For a long time, I thought I must’ve been the only one who liked this movie as a kid, it never seemed to get any attention compared to Despicable Me. I liked both movies, but in retrospect, Megamind handled the concept of a villain who ends up being good much better. You’re right, this movie was made too early. Back then, the Superhero genre hadn’t been turned into a parody of itself yet. If this had been made in the late 2010s, I think more people would have understood what it was trying to do.

I'm sure I'm missing some other beats but the complete uprooting of stereotypes is at the core of the movie and it truly rides it's story fantastically.

Oh my! I remember when I watch it I thought that Metroman was kinda selfish for what he did BUT NOW so much years later I really resonate with him, I was the straight A+ Student in high school and my relatives always said that I would be the first Doctor of the family even when I always told them that I don’t like blood or gore in general and strait up told them that I didn’t wanted to be a doctor. In high school I found my passion in theater and art so now I’m in 3rd year studying Stage and Costume Design in college and my relatives casually drop a “WHAT A WASTE, YOU *WERE* SO SMART”, “YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST DOCTOR OF THE FAMILY BUT YOU DIDN'T WANTED TO” those just pisses me off but the worst one, the one that haunts me time to time is when my grandpa said to me ”YOU ARE SO SELFISH, YOU COULD HAVE USED THE INTELLIGENCE THAT YOU WERE GIFTED WITH TO SAVE LOTS OF LIFES BY BEING A DOCTOR” that was in the first year or college before the pandemic, so... now I kinda came to terms with that and I recognized that I am selfish in that regard, because I’ve chosen to prioritize my happiness for once instead of fulfilling family expectations, and I know myself and I know that I would suffer being a doctor since I have problems letting the other peoples problems affecting me too much, I know that life is like that but I’ll be devastated with every person that I couldn’t save, you could say that I’m not saving anyone now but my mental health is not strong enough to see those situations close, I just can’t. I’ve always thought that they just wanted me to be a doctor cuz of the money and the social recognition, to brag about it, but for my grandpa was like a responsibility that I had for being a gifted student. Like Metroman by being born with powers. Is so funny, my eldest cousin is a Dentist so my grandparents said that I would be able to achieve enter to study medicine but no thanks, and now my younger brother is on the nursing career, so yeah still not a doctor in the family. Also also when he talks about his grandchildren and what they are up to, he just doesn’t acknowledge me, I’m a shame, a waste of money an potencial so yeah. If someone read this far thanks for the psychology session. Sorry if my English is too bad, that’s not my first language.

@cookiesyruplover2 жыл бұрын
Thinking of ifs and maybes is a one way ticket to crazy town. You do what you want and chose what you'd least regret, what your family is doing is passing the regret to you because they want what you have, a choice. Your life is ahead of you and you should decide how it goes because at the end of the day, pleasing people is an endless and thankless job. But being authentic to yourself? Your wants? Your needs? You will find your people and although life won't be perfect, know that your "selfish choice" will lead you to wonderful things. It's better you learn early that most adults are bitter children and they actually don't know as much as you think. They are winging it as much as you and some people are just mean. Like spiteful bitter crankypants mean. They tear people down and think it's normal and healthy because most of the people around them enable it. They think they are right and their cruelty is tough love. FUCK THAT. Your existence is not an owed obligation. You are you and never let others gaslight you into thinking you're trash because you refused to be their doormat. It's never going to be easy being yourself, especially when it comes to "family" but that's just blood, it means nothing to actual bonds made by choices. Life needs you to be selfish because as you grow older, you realize that the person who's responsible for you is going to be you at the end of the day. You will need to learn what it takes to take care of yourself, know when you need a support group and what an actual supportive kind of love looks like. Once you learn this you gain insight on how to help others in your own way. You bring something in this world no one else can but only you can figure it out. There are no right or wrong answers to living but know you only got one. Honestly with how important it is I think that it could use some selfishness actually.

There is just one part I hardly disagree with. Hal was not harmless before he got his powers. He already had an very dangerous nice guy mentality: So Hal thinks he is entitled to sex as reward, because he thinks he's acting good or nice while completely disregarding everything about Roxanne, like her sexual self-determination, her wants etc. Hal gaslights Roxanne and acts as if she's insane (" She doesn't know what she's talking. You accidentally hugged him instead of me"). He doesn't care about Roxanne as a human being, he just views her as an object to posses and control. These Type of guys exist exactly the same way in real life and they can become stalkers, violent, aggressive or even murderers if they don't get want the believe they are entitled to. These type of guys take their guns to universities to shoot all the random women who he thinks he's entitled to, like an Incel. It's exactly what happens with Hal, in his interactions with Roxanne in the beginning, it's already foreshadowed how violent and obsessed he is: Like when he gaslights her, ignores everything she says and aggressively punches the car because Roxanne didn't wanna go on a date with him. As soon Hal finally finds a way to abuse his powers to get what believes he's entitled to, through his new super hero powers, he goes on full on violence: He takes her against her will and throws Roxanne through the air while flying, like a toy. And the moment Roxanne rejects him, he becomes even more violent: He yells at her, leaves Roxanne at the top of an tower to die and destroys the entire tower and attacks the town, just because she rejected him. It just proofs how selfish and ruthless Hal is as a person, he has no genuine affection for Roxanne he wants to control her. But the scariest part about him is that guys like this exist in real life, In real life he would stalk her, threaten her and even try to murder her.

Metroman said something that completely went over all of our heads. During his speech he asks the crowd, “Do you wanna know what the greatest honor you’ve given me is? Do you really wanna know?” And then he says it’s “the honor to serve you, the helpless people of Metro City. And at the end of every day, I often ask myself… who would I be, without you?” This is honestly so blunt if you don’t read it with the voice and the same tone. The tone it was in sounded humble and serious yet emotional. But the look he makes after saying that just shows how he feels about all this, hinting towards what he was gonna eventually do.

You have indeed made some excellent points, but there is one thing that is missed. People are not watching Marvel superhero movies 100% because they love superheroes. That's not how they garnered popularity. Marvel has garnered popularity by creating an ongoing story that overlaps from one movie, to the next movie, to the next movie, to the next phase of movies. That means that when you see a movie coming out about a superhero that you really like and have a great desire to watch, you need to watch most if not all the other movies that came before it, just to be up to speed with what is going with your favourite superhero right now.

I was 8-9 years old when Megamind first came out. I remember seeing it and liking it, but the message was so far over my head that I never really remembered it. Then, I rewatched it when I was older, and now at 20 years old, I can honestly say that this movie only gets better with time. I adore it, and the themes and messages often help me when I feel I've hit a roadblock in my life, and question whether or not I'm on the path I'm meant to be on.

You know looking back now, Hal/Tighten receiving superpowers due to a scientific chemical, feeling a big sense of entitlement for love and attention he believes he deserves, just because he's powerful enough to get away with anything, only to become evil out of petty reasons, even being so lazy by using only his laser eyes to cause destruction and harm, plus add in the quote: "All you're gifts, your powers, and you squander them for your own personal gain?!".... Yeah, the he's basically Homelander from The Boys.

One of the funniest things about this movie that no one talks about is how easily Megamind is able to create a serum replicating Metroman’s powers. And then a way to take them away in response. He really is superhuman, but he’s just been a child playing a game the entire time.

I am convinced that most modern movies start off with a great, central idea and a clear vision of achieving that purpose. Then they go through so many channels and filters that strip away almost everything until what is left is barely intelligible. The Doctor Strange "are you happy?" is a good example of this. The elements of a man with all the power in the world being unable to achieve what he most desires is supposed to be strongly contrasted with a person who decides that having power gives them the right to be happy. There's a great struggle and conflict between these two viewpoints which could have been beautifully expressed through Wanda and Doctor Strange. But hurr durr, me modern audience, me no like think. Me like bright light and loud noise.

Nope, Raimi just made a bad film. Even the most skilled make mistakes, especially when you haven’t done it for a while. Raimi said in a Rolling Stones interview that he had full creative control of that movie, the one caveat was that it needed to respect continuity with the previous films and set up the next, which wasn’t that big of a deal because although it established a few things the story was pretty self contained.

@@kangarooMonkee I'm not trying to redeem Raimi or anything like that.

@@mikedangerdoes maybe. Raimi says in the movie's audio commentary that in the first draft Wanda wasn't the villain until the last few scenes, and then she'd be the villain later, but him and the writer didn't want to save the best part till the ending and brought it forward, so I wonder how much different it would've been if they didn't make that change.

Using the part where they're trying to change the stereo was fucking golden... Also on your point about Shrek making fun of a genre that was dying, interesting how everyone is suddenly remembering how good megamind is now that MCU is years into crumbling in quality I think the thing about Metroman is that other than Tighten and Megamind, there ARE no super villains shown, nothing that the police can't take care of, and Megamind doesn't truly want to do harm and doesn't actually enjoy having power. So what about any of that would be his responsibility anyways? He has no obligation to keep up this charade so everything can stay the same forever, it's like when a responsible person in a toxic family goes no contact--the family will argue their purpose is to help their family keep the peace, because they're family and it's what the person does best--but that doesn't mean it's their responsibility to enable the toxic cycle, no matter what happens due to them leaving

I remember being legitimately surprised at how well they transition the immature, awkward nerd, played by Jonah Hill of all people, to a destructive, obsessive sociopath in what I’d thought would be just be another children’s movie. This film was more thoughtful than I thought it had right to be for what it was, but I thoroughly enjoyed how well made it was. This film is arguably among of the best of its genre because of its ability to include antics meant to amuse children while also being a genuinely awesome film, from its themes to its visuals. Even if it doesn’t get a sequel, especially since it arguably doesn’t need one unless the writing is able to match or surpass the quality of the first to justify it’s existence, it being remembered so fondly still has to count for something.

Megamind is the smartest deconstruction of the superhero genre that has ever been put to film. And it’s really funny. Actually funny. I love the film, I’m so glad someone made a video appreciating this gem. Great commentary. Funny stuff.

Roxanne’s part in all this is also very interesting. She thinks she’s open minded and doesn’t judge, but she’s been reading those three by their covers the whole time until she’s faced with the truth. Hal was always just a weird, probably harmless idiot, then suddenly he got power and revealed how much of an a-hole he really is and how little he cares about the person he’s claimed to love this whole time. Metroman was the always the selfless hero, but it turned out he willingly left his role and let the bad guy take over just because he had a midlife crisis (which is irresponsible, but I’m also pretty sure he realized long ago that he was the only reason Megamind was forced to be a villain, so Metroman probably figured Megamind would chill out once the hero was gone.) And in the end, even though she was mad at Megamind for lying to her, she was faced with the fact that the only thing he lied about was being Bernard. He really did grow up lonely and outcast (she finds that out when they go to the old school house, she probably also connects the dots that Megamind and Metroman went to school together and it negatively impacted both of them) He really did love her (made obvious when you compare how he took being dumped to Hal, and by the fact that afterwards, Megamind runs to her for help “because she’s the smartest person he knows” without expecting her to suddenly accept him or change her mind) He was never truly evil (In 1 day Hal caused way more damage and actual threats to people’s lives than Megamind had in his whole career) and He never got the chance to do anything good, so he was bad by default, and he completely gave up ever trying to do something good (made clear when they find Metroman and Megamind just gives up, because 1. The one thing Megamind thought he accomplished was a lie, he never killed Metroman, so Megamind in his own mind is just a loser. 2. if the hero won’t save them, why should the loser villain even try) So, yeah, Roxy was forced to accept that she was judging books by their covers, and that there was a lot more to the people she was closest to, and that’s probably why she forgives Megamind and starts dating him at the end. She probably thinks it’s her job to show Megamind what the world is like when people accept you for who you really are by being the first person to actually look at him for who he is and not for what he appears to be. TL/DR: I don’t think it was sudden for Roxy to get with Megamind in the end, and in some way she probably represents the audience throughout the movie.

And then the second time the self-acceptance they were showing really kicked in for me and that feeling still sticks with me to this day. Animated children’s movies should never be underestimated.
