[@mikeoxfat6081]

Megamind relationship with Roxanne was practically an important part of his character building

[@torytellstales]

I think they should've did a more serious and mature storyline for the sequel where Megamind is taking on more responsibilities as a hero and is trying to show he's not stressed to Roxanne, it could be revealed Roxanne finds out she's pregnant with Megamind's baby(that she obviously is afraid to tell Megamind at the moment due to his stress she knows he has), and meanwhile a new supervillain who is a step up from Megamind with mass weapons comes to town that Megamind is feeling intimidated by.....very intense stakes in a story that us adults will feel towards a sequel, since this sequel was indeed meant for the now adult audience That's what I would've done for the Megamind fans anyway if I was a DreamWorks executive Then the next movie could be about their kid going through development and going through an arc

[@masterseal0418]

Take the blame on DreamWorks' television division, as they also made Boss Baby Back in Business, and The Bad Guys Christmas Special. They just pulled a Disney Direct-to-video sequels tactic by making 'Megamind 2' a pilot to the Peacock-exclusive series. The sequel isn't bad due to the cast replacements, rather it's the animation, character assassination, and writing. I can't believe Megamind 2 could surpass Shark Tale as the lowest rated DreamWorks movie...

[@TheBlackShinigami]

Child me loved Shark Tales lol 😂 I still yell insecure one liners from that movie

[@thewolfofwallstreet627]

Shark Tales wasn't that bad. yeah, it's a generic by the numbers animated film, but it wasn't terrible. It was watchable in my opinion. I haven't seen Megamind 2, but it sounds awful. But then again, I can't say I'm surprised. The first movie was built off subverting people's expectations while cleverly satirizing the genre itself. Unlike "Despicable Me" that was clearly aimed at kids while being sensibly mature enough for adults, "Megamind" was more of an adult animated film that was sensible enough for kids to watch if that makes sense. changing the tone of that to now making Megamind 2 appeal exclusively to kids, while retconning things about the first movie that take away from the characters from the original is ridiculous. Granted, we've seen retcons happen all the time that worked. For example. Picard never suffered much PTSD to where he got blood hungry around the Borg, even after he he was one for awhile in Star Trek. Yet, when it came to the film, "Star Trek: First Contact", they retconned that to give Picard more of an arc in that film. However, the reason that worked was because even if it contradicted what was established before, it still made sense within the continuity of the franchise. Here? It doesn't make sense. Megamind knew the "Doom Syndicate?" And he had a floating brain mentor that we never heard of until now? Uh yeah that completely contradicts a lot of things that was established in the first film that would require a lot to go through.

[@twily4]

The animation in this movie reminds me of the animation of Miraculous Ladybug, I don't know how to explain it. I think its the backgrounds, like sure they're giant buildings and cityscapes, but they're... they feel empty. There's not shading or colorgrading, everything is just... nothing.

[@Random_Guy_20xx]

Googled it, yep. Similar animation. Also the series is called Miraculous: tales of ladybug and catnoir (not really important)..

[@Manglet762]

To be fair, it looks like any other Animated Kid Movie TV Show spinoff that you'd find in the 2000s or currently, Penguins of Madagascar or Kung Fu Panda {the Show not the movies} for example, which doesn't excuse it because THIS IS A MOVIE yet it looks like this!

[@peterang78]

Dreamswork shouldn't change Minion name to "Ol' Chum" just because Illumination own that name. They should've stand their ground, keep his name as Minion and make a good joke that poke jabs at Illumination. They do not need to bow down to anyone. Not Disney, nor Illumination.

[@solokid32]

Bro ong , I just commented something similar to this 😭

[@OwlBard]

The first Megamind is actually severely underrated in my opinion, it deserved better than this. Wasn't Roxanne's and Megamind's relationship the core of his development in the first movie? Why would you mess that up??

[@torytellstales]

Yeah, I know right?! I made another comment to someone else about this, but I sincerely believe if they were gonna make a dedicated sequel, it shouldve been more mature with even higher stakes, especially if DreamWorks was making this film marketed towards us now ADULT Megamind fans. Like for instance, Megamind feeling the pressures of being Metrocity's new hero and Roxanne is being a supportive loving girlfriend while Megamind is pretending hes not overwhelmed, then there could be a subplot of her finding out shes(oopsie)pregnant with his kid...and obviously she's hesitant to tell him because of knowing how much pressure he's already dealing with and confides in Minion to keep the pregnancy a secret until the time being(and Minion would act estatic at being an uncle) and at different points of the movie almost accidentally rats it out while also doing his best to support Megamind, and oh my goodness, Megamind wants Minion to keep his feelings of being under pressure a secret between him and Minion(and Minion sighs at all this secretive work he's now in charge of) To add even more stakes to this story, a new villain comes to town that could be more unpredictable than Megamind was in his past.... This sounds like a bit much, but since the first movie relies on emotions to draw the story, I figure this was the type of storyline to follow that gives these characters struggle and add more to their arcs with some funny dramatic moments us adults would definitely relate to Just because a movie was appealing to one generation doesn't mean you have to water it down and "baby'fie" it to make it appeal to a younger generation. They should've embraced a more mature approach, like I say.

[@miuh1540]

Its so sad to see what they did to my boy megamind 😢

[@moonwalker8391]

There's a short film that came out a year after Megamind released called Megamind: the button of doom that takes place after Megamind and Minion become heros of metrocity. And even though it is a short film it is 100% better than this hot garbage and in my opinion, is the better sequel. I highly recommend it, it's a great 16 minute watch

[@spiderlily723]

Let me fix this in literally 5 minutes: hearing Metroman is gone, villains break out because they assume Megamind defeated him as a trick to get control of the city. Pick someone he di get along with so there is emotional stakes where he wants to keep relationship with them, but they're a villain and they're hurting people so he has to stop them. Add comedy of Megamind constantly telling them he's a hero now, but they think it's a cover so they 'play along' all over the top for a while. They 'fight other villains' together, but the friend-villain thinks it's just to gather them in one place for finall attack and takes over from Minion as 'doing the behind the scenes work' so there is conflict here, too (you can have Megamind try to be kind by 'using Minion' less, but Minion wants to work for him so Megamind has to learn to accept people wanting to be with him). Roxanne could easily try to be hopeful, but then it's obvious there is something wrong going on and maybe SHE gets to save him this time, because he got caugh off guard, but she knew and was preparing for it so has contengency plans. Then go with the show where he meets other villains, works trough different problems. You can either go brave and adress WHY people become villains! Easiest episode, have someone replicate making Titan, but they turn out to be good person.

[@QuietBorb]

thats also ignoring the whole plot in the first one that megamind is alone...

[@spiderlily723]

@@QuietBorb Not really, because I don't say they were friends, I say 'he got along with' so they didn't like try to take each other out. Or you can just introduce new villans emboldened by Megamind 'killing' Metroman, being unwilling to disappoint them would still work as good emotional arc.

[@Peppmintleaf]

How can you have a mime villain yet NOT MAKE HIM MUTE?? I guess the obvious reasoning is because "it's cheaper to just have him speak than to make the extra effort to invent a unique style of communication" But IT COULD'VE WORKED!! Excuse me for geeking out but a mime villain is such an interesting concept, they are quiet, can "act" as different individuals to blend in and their color pallet is perfect for slipping into large crowds. I know Carmen Sandiego had a good mime villain, he can sneak around without being seen and can make a really good "tattle tale" because no one will every know he was there. anyways, lost opportunity to have another mime villain but I wasn't expecting much from dreamworks anyways.

But regarding a dream of being a big reporter that’s not a subplot of hers like at all whatsoever lol

I was already sad before from watching the trailer with you, and now I'm just depressed. Also, yeah, Bomb Voyage was the first thing I thought of too. This doesn't seem real and I would rather purge this from my mind and let it lay forgotten in the graveyard of failures.

[@severaldozenbugs]

Alright I've re-written the sequel in my head while watching this video so here is the breakdown of what really happened according to me Say it's a year after the events of the first movie. Megamind (MM) has, over time, proven his trustworthiness to Metrocity by helping with regular crimes and minor villains a-la-Incredibles style, both as a vigilante and as assistant to police. He is also the founder of a heroes league kinda like x-men but not exclusive to aliens/people with superpowers. Some of these people will feature occasionally in showdowns with minor villains. > One day, a New Hero (NH) of minor status comes to town, claiming to be from a few cities over, and sure enough people recognise her (i want a female villain hehe spoilers) and even Roxanne does a piece on her arrival (Rox loves her job btw she's a valued citizen). MM has the honour of showing NH around his lair and the city prison, boasting about his accomplishments and etc., but as it turns out, NH has heard his story and is something of a fan herself! > The pair work together for a while (with Minion!) in Metrocity. MM is (while not romantically interested in NH) enamored by her own tales of bravery and their mutual love of elaborate displays. NH is trying to effectively woo MM, thus making attempts to push Minion and Rox out of the picture. MM is a little too naiive still to realise that's what she's doing as he assumes she has the best intentions of sharing skills and experience with one another. >> The attention he's giving NH causes the secondary plot(s), where Roxanne is worried that she is losing to someone who seemingly has more to offer, especially since MM has less time for her now that she is both working more and NH is around. I kinda like the idea of a side character that is MM's biggest fan, but less of a girlboss and more a kid who acts like a kid (poss. heroes league programme kid), and they and Rox have funny squabbles over who is MM's real biggest fan (perhaps Roxanne borrows some ideas from side character to impress MM? before in the end ultimately realising there was nothing to worry about and no need to prove herself because she's already more than enough in MM's eyes). Additionally, we get Minion having a hunch that something is off about NH, and he conducts his own investigation, all while trying and failing to convince MM that she isn't who she says she is. This causes conflict because MM doesn't want to ruin his new friendship over his best friend being seemingly jealous - he believes Minion can learn to share him like he does with Rox. > NH slowly lulls MM into a false sense of security over the days/weeks of her being in town. He feels like they are somewhat kindered spirits as she shares her own woeful background of her peers misunderstanding her powers. Understandably, MM is moved and vows he will do anything he can to help NH be recognised for the true talent she is. There is an important moment where NH's face softens and she looks hopeful and young, like she genuinely believes him. Foreshadowing! Looks like she might even begin to regret manipulating this man. > Throughout the events of above, Minion has been lowkey stalking NH when she and MM are apart, noticing her slip money to sus people in dark alleyways and the like. We would have seen snippets of minor characters in prison or on the street where NH might introduce said character to MM as 'a friend'. Enough to be noticeable, but not enough to look significant at first glance. Meanwhile, Minion, with the help of our girl Rox, has been uncovering a conspiracy. NH has at some point in dialogue planted the seed of doubt in MM's mega mind that good and bad is a lot more nuanced than it seems, and throwing everyone in jail is perhaps not the right thing to do (this part needs work, motivation is a little basic here, but the gist is NH wants to break her fellow villains out of prison to wreak havoc and get her long awaited notoriety). She manipulates and convinces MM to aid her in breaking out ONE villain that she believes in imprisoned unjustly, and he agrees. > Minion and Rox try to talk him out of it, going so far as to have a massive argument and capture MM for an intervention, which he escapes from because he is of course brilliant and determined to stand up for what he thinks is right. Or, what he BELIEVES he thinks is right. However, on his way to rendezvous with NH, he starts to second-guess himself. MM continues as planned because he wants to show that goodness exists on a spectrum, and sometimes to do good, you have to be bad. Sadly, MM has been HOODWINKED and NH releases everyone in the high-security wing of prison. Ultimate betrayal - she seems upset to have disappointed MM. > MM rushes back to Metrocity to order a lockdown/evacuation, apologising to Minion and Rox for not listening to them. Big battle, MM and co. along with heroes league (who aren't terribly important to overall plot but some side character development would be cool) win of course, NH is remorseful and redeems herself by becoming part of a new rehabilitation programme where former villains learn how to harness their abilities/bloodlust in a way that is harmless or even beneficial for society. The end :3 It's far from a perfect story of course but I wrote that in 30-40 minutes and I like it better than whatever Doom Syndicate is (I may be biased). Anyway studios gotta pay their writers also if anyone finds my proposed synopsis interesting, maybe I'll write something for Ao3 xoxo

[@angrysnekgoeschomp3240]

This is a much better story! Love it!

[@MJCam1130]

In an alternate universe: “I wish Megamind had a sequel.” Me: “Be careful what you wish for…”

[@notsosadbart6343]

The could've shown us "the illiteracy beam" that was mentioned in the first movie but nah, tennis ball gun

[@Jenkyblep]

Tbh I feel bad for Megamind's new va, he's really done a phenomenal job with what he was given. But poor guy was given the role of imitating a legend.

[@AmyWritesIt]

I feel so bad that you had to watch this on our behalf. Thank you for getting brain rot for our sanity.

[@КГБКолДжорджКостанца]

you are cool person

[@WabiSabbii]

I’ve been dying for you to cover this 😩😩

[@crayoneater6034]

I didn't know this existed til I saw a notification from you. Let me go back in time, the world was better not knowing

[@theleaderoftheworld]

The only TRUE sequel to Megamind is 15 min short film Megamind: The Button of Doom.

[@artsyariii]

idk whats worse, them ending this "sequel" on a cliffhanger or the actual first season of the show on a cliffhanger just so they can promote to watch season 2 when it releases

[@Heavenly9999]

They renamed Minion to Old Chum to differentiate themselves from Despicable Me and the Minions since they have similar premises.

[@elsie8757]

Why'd they wait 14 years? The movies were in development at the same time!!

[@Aestheticchickennugget]

FUN FACT: Keith Ferguson also play reaper in overwatch… now every time I play him I imagine this horrible megamind impression saying “iT’s A pRaNk BrOs”

[@callmeturg1590]

Megamind vs chatgpt Megamind! vs the bughet cut! Megamind vs the box office Megamind! The fucked happen?

[@Jinbeizamezama]

This reds like a fanfic written by a teenager, with the annoying gen z kid being their super cool super hip everyone loves her self-insert and the new bad guys being their super cool OCs.

[@eggaroni]

Love u Pig, keep making these hilarious vids!

[@Troubledfortune]

In the future, whenever I find myself desperately wanting them to revive a piece of media from my childhood because it was so good and deserved to be expanded on, I’ll try to remember what they did to my blue boi and I’ll stomp that dream out. Example: Like I know we want Danny Phantom back. But can we weather the consequences?

[@Issei_Midoriya]

I find it funny how the number one thing people have been complaining about is the new voice of Megamind

[@adventurekitty101]

I feel so bad for that voice actor since he is most likely just doing what he was told when it comes to his Megamind voice. He may have auditioned with something more in line with Will Farrell’s voice, and the execs were like “It’s good, but do this instead.” Or something.

[@Issei_Midoriya]

@adventurekitty101 He's in other projects so he seems to be a good voice actor

[@alexthewrecker4666]

I like Will but the voice is definitely overhated

[@soffisoffy2709]

I think it’s because he used to voice Megamind but in a game and he sounded more like Megamind than here

[@solokid32]

As soon as I seen how the characters where moving 30 sec in I turnt that shit off 💀

[@thetwistedsavant5821]

The animation seemed familiar to me and I couldn't put my finger on it, but then it cam up in conversation randomly with some of my friends: it looks like Back to the Barnyard! Everything is just that little bit uncanny and overexaggerated and off juuust enough to make it feel WRONG.

[@MetalMeltdown1995]

I’ve not heard of a sequel till now

[@doneme152]

I still can’t believe this is the actual sequel

[@ItsHappyHourArchived]

Saw this a few weeks ago on peacock and was INSTANTLY HYPED. I said “OMG WHEN DID THIS COME OUT?” And then got to watching it and slowly realized the mistake that was made🥲. The CGI was clearly dated, with a PENCIL THIN upscale veil around it. Which i was willing to look past, since the OG film released 14 years ago and the sequel had been in development hell. So MAYBE the dated CGI was due to that sorta like duke nukem forevers deal. But on top of that, the plot was something fresh out of a Netflix follow up series levels of bad, and i just couldn’t deal with it. Very tragic considering a true sequel could have been a huge sucess

[@loya4182]

It looks like a random really poorly made miraculous episode... a mime, that stone-heart monster, weather girl...

[@HarnaiDigital]

As a 3D artist. This was a huge let down in quality both in terms of Visuals and Story. It's somehow worse than "Charlie Chaplin and co" cartoon from 2011. *Nevermind*

[@Tirnel_S]

I didn't know there was a sequel until this video.

[@RandomElfOnTheInternet]

I'm glad I am not the only person who saw Bomb Voyage in the mime villain guy.

[@thelordofthelostbraincells]

megamind the button of doom is the real sequel, and you can't change my mind

[@St1n4ray070]

At 19:17 I like PIG's impression of the floating brain than the actual voice

[@Jellifhish]

We’ve been waiting for years for a sequel, and I’m so sad…look how they massacred my boy 😭

[@PequenoGiant]

There's a sequel??? Love that you keep me updated at times, but imma continue to act like I know nothing of its existence

[@elsie8757]

The biggest smoking gun that whoever wrote this movie either never watched the original, or did but it was a long time ago/they weren't paying attention, is Megamind's unfinished evil plan to lift up the city and send it to the moon. Why the ever loving HELL would he want to do that?? His ultimate goal as a supervillain was to _defeat Metro Man specifically!_ He didn't want to harm anybody else, JUST Metro Man. The first movie's ENTIRE. PREMISE. Is based on the fact that he was so laser-focused on defeating Metro Man that he _literally didn't know what to do next_ once he finally accomplished that goal!

[@ShinjandKaworu]

I sadly had to watch the movie with my family and the entire thing felt like episodes of a show put together

[@jaydoesillymusic]

That brain in a jar kinda looks the dude from evil con carne

[@LetLolabool]

Pig I love the brighter room behind you!
