I love the concept of a superhero story set in the 1960s. I love the superhero family. And the dialogue is just gold. The characters are fleshed-out and so likable. Pixar is known for their amazing story writing, so I believe it&#8217;s about time that I&#8217;ve highlighted some writing lessons from one of their movies. As Mr. Incredible would say, &#8220;Show time.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/tumblr_ltw4th3X831qm6oc3o1_500.gif?resize=400%2C166\" width=\"400\" \/><\/div>\n<p><!-- more --><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">1.) The Story Centers Around One Important Event &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The opening scene of this film is referenced to throughout the movie. This is when Mr. Incredible causes his lawsuit, which contributes to the disbanding of superheroes and when Buddy decides to turn into Syndrome. This single event caused most of Mr. Incredible&#8217;s problem and is very key to the story.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing: <\/b>Have you thought of writing a story that centralizes around one event early on in the story?

This allows the fun worldbuilding of retro technology and more classic costumes. The lack of modern conveniences such as cellphones can also pose as an interesting element.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing: <\/b>Have you thought of taking a genre known for taking place in a certain time period and changing it?

Calling Out Cliches &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: small;\">One of my favorite parts of this movie is how it calls out so many superhero cliches like the danger of wearing capes, villain monologues, and bad guys not hurting children because they&#8217;re children. Edna particularly is known for insistence upon not letting Mr. Incredible have a cape. Frozone and Mr. Incredible laugh about how a villain started monologuing when Frozone was captured. Helen has a sound talk with Dash and Violet about how bad guys won&#8217;t show restraint on children. This adds bother humor and a sense of realism to the story.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"139\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/57898-no-capes-gif-Edna-Mode-incredi-vaw3.gif?resize=320%2C139\" width=\"320\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing: <\/b>Can you call out cliches in your story&#8217;s genre?

I&#8217;ve often seen movies where years later a hero still has their full capacity even though they haven&#8217;t practiced in years. That just isn&#8217;t realistic. Everyone has to warm up even when they are great at what they do. Seeing Bob gain weight after years of superhero dormancy and then have to work it out was an interesting sight to see.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing: <\/b>Do you have heroes that haven&#8217;t worked at their craft in a while?

It&#8217;s a breath of fresh air to see couples like Bob and Helen, who have a healthy marriage. Yes, they have their struggles and their doubts, but they work through them like couples should. By the end of the movie their marriage grows like a marriage should.
