Frozone Location: Known Frozone Supersuit Location: Unknown

Remember Frozone’s quote...”I don’t see anyone from the old days Bob just you”

Syndrome was soooooo much more brutal and cunning of a villain than any of us realized when we first watched this as kids. Systematic murder just to get back at one man for denying him a role as sidekick. Pixar went unapologetically dark here and I love it.

The sigh of relief and his expression when discovering Syndrome doesnt know of his wife's location is such a huge acknowledgement of how dangerous Syndrome really is.

Looks up his wife first, then his best man, then himself, Honorable man.

These people were his friends. Imagine not being in contact with your friends for 15 years only to find out that they were all systematically murdered by a single person

It’s crazy that Frozone was actually the next one who was going to be killed. It’s why his location is marked as “KNOWN” and it’s why Mirage was spying on them in the car earlier on in the movie before she decided to switch targets. Knowing he can’t use his powers when there’s no water in the air… and the fact that the Omnidroid purposefully tried to push Mr. Incredible into lava… it kind of gives that earlier fight a bit of a dark context.

As a kid, I didn't realize Gazerbeam was the skeleton in the cave. I thought it was one of Syndrome's goons abandoned in the cave, left to starve and die off, or die from wounds from a rogue test from his robot tests. Since I learned that, and how many heros he actually killed, it changed the whole context of how evil and sadistic Syndrome actually was. Killing off all the supers on that line island. Also you will figure out that Gazerbeam was the first to infiltrate Syndrome's HQ. He discovered the code "Kronos" and wrote it on the cave wall just before he died from his wounds. Gazerbeam was systematically assassinated, and found out.

it’s even sadder when you realize that mr incredible probably feels responsible for their deaths since he unknowingly started syndromes path to villainy

The darkest part of this scene is the fact that everytime a super managed to destroy a omnidroid, Syndrome* made sure that the next version can kill that super and continue its killing spree...

You can see the shock and sadness Mr. Incredible feels when he learns that the supers were being killed off one by one this whole time. They weren’t strangers to him or simple acquaintances. They were his FRIENDS. A good number of them attended his wedding. They KNEW his and Helen’s secret identities and vice versa. Truly one of the most (if not the most) dark moments in Pixar movie history.

Fun fact: There is a half an hour video of all the heroes taking interviews, voice acting and everything. They all had mini groups and beefs among each other just like a normal group of coworkers. Makes this scene all the more chilling. PIXAR is really on a different level when it comes to storytelling.

Frozone said “I don’t see anyone from the old days”.

As a kid I didn't realize how bad this was but now I realize Mr. Incredible probably knew all those heroes that died. They were all probably his old friends.

Respect for Gazerbeam for finding out the password for the computer. Without him, all superheroes will be dead

Another interesting think about Syndrome is that he was perfectly fine with killing off Mr Incredible without explaining his evil plan or even revealing himself. It’s only after his former hero defeated one of the omnidroids and faked his death that he became so impressed he had to confront him.

Shoutout to Macroburst, Downburst, Hypershock, Gazerbeam and Gamma Jack for being the only ones besides the Incredibles/Frozone to take out an Omnidroid.

*_"You mean you killed off real heroes, so that you could PRETEND to be one?!"_*

The real genius of this scene is instead of showing a flashback of the heroes’ death, the audience had to imagine what and how it happened, which added a lot to the horror.

The fact that we don't see how they die but they just have a big "terminated" over their picture is hauting. And the fact Syndrome created all these machines just makes him such a dangerous villain.

Imagine defeating an omnidroid only to get killed by the next one.

This has got to be the greatest kill count in a PG movie.

This scene is absolutely brilliant. As a kid this just blows straight past your head but as a teen or adult you see just how horrifying it really is. The score in the background slowly building up as he finds out the truth is immaculate. This my friends, is how you do death in a pg movie. 10/10 scene.

I quite like the touch that the employee on the phone states that his employment was "terminated" and then it switches to the heroes being labelled "terminated".

me in 2004: aw man mr. incredible got kidnapped :( me in 2018: A superhero just found out all of his fellow super friends are dead all because he rejected his number 1 fan. Dude...

When you realize Syndrome killed anywhere from 15 to 20 people in cold blood just because he wasn't able to become a sidekick

As a child I used to just think of these as a "oh, they were defeated" But when I rewatched it as a teen, I literally let out a gasp. Considering how Bob himself struggled to fight the robot, I could only imagine how much torture those heroes went through, specially considering how the machine was literally about to slowly rip Bob in half and slice him to death. It leaves so much horror to the imagination and even worse, you come to understand his deep loathing for heroes was strong enough for him to build these huge robots, find the secret identities of all these heroes, and lure them into his island just to enjoy watching them get mercilessly killed. He's killed around 20 heroes and he seems to be in his late 20s-early 30s. Imagine how much of a menace he could've been had he lived longer.

I like how the noises represent how really sadistic Syndrome was, when someone was terminated it made a positive/valid chirp, as if the progressive of it made the situation bright to him. And when it reveals that elastigirl’s location was unknown it made a low buzz. simulating his frustration when he didn’t get his way

Imagine learning that all your best friends were silently picked off one by one by an old friend.

I remember not getting this scene as a kid. My sister had to explain to me how sad it was because it was saying Syndrome killed all those supers by testing his robots on them, honing his craft until he had the right machine to kill Mr. incredible. It's super fucked up. Syndrome might have one of the highest kill counts of any Disney or Pixar villain.

“You killed off real hero’s ,so you could pretend to be one!” -Mr. Incredible

This scene was truly something else. While thrown into a child's movie, it's something not only the parents could watch and see for what it truly was, it's something we could watch again later in life and understand how dark it ACTUALLY was.

Gazerbeam was one of the supers that attended Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl's wedding in the beginning of the movie. Damn.

The fact he searches his wife and best friend before himself tells you a lot about Mr Incredible.

Honestly, This scene as a kid makes it look like the heroes were beaten and you're just sitting there confused not understanding but as an adult you understand that Syndrome was a psychopath who *KILLED* almost all of the heroes over the years while being undetected until Kronos discovered and gave Mr Incredible a chance to find out the more horrifying truth about the kid who once believed in superheroes..

1:14 He slaughtered all of these people, all because Bob wouldn't let him be his sidekick. It's really hard to sympathize with him, based off of that.

all jokes aside, this scene was eerie, almost creepy.

Imagine the pain of having to search up your friends only to find out they're dead all because you rejected an obsessive fanboy who just wanted to be your sidekick.

Hey guys want this scene to be even more horrifying? Some of those murdered Supers probably had families just like the Pars. Young children just like Dash and Violet. Imagine your mom/dad taking a mysterious new job to help the house and then one day never coming back. Never knowing they were murdered by a psychotic manchild unable to move on from a stupid grudge.

Syndrome basicaly executes order 66 to the supers.

This is legit one of the most bone chilling scenes in the entire animation history

If it wasn’t for Gazorbeam writing the password in his final moments Mr Incredible wouldn’t have found any of this out.

It is insane how one tiny thing Mr. Incredible said resulted in something so big, be careful what you take for granted.

The music slowly getting louder and more dramatic as more and more supers appear with *TERMINATED* across them on the screen is what makes this scene so dark and so epic to me. It really highlights just how dark Syndrome as a villain truly was. The Incredibles is a timeless masterpiece.

An even scarier fact is that if Bob had not found all this, Frozone most likely would’ve been the next one to be killed because they knew his location

You don’t realise how in depth and sadistic syndrome is when you’re a child watching this. He literally lured and killed superheroes while playing on their emotions. Any times his robots got defeated he upgraded it and then kills them without remorse. Such a crazy character.

According to a later scene, Mr. Incredible was snooping around at 11:07pm that night. The countdown he accesses shows that the rocket will launch in 8 hours, 10 minutes and 42 seconds, meaning that Syndrome for some reason thought "Man, I should launch this thing at precisely 7:18am for no apparent reason."

The music, the dark themes of genocide, and the claustrophobia at the end... what a tense scene! Always loved it as a kid but now as an adult I appreciate the level of detail and passion that went into making this film.

Some of these supers were at his wedding

Seeing the hero's picture with "TERMINATED" over it is so much more affecting than seeing the heroes actually die, it leaves so much to the imagination, that with the music, unironically cinema

For people that had the DVD of the Incredibles will know that there was a bonus feature that actually had details such as powers and personality and audio files of all the superheroes. Once you read and listen to all the audio files, you get a sense of what they were like and a little bit of their backstory and realize that they’re all dead.

I like how you can visually see the evolution of the Omnidroid variants as time went on, from having wheels and arms to just grabby tentacles with digits and then taking on a rounder form until it became a sphere. It's a small detail but it highlights how Syndrome aimed to make the Omnidroids as versatile as possible.

Imagine being a parent and having to explain to your kid what terminated means. Man Pixar knows how to be dark without being explicit

This scene is so freakin dark

One of Disney/Pixar’s darkest moments. Seeing all the superheroes killed off by Syndrome’s Omnidroids was really dark. More than just an evil supervillain, Syndrome is way out of his head. Killing off real superheroes whose responsibility is use their powers to help people, so he can pretend to be one for fame and glory. Lame but evil.

Back when Pixar wasn't afraid to go that dark. I miss that Picar

Can we literally give Gazerbeam some creds here? He’s the only one who destroyed TWO robots, he left Bob the password, and his secret identity is being a lawyer for superhero rights. WE NEED A PREQUEL SO WE CAN SEE MORE OF GAZERBEAM

It's even more twisted when you realize Syndrome _watched_ each of these heroes die, via the robotic birds throughout the island (assuming each scenario was the same as Mr. Incredible's).

No one is mentioning it, but if you pause the video and take the time to read the information about the heros and the omnidroids, you'll notice that some heroes had really incredible and mighty powers, while reading I was like "How did a robot manage to kill a guy/girl with that power?". That helps to understand the real power of an omnidroid and Syndrome's genius level intellect.

This one scene literally made The Incredibles a classic.. I just love that they don't shy away with their situation the family gets themselves into. Like when Helen talks to her kids, she doesn't baby them. She says that they will literally die if they aren't careful and that makes the stakes even better. I need more aninamted movies with some borderline reality mixed in like this film ❤

A reminder that Disney deleted the scene of the funeral for all these supers from the sequel.

When your mom looks at your browser history.

This scene says so much and yet there's no action or dialogue. Genius.

For anyone wondering why mr. Incredible was The last to be used to test the Omni droid it’s because he had the overall highest power score of any superhero meaning, according to the people who manage and look after superheroes in this world, no one could beat him in a one on one fight there are certainly people with more impressive abilities. It’s just a combination of his intelligence, and will that he could beat anyone with his powers.

This scene just goes to show how music can set the scene and mood for a movie.

What makes this scene even more intense is the fact that during the glorious days, the superheroes were probably used to fight a lot of super villains. They faced a lot of great opponents but always managed to defeat them... And now you have an ordinary boy who possesses only a great intelligence but was still able to kill every single of those heroes by creating powerful technology. Who can blame Syndrome for having so much confidence after that? But that proves how dangerous and terrifying he is as a villain.

One thing I don’t think gets talked about nearly enough is how inherently dark this movie is. -midlife crisis -failing marriage -suicide attempts -systematic suppression of people -a serial killer with delusions of grandeur -genocide All in a kids movie

Some of these heroes were at Bob and Helen's wedding. Lucius earlier in the movie even states that he kept contact only with Bob, and that Gazerbeam was another super who wasn't able to adjust to an ordinary life. Scenes like these make it clear that these supers were colleagues, even friends. And just like Bob may have struggled with the new life as well. And finally they're contacted so they can relieve their glory days, or actually feel they're helping the society by saving people from a threatening robot. And each and everyone of these supers came to intervene... only to eventually die a horrible, meaningless death. All because a petty, conceited megalomaniac felt rejected by a super who was only trying to keep him safe. Only when you grow up you realize just how dark the movie really gets!

Yoooo some of those guys were at his wedding! that’s crazy

This was probably the darkest scene in all the movies. Not only did Syndrome kill off pretty much every hero in the world, but Bob probably knew most of these people, like he did with Frozone. These people we're his friends, and Syndrome killed them all.

Syndrome has got to be one of my all time favorite villains. Without any powers, and a pure fuming disdain for heroes after his idol kicked him to the curb for his own good, he worked to systematically killed every retired hero with the goal of taking revenge on Mr. Incredible himself, the one that started him on his path. To ultimately destroy the idea of what superheroes were and will ever be. Great characterization and writing.

Proof you don’t need an R rating to be a violent film. Family movies need this level of maturity.

You don't really notice how unsettling this scene is until you watch it as an adult. Cause as a kid you don't really notice the impacts of certain movie scenes, you're more focused on seeing the action. But now you watch this and realize how messed up this is. I mean Mr. Incredible was like the best hero, he never stopped wanting to be a hero and save people even after being forced to go into hiding. And he just figured that all the big bad villains left after that as well. But now he's seeing that this dude had been killing off other heroes for years. All those years he has been raising his kids and having a family, while his friends, former heroes were being hunted and slaughtered by a bad guy that he didn't even know he created. It's ironic, the dude who wanted to save people the most unknowingly caused the deaths of multiple former heroes.

One thing I like about this scene is that the first person he thinks to look up is his wife. The second person: his best friend.

This movie hits so much harder as an adult. If you haven't seen it since you were a kid, I highly recommend rewatching jt

The fact that even with *SUPER STRENGTH* Bob had to pull real hard to get that first blob off and then couldn’t even escape makes me wonder what the hell they were made of

I like how he search Frozone before his own name like a true friend, totally missed that detail the first time I watch the movie.

This is by far Pixar’s darkest scene, as a kid you don’t really fully comprehend it, but as an adult, it slams into you like a freight train. The realization that Syndrome had every superhero lured onto his island, one by one, so he can build the perfect droid. One by one, they came to the island, lured by the same offer that was fed to Mr. Incredible, a chance to relive the glories of being a superhero and make good bank on the side. Only to be killed by Syndrome’s Prototypes. If the hero survived and destroyed the prototype, they were then killed by a more adapted and deadlier prototype. It really hits you hard, despite that ridiculous looking outfit and hairdo, you really come to reality with how much a total psychopath Syndrome is. He murdered dozens of some of the best superheroes, all because he wanted to build the perfect weapon that nobody could stop (except him remotely) and make sure the world would never need supers again.

2:48 This scene was so intense the camera even glitched lol😂

Gazerbeam used his last seconds of life to try and help anyone who could have potentially ended up in his situation.

And Helen mistakenly believes that her husband is cheating on her while he actually checks out if Syndrome is targeting her as well and was relieved to see he didn't even know her location

Frozone Location: Known. Who knows what could've happened....

I almost forgot how good the movies were back then, nowadays they're afraid to get cancelled and that fear holds them back from producing great movies again

This scene resonates a lot more once you rewatch it as an adult. These were people he knew for several years and by one person they were executed. The fear amplifies when it comes to the safety of his family and Frozone. The tension in this scene is done so well it’s amazing.

Me finding out who got banned in a discord server

Let's just stop for a moment and give Gazerbeam credit it was badass of him to infiltrate the location of Syndrome's weaponry and the first to discover KRONOS and keep in mind his only power was to fire lasers that's it. He was also an activist of superhero rights as a civilian he wouldn't side with anyone against his fellow supers like that. He was hardly onscreen and made it far enough for Bob to take action. His death brought back heroism.

I didn't understand what was happening here when I was a kid. I thought it was just listing that all of the supers that died over the years, not that they were *all killed by Syndrome*

I like the detail that in Elen's scenes the notes are calmer while in Bob's scenes the notes intensify, which fits with the scene because Elen discovers something bad but Bob discovers something even worse

Incredibles 1 was better than Incredibles 2. Anyone agree?

I think something else that gets me is that while yes, crushing Mr. Incredible was Syndrome’s ultimate goal in terms of the Omnidroid’s testing, he also probably wanted to basically eliminate every known hero so that no one could challenge him when he started pretending to be one. He wanted complete control. No opposition. And he almost got it.

A few things: 1. I was rewatching the sequel, wondering why there weren't more superheroes recruited from the old days... then I remembered they were all killed here. god. 2. Elastigirl was assessed as a moderate threat (6.2) but I think she is more deadly than that. She's so sharp, stealthy, and creative with her powers. Perhaps Syndrome underestimated her. 3. This scene (and in fact the whole movie) just gets better as I get older. The pacing of build up is perfect, this scene is dark and the music and lighting make it intense. We know how Bob feels without him saying a word. Just great all around.

As a kid, I couldn't comprehend anything else other than that they lost their fights. Uhuh. As an adult, I'm watching a man discover the genocide of his colleagues, and probably close friends. It strangely reminds me of people turning on their TVs to see their loved ones' names appear on the news, in lists of victims or missing people.

This movie is pretty dark when you think about it. Luring the supers out to the middle of nowhere, especially picking ones they knew missed being active superheroes (which was probably most all of them. Even Helen probably missed it, but she had other things she wanted to put first, like her family), and killing them off one by one just so a kid who senpai didn't notice could prove a point and live out his fantasy. Honestly if this movie wasn't for kids or had super heroes I'm pretty sure Buddy would've become a serial killer...

If you notice the threat rating for each super, he works his way up from the 1s and 2s to eventually create a robot that can kill Mr. incredible who was has a 9.1 rating

One of the coldest scenes in all of Pixar

When I was a kid I never knew the full weight of this scene But now.... holy shit

I remember rewatching this movie, and i couldn't help but notice that two of the supers in that list were actually in the church for the wedding ceremony at the start of the movie, gave me chills. You never see the supers that the prototype killed, but you see those two, alive and well, attending a friend's wedding, and now, you'll never see them again, not because they aren't part of the story, but because they're dead

Remember that the reason why Syndrome did all this is because he didn't manage to become a sidekick. Let that sink in.

Has anyone noticed the amount of detail in these few brief glimpses they did? Every hero had a summary of their powers. Every prototype had a list of their abilities. This was a kid's movie and the amount of forethought and detail put into this is not shy of, not to pun but incredible!
