Disagree with Tony being unnecesary, you clearly hate him just because you want Violet to fall in-line with the rest of her family (and the end result of that would make her a clone of Dash but more responsible), which you already have Dash for anyways, I hate the concept of Violet not having a love interest, it makes her too similar to Merida from Brave.

Without Tony Ryndinger, Violet would literally have no story arc in either film whatsover for her to follow (she wouldn't have become a Super or be focused enough as one if he wasn't around), she would be completely flat and unrelatable for the teens if she lacked a love interest.

I prefer Violet to have a love interest, it keeps her from becoming the flat member of her family like Dash currently is right now.

And regardless of how you think of Tony, the same result would have gone for Xander from the Incredibles comics if he was made canon or literally any other similar male or dare I say female interest for Violet, the same can be said of Bo Peep from the Toy Story films for Woody (and she too was just as flat as Tony is to your eyes and guess what, she's the main plot focus of Toy Story 4!)

And Tony can easily be fixed up (he has loads of story potential), Incredibles 2 at least gave him a small backstory which is what was needed for him anyways, who's to say he can't be the next hero like Winston Deavor at some point and do something amazing.
