Megamind 2 is a Cinematic Atrocity

Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate is the long-awaited sequel for Megamind, though not the sequel we hoped for. It is one of the worst animated movies I have seen in a very long time and an effortless cash grab.

Some executive saw the trend of people online praising Megamind a lot and decided to cash in on it, meanwhile someone in Dreamworks really had a good idea for Puss and Boots to pitch cause the previous movie was meh on release and didn't really get that much hype even way after to warrant some exec to put his hand in on.

[@jonasknorr2058]

This right here. Give an actual creative the chance to put their talents on display and you'll likely end up with something incredible.

The Button of Doom shows that there were so many interesting directions they could take the character in though as evidently he still has room to grow into the hero he was always destined to be, or maybe not to be, this film is just AI nonsense meant to syphon any bit of money they can generate off of the properties resurgent popularity which is why it fails so hard.

It sucks because Minion was such an iconic character. I get that they didn't want to have to deal with a lawsuit from Illumination, but... It's fucking Illumination. Even if you call your character Minion, first, they don't own the name. It's been around for centuries. Second, Megamind was released the same year as Despicable Me, and it sorta felt like Illumination and DreamWorks were challenging eachother to see who could make the better villain-to-hero animated movie. Yes, Illumination was the winner, but even then they will make another movie and it'll make them so much money regardless of how good it is. So this change was by far the most pointless one.

[@wolfherojohnson2766]

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.

I think an easy fix for the Doom Syndicate would be to make them _idolize_ Megamind, to the point where they believe he's their leader despite never meeting them. Not only does that make more sense and keeps the continuity, but it also leaves the story pretty much unaltered (for better or for worse).

[@somisimons]

...and since they idolize him so much and they don't know that he became a hero, they start to commit crimes in the name of Megamind, and Megamind gets hated by Metrocity's people again because they think Megamind is the one comitting the crimes. That's such an easy fix but it would significantly improve the plot.

That would explain why there's so many plotholes and contradictions in this one, including them introducing Megamind's mentor - which doesn't make sense since it was the prisoners who mentored him. This explanation would also work to explain why the original writers have their name on this product despite all these glaring storytelling errors.

it's absolutely mind boggling how one studio can have such a varying output, they made httyd, puss in boots: the last wish, the bad guys. they were on such a roll with decent to amazing output and then we have movies like this. ill just have to pray that they get back on track with "the wild robot".

Theory: The og writers purposely made the movie horrible so DreamWorks cannot put forward any more Megamind projects and leave the stand-alone masterpiece alone.

The true sequel is The Button Of Doom. Which is just a short yet it doesn't destroy anything the first movie had.

[@AlexG-jk8tc]

If I wrote this Megamind sequel: the film opens with a flashback. Megamind, at the peak of his villain career, wants to join the Doom Syndicate, who mock/reject him, calling him a loser. Minion jumps to Megamind's defense, and they walk away. Flash forward to present day, where the Doom Syndicate, unaware Megamind is now a hero, resurfaces in Metro City, wanting to recruit him for apparently killing Metro Man, claiming they "misjudged him". Megamind knows in his heart that it's wrong, but he now finds himself torn between his new, heroic identity and reverting to villainy now that these powerful people claim to respect. That and how it affects his relationships with Minion and Roxanne would be the driving conflict of the film. Nothing amazing, but I think it would be a MUCH better film than what we got. What do you think?

I still think that, to this day, Megamind is one of the best animated movies. I love everything about it, from the story, over the complex characters, all the way to the brilliant twist and phenomenal soundtrack (can you really fail with AC/DC? no, you can't). I really wanted a sequel, something made from heart like that original movie, so, naturally, I was excited when I saw there was a sequel in the making. However, words can't describe the rage and disappointment that I felt upon seeing this new atrocity. Look how they massacred our boy 😭 Lemme tell you, there's one way to spot an atrocity. Look at the background and the environment that the characters are in. In the original Mastermind, the whole environment was filled to the brim with details such as graffiti, trash, leaves, papers, cars, pedestrians- it felt REAL. The infrastructure felt like something worthwhile. This looks like a goddamn Miraculous episode (I hate to love it and love to hate that show, don't worry, I'm self aware)

But hey at least Megamind the button of doom was pretty great.
