One nice detail of the movie is that when Metroman fakes his death, he takes up the guitar. And he’s not very good at playing it, like, at all. But that’s the point; Metroman has spent his whole life being perfect and never failing at anything. But to be good at the guitar takes PRACTICE, and, one day, you can become a pro. I think that’s what he really wants. The thrill of growing and learning something new to shake up the old routine.
Imma keep it 100 wit you. Stay in school lil bro, having no direction in life and no profession can eat away at you if you’re not mentally tough. Doing a job at minimum wage, one you’re unsatisfied with will tear you apart. I wish I could go back to school. Damn if I could.
@@loafofbread7413 Eventually yes. There is a glorious end for all of us, eventually. But your not truly living life if you wish for it all just to end. Your not enjoying a roller coaster if you're scared and you want to get off. So it really is the journey of life, not the end that we should enjoy.
Exactly, if we give in to our urges and temptation; this all will be a silly charade for the rest our lives. Thats why we need to push through our problems and win. Perseverance is the key to success
Metro man and mega mind remind me of someone who had it all to begin with and someone who had to work to have it all and the difference of how their characters play out
I feel like everyone wakes up one day and realizes that life is just a never ending race, stuck in a loop with goal after goal. and even if you reach the goal ahead of you, and even if the journey was tough, the most we may get is a pat on the back or an “okay” and look ahead of us to only see 10 more harder goals. like we are hamsters stuck inside of a wheel, or Sisyphus pushing the rock up the mountain over and over again.
That feeling you get that if Batman ever told Joker he was done fighting crime, that crime had won, would make me think of what if scenarios just like this.
There’s a comic where joker thinks he killed batman and his mind snaps which causes him to become sane again. He becomes a normal person and even falls in love with a normal woman, until batman returns 6 months later and joker returns. It’s called Batman: Going Sane
Theee is a similar scenario in "Batman: The Animated Series" 1992, where (SPILERS AHEAD) where some newbie gangster "kills" batman. He didn't die, he just faked his death so that newbie could help him find the mob boss. When joker heard about this, he was "robbing" a bank (it was just a trap get batman) and he lost all motivation for crime and being a villan, he had no purpose in life anymore, he was depressed, he even tried to k1ll that gangster but crime was not the same without batman. The episode' name is 'The Man Who Killed Batman'
"Then I realized, we had done this same silly charade our entire lives. I tried to get my mind off how I was feeling, but I just felt stuck. And I started to realize, despite all my powers, each and every citizen of Metro had something I didn't: a choice. Ever since I can remember, I've always had to be what this city wanted me to be. What about what I wanted to do? Then it suddenly hit me: I do have a choice."
i've always liked how the movie didn't portrait him as this cold arrogant hero, or just straight up mean to megamind. Yea he was mean as a kid but we got to see that he was a victim of society expectations too, same as megamind. They were the other face of the coin, and I just love how the movie made them become friends (or just be in good terms) after breaking the pattern.
I feel like an old bastard seeing kids' biggest complaint being school and I'm only 22. Trust me guys, school is a blessing. Just have fun while you're there, you'll wish you had those days back. I already do.
Agreed. That’s obviously not the case for everyone, people can have pretty rough times in school. But I’m definitely the type of guy who’s high school experience wasn’t the best, yet I’d give anything to go back to those days for just a little bit.
Whether it's working the same job, going to the same school, or staying in the same bed... we're all in our own personal prison called life -Joel Udesen

So many people say “you just gotta find your purpose. Choose to live your life in a way that means something.” But they don’t want to admit that the chances of choosing wrong are so damn high.
@@pyromancer1109 that’s not what I mean. What if you decide at 20 that you’re going to be a doctor and save people’s lives. So you go to medical school and dedicate years of your life to achieving that goal. Then when you finally get there you’re absolutely miserable and find no meaning in the life that you thought would be meaningful. You’d have chosen the wrong way to live, but at the cost of many years of your life. That’s my point. So many people like to give us platitudes about finding meaning in our lives. But it’s way easier said than done. You could spend your whole life trying to find meaning, and die without ever finding it.
@@AesirUnlimited I see what your saying I just think that even if you picked a choice that you did not like you should still make the most of it and even if you never find your meaning in life then you can just live life and experience what it has to offer when wanting to mind meaning in your life it may be easier said then done but it can still be done
Everyone seems to be talking about how school sucks but the silly charades with friends and those who are heartbroken were worth it.Atleast it was worth it
In the end, Metroman looks like the rich kid who's already born with everything and get depressed because of it, and Megamind is the poor kid who work hard to achieve his goals but once there's nothing else to achieve, he feels depressed to. It's more or less the same thing in real life, it's just an endless cycle, till we die.
honestly school is just ridcouls they make you learn for 8 hours a day with nothing but the weekend to save you from it, i relate to metro man so much because of the fact he knows to do the same thing everyday but its ether slightly changed or just completely the same. i dont want to waste my youth like that i want to do more but its impossible for me too, its illegal to not do school i just wish someone could save me i feel like this comment is a screech of help that no one will ever answer im sick of this, i wish i could run away like metro man did.
@@coloredfox3463 life does get harder once leaving school BUT school does suck sooooo much tho. Just try to make the most of it.. ur doing ur best and ur enough.
one day you will grow and go to college its a choice you make but then if you dont go to it youll be stuck making sandwiches for minimum wage while getting bossed around like a piece of fifth. enjoy your days in school, i wish i did. You'll grow up to do better i can tell so dont let your own words get to you. I have been where you are and now at 19 i can tell you to rise above those feelings. Its always better to start now than later so get those grades up, sleep earlier, drink more water, hell even go outside because what i can tell you from being stuck inside is the fresh breath of open air and the wind blowing in your air. So enjoy yourself before you turn too old
You have to learn to enjoy school man, that’s the only way. Enjoy studying, enjoy the pursuit of knowledge, enjoy being just a little bit smarter, a little bit better than you were yesterday.
Listen to me everyone I know it feels like you lost it all the friends, gf/bf, job, or even your own humanity but just stop and realize how many people in the comments are also hurting. You’re not alone bro… I’m still recovering and pushing through not just for the people that care about me, but for myself bc I am in control with who makes me happy.
@@zakshei6967 Wrong. A nihilist is indifferent to life or death, which is funny because I promise you that if you were to threaten a nihilist at gunpoint they wouldn't be so indifferent.
Many philosophical groups fall into that generalization including nihilists. Absurdism and Existentialism could be categorized as such. Point being is that the nihilist rejects the "key" to escape his "cage" while claiming to yearn for freedom; this, in turn, is worthy of ridicule.
hey guys, just wanted to tell u guys that we're in this together, it's not just me, you or any others, we have our own problem, some maybe harder but remember, in the end we're gonna make it buddy
Thank you, I will be here to help you along your journey to stranger. Enjoy your life because I know that no matter what you face, it will be okay in the end.
tbh man i don’t wanna live. but i do. like some days i feel like no one cares about me. the next it’s normal. i don’t want to die but i do sometimes. the day she left me was the day i part of me died. i want her back but know it’s not the right choice. idk what to do
Dude I don’t know you but I can truly resonate with the words you are saying. I’ve had the exact same feeling and I feel like a lot of other men have had that feeling too. The world excepts so much from us, yet at the same time discards us when we are of no use. She’ll regret it one day bro I am sure of it. Work on yourself, hit the gym and go awol for a while and just take a break from all the noise. I care about you and I don’t even know you. In it seems dark rn but just know even in the darkest night you can always know that their will be a sunrise soon. Head up King 👑
I agree with with you sometimes I feel that to bro I haven’t had a girlfriend nor my first kiss because nobody likes me nobody wants to give me the attention I deserve or recognition I’m here but just stay with us buddy :) you’ll make it
You know, I've really focused on myself and on finding new purpose and meaning, kinda like metroman and i get it now. When i was a kid, i thought he was a washout and that he should have stayed to do the right thing but now, i realized just how justified he was in leaving his tittle behind. He was stuck, the rutine he didn't even ask for got boring and he, instead of doing it over and over again, just left it in search for something new. I think we should all try to do that, break from the routine, try something new. Life is too short to waste it on worries of if it may or may not fail, because before you know it, you never had the chance to do it.
the point of the movie was that Metroman and Megamind were never really enemies, they are two people put in different classes since birth and convinced by society that they were supposed to be enemies, kinda like black people vs white people, or men vs women, or gay vs straight, the truth is they were not responsible for what they are but they were judged for that since birth, in the end Metroman isn't perfect, and by being told that he is perfect he became egocentric and refused to help when there was a threat, while Megamind, who was always judged as the bad guy, turns out to be better than Metroman because he was made to see the injustice in society and learned that he had to fight for everything the reality is that society judges people for things that they cannot change, but someone's real worth comes out when we need them.
Life is this endless cycle of us trying to find meaning . It's not east but we all find this out one day whether the outcome will be graceful or melign.
I wonder, is this how you felt? God, how blind was I to not see you suffering by my side. I can’t help but feel bitter that you never spoke up. I wanted to be there. I wanted to hold your hand through it all and fight whatever came our way. I hope that you’re happy at least.
Sometimes being selfish is the only way to be truly happy. If he let the world burn, he’d burn alongside them, and appreciate life on the sidelines surrounded, instead of being relied on and alone.
Life is all about the experience, do you want to be 80 years old and think back to a life full of regrets and what-ifs? every single one of us here is infinite. We have infinite possibilities of where we can take our lives, yes some things may be harder to achieve or reach but you will get there if you want to. Stop holding yourselves back and live the lives you want to live. Life is a risk, so why not take it?
They do bro. You just miss how you felt back then, how care free you ware. Because the truth is you probably have more responsibility now and you feel shitty. I know, because its the same for everyone
@@eshai27 People have said this for everything on the planet for decades now. Stop looking at the most mainstream and corporate friendly shit and you'll find this isn't true
When will you realise, that all this time, you couldn’t see with fog ahead of you? Look back on the path you came and realise there isn’t an end in sight. Push anyway, so you can get past that misty, unclear future.
This is how it feels being the “gifted” kid growing up, Always expected to be something great, And then you end up hating everything you do since you’re raised with the idea that you have to be perfect in every single way.
Lyrics: Metroman: "Then I realized, we have done the same silly charade our entire lives." [Verse 1]: Rise with the morning You call to me My thoughts are crawling You're all I see [Chorus]: I wish I could live without you But you're a part of me Wherever I go You'll always be next to me [Verse 2]: Fall into the night As I gaze into you Shine so bright It's all I do [Chorus]: I wish I could live without you But you're a part of me Wherever I go You'll always be next to me [Outro] You'll always be next to me You'll always be next to me You'll always be next to me You'll always be next to me
I had the best time of my life with her yesterday. We laughed together, sang together, smiled together only to find out i'm not special and I'm just one out of the many people she talks too. Hurts, man. When is this silly little charade going to end. Edit: doing WAY better idk what was wrong with me lol
I have a pretty similar case. So to avoid feeling absolutely crushed, I would think of this: you can look at love two ways. what you're doing is looking at it in a "proportional" sense. This is when you COMPARE the amount of love you get from her to other people. You realize that proportionally, you get less or equal the amount of love others get from her. What you fail to look at, is the "true value" of this love. This is when you look at the amount of love you're receiving WITHOUT comparing The point is, you had the time of your life with her, and she made you feel loved. Thats a big w for u. I would recommend looking at both "proportional" and "true value". The opposite of this case could be that you don't feel so loved by the person, but looking at things "proportionally" you realize that she really loves you, there's just not much love she can give. Also you should look at the positive side of this. hurting yourself by looking at the negatives doesn't do good for anyone.
It was nice listening to this music, but I just felt stuck whenever I listen to music like these. 4 days ago, I started to listen to more energetic songs. It seemed to make me more energetic and have made my healing process from previous sad events faster. It's fine to listen to music like this music for now, but I hope you change it up someday :)
Its funny to think that this movie came out a while ago but i can still relate to it. I come and go from peoples lives and it may not be fun it happens. And as he has realized i have done this same sherade my entire life. I have always been a pawn in everyone else's game. But to really grow outside your original box is the hardest.. but in the end.. its worth it. -me
