2 good questions never answered


1) When Will was looking at the yearbook before the home coming why did he suddenly relies that that was Grin.

2) if Gwin was turned into a baby wouldn't this mean that she would forget everything. Cause babys don't remember alot of stuff

Still very good movie!

1. As I recall he saw a picture of Gwen holding the pacifier in the yearbook. That's what made him realize something was wrong and he looked over to where the pacifier was supposed to be and it was gone. He still didn't think that the girl in the yearbook was Gwen, he thought Gwen was her daughter.

2. Who knows how much information the brain would retain if someone was turned into a baby. Plus the guy who raised her would fill in a lot of information.

what i don't understand: earlier they were sitting on the sofa, and they didn't recognize her. but later the penny drops when he looks at the same photo.

This reply is super late, but oh well.

When they were all sitting on the sofa and looking over the yearbook, they were under the impression that she was Sue's (I think that's her name in the movie)daughter. They don't realize that Sue Tenny and Gwen Grayson are the same person. They just thought that they resembled each other.

And then, when Will was looking through the yearbook later on, he came to a page where Sue/Gwen is holding the Pacifier. He remembers that his parents have the Pacifier in their Secret Sanctum, or whatever it was called. So when he realizes the Pacifier is missing, he thinks that Gwen took it to destroy his parents. He doesn't realize at the time that Gwen and Sue are the same people.

Take off that vest. You look like Aladdin.

When they (Will, Gwen, and his parents) were sitting on the sofa looking at the yearbook they were NOT under the impression that she was Sue Tenny's daughter. If they had been under that impression, they would not have insulted Sue Tenny ("she was a weird one") in front of the person they thought was her daughter. Neither Will nor his parents realized Gwen had any connection whatsoever with Sue Tenny until the homecoming dance.

To answer the previous questions:

1) Will was simply flipping through the book again when he saw Sue Tenny's picture and realized she looked an awful lot like Gwen. Suspicious, he flipped to the "Science Club" section to see if she was part of it - and found her holding the pacifier. (He checked the science section because Gwen's power has to do with technology and science, and as many of the kids inherent the same or similar powers from their parents, he figured Sue Tenny would have a technology-related power as well... and thus possibly be in the science club.)

2) Stitches raised her and thus would have likely told her everything that had transpired. But even then, there is the possibility that she would remember even as a baby - Medulla was a baby and could talk and remember everything perfectly. However, that could be attributed to his power. So it's really up for debate.

I think it's supposed to be an in-joke to how superheroes use glasses as a disguise. They point it out with Will's parents in the beginning. As Sue, she always had glasses, but as Gwen, she didn't and was more groomed. Some reason, Will is the only one to actually take a good look at her.

And yeah, maybe she remembers because she has "mental" powers.

reply

2. I think it's possible that she only changed into a baby physically and that her brain stayed the same age--Mr. Medula retained his mental abilities and was able to reconficure the pacifier to change everyone back.

I was figuring she slowly ragained her memories with age. When she was talking to the baby Commander, she said, "And you don't even know what I'm saying!," which implied that he was a baby mentally as well as physically. Medulla could talk and so forth, but he seemed to have a kind of "super" brain or something.

I wonder how much she did remember. She did make a big deal about going through puberty twice.

reply

Probably she DOES remember puberty. Everybody does
