There's a theory that the reason that Metroman chose music is because his powers won't help him. If he wants to get better, he actually has to try and put in the work to practice.

Not just that, he would need to manually limit himself quite a bit. Too strong, he'll snap the strings. Too fast, he can't get the rhythm.

[@la8ball]

That's the same theory I heard. Makes sense though. Like in Incredibles when Mr. Incredible found it hard working a desk job. Superman chose to be a reporter since he can keep updated faster on current events and didn't have to wait for something to be posted. Plus they get special excess to stuff not known to the public. He doesn't want higher positions because they don't actually go out and get the info and just wait for it to come to them. Better to be there in person and stop it then wait for someone to drive to the office and tell you what happened.

I haven't seen anyone predicting the Megamind pretends to be Metroman twist either

[@Drave_Jr.]

Because Megamind knows Metro Man so well, he can easily imitate him. The only clue you have before the reveal are the eyes, but very few would pay that close attention, and then Tighten figures him out only because Megamind's weird way with certain words

[@StoryMing]

There are not very many who predict that MetroMan faked his death, either, but there have been a few.

[@SaintoftheHonest]

If you wanna look back through the video, note the colours that Roxie wears. At the start, she's wearing Red, then as she starts coming around to Megamind as Bernard, what she's wearing changes to Purple. Then at the end, when she's accepted Megamind as he is, she's wearing Blue. Also, they cut out the mid credit scene: Bernard gets rehydrated in the washing machine and Minion has a go at Megamind for not emptying his pockets XD

[@wordcross]

I always wondered about that, it seemed to me that it was a gross oversight that Bernard was just sacrificed completely for the sake of the plot. Guess I should wait for mid/post credit scenes more often.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

One of the details I really like about the relationship between Metroman is the implication that while he started out genuinely disliking Megaman, as he matured he began to let his "rival" share the limelight each time they clashed. You can practically see his off-screen character growth, right up to the point where he eventually realized that all the pretending wasn't healthy or sustainable. Every one of their altercations would've been so effortless and un-engaging for him, but he could tell just how hard Megamind worked to set things up, so more then just play along he actively encouraged the guy with banter and narrow escapes. By the time the film starts, he's gone from rich schoolyard bully to unspoken friend. Just because you start off as a smug asshole doesn't mean you have to stay one.

[@waffleauflauf4213]

You put it better than I could. I absolutely love his character for that reason. Both he and Megamind have a great dynamic that I almost which we could have seen more of, but also love just how they balanced it within the story

It’s interesting that the first character to experience some growth was Metroman.

Metroman’s growth led to Megamind’s growth.

Megamind is one of my favorite animated movies and it hurts my heart every time to think that it went up against Despicable Me (which had a similar premise) and lost - because Illumination had the Minions. I love all the Superman references too - although THE DISRESPECT from the group GAWD

[@Kaempfdog]

Here’s the best way to look at Megamind, Metro Man and their effect on the world around them. They aren’t heroes OR villains. They are taking part in a school play and were assigned their roles. And they took both roles into being professional actors. It’s ALWAYS about the show, the presentation. Megamind’s methods never hurt anyone. It’s clear from how Roxanne treats his early threats. He wanted her to play her part, but like a show, it just LOOKS like she’s in danger. It’s all property damage, trolling…terrorism. But no one dies in this method. (You can’t possibly tell me he pronounces all those words wrong genuinely, and he just enjoys ticking people off by trolling them. He may be ostracized at school, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t hear people say these words.) He realizes he wants the other role, but he’s ASSIGNED his role, he can’t be another role unless he’s someone else. So he plays the director. And he made the WRONG cast choice but was too proud to choose someone else. He wants to escape not the show, but the tropes. He acts slightly entitled for Roxanne, but he is more saying I’m not ALLOWED to have these things because I’m the bad guy. You won’t LET me change. Metro Man straight up didn’t want this show anymore. He wanted another show. And one HE has to earn. Hence why he chose music. No physical training he always has done, no super power helping him do it, he has to actively learn how to play. And currently he’s awful and has to learn. Which is what he wants. Minion is more the backstage manager handling the costumes and helping the theatrics hit the perfect adrenaline. (Intentionally making those RIDICULOUS warm up times.) And when Megamind says he doesn’t want the role, Minion basically is saying the show may as well be canceled. Which it more or less was since all the cracks of the show WITHOUT Minion fell apart. Hal, was never in the show. He’s the camera guy. He WATCHES the show. He never played the role. He could only take what he assumed happened from watching. Metro Man got Roxanne because he saved her. Metro Man would never have died if he just put down Megamind. (There are MILLIONS of viewers that say that the hero should just kill the villain.) Not only was that untrue, but Hal never even fit in the roles in the first place. And showed exactly why someone LIKE Hal can’t have those powers. Because it’s not the power, it’s their control. And he has NONE. Because he never caught on this was a performance. He could act as he pleased because he wasn’t a character in the show. Roxanne realized as time went on how these guys saw their role and she decided to snap these people out with REALITY and not playing into their show. And it just kept getting her stuck in various versions until Hal was powerless, and she understood Megamind really was just as human as the rest of them.

[@Mariokemon]

I do think the mispronunciation is accidental, since 1) on the phone, Minion had to tell him its "hello" and then when pretending to be Metroman, he said Metrocity wrong, which tipped him off

A theory on why Megamind was just kept in prison since infancy: his own safety. If the prison gave him up, the government wold be the first to snatch up the alien life form that couldn't yet advocate for itself and disappear it into some underground lab forever. The warden and any other prison official who watched over him from the beginning probably realized that and did the best thing they could in the situation. As long as Megamind was under the prison's jurisdiction, the government couldn't touch him.

Solid reaction to a fantastic movie. A brilliant subversion on the superhero genre. Megamind never was an evil person. He was just a poor rejected soul that was pushed to that role of a "villain" cos he never had any other purpose or place of belonging. But he never was a bad person. Roxanne's line to him in the rain "did you really think I would be with you?" just broke my heart. It reinforces his insecurities. Why he was a villain in the first place. Cos he has nowhere else to belong, no one would accept him. That line from Roxanne brought him back to that harsh reality, after enjoying the dream as Bernard. His act as Bernard is who he truly was underneath the villain act. An intelligent softspoken person who wanted nothing but a connection with people. I love the growth from both him and Metroman. With Metroman, he always seemed like that dude that was a showoff prick as an immature kid... but with maturity, he actually turns out to be a decent dude. His rivalry with Megamind later on after the childhood years always looked liked a constant gag you pull with a friend. Even if Megamind never got that vibe, they really were friends in the end. Metroman knew Megamind never was a bad guy either, which was why he was so proud to see him be the hero accepted by all. Hal (or Tighten lol), is the definition of the Nice guy. The man legit thought just being nice or the "hero" gave him the right to get the girl. Just shows he never saw Roxanne as a person with her own feelings and desires, but as a conquest that he was entitled to. Just cos he was Nice. As a kid I never saw the red flags from him. Even from way back in the very beginning of the movie. I just saw him as a goofy chill dude and comic relief. But seeing the movie now as an adult, yeeah no wonder Roxanne never gave him a chance. She definitely felt those vibes coming from him. Even with Megamind who was chucking buzzsaws and shark tanks at her, she felt more safe and comfortable to be herself. I never got the sense she felt comfortable being with him, much less alone.

Obviously seeing Megamind risk his life to fix his mistake, stop Tighten, and save the city, were what probably confirmed she fell for the right guy but I'm pretty sure she was willing to give him a chance before that. Metrocity on the other hand, they never find out Metroman didn't die yet they all accepted Megamind cuz he saved them... they just forgot about Metroman or didn't care that their current hero had previously killed a hero huh

4:50 I guess but flash has a museums built after him and he’s one of the best heroes ever

[@marxmaiale9981]

If Megamind didn't come out VS Dispicable Me, it could have been the big superhero/villian movie.

[@PimPeccable]

7:25 The ape suit wayy predates fortnight. First appears in 1953's Robot Monster.

[@KEEPTALKIN8215]

4:04 oh no more superman slander. As a superman enjoyer it really shows how little people know about him because of a stigma they made in their head. That making new power stuff was back in the 50s.

[@tonybishop3686]

Snyder did irreparable damage to Superman's image

[@afrodemon8629]

So it's true

[@austinkaos3682]

I agree with you

[@MaigenMaylight]

Ain't no way I heard guy in the top right say that Superman never gets character growth and gets new powers out of nowhere to deal with his problems. That's such a silly surface level observation of the character that it genuinely hurts. That's how I know he's never read a Superman comic in his life or watched anything Superman related 😐

[@jellyowl2644]

This movie is a goldmine

[@Kaltsit-]

I am so glad Metro Man learned to not be a douche. He just wanted a different life. That’s some pretty cool character development.

[@fakepiggy4life]

To their point near the beginning superman is already a fully developed character, that is the entire point, he is quite literally supposed to be nearly perfect

[@Anton-de5vu]

“Superman is honestly the worst superhero” everyone who ever says that meatrides batman for being edgy and complicated when his “no killing rule” is the dumbest thing to ever come out of comics.

[@waffleauflauf4213]

I love y'all but I will not be taking this Superman slander. Especially in the animated Justice League show, his character is awesome. He's a perfect balance of ultra-powerful, and country boy (or "boyscout", as Batman calls him), and is all around charming. His foil with Batman especially helps his character shine through, both of them having the same morals but different methods, and a fun brotherly relationship where their opposing personalities bounce off each other. The Christmas episode of that show is one of my favorites, showing Clark's insistence in believing in Santa (granted, he's real in the DC universe), and the fact that his parents wrap his presents in lead so he can't peek.

[@342tv.]

Thank you. Couldn’t have said it any better

[@aliyahpulido953]

I read somewhere that the music used in the movie is NOTORIOUSLY hard to get rights to due to copyright, so they just... used it without permission, in true villain fashion. At least, that's what I've heard. I could be wrong, but wouldn't it be hilarious if it were true?!

[@Mr.Colagaming]

The sun is warming up

[@Theunholyborn]

Alot of people miss it but Roxanne isn't treated like a prize by Megamind, only by Hal. Hal is entitled, believes he deserves everything and if denied tries to force it or retaliate at the person who denied him what he feels he deserves. In fact the original audio for "What's wrong with me, chicks don't like bouncy houses!" Was actually "WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER, WHY. WON'T. SHE. LET. ME!!" Megamind said all the things leading up to "I don't get the girl", he wasn't insinuating he'd get her, he was saying him, the person he is, the person he is supposed to be, the bad boy, the Supervillain, the outcast. He doesn't get to be happy, he doesn't get praise, or adoration. Care, or love or affection. That's why when disguised he was so happy becausehe was normal, he had those. Hal is someone who expected to get everything for doing what is normal Megamind, never got to be normal in the first place.

[@sandorfalusi3486]

The biggest travesty in animation the last decade was that this movie got pushed to the sidelines because Despicable Me came out like half a year earlier.

[@marcosdheleno]

lets be honest, without the boom that was the minions phenomena, despicable me is just mediocre at best.

[@Necrosis-gt1zc]

4:07 you saying this proves you’ve never watched or read anything about a superman.

[@kierendale8659]

At least we know Boom hasn't read a superman book before. I bet he let's batman 10 years of prep time.

[@metastabillity8991]

Went from "Holy Shit! Metroman is a dick!" to "Im so happy Metroman is proud of Megamind for becoming the Hero"

[@etetgg1364]

They all basically already knew the plot :( Hal's true fate, MetroMan's status, the copper, and even the guard being Minion..

[@Feedback72]

I respect yall but this just screamed “i never read a superman comic” 😂

[@Frightknight15]

Such an underrated masterpiece

[@kiarya7939]

My favorite thing about this movie is that the actual villain is just a creepy incel that refuses to respect that no means no

[@MalkeTFC]

That dude of the bottom right FOR SURE already watched that movie like 10 times before

[@Jackie-McCann]

If I had a nickel for every time DreamWorks made a criminally underrated animated movie that was a parody/subversion of superhero tropes that I outright love to pieces, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird (and great) that it happened twice. (For anyone else wondering, the other movie I’m thinking of is Captain Underpants)

[@machipachis123]

Something i always love about this movie is that Megamind's actions show that hes not evil, hes never actually doing something because itll cause harm, but because he knows it attracts metro man, and for someone with super intelligence it must be boring to just do everyday things on earth so he needs to create elaborate traps and inventions so he doesnt go crazy. He could have definitely been a good person as a kid, and was a good person, but he realized that 1 noone wanted him to be good and 2 that it didnt matter because doing crime just sent him back to the only home hes had.

[@janedoe5229]

Metroman had capes and costumes like Elvis. I think he wanted to be Elvis. And then his "mantle" (cape) of being the hero was passed on to Megamind.

[@G-LukeJA]

4:08 Spoken like someone who has never read (or even watched) a good Superman story

[@captainteeko4579]

My FAVORITE thing is Tighten saying AND THERE IS NO QUEEN OF ENGLAND Bc now there’s not and there historically never was 😂😂😂

[@hipkiddo1252]

Never heard someone be more factually incorrect about Superman. You can tell hes never read a Superman comic in his life lmfao

[@hughjazz6300]

faxx

[@jRoy7]

Rango is a gem as well. I only rented it on a whim and it was so much better than I expected.

[@samuelvincent557]

I, seriously, love this film. It was such a fantastic subversion of all the typical superhero tropes. One of the things that was great about Megamind, himself, was that he was genuinely intelligent. He thought ahead and planned. He was quick on his feet and could improvise. When Roxanne was hinting he should look back, he got it instantly. And using his dehydration gun to save himself from the fall was beautiful. If I was to want anything added to this film, it would have been Metroman apologizing to Megamind for making him into a villain. Without his being a bully Megamind would have been an, entirely, different person, and Megaman could have ended their rivalry at anytime by owning up to his past. But, that would be, totally, out of character for Metroman, he is totally self-absorbed and, more than a little, narcissistic.

[@DW9427]

The cool thing about Megamind waiting for Tighten in his robot is that it plays Back in Black for his entrance then Loving You as he waits, because that's what the speaker was playing when Minion had it earlier at the start of the film.

[@Yugioh420]

An Easter egg of movie is Rosie's Cloths. She starts out in Mega Mans color red, she later changes to purple a mix of red and blue when she is conflicted about her emotions, then ends in blue when she is totally with Mega man

[@machipachis123]

I really like the fact that megamind, in his head, had the idea that if anything goes wrong to use the copper because its his weakness. But didnt use it when Tighten beat him, he fully accepted his loss and was ready to go to jail.

[@bradleybarnett1469]

Tell me you know nothing about Superman without TELLING ME you know nothing about Superman

[@zoboy0683]

These guys never had a child hood

[@raunjisto2925]

Superman is a top 10 superhero. Top right guy is crazy for saying he’s the worst. Give me more aspirational and moral characters please, thank you.

[@saltymisfit6566]

Just because you're THE villian doesn't mean you're A villian

[@saltymisfit6566]

I know it from another movie but my first thought was, "Just because you are bad guy doe not mean you are BAD guy"

[@ohma0320]

H-Man hasn't made a wrong guess. You've definitely watched this before.

[@colt1903]

I love how this reaction is just like: Beginning of the movie(Bad to the Bone): Perfectly in tact End of the movie(Michael Jackson): Completely muted When even the way the music is edited in the reaction videos tells a story, you know you've made a great movie. Now react to "Rango" please.

[@lafatte24]

Why is nobody talking about how amazing Ben Stiller is. I didn't recognize him as Bernard at all.

[@STRETCH999]

Wow Superman is literally the blueprint for superhero’s

[@OtakuJuanma2]

This is the eternal conflict the "Nice Guy" vs The nice guy.

[@shroomso4430]

With all the different versions of Superman that have spawned over the years (many of which had the same idea behind them) I think the original superman is still better. There's a lot of stuff filmmakers and animators could do with him, taking an inspiration from so many comics.

[@gotenurameshi8958]

A real hero doesn't need a museum huh? Then I guess the Flash isn't a real hero since he's got his own museum

[@sylph4252]

I will not stand for that Superman disrespect! Yall are looking at him wrong, Supes isn't about being put in a hard situation and changing to overcome it, like a traditional hero. The point is that an all powerful man who can choose to do or be anything chooses to be kind. He gets basically no character growth, because he's a paragon, what everyone is striving to be like. An inspiration to others, both within the story and irl. Plus, choosing not to change is also a character arc, so there's that

[@arulo848]

I saw this in the theater with my little sister (who would have been a pre-teen at the time). When the scene of Hal asking Roxanne to the party came up, she had me lean over. She whispered, "If this was an episode of SVU, he'd be the bad guy, right?" O_O Did not expect that question, honestly. But she was right.

[@rigo_ad9317]

3:36 wow, this small short term of events hurt me lol. One said supes is his favorite hero which is dope because he's in my top 5. And then one calls him the worst. Lol
