Quote #4
VIOLET: Normal? What do you know about normal? What does anyone in this family know about normal?
Most kids think that their parents are weird, but in the Parrs' case it's pretty darn true. Can your mom stretch herself into a parachute? Can your dad cause an earthquake with a fart? Yeah—we thought not.

BOB: Reliving the glory days is better than acting like they didn't happen.
HELEN: Yes, they happened. But this, our family, is what's happening now, Bob. And you're missing this. I can't believe you don't want to go to your own son's graduation.
Bob and Helen have very different ways of responding to the transition from superhero to parent. Bob pines over the glory days like a washed-up high school quarterback. Helen pretends like those glory days never happened. Neither of these approaches is all that healthy, and as we've already seen, both have a negative impacts on their kids.

SYNDROME: What have we here? Matching uniforms? Oh, no! Elastigirl? You married Elastigirl? [...] It's a whole family of supers! Looks like I've hit the jackpot.
When Syndrome captures Mr. Incredible, he has no idea that this off-brand Superman has a family of his own. As you can, the revelation blows his mind. On one hand, it serves as an easy way for Syndrome to gain leverage over Mr. Incredible. On the other, it transforms the way he thinks about his childhood idol, making him seem far more human.
