[@Changingtesting]

Unfortunately companies only see money now, and they don’t want to bother creating new and engaging IPs so they go back and milk off whatever they can. At least their other works had relatively cohesive and good sequels. But this one is low budget, reused assets, and has no good plot, it’s literally the opposite of what the original megamind was. It’s disappointing and I really hope people don’t support the megamind IP anymore because that’ll be doing what the company wants; as much as I wish that the movie will not make more than its budget the sad part is that the budget is so low it’s hard to not even make a profit

The point was that it was just Megamind and Metroman all this time, the only two aliens on earth, making them unique, special. This is why Megamind gets lonely, this is why he needs to CREATE a new hero, not find one. For a new villain it should’ve been a NEW villain in universe as well, perhaps inspired by when Megamind was a villain who is upset he’s a hero now and tries to get him to be a villain again if you want to do a similar plot to this for whatever reason.

[@crazyhairsinger]

YES. THANK YOU. You're the only one I've seen pointing that out. I hate the idea of having new villains and heroes because the whole point of the 1st movie was that only Megamind and Metroman were villains/heroes, because they were aliens.

Ok here's how I'd do it. The Doom Syndicate are not Megamind's colleagues, but instead his diehard fans. They were outcasts just like he was and so they modeled their identities around villainy as he did. The syndicate, Megamind realizes, are trying to push him onto the same pedestal he put Metroman on. Megamind has to try to convince them to abandon their evil ways whilst keeping the city free from crime in the meantime. Remove the self insert, throw in more scenes with Minion/Chum and Megamind strategizing, and have Roxanne try to play up the conflict for Megamind since he loves his presentation.

Here's what I think Megamind 2 should've been about. It should've been about Megamind earning Metrocity's trust.

It could be about Megamind adjusting to being a hero, but the town having trouble fully trusting him. The stigma could've even spread to Roxanne when a rumor starts popping up that she was secretly Megamind's girlfriend the whole time and might have been an accomplice in MetroMan's death.

If they had a real budget, I wouldn’t mind the existence of the doom syndicate. However I think their backstory should be that they were inspired by Megamind’s old villainy days as opposed to the dumb plot point that they were his old crew. It would play out so much better and be consistent timeline wise. Imagine the conflict being that Megamind experiences more consequences for his past actions and learning to turn the doom syndicate into hero’s like himself. Or having Megamind become 50/50 split on what is actually better, a hero or villain. How sad is it that this is a better idea than the story this multimillion company could do?

Most of the backlash coud've been easily avoided if the early rumour of a sequel were spoken by a marketing team and said "it is gonna be a kid's tv show."
