We Can Be Heroes is a 2020 American superhero film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez, serving as a stand-alone sequel to The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Rodriguez was also cinematographer and editor of the film, which stars Priyanka Chopra, Pedro Pascal, YaYa Gosselin, Boyd Holbrook, Sung Kang, Taylor Dooley, and Christian Slater.When Earth falls victim to an Alien Invasion, the telekinetic, sword-slinging superhero Marcus Moreno (Pascal) comes out of retirement to lead his former teammates, the Heroics, in battle. Unexpectedly, the Heroics wind up being handily defeated and captured by the aliens. In retaliation, Marcus' non-superpowered daughter, Missy (Gosselin), rallies all of the Heroics' children in an effort to free their parents.The movie was released on December 25, 2020, by Netflix. The following month, Rodriguez announced that Netflix greenlit a sequel.Previews: Teaser, Trailer | |

Batman Can Breathe in Space: Miracle Guy can breathe in space just fine, even carrying on a shouted conversation with Tech-No while the latter is still in Earth's atmosphere. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| We Can Be Heroes (2020) / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: There are some fun little details hidden throughout the film. While scrolling through Ojo's drawing, one depicts Ojo as having tentacles growing from her back. Missy sees this and deduces that she must be an alien spy. Lavagirl's wedding ring can be seen in the scene where she stops Sharkboy and Miracle Guy from fighting. On Missy's Heroics-themed clock, the Miracle Guy figurine is humorously shown letting the other 'heroes' all do the heavy lifting. Underneath Missy's alarm clock are the two Sharkboy & Lavagirl novels. One wonders if this world's version of Max is an author... | |

Powers sometimes seem to skip a generation too. Missy has no powers despite her dad's telekinesis, while Superpower Lottery winner Wild Card is the son of Tech-No, the Heroics' Gadgeteer Genius who otherwise doesn't seem to have any powers at all. Miss Granada doesn't have any powers, and yet Ojo can predict the future. Subverted, as it turns out both of them are aliens and have the same abilities, though Ojo can make improbably accurate predictions of the future nonetheless. | |

The Reveal | |

The Reveal: Several in relatively quick succession: Both President Anami and Ms. Granada are members of the alien armada. Ojo is the Supreme Commander of the aliens and has been quietly observing the kids since the invasion. Finally, the invasion isn't really an invasion. It's a training exercise to prepare the children of the Heroics to take over for their parents. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| We Can Be Heroes (2020) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When the kids overhear President Anami on the alien ship, he mentions that the Supreme Commander already knows the outcome of the invasion. This hints that Ojo, who can see the future, is the Supreme Commander. Wheels notes that everything on the ship seems to be designed for children. He's half-right; the ship was designed by children, because the aliens are from a planet where children are in charge. The name of the alien's planet, Ogima, is backwards for "amigo", Spanish for "friend", hinting early on that the aliens aren't evil after all and are just trying to help. When Wild Card goes off on his own, we see him try to activate his powers to break through doors to absolutely no effect. Since Wild Card's problem is that he keeps activating the wrong power, not that he can't activate any at all, this is an early hint that we're really seeing Facemaker posing as Wild Card. | |

Undercover When Alone: Even when alone with each other, the Heroics and their staff act as if the alien invasion is the real deal, presumably in case the kids are listening in on them. | |

Those Were Only Their Scouts: When Mrs. Granada sees a small number of aliens on the radar, she thinks the problem is manageable. However, Marcus Moreno then points out that those are only scouts, and expands the scope of the radar, showing that there are many, many more aliens coming. | |

Wonder Twin Powers | |
| We Can Be Heroes (2020) / int_d45cbb16 | comment |
Wonder Twin Powers: Rewind and Fast Forward's Time Master powers are shown to function like this once they learn to work together: each can enhance the other's powers. When Fast Forward enhances Rewind, he can retroactively alter events as they occur; when he does the same for her, she can focus her powers to only speed up one person instead of everyone around her, granting them functional Super-Speed. | |

Red Herring: At first, it seems that Ms. Granada is the Supreme Commander, with some Five-Second Foreshadowing of the aliens referring to their leader as a "she" and Ms. Granada somehow showing up on the ship right after the kids overhear this to supposedly congratulate them, and then Ojo revealing that Granada is an alien spy. Then the climax reveals she was only The Heavy -— Ojo is the alien leader. | |

Superpowerful Genetics | |
| We Can Be Heroes (2020) / int_dc2c2968 | comment |
Superpowerful Genetics: Played With all over the place, with some examples played straight, others averted, and some that are in-between. To wit: A Cappella plays it fully straight, having the same sound-based powers as her mother Ms. Vox. Guppy is the daughter of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, with resulting abilities that are something of an add-together-and-divide-by-two of their respective power sets: she has Sharkboy's Super-Strength and strong teeth, but not his other animalistic features, and instead of Lavagirl's fire-based abilities, has control over water instead. Wheels has Super-Strength like his dad Miracle Guy; unlike the dad, his body isn't adapted to handle the increased power, leaving him functionally paralyzed from the waist down. He also has Super-Intelligence, which doesn't seem to be a part of Miracle Guy's Flying Brick package. Slo-Mo seems to have an inverted version of his father Blinding Fast's Super-Speed, being stuck in a constant state of slow motion. It's later implied that his powers are actually a form of weaponized Toon Physics that he hasn't fully learned to control yet, enabling him to perform feats like dropping huge distances without harm and throwing around grown men like toys. A number of the kids have powers completely unrelated to their parents'; for example, Noodles is a Rubber Man, while his mother Invisi-Girl does Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Powers sometimes seem to skip a generation too. Missy has no powers despite her dad's telekinesis, while Superpower Lottery winner Wild Card is the son of Tech-No, the Heroics' Gadgeteer Genius who otherwise doesn't seem to have any powers at all. Miss Granada doesn't have any powers, and yet Ojo can predict the future. Subverted, as it turns out both of them are aliens and have the same abilities, though Ojo can make improbably accurate predictions of the future nonetheless. | |
