Giving Compass' Take:

• AEI discusses stay-at-home superdads, working moms heroically stretching themselves to the limit and the contemporary gender dynamics that play out on the big screen in the new Disney/Pixar movie "Incredibles 2."

• Nonprofits working with a gender equity lens should have some fun examining how the animated feature reflects many of the issues families face today (except with tighter outfits). But seeing a mainstream movie confront challenging topics shouldn't be underestimated: It'll start good conversations.

• Hollywood is all about the social issues lately! Here's why one activist took 800 kids to see "Black Panther."

The amount of ink spilled analyzing the feminist messages of the new Disney/Pixar movie "Incredibles 2" is, well, incredible. From the shape of Elastigirl’s backside to the “Mr. Mom” routine by Mr. Incredible, the long-awaited sequel seems made for our current cultural moment. But the movie doesn’t seem to be as much of an ideological crusade as it is an accurate representation of modern day gender dynamics.

The concept of the new movie is clever enough: The superheroes in hiding are offered the chance to spearhead the effort to make superheroism legal again ... But the mogul launching this new legalization effort thinks that Elastigirl, not Mr. Incredible, would make a better face for the campaign.

And, frankly, he is right. Mr. Incredible has his heart in the right place but he makes big messes and doesn’t always think about the consequences of his actions. Elastigirl, though, takes on this assignment only reluctantly. She has three kids at home — an adolescent girl, a boy struggling with school, and a baby who is not even talking yet. Like most mothers of young children, Elastigirl is happy to work part time. She can fight crime and still help the kids with their homework, spend time with the baby during the day, and make a nice family dinner each evening.

But the new offer is something much more time-consuming. She has to leave her family, go stay in a hotel room, and be on call from morning until night.
