The greatest thing about Hal is he is a very graspable example of the “nice guy” trope.
YUP
To be fair he was given powers past his understanding without his consent.
@@bungiecrimes7247 uhh doesn’t condone any of his behaviour, it just goes to show how “nice guys” would act if they suddenly had all the power. Not good.
@@bungiecrimes7247 Him abusing his powers is partially understandable. A lot of stories have the 'hero' do that prior to becoming more selfless. Him rampaging through a city because a girl wasn't interested in him: not so much. Plus, even before gaining superpowers, he was shown to be incapable of taking no for an answer.
Hal wasn't nice. He was a creepy stalker and a simp who thought Roxanne owed him a relationship because he fancied her.
One little detail I absolutely love is when Metro Man starts playing the guitar. He never leaves our vision, but suddenly he has a guitar in his hands, because he used his speed to get it
Wait a mintue, wtf!? How did you notice that xD
@@queensaharaice7376 I am a man of focus, commitment, and sheer willpower :-D
I just love when people put that much care into the details of their story. It is a really small scene, but how weird would it have been if Metro Man walked over to a guitar to introduce Music Man?
@@axelminus Wow, its crazy how good this movie is. Thanks for point out that detail in your comment!
ive seen college guys at parties with this same ability
Also, there is a frame with metroman standing behind Megamind during the initial Death Ray scene xD
The one thing I’ll say about Metro Man using his speed to give himself “me-time” is that it doesn’t really work if you’re trying to make music. You can’t play a guitar faster than the strings can vibrate, and any sounds you make will take forever to reach your ears (which may actually be contributing to how bad he is).
someone pointed out that the best thing about music for him, is it's one of the few things he can't use his powers to get better at.
@@wolfwing1 it technically does, he doesnt have to deal with ALOT of the issues you would need to because of his body, like for example his fingers dont need to adapt which takes some time for most people. he also has a superbrain that gives him faster learning, which makes it far easier to handle the technical aspect of music.
and his enhanced hearing will allow him to fine tune his playing.
what it wont help is the singing part.
The thing with Metroman wasn't really that he didn't have time for himself... rather, he had been molded by society into something he didn't really want to be anymore. And considering that Megamind is rather harmless as a villain (property damage, sure, but never murder or anything) he knew the city didn't really need him.
but they were a great team of enterteiners
@@whereDoCarrotsComeFrom True, true
This movie is a fucking masterpiece
Agreed, it's a super-movie, got the presentation down pat :D
yes it is. great writing, perfect music. i wish they did more of those :D
After The Incredibles, Megamind is hands down the best animated superhero movie.
The big joke about "Custom baby seal leather boots" is those are actually baby seal *brand*leather boots. You can Google them if you wanna buy them.lmao
"There is no Easter Bunny, there is no Tooth Fairy, and there is no Queen of England!"
That will never not be funny to me 🤣
How bout now?
@@morningrosie3684 hahaha
If you slow down the scene when Metroman image blinks waits as Megamind yells fire, you'll see Metroman simultaneously behind Megamind and on the overlook at the museum
I didn’t appreciate this movie until I grew up. The jokes are generally very subtle, and that’s why this movie is so brilliant.
what a perfect description of this movie: does everything we're familiar with, very well.
My favourite detail in this movie is that every time someone uses the wrist disguise thing, their eye colour doesn't change. So you can usually tell who's under a disguise by their eye colour
"Chicks don't like bouncy houses!" Idk what Hal was talking about, l'd be down for a bouncy house party lmfao
Yeah.... just not with Hal 😅
@@blueteller lmfao, yea, not my type personally, either
@@Spiderella3959 I don’t think he should be 😭
@@blueteller Only a masochist would want that.
And if it was a Puddles Pity Party performing that would be cool too. He is a cool clown.
I relate to megamind so much.. I feel it's a story of how bullying can corrupt someone. In the beginning up until he mixed the chemicals nothing he did was meant to be mean or evil, he was simply trying to impress his peers and get praise for his intellect, and he had little accidents. He was then unjustly bullied and punished for those accidents. I was bullied from that age, and let me tell you, if guns weren't illegal in the UK, by the age of 11 in secondary school I would've been a school shooter. Hell, even at 13 on MSN Messenger I was chatting with a guy I met on a forum about how to eradicate humanity and leave select people alive. It took me til I was 25 to let go of my past and stop being a negative person and become positive about life.
Ah yes, Megamind was one of my childhood crushes I had, I always had a a thing for baddies and anti heroes (still do to this day)
Underrated, glad it gets more recognition.
Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one lol!!!!
Same
I mean I’m gay as hell for him now lol
Oh can't wait to watch, this is one of my favourite animated movies
I can understand why :)
@@ErikGrimms this and Meet the Robinsons are top tier comedy. Perfectly my humour
Megamind is my favorite Dreamworks's movie along with the Kung Fu Panda Trilogy
In that case great news, Kung Fu Panda 2 next weekend :D
Ahh, this, one of the most underrated movies XD glad you reacted to it
It was great fun :)
I'm so glad you reacted to this. I love Megamind! =)
One way to look at the old "nature v nurture" debate.
Also, I want a Black Mamba. Just to go out on a friday night XD
And when someone asks you what you're wearing you answer just like Minion :D
Hahaha just finished kung fu panda now onto megamind which is criminally underrated. Insomnia please don't kick my ass 😔
It was really fun, the dude knows how to put on a show haha.
hasn't been underrated in about three years, but yes.
I love this movie so much. However, I would have loved to see Metroman apologize to Megamind for, literally, making him into a villain, and making sure he stayed that way.
Here’s the best way to look at Megamind, Metro Man and their effect on the world around them. They aren’t heroes OR villains. They are taking part in a school play and were assigned their roles. And they took both roles into being professional actors. It’s ALWAYS about the show, the presentation. Megamind’s methods never hurt anyone. It’s clear from how Roxanne treats his early threats. He wanted her to play her part, but like a show, it just LOOKS like she’s in danger. It’s all property damage, trolling…terrorism. But no one dies in this method. (You can’t possibly tell me he pronounces all those words wrong genuinely, and he just enjoys ticking people off by trolling them)
He realizes he wants the other role, but he’s ASSIGNED his role, he can’t be another role unless he’s someone else. So he plays the director. And he made the WRONG cast choice but was too proud to choose someone else. He wants to escape not the show, but the tropes. He acts slightly entitled for Roxanne, but he is more saying I’m not ALLOWED to have these things because I’m the bad guy. You won’t LET me change.
Metro Man straight up didn’t want this show anymore. He wanted another show. And one HE has to earn. Hence why he chose music. No physical training he always has done, no super power helping him do it, he has to actively learn how to play. And currently he’s awful and has to learn. Which is what he wants.
Minion is more the backstage manager handling the costumes and helping the theatrics hit the perfect adrenaline. (Intentionally making those RIDICULOUS warm up times.) And when Megamind says he doesn’t want the role, Minion basically is saying the show may as well be canceled. Which it more or less was since all the cracks of the show WITHOUT Minion fell apart.
Hal, was never in the show. He’s the camera guy. He WATCHES the show. He never played the role. He could only take what he assumed happened from watching. Metro Man got Roxanne because he saved her. Metro Man would never have died if he just put down Megamind. (There are MILLIONS of viewers that say that the hero should just kill the villain.) Not only was that untrue, but Hal never even fit in the roles in the first place. And showed exactly why someone LIKE Hal can’t have those powers. Because it’s not the power, it’s their control. And he has NONE. Because he never caught on this was a performance. He could act as he pleased because he wasn’t a character in the show.
Roxanne realized as time went on how these guys saw their role and she decided to snap these people out with REALITY and not playing into their show. And it just kept getting her stuck in various versions until Hal was powerless, and she understood Megamind really was just as human as the rest of them.
Metroman reminds me of the Samaritan from the comic Astro City. He is another Superman stand-in, but also something unique. Through some future tech that tells him what is happening where he times his rescues to the second. Flight time to X, X minutes and X Seconds. Rescue another X seconds. While keeping a secret identity and doing some stuff with the local Avengers/JLA.
But when he comes home at night and sleeps, what does he dream of? Flying free with no burden, just... dreams of flying.
Even if Metro Man can move this fast, it's not the same as relaxing. BTW, I think his perception only speeds up when he moves this fast, With him I don't think he always perceives things that fast. Anyway, moving this fast I don't think he could sit down, relax and make music. Well, he could, but it would not be the same. He would always know the difference.
It's a problem many artists face when they make their hobby their job. If they are not careful, it stops being fun. For more on that, I recommend the movie 'Kikky's delivery service'.
Yeah for sure, it's just unfortunate. Cause when you're a true hero you can't ask for time off, you can't take vacations, it's always self-sacrifice and duty. He just needed every other weekend off or something haha. I do plan on getting to more Ghibli films so stay tuned, trying to figure out how to solve it without incurring the wrath of the copyright gods.
@@ErikGrimms Oooh... more Ghibli. none of them has disappointed me, but I was often surprised. Just one warning. Not all of them explain everything and you are left figuring out stuff by yourself.
I love how you can straight up tell even in the beginning he never expected to win, and was even relieved for a moment when he saw 'Metroman' flying at him.
25:07. In my opinion, one of the best scenes in cinematic history.
Presentation!
"But the heart wants what it wants, and sometimes what it wants is twisted~"
Hell yeah
I only wished to have a coat made out of puppies
26:00 I think he mentions it, but when the building hits the ground, it clips the back of the hover bike. It's mostly momentum that's keeping it moving. Trying to turn would just cause it to slow down, rather than change direction.
Love those thumbnails
Thank you, I feel I've finally started to hit my stride when it comes to thumbnails haha, glad it's appreciated :)
The thing I love about this show is the hundreds of little details. I also like how there’s never too much attention given to jokes; they are smooth, frequent, smart, and just present.
I love this movie, it does what it wants to really well, the characters are really fun, and the jokes are really funny and aren’t just childish poop or fart jokes. This movie for me is an 11/10
Wanted to say how awesome it is how actively you interact the community.
I love that you can see in the part of the observatory how metroman goes behind megamind in camera
I think what Megamind meant by saying Hal wasn't a "super" villain was like him saying he's the only supervillain around here. Like if Megamind is a SUPERvillain, then Hal is just a plain old boring villain 🤪
The One dislike on this video was Hal
Hal and the kids from his school
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours, and I have to say that is a magnificent beard
Aw I loved this movie! Can’t wait to see your reaction. :)
I had a great time, hope it comes across :)
@@ErikGrimms Definitely! Loving it so far :)
You know, come to think of it, Titan receiving superpowers due to a scientific chemical, feeling a big sense of entitlement for love and attention he believes he deserves, just because he's powerful enough to get away with anything he wants.....
Yeah, Titan is basically Homelander from The Boys.
Great pick. Look forward to more.
Thank you! Looking forward to bringing more :)
Such a heartwarming movie.
13:33 Movie is great no question, just first time seeing this Scene I was, "is the Camera Guy an Orphan?" and "Is He actually believing this?", then I remember its just a movie.
To my surprise, I didn't know this film before, thanks for making me known.
what about other Hitchcock movies? I recommend his only comedy: The trouble with Harry
Why do I feel like gangstas paradise would have been a better theme for when he got the city and became bored having everything
Yeah that could have been appropriate haha.
Subbed 👍👍
Much appreciated :)
OMG "There is no queen of england" is actually true.
To quote:
"The last Queen of England was Queen Anne who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England."
This is one of my favorite movies. And has an Amazing Cast! Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Ben Stiller, J.K Simmons, and David Cross!! How lucky could we get?
It’s fascinating to see how differently Americans and Europeans (especially men) react to Hal. American men are much more likely to see him as basically harmless and are more surprised when he turns out to be the big bad of the movie. I’ve even heard him described as a twist villain. Meanwhile, European men tend to immediately notice and call out his immense creepiness, and predict his being the villain as soon as he’s injected with the serum. Probably speaks to the cultural difference between America and most of Europe. Thanks for a great reaction!
The thumbnail is gold
your megamind reaction is my favorite, loved to see you enjoy it this is one of my loved movies. just perfectly written
3:24 sums up my entire school life! D;
Loving your reactions by the way - subscribed. :)
megamind probably watched kung fu panda for thinking Hal being chosen it was destiny and not an accident lol
31:17 yeah and not only is it slow, but also lonely
Älskar Megamind :) en av de få moderna animerade filmerna där jag också gillar den svenska dubbningen för David Batra gör rösten till Minion
13:30 I did not realize the "fairy godfather reference" until now.
That might have been my favourite joke in the entire movie haha, so clever :D
a reaction video to my favorite childhhood movie ----- what can i wish more for --- idiocracy would be epic (and sad becouse most of its predictions already came true)
Glad to be of service. Adding Idiocracy to my long list of recommendations.
The intro made me subscribe immediately
Why is your beard so cool?? Also, your voice and personality is just so nice and kind i can't
I love your young Dumbledor's beard....
Megamind is soo funny, love your reactions
it was new back then! ahead of it's time:)
You know he didn't have to make the fake observatory look like the real one on the outside. He could have just built it inside a cube with a false dome inside.
My firrst time here and by the gods that's a magnificent beard
No offense.
but I think its so cool that your beard is like a viking's beard👁👄👁
Cooool🙂🙂🙂
Hit him with the forget me stick
25:00 no, no he's got a point
Mega Mind haves a Big Brain lol
Hal ist the original Incel...
GOD USOPP's wanted poster in the background !🔥
Bro the beard is epic
I know I said this in another video, but I love your beard.
There should be a laugh counter, for all the times you chuckled!
It's been years since I've seen this movie. It's a masterpiece onestly.
I disagree strongly that this movie does things we're familiar with, but very well. You gotta remember this movie came out in 2010 (more than a decade ago, christ I'm old), together with Despicable Me which, unfortunately, got the most attention from the public - partly because this movie _subverted_ everything we knew about superhero movies (in a much more nuanced way than Despicable Me, I think). It deals with the concept of nature vs nurture and destiny vs free will. What other animated family movie, or even superhero movie, can you name that, within the first act of its story, actually lets the villain succeed? What happens after rarely gets discussed because most villains nowadays aren't characters, they are the foil to our hero or simply an obstacle to be defeated to get our happy ending.
Even Hal/Tighten/Titan doesn't fall into that category! He's a great exploration of the question; what if someone who isn't good, but is mostly harmless, suddenly gets gifted extraordinary powers? Most of us want to believe that if we were ever blessed with great power, we'd use it for good - but this power would augment all the flaws we already have - which in Hal's case was a sense of entitlement and some serious anger issues when he doesn't get what he wants.
Megamind wants to show us that being good, or being bad, isn't dependent on destiny or when or where you were born. It's a choice you make.
You should preview "Matinee" it's about a shlock movie producer (who adds in-house special effects) who premieres his latest horror classic in Florida, Unfortunately, he premieres it during the Cuban missile crisis. Here's an example of the dialogue: "We are out of cornflakes, you will have to go through the fiery apocalypse without corn flakes."
Your voice makes me happy
Great reaction!
First time watching?
How do you catch up to all the little nuances and plotpoints so quickly?
I didn't get most of them even after rewatching it for like 10 times!!! :D
I needed youtube videos to tell me how great it was :D
There's a couple of things. I've read a lot of books and picked up a lot of storytelling approaches and archetypes. I've also studied filmmaking for a couple of months in my youth. I also try very hard to understand stories and characters. All of these things together help I think. It also sucks a bit because I can't help myself, whatever I watch or read or play I always try to analyze it and break it down instead of just enjoying it haha.
First time to your channel
What a glorious beard bro.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Beautiful beard bro
Youre underrated
I agree :D
Thank you for this reaction to a great film.
just found your channel and decided to subscribe :D
This dudes beard is INSANE.
Usually I skip to the start of the movie, but you're so charming I wanted to listen what you have to say.
I'm gonna stay. :)
Love this movie!! 🤗
Minion is voiced by David Cross
Hi! I just found your reaction channel. Cant wait to see your reactions and I hope all is well.
Your the best 👁👄👁
best yt channel out of every one so far
Edit: 👁👄👁 your the best
Hello I have subscribed to your RUclips channel
Starring Will Ferrell and Tina Fey in this movie when the villain actually defeats the hero and must decide what to do now
React to "Croods new age". As sequels go- this one is GOOD. 👍🏼
It won't disappoint 🙌🏼
If a second is a full metroman's day of 24 hours. then a 1 hour is 50 to 52 days short of 10 years of MM time. A day would be 3 to 4 years short of 240 years of MM time.
Great reaction to a great movie!
You should do Zootopia.
Freaking great movie haha
29:20 ...this movie is specifically known for doing something new. What are you on about? You've said that for a shit-ton of films. What bizarro world are you living on where nothing is new?
An animated movie where the main character is "the bad guy" and is trying to gain acceptance and be appreciated for who he is, changing perceptions and becoming a "good guy" by the end? Off the top of my head I can think of Shrek, Despicable Me, Lilo & Stitch and Wreck-It Ralph that fits that criteria. In general animated movies usually have a storyline where the main character doesn't fit in and their quest for acceptance and appreciation is the main story thread of the movie which resolves into them embracing themselves and not conforming to societal norms and in so doing find a place in society by being themselves. Details differ but the key elements are always the same.
Te faltó el video extra al final
hm yes
*metrocity.*
25:00 Well that aged poorly.
😁👍👍
A note from your YT creator
IMA Copyright Choomer
Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, a ''fair use'' ruling can be made by a US Court allowing the non approved reproduction and use of anothers private intellectual property by a third party as long as that use is limited and generally either for criticism/critique (including satire and parody, because humor is always welcome), teaching, scholarship or research. I'm not doing any of those things but I can throw around the phrase ''My theft is protected under the fair use doctrine'' like I know what it means.
Even more important, is it for a non profit purpose or for dying my hair green and buying Doc Martens?
If I was donating my proceeds to starving African pagan babies, buying the third world mRNA vaccines or teaching the world to sing in perfect harmony, maybe the judge would cut me some slack, but in reality I'm planning on buying a 70's muscle car and putting a down payment on a condo next to the weed store.
Additionally there are three more required fair use ''tests'', besides this intended use flim flammery, of which I must satisfy the court to achieve a favorable ruling. The ''nature of the work'' I'm stealing (a movie or book is treated differently than say a technical report) , the ''amount used in relation to the whole'' (I may get away with one line from a movie but not from a Haiku) and the ''effect on the business market'' for the work now and in the future (is it being distributed in one classroom at one university on one day or forever on the worldwide web?). As you can see, winning a fair use case in court is difficult and rare and with the internet more problematic than just posting a ''Copyright Disclaimer''. Which in reality is a feel good measure for the lazy and offers little legal protection...like going to confession for Catholics.
So let's do the math, I'm exploiting their private property to generate profits for my own personal if not questionable use (strike 1) , stealing the most highly protected of creative properties, music, movies and novels (strike 2), reproducing significant portions of the works, 10, 25 and even 50% (strike 3) and then putting them on the internet where they will be transmitted to every corner of the globe, can be copied by anyone and will stay around forever (strike 4, it's Canadian baseball). That's zero for oh my butt is sore!
And lets be honest, COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS INTENDED. I may proclaim loudly, with firm conviction and crocodile tears, that ''All rights belong to the respective owners'' but I don't really believe that nor do I care, I'll shoplift it anyway if it means a regular paycheck from RUclips. And if they try to stop me I'll play the victim and whine to my slobbering, dimwitted fans about how racist or sexist I'm being treated and demand action on my behalf. In this day and age it might work.
Fair Use Checklist from ''My Creator''
Is commentary - YES! That's one smack up the backside of THE MAN!
Is nonprofit - Hmmm no, gonna buy me something real nice though!
Is educamational - nope
Is noncommercial -nuttin' honey
Is criticism - its mostly fanboy slobbering (gotta keep the viewers happy) so, no
Is news reporting - no, unless it's Anchorman style
Is teaching - sorry, not Dewey Finn
Is scholarship - wish I graduated high school now...
Is research - it's barely bad observation
Is transformative - let's not get all crazy on me
Is not creative or imaginative - no, its very creative
Is very small amount of total copyrighted material - I used quite a bit...like a kid in a candy shop
Is not a novel/literary, movie/theater or music/song - it is...one of those...I think
Is unpublished - who ''views'' unpublished work on RUclips?
Does not harm existing or future market or sales - I swear on fishsticks and custard no meerkats or seals will be harmed in this production
That's 1/16...sounds like a textbook case of fair use to me!
Great animated movie. Since you enjoyed it do much you might give the Despicable Me movies a watch which I like a little more.
Keep up the reactions, they are great...
