Yeah, they did a few jokes like that. Another notable joke is Metro Man's song where he says he has eyes that can see through lead, which is famously the only thing Superman can't see through.

Hal/Titan/Tighten is a good deconstruction of the difference between a Good Guy and a "nice guy". He had all the makings of the underdog turned savior - but you can never judge a book by its cover. Just because someone seems humble and grounded while down doesn't guarantee they won't turn out to be a total monster once they gain some leverage.

No, actually, you could tell something was a bit off with Hal even before he gets powers. Granted you might think he’s still relatively harmless or wouldn’t go so VERY far wrong as he did, but the signs were there. “Humble” and “grounded” are two words that i would not say apply to Hal, at any time.

"Oh you're a villain alright. Just not a super one!" "Yeah? What's the difference?" *"PRESENTATION!"*

Want a gem even more forgotten? "Dofus: Julith", probably one of the best animated movie of all time, not lying. The only reason why it's unpopular is because it's french. Most people don't even know that French are amazing at animated shows 🤣 Arcane (yep, the LoL serie), Star Racers, Mystery Martin, Totally Spies, Code Lyoko, Miraculous Lady Bug, Galactik Football, Wakfu, Dragon Hunters, Once Upon a Time Man/Life,...

I love this movie because it's more mature than it looks: both Megamind and Metroman are in the grey spectrum and there is no clear answer with these guys (however, Metroman is darker). My favourite part is the "good guy" study in Hal, very educative

Hal is a “Nice Guy”. Not a good guy.

He wasn't changing because of Roxanne per say. He never got to experience what it's like to be "normal" and not forced into a role created by others expectations. While he was disguised around Roxanne he had a kind of freedom to reinvent himself as a person that he never had before. Meaning he could experience what life could've been like and what kind of person he could've been instead, if he had been given the opportunity to live a different kind of life with a different start than the life he's been living. Due to being "type-casted" by everyone else, he was deprived of the opportunity to truly explore being "good" at school. If he hadn't been judged before people could get to know him, he might've been able to make a friend beyond Minion that could've been a positive influence on him. In real life a baby would never be allowed to remain in prison so he would've probably been handed over to different authorities(possibly a lab as test subject), but this being fiction it can get away with it. That said, a different start in his life on Earth would've likely changed who he could've grown up to be. The movie just used the character Roxanne as a convenient means of providing Megamind with a positive influence that could broaden his awareness of new possibilities.

This movie is DreamWorks' answer to the question "what would happen if Lex Luthor killed Superman?" Also, I recommend watching"How to Train Your Dragon."

@MattTOB618

I think it's actually closer to "What if Joker killed Batman", because Lex at least has a real goal outside of "defeat the superhero" (even if I don't know what exactly it is). Joker, on the other hand, is almost entirely defined by his rivalry with Batman. Also, I agree with that recommendation.

@@MattTOB618 Except that’s the thing; Luthor’s non-Superman goal is _vague_ . iirc, All-Star Superman addresses what would come after, and it amounts to something that he absolutely could have achieved without dealing with Superman at all. So to say, his obsession with Superman is equivalent to Joker’s obsession with Batman, but where Joker honestly has nothing else going on, Lex is ignoring what he ‘can’ do in favor of what he ‘wants to’ do.

Loved your reaction to the movie, I always loved this one. I never got how it didn't get as much attention, a lot of people say it was copying "Despiable Me", though it's so different and orignal, lol. The only thing the two movies has in common was both were from a villians perspective, both were inventors, and both end up changing. Megamind has great style, and I liked how they used the different music for the film. It also plays on "Hero's being more than heros", and "What would Joker do without Batman?" question. Also the "What happens if you make an incel/'nice guy' the superhero?" Also, the reason he goes back to "prison" when he says he's going home is because it literally was his home. It's hard to get, but in this movie universe he just dropped in there, and they just decided he'd stay there and get raised.

ngl I actually get more hyped for you guys watching these movies than show episodes sometimes. Keep it up entertaining af 👍. Also megamind is a hidden gem of a disney movie and the fact that you get to root for the bad guy and see his whole perspective was a breath of fresh air and pretty underrated. I do think it gets kinda deep in concept though because megaminds whole goal was to defeat metroman and rule the city and once he did......he wasn't satisfied or fulfilled. It's the typical lesson of physical riches and status don't bring true happiness but it delivers it in a unique way which really makes the viewer understand why he feels empty rather than just saying "well if I had that I would be gassed give that shit to me man" that movies typically have us say. Kinda in-genius guess that's why it's called megamind 😂

this is the first video of y'all's I've seen and I already subscribed :D This was great! I really appreciate that you pause when you have side thoughts that might be long and distracting. I know reacting means talking during watching, but one of my personal pet peeves is when reactors talk over an entire scene with "oh, wasn't he in, uh, uh, what was that one show?" "the one with so and so?" "no no the other one, was it [x]?" "I dunno, I think it was..." "NO IT WAS [y]!" "Ohhh yeah! I loved that movie, with [actor]" "Wait what's going on?" "I don't know I missed it lol" and they don't rewind or pause XD I get it, just something that makes me wanna shake the screen sometimes, so when you paused to guess if Hal was Jonah Hill I was so thankful :P Anyway loved your commentary and reactions were A+! This is such a great movie and truly ahead of its time, showing the "Nice Guy" as the villain and how both Hal and Megamind feeling entitled to Roxanne in some way or another wasn't framed as love, but as toxic in Hal's case, and misguided in Megamind's case, until he really got to know and respect her and she was able to make her own decision knowing the truth. It's great to see, cause hollywood is full of "nice guy is misunderstood and the pretty girl is so shallow for not liking him back" stories that reward the guy for pestering and not respecting boundaries. It's great to see this subversion, and it makes sense why it's become such a cult classic lately! As for MetroMan, I think it's nuanced. Just because he *can* fight Megamind doesn't mean he's morally obligated to... but at the same time, leaving the city to fend for itself was arguably selfish... then again, he chose to follow his own passion and be the person he wants to be, rather than who he's expected to be or was raised to be -- and isn't that the thesis of this movie? "Destiny is not the path chosen for us, but the path we choose for ourselves." It's an interesting thing to think about, and I'm glad the movie didn't give us a black and white answer on that :)

At the end: "Am bad, am bad, the copyrights coming"))) infinity laughing activate)))

Megamind and Minion fighting and Minion packing up his things is my favourite scene from this movie 😂

This movie was ahead of it's time. Funny, wise, great satire of superhero movies long before Marvel overcooked the genre into oblivion.

you bring such a great energy to your reactions. I feel like im watching along with my cousins lol. would love to see your reaction to The Fifth Element!

The reason he became "Music Man" is because he is bad at music... it's something he isn't Naturally good at, and that appeals to him. He has to work to do it

Hal was a 'nice guy' before nice guys became the gralized term.

3:00 minutes in and you're already blowing my mind with the cinematic analysis, quality bro

Been so long since I watched this that i forgot about Titan and remembered it as "Metroman turned evil and was stopped by Megamind". To what you guys were talking about. I honestly have zero problems with Metroman staying away. He owed nobody anything, Roxanne yelling at him and throwing things at him (that ***** better pay for what she broke) is nothing more than selfishness and entitlement (She does not own him and has no rights to tell him what to do). He wasn't paid to be a hero. It's not like he made a vow to forever protect the world. He didn't have a tragic "Uncle Ben" moment to motivate him. He never asked anyone to build him a statue or make documentaries on him. The movie kinda copped out of a serious issue by making him drop superheroing for music but truth is he has his own life to live, he should have the right to quit anytime he wants and raise a family, live a normal life. Etc. The world just has to live with it and find ways to adapt.

This movie isn't Disney. It's DreamWorks.

Pleasantly surprised to see you fellas watching something I enjoyed so soon after Legend of Korra. It was great fun watching you guys enjoy this movie. Is it a great, thought provoking film that changes a man's life? No, it was not. Is it a really fun movie? F***, yes, it is. As for what I would do with MetroMan's powers? I'd be a hero. I might get burned out on it, probably faster than I would think. But for me, my "power fantasy" is being able to help people. I know it sounds silly, but at the same time, how long would it take for nihilistic mayhem to get old? Hell, that, more than anything, is what led MegaMind down the path he went. After winning, his victory felt empty, his prizes didn't actually matter to him. As for suggestions on movies to put in the queue... Akira is a classic anime movie, highly recommended. The Netflix Castlevania series is also something you guys might enjoy. Similar in theme to the Castlevania series, there are the two Vampire Hunter D anime movies. The Kung-Fu Panda movies are enjoyable. Oh, how about the Conan movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger (1982's Conan the Barbarian and the 1984 Conan the Destroyer)?

I'm actually surprised that Metromam was the ONLY superhero of Metrocity. If I'm not wrong, I believe there is actually a Metrocity in the DC comics. Metroman actually reminds me of Shazam! What a twist it would be if it was the case 😄 Anyway my point is, it would've been cool if Metroman had some teamates. So this way they can work toghether and take vacation once in a while as other team members look after the City 😎

Not sure what you guys have seen, or what genres are in your wheelhouse, but in the same superhero deconstruction vein, Watchmen is good. Alien is classic sci-fi-horror. Shutter Island is pretty good psychological horror. In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths are some of my personal favorites (both Martin McDonagh films) for more drama/comedy vibes. This is the End is hysterical if you just want to laugh and all the actors play themselves, plus Seth Rogen wrote it when he was a kid. War Dogs for Jonah hill doing what he does best + true story about criminal entrepreneurs. Cloud atlas is cool too, but it can be a little convoluted for some people. There’s also tons of classic crime fiction stuff which I’m not sure whether you guys have seen, like Tarantino stuff (Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, etc.) and Scorsese stuff (Goodfellas, The Departed, The Irishman). Just off the top of my head. Any of those would be excellent reaction content Great reaction btw, Megamind is hella slept on but holds up super well, especially if you grew up a comic head. Cool to see tropes get flipped and deconstructed
