[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4992236, member: 18280"] However, the context of the line is almost universal in the movie, from the little old lady in the insurance office who isn't supposed to be treated as a unique individual to the woman who makes capeless costumes for superheroes and has nothing to do until Bob shows up to the trike kid just waiting for something amazing to happen. Because the words are stated by only certain characters doesn't mean that they are not contextually demonstrated by almost every character in the film. Not so. The idea (that if everyone is special, then no one is) within the context of the film is the idea of artificially levelling the playing field (whether by supressing super powers or by artificially reproducing them). That idea is tested when the supers are not allowed to be super any more, and it is shown to be a critical fail by the end of the film. RC [/QUOTE]
