Watching *MEGAMIND* for the FIRST time and LAUGHING out loud (Movie Commentary & Reaction) 

hey guys! I'm really sorry about the audio quality in this video. apparently, my mic wasn't recording but I hope you'll still enjoy this reaction 🙈 love you!

I don’t think Megamind killed anyone. I think Metroman would’ve put him down if he did. His 88 life sentences are from property damage, breaking out of prison over and over again. Theft, and obviously kidnapping. And clearly he’s not any threat to Roxanne with her being perfectly comfortable with the circumstances. He did it SO much it added up to that because how constant he does it. He’s basically the ultimate troll rather than a proper villain.

I love how she hates metroman instantly😂

He didn't actually kill Bernard He froze him With his dehydration gun

Sophie, can you believe that this movie was either looked upon as just okay by critics? This movie is an underrated masterpiece. I’m glad it’s growing much more of a following

Yellow Roses are actually a symbol of platonic friendship. While their lives revolved around each other, I feel over time Metro Man became the closest thing to a friend (other than Minion obviously)

I've said it before but I will say it again anyway... This movie with its little details is so good! Megamind and Minion keep their natural eye colour no matter who they turn into with their weird tech watch. So you can , once you know that , can clearly tell who is who without it being TOO obvious . Also Roxanne's dress changes from red (the opposite of blue) , to purple (red and blue mixed together) , to finally being blue towards the end , signifying her relationship with/opinion on Megamind throughout the movie. Also Also , Can we appreciate that Megamind knew Metroman well enough , or at least had fought him enough to know what kind of things he would say (while disguised as Metroman)

The fact that she called Metroman a "Walmart version of captain America" and not an "Elvis Presley superman" is just hilarious to me

This movie is so awesome it made the audience root for a supervillain and against the superhero.

1:10 minion used to be a word before it got ruined

Actually, the Titan/Tighten jokes are intentional and not misspelling

The Metroman disguise was just that, a disguise, only visual. Megamind could fly because he wore a jetpack in reality, which Titan broke afterwards.

Water is wet, the sun is scorching hot and Megamind is so underrated - simple truths.

My favorite scene in this movie is Space dad 😂 “So you’re like… my space dad?” 👀 “Yea… I’m like your space daa”

Megamind and metro man looks like the two dude in chat room that always banters a lot. They didn't really hate each other but they fight who's more famous when they're both online. Megamind is the infamous troll and Metro man is the famous E-Girl on chat. Minion is the best friend of the troll who's just laughing and taking a potshot if he can

the scene where Hal flies Roxy around the city thinking he's being romantic is supposed to be a parallel to that famous scene in Superman where he does the same thing with Lois Lane.

21:44 What happens here is because since Metro Man tricked Megamind into thinking copper is his weakness, he uses it as a cage on Titan and is only surprised when he finds out it doesn't work because it did on Metro Man.

The Microwave of Evil bit gets me to this day, even a over decade after I saw this movie in cinema it hasn't lost any of its charm

YES! You have watched one of the most underrated movie of all time! :D Fun fact: if I remember correctly, the reason why Megamind was overlooked was because Despicable Me had been released recently as well. Both movies have the same storyline of the bad guy turned good guy and more people took to Despicable Me.

25:01 OH BOY HOW THAT LINE HAS AGED OVER THE YEARS ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE QUEEN HAS PASSED FROM THIS WORLD TO ANOTHER.

The only thing I would have liked to see different in this movie would have been Metroman apologizing to Megamind for not only making him into a villain, but ensuring that he stayed one. It was Metroman's treatment of him as a kid that made Metroman choose bad. And Metroman could have reversed it at almost any time. But I loved your reaction. Especially your appreciation of Minion. An aquatic Samwise Gamgee.

They really did well, putting Hal as a dangerous Nice Guy from the start. Megamind never killed anyone. Bernard got dehydrated into one of those cubes. He just got in trouble for property damage and escaping jail constantly. I feel like Dreamworks knew there was a cutoff point for a villain going too far to be redeemed.

I love how at the beggining you can see Metro Man playing a guitar at his school, those little details make the difference for me Edit: Well its an ukelele but my point stands xD

Just as a friendly heads up: Bernard was Not killed, just dehydrated into a cube. There’s even an after credits scene, we’re apparently he hadn’t taken the cube out of his pajama pocket, and Bernard was rehydrated…. In the washing machine….. then minion hit him with the forget-me-stick. So he’s fine…ish.

The thing I love about Megamind is he's never physically hurt anyone on purpose, he only has his rivalry with Metro Man that causes property damage and sometimes the kidnapping of Roxanne Ritchi, who knows him well enough by this point to understand he's not a threat to her life despite all his appearances to look as evil as possible. It really shows you that Megamind was never a villain, he just wanted to be loved like Metro Man. When he fell in love with Roxanne, it was through pretending he was "Bernard" and not the villain that she hated. He was too focused on finally receiving love and affection to realize how horrible it was to continue in that lie. So when he realized he messed up and Hal was actually a danger to her life, which Megamind had never been (until he'd decided to create a hero), he regained his fighting spirit. What used to be his love for banter with Metro Man, became his protectiveness for Roxanne.

Such a minor detail that's easy to miss, when the holo disguise is used, the eye color doesn't change so you can tell the green eyes for Megamind and the brown for eyes for Minion, verses the Warden's blue eyes

Well in terms of flower symbology, Yellow Roses symbolize friendship. So I don't think Megamind was in love with Metroman, but I think he did see their rivalry as some kind of odd friendship. Also Hal is the definition of an internet 'Nice Guy'.

I love how Megamind got the exposure it deserved through memes.

Metromans new passion is music BECAUSE he's so bad at it, because it's the one thing his powers can't help him with, therefore he's getting better on his own talents.

Fun fact for you and anyone who might not know, Megamind is voiced by Will Ferrel. The same guy who played Buddy the Elf.

Hal is ... A Nice Guy. Not a guy that's actually nice, they just "play nice" to get the girls, do nice stuff expecting a reward from her while being kinda creepy about it and super entitled and if the girl reject them, they'll go violent and insult them. At the time, TV was big on the "Even losers can be heroes and deserves the girl" trope, how peoples not exactly liked by fate would still conquer the odds and charm the girl they wanted and live happily ever after, due to their good personality. Hal thought he was that guy, that now that he "conquered the odds" he would get Roxanne because what kept her away from him if it wasn't for the lack of powers, amiright ?? But he never was a good guy, and the moment he didn't get what he wanted, he threw a tantrum, showing that he wasn't deserving of either powers, or Roxanne.

I love this movie, the way they expose the "nice guy" it's awesome. Btw u r so underrated!!

When Metroman shows up in the crowd at the end: Hello, everybody! My name's Markiplier...

Awesome movie! This movie touches very interesting themes. One of them is the importance of struggle to obtain happiness. I said 'struggle' and not 'purpose' and i'm goint to clarify why. The message is that we only can appreciate things obtained with effort. We know that the movie is about Megamind finding himself bored and melancholic after 'killing' Metroman, but the same thing happened to Metroman before. We can see how insanely powerful Metroman is. For him, almost nothing is a challenge. Being a superhero is nor fun for him at all. But Megamind IS happy and you can tell. He never ever wins, but he enjoys the constant challenges and loves to build inventions and to plan his next prison break. I like to think Metroman envies Megamind happiness and finally realizes why. Metroman fakes his death and starts a new hobby: playing the guitar and sing. It looks silly at first but there is a reason for him choosing that: he is AWFUL at it. What he wants is to achieve success trough work and struggle, and his awesome powers don't help in his new career, and that's exactly what he needs. Nobody lost their purpose: Metroman had a purpose, defend Metrocity. Megamind has a purpose, doing villain things (he still does that when he is depressed, like blowing Metroman's Museum). But defending Metrocity bores Metroman because it's too easy for him, and doing villain things bores Megamind after Metroman's 'death' because it's also too easy. Both characters grow thanks to self-imposed challenges: Metroman becomes Musicman, and Megamind builds a Hero to fight against. They were unhappy not because they lost their purpose, but because they lost the struggle. So this is the message: don't do things only because they are easy, do the things that fulfill you, even if they are harder. Happiness is more important than success, and that's a powerful message in our success-obsessed society of today. It's not the main theme of the movie, but it's a interesting one, and that's why i'm commenting on it here.

Awesome reaction! I loved this movie for its' humor when I was younger, but watching it as I got older, they did really well at portraying the struggles of different archtypes and really making you connect and understand them. The one who just didn't fit in, the golden boy put on the pedestal, learning to make their own way, and the choices that they make. Love it!

Okay, calling Metroman "The Golden Retriever" was perfect! I never heard that one before, well done.

DreamWorks really needs to make a sequel to this movie! It absolutely deserves one!

there are several continuity details that some know, some don't. first was the forget me spray fizzling out (ran out before hal). second was the single frame of metroman appearing on the big display behind Megamind. one of my favorites was the Highway to hell being censored on every "hell" in the lyrics.

23:46 Is funny that Hal didn't really misspelled his villain name but most people confused his name with Titan when it's actually Tighten thats why it says Tightenville Ps. Loved the reaction, can you react to Sing?

Incredible plot, amazing soundtrack and great VAs. How is this movie so underrated!? Just because Despicable Me came out the same year (2010)?

Okay first off, love your reaction too the movie and love that you loved all the jokes. And second, those Stewie memes with Roxanne were freakin hilarious 😆

There is a post-credit scene that reveals what happened to Bernard.

The intro...once again is a masterpiece. BTW Sophie your mic sounds no different Lol

I gotta love the puns of Megamind and that musical taste. . . . . Hmmm awesome. . . . Edit1 nobody notice how Roxane change her dress color from Red (Metro man) to Blue (Megamind)

In all seriousness I felt so incredibly cheated when I saw this show (on VHS!) without ever previously being aware of its existence! It was a gem and should have gotten so much more love on release. Glad more are discovering it now.

This is one of the best Dreamworks/Pixar movies next to Kung Fu Panda in my opinion. I agree, it's definitely underated.

Megamind is such a good movie! David Cross as his minion is so good 😂 - Sam

6:45 Always loved how they already have this aggressively flirty banter WAY before they started falling in love

The reason Megamind didn't fly near the end was because he didn't have his flying tech (probably fell off or got broken during battle). When he was flying earlier as Metroman, he was wearing it, but it got cloaked. He was basically using all his tech to recreate Metroman in looks and abilities (which is why it's so GODDAMN smart that he got caught because of how he pronounced Metrocity). And from there, he faked it until he made it to make Titan leave, knowing he was no match for Metroman.

Who would I be without you? Me: MusicMan!

Part of the minion job description is getting taken for granted

22:02 "one oppressor changes to other, you know how it goes, it never ends well but you know..." that was basically a haiku...

Minion is a name given to henchmen of super villainsMinion is a name given to henchmen of super villains That's why the Minions got their name because their meaning in life is to serve a super villain

ENTP Characters: Megamind Tony Stark Bill Cipher Hades Ryuk

The main reason this movie is so underrated is because it was in theaters at the same time as 'Despicable Me'. For some reason when two great movies come out at the same time people tend to pick sides rather than just love both movies. People were accusing Megamind of ripping off 'minions' from Despicable Me and people who loved that movie tended not to watch this one. Stupid I know, but no one ever accused large crowds of being intelligent.

😂 that intro got me wow. But for real I like this movie, very underrated, one of the best animated movies I've seen in a while.

What's this? Someone watching one of my favorite animated movies for the first time? *five minutes in* Oh no, she's adorable!

5:16 Fun detail, the eye color never changes when they're in disguise like that.

26:20 Those were rocket boots, that watch only changes how he looks.

I don’t think Megamind killed anyone, he just kept escaping from jail so they upped his sentence lol

4:38 Love the eyeroll.

I'm so glad you loved it. I think its seriously one of the most underrated and overlooked movies.

If you think about it, Megamind and Nick from Zootopia are the same character. "If this is all they're gonna see when they look at me, I'm not going to dissuade them."

This film is criminally underrated. It unfortunately was released within a similar timeframe to Despicable Me (which of course had the bloody yellow minions to win over the kids) and unfortunately Megamind’s marketing was just not up to scratch for such an amazing story, so Despicable Me got the limelight and yet another amazing non-Shrek Dreamworks film got forgotten about. Except for the cult following and meme communities 😆 I’d highly recommend Rise of the Guardians if you haven’t seen it! That’s another of their best work!

Those prisoners take care of a blue alien child they didn't know. How cool was that

This movie is from my childhood. I loved it then, and love it even more now. Truly a legendary film. 👌 Oh, and I don’t think Megamind’s actually evil at all. In any way. He just plays the role, but nothing about him tells you that his instinct and his inherent personality is evil and malicious. He was just taught to do it, and then embraced it when trying to be good turned him away. He thought there were two roles and if he couldn’t be one, then he must be the other. It’s a little bit sad, if you think about it.

All I have to say is: *Minion is best fish boi*

16:36 I wonder, how in the world Minion sniffs there... I mean, he is in that glass helmet... 😅😂

"Girls, girls. You're both pretty 🙄 can I go home now? 😃" LOL

Like this movie, you're an underrated youtuber. You deserve more subscribers because your work is fantastic and entertaining; I really enjoyed the reaction

I'm glad Dreamworks made good movies like this one, the Dragons and Kung fu panda trilogies, Rise of the guardians (It's literally avengers for kids; a group of likable and funny heroes teamed up to defeat a serious and creepy villain. I love it :D) Spirit, Simbad, Road to Eldorado, Antz, Prince of egypt. I'm not that happy they made Boss baby 1 and 2, Shark tale and Turbo. Thoses were really awful! Except the animation, nothing about them was good or entertaining. The humor was lame, the music was boring, the characters were either stupid or annoying, the villain was a joke (The twist one in turbo was just horrible!) They got more good movies than bad ones luckily!

If you didn't know they made a kind of sequel to this! I think it's called the button of doom or something...

Sad thing is is that this movie was beaten by Despicable Me at the box office. 😢

Megamind is such a awesome movie ! I'm glad you are reacting to this wonderful movie !

To clear a few things up: Roxanne wasted time telling Megamind that she did look back, to get Megamind to notice the invisible car without revealing it to Tighten. If Tighten knew what it was he'd probably have just blown it up or something. Megamind's ability to fly wasn't from the disguise watch, he had a separate machine to mimic Metroman's powers strapped to his back. Tighten destroyed the machine during the fight before Megamind made it to the invisible car.

26:20 That was actually his jetpack that allowed him to fly.

22:22 "Honestly, i'm not sure if a more self-absorved hero EVER existed" Superman has a whole fortress in the artic called "Fortress of Solitude" only accesible to him. Batman has a cave filled to the top with Bat-stuff. Everything he has literally has "bat" in front of it. Ironman has multiple "Stark" branches. I mean... I can think of a few...

just a normal wendsday, falling in love with a guy and then realizing is the guy who killed my ex, but still dating him after the creepy guy who liked me try to kill both of us and then realizing my ex is actually alive but after all that we still being all happy together after killing the creepy dude... Seriously, roxanne has no peace

I watched this religiously as a kid and it was so underrated by people it's so good!

2:45 That entire bit about accepting other people is extremely relatable. I was never accepted by anyone expect family thought my entire childhood, now I'm also not accepted, to the point that when people se me literally for first time they start pushing me to the side and ignoring me like if I have a giant IDIOT written on my head. Seriously after 20 years it gets annoying:( at least I have 2 friends who were also rejected by everyone ( but now they re actually liked by many people, meanwhille for me nothing changed even if I tried and wanted to change everything). I have hope that it will change but not much is left from that hope...

9:42. Oh totally get that. I've got a similar thing with Killmonger. Of course I dont agree with the way he's fighting his battles, but... he's a hottie, so naturally I like him.

Megamind is nothing less than awesome and hilarious. 😂 and Dreamworks is the best animation-movie-producer (how is it called?) in my opinion also, I love your commenting and editing more with every reaction!

5:55, "Wait and see, they're gonna womit everywhere." Ah yes, my favourite Aardman series. Gallace and Womit.

"Why do I hate this child already?" That's kind of the point, he's supposed to be a stuck up, snobby parody of Superman.

Dreamworks is known for breaking stereotypes and poking fun at popular tropes in media

Thanks Sophie. Love watching movies with you!

This movie isn't talked about much because it came out at the same time as Despicable Me did. I don't have to tell you what happened there, do I?

In the beginning, when Megamind is ordering the laser to fire, if you pay really close attention, you see Metroman blip out for a second and show up behind Megamind, as foreshadowing for later when he's retelling the story about using his super speed to clear his head.

Fun fact about the flowers at 12:16 yellow roses represent friendship. Nothing romantic at all.

The yellow minions are under an entirely different company, don't worry! And I'll have you know that Golden Retriever is Brad Pitt 😁😁😁

5:51 I never realized the Elvis music in the background til now, but now that I do- it’s perfect. Goes with his hair. 😂

The ring tone of my cellphone is the SpongeBob theme, so I got totally confused when it started playing (at 14:20).

Also starring Tina Fey as Roxanne and David Cross as Minion

when she said: he's like there is no purpose in life. I couldn't believe she didn't watch it before

I feel like the characters are walmart brand Superman, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, Jimmy Gordon, and Injustice Superman

Oh also forget to mention in the last comment 😅 If you could react to Wall-E it would be Amazing, thank you!

I absolutely adore you for having minion be your favourite character INSTANTLY because he's mine too!

THIS IS AMAZING. Your reactions are hilarious and SPOT ON to how the fandom thinks. I really hope we've gained another person in the fandom!! ♥

I'm so glad this ended up in my recommended. New sub.
