A video believes it shows a connection between Samuel L Jackson’s Infinity War and The Incredibles. It’s pure fanfiction, but I love the comments

Superhero movies have become the most popular genre in cinema. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe stands above them all, they are certainly not the only superhero movies out there. There are plenty of upcoming superhero movies from multiple studios. Even Disney has other superhero movies thanks to Pixar’s Incredibles family, and someone just discovered the strangest connection between the MCU and The Incredibles.

A video goes viral Instagram that shows two superhero movie moments side by side, both including Samuel L. Jackson and helicopter crashes. One is the post-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War and the other shows off Frozone The Incredibles looking for his super suit. Both include a strikingly similar helicopter crash. Check it out.

Both scenes show a helicopter spinning out of control and crashing into a high-rise building. The timing between seeing the helicopter and seeing the explosion is so similar in both scenes that it’s impossible not to wonder if this is more than just a coincidence.

The is just a coincidence, of course. Still, the way the two scenes fit together is quite impressive. It looks like it could be on purpose, and some fans really seem to think that the scene from Avengers: Infinity War was handled that way specifically because of the scene i The Incredibles. Others may know it wasn’t intentional, but they still have fun with it all. Comments include:

You just made me realize that people died in The Incredibles
Part of me thinks the crashing helicopter in this scene was an homage to Samuel L Jackson’s role in The Incredibles
That was just my first thought when I saw that scene, I’m glad I wasn’t alone
They 100% made that Marvel scene like that because of The Incredibles

While The Incredibles and the MCU may both be superhero focused, they are certainly very different stories. The Incredibles has always been about family first and superheroes second. That said, it’s hard to imagine any superhero story today not taking some influence from the MCU, so the idea that the MCU took some inspiration from The Incredibles is nice with one Fantastic four movies coming from Marvel, maybe Pixar’s superhero family will really have an impact on Marvel’s first family.

The current list of upcoming Pixar films includes those recently announced Incredible 3. What that movie is going to be about is unknown, it’s unclear if there’s even a script or story idea right now. While franchise director Brad Bird specifically didn’t want to Incredibles 2 referencing popular superhero movies, it doesn’t mean that Incredible 3 will not contain any soert reference. Maybe it won’t be obvious, but if there’s even the slightest chance that the connection between these two films was made on purpose, maybe the new Unbelievable movies could provide a service.
