Should be called Incredibles 2: Dad Gets Cucked

Mom is out saving the world and dad gets stuck home being a whipped babysitter.

Feminist agenda wins again.

Feminists claim men can run a household just as well as a woman. Why would the feminist agenda back this movie? If anything, the film is more anti-feminist showing Bob not being able to run the house as smoothly as Helen (a woman). Feminist movement is pretty much against that stereotype. So what the hell are you and others talking about?

I would say more along the lines of "Incredibles II: It Her Turn"

Why?

Well this time she gets to go out and be the hero while he stays home

She gets hired to save the world by using her powers

She unknowingly is actually working for the antagonist

My spoiler tag did not work :(

How? It isn't like this concept is new, there's movies and songs from the 80's/90's with the 'LOL stay at home dad' theme.

Chill.

As opposed to dad saving the world and mom being stuck at home as a "babysitter"?

Why is traditional gender role reversal always viewed as feminist by the right? A dad being at home with his own kids is not babysitting; it is parenting.

This film shows what it is to be a parent with both regular parental problems and problems with having superhero kids. It is Mr. Mom meets Jack Jack Attack.

Why do you assume gender role reversal is viewed as "feminist" only by the right?

Mom is out saving the world and dad gets stuck home being a whipped babysitter.

Having dad stay home to watch the kids as a role reversal is a time-tested plot device that dates back to early films. Mr. Mom (1983) based it's entire plot on that very premise and no one thought it was "feminist".

Mr. Incredible has been portrayed as a dull-witted meathead from the very beginning, just like every dad you see on every television sitcom for the last few decades. Now they've made him a stay-at-home meathead dad, even if a big ol' lovable lug, but the standard insult to dads/men in these films dates back to 2004.

It goes back much further than that. Some sitcoms from the 60s has the husband as a big ol' bumbling lug.
