This is even WORSE.

To elaborate why this is worse: Art and religion are all well and good. But information can be critical. When libraries burn, information can be lost forever. Because we photograph art. We have blueprints of the Cathedral. The Notre Dame cathedral did not burn to the ground, only the wooden structures did. The entire library and everything within is gone here. Another reason this is worse? It was DELIBERATE. It was bombed. Accidents like Notre Dame happen all the time. But bombings don’t have to happen. So yeah, if you cared about Notre Dame, logically you should care about this too,

i still can’t believe that the incredibles is likely set in the 1960s

the entire film is designed with classic 50s-60s art styles, a lot of the interior design of the parr household is in 60s style, fashion is generally reminiscent of the 60s, in the beginning of the film all the photographs and video are grainy and shot in 60s style, the technology in bob’s office is very dated, when edna is going on her “no capes” rant she cites superheroes who died from cape designs and says their deaths were in the 50s, all the cars in the film have 60s models, any advanced tech we really see is seemingly kept secret from the general public, here’s a newspaper from the film:

may 16th, 1962

some people are saying that the technology on bob’s desk was too advanced for the 1960s but not really, in the 60s computers DID exist they were just big and bulky and small screened, which matches bob’s:

you could argue that some of the fashion isn’t very realistic to the 60s as some of the women wear pants, but women did wear pants in the 60s even if it wasn’t common. as for the mens fashion, it’s kinda spot on. the business suits with short sleeved button ups and skinny black ties, the turtlenecks, and for more dressed down looks wearing a t-shirt and jeans isn’t very unrealistic (and that little boy on the red tricycle, wearing a baseball cap, and chewing bubble gum is like classic 60s imagery)

some outfits were likely oversights and/or them not wanting the time period to be too glaring. the sequel looks like they’re going to be making the womens wardrobe fit the stereotypical 60s timeframe better, as you can see in the trailer:

the writer and director of the incredibles has even said that he based the film on classic 60s superheroes and comics like god guys please use google search, why would i lie about this

Also in the original version of Syndrome meeting the kids he didn’t say the “Busy” line he says “I didn’t think they let you guys breed?!” Which, aside from being incredibly dark all on its own, suggests that America took fascist measures to control the populace of superhumans, making Bob’s struggle to keep the family hidden and everyone’s elation at Jack Jack not having powers utterly depressing ALSO the age of Violet puts the prologue scene somewhere in the 40s which forces the viewer to consider two possibilities, one that World War 2 never happened because of the existence of superheroes in America as a deterrent or two that superheroes were created by America as a weapon for use in the second world war

I don’t usually like to poke my head in and correct, but since this line has haunted my dreams for fifteen years, I have to make an exception: alternate!Syndrome’s line isn’t “I didn’t think they let you guys breed!”

He’s not just making a cruel joke, and he’s not suggesting anything. In the original concept, it was explicitly illegal for supers to have kids. It’s like the shock collar concepts in early drafts of Zootopia: would definitely have made for a much darker movie.

DUDES WTF

I know everyone gets mad at the, whole “How does no one know Clark Kent is Superman” thing but these are people who do not appreciate the comedy gold of people assuming Superman doesn’t have a secret identity, and freely talking shit about Superman while Clark Kent is in the room.

Lois: *looking at a picture of Superman in flight* Why do you think he does that?

Clark: Does what?

Lois: The little cheerleader fist-pump pose when he’s flying, y’know with the knee tucked up like that. Like… we know he can whoosh around while standing perfectly upright, why the pose?

Clark: Er… streamlining, maybe?

Lois: Naaahh… I bet he thinks it looks cool.

Clark: *a little hurt* I mean I think it looks kind of cool.

where did you find a test to do this?

I suppose that’s “fine”, for someone that isn’t a native English speaker..?

Oh shit, this result is way better than I expected it to be.

Pretty good for a second language imo. Though they should add a ‘I don’t f*cking know’ option because I had to guess sometimes. 

That’s great for non native English speaker. This was fun give it a try!
