In my screening of Incredibles 2, the audience predominately consisted of children. This is in spite of the fact that the first film was released 14 years ago, long before any of them had even materialised in their father\u2019s ballsack.<\/p>\n
How can anyone who wasn\u2019t born before the original possibly expect to understand the cultural significance of the franchise when they weren\u2019t present during its inception? They\u2019ll just be sitting there, blinking and drooling like idiots, not appreciating who the characters are what they\u2019ve already been through.<\/p>\n
Karen Baker, a 31-year-old woman I met in the foyer before the film, who was wearing an Incredibles t-shirt that looked about seven sizes too small, said: \u201cIf a child disrupts my experience of this film I swear to God I will express my rage on Twitter with a GIF. You must be at least 25 to watch Incredibles 2. That is this sequel\u2019s true audience, and I will palm punch a toddler if I have to.\u201d<\/p>\n
Darryl Green, a 47-year-old IT consultant who smelt suspiciously of jizz, added: \u201cBeing 14 or even 20 doesn\u2019t excuse you. Simply existing during the time of the original\u2019s release is not enough. You have to be at a sentient enough age to appreciate a film\u2019s themes and nuances. I was 33 when the first one came out and I\u2019m pretty certain I was the only one in the cinema who really understood what it was about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Quite simply, if you weren\u2019t born before 2004 you are a disgrace. In fact, I\u2019d go as far to say that anyone born after the year 2000 shouldn\u2019t be considered a real person \u2013 and they certainly shouldn\u2019t be allowed to watch Incredibles 2.<\/p>\n
Take me, for example. I wasn\u2019t alive when the original Star Wars<\/a> trilogy came out, so I have refrained from watching every sequel and prequel that has been made since. It\u2019s just the respectful thing to do.<\/p>\n
