Sky High is a 2005 superhero film directed by Mike Mitchell and produced by Disney. Writing credits are shared by Paul Hernandez, Bob Schooley and Mark Mc Corkle.The story revolves around Will Stronghold, son of the world's two most famous superheroes, the superstrong Commander (Steve Stronghold) and the flight-based Jetstream (Josie Stronghold). He is about to start high school at the titular Sky High, a school exclusively for people with superpowers and his parents' alma mater. Between dealing with Girl Next Door Layla (plant controller), son-of-archnemesis Jerk with a Heart of Gold Warren Peace (fireball thrower) and the typical cliques of high school (being either a hero or "Hero Support"), Will must also face the embarrassing fact that, despite his pedigree, he does not seem to have any superpowers. At least not yet...It features a surprising number of high-level names, including Michael Angarano as Will Stronghold, Danielle Panabaker as Layla, Kurt Russell as The Commander/Steve Stronghold, Kelly Preston as Jetstream/Josie Stronghold, Lynda Carter as Principal Powers, Bruce Campbell as Coach Boomer, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Gwen Grayson. The film maintains a surprisingly sizable following, despite having generally fallen under the radar. This was also the first Disney-owned superhero movie scored by Michael Giacchino (The Incredibles doesn't count). None of his music was on the album released with the movie, but Intrada finally released his score in 2016.To the surprise of many, a sequel was announced to be in development in 2017, although nothing has been heard of it since.Not to be confused with the seinen manga by Tsutomu Takahashi. Or the silent film. Compare PS238 and My Hero Academia.

comment
Trailers Always Spoil: The trailer makes it seem like the main conflict of the movie is Will's lack of super powers. Then, approximately ten seconds later, it shows him with super strength and flight — at which point the viewer realizes there's probably more to this movie that they're not saying, and there goes the element of surprise.

comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The climactic homecoming event has a supervillain firing a (de-aging) gun into a crowd, taking out several adults (including teachers) before focusing on the panicking students who try to flee for their lives. It's not hard to see the similarity between Royal Pain's method and that of real-life mass murderers at schools.

Warren's school year is never stated in the film itself, and the supplementary materials disagree with each other on whether he's a freshman or a sophomore. Fans tend to assume sophomore, likely because he's not in the Power Placement scene with the other incoming freshmen.

Never Trust a Trailer: One of the Disney Channel bumpers for the film rearranges the dialogue for the Layla vs. Penny fight, With Layla responding to Penny's "I thought you were a sidekick!" line with "Big mistake!" In the film itself, she says "Big mistake!" as a Pre-Asskicking One-Liner before unleashing her powers. Her actual response to Penny's line is "I am a sidekick!"

Underestimating Badassery: Layla gets shunted into the sidekick track for refusing to participate in the Fantastic Caste System on principle. While the other Hero Support students really do have highly situational powers, the villains learn to their cost that she's actually seriously powerful. Stitches rolls his eyes when Ron Wilson, Bus Driver confronts him for using the school buses without permission. He goes down in one punch; just because Ron doesn't have powers doesn't mean he lacks fighting skills.

Villain Ball: Yes Gwen, don't use your weapon capable of neutralizing any opponent with a single blast in the final battle. Why turn someone into a helpless baby when you can kill them instead? Then again, why destroy what could be your chance to have an incredibly loyal force of supersoldiers at your command? However, if you think too hard about the plot, Gwen's whole desire for revenge starts to make less and less sense, given that she's got everything she wanted then. She had her hands on the ball the entire movie.

Good Is Not Nice: Gwen had Will wrapped around her little finger due to his crush. He tolerated her clique's anti-sidekick behavior for her sake, but she finds out the hard way that he has a hard limit. Will dumps her on the spot the instant he realizes that Gwen hurt Layla and cost Will her friendship. Gwen is actually the Big Bad.

Only Sane Man: Adults and students alike goes Deer in the Headlights in the climax when Royal Pain uses the Pacifier on Commander and Jetstream before fleeing in a blind panic, as the teachers try to protect the kids. Mr Boy is one of the exceptions as his sidekick training kicks in; he tosses his snacks, leaps into the air and catches a de-aged Josie before she can fall and seriously hurt herself. Warren of all people grabs the Smart Ball in the climax when Coach Boomer orders him to find or make an exit from the gym as Royal Pain starts her rampage. Rather than flee in a panic as most of the students are doing, he leads the sidekicks to an air vent and blasts it open.

Generation Xerox: The powers that Will gains come from both his parents; he gains his father's strength during the one-on-one battle with Peace, then he gets his mother's flight as he delivers the final blow to Gwen/Royal Pain.

Rude Hero, Nice Sidekick: All the "hero" kids were obnoxious stuck up Jerk Jocks. All the kids relegated to "sidekick" were fairly decent (until Will did kind of a Face–Heel Turn upon becoming a hero).

Uninvited to the Party: After Will becomes popular in the Hero Course and starts to abandon his friends from Hero Support, he throws a party at his house and forgets to invite his friends- specifically, his Childhood Friend and next-door neighbor Layla. She sees the party going on next door and walks inside to try and find Will, but she gets told by the Alpha Bitch that Will doesn't want her there. Humiliated and heartbroken, Layla goes home. This is the incident that starts to snap Will out of his Acquired Situational Narcissism.

Royal Pain serves as a meta-example. Her yearbook picture is Mary Elizabeth Winstead—who plays Gwen—in glasses and poorly done hair. Given that Gwen being Royal Pain is meant to be The Reveal, and Steve explicitly says that he "destroyed" Royal Pain, the movie seems to assume that the audience will not recognize Winstead in this picture. In fairness, the picture goes by pretty quick, leaving little time for comparison.

Even Evil Has Standards: After a particularly over-the-top moment from Stitches, Gwen gives a visible shudder and sneers "Lunatic." In the climax, she hands off a baby Commander to Stitches before fighting Will, showing she won't physically harm an infant. Coach Boomer gleefully picks on his students, but when the villains start actively harming them at the climax, he stays behind to give the main kids the chance to escape.

Jaded Washout: Coach Boomer. Steve Stronghold, outraged over the coach putting Will in Hero Support, rants about how Boomer "never made the big time" and now uses his position to pass judgment on other heroes' kids. He doesn't seem that far off in his assumption, as Boomer treats his students terribly throughout the film and arbitrarily labels them as "hero" or "sidekick" based on whether he thinks their powers are any good.

comment
No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: The Pacifier. Despite being built by Royal Pain, the whole Evil Plan rests on getting it back from the Strongholds. It seems Royal Pain just could not build another. Possibly justified by the original being a group design based on the picture of the Science Club. Also, she seems to have forgotten everything about her past life, while retaining her powers. She didn't know how to make it from scratch, and even if she did, she's a supervillain. She'd steal it just for poetic revenge. Also justified by the fact that she's a technopath rather than an actual genius. She can make stuff but might not really understand how it works. Reference the number of times Forge has created stuff and never been able to recreate or undo them again.

Does Not Know His Own Strength: Steve. The Commander's Super-Strength means that he sometimes has problems with household electronics when he gets upset. Luckily, he has extras. Shown again when he puts a pool stick straight through the cue ball when he's aggravated. And Will, after he gets his powers. Justified, since Will is less experienced than his father.

Batman Gambit
 Sky High (2005) / int_38d02d44
comment
Batman Gambit: A minor one in the beginning of the film. Will's parents defeat a giant robot terrorizing the city, and the Commander takes a part of the robot (its eye) as a trophy. That robot eye is still functioning and being used by Royal Pain (who sent the robot to attack the city in the first place) to secretly spy on the heroes. Royal Pain knew he would do just this ("His ego's bigger than a giant robot"), and the reporter says it's a habit of his.

comment
Actor Allusion: After they resisted it the entire film, the Principal's last line is, "I'm not Wonder Woman, you know." She's played by Lynda Carter. It is also a Casting Gag, since Carter's character in Sky High is the principal of the titular school, and her character in Wonder Woman is a superhero. As with Evil Dead, Bruce Campbell's character has a thing for the word "boom". Kurt Russell played a character with super strength in The Strongest Man in the World, which was also made by Disney.

Crapsaccharine World: The setting is a colorful and comedic comic-booky world full of superheroes... who are governed by a Fantastic Caste System that's drilled into their heads from at least their teenage years. There are also quite a few despicable super-criminals about, including at least one guy bad enough to earn four consecutive life sentences.

Powered Armor: What Royal Pain a.k.a. Sue Tenny/Gwen Grayson develops to fight on the same level as the Commander and Jetstream. It also seems to contain a Cranial Processing Unit, as it powers down once Will shatters Royal Pain's helmet. However, Fridge Logic: since Royal Pain WAS a Technopath, she could have been animating the armor with her powers.

Curb-Stomp Battle: Royal Pain versus Steve the second time. She just shoots him with the Pacifier to make him regress into being a baby. Then she follows it up by doing the same to Jetstream and most of the other supers at homecoming. Layla versus Penny, when one of Penny's clones slap her. They lampshade that they thought she was a sidekick. Stitches versus Ron Wilson, Bus Driver. Ron knocks him down with one punch.

Broken Aesop
 Sky High (2005) / int_401d4116
comment
Broken Aesop: According to Layla, Will allegedly breaks down the barriers between heroes and sidekicks by manifesting hero-worthy powers while still in Sidekick class... only to be informed mere seconds later that he's been promoted to the Hero track. The fact that he remains loyal to the "sidekicks" even after his transfer (aside from temporarily letting popularity go to his head) might mitigate things slightly. The fact that it was several "sidekicks" who helped save the day will presumably do more. The film's primary aesop is that it's wrong to judge or mock others for shallow reasons like their powers or their appearance. It then spends the entire runtime making the powerless, old, fat Mr. Boy look as pathetic as possible for laughs.

Paper-Thin Disguise: The Commander is wearing glasses and Steve Stronghold is not, as Layla points out, and his disguise is totally different from Superman. Averted with Royal Pain. The Commander is completely surprised when it turns out his archnemesis is a "girl," and the girl he had invited to dinner a few weeks ago. That's because Royal Pain's armor covers her body completely, and she uses a voice modulator.

As he sits morosely in the Secret Sanctum, paging through his dad's old yearbook, he notices two things in quick succession - first, a student who's a dead ringer for Gwen is pictured as the builder of the Pacifier weapon, and second, that the actual Pacifier is gone. Cue "Oh, Crap!".

Self-Disposing Villain: Sue Tenny, when the Pacifier blows up in her face. With a bit of Fridge Brilliance, Gwen also qualifies; she already had everything she wanted to begin with, and her willingness to throw all that away for Revenge is what causes her to lose in the end.

Challenging the Bully: Thanks to his newfound powers, Will's friends decide he'd be able to defeat bullies Speed and Lash in a game of Save The Citizen. Though he spends the conversation insisting he has no interest in competing with them, the challenge is made anyway, with the stakes being a year without bullying or his friend's head being dunked in the toilet every day.

Let's Get Dangerous!: Downplayed with Mr. Boy, who leaps into action to rescue a de-aged Josie. While it doesn't do much to save everyone else (and he soon goes down himself), it's impressive that he kept her from getting hurt and was fighting the beam with all he had. Hero Support has to pool their powers with Mr. Boy's teachings and clever strategies to take down Royal Pain and her posse. They conduct themselves beautifully, especially Layla and Ethan.

Super-Speed: Speed (obviously). Also seems to be a latent ability within every superhero and sidekick. Mr. Boy and the rest of the Hero Support class are able to change into their outfits in seconds, and during the climax, Stitches is able to change into his supervillain outfit while literally standing next to Steve and Josie. During a deleted scene, Josie performs an Instant Costume Change behind a tree.

Fantastic Racism: Replace Fantastic Racism with Fantastic Elitism, and the archetype still fits here. A very low-key one, but those in "Hero Support" are often looked down upon by those deemed hero worthy. It becomes a plot point later on, to say the least.

Enemy Mine: Lash and Speed force Will and Warren to team up during Save the Citizen. In a case of Nice Job Fixing It, Villain, not even Warren is petty enough to let his grudge against Will affect gameplay, and his Jerkass Has a Point moment is about Will focusing to win. Will then insists on saving Warren from Speed, who is suffocating him, and they win the game nonetheless. While Warren doesn't thank him, he drops most of his animosity towards Will, especially after talking to Layla. By the end of the movie, Will describes Warren as his best friend.

Old Superhero: Chronically unappreciated All-American Boy is the past-his-prime sidekick without the retired superhero. His assigned mentor, the Commander, is still operating at his peak, while All-American Boy is now teaching "hero support" classes in the titular hero school. However, he is far from decrepit and is still able to help the heroes. Boomer is also implied to have washed out of a formal superheroic career and takes his bitterness out on his students.

Jerkass Has a Point: During Save the Citizen, Will focuses when Warren tells him to keep his head in the game rather than let Gwen distract him. Later, Will silently agrees when Warren tells him that if Layla hates Will, then Will must have really screwed up. Played with in regards to Boomer's Hero-Sidekick sorting. On one hand, Boomer relegating those not fortunate enough to win the Superpower Lottery to Sidekick duty could be seen as Necessarily Evil, and why he's given that job. This is a school designed to create superheroes that have to go toe-to-toe with supervillains and city-wide threats: giant robots, huge monsters, evil geniuses armed with high-tech arsenals, and the like. Are they really supposed to rank the people who can punch through walls, fly, and run at Super-Speed with the girl who can turn into a guinea pig? They'd end up curbstomped by the first superpowered villain they fight, and most of the sidekicks would get their asses kicked by a Badass Normal. They do their part in the climax, but that's largely because they've got a Flying Brick, a pyromancer, and a Poison Ivy expy to handle the heavy-duty heroing and also because of multiple convenient coincidences that make them useful. On the other hand, Will's father Steve thinks Boomer deliberately washes some real heroes' kids out as a form of petty revenge for not making the "big time" (i.e. not having advanced beyond "gym teacher"); Will had to explain that in Will's case he really didn't have powers. At least at that time. Will's mother, Josie, is specifically mentioned as both able to fly and an expert martial artist. If Sky High trains the high-level heroes in martial arts, why not the lesser-powered heroes who could actually use those fighting skills to augment their abilities? Why are the high-level heroes the ones who get the advanced technology like rays, and the lesser-powered heroes are expected to fork weapons over in a combat situation? Because no one expects the "hero support" to do anything.

Meaningful Name: Warren Peace, the son of a hero and a villain. It's like "war and peace", GET IT? Coach Boomer. His superhero name used to be Sonic Boom, to boot. In what is almost certainly a parody of the Steven Ulysses Perhero trope, Steve's yearbook reveals that his real last name is Boomowski. Lash and Speed. Stronghold. His first name fits, too. Will, as in "William" but also as in "willpower." Principal POWERS. Professor Medulla. The Pacifier. "My dear Commander, who said anything about killing you?"

The Fettered: Layla will only use her powers when "a situation demands it," like comforting her best friend after a bad first day of school, rather than to show what she can do to the coach. This comes in handy when she has to fight Penny, who thus has no idea what Layla is capable of when she really cuts loose.

No, You Go First: Layla is going to confess to Will that she likes him, by asking him to the school dance.

So, Layla ends up telling him that she's going as well, with his archenemy.

Clark Kenting: Parodied with Steve and Josie Stronghold, who both wear thick glasses. While Steve accessorizes with vaguely 50s-style clothing, Josie just dresses like a normal mom. A normal Hot Librarian mom. Royal Pain serves as a meta-example. Her yearbook picture is Mary Elizabeth Winstead—who plays Gwen—in glasses and poorly done hair. Given that Gwen being Royal Pain is meant to be The Reveal, and Steve explicitly says that he "destroyed" Royal Pain, the movie seems to assume that the audience will not recognize Winstead in this picture. In fairness, the picture goes by pretty quick, leaving little time for comparison.

Idiot Ball: A very light case, with Steve. Josie gets one in the climax. She sees red when Royal Pain de-ages her husband and decides to charge head-on rather than using the homecoming decorations as an Improvised Weapon or any strategic maneuvering. She gets hit easily and turns into a baby, nearly falling to her death if not for Mr. Boy. Bigger one handed to the entire school near the climax. Over a hundred super heroes can't figure out a way out past barriers you'd see in a normal school hallway. None of them seem to even be trying to use any powers to aid the situation since the teachers are more concerned about saving the students (other than Warren, when he opened an Air-Vent Passageway), opting instead to grab the barrier and shake. Though, perhaps it's a case of Fridge Logic; you could argue that they are at a school for SUPERHEROES, and such emergency barriers would be designed to survive powered assault. However, that DOES bring the question of why they don't just try to break down the walls.

Covers Always Lie: The poster chose some... interesting positions to place the actors in relative to their characters' roles in the film. In particular, Layla is crammed into the back-right corner, and Warren is posed to look as menacing as possible. Subverted, though. Warren is the Red Herring and (while it's reaching) Gwen holds a gun similar in shape to her villainous weapon.

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Both Royal Pains, Sue and Gwen, but in particular the former - she had a genuinely amazing power, but nobody realized it in the 1970s, and she was placed on the Sidekick track and thoroughly bullied; it's all but outright stated that one of those bullies was the future Commander, later to be recognized as the greatest superhero in the world. It's not hard to see why she snapped. Gwen is less sympathetic, but it's doubtful she had the healthiest upbringing either, having been raised by her "mother's" Sycophantic Servant for the sole purpose of a seventeen-year revenge scheme that turns out to be All for Nothing.

Stating the Simple Solution: In one scene, Will and his friends discuss their Hero Support homework. One question concerns a radioactive zombie attacking their hero, with one option being to hand the hero a crossbow. Zach points out that in such a situation, the sidekick could simply use the crossbow themselves.

Deconstruction
 Sky High (2005) / int_8ae880f7
comment
Deconstructed with the Big Bad's background and motivations. Sue Tenny's powers as a technopath were considered the stuff of Sidekicks when she went to Sky High, and her resulting status as a nerdy outcast drove her down the path of evil. Speaking outside of the film for a moment, other fictional heroes such as Iron Man show that control of machines and having access to very powerful tech is a very useful thing. However, she WAS originally enrolled in SH in the 70's, and technology was nowhere near as advanced, effective or useful as it is now.

Didn't Think This Through: Warren tells Will in the climax to go after Gwen since he, Ethan and Layla can handle Penny, Lash and Speed. The latter immediately split up the former in the ensuing fight, not allowing them to work as a team. Having Will there would have turned the tides much sooner. When you stop and think about it, Gwen’s entire Evil Plan to turn heroes into babies and raise them as villains is this. Why? Because she herself still remembers her entire life from before her own Age Regression, meaning there's no reason the babified heroes wouldn’t have been the same way, making her plan to raise them as villains dead in the water.

Superpower Lottery
 Sky High (2005) / int_8fac4a3a
comment
On one hand, Boomer relegating those not fortunate enough to win the Superpower Lottery to Sidekick duty could be seen as Necessarily Evil, and why he's given that job. This is a school designed to create superheroes that have to go toe-to-toe with supervillains and city-wide threats: giant robots, huge monsters, evil geniuses armed with high-tech arsenals, and the like. Are they really supposed to rank the people who can punch through walls, fly, and run at Super-Speed with the girl who can turn into a guinea pig? They'd end up curbstomped by the first superpowered villain they fight, and most of the sidekicks would get their asses kicked by a Badass Normal. They do their part in the climax, but that's largely because they've got a Flying Brick, a pyromancer, and a Poison Ivy expy to handle the heavy-duty heroing and also because of multiple convenient coincidences that make them useful.

Fountain of Youth: The Pacifier's real purpose. It de-ages anyone who is unlucky enough to encounter its beam. Royal Pain got hit by it in her final fight with Will's parents, and she gets her revenge by turning it on them. Mr. Boy is the only one who resists it for a fairly long while, and he needs to be hit twice for it to take effect.

The film is fond of pointing out the more ridiculous tropes in both the superhero and high school drama genres, which it typically accomplishes by using them straight but to an over-the-top degree. For example, the Commander has an entire drawer full of identical phones for when he pushes the buttons too hard.note Clearly, he's not a Nokia user.

Adults and students alike goes Deer in the Headlights in the climax when Royal Pain uses the Pacifier on Commander and Jetstream before fleeing in a blind panic, as the teachers try to protect the kids. Mr Boy is one of the exceptions as his sidekick training kicks in; he tosses his snacks, leaps into the air and catches a de-aged Josie before she can fall and seriously hurt herself.

Riddle for the Ages: There are a good number of unresolved questions in the film, which may or may not have been answered in the never-made sequels. They include: What is Mr. Boy's power, how did he save Steve's life, and why does Steve seem to barely remember him in the present? Will we ever get to see Baron Battle? For that matter, what's the full story on the other villains Steve took trophies from? Did Gwen have genuine feelings for Will? If she did, is this heartwarming or incredibly squicky? Did Warren have genuine feelings for Layla? Perhaps most tantalizingly, was the Hero-Sidekick dichotomy abolished following the Royal Pain incident, or did it somehow manage to survive?

"Not So Different" Remark: Realizing how much the sidekicks are bullied, Will shows empathy for Royal Pain being bullied as a sidekick when apologizing to Gwen for what his dad did to "her mom". This goes out the window when Royal Pain admits that she didn't have a mother; she IS the original Sue Tenny.

This Is Not a Drill: Averted. In the climax, you would expect this trope would come into play and that all the heroes and students gathered in a gym would be ready for a real emergency. Nope. It turns out that if someone fires a gun into a crowd, even one that doesn't kill people, the actual adults left will focus on getting the students to safety and leave themselves open to fire while the students themselves regress to blind panic, meaning no one is prepared to handle a trigger-happy supervillain.

Greater-Scope Villain: The original Royal Pain, aka Sue Tenny, was the inventor of the Pacifier that is the lynchpin of the modern villains' scheme but was killed when the weapon malfunctioned during a fight with the Commander seventeen years prior. Or so it seemed.... Baron Battle, Warren's father, is an even eviler villain with a massive impact on the backstory. As he's presently serving a quadruple-life sentence with no chance of parole until his third life, we never actually get to see him.

Evil Counterpart
 Sky High (2005) / int_9b54d536
comment
Evil Counterpart: Gwen/Sue Tenny/Royal Pain is this to Layla. Gwen's technopathic abilities had been treated as a joke, and she was forced into a sidekick role, turning her into a villain. Layla herself has control over plants, but she doesn't show them off, nor does she turn her annoyance over the Sidekick/Hero rule into violence. Little bit of brilliance here, however. Sue was going to high school in the late 70s, when tech as she knew it was primitive compared to today's technology (even by evil genius standards). As such, she and the rest of the geeks were derided and humiliated. On the other hand, someone like Layla would have been a lot more welcomed in that era and most certainly would have had a lot more 'power' behind her abilities.

 Sky High (2005) / int_9bb494b8
comment
Absurdly Divided School: The titular school is divided between heroes and "hero support", also known as side-kicks, based solely on their powers at the time of enrollment. "Hero support" students are looked down on by pretty much everyone else, and outright bullied in most cases, in addition to their classroom being much smaller and poorly funded, and them not even having the privilege to choose their own hero names. The driving conflict of the film is the protagonist being sorted into Hero Support for not having a superpower.

Warren is thrown face first into a concrete overhang, falls, hits a table hard enough to splinter it to pieces, is thrown through a wall into a pillar hard enough to break it in half and then gets up (looking not the worse for wear, except for the debris all over him). He goes back for more. Surely, that boy is made of stronger stuff. Being Made of Iron is possibly a secondary power.

Traumatic Superpower Awakening: Super-strength and super-flight for Will. The former happens when Warren Peace threatens his friend, and the latter when Royal Pain tosses him out of the school. It's implied that this is how everyone gets their powers. Somewhat downplayed and more stretched out for Zach.

More Expendable Than You: The teachers are the first to go down in the fight with Royal Pain after she de-ages Steve and Josie. Mr. Boy risks his life to save "Josie" from a deadly fall after she's de-aged, Principal Powers' first concern is for the students, and Boomer focuses on telling everyone to make an exit.

Wouldn't Hurt a Child. Royal Pain is surprisingly gentle with the adults as infants, even while monologuing how she's going to raise them as a new generation of supervillains. She and Stitches even review the instructions of strapping them into baby seats safely. Heck, when Will begs her to put his infant father down, she actually complies before focusing her monologuing on him.

Time for Plan B: Will eventually reveals to his parents that his powers never awakened. As a result, he was shunted to "Hero Support". The Commander says it's possible that he is a late bloomer, but is forced to acknowledge that Will may remain powerless. He and Josie discuss what to do, and Josie vetoes tossing their son in toxic waste. They decide that they'll do all they can to support Will, and Commander realizes that real estate is still an option.

Rule of Funny: In the DVD Bonus Features, there's one question which Kevin McDonald (in his Medulla costume — large head and all) answers "Yes, I agree", and then he consents for the editors to use him saying that for anything they like. Throughout the documentary, they randomly cut to him saying "Yes, I agree" for virtually anything. It's hilarious.

One of the villains, believing their side has already won and that Layla's a wimp anyway, attacks her just to be petty. "Big. Mistake." Also counts as a Let's Get Dangerous! moment.

And I Must Scream: It's implied that the heroes turned into babies have their consciousness trapped while being only able to cry and flop around, except for Mr. Medulla who can still talk.

Adults Are Useless: Steve and Josie are the only competent heroes shown in work, but they are taken down in seconds by the villain in the finale. Anything worthwhile is done by adolescents (or Ron Wilson, Bus Driver). Even the villains are all young, sort of. (The only exception is Stitches, but he's controlled by Royal Pain anyway.)

Deliberate Values Dissonance: The whole motivation for Gwen: back when she first attended Sky High as Sue, her powers weren't fully understood and seen as useless, so she was labeled a science geek and made a sidekick (not to mention during that time period in comics, there weren't many technopaths). Nowadays, her powers are seen for the useful and versatile abilities they are.

Oh, Crap!: Will panics when he first crosses paths with Warren before their fight in the cafeteria. Then, Warren has one when Will's Super-Strength manifested itself and he is about to be Punched Across the Room. Will has another one when he realizes that Principal Powers is going to send him and Warren to the detention room. Lash and Speed when Will finally develops super-strength and confronts them about tripping him in the cafeteria. Will again has two in quick succession later on when he looks through his father's yearbook and notices that Sue Tenny looks exactly like Gwen, and that her Science Club picture in the yearbook has her holding the Pacifier. Then, he notices that the actual Pacifier (which his father had kept as a trophy in the Sanctum) is gone. Everyone at the Homecoming event gets a Mass "Oh, Crap!" when Gwen reveals herself as Royal Pain. The Commander recovers quickly, however, in favor of marveling that Royal Pain is a girl and mocking her for thinking a mere gun could kill him. Penny, when Layla is about to use her plant powers to interrogate her. "Big mistake," indeed. Royal Pain, when she realizes that Will can fly and is about to give her a beatdown. Stitches, when Ron Wilson forces him off his bus. The Timmermans, when they realize that Sky High is about to fall on them. Fortunately, they are saved, and their new home doesn't get destroyed.

Gwen and Layla, to each other. One's powers are derived from technology, the other's from nature. One is an overachiever, the other doesn't want to achieve in what she sees as a corrupt system. One's a senior, the other's a freshman. Finally, of course, they both like the same guy. They also both have serious axes to grind with Sky High's system, but while Layla resists nonviolently, Gwen has other ideas.

No OSHA Compliance: Inverted: the launch ramp for the Sky High school bus is marked with a number of signs so no ordinary driver goes near it.

Warren is the one who bluntly tells Will that if Layla hates him, then Will must have really screwed up. For Homecoming, Warren also shows up in a tux despite promising not to rent one.

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Shown in comic book form during the credits, the most awesome of which is Ron Wilson, Bus Driver, who falls into a vat of radioactive waste, grows to a colossal size and gets a new job — fighting giant monsters that attack the city!

Love Triangle: Gwen <-> Will <-> Layla. Becomes a quadrangle with one open end if Warren is included, though it's never made clear how genuine his feelings for Layla were; this would apparently have been explored in one of the never-made sequels.

Color-Coded Characters
 Sky High (2005) / int_bb660963
comment
Color-Coded Characters: There's a prevalent theme in pairing up characters with complementary color themes. Specifically, Will wears almost exclusively red, white and blue, plant girl Layla wears green, and human glow stick Zach wears neon and white. Justified, in that you would want to play up your powers to impress your classmates. Besides, if your parents are superheroes with similar powers, similar colors would be included in their costumes. Because they like those colors, you would be exposed to them throughout your childhood. More generally, each of the seven main teen characters corresponds to a color of the rainbow: Warren for red, Ethan for orange, Zach for yellow, Layla for green, Will for blue, Magenta for, well, magenta (okay, it's purplish-magenta), and Gwen for violet.

 Sky High (2005) / int_bd620d3c
comment
In Love with the Mark: There are scant but definitely existent hints that Gwen's feelings for Will might be becoming real, though it's not elaborated on much. She looks genuinely concerned for him on occasion, most notably when he's being beaten up by the bullies at Save the Citizen, and her angry reaction when Will breaks up with her indicates she actually intended on continuing the relationship even after getting the Pacifier - though precisely what her endgame for him was is completely unexplored.

Hold the Line: During Save the Citizen, Warren shouts at Will to get the citizen dummy as he distracts Speed. Before, Speed was blocking anyone from approaching the Death Trap. Will nearly does go for the dummy until he sees Speed suffocating Warren. He switches gears and saves Warren before tossing him to grab the dummy seconds before it's mulched.

New Powers as the Plot Demands
 Sky High (2005) / int_c26e2b1
comment
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Will is tossed out a window... and discovers he can fly. This is foreshadowed (albeit subtly) when he's had his First Kiss with Gwen: he shoots out his arm in a triumphant punch like Superman and flies along the street, grabbing a post and swinging on it to slow himself. He probably thought it was just his Super-Strength which elevated him. Maybe he was too ecstatic to really notice (he's a teenager), or perhaps he took note but just managed to master it until he needed to use it. It must be remembered that his mother's power is flight, and so it's not implausible to inherit abilities from both his parents. Lampshaded when Will reveals he can fly, including Royal Pain's reaction as well, shortly before Will kicks ass.

You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Principal Powers tells Will and Warren this when putting them in detention. She says neither of them have to be what people say they are, whether it's living up to a hero's legacy or living down a villain's one, and they can make a different choice than what their parents expect. While Warren doesn't listen at the time, much later he clearly makes a choice to be on the hero's side when fighting Lash and Speed.

Shout-Out
 Sky High (2005) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Gwen Grayson's name may be a reference to prominent comic book characters Gwen Stacy and Dick Grayson. It is also a reference to the tendency for comic book characters to have alliterative names. Will has a poster in his room of fellow superhero team The Aquabats!. While teaching "English for Hero Support", Mr. Boy wrote on the blackboard Holy (blank), (blank)man. The name of the Secret Sanctum is almost certainly a reference to the Sanctum Sanctorum. During Save the Citizen midway through the movie, Speed runs around Warren fast enough to lower the air pressure around him, just like The Flash did during a Silver Age battle with an alien. See Nurse Spex's line at the top of the page. Possibly unintentional, but Will and Warren are able to win "Save the Citizen" by using a Fastball Special Mr. Boy's given name is Johnathan. Some fans believe Layla Williams may be named for Laurey Williams, the lead female character in Oklahoma!, both due to the similarity in their names and the fact that it's mentioned that the future Commander and the future Baron Battle competed over the lead male role of Curly, Laurey's love interest, when they were in school - reflecting Layla's own romantic prospects in the two men's sons. Steve mentioned a Hawaiian villain called King Kamehamayhem, a reference to the historical Hawaiian ruler King Kamehameha.

Magic Pants: Seems to be the case with most of the super-powered individuals. When Ethan melts, so do his clothes. When Magenta shapeshifts, her clothes seem to just meld into her guinea pig form's fur and are back on her when she returns to human form. The weirdest would probably be an unnamed shapeshifting boy who is somehow able to manipulate the clothing he's wearing, as well as his body. This is probably for the best, seeing as they're all supposed to be high school students.

Series Continuity Error: When Steve is on the phone with his customer Mr. Timmerman at the beginning of the film, the latter's first name is stated to be "Burt." However, when he physically shows up at the end, it's suddenly "Chester." Warren's school year is never stated in the film itself, and the supplementary materials disagree with each other on whether he's a freshman or a sophomore. Fans tend to assume sophomore, likely because he's not in the Power Placement scene with the other incoming freshmen.

comment
Ascended Fridge Horror: In the final battle, Will is trying to talk down the Big Bad, only to get distracted on learning his ex-girlfriend is actually a de-aged supervillain rather than the daughter of one. He stops and says "I made out with an old lady." This gives Royal Pain the opening and motivation to start thrashing him.

Letting Her Hair Down
 Sky High (2005) / int_ccfc0535
comment
Letting Her Hair Down: Inverted. Gwen for most of the movie has her hair in stylish, relaxed waves as she attempts to hide her cattiness. When she reveals herself as Royal Pain, her hair is tied up in a sensible bun so that it can fit under her helmet. It gives her a sterner look and reveals to Will and the audience that she is definitely a No-Nonsense Nemesis and supervillain to boot.

Dangerous Device Disposal Debacle: The Stronghold family defeated Royal Pain and took the villain's weapon, the Pacifier, as a new addition to their ever-growing collection of trophies — even though they don't know what it does. Years later, Royal Pain plots to retrieve the Pacifier by stealing it back from the Strongholds. Royal Pain even uses their tendency to collect trophies by sending a giant robot with a big shiny part for them to take — which is actually a camera that lets her into the vault.

Sympathy for the Devil: Despite all that she did to him and Layla, Will is very sympathetic when he realizes his ex-girlfriend had something to do with Sue Tenny, assuming Sue was her mother. He listens to Gwen's speech about how Sue Tenny was shunted to the sidekick track and apologizes for his dad killing Sue in their final battle. The sympathy goes away when Gwen reveals she is a de-aged Sue Tenny, not the latter's daughter, and he appropriately squicks out on realizing "I made out with an old lady."

 Sky High (2005) / int_dd3272bb
comment
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Glowing, melting, and shapeshifting into a guinea pig are all seen as lame powers by Boomer. However, the kids prove just how awesome they can be in the climax and several could be easily be used for espionage and/or utility purposes. Deconstructed with the Big Bad's background and motivations. Sue Tenny's powers as a technopath were considered the stuff of Sidekicks when she went to Sky High, and her resulting status as a nerdy outcast drove her down the path of evil. Speaking outside of the film for a moment, other fictional heroes such as Iron Man show that control of machines and having access to very powerful tech is a very useful thing. However, she WAS originally enrolled in SH in the 70's, and technology was nowhere near as advanced, effective or useful as it is now.

Know When to Fold 'Em: The Sidekicks and Warren realize that they can't take on Royal Pain in a straight fight; some of the adults try, but they get shot with the Pacifier while shouting orders to each other. Instead, Warren follows Coach Boomer's instructions to make an exit and helps the sidekicks evacuate through the air vents. Royal Pain's lackeys, however are relatively easier pickings for them since Warren has fought Speed and Lash before. After Layla shows off her powers, Penny and her clones reveal that if they stay in the school everyone will die, since Royal Pain is going to blow it out of the sky. Penny may be a heartless henchwoman, but even she doesn't want to lose her life.

comment
Hate Sink: The Big Bad is undoubtedly evil, but they have a fairly understandable motive, and their Secret Identity is someone the audience may well have wanted to like. Speed and Lash, by contrast, are two bullying and borderline sociopathic Jerk Jocks who torment everyone they encounter (including teachers) for no reason whatsoever. They end up signing on with the aforementioned Big Bad at the end of the film, again seemingly for no reason other than amusement. Alpha Bitch Penny is just as meant to be hated as the two, to the point where she is also outed as villain whose malicious actions make you wish for her to die. Downplayed with Boomer. He's certainly the least sympathetic teacher, and the film invites you to hate him as the face of the Fantastic Caste System, but when the chips are down he does prove he has a more functional moral compass than Penny, Speed, and Lash since he tries to fight off the baddies while the trio join up with them. It helps that he's hilarious, as well.

Exact Words
 Sky High (2005) / int_e9e35e8f
comment
Exact Words: Layla will only use her powers if a situation demands it, and she doesn't like using them "for violence". A situation that demands it would be a supervillain smacking her in the face, and she wraps the latter in vines to incapacitate rather than hurt them. Warren says he won't rent a tux for Homecoming. He shows up wearing one that used to belong to his dad. Will orders Ron Wilson to get help if he's not back in thirty minutes from stopping Royal Pain in the climax. Ron listens, but then he notices someone hijacking the school buses. Since it was less than thirty minutes, Ron has no problem with leaving his bus and decking Stitches in the face before he can make off with de-aged students, teachers, and superheroes.

Jerkass: Speed and Lash, who even pick on teachers. The official website implies they're favorites of Boomer, which may be how they get away with it. The climax confirms them to be Jerk with a Heart of Jerk villains. Coach Boomer himself is a thoroughly unpleasant and bigoted teacher who is strongly implied to vent his frustrations with his own failed superhero career on his students. Those who can't do, teach, and those who can't teach, teach gym. That said, when Royal Pain starts turning everyone into babies, his first act is to tell Warren to get as many people as he can out while he tries to slow her down, so he does care in his own way.

Mundane Utility: Subverted when Warren offers to heat up Layla's now cold meal. She protests that they're not supposed to use their powers outside the school, but he explains he was just gonna put it in the microwave. Played straight for most of the movie, as most of the kids' power uses fall under this heading. Layla spruces up houseplants (and picks fruit off of trees), Gwen helps Will in mad science class, Zach illuminates a classroom when the power goes out, Speed and Lash bully kids and dominate gym class, etc. In fact, minutes after Warren's above protest, he lights a candle in the restaurant he works at with his powers. Among the staff, Nurse Spex uses X-Ray Vision to check students for broken bones, Principal Powers uses her ability to turn into a comet to teleport anywhere in the school, and Coach Boomer uses his voice to...sound intimidating.

Dumbass Has a Point: Curriculum example: it turns out that the sidekicks' decree to stay out of danger and not be a hero is legitimate when said sidekick's powers would make them The Millstone. Zach mocks it, but in the climax he and Magenta take it to heart when neither of their powers can stand up to Lash, Speed or Penny. Staying out of the way means that Warren only has to worry about himself and Ethan.

 Sky High (2005) / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: More so for Warren Peace than the others. He starts off as a loner because not even the snotty Hero track students want to be associated with him, due to his father being a giant criminal. Everyone assumes he's going to go evil as well, so he decides to play the part and attack Will when the latter accidentally trips on him. He starts mellowing out when Will insists on rescuing him from Speed during Save the Citizen; while he doesn't thank Will, he becomes nicer to Layla when she's stood up accidentally at the Paper Lantern and pulls out his dad's tux for the dance after finding out she's upset at Will. The villains failing to recruit him bites them in the climax when he helps the Sidekicks escape and stands up to them, fully cementing himself as a hero. Cue him being lauded as such, getting True Companions, and shedding his father's reputation.

 Sky High (2005) / int_fb3576b2
comment
The Dog Bites Back: Will gets attacked by Warren during their first encounter in the cafeteria. When Warren threatens his friends, however, Will takes him out with his newly-developed Super-Strength. After being victimized by Speed and Lash earlier in the movie, Ethan plays a major role in taking them out of commission during the climax.

You Killed My Father
 Sky High (2005) / int_fb6b207f
comment
You Killed My Father: Will believes that Gwen's mother was the original Royal Pain, who was seemingly killed in their last battle against the Commander, and that this is Gwen's motivation for revenge. He couldn't be more wrong; when he apologizes to Gwen on his father's behalf, she reveals she is Royal Pain and was de-aged by the Pacifier.

 Sky High (2005) / int_fbd285b7
comment
Comically Missing the Point: Will is more concerned about the fact that he made out with someone his parents' age rather than the fact said person turned out to be a notorious supervillain.

Beware the Nice Ones
 Sky High (2005) / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: Will. When Warren Peace threatens his friends, Will goes from defensive to offensive and discovers his super strength at the same time. He also dumps Gwen when the latter makes Layla cry, and he ends up being crucial in the fight against Royal Pain. Layla. She can weaponize plants, people. She just doesn't, usually, unless you strike the first blow. Then, all bets are off.

Evil Is Hammy: Gwen turns on the ham when she reveals herself as Royal Pain. It runs in the family - Stitches is over-the-top to such a degree he gives Gwen the creeps.

Brick Joke
 Sky High (2005) / int_fe0330fb
comment
Brick Joke: There's an exchange from the first day at school featuring a guy with laser vision executing Male Gaze in a very tangible fashion on a girl with ice powers, who immediately retaliates by freezing him solid. Blink and you'll miss it, but later on in the movie, the main kids admire her handiwork. Early on in the movie, it's mentioned that the only way for kids of superheroes that don't get powers to obtain powers of their own is to fall in a vat of toxic waste. This is mentioned again later. At the end of the movie, Ron Wilson, Bus Driver falls into a vat of toxic waste and does in fact get super powers. See "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue below. Early during the Homecoming party, Zach asks Magenta for a dance; she turns him down, and he says "Me neither". At the end, she asks him for a dance. He accepts, saying "Me too." Ron Wilson, Bus Driver fights a robot similar to the one Steve and Josie took down at the beginning. During "Save the Citizen", Medulla mentions there used to be a time they used real citizens. During the epilogue, Stitches is said to have become the "citizen" to be rescued and nobody wanted to save him, but Will admits he was joking about that.

Pet the Dog: It's part of the Evil Gloating, but Royal Pain wraps a baby Commander in her cape while she's monologuing to him rather than leaving him naked.
