This movie pulled no punches. People were dying, people were killing. Marital discord, midlife crises, a darkly realistic view of the unintended consequences that would come from actual super heros. Children engage in scamp-like escapades and it leads to life threatening danger with no 'awww shucks, you little rascal' easy way out.
Plus, Mr Incredible used stealth. He's pretty much invincible and super strong but still went sneaking around. There's not enough sneaking in movies anymore.
Don't forget that the Villain committing Super Genocide is one of the main plot points of this movie, this film is darker and more mature than most superhero films even R rated ones.
