Megamind (2010)
Though he is the most-brilliant supervillain the world has known, Megamind (Will Ferrell) is the least-successful. Thwarted time and again by heroic Metro Man (Brad Pitt), Megamind is more surprised than anyone when he actually manages to defeat his longtime enemy. But without Metro Man, Megamind has no purpose in life, so he creates a new opponent, who quickly decides that it's more fun to be a bad guy than a hero.

My headcanon is that Megamind saw the "Read words, kids" Metroman cutout and planned to create the illiteracy beam in response.
Megamind: "Hahaha, now kids CAN'T read words!"
Metro Man: "Uh... yes they can. They just won't know what they mean."
Megamind: "Oh. Maybe a blindness beam...?"
Metro Man: "Whoa now..."
Megamind: "Too far?"
This is a genuinely funny headcanon and I accept it wholeheartedly.
"Why not the dyslexia beam?!"

@@CaptainMichaelJCaboose *dyslexia beam?* I feel bad for laughing now:)
MetroMan is actually one of the most nuanced characters in animation.
He knows he turned MegaMind into what he is, but he also knows it’s all just an act. But he’s the only one who knows that.
He can’t just quit, everyone will think he’d simply abandoned them. But putting up this act for the rest of his life just sounds horrible to him.
So he chooses to fake his death, as that’s the only real way he could retire, and he puts his trust in MegaMind, not only to realize that he doesn’t need to be evil, but also to realize that he can be the new hero.
And I think the critical part of understanding MetroMan’s character, comes down to his choice of pursuing music as his new career. He’s terrible at it. It’s the one thing his powers can’t help him improve at. Meaning that any fans he gets, he’ll have earned himself, and not through the fact that he was born with the ability to fly.
I think people just don’t give MetroMan the respect he deserves. Yes, he abandoned the town to MegaMind, but as we see, MegaMind quickly grew bored of it, and MetroMan knew he would.

Unfortunately they stopped making movies like Megamind because they just didn't sell. It doesn't help Megamind came out around in close proximity to Despicable Me which folks latched onto more.
It sucks because Megamind is really mature and intelligent for a kids movie. So naturally Despicable Me was the popular one.

Y'know, it's a nice change of pace to watch them reacting to a movie they genuinely really like.
Actually, since Bren referenced Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, do that.
It's been a while since they did that in movie reviews.

@marcoscolga24 Thanks my fellow internet person!
@@invasionanimationkids1486 I typically hate people who just advertise themselves in the comments but at least your upfront about it so you do you internet person
If you look at metro man during the pause for silence, you will notice that he disappears for a split second which makes sense since this is the part of the story where he uses his super speed to reflect on his life
He also briefly appears behind Megamind
One of the small details I love is that Roxanne’s dress slowly changes throughout the movie. At the start She is seen wearing mostly red, the color of metro man. In the middle when she is conflicted about mega mind she’s seen wearing mostly purple. To represent going from metro man to mega mind. And at the end she’s in blue like mega mind. It’s one of the more noticeable ones but I just think it’s cool.
Wow I never noticed this before :0
Ohhh
red is not the color of metro man
@@atlassolid5946 yeah, but it is practically the opposite of blue- blue being megamind.

1: Megamind is a genuinely great movie, and I'm glad it's getting the recognition it deserves recently

I dunno, it's pretty refreshing seeing them do this with a movie they actually like.
True
If you think about it, metro man is really powerful. A single hair of his dna was able to give titan the power to destroy a city, so imagine how truly powerful he is. Metro man is also insanely fast, as he had enough time to read a book and rethink his entire life before megamind could finish his word.
The fact that Minion is voiced by Ian Hawke/Mr Show (David Cross) is incredibly amazing.
“Hey, back off man. This is Dave Seville”
Minion, the space stepmom herself.
And megamind is Will Ferrell
@@Piper331 So basically Buddy in the form of a blue Charmx style alien and Ian Hawke literally named one of Gru's henchmen
You could've just said David Cross bro
I just love the tiny detail that Hal thinks his superhero name is “Tighten”, and not “Titan”, a gag that’s only shown to the audience, when he lasers his name into the city, unless you watch the movie with black-boxed subtitles.
That's another thing is that Megamind's "hero" vision was "Titan", his ideals of what makes a good superhero, but Hal made himself into a villain instead, and "Tighten" is the name of that villain.
Even the credits say tighten
The subtitles even alternate between spelling it tighten and titan
But he used the "Titan" spelling when laying out that message for Roxanne
@@NerdMiGerd I think that was Megamind. It was his plans and Hal didn't know about those.
The movie actually takes place in Michigan. You can see when the laser form the satellite shoots down at the observatory, it lands in Michigan
That explains a lot tbh.
@@lilylopnco what do you mean
"There is no Easter Bunny, there is no Tooth Fairy, and there is not Queen of England!"

Megamind is one of my all time favourite Dreamworks movies. It’s truly an amazing movie. It takes the idea of nurture vs nature to a whole different level that’s what makes it great. Story is incredible and everything is just well done.

Fun fact: during the scene where ya boy metro man goes on about being weak to copper, he can be seen behind megamind for a single damn frame as a vague white blur.

The thing is, while Josiah doesn't talk often anymore, his jokes are the funniest in the video. Jude talks the most, but most of his jokes fall flat.
16:32 This line aged waaaaaay too well
I love the fact that a skeleton was the reason why everyone thought metroman died. Like I'm not a explosion expert, but when ur in an explosion of that magnitude, wouldn't you just... explode or be burned away into nothing? Like how did no one in metrocity go "wait a minute"
His bones are strong
He drunk enough milk

I mean the dude is a superhero so
Cuz he's an alien
megamind is so unironically great
I hate how they didn't include in 15:56 that he shows up in his invisible car saying "I can explain!" but one of his "No you can't" signs is like right there behind him on the right most side lol
Never noticed this before but the prison says "The Metrocity Prison. For the Criminally gifted"
Megamind has my favorite and funniest explosion in animated films I’ve ever seen. When megamind blows up the copper dome.
What about the nacho chip explosion from over the hedge?
Watch this: people are gonna ask you to cover The LEGO Ninjago Movie expecting to get upset about all the inconsistencies with the TV series, but you'll be like, "Guys, this movie is funny and we've never even watched the series."
lol
I would love them to review The Lego Ninjago Movie. And I agree that it’s likely that they never seen the series it was based on.
The series was good in my opinion
@@Coco_1958 Same. I binged the pre-movie stuff recently and it's a really good action drama series. Now I think people should see what they do keep from the series that's in the movie instead of what they left.
@@ComicAuzi okay well. because you mentioned it and i have watched the show since it started:
1) wu & garmadon being brothers/their overall designs - and arguably making their dynamic way more entertaining
2) the elemental powers (though they're like. barely used)
3) lloyd being the green ninja; however there's no "chosen one" tied to it (and no powers bcos it'd defeat the point of his character arc so it's understandable)
4) there's 6 ninja and all of the characters are IN THEORY/from a rough glance the same (i will, however, never forgive them for what they did to zane)
5) garmadon being the main villain and having an army to attack ninjago with (shark people / skullkin/serpentine/stone army)
6) the ages of the ninja, despite how undetermined they are in the show
7) the ninja are the sole saviors of ninjago city
8) lloyd starts out as an antagonist/hated by most people
9) uh idk the bounty ???? i guess??
that's literally all i can think of lmao everything else is wildly different. there isn't even any spinjitzu in the movie when the show (at the time of the movie coming out) was called MASTERS OF SPINJITZU. idk man im not even mad about the design changes, it's the fact that it's called the Ninjago Movie but the show & movie ninja feel like complete different characters if you really think about it. i know the whole "being separate from canon" is because the show is Very story-driven and it'd be hard to keep it completely canon - but the mlpfim movie did that and it was very good AND was referenced in the show post-movie release! what is TLNM's excuse!!!!!
idk man at the end of the day i like TLNM for what it is, because it IS funny and an overall good movie, but it is absolutely not superior/better than/equal to the show in any way to me :/ ESPECIALLY when the movie focuses so heavily on lloyd that the other ninja are basicaly shoved to the side (cole has NINE MINUTES of total screentime) even though the original 4 ninja were the Main characters at the beginning up until like season 3 or 4. so to see them, the guys i grew up watching, sidelined is just . it doesn't sit well with me lol

13:02 Death by foldout bed is actually a valid way of death in The Sims

THAT MOVIE WAS THE FIRST ONE I EVER CRIED FROM. NOT JUST LIKE EYE WATERY BUT FULL FLEDGED BAWLING. I was like eight and it traumatized me
the most evil thing i can think of is leaving the oreo in milk for too long and letting it mush
*and he multiplied it by 6*
9:40 if you look at the shots down at earth from megamind's satelite, you can see that metro city is located in michigan, and technically there is no evidence against the possibility that this is detroit
For the question at 9:33, Metro City is located in Michigan, which can be seen in the shot where Megamind's satellite is about to fire.
true
I think its just their version of Detroit
The funniest thing is that copper was actually the main metal used at the end of the stone age so metroman still isnt safe 8:16
If you guys *REALLY* want a cursed movie, watch 'Space Chimps'.
Oh my GOD. That movie made me so goddamn uncomfortable. Just the whole thing. Especially the alien designs and the fact that the guy chimp keeps hitting on the girl chimp even though she's uninterested, but of course she ends up falling for him later which sends the terrible message to young men that "she's not saying no, she's actually interested in you and just pretending she isn't. Keep trying and she'll come around".
There was a movie I watched as a kid called "Adventures of a Teenage Dragonslayer" a low-budget kids' movie where I had no idea what the plot was even about. If you guys could make a video on that, that would be cool.
