here's what i've seen:
Mr. incredible/ the thing: super strength
Mrs. incredible/ Mr.fantastic: stretchy and rubbery (like luffy!)
Violet/Susan Storm: turn invisible and use force fields
others: Johnny Storm, Dash, Jack-Jack (johnny storm does have fire powers and the first power jack-jack used was putting his whole body on fire)
plus the villian:
Dr. Doom: wants revenge of mr. fantastic and is jealous of him
Syndrome: wants revenge of mr. incredible and is jeaous of him
and mr. incredibles first suit was light blue like the FF.
and the name:
MR. fantastic
MR. incredible

If you put it like that, The Incredibles is the ripoff. The Fantastic 4 has been around since the 60's.

I always thought of The Incredibles as a parody.
And think it is…
-
my previous topic? if you mean the poll, they closed it because there was another non-pole topic, but they didnt quite give their opinions, and the incredibles did immatate the FF. and just so we know, they're making the incredibles #2.
-
Who cares? I like the Incredibles better anyway. >> Nya, they are similar though~
-
It's really not a rip-off so much as it is an homage to them. It's hardly like the FF are unknown in the comics world and they didn't think anyone would notice the similarities. They did it deliberately.

Meh. Never saw either movie. I'd like to see the Incredibles due to one scene: when Mr Incredible tries to put his uniform on, but is too fat. Hilarious~!
-
I've been saying this since The Incredibles came out but nobody believed me.
(Thanks Jeece)
Everyone loves Magical Trevor

The long awaited sequel
-
exactly. we have comic books from the past to prove it too. i'd smack anyone over the head that said FF copied the incredibles.
see what happens kids when you dont read you comic books? -
Dysfunctional families fighting crime :o About the main difference, really, between them is that the Fantastic Four are actually well-known in their 'real' personas and get a lot of respect points…
-
The creator said inan interview he heavily based the characters off the Fantastic 4. Just sorta flipped the genders. I can remember one quote exactly "Elastigirl acts like Susan Storm,but with her husbands powers"
But as for which is better, I cant say. I love both. Incredibles is one of my favorite Disney Movies now. Fantaistic 4 was a childhood favorite. Hell I cried when my streatchy Mr. Fantastics arm broke off.
Just like my Streatch Armstrong. Guess his arms werent that strong… -
Then what does that make Sky High to X-Men?
-
Sky High is ass no matter what it rips off.

[snapback]87348[/snapback]That actully just the teaser, it doesn't appear in the movie. Though if you get the DVD, you can see it in the extras.
Back on topic, I think it was pretty obvious when they started showing the trailers on TV that people notice this. Yes their like the Fantastic 4, but this was Pixar were talking about. They knew what they were getting into from the get go, and besides I doubt the movie would've made it onscreen if they didn't get any feedback from Marvel first (remember that City of Heroes game and how Marvel file a lawsuit just because some of the heroes look like their characters.). As to which is better, meh I like em both.

I actually recently read an article in a magazine which viewed the Fantastic Four as a rip off of The Incredibles. I personally hate it when someone makes a statment like that, especally when there's evidence that proves them wrong (i.e. the fact the FF have been around since the 60s).
However I once read that The Incredibles powers come from how a family is meant to work. For example, the father is meant to be the strength of the family, the mother is expected to do many different tasks at the same time, the teenager often wants to be left alone and not be seen. It's just a coincidence that their powers happen to be simular to the Fantastic Four's.
-
The Incredibles is just a parody, IMO.
It's better, too, also IMO.

[snapback]87469[/snapback]It's not even out yet, how the hell would you know?
As for copying… well, if it is, it's seems fairly reasonable that it was to honour them rather than steal. But, personally, I think Incredibles is different enough to not be a "rip off".
Mr. Incredible is nothing like Thing. He's more like Hulk if you need a comparison model. But really, super strength is an extremely generic power.
Jak jak turning into fire... it seemed to me his abilities involved being able to alter his shape and form to anything he desired, which has nothing to do with Johnny Storm's ability to turn into fire. If you had to have a comparison, Jak Jak's more like a combined version of the Wonder Twins, for lack of a better hero to compare him too.
Dash - welp, no runners and no kids in Fantastic 4.
Elastigirl could just as easily have been based off Plastic Man. =)
They could be loosely based on The Fantastic four, the name seems to be a tip of the hat to it... though I don't see why it would matter. It was a great movie that stood on its own pretty well, without any sort of former reputation to back it up.
I do find it funny, though, that F4 had to rework on their movie after Incredibles came out... because Elastigirl was so awesome compared to what they had for Mr. Fantastic =)
-
Yeah..Incredibles is a great movie but is the rip-off of Fantastic 4
And that little boy dash could be the thing :lol:
sorry just had to say that.

One more thing, the Underminer is a dead ringer for the Mole Man (the first FF baddie).

[snapback]88125[/snapback]Oh yeah, you could tell who the real comic book geeks were in the audience because we all started laughing like crazy when he showed up. Everyone else must have thought we were looney. ^^
Still standing by my assesment that it's an homage, not a rip-off (yes there's a difference).

Apparently, there's gonna be a new Incredibles game called Rise of the Underminer. I dunno whether it's gonna be turned into a film, though.
 
If you spoiler me, I will eat you with tater tots.
