And Pixar hasn't sued this HK film yet, why? Retired Super heros who marry and settle down to start a family? Check. Former super heros unable to adapt to non-super hero life? Check. "Incredibles" in the title? Check.

yup sounds like they're at it again. Immediately it sounded like a "The Incredibles" rip-off. A similar chinese studio got away with it on Shinkai's movie "5 cm per Second" Nearly ripping off scene for scene of the entire movie and winning an award doing it O_o...

A fan of his works like me was pretty pissed but eh, china gets away with almost anything these days, all we can do as fans is simply not buy second rate regurgitated crap and all will be well.

I'm just morbidly curious about what sort of power "Aroma Woman" possesses. Shocked

Pixar needs to sue the movie maker of this HK movie? Check before yelling that this a Incredible rip-off - there seems to be a China hate here/everywhere. I am pretty sure this kind of plot has been used in many of those old Hong Kong or Taiwanese Wuxia movies or TV series, and that's way before Pixar used it in their Incredibles CGI movie. Also the Chinese title doesn't exactly translate into "Mr. & Mrs. Incredible" (I guess it's more a parody on the title of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie).

If anything, this parodies the concept used in the Incredibles, which itself is not unique. You might as well ask why isn't SNL sued to hell and back.

Quote:
but their romance takes a toll as tranquility doesn’t seem to agree with Gazer Man’s libido.

The couple attend a local martial arts contest to reignite the flames of passion, but Gazer Man’s olfactory empowered bride feels threatened when her laser-eyed husband pays more attention to attractive Phoenix Bleu.

.. yeah that's Pixar-like all right Rolling Eyes
