Talk:Edna Mode

Edna and Jack-Jack post-movie
In the movie, Edna said that she didn't know Jack-Jack's powers, so she covered the basics of Jack-Jack's jumpsuit. Now that Jack-Jack's powers have emerged, however, I honestly believe that E will have to a great deal more effort into a new jumpsuit for Jack-Jack than she realizes. Don't you?

A la Mode? (!)
I doubt that it's a play on "a la mode" because that has nothing to do with fashion. I can see it being reference to Edith (E) and then Mode because in French Mode = Fashion...hence Depeche Mode, or Fast-Fashion. Since many designers are French or live in France, it only makes sense that Mode would be reference to Fashion in French and _not_ "à la mode." Bo-Lingua

 * When I saw the film I assumed that name Mode was a statistics pun along the lines of Robert Parr UUPhillips 01:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

-What does a la mode mean?? Dustin ॐ 04:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)


 * It can mean several things in English, including ordering a scoop of vanilla ice cream with your brownie. AnonMoos 09:28, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Retired?
She retired from "super work", but not from ordinary fashion design for non-super clients. AnonMoos 20:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Middle name
An IP editor added the middle name "marie," but I have not been able to locate any source indicating she was given a middle name in the film. Any thoughts or clarifications? --TeaDrinker 21:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


 * No one's objected. I'm cutting it.--- It doesn&#39;t stick. (talk) 04:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Inspiration Linda Hunt?
Linda Hunt in her role as in Regina Krumm in Prêt-à-Porter looked very much like Edna Mode - and Brad Bird even mentioned this - can't we add it? Peter S. 13:00, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Edith head
Now I thought this character was a what Edith Head would be if she were represented in this venu, too bad she is no longer around as she might have been a hoot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.65.51.222 (talk) 01:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I would also like to suggest someone do a stub on one of the other peripheral heroes. How about it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.65.51.222 (talk) 01:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Bubbles DeVere
Let's be honest here. There's no way she could ever be based on the Little Britain character. Even if the director was stupid enough to base his fashionable character on some ridiculous sketch, Bubbles was introduced after the movie. I'm taking it out. 80.42.154.253 (talk) 01:28, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Retirement or "retirement"?
"Edna is called out of a fifteen-year period of imposed retirement" - It seems to me pretty obvious in the film that Edna's "retirement" is only "the official line" and that in fact her superhero-related work has continued, though secretively and on a lower level. -- 201.37.230.43 (talk) 13:37, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Why does Edna have a Wikipedia article over Mr. Incredible?
He's the main character. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 19:12, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * It all comes down to who is willing to take the time to write a cohesive, well-written article about any of the film's characters, proving their real-world impact; Edna has just always came off as more interesting to me than Mr. Incredible (similar to Violet, a character I had to vouch for to have her own article.).--Changedforbetter (talk) 06:44, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
