101. Elastigirl was a sarcastic housewife...I mean, I don't dislike her, but she's definitely been done before and I didn't think she was noteworthy at all. Yea, she had superpowers, but so did most of the cast, that was the point of the movie. Eh.

I think that's a surface reading of the character. Elasti-Girl was the kind of character which Holly Hunter seeks out, at least when she's getting decent screenplays to work with: she's a career woman who had never considered that her position in life had changed. Most superhero movies would never write in a moment where, in the middle of the action, a character stops in front of a mirror to regard themselves and sigh, but this was the central crux of Elasti-Girl.

An accomplished pilot, a decorated hero, a dominant personality, and without even realizing it she had constricted herself and removed everything that made her unique for the sake of her children. In many ways, The Incredibles is her story. Her plot, following her as she attempts to regain everything that made her special while still attempting to provide for and shelter her children, is more compelling than anything else in the film. Also, there's no real sarcasm in her tone; it's obvious that whomever wrote her dialogue knew quite a many southern women with dry, droll senses of humor. If only more female characters were as well written.

That's a great analysis of the character.

Amen, amen. She was always my favorite part of the movie, and this was EXACTLY the way I perceived her and the movie.

In fact, one of my favorite parts is when she's flying the plane, dodging attacks, using her body to protect her children in the resulting explosion, and then waking up mid-fall to save them and herself again. That right there showed me her first moment proving that she CAN have her cake and eat it too, that she doesn't need to sacrifice herself in order to play the role of the housewife/mother.
