Great power comes with great corruption i guess But for metroman, its just fucking mere mortals telling him to do this and that Because he is “the only one” capable of
Metro man had the commitment to play the role of hero for so many years. Compromising his own wants for the sake of others. Invariably mature of him to step back and say, "This was fun and all, but it just isn't for me."
Wrong it would've been more mature to accept the fact that the people's safety and well being is more important than the individuals wants or needs. This is why police and firefighters risk their lives constantly, to protect the people. Should metroman be able to retire someday? Maybe. But to call it quits when you're still physically able is to abandon the lives of countless innocents. He abandoned his city to be enslaved by his psychotic arch nemesis, and the only reason people don't look at him in a bad light is because megamind turned out to be a decent guy. He didn't even bother to find someone to replace himself to protect the city. He just left it to rot.
@ApolloBobTom defend themselves with what? Megamind is virtually unstoppable without a literal superman to stop him, if he was evil he'd have enslaved or genocided the entire city in 1 day with no one to stop him all because metro man wanted to write songs instead of save lives.
Have you experienced being nominated and voted to be a leader for a thesis research and is "expected" to act like one? And when its not working at all they all blame YOU, it's all your fault. If Metroman somehow fails to save a life, how will the citizens of Metro City react? They will blame him for it. Not the firemen, police, or even the able-bodied bystanders who didn't tried to help, they "expected" him to be able to just because he's super.
@@rhaven090 1. metroman can move faster than the speed of light, he can literally save anyone at any time faster than the earth turns, it was shown in the movie that time basically stops. So unless he chooses not to it's literally impossible for him to be unable to save someone, assuming he was made aware of it in the first place. 2. You're trying to pull a "what if" argument that literally doesnt apply to the situation. he didn't quit because he faced failure, he quit because he was bored. 3. If you're going to quit you should at least try to find a replacement, OR deal with some of the worlds issues before you leave. Why did he let megamind run rampant and take over the city? He could've killed megamind THEN retired, not after. He got lucky that megamind wasn't evil.
I like how Metroman subconciously knew that Megamind was exactly like him; just filling an empty void with a temporary thrill in the place of purpose. Megamind just wanted to feel like he belonged. Metroman just wanted to make others happy. What better way to find belonging than to use your gifts to help contribute to the world? What better way to bring happiness than to make good art? Metroman really did save the day, in the end.
Bro you need to realize that this is fiction, even though it portrays a message of reality it just isn’t how it is in real life. Let’s take for example your typical job that you don’t like. There are responsibilities which comes if you want to quit the job so you need to face those responsibilities or just not quit the job and the latter is often the solution that people take because they are afraid of facing those responsibilities. (btw you still have the choice but in megamind this hero had almost no responsibility for his quitting of his « job »)

Most of the time after learning about OP superhero you kinda forget about them since they're nothing like you but you like what they stood for. Metroman is one of those few superheroes you can actualy feel the humanity with him just from how he has mental struggles too even though he is seen as perfect by everyone.
I love that, for a children movie, this was more mature writing than 99% of other superhero movies. The movie is so deep about so many things. From Tiatan's arrogance, to the world choosing the hero and the vilain, trapping both in a role they didnt really want. It shows that relationships and roles made in lies and pretaken conclusions will only lead to failure. Metro man wasnt a hero. He would save people yes, but he didnt have the RESPOSABILITY in his heart to be a hero. Eventually, he decided to hang the cape. Not only its played of as a good gag, its actually pretty conflictently moral. Most superhero stpries tend to show you two sides, one which is right, and one that is wrong. The line usually is pretty clear and undesrtandable. Although some things that are objectively bad are admitedly so (another positive point. Trying to justify evil acts as not evil because this and that doesnt sit well with me), this twist is deeper than that. It showcases a choice of your own to think about. What would you do if you were metro man? Would you take resposability to save people you barely know forever, having no personal life but to fight the same villain again and again, or would you chase your dreams? And it does so without actually saying what is right or wrong. I personally think the good guy thing to do is to take on the resposability, using that power you were born with to save others. But i know me of all people that say that wouldnt be a superhero. Hell, if had all those powers the world was in shambels.
don't forget Roxane's role of starting the main concepts of the movie, right of the bat she not only clarifies how megamind isn't dangerous and tries to act evil(like petting a robot to look like the great grandfather) and how metro man saving her doesn't mean she felt in love, both aspects that are the foundation to the development of the whole thing
He honestly deserves it, he really didn't have a choice he was truly just obligated to be a hero, yes, he did enjoy some parts of it, he was happy helping people, but not everyone can fully commit to the job, being a hero is a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week job and even though he was the only hero Metro City knew, as he said, good will rise up again someday
It's actually really appropriate for Megamind specifically to hear at this point. Yeah, he and Roxanne chastise him for leaving the city behind when he did, but this is exactly what Megamind needed to hear right now, even if he didn't realize it until later. Everyone can choose who they want to be, even people as absurd as superheroes and supervillains. Megamind chooses to be the hero he thought he could never be, and Metroman becomes the simple musician he never realized he wanted to be.
It helped that he knew that the only reason megamind was a villain was because of him and how others treated him. Removing himself from the equation was the best solution to stopping megamind for good
Yeah that’s why he kept doing the hero villain thing with him for so long cuz he knows megamind is not actually evil. If it was someone that straight up go on serial murder rampage Metroman would’ve killed him immediately
@@selfimprovement5873 u don’t know that. He probably didn’t kill because with his hyper speed he could arrest anybody. But he never stated he won’t kill
One of my favorite things about this scene is him just being so fast that he just walks while everything else is frozen in time, he's the perfect superman spoof I've seen just because this is the kind of asspulls superman writers pull all the time but then we're just expected to take anything that happens to him seriously while this movie perfectly explains it by having their fights be a game, with him being able to stop it in a second but still choosing to play, it gives such dimension to both of them.
One of the most realistic character of a man born to be a hero. He realizes that he wants a life where he can do what he really wants and not what people wanted on him. Also, he has a really fast speed for doing so much in a millisecond
The movie reflects how it was all sunshine and rainbows for MetroMan, but in reality there were people who will go the extra mile to magnify any mishaps he had and crush him spiritually and emotionally. Many still do today, waiting for our civic and military heroes to misstep so they can be crushed and told 'See? You're nothing. You can't do anything right'.
That's how it is with humans. Once you become a famous enough person, any perceived mistake you make is magnified way out of proportion. It's so stupid.
@@SimplyDuker Wouldn't be so bad if it were possible to make people realize that their entire existance is not at all like they perceive it, but alas, they are either too dumb, too indoctrinated or just outright too ignorant to ever humor such thoughts.
I just realized, the way he describes all of this, talking being stuck, everyone making choices for him, this being a lifetime gig and also not being able to quit easily sounds eerily like being part of some ciminal organization or mafia group or something similar. Added that superheroes also have like so much suffering tragedies and trauma connected to them. And you are FORCED into this life almost definitely by others or because they guilttrip and manipulate so much into it. Im of course talking now about heroes from like marvel and dc, metromans world is basically an utopia version of a superhero world.
@@akhilnair1137 Wrong, he left the city to a dork who knows nothing but being a villain because that's the only thing *said city* taught him to be. Don't ever pretend Megamind is Metroman's problem alone, it's the collective effort of the society that bullies him into being a villain. Funny how that works eh
The most beautiful thing about Megamind is the fact that Metroman is not the protagonist's foil just because he's the good guy, but rather because they both started in chaotic circumstances that led them to follow the path that was designed for them by other people, while longing for the subconscious need to write their own stories. He's not just the good guy, he's a normal person that was coerced into becoming the hero the city needed, the other side of the coin of what Megamind is.
People dont want a hero a saviour no all they want is a nanny who ready to pamper them clean up their mess or helping them 24/7. "Oh u want to quit how dare u".
@@thedarklightskincan't help someone if they don't want help. Even when Megamind rule the city, everyone carried on as normal, going to their day job like nothing happen. If not titan incident, Megamind did a better job ruling the city then any politicians. With the titans incident, Megamind at least took responsibility to fix his own mistakes, unlike politicians.
I have a theory that he probably faked his death not because he didn't want to be a hero anymore, but to make MegaMind into a hero. He knew that MegaMind would feel miserable without him so he would make a new hero to fight but he would give the power to the wrong person, so he would have to stop him. And in the end, Metro Man's plan worked.
As someone who has seen Megamind 283 times, this movie truly is one of the most emotionally understanding kids movies I've seen. Instead of being like most kids movies and using fart jokes and random, absurdity to make little kids laugh. Megamind told a story about the nature of a person, the nurture of a person, and getting to choose who you are. Megamind isn't the best movie ever, but it's a pretty damn good one.
other movies would've just made Metroman the villain. but here, Metroman isn't evil or a jerk. he's basically realizing that what he did throughout all his life was just to play a role. and he got sick of it. and he also encouraged Megamind to break out of his role, as well.
for real like with his super speed neutralizing titan was like bringing out the trash but I guess he was always secretly looking out for them but made sure to not show up so megamind could find his true destiny
That's why he didn't even fought back or dodge when Roxanne was throwing things and getting mad at him. He knew she deserve to be hella mad, but he's already burn out to care for others.
I remember someone pointing this out but Metroman and Megamind both treat this whole back and forth like a game. Megamind wants to be a villain but has no real villain aspirations, once he wins he just has no clue what to do next. In a similar vein Metroman is playing the hero but mostly for everyone else’s sake. He knows Megamind would step up because Megamind and Metroman are basically best friends who playing a super powered game of “cops and robbers” every day. No one knows the other better than themselves and he knows his best villain friend will do what’s right even if the villain doesn’t realize it himself.
People judge Metroman for just abandoning the city, but he probably realized that the whole cycle of constant fighting and destruction will eventually stop after he quit. And he was right
Merto man whole theme is equal to "Money doesn’t buy happiness" Merto man has all the power in the world one could have, but couldn't find happiness. His fans only like him for power, not him personally. When choosing a new career, he pick music which is challenging for him which he has to work and practice for to be come good. That working out from the challenge is something bring him happiness. If he succeeded in music, people would like him as equals to his music, something he had work on, not something just handed to him.
Something neat I noticed about this is he has this whole mental self check, all while everyone else is frozen. Showing that his mental health is only seen by him, everyone else in metro doesn't notice his personal side, only that he is a superhero for metro.
This movie is an absolute MASTERPIECE and tells the hidden stories of the Hero, The Villian and those who want ultimate power soloy for selfishness while being hilarious!
For reference, a regular blink in the movie lasts about 3-8 frames. Metroman's transparent figure from the superspeed lasted 1 frame, after using his superspeed to think about life, for more likely a few hours in his perception. Take a moment to think about that.
Good thing that sht applies to super heroes only. Otherwise that quote would be absolute BS. Its like if you're mad wealthy your obligation and responsibility is to help the poor like wtf?
@@HentsSauceIronically this is a real thing, too. If you were a known rich person on the internet there would dweebs demanding you to donate to charities and if you ever spent your money on something for you wanted for yourself they'd complain that you could have used it for something more selfless. I've seen it happen before. There's people who complain about MrBeast being rich and not helping sincerely, and that guy is pretty generous as is. Now imagine how much they'd annoy a rich guy who just doesn't care. Whether it's selfish or immoral or not doesn't matter. It's HIS money, not yours. He is entitled to do whatever the fuck he wants with it.
@@dumblenutz5561 I mean it should be a morally obligated thing. Like you have the ability to help others, but you just look the other way, despite having the wealth in power to change a life.
@@HentsSauce I mean no one is going around saying you have to give 65% of your wealth to other people. They’re just saying help out because you can. Yunno chip in and play your part to help other people who are less fortunate.
@@thedarklightskin Morality is subjective, and thus, not worth seriously caring for. Logic however, is not subjective. Fact is, there is very little to gain from being a charitable person. Honor and Virtue do not pay bills, nor do they necessarily improve your life. It is merely an emotionally charged concept made by impressionable humans, for impressionable humans.
Now I realise... People want they want you to be.... But what if I choose what I want to be... Thanks for the edit, that eventually makes me feel better
Metroman : Want to be a musician, life told him to be a hero, do the thing to become a musician Megaman : Want to be a hero, life told him to be a vilain, do the thing to become a hero (mechievous one for sure but still a hero) Titan : want to get laid, expect it to fall in his plate, does nothing to get it, end up in prison Very deep lessons that film told me : who give a crap about following what others want you to be, be what you wanna be shoot dang
The idea that there is an earth out there where Song Man (that way he can keep his logo) a mildly successful musician sometimes saves people at super speed so they don't know it was him, as he lives a comfy life of his own making. While the Lex Luthor of that universe became the hero of Metropolis. Really is kinda cool if you think about it.
Metroman is the real homie of megamind,bro could've killed him several times in a second but he knows what to do ,man i love metroman one of the fav childhood hero
I was fairly young when this film came out and I never really got round to watching it - but lately it's been all over the internet and I gotta say it sounds amazing. But I still never got round to watching it. This finally hit the nail on the head I gotta see this film
I never understood why he did it until I rewatched it and understood why he did. It was reasonable and it was such a deep thought that ties it all together
I love his character. He truly made his life his own. Though, as a kid I was confused and upset at him cus like 'whyyy???' 😂 Now we all understand why.
I think its interesting that he brings up his own ability to have a choice here. He mentions about how he feels pressured and constrained by society but isnt that true of megamind as well? Except megamind has seemingly much less of a choice. He's forever a blue guy with a big head, and he cant just attempt to pivot into something else instantly because thats probably not changing.
It’s not. If he was beyond light speed, thought he wouldn’t be faded out for frame during the billboard scene(which is a cold detain by the film makers), the fact for a spilt second he gone which means camera pick it up and that not beyond light speed. Not only that but time isn’t freeze, it moving very slow and while it not slow motion, you can see the people move but only barley.

I also like how Metro understands that Megamind isn't a bad person in the slightest near the end.
Well he's been fighting him for years and eventually never meant any harm to anyone.
I guess he always knew since he gets to deal with megamind escaping prison followed by a big trap every other day
They were friends since childhood. Bro knew why he was that way

Hands down, funniest comment I've seen here.
Listen, he just wanted to see if his body could take it.
It's a superman reference 🎉
Funniest shit I’ve read in a long while
He would enjoy it.
Out of all the metro man edits this one is definitely my favorite
My also.
The fact that he faked his death was one of the best plot twist of my entire childhood after Darth Vader being Luke’s father
This scene just passes by when you're watching the movie, but rewatching it isolated like this, you really gotta admit he was saying some faccs
ññññññññññññññññññññññññ
It's actually really appropriate for Megamind specifically to hear at this point. Yeah, he and Roxanne chastise him for leaving the city behind when he did, but this is exactly what Megamind needed to hear right now, even if he didn't realize it until later. Everyone can choose who they want to be, even people as absurd as superheroes and supervillains. Megamind chooses to be the hero he thought he could never be, and Metroman becomes the simple musician he never realized he wanted to be.
why tf did they make a shitty sequel to this masterpiece
i hate the sequel already
If it's not made by dreamworks its not cannon
@@David280GGAgreed
What sequel?
i think we can all agree the sequel is not canon. they didn't even have the original va's to voice them
Megamind is a classical masterpiece that ages like fine wine
He had an entire day to think about his life in just a second
Did you see all those books he read? Bro was having a week long mid life crisis at minimum.
he did it way less than a second.
It helped that he knew that the only reason megamind was a villain was because of him and how others treated him. Removing himself from the equation was the best solution to stopping megamind for good
You mean reforming him
I do.@@runningbetweenspaces
Yeah that’s why he kept doing the hero villain thing with him for so long cuz he knows megamind is not actually evil. If it was someone that straight up go on serial murder rampage Metroman would’ve killed him immediately
@@turkeykent3719Metroman doesn't kill.
@@selfimprovement5873 u don’t know that. He probably didn’t kill because with his hyper speed he could arrest anybody. But he never stated he won’t kill
Bro is from another planet and still is more human than actual humans.
One of my favorite things about this scene is him just being so fast that he just walks while everything else is frozen in time, he's the perfect superman spoof I've seen just because this is the kind of asspulls superman writers pull all the time but then we're just expected to take anything that happens to him seriously while this movie perfectly explains it by having their fights be a game, with him being able to stop it in a second but still choosing to play, it gives such dimension to both of them.
Probably the first literally me character that's actually mentally sane, and a good role model
How tf is metroman a "literally me" character 🤣🤣
@@redblue5140 feeling stuck and going through the motions is a pretty easy thing to relate to
One of the most realistic character of a man born to be a hero. He realizes that he wants a life where he can do what he really wants and not what people wanted on him. Also, he has a really fast speed for doing so much in a millisecond
I wonder how hard this hit the adults in the theatre when they thought they were in for a simple kids movie.
When you realise that same things happen every day, and you're already tired of everything.
The movie reflects how it was all sunshine and rainbows for MetroMan, but in reality there were people who will go the extra mile to magnify any mishaps he had and crush him spiritually and emotionally.
Many still do today, waiting for our civic and military heroes to misstep so they can be crushed and told 'See? You're nothing. You can't do anything right'.
That's how it is with humans. Once you become a famous enough person, any perceived mistake you make is magnified way out of proportion. It's so stupid.

I just realized, the way he describes all of this, talking being stuck, everyone making choices for him, this being a lifetime gig and also not being able to quit easily sounds eerily like being part of some ciminal organization or mafia group or something similar. Added that superheroes also have like so much suffering tragedies and trauma connected to them. And you are FORCED into this life almost definitely by others or because they guilttrip and manipulate so much into it. Im of course talking now about heroes from like marvel and dc, metromans world is basically an utopia version of a superhero world.

Yes. Because titan used his like an ass. There's responsibility is restraint.
@@ljpal18 yeah, and metroman decided to not use them to save people at all, and allowed for someone like titan to come into power.
@@akhilnair1137 um metroman saved the people so much they made monuments to him. Even spider man retired. It's not forever.
@@ljpal18 yes, and then he gave up and let the city he was protecting all this time to be taken over by two super villains.
@@akhilnair1137
Wrong, he left the city to a dork who knows nothing but being a villain because that's the only thing *said city* taught him to be. Don't ever pretend Megamind is Metroman's problem alone, it's the collective effort of the society that bullies him into being a villain. Funny how that works eh
The most beautiful thing about Megamind is the fact that Metroman is not the protagonist's foil just because he's the good guy, but rather because they both started in chaotic circumstances that led them to follow the path that was designed for them by other people, while longing for the subconscious need to write their own stories. He's not just the good guy, he's a normal person that was coerced into becoming the hero the city needed, the other side of the coin of what Megamind is.
When your bro stops enjoying a game you both started playing together
😢
1:09 his laugh is perfect 😂😂😂
People dont want a hero a saviour no all they want is a nanny who ready to pamper them clean up their mess or helping them 24/7.
"Oh u want to quit how dare u".
Can you blame them for getting mad?
@@thedarklightskincan't help someone if they don't want help.
Even when Megamind rule the city, everyone carried on as normal, going to their day job like nothing happen. If not titan incident, Megamind did a better job ruling the city then any politicians. With the titans incident, Megamind at least took responsibility to fix his own mistakes, unlike politicians.
@@bloodysimile4893 man you really don’t like politicians
@@thedarklightskinWho does?
I have a theory that he probably faked his death not because he didn't want to be a hero anymore, but to make MegaMind into a hero. He knew that MegaMind would feel miserable without him so he would make a new hero to fight but he would give the power to the wrong person, so he would have to stop him. And in the end, Metro Man's plan worked.
One must imagine Metroman happy
As someone who has seen Megamind 283 times, this movie truly is one of the most emotionally understanding kids movies I've seen. Instead of being like most kids movies and using fart jokes and random, absurdity to make little kids laugh. Megamind told a story about the nature of a person, the nurture of a person, and getting to choose who you are. Megamind isn't the best movie ever, but it's a pretty damn good one.
Holy everloving god...
Bro is so strong he took the full concentrated power of the sun and said "He never felt so alive."
I always loved the fact that Metroman knew Megamind wouldn't hurt Roxanne, even if he chose to lose.
other movies would've just made Metroman the villain.
but here, Metroman isn't evil or a jerk. he's basically realizing that what he did throughout all his life was just to play a role. and he got sick of it. and he also encouraged Megamind to break out of his role, as well.
As a kid, I never understood why Metroman faked his death, but when I grew older, I understood why Metroman faked his death
The most unbeatable character in fiction history
Leaving the city with megamind was selfish. But not evil.
for real like with his super speed neutralizing titan was like bringing out the trash but I guess he was always secretly looking out for them but made sure to not show up so megamind could find his true destiny
That's why he didn't even fought back or dodge when Roxanne was throwing things and getting mad at him. He knew she deserve to be hella mad, but he's already burn out to care for others.
I remember someone pointing this out but Metroman and Megamind both treat this whole back and forth like a game. Megamind wants to be a villain but has no real villain aspirations, once he wins he just has no clue what to do next. In a similar vein Metroman is playing the hero but mostly for everyone else’s sake. He knows Megamind would step up because Megamind and Metroman are basically best friends who playing a super powered game of “cops and robbers” every day. No one knows the other better than themselves and he knows his best villain friend will do what’s right even if the villain doesn’t realize it himself.
So the decision of 1 man about his fate is selfish, but the decision of a society about the fate of 1 man isn’t selfish ?
@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 i never said it wasnt.
People judge Metroman for just abandoning the city, but he probably realized that the whole cycle of constant fighting and destruction will eventually stop after he quit. And he was right
This the type of stuff that the sequel is gonna miss out on…
Merto man whole theme is equal to "Money doesn’t buy happiness"
Merto man has all the power in the world one could have, but couldn't find happiness. His fans only like him for power, not him personally.
When choosing a new career, he pick music which is challenging for him which he has to work and practice for to be come good. That working out from the challenge is something bring him happiness. If he succeeded in music, people would like him as equals to his music, something he had work on, not something just handed to him.
I love when the villain is the main character but the hero isnt the villain and is actually genuinely a really good guy
when I was a kid, I was heartbroken to find out metroman did this. As an adult, I can relate to him and understand why he did this.
DreamWorks created one of the most powerful characters without even realizing
Agree.... x}
Something neat I noticed about this is he has this whole mental self check, all while everyone else is frozen. Showing that his mental health is only seen by him, everyone else in metro doesn't notice his personal side, only that he is a superhero for metro.
As a kid I didn't even understand the meaning of the movie. I thought Metroman didn't want to use his powers. Now I know, he just wanted a freedom
The hero homelander always dreamed to be
This movie is an absolute MASTERPIECE and tells the hidden stories of the Hero, The Villian and those who want ultimate power soloy for selfishness while being hilarious!
This edit makes the speech hit different 🙏
What's cool is this all eventually led to mega mind reinventing himself as well.
For reference, a regular blink in the movie lasts about 3-8 frames.
Metroman's transparent figure from the superspeed lasted 1 frame, after using his superspeed to think about life, for more likely a few hours in his perception.
Take a moment to think about that.
Bro just casually puts out one of the most OP speed feats in fiction.
With great power, comes great responsibility.
This guy with greatest power toss the responsibility and i can't blame him 😂
Good thing that sht applies to super heroes only. Otherwise that quote would be absolute BS. Its like if you're mad wealthy your obligation and responsibility is to help the poor like wtf?
@@HentsSauceIronically this is a real thing, too. If you were a known rich person on the internet there would dweebs demanding you to donate to charities and if you ever spent your money on something for you wanted for yourself they'd complain that you could have used it for something more selfless.
I've seen it happen before. There's people who complain about MrBeast being rich and not helping sincerely, and that guy is pretty generous as is. Now imagine how much they'd annoy a rich guy who just doesn't care.
Whether it's selfish or immoral or not doesn't matter. It's HIS money, not yours. He is entitled to do whatever the fuck he wants with it.
@@dumblenutz5561 I mean it should be a morally obligated thing. Like you have the ability to help others, but you just look the other way, despite having the wealth in power to change a life.
@@HentsSauce I mean no one is going around saying you have to give 65% of your wealth to other people. They’re just saying help out because you can. Yunno chip in and play your part to help other people who are less fortunate.
@@thedarklightskin Morality is subjective, and thus, not worth seriously caring for.
Logic however, is not subjective. Fact is, there is very little to gain from being a charitable person. Honor and Virtue do not pay bills, nor do they necessarily improve your life.
It is merely an emotionally charged concept made by impressionable humans, for impressionable humans.
Metroman even tho undefeatable can almost be called the most human character in fiction
This is the definition of "disappear for 3 months and come back 10 years ahead"
I feel like I can’t watch this scene without this song anymore, really makes it so much more dramatic
the fact this guy goes so fast that time is literally still for him is insane
Actually my favorite song of editing is perfect girl
Out of all superheroes, Metroman feels so human.
Lmao the fact he could’ve just stopped Megamimd, with his super speed at any moment.
Now I realise... People want they want you to be.... But what if I choose what I want to be... Thanks for the edit, that eventually makes me feel better
Metroman : Want to be a musician, life told him to be a hero, do the thing to become a musician
Megaman : Want to be a hero, life told him to be a vilain, do the thing to become a hero (mechievous one for sure but still a hero)
Titan : want to get laid, expect it to fall in his plate, does nothing to get it, end up in prison
Very deep lessons that film told me : who give a crap about following what others want you to be, be what you wanna be shoot dang

"Damn what a great masterpiece.Would be a shame if a sequel ruins this"
This could have been what happened to a superman in another universe.
The idea that there is an earth out there where Song Man (that way he can keep his logo) a mildly successful musician sometimes saves people at super speed so they don't know it was him, as he lives a comfy life of his own making. While the Lex Luthor of that universe became the hero of Metropolis. Really is kinda cool if you think about it.
What if Superman crashlanded in a mansion instead of a farm
It's actually pretty dark to know he could have killed megamind whenever he wanted but just decided to play along
I was just about to comment this🥲👍
He's a superhero, like sup why would he kill ? But I get your point he's too strong for Megamind
"And Markplier was born!"
"Markplier?"
"That way I can keep my logo"
This is genuinely one of the best scenes in any superhero movie. I am dead serious. Nothing made me feel harder than this scene.
ayoooooooooooo 🧐

Metroman is the real homie of megamind,bro could've killed him several times in a second but he knows what to do ,man i love metroman one of the fav childhood hero
I was fairly young when this film came out and I never really got round to watching it - but lately it's been all over the internet and I gotta say it sounds amazing. But I still never got round to watching it. This finally hit the nail on the head I gotta see this film

This movie have such an important message about identity.

How it feels to finish that one game or show that hit different in a spiritual level and now you’ve lost all meaning in life
I love how hes actually an alien yet hes being the most human in this movie, roxanne get's mad for him faking his death, yet you cant deny the reason
This character needs more time than a one movie, and he is very under rated. Its a tragedy
This movie is a masterpiece about heros and villains
😂 He doesn't need the Psychiatrist because he is the PSYCHIATRIST... lol!
Anyone else saw the "trailer" and then came back to see how good meganind was back then?
I never understood why he did it until I rewatched it and understood why he did. It was reasonable and it was such a deep thought that ties it all together
I love his character. He truly made his life his own.
Though, as a kid I was confused and upset at him cus like 'whyyy???' 😂 Now we all understand why.

When you hit the inventory button on Skyrim when you are 1hp and you give yourself immediate heals:
I think its interesting that he brings up his own ability to have a choice here.
He mentions about how he feels pressured and constrained by society but isnt that true of megamind as well?
Except megamind has seemingly much less of a choice. He's forever a blue guy with a big head, and he cant just attempt to pivot into something else instantly because thats probably not changing.
His Speed Feats is beyond The Speedforce that’s some Straight-ass God Speed
It’s not. If he was beyond light speed, thought he wouldn’t be faded out for frame during the billboard scene(which is a cold detain by the film makers), the fact for a spilt second he gone which means camera pick it up and that not beyond light speed. Not only that but time isn’t freeze, it moving very slow and while it not slow motion, you can see the people move but only barley.
@@gameover9390i always thought of his super speed as an ability he can just turn on like a switch, not actual movement speed like Flash of Superman

Unironically, a fantastically written superhero. I really hope we see him again in the series.
