Something to think about: he became Music Man because it was something he wasn't good at immediately. He'd need to work at becoming good at it.

"Wait! That's X?", "Yeah." pretty much sums up the voices of this movie.

The reason you haven't heard of Megamind is that it was quickly overshadowed by "Despicable Me," which went on to be the better-known film. They were released pretty close to each other, and ofc the _other_ minions (and let's face it, the youngest little girl) took the world by storm. i believe that if Megamind had been released at another time, it would have done a lot better, because I haven't seen anyone yet who doesn't like the movie and doesn't get most of the in-jokes (like Space Dad being a direct copy of Jor-El as played by Brando, but talking with the voice Brando used in The Godfather). This was a fun one and still a fave movie for me.

Megamind`s arrival to the final act is absolutely legendary. "What`s the difference?" "PRESENTATION!" Like... My top two scene entrances are Captain America jumping from a plane without a shoot, and this. And I think Megamind might be number one.

I love how Music Man decided his true calling was something he wasn’t perfect at, something his powers can’t help with, something he actually has to try with and practice and work on through his own hard work, after being so perfect his whole life.

OH! If you go back and watch the scene frame by frame where he's firing the sun laser, you can see Metro Man in the background for a single frame when he's recapping his story of how he faked his death. It's that detail that makes me love this movie even more.

Fans to the ‘sequel’: “Oh, you’re a sequel alright, just not a good one.” “Oh yeah, what’s the difference?” “PRESENTATION! …and a budget…and everything else to be good.”

Fun fact: Megamind's clothes design, and his 'bad guy' treatment by society, was inspired by Alice Cooper, while Metroman's outfit was inspired by Elvis Presley. They even play one of Presley's songs after Metroman says "Put your hands in the air."

I love how they used colours in this movie, Roxanne's clothes goes from red to purple to blue, from Metro Man to Megamind as the movie progresses. ^^ LOVE this movie! So underrated!

You guys commented that "90% of the budget went to get Brad Pitt in a recording booth"? Wrong - the 90% of the budget went to the royalties for the soundtrack!

Megamind's superhero entrance to GnR is frankly a Top 5 superhero entrance! It is amazing to say that about a smirking Dreamworks movie.

"Maybe I don't want to be the bad guy anymore." Spoken word by word with the same tone by Ralph at the beginning of Wreck-It Ralph.

I like to think while the scene with Metroman looking at his costume was meant to fake you out and think it was him coming back afterward, what it really did mean is that IF Megamind had failed somehow, he was 100% about to step in. Like he said at the end though, he knew he had it in him. So Metroman just wasn't going to interfere until there was literally no other choice, but he was ready to.

I find the artstyle of this movie so funny, because Tina Fey's head isn't that much smaller than Mega Mind's like her forhead is walkable lol

How did you both miss “remaining citizens are warned to stay indoors“. Remaining? 😂

An awesome detail alot of people dont bring is Roxanne's dress it starts in red to show her atraction to metro man, then in the middle turns to purple on her confliction/ devolping ataction to megamind then finally goes blue by the end to show her feelings towards him.....im so glad this kovie finally got the love it deserved and never had a sequel made ever

Prepare to be mind-blown when you find out that Bernard was voiced by Ben Stiller (when Megamind wasn’t impersonating him)

Bit disappointed yall left out the speech megamind gives while falling but it’s nice to see this movie get recognition

19:18 -- no, not exactly projecting. Many people point out that "squandering his abilities for personal gain" is exactly what Megamind himself does; except, in the first place, that's his _role:_ Megamind is the villain, he does bad things. Hal was supposed to be the *hero.* HE's not supposed to do the bad stuff. And in the second place, Megamind _isn't_ actually doing any of the things he does for his own personal gain. He's doing it because it is what is expected of him, and for love of the "game" -- the back-and-forth chase of fighting MetroMan-- not because he particularly wants the money and art and stuff, or gets any real satisfaction out of having it. The POINT is: Megamind has handed Hal an opportunity beyond anything he can even so much as dream of being worthy to aspire to himself-- the chance to be the Hero. And Hal tosses it away like worthless garbage.

Such a fun movie! Tackles the toxic "nice guys" really well. Plus, a wonderful soundtrack! Glad you are watching it!

I could go on for a long while on the subject on how I feel Megamind was robbed by Despicable Me.

its hard to see if you dont know but in the original scene when megamind "kills" metroman, you can see him disappear for a frame, which is when he uses the superspeed they show in the flashback

To be fair Brad Pitt can be pretty cool when it comes to money. He contacted guy ritchie saying he wanted to work with him and guy Ritchie said he couldn’t pay him a superstar wage and Brad Pitt said he didn’t care he just wanted to work with him.

This movie is definitely one of the best animated movies ever made, it's got everything and genuinely subverts a lot of tropes while having a mature message and fun + relatable characters. Unlike Megamind 2, which I hope they hate watch at some point.

God this movie was a masterpiece, it was a shame it got overshadowed by Despicable Me. But maybe that was for the best because the sequel just spits on everything it stands for

Its a good thing this movie ended on a high note and definitely doesn’t have a no effort sequel

Quite similar movie, "Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog" highly recommend. It was made during the Writers strike in 08 by a bunch of actors just doing what they wanted.

"Where does he land, New Jersey?" lmfao

YOU MEAN YALL HAVENT SEEN MEGAMIND YET??? OH LET'S GOOOO

Of the two supervillain themed movies that were released at that time, Despicable Me is the one who got sequels. That tells us all that we are following the dumb timeline of the universe.

"PRESENTATION!" One of the best lines in a movie.

YOOOOOO! such an awesome movie, glad you guys get to enjoy it! The sequel doesn't exist.

This & Incredibles are a couple of the best superhero movies for subverting exceptions with style!

Metro Man likes music because it's not a power he naturally has. Every bit of improvement is from his own effort and not science fiction magic.

By the by, Bernard (the original one) was voiced by Ben Stiller.

When Megamind is talking to Titan, he isn't projecting, well, not in the implied way. His core personality and upbringing beat into the very fabric of his being, that his gifts were bad, evil, and needed to be punished, whilst Metroman's gifts were admiral to the public. He is upset because Hal has the "admirable' power, and is squandering it; Megamind isn't squandering his power, because at its very core, it is "evil"

"oh-lo" best line.

I LOVE the scene of Megamind as a tab of acid on the tongue of the giant hologram Megamind's tongue. Chef's kiss!!

I mean, the entire gist of this movie is in people not being who they're acting as, and it feels like that entirely slipped you by. Megamind isn't evil. He was told he was the bad guy, so he decided to fill those shoes. The only person he ever really uses any serious force on is the one person he's sure he can't succeed against. You can see his lack of harmful will in how Roxy has been kidnapped and presented with dangerous things, but he's never actually done anything to hurt her. He's a good person who got shunned and pushed into the role of villain. In contrast, you have Tighten who literally risks seriously harming everyone all the time because he is an evil person that Megamind tries to shove into the role of hero. He does not care about others, so their lives mean nothing to him even when he's trying to "act like a hero" himself at first. Meanwhile Metro Man is sort of neutral. He isn't good or evil, he's just some dude. He played the role of being the hero, but it's just an act. He isn't some noble person willing to sacrifice himself for others, so when he got bored, he left.

Y'all are hilarious 😂 You have such great back and forth. "Think handsome actor." "Well that narrows it down" lol

This movie is so awesome, also one of the most badass soundtracks.

the perfect superhero movie! glad no one made a "sequel" or worse - a feature version!

Fun Fact: the Observatory Explosion took 3 months to make. According to the people who were working on it they just kept adding to it to make it bigger and bigger, going from a 1-2 week boom boom to a massive 3 month monster-splosion.

I just wanted to say, I just discovered you guys' channel recently, and I have to say this is probably my new favorite reaction channel. I watch a LOT of this kind of content, but in my opinion you guys have the best mixture of jokes, observations, and notes on the finer aspects of cinematography that I have seen in any channel! I absolutely love it and you best believe I'm subbed with the bell!

You have to go past the credits! There's a stinger with Minion and .... someone you forgot

This movie is so underrated imo… really loved it… my wife and I frequently quote it at each other lol

As much as I despise Metro Man for what he was, I'll give him this much, when he got tired of saving the day for eternity, he didn't become the villain like so many others.

21:33 - In the movie you can actually see Metro Man blip in and out behind Megamind in that scene :> ( _in the begining_ )

I loved Markiplier in this film, really Jumpstart his career

I still remember seeing this in theaters when it came out and having my mind blown! What a classic!

I love little things like her dress starting red at the beginning and she is wearing blue by the end.

metro man is just markiplier

Glad to see you two had so much fun with this one. In my opinion there are some great animation movies out there that do not get that much attention on reaction channels. My recommendation would be Monsters vs. Aliens.

I absolutely love this movie and I’m so glad you reacted to it!

I am always happy seeing first time reactions to this glorious movie. Thank you, from the bottom of me he art.

Its so crazy that they took the time to animate Markiplier.

I've got a movie for you to react to: Bunraku. If you like your stylized anti-heroes, definitely check that one out. Also, Megamind is one of my favorite movies.

I always loved how supportive Metro Man is of him ^^

Love this movie! So glad you guys enjoyed it

the ONE LINE from bernard was Ben Stiller

I can't believe you guys made a reaction to Megamind! I'm glad you guys uploaded it! And speaking of BetterHelp, I got a Daniel Trasher ad right after a few moments of your BetterHelp sponsor bit.

Even metroman is seen snacking twice in the movie. Like Brad Pitt

The music budget for this film must've been massive, all the ultra famous artists - Elvis AC/DC Guns and Roses Michael Jackson George Thorogood Ozzy Osbourne E.L.O

i love all the words MegaMind pronounces incorrectly... i still say Ollo tbh also one of my favorite memes of this movie (cause theres a TON) is that Music Man looks HUGELY like an animated Markiplierand

I saw Megamind in theaters. Great film.

You should watch Meg next. I did not watch it for the longest time because it was stupid and it was, but in a good way. You will enjoy it.

When I answer the phone, I always say "Holo!" Because of this movie!!

19:46 OOF, that comment makes the sequel hurt more 😣

If you wanna watch an animated movie that will get you in the feels is the 86 animated Transformers movie

Didn't realize this was the ending, because the ending I remember has Titan coming back and figuring out it's Megamind and not Metroman and they have another fight sequence where they go back to the starting scene of Megamind falling through the sky with the gun in his hand.

found your channel some time ago. i m gonna watch all videos. you guys are so funny :-)

_Megamind_ is like _Highlander:_ There Can Be Only One. And there definitely isn't a sequel that utterly ruins the original retroactively and actively contradicts the entire Lore of the original. Nope. Very definitely. Doesn't exist. But seriously, I saw the trailer to Megamind 2 and was like, "Is this some subpar script for a _Despicable Me_ sequel they threw out? Because it doesn't even make sense in context of the Megamind movie!! It's the Despicable Me universe where tons of eccentric villains have been running around for deaces, forming entire villain societies. Whereas in the Megamind universe, there have always been only Megamind and Metro-Man, and both are space aliens. Megamind _never had_ a "team" of other supervillains... THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT that he was always alone and the only one he had was Minion! So M2 trying to invent "Megamind's old gang" of villains out of thin air -- who are absolutely cringeworthy on top of that, I mean, one of them looks exactly like that "French mime" joke villains from the start of _The Incredibles!_ -- actively contradicts the entire first movie!! And the predictable plot "Oh no, these other villains somehow didn't notice that Megamind is the hero of MetroCity now, even though it was on TV, and now for some reason Megamind has to pretend he is still a villain and then fight all three of them" is literally the plot of _Despicable Me 2!_ Come on.

You: 90% of the budget went to getting brad pitt Me: No, 90% of the budget went to getting the awesome soundtrack

Fun Fact:The real father form MegaMind took was a parody of Marlon Brando's Jor-El

Cutting out the finale of Megamind vs Titan is criminal

Always loved when they're in Hal's apartment. Minion instantly replaces the door Haha

Altaf, man, so glad to see you succeeding on here. Those days recording Checkerboard Chat and riding down to Atlanta 3-wide in that crappy truck have made you into a force of nature. Wishing you nothing but good luck in all you do!

6;59 if you pay attention you will see Metroman flickering and appearing behind Megamind.

Brad Pit voices Metro Man, and Metro Man plays Markiplire

A surprising animated movie I recommend is Tin-Tin. Came out in 2011? Very, very good.

LOVE this movie! Completely Slept on by too many!

Oh hey Markiplier 21:29

Love this movie 😂 I saw it later in life, which I think why I appreciate it so much. And wow, what a cast!

The machine girl movie is right up your alley!!!

this movie's great. it's a shame they never made a sequel.

26:38 - His face! Hahahaha

> Imagine your date turns into a Blue Alien Liara T'Soni?

That makes me laugh that you guy wasn't talking about the memes. This movie is considered to be the goldmine.

Just watched an older video of yours and it lead me to the conclusion you have never seen Snatch. If this is the case, please watch Snatch; it will be great.

My all time favorite movie 😆😆

There is a really cool visual thing where at the beginning of the movie Roxanne is wearing red, which is Metro man's primary color. Then, as the movie progresses and she starts falling for Megamind, she starts wearing purple, which is a combination of red and blue, and by the end of the movie she's entirely wearing blue.

After this, don't taint yourself by watching the tv series....

Imagine if the Tibble twins from Arthur joined Megamind's side! 😏

New here, but guy on the right gives me major David Cross vibes (his face). It's funny how this movie has blown up over the last so many years because it is actually really good, has a cool concept and was overshadowed by Despicable Me I think it was?

They did the Superman: Red Son ending!

The scene compositions in this are so overlooked.

Never seen this movie but it looks fun. I'm always into a film that deals with nurture over nature

I like how you guys removed having hale come back and then then getting his powers removed

This movie does a great job at tackling the difference between a toxic "nice guy" and a good man. Jonah Hill was so great and creepy as an nice guy.
