The Fascinating Theory Behind Why 'The Incredibles' Took So Long to Make

The sequel to one of our ultimate childhood movies from 2004, The Incredibles is coming out in 2019!

It feels like we've already been waiting a million (12) years for this...

But Tumblr user sophicals had a pretty stunning realization after Disney announced the release year for The Incredibles 2, and it might explain why it's taken so long to get a second film.

In the first movie, the villain Syndrome (aka Buddy) has captured Mr. Incredible and told him that he has a missile aimed at this family. Mr. Incredible tells him he'll do anything to keep his family safe, and Syndrome tells him:

"Too late! 15 years too late!"

He's of course referencing how Mr Incredible blew him off 15 years ago when he was a little fanboy and now he's bitter as shit. So, how does this connect with the second film? 

Because when The Incredibles 2 is released in 2019, there will be 15 years between the first film and second one.

IS THIS A MASSIVE COINCIDENCE or what?

We would not put this past Disney... have you read the Pixar theory!? 

Syndrome got revenge 15 years after Mr. Incredible dissed him. And now 15 years after The Incredibles, perhaps another villain will do the same in the sequel? Maybe Syndrome has a long lost sister? Or child?

This all could be a crazy coincidence, but we think it's more exciting to think Disney planned all of this in 2004 and that the 15 year gap between Syndrome's childhood and his revenge scheme and the 15 year gap between the first and second movie will be related somehow.
