Everything GREAT About Megamind!

Thank you :') And dw about it i will never stop commenting on one if not my favourite YouTube channel ever

Missed win: In the rain scene, Megamind tells Roxanne that he can explain what happened and, at the same time, one of the posters from before appears in the background, saying "No, you can't"

“Um, minion? Fire?” “It’s still warming up sir.” “Come again?” “Warming up.” “WARMING UP? THE SUN IS WARMING UP?!”

I'd add another win: genuine consequence when Roxanne first learns the truth. She doesn't magically get over it because he's come clean or learned his lesson. Megamind accepts that outcome and walks away; he HAS grown as a person, enough to realize he's not owed anything. A wonderful contrast to Titan's entire "nice guy™" mentality of expecting instant adoration without even caring about Roxanne as a person. Like, seriously, Megamind stole an entire city (and Bernard), but when the woman he likes says "no," he respects it and leaves her be.

13:11 Yes, Megamind did cost more than Despicable Me 1, but the quality of the animation and attention to detail was one of the best at that time. Megamind still looks beautiful to this day, and Minion is one of the most impressive animated movie characters when it comes to beautiful animations. The animation/movement of Minion's head is always independent from his body, and the animation in general is on par with some of the most expensive animated movies from that era.

also, the whole "nice guy" thing with Hal was waay ahead of it's time. I mean, I'm sure guys like that have been around for forever, but it's only been pretty recently on the internet that they've been given a more specific label and stuff. his character is just so interesting to me, and a perfect subversion of the whole "oh this poor nerdy dude isn't getting the girl even tho he's super nice and the only reason she's not attracted to him is because he's not hot boohoo" thing

"Minion's a way better Minion than the Minions" Truth.

There's so many fun small details in this movie. Some of the ones not mentioned here that I noticed: - When Megamind goes to school for the first time you see him give a little smile; and then when he's leaving school and Metroman flies away with the schoolhouse, you see his face drop as he's being carted back to prison, losing his school privileges. He really wanted to fit in and that was the first moment he felt truly rejected. - His binkie is consistently used as part of his inventions; the tricycle laser, the popcorn laser, the dodgeball force field, even the dehydration gun... - After Roxanne is kidnapped and it cuts to Hal and the news van, behind the van you can see some people on the ground and some tipped objects, implying the balloon guy wasn't the only victim from the invisible car lmao - When Metroman is heading to the observatory, you can SEE the fake observatory in the background on the right for a few moments! - When Megamind is watching Roxanne's "city without a hero" broadcast, he looks out the window. In the distance you can see her and Hal and the news van at the base of the Metroman statue. - In Roxanne's inspirational speech about heroes, the first thing she mentions is bravery. When Hal is talking about the ninjas he totally fought, Megamind's first remark is "A brave one isn't he?" It comes across as sarcastic but in reality he's being genuine and already picturing what a "good fit" Hal is for the hero transformation. - In Hal's apartment, Megamind's cape collar gets displaced by the TV set because the apartment is just too small for it. - Metroman's love of music doesn't come from nowhere; in the opening school montage, he plays guitar in front of the class. - And last but not least, you can see the disguise watch on Metroman's wrist when he "returns," if you didn't just guess the twist, then it was possible to figure it out if you watched closely enough! This movie is incredibly solid and just plain old fun, the character chemistry is great, the continuity is nearly flawless, the messages and ideas presented are great food for thought, ugh. It's a shame more people don't like this movie- though it seems to be making a resurgence recently. The only complaint I have is, what were Megamind and Metroman's names BEFORE they started their hero/villain arcs? Like, they didn't pick those names until their battles became regular occurrences in their adulthood; sooo what did the prisoners name Megamind as a baby? What name did Metroman's parents give him?

“OH I’m shaking in my custom baby seal leather boots” I love that line I laughed for 20 straight minutes

the whole "you're a villain, just not a super one" 'what's the difference?' the beats of welcome to the jungle building up " P R E S E N T A T I O N " best movie moment ever change my mind

Megamind: "Ah! Get back you savages!" Roxanne: "Sorry! Sorry! He's not used to positive feedback" Those two lines pretty much sums up the entire movie

10:35 I also love how his line, "my death was... greatly exaggerated" is a double entendre here. It's a subtle clue that it's Megamind, not Metro Man, due to the butchering of the phrase, but it's also correct in that Metro Man's "death" was literally greatly exaggerated theater. It's such good writing I love it.

This is one of my favorite movies and it’s kinda under rated. When Megamind says “oh nothing I was just yelling at my mother’s urn..” classic!

I love how Megamind pronounces each and every words in his own unique ways.

11:19 I love the settings on his gun. De - ath Ray De - stroy De - hydration De - compress

Also another awesome scene: When Roxanne is walking away from Megamind right after she learned that he was not Hal, he says the line “I can explain” well if you look at the wall behind him one of his posters is there, saying “no you can’t.” I think that was nice touch to the movie!

5 years ago: “a movie that should deserve a sequel” 2024; nEVERMIND

I don't know if this was pointed out, but one thing I love about Megamind's character is that he mispronounces certain words. This indicates that he learned these words via reading books rather than through conversations with people, which makes perfect sense for Megamind with his book smarts and loner status growing up.

I swear Megamind is the most passive aggressive villain ever. I mean, he is the kind of guy that would hold the whole world hostage given only the chance, but at the same time will stop at every traffic light and pay his taxes.

One of the key differences between Megamind and Titan was the fact that one of them was doing it just because he was playing his role, and the other was doing it out of purely malicious intent. Megamind simply grew up believing he had to be the villain, and so he had fun with it. He messed around, came up with schemes to defeat his rival, and when one finally worked he couldn't actually believe it because why would it have worked? None of his plans worked in the past. And despite all the dangerous traps he shows Roxanne, she was never afraid of them because she knew he wouldn't actually hurt her. Meanwhile, Titan comes in and kidnaps Roxanne, and she's immediately terrified. This was someone new, an unknown, and it was scary for her. Then she finds out it was someone she considered to be a friend, or at least an acquaintance, and he was acting insane. Titan was genuinly terrifying to her because she could tell that if he didn't get his way, her life would be in danger. This is why Titan was the villain, he was the one with horrible intentions, and Megamind was the super villain, as super villains are known to be flashy, they're known for getting caught and then escaping, elaborate schemes that don't really go anywhere in the long run, etc. They did such an amazing job of portraying this as well. Megamind is truly a cinematic masterpiece.
