You know they could’ve made a movie about the consequences of selling his inventions on why just getting rid of your problems and acting like it doesn’t exist is a bad idea.
I had an idea for a superhero team telling them to join him and hijinks; I like this one too. How was "I gotta keep being a hero a secret" the ONE plotline they decided would work!?
As someone who got through all 8 episodes of the TV show, I had to repeatedly set the gun aside every couple of seconds. I was able to remember what the point of living was at the end.
The original writers were executive producers on megamind vs the doom syndicate. They were also given writing credits for it but, that could mean absolutely nothing. In television if a executive producer writes even just one joke they can get writing credit. A real example is Fairly odd parents, several episodes would list Butch Hartman as the writer for the episode when he only came up with the initial idea for the episode. And then it was entirely written by other people. So I would not put much stock into them actually writing the film.
This actually is true, in an interview they even mentioned, the doom syndicate being used, as it was originally planned for them to be his former team in the 1st movie, but they got distracted by the whole megamind/Roxane/hal situation instead basically
@@dramaticmudderer5208 Reusing a concept from previous work makes sense. But the execution was quite terrible. I doubt any of those bastards could actually do half as well as Megamind did against Metroman.
The title is the definition of "had us in the first half, ngl" But seriously, you know you screwed up when your follow up short is seen as a better sequel than your actual sequel.
im thinking its an in-universe animated series, and thats why they sound different, and why they renamed Minion, due to copyright. megamind didnt have the time to voice act for some shitty show about himself.
When I saw the tittle I was like...oh no, Aldone lost his mind, we lost him, and then I saw is about the ACTUAL GOOD sequel to Megamind, The Button of Doom, brilliant subversion and clickbait done right, as always awesome analysis my friend.
I like the villain of the Button of Doom. Kinda a sense of man vs self which is more natural than a crew that suddenly exists now. Edit: Also if I HAD TO change Minions name (I wouldn't want to it's iconic to me) I would change it to Sidekick not Chum.
Megamind: self reflection Megamind the button of doom: more self reflection When youve undergone a significant change you fight with your past self. I hope my wording makes sense Youll be conflicted about your memories and your old self. "Was I REALLY that annoying?" "Was I supposed to do that?" "Should I have said something else?" Etc etc Youve found yourself and are looking to find how you can balance it on the foundation of your old past self
In my opinion the villain for the second movie should've been an old fan of metroman who brings attention to the fact that megamind still killed metroman and get the people against him so we could have the villain fight with some normal or primitive weapons but the threat comes from the change in the people
I see a sequel like that ending with metro man coming back to try to calm the situation because he wanted megamind to be a hero in the first movie when he was talking to him, also that's the only realistic way I see ending that conflict personally because it's not a problem you can just smash into the dirt and I don't think people can easily look past killing metro man just because he can do good but that's just me really
My thinking is you build a myth around metro man and that the people start to think he wants to look heroic to steal from them behind their backs so they attack him but towards the end you have metroman come back and unveil the myth that he was perfect by having him actually be a massive prick kinda like what was seen just a little, he cant even refer to a person in the audience as sir he refers to them as random citizens
@@Finn_the_Cat the thing is if metroman was a massive prick it would completely ruin the complexity of him quiting because then it goes from "he got tired of being the thing society forced him to be" to now just being "I don't wanna". You're taking this in the most simple way to resolve a resolution meanwhile I feel having the ending being him sacrificing everything he can to save the people even at the risk of letting the actual villain run free while the person trying to expose megamind acts like a prick to the people would be a good way to make a showing of his character development without just stating it while showing that a person's beliefs and motivation doesn't dictate who they are
The button of doom is a 15 minute short that not alot of people know about, and its better than the very very popular(for the wrong reason) acual sequel
For half a second I thought you were about to explain the hidden genius of the doom syndicate or something before it hit me you were talking about the button of doom
If they wanted to make a Megamind series so badly, something they could have done was make it into a prequel series so they could keep more of the original characters from the first movie while introducing new ones that could help shape the main character's arcs and relationships with one another. And by doing that, it could help lead up to the start of the first movie, at Metroman's "death". Not to mention, we would get to see all the battles between Megamind and Metroman in the past. But, that's just my opinion.
My theory why Megamind the doom syndicate sucks so much is that the writers didn't like the way the executives forced a new megamind and also saw how a sequel would be pointless. Therefore they made it extra bad so the higher ups loose interest.
@@SnowCount I honestly really don't get it, they even said they had big plans for the 2nd season, but there's no way they can see the slop they made and really think it's good
Or they could've just given the film a bigger budget, why they didn't just put it direct-to-video or streaming only baffles me, oh wait, it's because of profit.
I remember when this first came out when they started selling the dvd’s of megamind, button of doom is very fitting to megaminds character, and the universe as well
Yeah. It's saddens me that television computer animation is less creative compared to the other animation techniques used for television (like Flash, stop motion and traditional) that look more high-budget. Most of them sometimes look like they came from those bootleg DreamWorks and Pixar clones.
i thought you shat yourself lol, yeah button of doom is very good. apparently doom syndicate was supposed to be a show about megamind trying to teach people how to defend a city, that got changed apparently
I thought this video was going to be about how Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate is genius for making something _so bad_ that people will meme about it and hate watch it, guaranteeing that they get free publicity and extra cash from their cheap sequel lol.
I really wish Megamind the button of doom was an actual full length movie but even if it’s still a short film, it’s still a great short film and he’s the real Megamind sequel
Do you think you could someday give your take on The Little Mermaid Broadway Musical show from 2008-2009? Like the 2023 live action remake, it also made changes to the story to make sure Ariel is "not passive". But, at the same time, unlike the remake, the cast and crew also admited that translating the Little Mermaid into a stage show wasn't easy because you have limitations when doing a stage show.
7:17 considering both DreamWorks and Illumination are owned by Universal I highly doubt that was the case, but moreso that they didn't want the 2 brands stepping on each other's toesin Google searches
What if the true Megamind sequel with a budget was just a better version of the button of doom, where his evil AI was the villain and the AI controls the big ass robot and made many other robots and has the same message about Megamind learning to be himself and not like Metroman and the movie had a cool art style like puss in boots the last wish or spider verse.
I almost thought he was talking about the peacock movie but he was talking about the good Megamind sequel with the same writing, animation and voice acting as the original
I imagined in the sequel It's megamind going up against his other inventions Because in the button of doom We don't know if they got it all back We only know that they got the dehydration ray back
Ngl the swerve with the title was pretty clever. I verbally said "wait what?" But when you mentioned that you were referring to Button of Doom I thought "Ah okay."
I'll say I can literally tell scenes in this video from the original film and the Button of Doom apart from The Doom Syndicate just by the animation alone.
In my opinion the button of doom literally feels like it was immediately after the film,, like if they did a fast forward scene and attached it to the movie it would feel perfect
The way I had to do a double take from seeing the title.
Same had me quadruple checking
They had me quintouple checking
Same I nearly had a heart attack when I read the title until I actually watched the video
Relatable as though with me doing the sextuple check on this 😅
I’m busy septuple checking
You know they could’ve made a movie about the consequences of selling his inventions on why just getting rid of your problems and acting like it doesn’t exist is a bad idea.
That’s so basic but so genius
That is so smart. That should have been it
Didn’t the ending of the short have Megamind saying that he and Minion are off to get the rest?
This can actually work for Megamind
I had an idea for a superhero team telling them to join him and hijinks; I like this one too. How was "I gotta keep being a hero a secret" the ONE plotline they decided would work!?

Youll be conflicted about your memories and your old self. "Was I REALLY that annoying?" "Was I supposed to do that?" "Should I have said something else?" Etc etc
Youve found yourself and are looking to find how you can balance it on the foundation of your old past self
Chuminion
Probably the name Chum was just to make that unfunny joke about Chum being fish food
Button of Doom is the true sequel!!
The greatest, the one, the only
The legendary one
In my opinion the villain for the second movie should've been an old fan of metroman who brings attention to the fact that megamind still killed metroman and get the people against him so we could have the villain fight with some normal or primitive weapons but the threat comes from the change in the people

So basically a primitive version of Syndrome

The way I had to double take, then the way I sighed in relief when it was actually about the 15 minute short is crazy
I almost thought this was an early April Fools joke until I heard you talk about the short on the DVD and Blu-ray.
This is somehow simultaneously one of the most clickbait yet honest titles on RUclips
That's a real ballsy title their buddy

Megamind VS. The Doom Syndicate is the lesser man's Megamind 2. The real fans all know Button of Doom is the REAL Megamind 2.
Yeah The moral of this fiasco is, sometimes if something is good, just leave it where it lies.
I remember when this first came out when they started selling the dvd’s of megamind, button of doom is very fitting to megaminds character, and the universe as well
You had us in the first half.
The first time I was relieved to be clickbaited.
This is a far better sequal and/or pilot for a tv show than the doom syndicate/rules ever will be
Yeah. It's saddens me that television computer animation is less creative compared to the other animation techniques used for television (like Flash, stop motion and traditional) that look more high-budget.
Most of them sometimes look like they came from those bootleg DreamWorks and Pixar clones.

I always thought that the "The Button of Doom" short was a nice epilogue to the Megamind movie.
Ok, you got us at the first half, I'm not gonna lie.
