried, minimally. Powers ^T 16:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
