The Incredibles

edit

In Talk:Ice Station – Impossible!, you asked:

could someone explain the relationship between Mr. Incredible and his wife. Zeos386sx 02:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Here's my response:

Well, this is an encyclopedia rather than a comment board about Venture Brothers. Still, I can't resist a challenge...
As with most of the Venture Brothers, everything is basically a parody of something else. Here, the Incredibles' miserable, dead end marriage is a parody of Reed and Sue Richards in the Fantastic Four. Instead of a healthy, happy family unit you get an insensitive, workaholic husband and an insecure, clingy wife desperate for his attention (and respect, and freedom, and sex, and... well, anything). By the end of the episode, we find that Sally is pregnant and Richard is more interested in the mystery of how Dr. Venture's sample could show pregnancy than noticing his wife bursting into tears and fleeing the room.
As clueless as Richard is, it's easy for any viewer to see that the relationship is pretty much doomed. I mean, c'mon, she's throwing herself at Rusty Venture, for Pete's sake! If that ain't the bottom of the barrel, it's damn close. By the time she meets JJ, she couldn't bail out on Richard faster if she were strapped to an ejection seat. By Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner? they've set up housekeeping, although we hear nothing about a divorce with Richard. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if that little plot complication rears up at some later point.
Well, does that sum it up or are there specific issues you were wondering about?
