- Megamind! It's been requested more times than I can count! And what better time than as Infinity War is released! Cus...superheroes! In other words I'm not taking advantage of the biggest movie release of all time in any way shape or form because I'm all out of MCU movies and hopefully this will reduce the number of spoilers. Shouldn't have said that. Only my fans read these though, right? And my fans are the nicest bunch around. Anyway, long description. Megamind is awesome, you should watch it. Here's everything right with Megamind!

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.
As a book worm I can relate
He reads books and pronounces wrong?!

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

Spongey444 SOOO TRUE!!!
Quality over quantity.
Except the minions are invincible
@@JacrepidYT but minion is actually good at his job and useful
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.
As someone who’s dealt with a Nice Guy…I’d say the representative of Hal is scarily accurate.
I can’t IMAGINE if the guy I knew had ACTUAL power over me.
I dated a Hal I still dread the possibility of running into them like 15 years later. What a creep.
Your point about Megamind respecting a No when he holds all the cards is great. It leaves you being like dude you are a villain but you have respect that a moral code and limits. Those things alone don't make you good but they do make you human and possibly redeemable. Titan has no limits and that makes him bad.
@@adarcus4053 It also reinforces the fact that Megamind only ended up in a life of villainy because by happenstance of landing in a prison, he was set on course to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, cast as a bad guy as a child by everyone around him to the point that he genuinely saw no way to succeed in life other than being the best at being bad. And once again, what had he done to be in that prison in the first place? Nothing, but be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And yet, as you said, he demonstrates just how much capacity he's always had for being good, something that he never lost.
What I'm saying is that this film says a *lot* about racism, the incarceral system and the school to prison pipeline without even trying.
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?
I plan on putting out a video soon, but Megamind's prison name was probably "Mega Mind" and Metro Man was probably "Wayne Scott" (from the original script, and in the credits you can see his parents were "Scott". It's not too much of a stretch to say that he might still have the Wayne Scott name).
Megamind likely didn't get a genuine name because he was in prison... He got a prison nickname. It's not like anyone adopted him, with a little bit of evidence for that in the movie and the comics.
I wouldn't even really say that's a complaint, more of a question. Still, nice details
now that i think about it, megamind is literally just some genius kid who wants to invent things but his inventions are just malfunctioning
@@Kris-rc5wo yes... that's how the movie starts...
@@Kris-rc5wo There's a benefit to losing - you get to learn from your mistakes
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.
Nickster w h e e z e
Haha! Yes. 😂🤣
@The Random Guy As long as I get my point across.
I kidnapped your favourite reporter, pls respond
I think the word you’re looking for is petty, rather than passive aggressive, but you did get your point across
“Um, minion? Fire?”
“It’s still warming up sir.”
“Come again?”
“Warming up.”
“WARMING UP? THE SUN IS WARMING UP?!”
That part had me laughing hysterically.
"One second more and-just a tippy tip, tip top more and we are ready in a few seconds"- Minion
okay but Megamind has a point there. like how is the fucking *sun* warming up when its already a ball of fire that could melt anything on earth instantly lmfao
@@dumbdogboy Asked the guy with a giant blue head.
@@dumbdogboy It might be that the satellite needs to convert the energy of the sun into something useful
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.
In my opinion megamind blows despicable me out of the water but that doesn't mean I think despicable me is bad
@@cyberwarrior5939 Both movies have their charms. Personally, I like the first two Despicable Me films (the other films are just cash grabs) but I agree that this was the better-made movie.
I absolutely LOVE the shots where the force of super-powers kick up dust or smash windows or whatever. They are so cool
@@cyberwarrior5939Same. Despicable Me is good, but Megamind is far better. Good luck changing my mind.
I do think that Megamind has become more beloved to a caring audience because it's one movie. Despicable Me is at, what, five movies in their universe now? Five or six. It's kind of become too much. Megamind, however, leaves us wanting more. People have demanded a sequel for years.
“OH I’m shaking in my custom baby seal leather boots” I love that line I laughed for 20 straight minutes
Dude, that one got me too. I love movies but I don’t normally laugh out loud at them, but that joke killed me.
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"
also the foreshadowing of MetroMan being MegaMind with saving Roxanne; he has his head down and his fist forward like he punched the bus, but it's cut in half because MegaMind doesn't have the durability or strength to take that bus head on!
@@boa_firebrand he didn't actually "punched" it, in the moment that the bus was turned apart you can see that space behind Roxanne and that was no one there yet... He probably turned that apart with Metroman "heat vision" (probably some fire gun that he used to replicate it), as you can see the bus was with fire around his midle cutted parts... Just then we can see Megamind's Metroman there, he probably just landed and got that badass superhero pose, but he didn't destroyed the bus with his "fist", that was while he was still flying.
@@petrowzz that is just a more verbose and less grammatical way of saying what I said except he clearly is making it look and note I said LOOK like he punched it away
@@boa_firebrand oh yeah, I thought you meant that it was Megamind because of that eletric saw glove he had on his fist after he turned back to his form like he used that to cut the bus
XD
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
Asbjørn Christensen the face that’s my profile

People: _get within close proximity of me_ *say praises of me*

@@DarkroeTech SAME
i laughed so hard when he said the line...
I would like this comment but...its current number is 911.
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.
Wait whats the phrase usually if it got butchered?
@@plumenommershpadoinkle7575 I've heard "Grossly exaggerated" before, but it means the same thing and I'm not sure it's common enough that saying "greatly" instead would be considered butchering the phrase
@@plumenommershpadoinkle7575 "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" BUT it gets even better...it's a quote falsely attributed to Mark Twain. He never actually said it (and he also has several famous quotes about being honest) so Megamind is misremembering a quote misattributed to a person who was really big on not lying.
I already responded to another response, but I extra love the fact that he's butchering a quote that was never real to begin with. The story about Mark Twain writing to a newspaper and saying it isn't true.
I also believe it’s a reference to the end of “v for Vandetta”
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!
Same with “You know the drill.” “OH NO, NOT THE DRILL!” 😂
And "Yes, that's what happens when water gets cold"
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
I take it you've seen ''Megamind is a cinematic masterpiece''
Nowadays it's used so much that it's gone backwards in relevance.
@@real10002 *Megamind is a Subversive Masterpiece
that creepy ugly and weird
Nice guys, Simps, Thots, Karens have been around since the beginning of mandkind. The internet just decided to give these traits a name.
I love how Megamind pronounces each and every words in his own unique ways.
It's like he created a new accent, props to the voice actor
ollo
spiaeder
metrocity, like "atrocity"
Metrosity
Something that doesn’t get talked about enough is how they make Metro Man and Titan FEEL powerful with the animations and sound effects. When Titan jumps off the top of the building around 7:07 you can see the glass on the top of the building shatter as he pushes off with his legs.
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.
the whole "you're a villain, just not a super one"
'what's the difference?'

It’s so dumb that Megamind was barely known until the memes yet everyone knew despicable me
They both have the same villain to hero concept
They both have minions
They both faced off another villain
But the thing is, gru didn’t even feel evil, he just felt like a grumpy guy who’s wife died and might litter on your yard

Gru just becomes a hero because they took the kids and he got vectored
But gru doesn’t have
*PRESENTASHAWN*
well, he had that thing about the giant tv and talking to his yellow shits about the moon. BUT Megamind's presentashawn beats that by a million.

Wait, does Gru have a wife before Lucy?
@@drandescancelled2825 no, at least not to my knowledge
And he doesn’t have the piranha gun , oh yeahhhhh
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!
i think you meant "when she learned he wasn't really bernard" not hal
but yea that was a super funny detail xD
Whoa😮😮🤯
"A well-thought-out film that deserves a sequel. Sadly I wouldn't hold my breath."
Well that didn't age well.
My thoughts exactly
Missed win:
Metro Man's new passion is music BECAUSE it's the one thing his powers can't help him with, therefore it's the one thing he actually has to work at to get better at.
Oh! I never thought about it! It makes sense; he is so perfect, but this is something he doesn't do really well. Wow.
@@MarzoAlive Yet Roxanne throws his Grammy lmao.
Feels weird lmao. But hey It took Megamind Months or maybe years to be the top since Metro Man literally has a beard and it's aging too. Guy probably takes months or years non stop to learn music.
Like people always say, the devil is in the details.
thate makes perfect sense since megamind had to work to become a hero
You can actually see him play the ukulele at the school for gifted kids. He had a passion for music even at a young age
he could use super speed to learn at light speed
Another interesting thing about Megamind and Metroman's dynamic is just how easily Megamind recreated his powers. They really were just playing around lol.
That was really cool too, definitely (I mean everything is really cool), Metroman's time acceleration powers letting him take his sweet time to work through a midlife crisis of "Do I really want to keep doing this when I'm as good as anyone can be already?" and then Megamind using his homeworld's technological understanding and principles to recreate Metroman's power through the use of DNA to create Titan but also pure tech itself to believably imitate Metroman himself, visuals and all. And as CinemaWins said, how Megamind knows Metroman so well he could imitate the diction and word choice with minimal effort, though not enough to avert saying Matrocity instead of Metro-City.
Did megamind attempt to dehydrate Titan? I feel like if that was successful it would have proved that they were playing around even more.
@@xgensean considering metro man can move fast enough to stop time? I doubt it could hit him, even if it did affect him
what i like the most is how metroman talks to megamind like he knows who he is. they're rivals, joker and batman type of relationship. so if they were on the same level of no longer being in this rivalry, they really know each other enough to be everyday friends since they've been at this for such a long time
Well metro man can move within the frozen time while titan couldn't so I believe " a fraction " is a better word
5 years ago: “a movie that should deserve a sequel”
2024; nEVERMIND
Deserves a good sequel
One of my favorite tiny details is that Megamind says "Time out!" repeatedly at Titan during their first fight, probably because whenever Megamind said that to Metroman he would actually stop or at least slow down as it was just a show for them. So, when things got real with Titan, he just subconsciously tried the "failsafe" he had with Metroman, and only got out the real failsafe when it became serious.
"You probably think I'm crazy"
"I'm not allowed to insult the guests directly"
I demand at least 5 retroactive wins for this joke
Also John Green after moving to a new town and changing his name to Bernard, bc that dead and emotionless personality is definitely what you'd see in a man who sold his soul for the power to cause great pain via writing
Especially because that line IS an indirect insult aimed at a guest. This script is just too damn smart.

This is a comment i saw once :
You want to know something?
Whenever MegaMind Kidnaps roxxane, she is just calm and just laughs it off.
Whenever Titan "takes her out on a flight" she is scared for her life.
It shows how she knows megamind is just playing around, while titan is genuinely a villain.
Its not because hes a villian, its due to the recklessness.
She knows Megamind wont hurt her. But Super Hal is a new thing, and shes getting flung around wildly. Of course shes scared.
She knows Megamind. They have done this so often that she can trust Megamind to not hurt her.
Hal just suddenly got superpowers and seemed reckless. If Hal had done this 200 more times she probably would have been a lot calmer not to mention angry.
Oh yeah. That makes sense. And also how Megamind’s Crimes he does is just robbing and vandalizing like stuff.
Since none of his crimes have ever been implied that he’s killed anyone
By kidnapping 3, you'll know that Megamind isn't Evil enough to actually HURT you.
Megamind’s overthinking includes having already thought of her safety.
“Oh my giant blue head!” This is possibly one of the funniest lines I’ve heard!

Neat detail: Titan’s suit is red, the opposite of Megamind’s blue, while Metro man’s is pure white and contrasted with Megamind’s black. The costumes themselves show the difference of the rivalries.
Oh! Oh!
This is smart!
Metroman vs Megamind is the design of their costume! It's something that you wear, something you can take off. While vs Titan, the red of his costume is a contrast of Megamind's skin color. You know, like his being.
Metroman and Megamind's rivalry was born of labels/status that were put upon them, like clothes; while with Titan, it's born of personal motive (also Titan chose to be a villain, so on his side it still sorta count as a label 🥺👍🏼🌟
.
Sidenote : Megamind picked the colour red for Titan... When he still believed that he's bad just because he should be since everyone thought so. He created a "hero" label (red) that goes against his being (blue)...

And there is no Megamind sequel.
Three things I love about each hero/villain's costumes: Titan/Tighten's collar has little points to it that create a little scarlet "V" right in the center. Metroman's "M" is monochrome (so the same V-shape doesn't really stand out) and plain, adding to the idea that he's going through the motions of being a superhero but isn't actually that into it. Megamind's costumes are overtly menacing, but his logo is stylized into a lighting bolt and rounded off - arguably the "friendliest" logo of the three.
Just noticed the detail at 6:13, where Roxanne's shifting her grasp on Hal constantly. Like she keeps going back and forth between "get away get away get away" and "shit shit shit I will literally fall to my death if I get away right now" and can't seem to choose which one to act on
I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Cool observation
That an amazing observation !!
oh yeah
I always loved the relationship between Megamind and Metro Man most. Sure, Metro Man was kind of an ass as a kid; show-off, arrogant, snobbish, but as adults they gain this relationship based on a mutual respect for showmanship and their own personal roles in the hero/villain dynamic. And I get the feeling that Metro Man always knew (and had faith) that Megamind would be an amazing hero. He probably knew that Megamind never intended any actual harm to the citizens of Metropolis, otherwise he never would have quite being a hero.
And Megamind's love for their hero/villain dynamic was adorable. Like an actor who os genuinely and completely in love with what he does.
you mean Metrocity, but yes I agree, even after Megamind becomes overlord he doesn't hurt or enslave anyone. Their dynamic was indeed adorable.
Metro Man straight up acknowledges that he always knew Megamind would make a great hero. In the scene where they reveal the Megamind statue, Metro Man goes "Way to go little buddy, I knew you had it in you"

I saw it as Metro Man finally having grown up and realized that he had partial culpability in what became of the two of them - that Metro Man helped do to Megamind what Metro Man feels the city did to him. Metro Man becoming Megamind's quiet supporter and giving Megamind the space and freedom to figure out and choose his own identity is a sign that this very egocentric bully has grown up and realized the error of his ways. He's still very selfish and flawed in the ways he goes about it, but then, the whole point of his stance is that he's realized he neither wants nor is truly suited to being the city's hero, and the way he goes about his "retirement" just proves that.
Another small detail that you missed is the architectural difference between museums statues.
Metro man holds his globe with two hands meaning he needs both hands to hold up the world ergo limiting his strength and the movie itself shows metro man has grown mentally weak over time.
While in the other hand Megamind holds up his globe with only one hand showing he is far stronger either mentally or physically.

Can confirm

I love how MetroMan, Megamind and Roxxane all have the chemistry where they are almost friends at this point. Like Mega and Metro do that back and forth dialogue thing cause it's fun and they both know he's gonna stop megamind and the game starts over
I know right, it's honestly really wholesome when you think about it, with the exception of the whole city destruction thing.

Something interesting I found is that in the start of the movie when metroman is doing the speech for the City he questions " who I'd be without you? " and his expressions says that he is questioning himself about what all his life has been, I find it an interesting foreshadowing.
HOW WAS THE MOVIE SO UNDERRATED BACK THEN?! It truly was ahead of it's time! I'm so glad that I grew up with this movie...Still one of my all time fav movies.
"Everything GREAT ABOUT MEGAMIND"
Me: it's existence...
Yes!
Yes
It was a great movie
@SharkTank No.
®Zyrone Chase you left out the heart.
I’m actually blown away they added a single pixel frame of MetroMan using his superspeed, that is actually just mindblowing to think that they planned that from the start
What is a pixel frame?
@@Avatarbee it is a frame from the moive that only lasts a second like when you open up chrome and it has somthing of for a second then it fully loads so if you blink you will miss it so in this case it's if you blink or not focused enough you won't see metroman behind megamind in the start
It's a good detail, but I don't think they necessarily planned it from the start, they could have added it later
@@NicaremE It probably was planned from the start. Since a lot of movie scripts are made and finalized before shooting or animating
dude every animated movie is planned from the start , unlike live action where actors can improvise sometimes
Im excited to see the video "Everything bad about megamind 2"
I think my favorite part of Megamind was how quickly they made you recognize how empty of a villain he was since had he no big plan behind what he wanted to do other than fight Metroman.
an extremely underrated movie
it’s probably one of favorite of all time
I AGREE
Sangled
Agreed
it shocks me that this movie is underrated. ITS SO F***** GOOD!!!!!!!!
Criminally, one might say.
"There is no easter bunny, there is no tothfairy, but most importantly there is no sins in megamind"

@@abeershahid6273 there SHOULD be no thotfairy
Idk why but when megamind sighs and goes "ugh what a drama queen" I literally flip out at how smooth his movement is. I just started teaching myself how to animate and after that I flip out even more lol I always have to rewind a few times just to watch it 😆😆
9:36 you missed a win here!
After minion says “we’re gonna die” the warden’s face always cracks me up, he just looks like he’s thinking “yea probably”
Megamind says that not Minion, Minion just laughs right after then says “wait what?”
Can we also acknowledge how they were already setting up the chemistry between Roxanne and Megamind in the first couple of scenes? It never felt like it was just thrown at you, they already subconsciously liked each other from the first scenes, having playful and teasing banter.
TEMPTRESS!
That's not how it necessarily works though, playful teasing banter does not automatically mean attraction, I mean Megamind and Metro man also where playful and teasing at the start
@@NicaremE I think it implies that they have generally positive relationship if not obviously friends (they know each other for so long and does it so much that they kinda starting to know each other and became friends), it just basically show that roxxane and mega mind romantic relationship didn’t come out of nowhere
@@NicaremE well yeah thats cause they were enemys and lovers
Stockholm syndrom
10:11 I just noticed that in that scene the vehicle is clearly cut in half by a laser, yet a second later Megamind (disguised as Metro Man) is stood as if he just punched threw it. Megamind couldn’t actually punch through the vehicle, so he cut it in half with a gadget before quickly posing as if he punched it.... Genius.
Yeah, someone 7 months ago noticed that and commented about it too-
11:01 you can see the sawblade that cuts the vehicle
Something still has to have separated the two halves. Laser won’t do that for you, so he punched it.
@@yourweirdplant hyphen moment
At the same time, while Metroman probably has laser eyes, Megamind is never seen with a gadget that does the same thing. No laser goggles. So yeah, he's left with wrist lasers or something to most closely replicate the effect.
"a well thought out film that deserves a sequel" that aged well
Doesnt deserve to be called a sequel xD
It doesnt exist. Megamind 2 does not exist EVER we will never get a sequel unfortunately.

@@That_Honda_Civic w h a t?
@@noobfailgaming5703 just search up the nevermi- i mean megamind trailer up
Also I'd like to point out how cool and telling megamind and metroman's names are. Megamind was raised to be evil and self-centered thus he named himself after the aspect of himself he values most. Metroman felt as if he only existed to serve and be an extention of the city he called home. So that's how he came up with his name. Hell he doesn't even get an alter ego until after he "dies" he's just Metroman 24/7.
You missed one. When minion was disguised as Megamind when he tried to free Roxanne he first tried to pull the metal, Megamind wouldn't try that as he would know he was too weak. But minion has the robot body and is far stronger and tried that first. You can even hear the rachet mechanism if you listen close when he pulls on it.
I rewatched this scene a lot of times and couldn't understand from what exact moment Minion disguised as a Megamind... Thank you from finally clarifying it to me
And when "Metroman" makes that entrance splitting the bus in half, it pans round to his face before he says that quip about public transport.
You can see his green eyes. Green for Megamind.

Ever since I saw this movie I've used this quote nonstop
@@noidedroach777 Yes, I knew I wasn't the only one
Gwyn needs help They're costume, so it's a-okay.
I wonder if they will ever make a sequel that’s just as good and well animated as the original
yeah and stay true to the plot and not make random things that were never in the first movie
Yeah so do I! I’m sure that if any streaming service, like Peacock, gets a hold of the Megamind IP, they won’t contradict everything in the franchise!
Meanwhile megamind sequel
One other detail I love: Before Megamind hits Tighten with the copper trap, he tells his robots to “initiate the failsafe.” He only intended to use the weapon that would (theoretically) actually hurt Tighten if things went terribly wrong. Megamind was legitimately only trying to fight Tighten/Metroman for the fun of it.
What I like about it was that he still came prepared for Titan going too far.
The man plans for everything
"Titan"
@@brianmoyachiuz905no it actually is spelt “tighten” in the movie. It’s to show Hal’s stupidity

16:35 That didn't age too well. As sequel we got... and still deserved better.
Objection!
I saw "Despicable me" first then "Megamind" and man "Megamind" easily beats "Despicable" me.
Hard agree. I saw Despicable Me first and I barely remember it (like, how did that movie even end?). The more I think about the little things I remember about Despicable Me, the more I just hate it. Megamind I saw recently, I liked it okay at the time, but the more I think about it the more I love it. It's an incredible masterpiece that deserves more love.
Still love both the same Aka I FREAKING LOVE IT but I say that to all the movies i watch so it's probably the ADHD and high functioning autism
The Reptile Boi ‘Despicable me’ was just too average. It was a children’s animated film that earned pretty good money, whereas ‘Megamind’ didn’t do as well in the box office but is a masterpiece of animation that’s still enjoyable
I like them both
I loved both of them, and even though I still enjoy the sequels of Despicable Me, I still love Megamind

Especially the yellow minions. I mean there annoying AF and they have a freaking MOVIE about themselves. TBH I'm glad Despicable Me 3 came out because that means there not working on any more movies!
AJ LIFE same tbh loll
The reason Despicable got the spotlight was because the overall agenda of the movie was to make being bad seem cool while on the other hand MegaMind's take away message was to be a hero.
Cole Peltier ok I guess that makes some sense
Cole Peltier ok I guess that makes some sense
Little continuity thing, megaminds watch
Sometimes it does the voice and sometimes it doesn’t. (For instance, he can mimic the warden’s voice but not Bernard’s). I figured out why.
When he asks the warden to check the time, a little [rec] appears, recording his voice, before doing a body scan later on. When he scans bernard, he is in a panic and simply does a body scan, without recording the voice.
Nice little detail
@cristal star here's a neat detail. While megamind is grabbing the diffuser gun (i forget its name) in the invisible car there's a "warming up" message left behind. Which is nice joke from the death ray plan
Oh I thought he was really good at impressions and he didn't know Bernard
This movie is so brilliant
Thought that was just a plot hole. That's really cool that it's explained!
Thanks for explaining that that’s a awesome Detail
So whos gonna tell him the bad news
6:31 You mentions how he just flying in whatever position he's already in. After watching this scene a few times it almost appears like he's flying as if he's in a car. Takes a seated position. Left hand grabs the non existent wheel. Right hand shifts into gear. Then the right leg stomps on the gas.
I just noticed this. The bus got supposedly laser eyed but “Metroman” is posing like he punched it. A hint that it’s a disguised laser in his hand.
Edit: OH! And minion pretended to die in the beginning too, setting a trend that Megamind can see through.
megamind used saws. you can see it when roxanne takes off his disguise
Also that at the moment after he does that, it pans round to him, and we can see his green eyes.
He also has those iconic green eyes.
*Im surprised nobody is talking about how Metro Man looks A LOT like Markiplier when he grew a beard*

"there is no queen of England"
well titan, you were correct, just 8 years to early
"A well tought out film that deserves a sequel. Sadly, I wouldn' t say you should hold your breath"
Well, he was right...
What I love about Cinema Win is that his arguments are thoroughly explained, unlike his counterpart who just sins the movie for having narration
ikr. and sometimes i seriously dont get why a scene is sinned while i always get to completely understand, agree, and enjoy every win
Cinemasins isn't doing this seriously.
It’s because Cinemawins is for genuinely reviewing a movie and Cinemasins is a comedy channel. Nothing wrong with that, but they’ve made it clear several times that the majority of sins are jokes and not actually negatives, so if you take them seriously then they’re going to sound dumb. It’s why things like logos or not having a lap dance are sins, they’re just jokes lol
@@ChikaJihyo oh i actually know they're joking but i just dont get most, if not all of the jokes. my bad on how i constructed the earlier comment.
@@kryhaj Oh, I totally understand what you mean. A lot of the jokes are weird references or running gags, it’s really confusing for me too
I also love the running gag of megamind mispronouncing everything because it actually feeds into his character, giving you this feeling that he's only ever read these words growing up and never really hearing others pronouncing them, feeding into his ostracization and isolation he experienced at a young age.
And, of course, it's another of the Chekhov's Guns that get fired in the climax.
great. now I'm sad :(
At the same time, catching himself mispronouncing one of the words while around Roxanne could be indicative of him growing up around the prisoners who probably had their own sort of prison talk but at the same time he learned how to properly pronounce those words through getting taught about it at school.
Same. As a child and teen I learned words by *reading* far more than actually hearing them pronounced, so I recognized that
"A great movie that deserves a sequel."
who tf is gonna tell him...
The Sequel will get 30000 sins
That's a lowball, at least a googolplex sins
that thing isnt a sequel ppl thinks its a sequel even though it doesnt even titled as megamind 2 instead its megamind vs the doom syndicate.Kinda like that red button megamind show but lower budget
@@darthtyranus787 Bro, do some research before making comments like this. It took 5 seconds for me to google megamind vs the doom syndicate and it said it was a sequel.
This movie is very underrated. I appreciate the humor even now, it's pretty witty. The attention to detail is stellar, and the plot isn't shit.
SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who said it was?
Its underrated because it came closely after how to train your dragon. Sad, because they are both really good movies, but megamind was crushed under the How to Train Your Dragon Series and Despicable Me.
How to Train Your Dragon is still fantastic, though. Megamind's probably better in almost every way but damn if I don't love cute dragons fuckin' shit up.
@@oweirevan2061 It's seems this has happened a lot, a movie falling by the wayside because it had to compete with something that got huge. It happened with Treasure Planet, which had to compete with Harry Potter, and the one that got all the attention can be very good too (like How to Train Your Dragon) so it's really just unfortunate. All we can do is love them anyway even if they didn't get as much attention.
Roxanne's dress changing colour is simply phenomenal subtle storytelling.

Even though red isn't the opposite of blue 💀 it's orange
@@marzhun red is for metroman
And it turns purple and blue which shows she's falling for megamind
3:09. I just noticed you can see Meteoman putting the dents in the dome from the outside all the way from the fake one. I love when movie makers put that level of attention to detail in their movies

*Welcome To The Jungle starts playing*
“PRESENTATION!”
A refresher for tomorrow's video. What will it be about? ruclips.net/video/8agMhYDiXg0/видео.html
Megamind was such a good movie I remember as a kid being a captivated by the idea of a villain protagonist who actually comes out on top and defeats the hero (or seemingly defeats him). its a profound movie and speaks on multiple issues. In the first act we get a taste of nature v.s. nurture. Megamind, the underdog anti hero is raised in a prison by convicted felons, this is an issue for our protagonist because our first sense of right and wrong comes from those who raise us and obviously these criminals aren’t going to have strong moral fiber like the “hero” metro man’s parents. Megamind is then bullied by other children at school and his self esteem drops so low that he believes that “being bad is the one thing I’m good at”. It may not seem like it but I believe Megamind suffers from severe depression, behind his witty humor and seemingly confident attitude, Megamind’s tale is crushingly dark, he believes he is defined by his rivalry with metro man who constantly defeats and embarrasses him. Once he kills metro man (which causes him extreme guilt) he feels lost and without purpose, realizing that his rivalry and his hatred was the only thing that gave meaning to his life. He then creates a new nemesis who turns evil causing Megamind even more guilt, believing himself to be at heart only capable of evil. On top of this he is outcast and shunned by all of society only further reinforcing his idea that he is “the baddest boy of them all” no one in the movie is seen ever reaching out to Megamind nobody once gives him the love and support he desperately needs aside from his faithful minion of course, it reminds me of the quote by mark twain
> “But who prays for Satan? Who in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most, our one fellow and brother who most needed a friend yet had not a single one, the one sinner among us all who had the highest and clearest right to every Christian's daily and nightly prayers, for the plain and unassailable reason that his was the first and greatest need, he being among sinners the supremest?”
He is feared by all and he has come to accept that fear is the only for of respect which he deserves. He is so despised that when he makes an attempt to connect with someone he feels the need to disguise himself so that they are not automatically repulsed by him. This belief is reaffirmed by the fact that as soon as Roxanne discovers his true identity she too abandons him. Megamind is stuck in what is referred to as a self fulfilling prophecy, his actions towards others impact other’s beliefs about him which impact their actions towards him which reinforce his beliefs about himself which influence his actions towards others and so on. Megamind is seen as evil in part because he is so firmly stuck in the belief that that’s all he will ever be. in fact after he is defeated by Hal (who represents the vile incel community, further speaking on modern day issues), he discoveres that his old nemesis, metro man still lives. Metro man tells Megamind that he needs to be the hero but megamind is so firmly stuck in the belief that he can never be anything more than a villain that he instead decides to imprison himself, only stepping up to face Hal when he realizes that the woman he loves is in danger (cliche I know but this movie gets a pass) this is all well and good except Megamind’s confidence is still so low that he feels he must disguise himself as metro man in order to save the day, believing that this is the only way he will have the support of the people and be able to intimidate Hal. To Megamind’s horror Hal realizes his true identity and Megamind is forced to fight Hal as himself, overcoming his fear Megamind defeats hal by embracing who he is telling Hal “you’re a villain all right, just not a super one.” After this to his surprise Megamind is accepted by the people but more importantly he has come to be accepted by himself, fully completing his redemption arc. “Megamind” is a dark tale of emptiness, defeat, rejection, and redemption. Megamind teaches us that we are not defined by what others think of us and we always have a choice to be better no matter how dark things may seem.
TL;DR: Megamind is a profound film about a man (or alien) who is severely depressed which drives him to do unspeakable things but he overcomes this in the end and redeems himself in the eyes of society, showing us that we are not defined by what others think of us and we always have a choice to be better.

11:38 ''GET BACK YOU SAVAGES!'' This is ONE of my favorite lines in the movie.
16:36 that phrase aged well
I think older kids appreciated megamind better. I know i did. I mean despicable me was good but the jokes on megamind were funnier, loved them.
I dont remember which i saw first but i did see both at the cinema.
Mega is one of my favourite movies its so well done.
Not to mention the fact that Megamind pays a lot of homage to classic superhero archetypes particularly superman as this video was alluding to which I'm sure a lot of older people respected and admired. Despicable Me was just an average family comedy with a lot of slapstick humor. Not saying it wasn't that good, but it wasn't that great either. Just average. Honestly, I felt this movie was a lot better, and I honestly would've loved to have seen at least another sequel, or an animated series based on Megamind after he becomes a superhero for Metro City. Yes, I know there's that animated short that they released called "Button of Doom", but honestly I never really cared too much for it.
Yeah, it serves as a great metaphor for the character to face who he used to be to move and accept who he is now. And, I did love the message about how if he going to be a superhero, he needs to do it as himself vs trying to be Metro Man. However, from a narrative perspective, "Button of Doom" isn't that great of a follow up when you think about it's flaws on a narrative perspective.
Love both films but Megamind is better, mainly because it has way more depth especially with Hal and how it slowly peels back the layers of his mental issues at first he’s just kinda a creepy nerdy guy but then as the film goes along you really see how far down the rabbit hole the guy is and how insane he is
For me personally, it's like an Anz vs A bug's Life with the two movies. As a child I loved A Bug's Life. But didn't really like Antz. Now as an adult I really like Antz better.
I personally feel like as an adult now Megamind is a much better movie, because of the more mature and deeper themes. If I was a kid now, I'd have enjoyed Dispicable Me much more. It's a much lighter movie.
It's also about the music score, which is hilarious!
Steven Escareno or what about an animated series about his battles with Metro Man and kidnappings of Roxanne previous to the events in the movie? Megamind just has so much untapped potential that I would love to see in use!
