Well now, hold on, before we get all high and mighty criticizing a 2001 Dreamworks picture for having an ambivalent message towards body positivity, we need to remember something: there's a completely rational reason to judge someone based on their height. Other aspects of physical appearance, whether intrinsic or chosen, don't really matter to who someone is, we all know that. But with height there's a direct correlation between how tall someone is and their overall positive social traits. So someone who is very tall is naturally just, honest, true, generous, kind, shrewd, etc. Whereas someone who is small is naturally cowardly, thieving, and cruel. If babies had the bodily capability of an adult they would all be murderous berserkers. Now you might be saying, "hold on I am or know someone who is small and they're perfectly pleasant." And yes, this is the smallness paradox. For small people have overcome their base evil through great effort and therefore are worth more, socially, than tall people who did no work.
I am very glad to be a speaker here at the Only for People Over Seven Feet Tall conference, I'm surprised I was allowed in. I suppose it must be for my books Tall People Should be Made Feudal Lords, You're Better Than Everyone Else for Something That Was Beyond Your Control, and Confessions of a Short Man. You can purchase the eBooks directly from my site as no retailer would carry them.
Capeshit though it may be, Incredibles did okay by making Edna and the insurance boss the coolest and most insufferable characters, respectively
Maybe he's insecure about his height because the society he lives in makes such a big deal of it. Even the film with a contemporary lenses is judging him. Maybes he's right to be insecure.
I try real hard not to body shame but then there are evil mfers that look like this
