4 more hours of Megamind and I'm finally on the other side. And that ending is just.... So, what's the highlight from this series that really resonates with you? When Lady Doppler randomly propels herself to the sky? When Megamind tries to say 'radical'? Or when Chum's entire arm clips through a car? Tell me, which barrel scrapings were your favourite?
I mean the cockroaches sound like a fun episode... if only he was smart enough to walk them straight into a trap after playing them a fool this whole time while saying "Too bad you don't realize I have more intellect than even a spider" (with the flashback of the spider dangling from his crazy contraption during the roxanne kidnapping making him shiver) Dude just let me fucking re-write this whole story for you, peacock. Pay me double you insolent fiends.
Was just thinking that. It would explain a lot too. The name “Minion” would be copyrighted in universe, and they had to change his name, Megamind himself doesn’t have the time to act for a show so they have to hire a human with a similar voice and give him makeup and such, (explains why he looks less realistic and doesn’t sound the same) and Minion himself isn’t a very good actor which explains his change in personality, Keiko can be explained by the fact that producers would want the show to be more appealing to a wider range of audiences, etc.
Megamind: one of the best movies ever made Megamind and the button of doom: best sequel for Megamind Megamind 2: cheap, trash, garbage Megamind rules: cheap, trash, garbage
@@brose-bg3ks wait WHAT? normallly I tend to have some doubt but since I do not plan on watching Megagarbage vs the atrocious syndicate and its tv show, Im taking this as 100% facts. I am actually baffled by this
Imagine the most poorly written, cheaply animated, and cash graby spinoff you can possibly think of... and multiply it... BY SIX!! That's this "show" in a nutshell, and just like the sequel, as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't exist.
Megamind 🤝 Toy Story 3 🤝 Pacific Rim 🤝 Wreck it Ralph They never had sequels EDIT: If you guys claim that I placed another name that wasn't Wreck It Ralph, that's how I thought the first movie was named, unsure where that name came from honestly.
Remember when we used to think that 2010 was an awful year because of all the terrible music coming out (a lot of which is now considered to be "modern day classics") and the fact that Justin Bieber EXISTED? Looking back at 2010 makes me realise how freaking AMAZING that year was for animation - Megamind, Toy Story 3, HTTYD, Despicable Me, Batman: Under The Red Hood, Firebreather, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes......what a time!
@Thane3999 To be fair, I think the whole "mainstream music hate" was much stronger in 2011. Sure, Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black were the internet's favourite punching bags, but 2011 was also when the "Normies Vs. Stans Vs. Hipsters Vs. Metalheads Vs. Nostalgic 18-and-ups" divide really got into full swing!
The Original Film was set in 2010. The Sequel takes place immediately after. This means somehow Megamind knew about the word “Flossing” before it existed in 2016.
This is what happens when creators of a show don't actually care about the product they're producing and were just mandated to make something for money.
All the outdated jokes and references in this show just remind me of that line the warden says to Megamind in the first movie: "looks like you're going to miss it by several thousand years"
The romantic episode is awful, but my biggest problem is how wrong they get Megamind's character overall. He's NOT a narcissist and has never been one. Sure, he was always confident and cocky. He was flawed, but not because he had an inflated ego, it was because he was charismatic and WANTED to be over the top(again, "presentation"). He was never straight up nice guy asshole and that what made him different from Hal. He WAS respectful to others' self-esteem. Even when people have been turning away from him, he never put a blame on them, but on his fate that he thought he won't be able to turn around.
He also had both the intellect and the skills to back up his confidence, in a way that's what made him feel refreshing. Too often we see the "confident but incompetent" archetype, or the "book smart but not street smart" ones, but you really don't really see characters like Megamind who is book smart, street smart, confident, and more importantly competent. For once it was nice to see a villain who was actually good at being a villain, and he knew it. He wasn't even evil really, he just loved showing the world what he could do, to show all of those who opposed him what he was capable of. He was simply showing off his cool gadgets.
But he’s talking about how to be more popular, how would flossing his teeth make him more popular? Getting fit and doing the floss dance make more sense for that.
@@ThePhonax lol I made the microbrain joke Someone edited there comment and changed it into my joke before And I’m not doing this for likes btw it’s for fun Also these people are doing it for likes so don’t go after me
@@Christismessiah-n3l in every single RU-vid video from a week ago about the movie I’ve seen a comment saying “megamind more like nevermind” and I’ve seen twice people say “more like microbrain” and then I’ve seen a hundred different variations.
@@Teriiiyakiii At least Fanboy and Chumchum has people who enjoyed it, I’ve met fans and defenders. I haven’t seen a single person batting for this trash.
Fanboy and ChumChum at least had good animation for the time and Season 2 did less toilet humor and leaned more into the weird side, actually had some decent jokes here and there too.
"Doesn't Megamind loves presentation?" Given the design and animation, presentation was certainly not in the mind of the people who made the show. I mean it's for TV so of course there will be limitations but still...
This is miraculous ladybug but if you took all the fun things out of it and shoved "nice guy" megamind into it and instead of akumatized french people you get a twink elf.
I believe, if "DreamWorks Animation Television" can call this continuation officially a movie and a series, WE can call this officially a fananimation and non-canonical.
Will Ferrell as Megamind Mike Myers as Shrek Jay Baruchel as Hiccup Jack Black as Po Ben Stiller as Alex Woody Allen as Z4195 Anna Kendrick as Poppy Bruce Willis as RJ Ty Burrell as Mr. Peabody Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots You can't replace these 10 as DreamWorks protagonists
They had to have changed Minion's name to Chum because of the Despicable Me Minion's also being actual villain sidekicks too. It must have made their marketing and merchandising hell.
@@geometricaldasher674 I mean I doubt that? I was referring to people googling 'Minion' and their characters being buried under a million yellow creatures.
I have read in wikipedia (idk if its true or not) that this movie shouldve been the first film, early version of the first film, then it was scrapped. Shouldve stayed scrapped honestly. 😭😭😭
Yeah that's what I thought, he was wondering if he should improve his dental hygiene in addition to improving his body with exercise like he mentioned right before
I can understand why TV series look low budget. They indeed have lower budget and they have to divide the budget for each episode. But the problem is, Megamind is already a masterpiece that doesn't need a sequel. It ended perfectly and should stay that way. It's such a slap to the movie that it ened up in a poorly written, awful series that is so contrasting to the original.
How the hell does his mentor look even younger than megamind himself and the fact that even without his body you would expect him to be old but no he looks like he is in his 20s
23:03 OMG AAIT I FOUND A ANIMATION ERROR! this robot right here "carrying" that guy, is NOT carrying him! Look the hand is not making contact with him!
One thing I wish people realised more was that "Megamind 2" was simply the opening for the series, the quality doesn't change because the movie was quite literally made on a TV show budget- the whole point of the movie is an introduction to the series, a first episode if you will; similar to how The Conquerer of Shamballa FMA03 movie was a finale to the series, not its own one off movie. Of course this doesn't make ANY of this less bad and....painful, but at least you can rest knowing that technically the Doom Syndicate movie is technically part of the series, not a direct sequel; TV shows like this are rarely ever made canon enough to not still have a chance for a full sequel. Honestly, this is probably a test on top of a soulless cashgrab to see if people would actually WANT a full Megamind 2.
I mean… ignore it probably. But honestly I don’t think it’s gonna be cancelled any time soon. It almost definitely has several more episodes waiting. That’s how streaming services work, they order like, 20 or so episodes and then break it up into chunks and sell each as a separate season so they don’t have to pay the people working on the show for extra seasons.
@@cartoonishidealism582 you’re probably right. All the other Dreamworks streaming spinoffs shows ( she-ra, peabody & sherman, croods) all got 52 episodes that were split up into four (or in she-ra’s case, five) season. Thankfully they all ran their courses in just two years. However, those were back when Dreamworks was collabing with Netflix, and this is with Peacock, so the rules might be different…
@@cartoonishidealism582We can't just ignoring it and that's it! No no no! We must throw a whole lot of hate to it to make this series to be purposely canceled!
Not to be that person, but 8:48 is actually correct. You use the pencil to expose the pressure marks made by what was written on the previous sheet of paper.
It's hilarious how peacock is DreamWorks' biggest villain which are Lord Shen in Kung Fu Panda 2 and the streaming service that released this terrible Megamind sequel 😂
remember that megamind has his gun thingy that was used to make Titan, so when they took the powers away, they could givethem to some one else so, metroman not required
I'm sure if he ever thought about the word he'd try it out until he was told it was "cringe" and realize... "why the hell am I doing this? I can influence without needing to BE an influencer just by "doing" not "telling" on media." That would be better moral story than .. whatever the hell this is.
I feel like the scripts for this show was written in 2011 for a Nickelodeon show, but it never got made until now At least for the body swapping episode, they bothered to have the voice actors act like the other character, instead of swapping voices as well (phineas and ferb didn’t do that)
What I think would've been a better movie is if they took what happened in the first one, and lead it over Imagine the serum Hal got to turn into Titan, was lost somehow. Megamind chooses to be a true hero and gets rid of his villainy related things, accidentally dumping it somewhere. Well as its dumped, it gets mixed into other different things, changing the makeup to not be just like MetroMan, so that way if someone accidentally got hit with it, they'd change differently. So after its mixed, it manages to hit a couple of people, all being friends, who try and go around learning how to use this power, turning slowly into villains. And they form the group, The Doom Syndicate. I think that fits things a lot better then what they made tbh, least that part of the story.
@SharkFinsXD2 Considering how politically charged Velma is, I'd rather have Nevermind 2 vs. the Budget Syndicate. At least this show isn't blatantly insulting the viewer and isn't making me feel horrible. I feel nothing with this, and is a step up from that wretched trash. Nothing is better than something in this case.
Minor detail, but excellent choice in music in the section about the final episode. You’ve earned my respect for using KIU’s “lightning battle”. Puts a smile on my face whenever I hear it
If they really wanted to have a child character in the movie/series. Why not lean into fostering or adoption? It would make more sense..Megamind being unsure about having kids but then see how many kids that are in the same situation he was in. A natural way to introduce a child character to the mix and a way to teatch morales more naturally. Another storyline..Megamind struggle from making the transmission from being a villain to being a hero. As a villain, you don't really care what people think about you, who you hurt, or what you destroy. But as a hero. Things become harder, you have to sort of follow the rules. This would be an excellent way to have a Metro Man camio where he gives Megamind a pep talk.."Yes. Being a hero is hard.. Pepole will judge you harder because you are supposed to be better, to know better. But you are till only..a..blue human? guy? Doing the best he can to make the city better. Peace by peace" Or something like that..I'm no writer.
i don't know if anyone has pointed this out, but the animation looks just like miraculous ladybug. like holy shit. the movement is identical and everything. same kinds of expressions and everything else. like wtf.
At least Dragons had an interesting concept of human rediscovering dragons in the modern era. That actually had the potential to be amazing and would expand on the lesson from 3! Like imagine meeting dragons again in an age of division and it brings up questions if humans are ready.
@@fulcrum6760 The problem is that the execution is poorly handled and ruined its potential it could it had. Megamind 2 and its TV series have no reason to exist whatsoever. The OG film doesn't need a sequel and it ends perfectly as it is.
I did not notice! I personally thought the replacement they got for Minion (his name is Minion, I refuse to call him Chum) sounded pretty convincing. No wonder, Josh Brener is a really good voice actor! Donnie Ninja Turtle for the win.
Okay but credit where it’s due? They didn’t swap the voices with the body swap plot. That’s actually a really cool detail that even good shows get wrong, so it’s insane this show managed it.
They were 100% on something while writing this and TDS. I'm not sure what, but I'm sure it's some heavy stuff. You can't screw up YOUR OWN work this badly unless the influence of some.. substances
Between this and the Clone High revival, I think it’s time to accept that bringing something back with the original creators after a ridiculous amount of time has passed is basically the same as bringing it back with all new writers - probably doomed.
Megamind having an old prison mentor figure who betrayed/traumatized him in the past causing him to not want to mentor anyone else could have been a plotline
@@Bloody_Ingenious there's multiple reasons why. 1) Celebrity Deathmatch got worse when it was brought back for MTV2. 2) The creator did what they could with this small budget. 3) Not as much creative freedom. CD was a parody of celebrities while the original Megamind was a parody of superhero movies.
And it had better writing understanding the behaviour of the characters in that show making itself a parody. That's what I would expect of a Megamind show.
I'm absolutely triggered by the fact that Minion's tendrils flow with his movements, not with his head's movements inside the tank. That's not how fluids work.
I saw a clip from the series where there was a better lightning and i thought "DOES THE SERIES LOOKS BETTER THAN THE 2ND MOVIE?" And it's probably the opening and the clip that i saw wasn't even that good
3:00 - I thought he was talking about flossing as in flossing his teeth to improve his dental hygiene in addition to improving his body with exercise like he mentioned right before
im glad theres so many reviews of this show so i can tolerate being thru this trainwreck to know just how bad it is while also not having to pay for a peacock subscription
Trolling as terminology is still very much a thing, yes. Nah the Chocolate Rain reference is actually a W though, rare W but still. (Also keep in mind that this show chronologically takes place soon after the first film, or so I've heard, which yes has other contradications that are worse and many of which are simultaneously too late on the timeline to be in this film and yet still horrendously dated by our standards) wow what a mess
You remember when Tighten sketched out both his and Megamind's costumes in the movie? Yeah, I believe Megamind 2 and this whole series is just Hal writing these stories to pitch his tv show. Making Megamind the protagonist is just a disguise to make it seem that Hal is taking redemption seriously, but really, its his way to make Megamind's popularity crumble.
8:50 I'm confused by your comment here. That is how it works? It's using the indents of prior pages so they will be white, the pencil moves over them fast enough to not colour in.
I think he meant the scribbles weren't synced up properly? That was how I interpreted it at least but it's not in reverse, just the wrong angle/movements
