Current Events > Nobody dies in LEGO Incredibles (spoilers for films)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Syndrome doesn't die. Once you defeat his giant Omnidroid, you go back to the Parr House and find that Jack-Jack has already beat him up. He basically says "Forget it. I'm going into hiding." Of course, this is to set up you beating him in a city hub "Crime Wave" later in the game (or earlier if you take care of all the hub stuff early), but still it's awkward to have him just walk off camera and that's it.

Gazerbeam doesn't die. Remember Gazerbeam? Bob found his corpse in a cave having carved out the word "Kronos" in the wall opposite? At the same point in the story of the game, Bob lands in the cave, finds a weird effigy, and Gazerbeam just... pops out from behind it. Hale and hearty and talkative, except for a bit of amnesia and weird behavior. He's there so Bob has a 2P going through the next mission, but still it's so weird because the elimination of Supers was so pivotal to Syndrome's plot. Oh, and once you complete that mission, Gazerbeam disappears. Syndrome captures Bob (as happened in the story), but Gazerbeam never reappears after his mission, nor is it ever alluded to what became of him.

Now granted these are LEGO games and I don't expect brutal death or massive attention to continuity, but characters have died in LEGO games in the past. LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Harry Potter, LEGO Lord of the Rings. I wonder why this game in particular (Disney?) is specifically against character death that happened in the original work.

Maybe it's the fact that LEGO Incredibles was done by Traveller's Tales B-Squad. We've got the A-Squad working on DC Super Villains coming out this October and all.

I didn't even know this existed

Yeah that. Probably as gruesome as the LEGO deaths got.

I don't think anyone has died in any of the LEGO Batman or Avengers games either.

does it have voice acting

True on Batman, but the games didn't follow the plot of any movie.

As for Marvel, the MSH games had no deaths, but Ultron was blown up at the end of LEGO Avengers.

Instead of getting riddled with bullets, Quicksilver gets riddled with ice cream, and Phil Coulson is shown to be quite alive after being "stabbed" by Loki, and Fury even hands him a "ticket to Tahiti".

Nobody dies in the Jurassic Park Lego games either.

I feel like Lego games are getting more and more finicky about showing character deaths in the newest games.

Jurassic World - they went out of their way every opportunity to show that characters weren't eaten in a "He's ok! See? He's still alive and making jokes!" kind of way. Quicksilver in Avengers followed the same route and etc.

And since then it seems like characters never die in Lego games anymore. I personally don't like this. I preferred the earlier games where they just made them comical instead.

LEGO Incredibles? Yes. They all have voice acting now. Most of the actors are soundalikes, though, although they do have the new Dash, Jason Lee as Syndrome, and Brad Bird as Edna Mode. Everyone else is a soundalike.
