The Incredibles Ending Explained: How That Cliffhanger Set Up The Incredibles 2

The Incredibles ended with the Parr family closer than ever, and the villain Syndrome thoroughly smote, as well as a cliffhanger that perfectly set up a sequel. The 2004 film featured a family of superheroes forced to keep their powers a secret thanks to laws prohibiting supers in the public eye. The father, Bob Parr, and the mother, Helen, had once been the famous superheroes, Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, until one too many catastrophic rescues led to these restrictive laws. The two continued with a domestic life, but Bob was discontented and yearned for the good old days.
