My favourite part about Metroman's super speed is that it implies he could've stopped any of Megamind's schemes in less than a second, but instead CHOSE to play along, exchange witty banter, and let Megamind show off. He clearly had a lot of respect for Megamind by the end, even though they started as rivals. It's very wholesome!
That, and it says something about Megamind too, MM knew he was harmless. The guy isn't going to destroy the world, he's going to act up with some zany mad scientist scheme for attention.
Hal being an idiot is paradoxically what MAKES him terrifying. Horror comes from the unknown, and Hal is irrational to an unreadable degree. He's carnally unstable and ready to explode at any possible irritation. Also yeah I should probably go to bed too it's 1:41 AM whoops
yeah, weirdly enough, an idiot with world ending powers is horrifying moreso than a smart person with them. also, you better have gone to bed right after this
I remember someone writing that Gaston is the scariest Disney villain, because everyone knows a guy like him. You'll likely never run into a sea witch or sorcerer, but you're definitely going to meet someone who is utterly horrible, but gets a pass from society because he's handsome, strong, rich, etc. Tighten isn't quite the same since he does get super powers, but I'd say he's scary for the same reasons. The world is full of unstable, selfish people who are emotionally stunted and borderline stalkers, but get overlooked because they're "harmless," or "they were just kidding." They're only harmless so long as they don't have the means to do harm, but the moment they do, we get a Tighten.
@@Henry-I-H-N-I| Not quite the same. Emperor Belos was a literal witch hunter. And while there are PLENTY of religious bigots in the world, it's far easier to spot them and they're far less common. Hal meanwhile is someone most people WOULD write off as "harmless" right up until he was handed power.
Frodo is literally the scariest Disney villain. A religious nut who believes himself to be above everyone else and is willing to murder innocent people because he is unable to fathom his own weaknesses and rejection.
On the one hand, it's okay since is a positive comparison towards a real person, so not much harm there. But on the other... it's getting repetitive, therefore annoying. I can't watch any video about Megamind without "HeLlo EVeryBody my naMes MarkIPliEr" going off at full volume at some point, it's irritating.
Metroman was VERY well aware of his limits. He had godlike powers and throughout the whole movie the only "Struggle" we see is his acting. Meanwhile, Titan has NO clue of his limits, and if he DID id argue he WOULD have taken over everything.
I really love that Metroman CHOSE to let Megamind feel like a big scary villain. He could have humiliated the guy whenever he wanted to, but Metroman instead played along, engaged in banter, and let Megamind have his share of the spotlight. They may have started as rivals, but clearly Metroman respected and understood Megamind better than anyone else in the city.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth that definitely seems to be the case, especially since it might be more helpful to keep him distracted with defeats that are always just close enough that he thinks he can try again, if he ever just stomped megamind, he would reek havoc in the next town over.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth Spot on. One thing I really enjoy about Metroman is through all his struggles with self identity: Going from rich kid to teachers pet to superhero in his struggles to be liked and play the role society wants him to be until finally to him trying to reinvent himself to who he himself wants to be. You can see his maturity increase in how he treats megamind. As a kid he plays along and ostresises Megamind like his teacher and the rest of the kids, as an adult he lets megamind feel important and powerfull both to make the play better and to not humiliate megamind to much and in the end after he quits he is the first to belive that megamind can be a hero. Before megamind himself does it. From Megaminds perspective Metroman was a bully that tormented him his whole childhood but instead of it ending with a revenge plot or Metroman karmically getting his life ruined. Metroman who also was just also a dumb kid desperate to be loved grew up and worked to become a better person and became the first person to support and belive in Megaminds inner godness. It's inspiring to see such a story about betterment and forgiveness among rivals.
I always got the idea that Hal was granted only a miniscule fraction of what power Metro Man actually had. He got his powers from some tiny slivers of DNA from some dandruff, whereas Metro Man is literally all of that DNA. I felt like the fact Metro Man could go at incomprehensible speeds was a testament to how much greater of a power Metro Man had than Hal when either wanted to actually try. Metro Man did everything leisurely and to put on a show, and Hal only manages to just about reach that level only when he has to try really, REALLY hard to do so.
Could also be that Metroman is in his late 30s or 40s (by the fact his hair is starting to grey) Even if you had the body of an Olympian, it would still take a lot of time to get to your full potential
Someone did do the maths, and Hal has like a millionth of the amount of dna metroman has, so it makes sense hes so weak compared to metroman (hell, if I remember where I got this info from)
Awesome video, good thing we never had a terrible sequel that tarnished this movie's legacy. I'm glad to live in a world where there's no Megamind 2 or an awful TV show, what a crazy world would that be... right?
And to think Megamind is too scared to stop 4 uninspired villain designs when he LITERALLY STOPPED A GOD WHO COULD HAVE DESTROYED ANY PLANET IN SECONDS!!!
THERE IS NO MEGAMIND 2, MEGAMIND IS A ONE MOVIE SERIES THAT ALSO HAD A SHORT ATTACHED TO IT CALLED MEGAMIND AND THE BUTTON OF DOOM, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MEGAMIND 2 OR A MEGAMIND SERIES
Maybe its not actually super speed... Maybe Metro Man ACTUALLY had the ability to slow time around him, and just _assumed_ it was super speed because that's what it looked like to everyone else. Imagine how it must have been the first time he did it. As a kid, he's just messing around, and then everything goes super slow, and then once he stops doing it his parents go "Honey! The kid just moved really fast!" It would make sense that he would assume that's what it is.
That has the same consequences as super speed, because the air still goes at a relatively slower speed than Metroman. Not to mention this time stopping ability needs to work across the planet, otherwise there would be a very noticeable time desync.
@@hallojava2458 Time alteration would need to affect a bit more than the observable universe in order to not mess things up badly. I think maybe a super speed "aura" could maybe work. Like anything within a range is able to move as fast as him so air would get out of his way and things he grabs wouldn't experience the issues of holding together when affected by the "aura". The range of the aura could be really small but provide the area to safely accelerate and decelerate without destroying everything.
Well according to Einstein's theory of relativity, time is entirely relative. Accelerating your own time and slowing down time around you are the same thing as far as physics are concerned.
This is the biggest problem I have with the Doom Syndicate. Forget literally everything else that's wrong with the movie. I feel like everyone (myself included) would have been so much less angry if the villains were actually scary and threatening! Tighten is HORRIFYING as both a character and as a concept!
What the hell are you talking about? What the hell is the Doom Syndicate? You must've had a bad dream because Megamind does NOT have a sequel and a shitty tv show along with it that ruined its legacy. The only sequel is the Button of Doom.
@Spaghetti_Jester I think that could work. Like you could keep the powers but just amplify their personalities and appearances to make them actually threatening.
@@achimdemus-holzhaeuser1233 To be fair there is a big difference between personal power and stuff like political power. You as a politician have those powers for a reason. The responsibility would be there even without ANY power. Its just easier if power is given to someone who needs it. Personal powers have no responsibility tied to them. That idea is just pushback from people pushing the might is right idea. Except they take it too far.
Exactly, it was a trial he'd need to overcome through hard work. He's like Saitama but instead of staying depressed about his inability to be challenged in fighting Metro Man chose to find something else in life to fulfill him.
I’ve always gone with the idea Tighten wasn’t nearly as strong as metro man. He got his power from a tiny fraction of metro man, and we never really see him display metro man’s casual power output, even when he has no reason not to display his full power. I firmly believe metro man could have absolutely wiped the floor with him in milliseconds if only for his speed advantage.
@@cara-seyun well tighten also has never fought someone his own size before, of course he’d be scared even if he was stronger, he has metro man’s invincible image in his head. now i dec think metro is way stronger but idk if thats enough to say that
Even if he was exactly as strong or even a bit stronger, Metroman would have beaten him. The guy had no idea how to use his powers yet. Him figuring out how to use those powers would take time. Metroman had his whole life to use those powers.
What adds to your theory is when titan flew away after being rejected and by Roxxane he flew away and by Metroman standards quiet slow he shattered all the windows nearby on the tallest building And Metroman is clearly way faster than that and yet caused no damage Edit: my English was so bad holy-
Obviously it's not real so there's no *actual* explanation for how it works, but I prefer the idea that it's a similar power to Superman's tactile telekinesis which holds together large objects when he lifts them, just like Hal is able to lift the top half of that skyscraper and that massive piece stays together. An actual skyscraper would totally fall apart if you tried to pick it up at a single point and swing it around like Hal was doing. So the idea is that they have latent telekinetic abilities which hold things they touch together. I think a similar mechanism could protect things around them when they use super speed. It could also explain how they're able to fly, subconsciously accelerating the air molecules around their skin, sort of opposite to the deceleration they must be doing to the air around them when they use super speed.
@@CutoutClips then why was Hal able to use it on the skyscraper but not the nearby windows I still like the phasing idea like the Film Junkie mentioned it makes the whole superspeed thing more sensible if Metroman actually had to learn how to phase like the Flash did and since he isn't relying on the speedforce is just able to move inanely fast like a speedster.
Dude. I just realized at the time where Metroman flashes, a white figure appears behind Megamind for a very split second. This is such a great detail from the creators.
I think Metro-Man's speed powers are isolated, meaning that everything he interacts with moves at the speed you'd expect but has no effect on constituent objects.
I think while your point is entirely valid, the speed and energy thing is a bit too deep a dig at the movie's physics. Metroman could have surpassed the speed of light (which has far greater implications than just releasing a bunch of energy) for all we care. (edit: that would require him to cover a distance of 12 500 km within a frame, presuming 24 fps. Not impossible though not likely within a city) Still, great work and another good take on "Superheroes are like nukes". Keep 'em coming.
Honestly in my opinion, I think Metroman spent waaaaaaaaay longer than a few hours in his super speed. The montage and the amount of self reflection he did, for me, points to him spending at least a year in his speed.
@@jayisgreg1787he might be like Superman where he has super reading comprehension so even in real time, it probably takes him like 15 mins to take that all in (compared to the average human at least a few days)
When the super speed scene is being show in the frame where metro man disappears for a frame you can see him behind megamind and also at the top of the metro man statue
I never saw this detail and ngl, that is both excellent foreshadowing but also spooky as hell. His speed is so incomprehensible that when he holds still long enough for light to reflect off of him (a handful of milliseconds if that) at three different points, all three of those images are visible AT THE SAME TIME. It's a kid's movie so you can't think about it too hard, but imagine facing someone and thinking you have the upper hand, only to realize they move at such a speed that the waves of light your primitive monkey eyeballs use to perceive motion are TOO SLOW to follow him.
@@Terra_Egg Can give me and the other blind people a direction to look? It's been forever since I actually sat down and watched Megamind so I can't remember where he went on the statue...
Tightan, Titan, Hal; whatever you want to call him. He took off his mask. Throughout the entire film, his mask stayed off of his face. *Revealing his true self.*
It's always been my headcannon that super speed is not super speed, but time dilation, in every instance where the kinetic energy is not taken into account. IE, the "Speedster" experiences the flow of time at a different rate than everyone else, with their "speed" being a side-effect. Made in Heaven, the final boss of Jojo's Bizzare Adventure showcases this very well. Made in Heaven can determine how time is perceived by making living things, non-living things, and the user experience the flow of time at different rates. Let's say that everything in the universe is moving 30x faster EXCEPT for everyone other than Pucci. If Pucci threw a baseball in accelerated time, it would appear 30x faster to everyone else, but normal to himself. At the same time, Pucci would see everyone other than himself moving at only 1/30th their normal speed, because time is relative to the observer. This would make the baseball behave exactly as normal, since it isn't the velocity or distance that has changed, but TIME.
I like how the super speed thing acts as a metaphor for testing your capabilities. Those born with great abilities will either fully explore them or just ignore them and underappreciates it. It’s a neat comparison.
This is actually a new theory and conversation point that I’ve heard about and it makes me a little happier since I know that megamind 2 is dogshit but that people still talk about the old one
For those who are curious, Metroman was probably moving at about 1700x the speed of sound (580km/s or 360mi/s). Using your metric of 5 hours of hyper speed and an average walking speed of 3 mph (in hyper speed time), we can assume he traveled about 15mi in 1/24 of a second. However, I think he likely traveled more than 15 miles (considering the size of most metropolitan cities). For comparison, most space capsules on reentry are traveling 17,500mph. Our caped hero would have been going 1,300,000mph. Space capsules turn the air *into plasma* by friction. Asteroids collide with earth anywhere around 25,200mph to 90,000mph; they *liquify* the ground on impact. But don't worry though, he would only be able to heat up the surrounding air (smarter people who study aerodynamics or fluid dynamics could give a better answer at to how hot). Anything immediately close to him would either vaporize or ignite, but that shouldn't cause problems for anything beyond a few feet away from him. According to all known estimates, it would be impossible for him to travel fast enough to 'ignite' the atmosphere (I'm referring to the fusion of nitrogen). This is assuming our atmosphere of course. The heat would transfer away faster than a sustained fusion reaction could keep up. Could fusion happen? Maybe... But any explosion caused by fusion wouldn't be worse than the explosion from collision. All that is solely looking at HEAT but not kinetics. Every time Metroman uses his hyper speed, he would cause a sonic boom. Not devastating, but very unpleasant to be around. Should he collide into something, it shouldn't cause an explosion greater than that of a 5 kiloton bomb (I used the kinetic energy formula for that, assuming a bodyweight of 250lbs). Nothing close to an atomic bomb, but a lot worse than most conventional bombs (the MOAB supposedly is an 11 ton bomb, so about 500x the blast of one of those). What's interesting is that we don't see these sudden ignitions or loud sonic booms happening. Nor do we see him heat up (I'm talking greater than 4000°F). This does support your idea of phasing through matter. Fun stuff to think about... Tl:dr - He couldn't kill all life on earth, but he could easily devastate entire cities within seconds.
4:36, The other option is the same force field that allows characters like these to fly also allows them to control the forces they generate or that are otherwise interacting with them, insulating themselves and anything they touch against the full force their movements would normally generate. Superman and Flash, in some continuities, generate similar fields from their bodies that allow them to regulate the force they generate or is exerted onto them, which for Superman also allows him to perform his enormous feats of strength without causing unwanted damage. The issue is, these characters usually are depicted as possessing discipline to master their powers to the degree of being able to generate this field and mainly do so to avoid causing unwanted harm, but to someone who lacks that discipline or care, there isn’t much stopping them from using their power without restraint other than the fear of accidentally injuring themselves.
I wouldve loved this to be a take on how Titan shows that the more power someone has, the more likely it is they will just grow mad with power and use it to fuel their own agendas, indulging in their desires for no greater reason than "Because they can" now. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, or rather, shows what you would become if you couldnt be held responsible. Its kind of funny how uncle ben kept a person with super strength and infinite reflexes stressed out over school work and having a normal day to day life
I have one assumption as to why Metroman's insane speed didn't result in the world getting fucked within half a second... > He controls the strength and the force every time he moves at such speeds. Since Force increases with mass x acceleration, assume Metroman, before even taking a step or colliding with particles, slows down to prevent himself from leaving a mark(lol) in his wake. In the movie, we can see him move in a fast, yet delicate manner; where his movements start with a burst, yet immediately transitions into slow, careful actions which may convey him forcibly stopping the force of his actions to prevent them from fucking up everything around him. This would mean MetroMan is so strong, he can even carefully slow the force of his own weight multiplied by the speed of light to a stop without any effort.
A great detail that a lot of people didn´t notice in the movie is that megaming always pronounces trocity in metrocity like atrocity while metroman corrects him and says metro-city. When megaming is disguised as metroman he tells tighten to don´t come back to me-trocity ever again
A sequel to Megamind could have worked but it would have needed a story as great as the first film’s “you choose who you are, don’t let society decide for you” and “nice guys with power are the scariest villains”. -You want a crime syndicate? Have them be humans who once paid Megamind for his tech so that they could perform crimes (and throw in how the rich can sometimes pay their way out of prison). -You want the crime syndicate to be super powered like Megamind and Metro man? Have them be aliens who are visiting earth for the first time in an attempt to get away from the galactic cops, have Megamind have to battle between what is right and what will make him popular (because I’m sure he still has acceptance issues) -You want to give Megamind a human kid sidekick? Have the film focused on how it’s an adult’s responsibility to keep kids away from harm and near the end show how the sidekick can provide help without getting into physical danger themselves
This has the best thumbnail I've ever seen on RUclips. Seriously, I haven't even watched the video itself yet, I just came to comment about how fire the thumbnail is
I know he misspelled it. But it's subtle thing. Tighten could mean like. Tightening your grip on a world who wronged you. Who denied you rewards. Keep tightening your grip. And they'll respect you
I think it's because he's a failure Titan is the hero megamind wanted, while tighten is what he got, someone completely unlike metro-man @zcgamerandreacts2762
Something tells me megamind just didn't engineer Metromans super speed because he wasn't aware of it. Like yeah it came from his DNA but he had to configure that himself
He's basically the people who say they'd be like Homelander or Omni-Man (even tho he's more of a good guy tbh) if they had superpowers. Tho it seems the video wasn't really about it.
So... ironically enough. film theory covered The Flash's super speed when Superman raced him across the Earth and came to the exact same conclusion (how Superman would be setting off miniature atomic bombs with how fast he'd be going) it's a very good video and it was good to actually know some science being talked to me for once. EDIT: I also love the Markiplier moment because of how much it fits.
You know that saying "as kids, we love hero's, as adults understand villains"? For me, Hal was the other way around. When I was 17 (in 2010) I sympathised with Hal as I was bit of a loner and socially inept but now as a 30 year old grown man, I see Hal for the Schizoid monster he is 😅😅
If we assume Metroman went a distance of about 50km and then we divide by how fast it was. We can calculate that Metroman went about 1250km/s. But that doesn't explain the time for us, as he must have taken at least an hour or two to think about it. if we assume in perspective, it was 2 hours for him but only 40ms for us, then he would have been travelling, it broke the calculator. Basically, at relative time of 12 minutes, and the time it took for Metroman to move of 40ms, he must have travelled at the speed of light, but what I'm saying, is 120 minutes, meaning it would be closer to 3,000,000,000 metres a second. At that point, it's not even a contest, the very atmosphere would have an absolute nuclear reaction as everything would be push up against each other so tightly it would be as though the entire area exploded. It would cause a chain reaction of nuclear fusion, destroying absolutely everything in its path, including the atmosphere and the earth itself, as everything would be so compacted by the explosions the end result would nothing more but dust and extremely large iron ball in the centre. To say it would be destructive is so wrong its hilarious, it would as though the sun hit our planet and sustained its fusion. Basically, imagine the explosion Metro man survived and imagine it on an even greater scale
@@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735 Well, I thought about it and it would make sense as to why he seems to be in two places at once. The lack of reflecting light is there anytime a person moves, it's why there's only one of us, we are reflecting light, into the person who is looking at us at our location. When we move, we no longer are there and so the light that should be hitting us and reflecting, no longer does, and instead we reflect light in our new location. Metroman, doesn't disappear for that frame, merely becomes more transparent, this is a sign that the light did start to reflect just the empty building, but before all of the light reflecting Metroman hit our eyes, he was right back there. So, there is no chance he was slower than light, as, if he was, the light would have shown he was no longer there at all. So, let's do the math. Assuming the building is 100m at the projections, and that the camera is half a kilometre away, that would mean that the distance is about 509.1 metres. The speed of light is 299,792,498, so 0.5091 / 299,792,498 = 1.69817458e-9 seconds. Basically 0.0016817458 seconds, that is how long Metroman disappeared in Megamind's world. If anyone wonders why no one noticed, it's because our reaction time is about 0.2 seconds. A little bit slower. So, he's gone for that long, let's do the math again: So, we take 299,792,498,000 and we take his time and it becomes: 299,792,498,000 x 0.0016817458 = 504174.774383 kilometres. Oop. Lemme quickly run that relativity again. T = YT = T/SQRR 1 - V2/C2 So, Lorentz factor, that's the Y, trust me, it's weird. So basically, it's one, divided by the square root of 1-square root of v squared and c squared. V is relative velocity. Obviously, we don't know this just yet, but, I can work back wards. Basically, fill it out, you get: 1 / ¹1-89,875,542,000,000,000,000,000/89,875,542,000,000,000 = -0.000001 Metroman is so fucking powerful he broke math. I'm not exaggerating, I use my tablet, I get a negative number when dividing, which is just flat out impossible, and my calculator just breaks. It just spits back, Math error. But, for shits and giggles, let's continue, the Y is now, -0.000001 And, it breaks it again, the calculation for relative time versus real time is the same as figuring the Lorentz, however, the difference is now, you would substitute time with the one, you would divide with. The equation would read as: 0.0016817458 / ¹1-89,875,542,000,000,000,000,000/89,875,542,000,000,000 So, i'll see if I can get it to throw an answer at me. I actually got an answer, the answer was 1.681744959-3. sure. So, I think that's the time it took for him. I'm not 100% correct saying he was 3,000,000,000 a second, but he would be around 9-10x the speed of light.
I'm not exactly correct, but being that the earth would be screwed even at just light speed, it doesn't honestly matter if I'm one, or nine factors off, we're fucked either way lmao
You can't be right about 10x light speed, because objects moving at the speed of light look like they experience no time Matter of fact him moving a the speed of light doesn't make sense, space isn't shortened
5:37 Speaking of physics, at the speed Metro Man is flying how do those babies not have shaken baby syndrome the moment their consecutively picked up by Metro Man
Ya know whats so interesting about this. If Megamind really wanted to, he could have just injected himself with Metroman's DNA and then fought titan in a more direct way. In fact. It probably would have been a lot easier and less risky to inject himself with the powers then use the diffuser. In fact, he could have even done it to minion for extra measure. And since he is much smarter he would stand a better chance again Tighten.
The markiplier gag feels like it should have gotten annoying or old, but for some reason, it was equally funny every time. I never realized Metroman sounds/looks a bit like Markiier. Now I can never unsee it XD
4:57 for some reason this reminds me of that one gumball scene where they pause time, and because of that, they tried to read a comic book, but they moved it so fast that the book lit on fire
If we say that that one frame flicker was 4 hours for metroman, then that would mean that he was moving at 99.9999999997% of the speed of light. That's pretty quick.
Maybe when Metroman is moving at super speed he’s near a white hole, so everything around him seems to be blocked and when he touches something it won’t explode because while he’s moving he interacts like the objects near his touch accelerate that bit to be touched in his perspective
Now that I think about it, Tighten (an by extension Hal as a person) are just a very immature and creepy version of your basic hero trope in movies and books. He thinks in this world of heroes and villains that it always plays out the same way. Hero beats bad guy and gets the girl, but he never moves past that mindset for the entire movie. As soon as he gets his powers his one goal is to get Roxanne but when he doesn’t he goes berserk showing that Hal is very childminded. When he doesn’t get what he wants he throws a tantrum
The only good thing about Titan is that his powers actually comes from dandruff taken off metroman's cape, so he actually only got a tiny fraction of the guy's powers
This was a great video, i knew titan was carless with his powwers but i definetly did not take into consideration how badly this could turn out for the earth
4:36 we also have to take into account he's had years upon years to control this ability and speed. He probably made an way to make the energy all collect at where the laser was fired, to further increase the believabilily of the explosion, and even where the skeleton would launch from: the perfect coverup would be to aim the skeleton right at the other observatory balcony.
To take a line of motivation from the Androids in DBZA, when asked why they are destroying cities like they're going out on a joy ride, they reply. "The question isn't why, kid, it's why not? Whose gonna stop us." When you're just better than everyone else, and their isn't one person to check you, why not just do what you want? Scary to think about.
There is a quote from the Dresden files I like. About how evil acts in small bursts but evil is constantly desctuctive. And Titan is not the evilest hero but he is the stupidest
Titan, for me, encompasses Hannah Arendt's theory of the 'Banality of Evil' how normal people can have immense levels of power (not as literally as Titan) and through a lack of self-awareness, combined with corruption, greed and often fear they then cause extreme levels of damage and harm. Normal people with too much power and no responsibility = corrupt and extremely destructive (evil) actions.
Really great video, the first megamind movie is what we needed in the future with its sequel and series, but seeing this made me realize. Its also scary how smart Megamind is because he was able to make a serum that was able to replicate metroman powers with the smaaaaaaaaaalest sample of DNA ever and to simply give it to someone with no side effects. Maybe if we took his sillyness away he would be a real threat to metroman
I don't know how or why, but everytime MetroMan would go to speak and instead I hear "Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier!" it would somehow catch me off guard
It seems like metroman can travel at 432,000 times the speed of light, or make everything around him move in tiny circles close to the speed of light for time dialation to give that difference in perspective.

His rivalry with Megamind was probably the most interesting thing in his life until even that lost its charm.
@@affsteak3530That's why he went into music, he actually had to challenge himself and learn a new skill instead of just being bored all the time.

He probably did it to please his fans. After all, if he defeated Megamind with no effort everyone would get bored. They wanted a show.

I remember someone writing that Gaston is the scariest Disney villain, because everyone knows a guy like him. You'll likely never run into a sea witch or sorcerer, but you're definitely going to meet someone who is utterly horrible, but gets a pass from society because he's handsome, strong, rich, etc. Tighten isn't quite the same since he does get super powers, but I'd say he's scary for the same reasons. The world is full of unstable, selfish people who are emotionally stunted and borderline stalkers, but get overlooked because they're "harmless," or "they were just kidding." They're only harmless so long as they don't have the means to do harm, but the moment they do, we get a Tighten.
Exactly the same for emperor belos
@@Henry-I-H-N-I| Not quite the same. Emperor Belos was a literal witch hunter. And while there are PLENTY of religious bigots in the world, it's far easier to spot them and they're far less common.

On the one hand, it's okay since is a positive comparison towards a real person, so not much harm there. But on the other... it's getting repetitive, therefore annoying.

Metroman was VERY well aware of his limits. He had godlike powers and throughout the whole movie the only "Struggle" we see is his acting. Meanwhile, Titan has NO clue of his limits, and if he DID id argue he WOULD have taken over everything.
I really love that Metroman CHOSE to let Megamind feel like a big scary villain. He could have humiliated the guy whenever he wanted to, but Metroman instead played along, engaged in banter, and let Megamind have his share of the spotlight.
They may have started as rivals, but clearly Metroman respected and understood Megamind better than anyone else in the city.

@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth Spot on. One thing I really enjoy about Metroman is through all his struggles with self identity: Going from rich kid to teachers pet to superhero in his struggles to be liked and play the role society wants him to be until finally to him trying to reinvent himself to who he himself wants to be.
You can see his maturity increase in how he treats megamind. As a kid he plays along and ostresises Megamind like his teacher and the rest of the kids, as an adult he lets megamind feel important and powerfull both to make the play better and to not humiliate megamind to much and in the end after he quits he is the first to belive that megamind can be a hero. Before megamind himself does it.
From Megaminds perspective Metroman was a bully that tormented him his whole childhood but instead of it ending with a revenge plot or Metroman karmically getting his life ruined. Metroman who also was just also a dumb kid desperate to be loved grew up and worked to become a better person and became the first person to support and belive in Megaminds inner godness.
It's inspiring to see such a story about betterment and forgiveness among rivals.
He's not "godlike". He is just an alien.

I always got the idea that Hal was granted only a miniscule fraction of what power Metro Man actually had.
He got his powers from some tiny slivers of DNA from some dandruff, whereas Metro Man is literally all of that DNA.
I felt like the fact Metro Man could go at incomprehensible speeds was a testament to how much greater of a power Metro Man had than Hal when either wanted to actually try.
Metro Man did everything leisurely and to put on a show, and Hal only manages to just about reach that level only when he has to try really, REALLY hard to do so.
It doesn't matter, every cells in our bodies has all of our dna
Hal also had like... a week to practice. He's definitely got a learning disability, too.
@@haydentravis3348Which one, if you had to guess?
Could also be that Metroman is in his late 30s or 40s (by the fact his hair is starting to grey)

Someone did do the maths, and Hal has like a millionth of the amount of dna metroman has, so it makes sense hes so weak compared to metroman (hell, if I remember where I got this info from)

Maybe its not actually super speed... Maybe Metro Man ACTUALLY had the ability to slow time around him, and just _assumed_ it was super speed because that's what it looked like to everyone else.
Imagine how it must have been the first time he did it. As a kid, he's just messing around, and then everything goes super slow, and then once he stops doing it his parents go "Honey! The kid just moved really fast!" It would make sense that he would assume that's what it is.
That has the same consequences as super speed, because the air still goes at a relatively slower speed than Metroman. Not to mention this time stopping ability needs to work across the planet, otherwise there would be a very noticeable time desync.
@@hallojava2458 Time alteration would need to affect a bit more than the observable universe in order to not mess things up badly. I think maybe a super speed "aura" could maybe work. Like anything within a range is able to move as fast as him so air would get out of his way and things he grabs wouldn't experience the issues of holding together when affected by the "aura". The range of the aura could be really small but provide the area to safely accelerate and decelerate without destroying everything.

I’ve always gone with the idea Tighten wasn’t nearly as strong as metro man. He got his power from a tiny fraction of metro man, and we never really see him display metro man’s casual power output, even when he has no reason not to display his full power. I firmly believe metro man could have absolutely wiped the floor with him in milliseconds if only for his speed advantage.
You see how horrified Hal is of “Metroman”, meaning he still thinks there is a power difference
@@cara-seyun well tighten also has never fought someone his own size before, of course he’d be scared even if he was stronger, he has metro man’s invincible image in his head. now i dec think metro is way stronger but idk if thats enough to say that
Even if he was exactly as strong or even a bit stronger, Metroman would have beaten him. The guy had no idea how to use his powers yet. Him figuring out how to use those powers would take time. Metroman had his whole life to use those powers.
What adds to your theory is when titan flew away after being rejected and by Roxxane he flew away and by Metroman standards quiet slow he shattered all the windows nearby on the tallest building
And Metroman is clearly way faster than that and yet caused no damage
Edit: my English was so bad holy-
Obviously it's not real so there's no *actual* explanation for how it works, but I prefer the idea that it's a similar power to Superman's tactile telekinesis which holds together large objects when he lifts them, just like Hal is able to lift the top half of that skyscraper and that massive piece stays together. An actual skyscraper would totally fall apart if you tried to pick it up at a single point and swing it around like Hal was doing.
So the idea is that they have latent telekinetic abilities which hold things they touch together. I think a similar mechanism could protect things around them when they use super speed. It could also explain how they're able to fly, subconsciously accelerating the air molecules around their skin, sort of opposite to the deceleration they must be doing to the air around them when they use super speed.
@@CutoutClips then why was Hal able to use it on the skyscraper but not the nearby windows
I still like the phasing idea like the Film Junkie mentioned
it makes the whole superspeed thing more sensible if Metroman actually had to learn how to phase like the Flash did and since he isn't relying on the speedforce is just able to move inanely fast like a speedster.
Love the detail when Minion knocks out Hal with the forget me stick. Hal has a black book called "Best Villains Ever". Clever foreshadowing.

It is real and some people have noticed and talked about it before. Very few but still
dude the random "hello everybody my name is markiplier is so funny
I think while your point is entirely valid, the speed and energy thing is a bit too deep a dig at the movie's physics. Metroman could have surpassed the speed of light (which has far greater implications than just releasing a bunch of energy) for all we care. (edit: that would require him to cover a distance of 12 500 km within a frame, presuming 24 fps. Not impossible though not likely within a city)
Still, great work and another good take on "Superheroes are like nukes". Keep 'em coming.

Honestly in my opinion, I think Metroman spent waaaaaaaaay longer than a few hours in his super speed. The montage and the amount of self reflection he did, for me, points to him spending at least a year in his speed.
maybe not that long if his mind is also super where it could accelerate his thinking, though atleast a whole day sounds right
Maybe a few weeks to a month since he was reevaulating his whole outlook on life and figuring out what really made him happy.
@@concept5631 Yeah but also he read like a stack load of books, that does take a while

You have some good eyes wow, I never noticed him at the top of the statue
I never saw this detail and ngl, that is both excellent foreshadowing but also spooky as hell.

*Revealing his true self.*
It's always been my headcannon that super speed is not super speed, but time dilation, in every instance where the kinetic energy is not taken into account. IE, the "Speedster" experiences the flow of time at a different rate than everyone else, with their "speed" being a side-effect.
Made in Heaven, the final boss of Jojo's Bizzare Adventure showcases this very well. Made in Heaven can determine how time is perceived by making living things, non-living things, and the user experience the flow of time at different rates. Let's say that everything in the universe is moving 30x faster EXCEPT for everyone other than Pucci. If Pucci threw a baseball in accelerated time, it would appear 30x faster to everyone else, but normal to himself. At the same time, Pucci would see everyone other than himself moving at only 1/30th their normal speed, because time is relative to the observer.
This would make the baseball behave exactly as normal, since it isn't the velocity or distance that has changed, but TIME.

For those who are curious, Metroman was probably moving at about 1700x the speed of sound (580km/s or 360mi/s).
Using your metric of 5 hours of hyper speed and an average walking speed of 3 mph (in hyper speed time), we can assume he traveled about 15mi in 1/24 of a second. However, I think he likely traveled more than 15 miles (considering the size of most metropolitan cities).
For comparison, most space capsules on reentry are traveling 17,500mph. Our caped hero would have been going 1,300,000mph. Space capsules turn the air *into plasma* by friction. Asteroids collide with earth anywhere around 25,200mph to 90,000mph; they *liquify* the ground on impact. But don't worry though, he would only be able to heat up the surrounding air (smarter people who study aerodynamics or fluid dynamics could give a better answer at to how hot). Anything immediately close to him would either vaporize or ignite, but that shouldn't cause problems for anything beyond a few feet away from him.
According to all known estimates, it would be impossible for him to travel fast enough to 'ignite' the atmosphere (I'm referring to the fusion of nitrogen). This is assuming our atmosphere of course. The heat would transfer away faster than a sustained fusion reaction could keep up. Could fusion happen? Maybe... But any explosion caused by fusion wouldn't be worse than the explosion from collision.
All that is solely looking at HEAT but not kinetics.
Every time Metroman uses his hyper speed, he would cause a sonic boom. Not devastating, but very unpleasant to be around. Should he collide into something, it shouldn't cause an explosion greater than that of a 5 kiloton bomb (I used the kinetic energy formula for that, assuming a bodyweight of 250lbs). Nothing close to an atomic bomb, but a lot worse than most conventional bombs (the MOAB supposedly is an 11 ton bomb, so about 500x the blast of one of those).
What's interesting is that we don't see these sudden ignitions or loud sonic booms happening. Nor do we see him heat up (I'm talking greater than 4000°F). This does support your idea of phasing through matter. Fun stuff to think about...
Tl:dr - He couldn't kill all life on earth, but he could easily devastate entire cities within seconds.
4:36, The other option is the same force field that allows characters like these to fly also allows them to control the forces they generate or that are otherwise interacting with them, insulating themselves and anything they touch against the full force their movements would normally generate. Superman and Flash, in some continuities, generate similar fields from their bodies that allow them to regulate the force they generate or is exerted onto them, which for Superman also allows him to perform his enormous feats of strength without causing unwanted damage.
The issue is, these characters usually are depicted as possessing discipline to master their powers to the degree of being able to generate this field and mainly do so to avoid causing unwanted harm, but to someone who lacks that discipline or care, there isn’t much stopping them from using their power without restraint other than the fear of accidentally injuring themselves.

@@fluffymunnymanI dunno. Do you?

I wouldve loved this to be a take on how Titan shows that the more power someone has, the more likely it is they will just grow mad with power and use it to fuel their own agendas, indulging in their desires for no greater reason than "Because they can" now.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely, or rather, shows what you would become if you couldnt be held responsible.
Its kind of funny how uncle ben kept a person with super strength and infinite reflexes stressed out over school work and having a normal day to day life
I have one assumption as to why Metroman's insane speed didn't result in the world getting fucked within half a second...
> He controls the strength and the force every time he moves at such speeds.
Since Force increases with mass x acceleration, assume Metroman, before even taking a step or colliding with particles, slows down to prevent himself from leaving a mark(lol) in his wake.
In the movie, we can see him move in a fast, yet delicate manner; where his movements start with a burst, yet immediately transitions into slow, careful actions which may convey him forcibly stopping the force of his actions to prevent them from fucking up everything around him.
This would mean MetroMan is so strong, he can even carefully slow the force of his own weight multiplied by the speed of light to a stop without any effort.

-You want the crime syndicate to be super powered like Megamind and Metro man?

-You want to give Megamind a human kid sidekick? Have the film focused on how it’s an adult’s responsibility to keep kids away from harm and near the end show how the sidekick can provide help without getting into physical danger themselves

You know that saying "as kids, we love hero's, as adults understand villains"? For me, Hal was the other way around. When I was 17 (in 2010) I sympathised with Hal as I was bit of a loner and socially inept but now as a 30 year old grown man, I see Hal for the Schizoid monster he is 😅😅
I haven’t even watched the video but I HAD to come in to comment on the brilliance of that title. Amazing
If we assume Metroman went a distance of about 50km and then we divide by how fast it was.
We can calculate that Metroman went about 1250km/s.
But that doesn't explain the time for us, as he must have taken at least an hour or two to think about it.
if we assume in perspective, it was 2 hours for him but only 40ms for us, then he would have been travelling, it broke the calculator.
Basically, at relative time of 12 minutes, and the time it took for Metroman to move of 40ms, he must have travelled at the speed of light, but what I'm saying, is 120 minutes, meaning it would be closer to 3,000,000,000 metres a second.
At that point, it's not even a contest, the very atmosphere would have an absolute nuclear reaction as everything would be push up against each other so tightly it would be as though the entire area exploded. It would cause a chain reaction of nuclear fusion, destroying absolutely everything in its path, including the atmosphere and the earth itself, as everything would be so compacted by the explosions the end result would nothing more but dust and extremely large iron ball in the centre.
To say it would be destructive is so wrong its hilarious, it would as though the sun hit our planet and sustained its fusion.
Basically, imagine the explosion Metro man survived and imagine it on an even greater scale
Hold on, metro man was travelling 10x the speed of light!?
@@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735
Well, I thought about it and it would make sense as to why he seems to be in two places at once.
The lack of reflecting light is there anytime a person moves, it's why there's only one of us, we are reflecting light, into the person who is looking at us at our location. When we move, we no longer are there and so the light that should be hitting us and reflecting, no longer does, and instead we reflect light in our new location.
Metroman, doesn't disappear for that frame, merely becomes more transparent, this is a sign that the light did start to reflect just the empty building, but before all of the light reflecting Metroman hit our eyes, he was right back there. So, there is no chance he was slower than light, as, if he was, the light would have shown he was no longer there at all.
So, let's do the math.
Assuming the building is 100m at the projections, and that the camera is half a kilometre away, that would mean that the distance is about 509.1 metres. The speed of light is 299,792,498, so 0.5091 / 299,792,498 = 1.69817458e-9 seconds.
Basically 0.0016817458 seconds, that is how long Metroman disappeared in Megamind's world. If anyone wonders why no one noticed, it's because our reaction time is about 0.2 seconds. A little bit slower.
So, he's gone for that long, let's do the math again:
So, we take 299,792,498,000 and we take his time and it becomes:
299,792,498,000 x 0.0016817458 = 504174.774383 kilometres.
Oop.
Lemme quickly run that relativity again.
T = YT = T/SQRR 1 - V2/C2
So, Lorentz factor, that's the Y, trust me, it's weird.
So basically, it's one, divided by the square root of 1-square root of v squared and c squared. V is relative velocity. Obviously, we don't know this just yet, but, I can work back wards.
Basically, fill it out, you get:
1 / ¹1-89,875,542,000,000,000,000,000/89,875,542,000,000,000 = -0.000001
Metroman is so fucking powerful he broke math.
I'm not exaggerating, I use my tablet, I get a negative number when dividing, which is just flat out impossible, and my calculator just breaks. It just spits back, Math error.
But, for shits and giggles, let's continue, the Y is now, -0.000001
And, it breaks it again, the calculation for relative time versus real time is the same as figuring the Lorentz, however, the difference is now, you would substitute time with the one, you would divide with.
The equation would read as:
0.0016817458 / ¹1-89,875,542,000,000,000,000,000/89,875,542,000,000,000
So, i'll see if I can get it to throw an answer at me.
I actually got an answer, the answer was 1.681744959-3.
sure. So, I think that's the time it took for him.
I'm not 100% correct saying he was 3,000,000,000 a second, but he would be around 9-10x the speed of light.
I'm not exactly correct, but being that the earth would be screwed even at just light speed, it doesn't honestly matter if I'm one, or nine factors off, we're fucked either way lmao
Holy shit@@F.R.E.D.D2986
You can't be right about 10x light speed, because objects moving at the speed of light look like they experience no time
Matter of fact him moving a the speed of light doesn't make sense, space isn't shortened
This really puts into words what I've always felt about Titan as a character and I really like it
5:37 Speaking of physics, at the speed Metro Man is flying how do those babies not have shaken baby syndrome the moment their consecutively picked up by Metro Man
metroman goes ~ 300 miles per second according to some guy on reddit
the most trust worthy source a random guy on reddit
Ya know whats so interesting about this. If Megamind really wanted to, he could have just injected himself with Metroman's DNA and then fought titan in a more direct way. In fact. It probably would have been a lot easier and less risky to inject himself with the powers then use the diffuser. In fact, he could have even done it to minion for extra measure. And since he is much smarter he would stand a better chance again Tighten.
I think that he only had one sample back then.
And I am now sure if Metroman would have let Megamind get more of his DNA.
@@thebandofbastards4934 All he needs is one of metroman's hairs or something like that. And he didn't get permission from Metroman the first time.
The Hello Everybody My Name is Markiplier gag got me literally every single time
8:06 It’s 10 mins before 12am for me as I am watching this 😭 also great video
The markiplier gag feels like it should have gotten annoying or old, but for some reason, it was equally funny every time. I never realized Metroman sounds/looks a bit like Markiier. Now I can never unsee it XD
4:57 for some reason this reminds me of that one gumball scene where they pause time, and because of that, they tried to read a comic book, but they moved it so fast that the book lit on fire
If we say that that one frame flicker was 4 hours for metroman, then that would mean that he was moving at 99.9999999997% of the speed of light. That's pretty quick.
Maybe when Metroman is moving at super speed he’s near a white hole, so everything around him seems to be blocked and when he touches something it won’t explode because while he’s moving he interacts like the objects near his touch accelerate that bit to be touched in his perspective
We don't think of Titan when we think of Super Villains because he's not one. He's just a normal Villain as Mastermind points out.
Now that I think about it, Tighten (an by extension Hal as a person) are just a very immature and creepy version of your basic hero trope in movies and books. He thinks in this world of heroes and villains that it always plays out the same way. Hero beats bad guy and gets the girl, but he never moves past that mindset for the entire movie. As soon as he gets his powers his one goal is to get Roxanne but when he doesn’t he goes berserk showing that Hal is very childminded. When he doesn’t get what he wants he throws a tantrum
The only good thing about Titan is that his powers actually comes from dandruff taken off metroman's cape, so he actually only got a tiny fraction of the guy's powers
That moment when Metroman sips at super speed , entire planet were annihilated.
I love the fact that he chose music because that is the one thing he’s not good at he needs to learn it instead of just being able to do it.
Dude youre so cool!!! Editing and footage and your scenario just YESSSS
Great video!
From the title, to the theory, and the explanation.
Not to mention the delivery. It was hilarious too 🤣
..Hope this gets more views 💯
This was a great video, i knew titan was carless with his powwers but i definetly did not take into consideration how badly this could turn out for the earth
4:36 we also have to take into account he's had years upon years to control this ability and speed. He probably made an way to make the energy all collect at where the laser was fired, to further increase the believabilily of the explosion, and even where the skeleton would launch from: the perfect coverup would be to aim the skeleton right at the other observatory balcony.
To take a line of motivation from the Androids in DBZA, when asked why they are destroying cities like they're going out on a joy ride, they reply. "The question isn't why, kid, it's why not? Whose gonna stop us."
When you're just better than everyone else, and their isn't one person to check you, why not just do what you want? Scary to think about.
That Vsauce music is such a good refference, u earned my respect and a subscriber
2:35 I smell a Film Theory…
Bro you’re going places, if you reach one million you owe me 5 bucks and remember me!
2:20 This is some nice information for the power scalers.
There is a quote from the Dresden files I like. About how evil acts in small bursts but evil is constantly desctuctive. And Titan is not the evilest hero but he is the stupidest
Titan, for me, encompasses Hannah Arendt's theory of the 'Banality of Evil' how normal people can have immense levels of power (not as literally as Titan) and through a lack of self-awareness, combined with corruption, greed and often fear they then cause extreme levels of damage and harm. Normal people with too much power and no responsibility = corrupt and extremely destructive (evil) actions.
Great video. Metroman is such a good character, and this film was so good too. Good thing that legacy was never tarnished.
0:55 say that again.
Does metro man’s power taper off as the film ends? Seems like it kind of starts to fade away
That's kinda is a low blow...@@neech1311
IM A 🦁🍕🐓
Really great video, the first megamind movie is what we needed in the future with its sequel and series, but seeing this made me realize. Its also scary how smart Megamind is because he was able to make a serum that was able to replicate metroman powers with the smaaaaaaaaaalest sample of DNA ever and to simply give it to someone with no side effects. Maybe if we took his sillyness away he would be a real threat to metroman
Really glad that even after that awful "sequel" people still recognize this movie's brilliance.
I don't know how or why, but everytime MetroMan would go to speak and instead I hear "Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier!" it would somehow catch me off guard
Hal can't really access the super speed. Megamind's finishing move would have only secured his death if that were the case.
It seems like metroman can travel at 432,000 times the speed of light, or make everything around him move in tiny circles close to the speed of light for time dialation to give that difference in perspective.
