Amazing reaction, also, y'all don't need to react to the "sequel" Doom Syndicate, It was a cashgrab with none of the og cast that was just a launching board for a young kids spin-off show with worse animation and none of the heart.

There is a sequel, and from what I hear it is REALLY, REALLY bad.

[@TritopolisD2406]

It’s the best line and Megamind is right! Love this movie. The writing the soundtrack, the characters, etc. underrated by the kids but as we grow up we understand why this was so good

[@videohistory722]

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

[@adiahaalexander9359]

I nvr thought of that. Good catch

[@AndrewCheshire]

Yeah, good call.

[@veronicapena832]

That definitely makes sense! 😮

[@Dusk.EighthLegion]

@@piusdoe8984 Why would they? Unless you can actually play an instrument, super powers won't help shit.

[@TritopolisD2406]

I really love Megamind's arc. He was never truly a villain. He just accepted the role everyone labeled him as. And while he did enjoy his best friend Minion, the gadgets, the banter with Metroman, and the theatrics of it all, he never truly wanted world domination. So he tried to create a new hero, who turned out to be an actual villain. But with the help of those he cares about, he was able to defeat Titan and become the hero he was destined to be. It's a beautiful story, and an excellent subversion of stereotypical superhero genre tropes at the time.

[@アキコ2003]

@@timberlandboot5159 I said what I said. I dont believe in the concept of evil, as there is no proof there is some sort of evil and good energy exists and comes from the universe or something. It is just a human concept, not other living being has that concept. So I would call certain acts wrong in society, wrong like primal, survival, greed and ilogical hatred but not definitly not evil.

[@RS-bn1ty]

“It sounds like a Brad Pitt doing a George Clooney”….actually that’s really spot on 😂

[@amyriim]

no literally, watching the rest of the reaction thinking about that guess the whole time, this man was SPOT on

[@charlie7mason]

Perfectly described.

[@videohistory722]

In the beginning, Roxy is wearing a red dress as the opposite of blue, when she hates Megamind, a purple one when she's conflicted about him, and at the end a full on blue one when she's full on into him.

[@cloudy_cat11811]

Oh wow! That is a great observation! I love small details like that.

[@lady_draguliana784]

I love it when filmmakers visualize arcs like that 😋

[@Erasureeraser]

Fun Fact : Guillermo Del Toro was a creative consultant on this movie three weeks before the production was complete. His role was to assist the editing just to maintain the right tone the movie was going for

[@Heritage367]

It was his suggestion to start the movie with Megamind falling to his death. It was mentioned on the commentary track.

[@machipachis123]

What i love most about this is the subtleties of megamind's true morals, even from the beginning when he takes roxanne she is confident that shes never in any real danger, even before he contacts metroman she knows he wont actually harm her its just a big act

[@Jediel1823]

Yep, it really was just a game for Megamind and Metro Man. They went against each other with Metro Man always winning, but Megamind loved it. And Roxanne knows Megamind has a line he won't cross, and she's another player in this act. Megamind instituted a frequent kidnapped promotion, and Roxanne had the card for it. Their rivalry became friends just playing a game.

[@bromega2477]

@@Jediel1823Not sure if I’d go so far as saying he loved it, more like he just embraced the role that society gave him. I do agree that he was always a good person; even his schemes were just about taking over the city, not trying to kill anyone. Same with Metro Man: he never actually wanted to be a hero, but everyone expected him to be one just because he had powers. He was just a kid seeking attention, so he played along until he eventually realized that he wasn’t happy.

[@LeadrynMcKrotch]

​@@bromega2477and I think they did internally/subconsciously liked the game because of that. Weirdos do tend to group together IRL. So this was kind of their way of hanging out as the only weirdos in town

[@AndrewCheshire]

Fun fact: in the beginning where Metro Man is trapped and the death ray is warming up and they're both on the big screens for the whole crowd to see, for a single frame Metro Man disappears from his screen and appears behind Megamind--that's his whole superspeed existential crisis. 🤣

[@kaitlynsays]

“is this gonna be good?” dont you worry Roxy, youre about to witness one of the greatest superhero movies ever created 🙌🏻

[@AndrewCheshire]

You can remove the word "superhero" and the sentence still rings true.

[@judiciousjayel]

This and The Incredibles.

[@bruja_cat]

It’s extremely difficult to be “good” when everyone around you is constantly reinforcing that they do not accept you. When there’s literally zero positive feedback to your attempts to do things right, your attempts to BE GOOD, then what’s the point of even trying? That’s the deeper message of Megamind. He just needed ONE person to believe in him & we all need at least ONE person to support us. We can’t just define it as nature versus nurture because it’s LITERALLY BOTH.

[@KenSahaja]

You're on point!

[@MoramothHauntz]

He had Minion

[@videohistory722]

Megamind and Nick from Zootopia are basically the same character. "If this is all they're gonna see when they look at me, I'm not gonna try to convince them otherwise."

[@MarijnvdSterre]

"I'm not allowed to insult guests directly"

[@the_nikster1]

to Roxy's point, I just love how much this movie highlights the difference between being a "good" person and being a "nice" person. Hal was a "nice guy," but he was never a good person. whereas, Megamind was never really a "nice guy," but he was always a "good person." thanks so much for the reaction, John and Roxy! 😄

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

"Nice guy" has no meaning, all it means is "guy not interested in" Roxy just thinks "incel" means "mad women doesn't like him" because she's mediawashed I guess

[@StardustandMadness]

‘He’s Lex Blue-ther…’ bahahahahaha laughed even if Roxy didn’t

[@GOOSEYHOEE]

using megamind from the shitty sequel series in the thumbnail was a dirty move put some respect on the REAL megamind

[@ZER0O9]

Having watched the sequel series, i feel it's a bit overhated, of course I'm not saying they were good or anything, but there were some good ideas and concepts, just horribly executed.

[@Raptor213]

Roxy's dress actually shows her change through the movie. In the beginning, she wears red, which represents her loyalty to Metroman, who is a homage to Superman. As she starts spending time with megamind, she wears purple, a mix of red and blue. By the end of the movie, she wears blue, which represents Megamind.

You guys gotta react to 'Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs' - It's an underated animated classic that not many reactors have reacted too. (Also has a sequal)

[@videohistory722]

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.

Theres a psychatrist on youtube that used Hal and Megamind to explain the difference between "Nice and good" and it was spot on for the characters

[@FallenOne669]

Are you talking about Cinema Therapy?

[@videohistory722]

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.

[@sammiebray1661]

This is such an underrated movie and easily one of Wills top three movies, I will die on this hill.

It's almost mind blowing how good it is. I don't mean just as an animated type film or the plot either but cinematically.

42:12 He knows. He created Hal because he realizes how pointless and unfulfilling it is to do that, and he's calling Hal out because unlike Megamind, who's been denied the chance to be good time and time again, Hal has a choice, and he's actively choosing to be bad.
