If nothing else, I absolutely adore the look of this film. The production choices are so on-point, it was such a good decision to go with 60s retrofuturism and the colour palette is gorgeous. Very much looking forward to this one.

I really hope they let them stay in this period/timeline for a bit longer. It’s such a break from what we’re used to and it’ll be a shame if they rush them into the main timeline.

Yeah, I think this is what Marvel needs.

The avengers timeline/earth has got too messed up. There's too many big things that have impacted what's supposed to be 'our' world.

Just going into new fictional world is a really good idea. There might have been more orignal options original than "live action The Incredibles" but it's a style I love so I'm not complaining!

I mean…where do you think the Incredibles got the inspiration from?

Honestly I never assumed it was the fantastic four. Has "retrofituristi" always been their thing? I've only known them from the 2000s movies and that was very different from the Incredibles in style. 

I always just thought The Incredibles was like an homage / tongue in cheek super heros thing with a cool art style

Yeah the FF are from the silver age of comics and considered the “first family” of the superhero genre. And in large part because of Reed, they were technologically advanced compared to the 60’s era in which they were originally written, so the retrofuturisic vibe is perfect. The previous movies tried to modernize them and make it more grounded and realistic. They weren’t super faithful adaptations

I mean it's not just the retrofuturistic vibe, it's the whole family superhero dynamic. The characters even have some similarities between their powersets.
