Watchmen vs Incredibles

Let's talk about two movies that deconstruct the superhero genre. Although they have very different tones, they are very similar in plot.   

Watchmen is a cult classic and quite possibly the most underrated superhero movie of the 21st century. It is adapted from one of the most influential graphic novels of all time. 

The Incredibles won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2004, has been met with universal acclaim, and is considered a Pixar masterpiece.
