Alright, guys, it seems that I have finally got myself a writer’s block after a mere set of two chapters. Let me try and describe it as clearly as possible.
Since this is a fan fic portraying what might a sequel of “The Incredibles” be like, I couldn’t just focus all my attention on Violet’s love life (as much as I’m tempted to). Thus, I had been brain-storming about different ideas for the first fight scene Bob and Helen would go through.
At first, I tried with a fire-breathing dragon, but that just seemed too… out there, and if you noticed the villains in the film, they appeared to be your average, everyday criminals that went down the wrong path. Sure, Syndrome had a giant robot, but he was still very Earthly, not out there and definitely not outrageously unrealistic.
Then, I started thinking about what Metroville in those days would be like - you know, the suburban life style in the ‘80s.’ What kind of criminals existed then? What did the cities looked like (we were never really given much details on that in the film)? Was the crime rate severely threatening then? Etc, etc.
Also, I actually wanted this scene to be not just your ordinary trouble waiting to be cleaned up by Mr. I; I wanted it to link with another story line I had in mind for the fic. As the description of my fic claimed, it would involve a mysterious organization. I haven’t come up with a name for them, yet, but every event in the entire story has to contain some kind of link with this organization, whether it’s with their motive, their crime, or anything else related to them.
Therefore, I thought of having Mr. I and Elastigirl apprehending a group of mobsters who was actually working for the organization, unbeknownst to them. What goes on later shall remain a mystery.
So, what do you guys think? Any suggestions? This Incredibles fan fic would show a darker side of the world of The Incredibles, so feel free to drop any suggestions that would help me in achieving that kind of tone in “ii – An Incredibles Sequel.”
