Are you kidding me!? AI would do better, taking into account the creativity from the original movie. This is just atrocious.

One of the lowest scores I've seen Austin give

[@EthanIlchert]

Here is an idea that could have been a better idea for the sequel (First keep the same actors and get better animation) Here the Doom Syndicate were actually fans of Megamind and were inspired by him to become supervillains. One day after Megamind “defeated” Metroman and took over Metrocity the soon to be Doom Syndicate meet each other and agreed to join forces with Megamind and help him take over the world. However by the time they got there he already defeated Tighten and became the next hero of Metrocity. The Doom Syndicate tries to get Megamind to return to his evil roots but after help from his friends and allies he refuses. This makes them angry where they now want to kill him, his friends, and the city out of spite. Basically making them a toxic fandom that hate any change to their idol that they itemize and prop up on a pedestal, and would be willing to kill their idol out of obsession, similar to how Hal/Tighten was an incel and wanted to kill Roxanne for rejecting his advances.

[@MathieuLeblanc1991]

Apparently the Doom Syndicate is from one of the Megamind portable games back in 2010 but all the members were different

[@ScottSullivanTV]

Haven't seen it, but calling it Megamind 2 feels like an insult.

[@icyy_hott__2485]

So I was on my movie app and seen megamind 2 and was like ohhhhhh shiiii watched like the first 5 min and I stopped watching it and went to this video I’m disappointed

[@gensischosen251]

I’m really disappointed at Dreamworks not giving Megamind 2 The Last Wish treatment

[@spawncampe]

Dreamworks is an anomaly, they're always hit or miss, I mean they gave us Sharktale, so no surprise when they produce garbage, but they don't come in waves of quality or lack there of, like Disney or Pixar, dreamworks is so unpredictable

[@maravreloaded]

This is the same company that made Boss Baby and 3 TROLLS MOVIES

[@themrlupo3591]

This was made 13 years ago though

[@dinohall2595]

If the target audience is 8- to 10-year-olds, none of them were even alive when the original Megamind came out. If the target audience is OG Megamind fans, even the kids who saw it in theaters are adults now, so it takes a more mature and clever movie to appeal to them (especially when the original was itself mature and clever). So who exactly did they think would want to watch this?

[@Barrie96]

Austin: “No animated movie is gonna be worse than Marmaduke.” Megamind 2: “Bet”

[@PokemonTheCardGamePocket]

I’ve been meaning to mention your intro/title is fucking rad. Keep up the great work man

[@AustinBurke]

Appreciate you!

[@jakedebruin2246]

The doom syndicate was actually planned to be in the first movie during a first draft, they even had them appear in the video game tie in. That being said they were different characters with different personalities and designs, and much better at that…

[@maravreloaded]

I'll say what everybody has said before. The REAL SEQUEL of Megamind was The Button of Doom.

[@aidanwhite8268]

It’s crazy to think how Pinocchio 2022 is better than this Peacock exclusive project

[@koolkidz6263]

5:31 why does it look like the balls just popped out of thin air instead of appearing from inside the machine

[@RattlesnakeJake101]

Look on the bright side at least we're getting Kung Fu Panda 4 and it looks miles better than Megamind vs the Doom syndicate.

[@movielover7565]

That's not exactly a high bar. It still looks awful.

[@samratvir]

@@movielover7565 people flocked because of the awesome og trilogy and after watching this shit came back disappointed just like me. it was just a quick cashgrab.

[@maravreloaded]

3:33 Comparing this with The Lion King 2 is kinda offensive. Yeah it was a cheap straight-to-dvd sequel, but at least it didn't look like trash. In fact it was of the "not as bad" Disney classics sequels. Comparing that with this COCOMELON hour-long special is ridiculous.

[@maravreloaded]

They changed Minion for CHUM Because I guess Universal can't have 2 kinds of Minions.

[@MegaSpideyman]

I never thought Megamind could or would be ruined. I never even thought it would get a sequel! Maybe it shouldn't have.

[@jimbubbatube]

I wonder how much of the writing and animation were assisted by generative AI. This could serve as a good example for what could go wrong when you lean on those tools too heavily.

[@AntsTheaterCorner2698]

Spread the word.

[@icecreamhero2375]

The Lion King direct to DVD movies were good. Especially 1 and a half.

i just wanna say... Lion king 1 and 1/2 is actually really good

[@dinahblakely1888]

Agreed 👍🏿

[@bluethesabertoothrat4892]

You might be surprised that Keith Ferguson voices Megamind in this new movie/TV show. you know the same guy that voices Bloo from foster’s home for imaginary friends

[@razorblademask]

Problem with streaming releases is they hide that these are literally just what straight to dvd/vhs sequels are.

[@mattjazzfan2288]

Jeremy Jahns has a good explanation of this in his Home Alone reboot review

[@crashban4t.f.s.b783]

The LionKing 2 is the best Disney sequel of all time. It’s a great movie that is done well. It’s not comparable to Megamid.

[@sergiovardanyan4285]

I love Megamind, i felt like i was one of the very few people who truly appreciated the movie when it came out and for the next few years. I didnt see real recognition for the movie until the last 5 years, and im gonna be honest, i didnt even know this "sequel" was coming out. What a downgrade, missed out on the best possible cash grab by making a real sequel or even a prequel.

[@hunterdean4766]

They ruin EVERYTHING. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Marvels, etc. They worry more about the race and gender of characters and crew instead of the writing.

[@MadailinBurnhope]

I feel like every animated kids show needs to step up its game since Camp Cretaceous

[@RobertMere]

Yo Austin when are you seeing kung fu panda 4? Saw it with my nephew a few hours ago and as a big fan of the first 2 movies I thought it was good enough, better than 3. But I definitely felt like some of that magic was missing.
