Never once entered your mind??????????????
Nothing came to mind during the sequence when Bob Parr discovers Syndrome's plan of destroying a city in order to "save" it and watches planes flying into high-rise buildings? Or when we see Syndrome flying directly into a skyline remarkably similar to downtown Manhattan? Or when the explicit theme of the movie is the necessity of people to realize their potential, rise to the occasion and work together in the face of catastrophe? If that isn't a post-9/11 sensibility, I don't know what is. It's not twisted nor meant to upset but inspire and succeeds. Nevertheless, the implications are unsettling to find in a family entertainment.
