When audiences look for a story about a dysfunctional family gaining superpowers, the default touchstone is almost always Pixar’s The Incredibles . Brad Bird’s animated classic is a masterpiece of action and style, using the superhero genre to explore mid-life crises and family dynamics. However, if one looks past the CGI and the nostalgic James Bond aesthetic, the live-action pilot of No Ordinary Family (1x01) arguably delivers a superior, more grounded, and emotionally complex narrative about what actually happens when ordinary people become extraordinary.

The show is frequently compared to The Incredibles (hence the Spanish title Los Increíbles Powell ). The pilot succeeds because it treats the family drama as the "A-plot" and the superpowers as the "B-plot."

The Incredibles treats the mid-life crisis primarily through Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible). He misses the glory days. His solution is to secretly punch things again. It is a male-centric fantasy of regained relevance.
