I would have liked to see Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey do their roles less clownish; I think it's possible that they could have been considered among the best DC villains, if they had been allowed to actually go villains rather than fools. They both do have the chops for it.

I love how Music Man decided his true calling was something he wasn’t perfect at, something his powers can’t help with, something he actually has to try with and practice and work on through his own hard work, after being so perfect his whole life.

The reason you haven't heard of Megamind is that it was quickly overshadowed by "Despicable Me," which went on to be the better-known film. They were released pretty close to each other, and ofc the _other_ minions (and let's face it, the youngest little girl) took the world by storm. i believe that if Megamind had been released at another time, it would have done a lot better, because I haven't seen anyone yet who doesn't like the movie and doesn't get most of the in-jokes (like Space Dad being a direct copy of Jor-El as played by Brando, but talking with the voice Brando used in The Godfather).

Megamind's superhero entrance to GnR is frankly a Top 5 superhero entrance! It is amazing to say that about a smirking Dreamworks movie.

Fun fact: Megamind's clothes design, and his 'bad guy' treatment by society, was inspired by Alice Cooper, while Metroman's outfit was inspired by Elvis Presley. They even play one of Presley's songs after Metroman says "Put your hands in the air."

I like to think while the scene with Metroman looking at his costume was meant to fake you out and think it was him coming back afterward, what it really did mean is that IF Megamind had failed somehow, he was 100% about to step in. Like he said at the end though, he knew he had it in him. So Metroman just wasn't going to interfere until there was literally no other choice, but he was ready to.

Such a fun movie! Tackles the toxic "nice guys" really well. Plus, a wonderful soundtrack! Glad you are watching it!

The fact that the sequel changed Minion's name to Old Chum BECAUSE of Despicable Me is such an annoying addition to all the other things wrong with the sequel.

19:18 -- no, not exactly projecting. Many people point out that "squandering his abilities for personal gain" is exactly what Megamind himself does; except, in the first place, that's his _role:_ Megamind is the villain, he does bad things. Hal was supposed to be the *hero.* HE's not supposed to do the bad stuff. And in the second place, Megamind _isn't_ actually doing any of the things he does for his own personal gain. He's doing it because it is what is expected of him, and for love of the "game" -- the back-and-forth chase of fighting MetroMan-- not because he particularly wants the money and art and stuff, or gets any real satisfaction out of having it. The POINT is: Megamind has handed Hal an opportunity beyond anything he can even so much as dream of being worthy to aspire to himself-- the chance to be the Hero. And Hal tosses it away like worthless garbage.

I could go on for a long while on the subject on how I feel Megamind was robbed by Despicable Me.

its hard to see if you dont know but in the original scene when megamind "kills" metroman, you can see him disappear for a frame, which is when he uses the superspeed they show in the flashback

To be fair Brad Pitt can be pretty cool when it comes to money. He contacted guy ritchie saying he wanted to work with him and guy Ritchie said he couldn’t pay him a superstar wage and Brad Pitt said he didn’t care he just wanted to work with him.

I mean, the entire gist of this movie is in people not being who they're acting as, and it feels like that entirely slipped you by. Megamind isn't evil. He was told he was the bad guy, so he decided to fill those shoes. The only person he ever really uses any serious force on is the one person he's sure he can't succeed against. You can see his lack of harmful will in how Roxy has been kidnapped and presented with dangerous things, but he's never actually done anything to hurt her. He's a good person who got shunned and pushed into the role of villain. In contrast, you have Tighten who literally risks seriously harming everyone all the time because he is an evil person that Megamind tries to shove into the role of hero. He does not care about others, so their lives mean nothing to him even when he's trying to "act like a hero" himself at first. Meanwhile Metro Man is sort of neutral. He isn't good or evil, he's just some dude. He played the role of being the hero, but it's just an act. He isn't some noble person willing to sacrifice himself for others, so when he got bored, he left.

"PRESENTATION!" One of the best lines in a movie.

When Megamind is talking to Titan, he isn't projecting, well, not in the implied way. His core personality and upbringing beat into the very fabric of his being, that his gifts were bad, evil, and needed to be punished, whilst Metroman's gifts were admiral to the public. He is upset because Hal has the "admirable' power, and is squandering it; Megamind isn't squandering his power, because at its very core, it is "evil"

I still remember seeing this in theaters when it came out and having my mind blown! What a classic!

_Megamind_ is like _Highlander:_ There Can Be Only One. And there definitely isn't a sequel that utterly ruins the original retroactively and actively contradicts the entire Lore of the original. Nope. Very definitely. Doesn't exist. But seriously, I saw the trailer to Megamind 2 and was like, "Is this some subpar script for a _Despicable Me_ sequel they threw out? Because it doesn't even make sense in context of the Megamind movie!! It's the Despicable Me universe where tons of eccentric villains have been running around for deaces, forming entire villain societies. Whereas in the Megamind universe, there have always been only Megamind and Metro-Man, and both are space aliens. Megamind _never had_ a "team" of other supervillains... THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT that he was always alone and the only one he had was Minion! So M2 trying to invent "Megamind's old gang" of villains out of thin air -- who are absolutely cringeworthy on top of that, I mean, one of them looks exactly like that "French mime" joke villains from the start of _The Incredibles!_ -- actively contradicts the entire first movie!! And the predictable plot "Oh no, these other villains somehow didn't notice that Megamind is the hero of MetroCity now, even though it was on TV, and now for some reason Megamind has to pretend he is still a villain and then fight all three of them" is literally the plot of _Despicable Me 2!_ Come on.

You should watch Meg next. I did not watch it for the longest time because it was stupid and it was, but in a good way. You will enjoy it.

Great choice. I missed it and always wondered what it had been as a movie. It was better with your commentary. Have you ever seen Momento? I believe it would be a great movie for you to see. Very original story and very well shot.

Other nods to the superhero genre in this movie are Titan's real name is Hal Stewart: the two Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart, JK Simmons being in a Spider Man and Megamind/Minion getting stabbed by a huge building is from when Flash Gordon defeated Ming the Merciless.

Fun Fact:The real father form MegaMind took was a parody of Marlon Brando's Jor-El

LOVE this movie! Completely Slept on by too many!

6;59 if you pay attention you will see Metroman flickering and appearing behind Megamind.

As much as I despise Metro Man for what he was, I'll give him this much, when he got tired of saving the day for eternity, he didn't become the villain like so many others.

This movie in 3d is absolutely spectacular.

There is a really cool visual thing where at the beginning of the movie Roxanne is wearing red, which is Metro man's primary color. Then, as the movie progresses and she starts falling for Megamind, she starts wearing purple, which is a combination of red and blue, and by the end of the movie she's entirely wearing blue.
