After Hal got out of prison he realized he couldn't take revenge on Megamind normally due to his lack of superpowers. So instead he used his experience as a cameraman to create a terrible movie and spinoff series to ruin Megamind's reputation. It all makes sense...
The *FUCK* do you *MEAN* he *TAUGHT MEGAMIND?* Megamind was ejected from his planet, landed in prison, learned evil from living in prison, learned hatred from going to school, and become a super villain with his fish, Minion. There is no “Doom Syndicate”, there is no “Machiavillain”, and there is no Megamind 2.
“I wish megamind could’ve gotten a continuation instead of despicable me.” A young schaffrillas said a few years back. And somewhere, within the bowels of the universe, a gnarled finger on a monkey’s paw curled.
The sad thing is Despicable Me was derived from a pretty good concept/basis, it just unfortunately fell victim to toilet humour and overmarketing of minions etc 😭 milked tf out of it. I hate it when greed ruins a good idea. Megamind certainly felt deserving of a quality franchise
@@annierosemb In another universe, the monkey grants this wish too… annierosemb: Huh? Annierosemb wakes up and looks at their phone… they see… Annierosemb: They… they milked Megamind?! But I asked for a quality franchise specifically, monkey! M- monkey? Monkey-!
Megamind was a god level threat in the 1st movie, literally creating titan so he has someone to fight. They should instead have made a spinoff that focuses on a less central/powerful character. They could even have made a show about his home planet before it got destroyed. But no, it ended up being a show that only kids who cant write yet would watch.
@@MrCool-lo3lsI feel like if they wanted to make something easy, rather than make his opponents villains, make them heroes from other cities who he now needs to prove to that he’s actually gone straight and this isn’t just another extremely-elaborate plot to conquer the world. That way it could’ve expanded the world while not completely ruining what happened in the first movie. If the writers were good, they could expand on the “proving yourself to others or accepting yourself regardless of others” angle. More heroes would also be cool, and it could lead to new cities as new settings for a show, maybe have an episode where he has to help a different city. I’m not a writer though so this could totally be just as shitty.
People may said that Megamind not even close to Metroman. True. But people should realize even with simple preparation, Megamind could destroy the entire city easily if he want to, he also can create something that much powerfull than him and his old creation itself. TELL ME, HOW THE FCK THE CLOWN GROUP THAT CAN'T EVEN DESTROY BUILDING OR CREATE HUGE TERROR FOR CITY, MAKE MEGAMIND SCARED!!!!!
Fun fact: the Doom Syndicate were actually characters scrapped from the first film, but the versions for the first movie were way cooler. There was one disco villain named Psychodelic who appears in one of the Megamind video games and is voiced by KEITH DAVID. We were absolutely robbed here.
They could have had Keith David, but instead settled for discount Will Arnett who sometimes sounds like Patrick Warburton. Knighty Night's voice is comically inconsistent during the movie.
Fun Fact: The Doom Syndicate were actually going to be in the original film but were cut, the lava guy being the only one that's directly the same as the concept art. This does mean though, that the one thing this series really took from the original, was the thing the original movie thought was bad and shouldn't be done.
The dilemma of cut content that people tend to forget. If you find a cool piece of concept art that isn't in the final product but you feel it should've been, there are three simple reasons why it isn't: 1. It didn't fit the story. 2. It distracted from the story. 3. It sucked.
@@polkadiif defiantly would have been all three. Him being a loner and outcast and having minion his only friend was one of the things that made the movie great and sympathetic. If he had friends it wouldn’t have that. Plus you have to develop them and their relationships and all that. Sorry I’m blabbing lol
The little girl's design cracks me up. She dresses like she is from the 00s, is a cool influencer, and overall radiates "How do you do fellow kids" energy
Here’s a thought regarding Megamind’s dehydration gun. Say the lava guy is immune to it. He’s made of rock and lava, so he’s got no hydration to speak of. Maybe have Megamind try and use the dehydration gun on the villains, but they use the lava guy as a shield. Or maybe also have a villain with some water power, like a water gun or some way to manipulate water, so if Megamind were to use the dehydration gun on the villains, this water villain could regenerate them. It wouldn’t save the movie / series, but it would’ve saved our vocal chords from the pain of screaming at the screen
He doesn't even have to dehydrate them. The gun has multiple settings, like death ray and destroy. Guy has multiple options at his disposal and be picks none of them
if there was a water villain in the team, maybe they use him as a shield, because a water man getting dehydrated would probably just outright kill him, and with the shared past and general behaviour megamind probably wouldn’t want to do that. literally just “you can’t pull the trigger, you can’t even try”
Well, puss in boots also got a dogshit tv show before the last wish, so maybe there's a small chance that we get a proper megamind sequel in the future after all
You see Megamind was already at max movie quality, so when it got the Dreamwork sequel buff it couldn't go any higher and instead went to the lowest Quality value.
Here’s how I would make the doom syndicate an actual threat: - lady Doppler: has full control over the surrounding air, being able to summon dust, sand, and fire storms out of practically no where, she can also manipulate electricity into a defensive or offensive weapon, she can also use the air to levitate and even fly - behemoth: besides his obvious immense physical strength (which far surpasses that of his comrades) he can use his extreme body temperature to burn or melt almost any material, he can also harden any part of his body to become nearly invulnerable to attacks , can breath fire and spit streams of lava, and finally, any material behemoth melts, he can absorb it to grow in size, the more matter he absorbs, the more his size, strength, durability, and abilities multiply - nighty knight: can turn into a dark mist, becoming invulnerable to physical attacks. He also has superhuman strength, speed, durability, and reflexes in his humanoid form, and from the shadows he can materialize any know bladed weapon, and mastered in the wielding of each one - Pierre Pressure: his mind control range and effectiveness multiplies, as in he could now mind control an entire crowd of people with just a flick of his finger, and can shape shift as well as a bonus, they're now also much more cunning and ruthless. Also, they don’t get into pointless arguments nor bombard the audience with bad jokes
This would definitely be a better description of their abilities and a better showcase too. A shame that 🦃C*CK never thought about it and priceeded to make a movie for the kids of the gen who spend the rest of their lives watching Skibidi Toilet, Ohio and Brazil memes and anything else thatmelts your brain into nothingness.
Another error I have noticed in the show is how whenever someone uses the disguise watch, their eyes are the same as the character they're disguised as. Meaning they couldn't be bothered to change it and just took the models of the characters.
I'd like to imagine that inbetween movies, Megamind upgraded the watch so that it also disguises the user's eyes and voice, but I doubt that would be a focus of his if that gap really is just a few days
The Dehydration Gun could've given us a hilarious visual gag of him handing a bucket full of cubes to the police. "Remember to soak them AFTER you put them in their cells."
The most laughable shit ever is the fact that despite Megamind and Metro Man being the ONLY SUPERS ON EARTH because they’re the sole survivors of literal ALIEN RACES, the fking DOOM SYNDICATE and a FLOATING BRAIN exist with no explanation whatsoever!
I think The Last Wish already proved that. We live in a universe where Puss In Boots: The Last Wish- a sequel to a spinoff to a sequel- was a massive success while Megamind 2 looks like the show.
@@Regigigas_YT probably Oscar having a midlife crisis and going back in time in a world where he doesn't exist and then facing god, the subplot being Ruby Gillman and Ariel 2023 having a forgiven relationship Sounds better than megamind 2
this isnt a sequel its an au. even in the video he says this isnt megamind 2 i dont just mean this as a "its so bad it shouldnt be in the same series". like it actually doesnt fit the definition of a sequel
And he also mentioned a sequel to WIR? IDK what he's smoking, cuz that never happened. And if it did, it wouldn't have been shitty and Ralph's character specifically would not be so thoroughly assassinated. Nope! Doesn't exist.
The lack of the dehydration gun as The Obvious Solution is compounded by the fact that Megamind is downright triggerhappy with the thing in the original film, to the point where it is his *go to panic option*
And it would have been such an easy fix; just have Gale re-hydrate the villains hit by the ray or cancel out the ray itself with her mutable condensation weather every time
@@charmandyorton006 Or even, like, have that near miss with the shark in the opening be an even nearer miss where it manages to eat the gun a bit before getting dehydrated. Boom, an excuse has just been made to never use it again in the movie period. Hell, if you wanted to go further, say that the dehydration gun was one of a kind and impossible to replicate, and you've made an excuse for the show too.
With that said, can an argument be made that he should have used it on Titan when things got serious? I'm not defending this movie, I'm just wondering of the dehydration gun is a plot hole in the first one.
For your information Schaffrillas, the reason this show and movie happend was because 2 days after I became defender of Metrocity, Minion offered me a pint of lager and I drank it. However it turns out that someone had put dangerous drugs into my drink and the next thig you know, I went on an acid trip and everything that happened on this acid trip was in both Megamind Vs The Doom Syndicate and Megamind Rules when I woke up Minion and Roxanne got me to hospital and it took me like 72 hours to recover. So stop saying this movie and show is canon. Just before I woke up the network executives who own Peacock said that they were trying to make the show and movie bad on purpose to piss off everyone who loved the original. In conclusion, you know why this movie and show exist because the main character has explained it. #GetMegamind2RemovedFromPeacock
He's broken. He got through all of Illumination's works, Shrek 3, and every Disney sequel. But Megamind 2 sounds like its given him more pain than any of these.
Yeah cause this is exactly why many were glad the movie never got a sequel. It was a self contained story about a guy’s personal growth as a person and that never needed a sequel. This movie is the embodiment of what a once dreaded megamind 2 movie would be. Cheap, shallow and clearly has no story to tell or a reason to exist.
But at least Diamondbolt when mentioning it recently next to Pacific Rim: Uprising didn’t go fucking mental when talking about a dehydration gun and just forgot about all of it instead after watching it. We should ALL do the same.
@@CHECKthisvid keep in mind dude all of these videos are scripted for our entertainment James probably had those exact thoughts watching it and decided to write them in
*Here's how in my eyes they could have 'fixed' Megamind 2.* *First off, make it so this isn't 2 days after the events with Tighten, have it be at minimum a couple of months.* *Instead of having Minion changing his name because of a legal demand that is a meta joke at the minions, have it instead be the owner complaining to change his name because it is 'allegedly' confusing people, but Minion himself decides he wants a more fitting name, and then resolved by the end with him deciding 'Ol Chum' or whatever by then climax or near ending.* *Have annoying kid, rather than be some streamer trying to film Megamind, be a kid who preferred Megamind as a villain and thought he was cooler. And wants him to go back to being a villain and tries to 'corrupt him' but grows too appreciate him better as a Hero. Could have her become Megamind's sidekick or new student(Since Minion is now his partner instead of Sidekick) or such.* *Instead of just being an idiotic asshole, have Megamind run into a similar problem of the first film; He had no one too fight. Villains need hero's and Hero's need villains, but just because he swapped roles doesn't change he lacks a villain to fight.* *He can still help but he finds the job boring without someone actually a threat to fight against. Could potentially end the film with him resolving to use his position as hero too help people rather than just too fight crime, use it to make Metrocity better than it was before.* *Instead of being 'founded' by Megamind being a core member, have the Doom Syndicate be a group of villains that were inspired by Megamind and came too Metro City too convert him back into Villainy, which would make them a foil with annoying kid's new role, as they are a far more vile example of genuine villainy rather than just 'He was cooler as a villain', could give them sympathetic backstories like Megamind, give potential for redemption or just leave them in jail by end of movie as the new villains he will get to fight.* *The idea that Megamind was considered by other villains or people to be an inspiration would show even as a villain he was popular or liked in a way.* *Have Metro-City a bit more conflicted on Megamind compared to Metro Man, he did 'kill the guy' so it would make sense they are a bit hesitant to trust him, even if he stopped Tighten, could end with him fully being loved by the city or accepting that you can't please everybody.* *Could do a subplot with Roxanne as without anything interesting as a reporter without a big villain to fight against the hero, news would likely decline for Metrocity, not sure how that could be resolved, but plenty of ways it could if the Doom Syndicate are now the recurring villains.* *Have Megamind be hesitant to fight the Syndicate, not because he can't, but because he is sympathetic too their life and tries to potentially redeem them, could end either with him ultimately realising it doesn't excuse what they do(Being likely more murderous versions of him without remorse for killing, in comparison to Megamind as far as we know not intentionally ever killing anyone).* *The closest he ever got was Metro Man and even then it doesn't count as he didn't expect him to die, nor was he actually dead). End either wanting to redeem them still or accepting them as his new enemies, giving him more excitement in life.* *If Machiavillain actually exists, instead of a mentor to Megamind, have him be another of his race who survived the destruction of their planet(Either body destroyed or having been traveling space) which could play into a third film or whatever if it is done.* *Alternatively, bring back Hal potentially regaining his powers and wanting revenge...* And finally; He beats them using the f*cking dehydration gun :) I'll fully admit, this isn't a perfect idea for how the film could have gone, as I am not a movie writer, but I feel it would have at least worked better than what we actually got.
Ah yes the classic “random dude online wrote a better fucking movie than the multi million dollar company” you live to see how simple it is to be an effective sequel, thanks bro you’ve done it justice
Bro, the potentials from this comment alone are insane. But alas, somehow some random internet user came up with a far better solution than a multi-million dollar company.
As an addendum, what could be interesting is watching Megamind struggle to break his old habits and come into his own as a hero. So he ends up swinging between 'just normal old evil Megamind but who beats up villains instead of heroes' and 'overcompensating by aping Metroman too much'. That would be a really interesting struggle, and as a bonus it plays into your point about the citizens of Metrocity not fully trusting Megamind yet. And it would also open the door to a whole host of gags. Here are a few that I just thought up: → Megamind goes shopping but forgets to pay because he's so used to stealing → Megamind tries to copy Metroman's mannerisms to a cringe-inducing extent → Metroman offers to come back anonymously as a villain so he can have a nemesis to occupy him → Megamind sees a cat stuck in a tree and tries to save it by blowing up the tree
Fun fact: There was a Megamind video game called Megamind: Ultimate Showdown which featured the doom syndicate. So technically. Megamind vs The Doom syndicate is a video game adaptation AND a movie sequel.
Pity they cut Psycho-Delic from the team. I think he's kinda fun. According to the wiki he was almost in the movie. My guess is that they couldn't get Keith David to reprise the roll.
The sponsorship was the most entertaining part of this video, and not because of Schafrillas. No, it was because the Megamind sequel and TV show was just THAT bad.
The fact that this movie looks like it was made for just children yet the original fans of Megamind are clearly adults by now and no kids today would be remotely as aware of the existence of Megamind as the old fans would is extremely confusing. So who exactly was this made for?
Probably this movie was made for the kids who only watch Skibidi toilet, Ohio memes, say gyat, rizz and mew and are the "lost cause of this society" because their brains are F**KING ROTTED AND HAVE NO THOUGHT WHATSOEVER.
Honestly, it wouldve been a fun twist if Megamind used the dehydration gun on the Lava guy and it didn't work because there's no moisture to remove from lava. But instead, we get the portaprison.
Yeah. You'd have to be a masochist to actually watch this yourself. Haha. Get it? It's funny because I did that. You see the joke is that I'm making fun of myself bec- Why do I hate myself so much?! Do I just get off on being miserable? Is that it?... Ew.
@@I_Exist557although it could be forgiven if it had good writing and story. How to train your dragon: Race to the edge had pretty mediocre animation but still held up the standard with the storyline and ACTUAL CONTINUITY. This absolute sin to cinematography is nothing of that.
@@notapeopleperson6761it was from Netflix plus it was a tv show if definitely had to cut on budget in some places however it still worked as a in between second and third movie
You know, when I first heard of this movie I thought the premise was a new group of Villains showing up inspired by Megaminds PRESENTATION in his past villainy, and Megamind would have to protect the city from them and realize that he maybe did more harm than he realized in the past. Something simple. To find out that the actual plot was both more complicated and much worse than what I had guessed was... Really disheartening.
16:04 I'd like to mention that in the TRUE movie, they still used flip phones. So, in the span of two days, they went from flip phones to smart phones and live streaming
I never seen sing or sing 2 but man i perfer to watch those than trolls form the trailer the character lookike their layer to them instead of troll where they're more like scotcom gag
@@thememejester1792And have them ruined years later? Maybe it's for the best but if there does come a time where both of those get a sequel, I will try to give it a chance
@@thunderousavenger2382 I mean, maybe cause I havent watched it in a while? I went into expecting beeg robot fights, that's what I got. Now that I recall, it seemed like most of the story was kinda forced...
@@Regigigas_YT its not just the story, but also the fights themselves were bad. They felt weithtless and unrealistic. In the first movie you felt every movement, imact and punch. There the mechs felt and acted like mechs with their own limitations etc. In the second movie its already unrealistic as hell how oene girl could build her own. Without even any equipment to aid her whatsoever. There is so so many flaws in the second movie id be writing a whole novel if i were to continue. I recommend just watching some critical videos on the second movie. Imo it just cant compete and was a huge let down.
@@spimblesthey've been hoarding powerful items (one time use spells, magical arrows etc) and haven't been using them in case they need them later. Their mum thinks resource management is important and is annoyed they're too scared to use those limited resources to begin with. Hope this helps :))
They can’t get MetroMan to help stop the bad guy because he retired at the end of the first film. They can’t even make the conclusion faithful to the original movie. 🤦♀️
“It’s crazy how Cars 2 is better than this movie.” Yeah the thing about Cars 2, Despicable Me 2-3, Minions, Rise of Gru, Turbo, Shrek III, the straight to VHS sequels, and Rise of Skywalker is that despite their many many flaws, at least they don’t have the look and feel of a shitty Shovelware games that costs 1000 Wii Points.
Megamind not being able to figure out how to use a toaster is particularly outrageous to me since one of the very first things established in the first movie is that he's been able to take common objects and appliances and use them to create more complex stuff, HE USED HIS BINKY AS A LASER WHEN HE WAS JUST A BABY IN PRISION he not only would know how to use a toaster, he could make a weapon out of it with a screwdriver and a hammer or something, it's like the writers did the worst possible job they could do as a plea for help, as if they had them hostages (which depending on how they're paid I guess it could be right)
Oh yeah. Most of megamind's issues in the movie are largely social. Obviously being in prison for a bunch of years and being socially isolated in school is part of that, as well as being an alien. He's the literal personification of book smart vs street smart. Yet . . . they couldn't even clear that comically low bar.
my genuine honest theory is that they had this like 80% complete in 2010 and then shelved it until megamind got popular again, at which point they finished it and sent it out
You know, if they ever make a REAL sequel to megamind it should start with him waking up from a nightmare. Implying that the entire doom syndicate movie and rules series was nothing but a horrible nightmare that never happened.
Or it's revealed to be a pitch, which the real Megamind, Minion and Roxanne find distasteful (Maybe the only thing anyone likes about this is the nickname, since Minion and Megamind are Chums, and it's the one okay pun)
If I got in a courtroom, and a Judge sentenced me to death, I wouldn't bat an eye. But if that Judge sentenced me to watching Megamind 2 on loop for the rest of my life, I'd get on my knees, sobbing uncontrollably, and beg for mercy.
44:04 They.... They reference chocolate rain? In a show clearly mean for kids? The meme spawned from the song created SIXTEEN YEARS AGO?!? SO THAT LITERALLY EVERY CHILD ALIVE WOULD SPECIFICALLY HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN BORN YET?!? Christ that might just be the MOST out of touch reference ever made.
With all this 'generational' Talk, i hgotta ponder: Kids also watch stuff older than theselves, let alone 1 year, riiiight? I mean, no wayy kids are so stupid they dismiss all of the Past
28:35 “So I didn’t pick this up the first time I watched it” Oh god, I’m so sorry for your loss. You had to watch it twice, are you okay? Do you need a therapist?
The fact that even Gru never though twice to freeze someone, regardless of it actually working in the end, but Megamind conviniently just forgets that he has a dehydration gun
I mean, if the dehydration gun essentially kills what it dehydrates, our bodies dont function without water, I'd argue that it is perfectly reasonably that the newly reformed villain turned hero of the city would Not want to use it on some low level criminals However, this is so clearly not what the movie was going for and also he would likely have a backup raygun or whatever :/
@@neonpinkqueen1403SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST AND ONLY FILM Megamind dehydrates himself at the end of the first film because he knew he’d fall into a water fountain which would rehydrate him. Also he rehydrates a bunch of parents and teachers that were turned into water cubes as nursery kids. Also in the very same shot of Megamind 2, he has no qualms dehydrating a shark which wouldn’t be very cash money of a hero if it did kill. Shark is an innocent lil guy unfortunate enough to be in a bad movie and have bad graphics.
Im convinced that DW didn't actually re-watch the first movie before making these, the rehashed character development, character assassination, the inconsistencies, etc are those that you could expect from a fanfic that only read the summary on Wikipedia...
24:24 ""Oh! How do I stop FOUR villains at once?!" SHOOT THEM WITH THE DEHYDRATION GUN!" "The movie never says that their superpowers are preventing them from being dehydrated, and it's not like any of them have Metro Man or Titan superspeed, SO SHOOT THEM, WITH THE GUN!" "Right now they're distracted and dancing and everything, or if not right now, you can isolate each one of them at some point because they all trust you! SO SHOOT THEM WITH THE GUN!" "I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY GODDAM MIND!! THIS IS SO F****** SH*TTY!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!"
The idea of Megamind acting like it’s been a long arduous journey of change when it’s only been 2 days could’ve been a funny recurring gag if characters called him out for it
This is the type of humor that Megamind would do actually. He was shown to be obsessed with the aesthetic of villains and heroes stories, so he would for sure play this up. This could be really funny. But since this isnt a real movie we don't get nice things.
32:08 I think the Mongolia “joke” was in reference to the first movie when Roxanne asked where all the supervillain equipment came from and minion whispered “Romania”. The joke in the first movie was that 1) there’s just store where they buy all their crap, and 2) that minion is so casual and chill with Roxanne that he’ll freely tell here where they source their stuff. However is seemed that the writers of this piece of trash movie were somehow under the impression that the funny part of that joke was that a character said the name of a country
I would take back everything bad I have said about this movie if Megamind and Murder Drones does a crossover. “But, Chance, that will never happen.” I know. That’s the point.
This movie doesnt deserve to be spoken in the same MANNER as normal cinematic disasters, THIS IS A CINEMATIC CALAMITY Edit: I Didnt want to edit this, but I need to clarify, this is NOT a reference to Zelda or jojo, I haven’t seen either, its a terraria calamity reference
I feel like a funny idea the show could use to get rid of the streaming gimmick would be Megamind having an engineering stream and then getting banned for teaching people how to make weapons of mass destruction
I love the contrast between Schaff sounding so utterly defeated, hopeless and broken, an empty husk of the man he once was, drained of all his soul and mind, and then the sponsor bit is just his usual happy jolly old Surfshark ad read.
Also he didn’t even help when Tighten, a villain who was almost equal in power as he was is destroying the city. Why do they think he would help them with this group of losers lead by a elf?
@@brandonlyon730 he was hidden between the citizens watching the fight, ready to help if Megamind couldn't do it by himself, if it were a REAL MENACE he would gladly help, just this isn't the case
another generic "not helping you but doing it when you're in the verge of death" storyline again, remember that Metroman just retired because he was tired of always being a superhero so he just wanted to have a normal life
I could see Megamind not knowing how to work a toaster as he doesn't know much about the outside world with Minion having to tell what a window is and a cell phone ring. No more defenses, one was too much for this God awful movie.
I'm trans, and this comment is incredibly offensive. Saying that "Twitter" is a deadname implies Muskrat's changes to the platform carry any value or deserve respect. Twitter never changed its name, it's still Twitter. The commenter below me drinks mud daily, by the way.
my 68 year old grandpa has no standards when it comes to tv, he would basically watch anything. But a bit ago he decided to watch megamind vs the doom syndicate, and then afterwards a few of the megamind rules episodes. afterwards in the middle of the movie he said "fuck this" and turned the tv off and then he proceeded to say "that was giving me a headache" .

I shall explain the Mongolia joke for you: You see, the Lava Skylander suggests they should live in Mongolia, because they are villains. Now, back in the Middle Ages, Mongolia was home to one of the most feared warlords Genghis Khan, he even killed his own brother because he stole his pet fish. Now Genghis Khan was evil, and the Doom Syndicate, are evil. Meaning that it would make sense that they would move to Mongolia because it was home to an evil warlord and because the Doom Syndicate are evil. There, now you can go drink water now.
Devil’s Advocate: There’s an argument to be made that the dehydration gun wouldn’t work, at least not against the lava monster and the knight… lava and shadows can’t really be dehydrated. If the weather lady sees it coming, she could also hypothetically hover a raincloud above herself. The only one who doesn’t really have a reasonable defence is the mime.
The concept of a reformed villains old crew showing up to wreck shit is such a good concept. Unique powers, bonds of friendship being broken, hell, they could've pulled the "my hot ex-girlfriend" if they wanted to be cheeky. Instead we have this
I'm not really mad that this "sequel" exists, just disappointed that it robbed the chance to get a true sequel, and the fact that nearly everyone was treating it like an actual theatrical sequel even though it isn't
With the writing team of Megamind and Will Ferrell voicing, I have confidence they could have made a genuinely funny joke with that line. But with this movie, it just feels like a ham-fisted, "See, guys? We meme, too!"
@@Nova-nr3gi Good new content requires a vision for the original IP beyond just profit. Such a thing is too much of a reach for this million/billion dollar company. Edit: That last sentence was sarcasm btw
I am gonna make a bold but controversial statement by saying that Godzilla 1998 was more faithful to its source material than Megamind 2 was to the first movie
During the aquarium scene, Minion should have fumbled with the Dehydration Gun and broken it. In the shock, the Go Fish Gang escapes. Then, make up some incredibly rare material or whatever that the gun uses, so Megamind can't rebuild it right away. That would explain why he can't just dehydrate the Doom Syndicate, it gives a proper reason for him to get mad at Minion and break up, and it gives an actual reason why the Go Fish Gang was able to escape. I'm aware solving just three plot holes in this is like applying a bandaid to the Titanic, but it's something.
I would also maybe make the lava guy I don't care enough about to remember the name of be immune to the gun (because like... lava hot dehydrated already)
@@kikokusy9974 Behemoth, that’s literally the lava guy’s name. Also, I think Lord Nighty Knight too should be immune due to him being an… shadow entity?? Either way, I think only the human looking (lady and mime) shouldn’t be immune to the dehydration gun
@@soffisoffy2709 the weather lady could also be immune to the dehydration gun because she can create clouds AKA she has to have an infinite supply of hydration. As for the mime? Well if the directors had an ounce of funniness in them, they could make Megamind say something like "I uhhh forgot to make the dehydration gun work on french people."
After Hal got out of prison he realized he couldn't take revenge on Megamind normally due to his lack of superpowers. So instead he used his experience as a cameraman to create a terrible movie and spinoff series to ruin Megamind's reputation. It all makes sense...
Petition to have this be the canonical explanation
I refuse to believe this is anything but cannon
So he joined Buzzfeed and make a very elaborate clickbait so destructive it kills Megamind from cringe? Makes sense
That would explain the retcons as Hal probably wouldn't know Megamind and Metroman's backstories so he just assumed or made up shit on the spot.
It's funny how this explains pretty much everything (i.e. all the characters being entirely different)
The *FUCK* do you *MEAN* he *TAUGHT MEGAMIND?* Megamind was ejected from his planet, landed in prison, learned evil from living in prison, learned hatred from going to school, and become a super villain with his fish, Minion.

“I wish megamind could’ve gotten a continuation instead of despicable me.” A young schaffrillas said a few years back. And somewhere, within the bowels of the universe, a gnarled finger on a monkey’s paw curled.
this is an insane comment. i love it.
...dear god you're right
The sad thing is Despicable Me was derived from a pretty good concept/basis, it just unfortunately fell victim to toilet humour and overmarketing of minions etc 😭 milked tf out of it. I hate it when greed ruins a good idea. Megamind certainly felt deserving of a quality franchise
Not as gnarled as this "movie" is

Megamind 1: Opposes two characters on near God level
Megamind 2: Cowers in terror around a handful of clowns.
Megamind was a god level threat in the 1st movie, literally creating titan so he has someone to fight. They should instead have made a spinoff that focuses on a less central/powerful character. They could even have made a show about his home planet before it got destroyed. But no, it ended up being a show that only kids who cant write yet would watch.
@@MrCool-lo3lsI feel like if they wanted to make something easy, rather than make his opponents villains, make them heroes from other cities who he now needs to prove to that he’s actually gone straight and this isn’t just another extremely-elaborate plot to conquer the world. That way it could’ve expanded the world while not completely ruining what happened in the first movie. If the writers were good, they could expand on the “proving yourself to others or accepting yourself regardless of others” angle.
More heroes would also be cool, and it could lead to new cities as new settings for a show, maybe have an episode where he has to help a different city.
I’m not a writer though so this could totally be just as shitty.
@@CamTheWarlockYou have potential, this idea sounds better than what the imbeciles behind the atrocity that is Megamind 2 have came up with.
This thing isn't Megamind 2.
People may said that Megamind not even close to Metroman. True.
But people should realize even with simple preparation, Megamind could destroy the entire city easily if he want to, he also can create something that much powerfull than him and his old creation itself.
TELL ME, HOW THE FCK THE CLOWN GROUP THAT CAN'T EVEN DESTROY BUILDING OR CREATE HUGE TERROR FOR CITY, MAKE MEGAMIND SCARED!!!!!
Fun fact: the Doom Syndicate were actually characters scrapped from the first film, but the versions for the first movie were way cooler. There was one disco villain named Psychodelic who appears in one of the Megamind video games and is voiced by KEITH DAVID. We were absolutely robbed here.
WHAT
Keith David?
DISCO INFERNO!!!
What a travesty, I'd love to have a dance off with Spawn.
I REMEMBER PLAYING THAT EXACT GAME!!! I didn't know who Keith David was back then so I didn't know he voiced Psychodelic !
They could have had Keith David, but instead settled for discount Will Arnett who sometimes sounds like Patrick Warburton. Knighty Night's voice is comically inconsistent during the movie.

Fun Fact: The Doom Syndicate were actually going to be in the original film but were cut, the lava guy being the only one that's directly the same as the concept art. This does mean though, that the one thing this series really took from the original, was the thing the original movie thought was bad and shouldn't be done.
The dilemma of cut content that people tend to forget. If you find a cool piece of concept art that isn't in the final product but you feel it should've been, there are three simple reasons why it isn't:
1. It didn't fit the story.
2. It distracted from the story.
3. It sucked.
@@polkadiif defiantly would have been all three. Him being a loner and outcast and having minion his only friend was one of the things that made the movie great and sympathetic. If he had friends it wouldn’t have that. Plus you have to develop them and their relationships and all that. Sorry I’m blabbing lol
The Doom Syndicate also appeared in an old Megamind game for the X box.

Here’s a thought regarding Megamind’s dehydration gun. Say the lava guy is immune to it. He’s made of rock and lava, so he’s got no hydration to speak of. Maybe have Megamind try and use the dehydration gun on the villains, but they use the lava guy as a shield.
Or maybe also have a villain with some water power, like a water gun or some way to manipulate water, so if Megamind were to use the dehydration gun on the villains, this water villain could regenerate them.
It wouldn’t save the movie / series, but it would’ve saved our vocal chords from the pain of screaming at the screen
He doesn't even have to dehydrate them. The gun has multiple settings, like death ray and destroy. Guy has multiple options at his disposal and be picks none of them
@@averagefez It has a DEATH RAY option?! Where was _that_ when Titan was a problem?
@@LordCrate-du8zm the power of the sun didnt work on metro man so he couldn't exactly use a handheld death ray on titan
@@rafaelhines1178not just the power of the sun, it was the power of the sun after the sun had finished warming up!
if there was a water villain in the team, maybe they use him as a shield, because a water man getting dehydrated would probably just outright kill him, and with the shared past and general behaviour megamind probably wouldn’t want to do that. literally just “you can’t pull the trigger, you can’t even try”
Megamind not getting the Puss in Boots the Last Wish treatment is a crime against humanity
I sincerely believe Megamind deserved the God Level Sequel treatment more than Puss In Boots did
We're deeply depressed.
He got the opposite but worse:(
Well, puss in boots also got a dogshit tv show before the last wish, so maybe there's a small chance that we get a proper megamind sequel in the future after all
You see Megamind was already at max movie quality, so when it got the Dreamwork sequel buff it couldn't go any higher and instead went to the lowest Quality value.

Here’s how I would make the doom syndicate an actual threat:
- lady Doppler: has full control over the surrounding air, being able to summon dust, sand, and fire storms out of practically no where, she can also manipulate electricity into a defensive or offensive weapon, she can also use the air to levitate and even fly
- behemoth: besides his obvious immense physical strength (which far surpasses that of his comrades) he can use his extreme body temperature to burn or melt almost any material, he can also harden any part of his body to become nearly invulnerable to attacks , can breath fire and spit streams of lava, and finally, any material behemoth melts, he can absorb it to grow in size, the more matter he absorbs, the more his size, strength, durability, and abilities multiply
- nighty knight: can turn into a dark mist, becoming invulnerable to physical attacks. He also has superhuman strength, speed, durability, and reflexes in his humanoid form, and from the shadows he can materialize any know bladed weapon, and mastered in the wielding of each one
- Pierre Pressure: his mind control range and effectiveness multiplies, as in he could now mind control an entire crowd of people with just a flick of his finger, and can shape shift as well
as a bonus, they're now also much more cunning and ruthless. Also, they don’t get into pointless arguments nor bombard the audience with bad jokes
Mime's name is Pierre Pressure and weather lady's name is Lady Doppler
@@ehuslugi thanks for the clarification
This would definitely be a better description of their abilities and a better showcase too.

This is a pretty good idea. I like
Perfect! And now we should change their names
Another error I have noticed in the show is how whenever someone uses the disguise watch, their eyes are the same as the character they're disguised as. Meaning they couldn't be bothered to change it and just took the models of the characters.
Yeah, if I remember correctly, in the original movie their eye color stayed the same.
@@alu2901yep it's kinda their gimmick
I'd like to imagine that inbetween movies, Megamind upgraded the watch so that it also disguises the user's eyes and voice, but I doubt that would be a focus of his if that gap really is just a few days

My favorite part of sharktale 2 is when Oscar stands up to death itself and says "I'm the sharktale"
Shark Tale 2: The Fast Fish
I think The Last Wish already proved that. We live in a universe where Puss In Boots: The Last Wish- a sequel to a spinoff to a sequel- was a massive success while Megamind 2 looks like the show.

istg I thought this was a spam comment until I read the snark in "The Sequel".
Wrong! There is "The Button of Doom"!
The lack of the dehydration gun as The Obvious Solution is compounded by the fact that Megamind is downright triggerhappy with the thing in the original film, to the point where it is his *go to panic option*
And it would have been such an easy fix; just have Gale re-hydrate the villains hit by the ray or cancel out the ray itself with her mutable condensation weather every time
Even done it to Carlos. Poor Carlos.😢
@@charmandyorton006 Or even, like, have that near miss with the shark in the opening be an even nearer miss where it manages to eat the gun a bit before getting dehydrated. Boom, an excuse has just been made to never use it again in the movie period.
Hell, if you wanted to go further, say that the dehydration gun was one of a kind and impossible to replicate, and you've made an excuse for the show too.
Maybe they could have the villains destroy the gun and make them have *some* semblance of danger
With that said, can an argument be made that he should have used it on Titan when things got serious? I'm not defending this movie, I'm just wondering of the dehydration gun is a plot hole in the first one.
You think Hollywood will ever realize that "Influencer" is often used in a negative way?
For your information Schaffrillas, the reason this show and movie happend was because 2 days after I became defender of Metrocity, Minion offered me a pint of lager and I drank it. However it turns out that someone had put dangerous drugs into my drink and the next thig you know, I went on an acid trip and everything that happened on this acid trip was in both Megamind Vs The Doom Syndicate and Megamind Rules when I woke up Minion and Roxanne got me to hospital and it took me like 72 hours to recover. So stop saying this movie and show is canon. Just before I woke up the network executives who own Peacock said that they were trying to make the show and movie bad on purpose to piss off everyone who loved the original.
In conclusion, you know why this movie and show exist because the main character has explained it.
#GetMegamind2RemovedFromPeacock

He's broken. He got through all of Illumination's works, Shrek 3, and every Disney sequel. But Megamind 2 sounds like its given him more pain than any of these.

Yeah cause this is exactly why many were glad the movie never got a sequel. It was a self contained story about a guy’s personal growth as a person and that never needed a sequel. This movie is the embodiment of what a once dreaded megamind 2 movie would be. Cheap, shallow and clearly has no story to tell or a reason to exist.

@@CHECKthisvid keep in mind dude all of these videos are scripted for our entertainment
James probably had those exact thoughts watching it and decided to write them in
*Here's how in my eyes they could have 'fixed' Megamind 2.*
*First off, make it so this isn't 2 days after the events with Tighten, have it be at minimum a couple of months.*
*Instead of having Minion changing his name because of a legal demand that is a meta joke at the minions, have it instead be the owner complaining to change his name because it is 'allegedly' confusing people, but Minion himself decides he wants a more fitting name, and then resolved by the end with him deciding 'Ol Chum' or whatever by then climax or near ending.*
*Have annoying kid, rather than be some streamer trying to film Megamind, be a kid who preferred Megamind as a villain and thought he was cooler. And wants him to go back to being a villain and tries to 'corrupt him' but grows too appreciate him better as a Hero. Could have her become Megamind's sidekick or new student(Since Minion is now his partner instead of Sidekick) or such.*
*Instead of just being an idiotic asshole, have Megamind run into a similar problem of the first film; He had no one too fight. Villains need hero's and Hero's need villains, but just because he swapped roles doesn't change he lacks a villain to fight.*
*He can still help but he finds the job boring without someone actually a threat to fight against. Could potentially end the film with him resolving to use his position as hero too help people rather than just too fight crime, use it to make Metrocity better than it was before.*
*Instead of being 'founded' by Megamind being a core member, have the Doom Syndicate be a group of villains that were inspired by Megamind and came too Metro City too convert him back into Villainy, which would make them a foil with annoying kid's new role, as they are a far more vile example of genuine villainy rather than just 'He was cooler as a villain', could give them sympathetic backstories like Megamind, give potential for redemption or just leave them in jail by end of movie as the new villains he will get to fight.*
*The idea that Megamind was considered by other villains or people to be an inspiration would show even as a villain he was popular or liked in a way.*
*Have Metro-City a bit more conflicted on Megamind compared to Metro Man, he did 'kill the guy' so it would make sense they are a bit hesitant to trust him, even if he stopped Tighten, could end with him fully being loved by the city or accepting that you can't please everybody.*
*Could do a subplot with Roxanne as without anything interesting as a reporter without a big villain to fight against the hero, news would likely decline for Metrocity, not sure how that could be resolved, but plenty of ways it could if the Doom Syndicate are now the recurring villains.*
*Have Megamind be hesitant to fight the Syndicate, not because he can't, but because he is sympathetic too their life and tries to potentially redeem them, could end either with him ultimately realising it doesn't excuse what they do(Being likely more murderous versions of him without remorse for killing, in comparison to Megamind as far as we know not intentionally ever killing anyone).*
*The closest he ever got was Metro Man and even then it doesn't count as he didn't expect him to die, nor was he actually dead). End either wanting to redeem them still or accepting them as his new enemies, giving him more excitement in life.*
*If Machiavillain actually exists, instead of a mentor to Megamind, have him be another of his race who survived the destruction of their planet(Either body destroyed or having been traveling space) which could play into a third film or whatever if it is done.*
*Alternatively, bring back Hal potentially regaining his powers and wanting revenge...*
And finally; He beats them using the f*cking dehydration gun :)
I'll fully admit, this isn't a perfect idea for how the film could have gone, as I am not a movie writer, but I feel it would have at least worked better than what we actually got.
Holy shit, dude, that would have been an amazing movie! Do you happen to have access to a time machine by any chance?
Ah yes the classic “random dude online wrote a better fucking movie than the multi million dollar company” you live to see how simple it is to be an effective sequel, thanks bro you’ve done it justice
Bro, the potentials from this comment alone are insane. But alas, somehow some random internet user came up with a far better solution than a multi-million dollar company.
Can I join you guys @@0BucketMask0
As an addendum, what could be interesting is watching Megamind struggle to break his old habits and come into his own as a hero. So he ends up swinging between 'just normal old evil Megamind but who beats up villains instead of heroes' and 'overcompensating by aping Metroman too much'.
That would be a really interesting struggle, and as a bonus it plays into your point about the citizens of Metrocity not fully trusting Megamind yet. And it would also open the door to a whole host of gags. Here are a few that I just thought up:
→ Megamind goes shopping but forgets to pay because he's so used to stealing
→ Megamind tries to copy Metroman's mannerisms to a cringe-inducing extent
→ Metroman offers to come back anonymously as a villain so he can have a nemesis to occupy him
→ Megamind sees a cat stuck in a tree and tries to save it by blowing up the tree
Fun fact: There was a Megamind video game called Megamind: Ultimate Showdown which featured the doom syndicate. So technically. Megamind vs The Doom syndicate is a video game adaptation AND a movie sequel.
Pity they cut Psycho-Delic from the team. I think he's kinda fun. According to the wiki he was almost in the movie. My guess is that they couldn't get Keith David to reprise the roll.
They had an odd amount of faith in these garbage characters.

I wonder what he might think of this excuse for a movie.

Megamind not being able to figure out how to use a toaster is particularly outrageous to me since one of the very first things established in the first movie is that he's been able to take common objects and appliances and use them to create more complex stuff, HE USED HIS BINKY AS A LASER WHEN HE WAS JUST A BABY IN PRISION he not only would know how to use a toaster, he could make a weapon out of it with a screwdriver and a hammer or something, it's like the writers did the worst possible job they could do as a plea for help, as if they had them hostages (which depending on how they're paid I guess it could be right)
RIGHT?? if he'd have ANY issues with using a toaster it'd be unconsciously turning it into a gun that shoots flaming bread or something
@@minerturtle45that’s such a fun concept not being able to use common stuff because only able to make weapons with it
@@minerturtle45 Holy shit that sounds awesome
Hol up your onto something (as in saying the writers where kidnapped)
Oh yeah. Most of megamind's issues in the movie are largely social. Obviously being in prison for a bunch of years and being socially isolated in school is part of that, as well as being an alien. He's the literal personification of book smart vs street smart.
Yet . . . they couldn't even clear that comically low bar.
Fun fact, the doom syndicate is actually reused from the video game that was on the ps2. Which means there's actually nothing original here at all 💀
The fact that Megamind the video game has the same voice actor who Voiced megamind (Keith Ferguson) question what went wrong
Being forced to watch this movie should legitimately be considered a form of psychological torture 💀

my genuine honest theory is that they had this like 80% complete in 2010 and then shelved it until megamind got popular again, at which point they finished it and sent it out
Solid theory.

that is impressively low
You know, if they ever make a REAL sequel to megamind it should start with him waking up from a nightmare. Implying that the entire doom syndicate movie and rules series was nothing but a horrible nightmare that never happened.

I really like this idea
that actually sounds like something they'd do
This is SO genius.. maybe Dreamworks will hire you one day. Absolute perfection.

Or someone could have told him. At least, that's what I choose to believe because I hope for his sake he didn't actually have to watch it twice.
@@starbeam7679 it takes a lot of wishful thinking but sure
The fact that even Gru never though twice to freeze someone, regardless of it actually working in the end, but Megamind conviniently just forgets that he has a dehydration gun
I mean, if the dehydration gun essentially kills what it dehydrates, our bodies dont function without water, I'd argue that it is perfectly reasonably that the newly reformed villain turned hero of the city would Not want to use it on some low level criminals
However, this is so clearly not what the movie was going for and also he would likely have a backup raygun or whatever :/
@neonpinkqueen1403 also the dehydration gun doesn't kill people, it just turns them into a cube and will turn back when touching water
@@neonpinkqueen1403SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST AND ONLY FILM
Megamind dehydrates himself at the end of the first film because he knew he’d fall into a water fountain which would rehydrate him.
Also he rehydrates a bunch of parents and teachers that were turned into water cubes as nursery kids.
Also in the very same shot of Megamind 2, he has no qualms dehydrating a shark which wouldn’t be very cash money of a hero if it did kill. Shark is an innocent lil guy unfortunate enough to be in a bad movie and have bad graphics.

@@JamesTheFoxeArt Yeah, I commented before I finished the video where he shows that. It just really makes the scene worse, there is no justifying it
Im convinced that DW didn't actually re-watch the first movie before making these, the rehashed character development, character assassination, the inconsistencies, etc are those that you could expect from a fanfic that only read the summary on Wikipedia...
24:24
""Oh! How do I stop FOUR villains at once?!" SHOOT THEM WITH THE DEHYDRATION GUN!"
"The movie never says that their superpowers are preventing them from being dehydrated, and it's not like any of them have Metro Man or Titan superspeed, SO SHOOT THEM, WITH THE GUN!"
"Right now they're distracted and dancing and everything, or if not right now, you can isolate each one of them at some point because they all trust you! SO SHOOT THEM WITH THE GUN!"
"I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY GODDAM MIND!! THIS IS SO F****** SH*TTY!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!"
The idea of Megamind acting like it’s been a long arduous journey of change when it’s only been 2 days could’ve been a funny recurring gag if characters called him out for it
This is the type of humor that Megamind would do actually. He was shown to be obsessed with the aesthetic of villains and heroes stories, so he would for sure play this up.
This could be really funny. But since this isnt a real movie we don't get nice things.
32:08 I think the Mongolia “joke” was in reference to the first movie when Roxanne asked where all the supervillain equipment came from and minion whispered “Romania”. The joke in the first movie was that 1) there’s just store where they buy all their crap, and 2) that minion is so casual and chill with Roxanne that he’ll freely tell here where they source their stuff. However is seemed that the writers of this piece of trash movie were somehow under the impression that the funny part of that joke was that a character said the name of a country
Bold of you to assume that the writers have seen Megamind
Remembering this joke actually made me laugh more than any "joke" told in Doom Syndicate...
@@thebaileynewton ya know what that’s a good point

I would take back everything bad I have said about this movie if Megamind and Murder Drones does a crossover. “But, Chance, that will never happen.” I know. That’s the point.

WTF does Megamind mean "find" Metroman? HE'S BEEN TO HIS HIDEOUT AND TALKED TO HIM!!!!!
Also he didn’t even help when Tighten, a villain who was almost equal in power as he was is destroying the city. Why do they think he would help them with this group of losers lead by a elf?
Fr we know where he is😭😭😭
Also isn’t he retired???
@@brandonlyon730 he was hidden between the citizens watching the fight, ready to help if Megamind couldn't do it by himself, if it were a REAL MENACE he would gladly help, just this isn't the case
another generic "not helping you but doing it when you're in the verge of death" storyline again, remember that Metroman just retired because he was tired of always being a superhero so he just wanted to have a normal life
megamind 2 feels like a fanfic made by a 10 year old with the brain consistency of cookie dough
I could see Megamind not knowing how to work a toaster as he doesn't know much about the outside world with Minion having to tell what a window is and a cell phone ring. No more defenses, one was too much for this God awful movie.

Wow. I love how we can go from flip phones to iphones with screens the size of your hand in just two days. Amazing.
I shall explain the Mongolia joke for you:
You see, the Lava Skylander suggests they should live in Mongolia, because they are villains. Now, back in the Middle Ages, Mongolia was home to one of the most feared warlords Genghis Khan, he even killed his own brother because he stole his pet fish. Now Genghis Khan was evil, and the Doom Syndicate, are evil. Meaning that it would make sense that they would move to Mongolia because it was home to an evil warlord and because the Doom Syndicate are evil.
There, now you can go drink water now.
It makes no sense when you remember that the guy developed his home nation to be one of the advanced nation albeit with blood and warfare.

Devil’s Advocate: There’s an argument to be made that the dehydration gun wouldn’t work, at least not against the lava monster and the knight… lava and shadows can’t really be dehydrated. If the weather lady sees it coming, she could also hypothetically hover a raincloud above herself. The only one who doesn’t really have a reasonable defence is the mime.

The concept of a reformed villains old crew showing up to wreck shit is such a good concept. Unique powers, bonds of friendship being broken, hell, they could've pulled the "my hot ex-girlfriend" if they wanted to be cheeky. Instead we have this
I'm not really mad that this "sequel" exists, just disappointed that it robbed the chance to get a true sequel, and the fact that nearly everyone was treating it like an actual theatrical sequel even though it isn't
"It's just a prank bro!"
I'm genuinely so angry. What the hell. What were they thinking.
When I heard that line I was like “Really?”
Thinking? Bold assumption you got there
I am going to play devil's advocate and say that this is absolutely a line that could've happened in the OG and would not have felt out of place
With the writing team of Megamind and Will Ferrell voicing, I have confidence they could have made a genuinely funny joke with that line. But with this movie, it just feels like a ham-fisted, "See, guys? We meme, too!"

hell, even Mechagodzilla City and Void Ghidorah were more faithful to their source material than Megamind 2 was to Megamind
At least Godzilla 1998 was a fun bad movie, this is just atrocious
During the aquarium scene, Minion should have fumbled with the Dehydration Gun and broken it. In the shock, the Go Fish Gang escapes. Then, make up some incredibly rare material or whatever that the gun uses, so Megamind can't rebuild it right away. That would explain why he can't just dehydrate the Doom Syndicate, it gives a proper reason for him to get mad at Minion and break up, and it gives an actual reason why the Go Fish Gang was able to escape.
I'm aware solving just three plot holes in this is like applying a bandaid to the Titanic, but it's something.
You put way more effort and thought than the writers tbh
I would also maybe make the lava guy I don't care enough about to remember the name of be immune to the gun (because like... lava hot dehydrated already)
@@kikokusy9974 Behemoth, that’s literally the lava guy’s name. Also, I think Lord Nighty Knight too should be immune due to him being an… shadow entity?? Either way, I think only the human looking (lady and mime) shouldn’t be immune to the dehydration gun
That’s a wild analogy
@@soffisoffy2709 the weather lady could also be immune to the dehydration gun because she can create clouds AKA she has to have an infinite supply of hydration.
