>>108483401>Dash's character was regressed in this movie While I, too, was disappointed by that, it was probably because the sequel had a greater focus on Jack-Jack than the original, making it harder to fit in more time for Dash. But I still enjoyed the scenes that we got.
>Helen's actions goes against her original stance of putting her family 1st There was a 15-year gap where Supers went into hiding and Supervillains inexplicably disappeared, right? Maybe saving the city from Syndrome AND fighting The Underminer reignited Helen’s love of superheroing that Bob had in the first film, thus becoming more open to the idea of gradually bringing Supers back out of the shadows (but while still holding some hesitation about getting the kids involved).
>Bob had no real progression in the movie as the children just suddenly decide to take their father's feeling into account and shape up Bob managed to help Dash with his schoolwork and found ways to control Jack-Jack’s powers (with help from Edna). He also came clean to Violet about getting Tony Rydinger mindwiped and showed genuine care and remorse about how that affected Violet (and this was after trying to get them back together at the diner on the other side of town, albeit failing in that regard). Bob got directly involved in his kids’ lives, but I’ll admit that he never really grew to accept the idea of Helen becoming the “Superhero Breadwinner” of the house rather than him.
>Violet had no real progression either She was dealing with boy trouble for the first half of the film, and then took charge to get the whole family reunited. Not much of progression from the first film, but it was nice to see her get more to do this time around (again, unfortunately at the expense of more Dash material).
>It sucks that they don't even show the kids in school, or them going through their civilian lives Boy trouble. Also, Elastigirl’s mission was more important to the overall plot.
