    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...

    Tighten/Hal did NOT get corrupted by his powers. He was ALREADY a giant asshole. His powers just gave him the outlet to act on those desires of his.

He decided to start committing crimes because that's what he would be doing anyway if Roxanne was never in the picture as he never saw the true value in hero work. He decided to kill Megamind specifically because he lied to him and only kidnapped Roxanne to draw him out.

    I will say, Titan wasn't corrupted by his power. He was already a bad guy, just powerless to get anything he wanted without repercussions. His pre-Titan shirts allude to this. "Bite Me." "404 Not Found." "Game Over." They're all negative phrases. This might not seem like much, but this is a superhero movie. You wear your emblem on your chest and he does throughout the movie.

    I like that Metro Man's actions were complicated since he faked his death to get out of being a hero, but it's understandable since he's always had high expectations placed on him his entire life. Like for one, being from a rich family, being a star student, and having super powers. Plus he did understand that Mega Mind wasn't really a bad person.
    I like that Hal other than being a creep, had some red flags both big and small to show that he is far from a good person or fit to have powers. Like being a coward offering for Megamind to rob the old lady that lives across from him when they broke into his apartment, or him being sadistic when he ripped a training dummy's limbs off, then lasered it in the face while being excited through all of it.
    I prefer this movie over Despicable Me anyday

    Difference in megamind and gru. Was that Gru did over the course of the movie did bond with the adoptive daughters and decided that being their dad was much more important than being a villain. Where we do see that Gru wanted to be an astronaut to make his mom proud, which she was at the end of the film. It was decent but Megamind did it better. We see that he was not only raised in a broken system he was raised in jail. He was always a good person, and when he went to school all he wanted to do was copy what Metroman was doing to make the rest of the school happy. So he can find acceptance outside of his companion. It wasn't until the school system failed him that he realized that that's what it would be for him, to always be the villain as no one will accept anything else in society. It wasn't until he got that feeling of acceptance that he decided to become a better person. (this is turning to an essay so i'll stop it here, but point is Megamind went through more of a emotional journey.)

      This reminded me of how Ren and Stimpy was actually a crazy cool cartoon BECAUSE the creator was restricted by the network! Ironically, forcing John to just get very very close to the censorship line without going too far is what kept the series watchable and iconic! Once John was given the opportunity to remake Ren and Stimpy fully uncensored, with absolutely zero restrictions due to Comedy Central airing it, the end result was actually horrible and cursed and just way WAY too much even for stuff like South Park! (Also didn’t help that the creator’s creepy and troublesome behavior, and other things he did was public knowledge by this point)

    Hal constantly remind to himself that he’s the one! That one truly amazing human being, that for some reason gets less then he deserves. He’s so in his fantasy that when Roxane gets kidnapped, he didn’t even notices it. He never tried to put an effort, he’s only pretends that there is one, and when he tells Megamind that they way that Megamind fooled him in believing that being hero instantly get him all he desire, he instantly getting told, that all Hal had to do is to be an actual hero, but Hal was enraged by the fact that the fact that he had no success in getting what he wanted was actually always his fault.

    As a Superman fan, Metro Man is one of my favorite Superman inspired( or parody, whichever you prefer) Character. But if this means anything, Megamind is the closest thing to a Superman in this movie. He may not fly or has heat vision, but he's pretty close in my opinion anyway.

    both metroman and tighten are character arcs of having incredible, yet completely unearned power. and all 3 are character arcs of being selfish.
    metroman was simply born amazing, faced burnout from the responsibility of it, and gave up his calling/power to pursue his happiness.
    while tighten was given power for free, and exploited it selfishly.
    meanwhile megamind is someone who had to work his ass off every step of the way, and became bitter when he wasnt afforded the accolades of others despite his hard work. but learned that just hard work isnt enough, you need to point that hard work towards some level of responsibility and earn the accolades.

    1. Megamind is a masterpiece. Nuff said
    2. What I love about Metroman in this movie is that its left up to the audience to decide whether he was in the wrong or not.
    On one hand, yeah, faking his death and leaving Metro City to fend for itself was horrible.
    But on the other hand, he had a point. He never got to pick what *he* wanted to be and nobody had the right to ask him to be a superhero and dedicate his entire existence to people he doesn't even know.
    Also you could make the argument that, after fighting him for *years* Metroman figured Megamind wasn't actually an evil guy , just someone who wanted to be loved and who had the capacity to be good if given the right push.
    I also love that he is *horrible* at being a musician. Yeah, its played for laughs, but ,think about it, its something he's *not* good at, unlike literally everything else in his life. Its something he can actually learn, struggle with and find fullfillment in through actually *earning* his skill.
    3. Hal was hillarious. Seeing this absolute # niceguy-esque dumbarse have all the power of an alien demigod is *brilliant* . Unironically a villain that was ahead of his time.
    4. I love the way Megamind and Roxanne's relationship develops. She doesn't forgive him or reconcile with him after learning who he is. It takes a while for the wounds to heal and for her to accept that he really *did* become a better person for and because of *her* .
    5. Us and Megamind not knowing what his parents said is a pretty good summation of the movie's theme. You're free to think it was all destiny and that megamind was meant for greatness or that Megamind's own free will determined his greatness. Both are *completely* valid. And I like that we never get a clear answer.

    • @ChristopherJames1993
      @ChristopherJames1993 Před měsícem

      Theres also the question of what "greatness" would mean to his parents? Were they villains or not? Was he destined to be the villain but made himself the hero through his deeds, or was the always supposed to be the hero but fell into villainy through society. That is the question.

  • @RedBlitzen
    @RedBlitzen Před 2 měsíci +1

    That whole presentation scene is, I don't have appropriate words. It's the closest thing I've ever seen to the perfect dramatic entrance. Think about it. Set the humor aside for a moment, give into the drama a little and look at it.
    First, let's talk about the preceding scenes. The threat is unstoppable. The only power capable of matching it has benched itself, but it points toward another hope.
    Who refuses it. And walks away.
    We then enter the darkest hour.
    The threat has taken the best and most hopeful character in the entire story, and now, even they begin to feel despair. And abandonment.
    But just before, we got one last promise of hope. So for the whole scene, on top of the despair, on top of the hopelessness, we feel a constantly building sense of frustration! And anticipation.
    We were right to.
    Thunder booms, and the unstoppable threat turns to find that, without him even noticing (!), the SKY has been BLOTTED OUT!
    And this unstoppable, invincible, fallen angel of wrath, floats before a dark storm of lightning and thunder that seemingly fills the whole world.
    And looks small.
    Then a voice, filling the air from every direction at once like an enraged GOD!
    "YOU DARE TO CHALLENGE MEGAMIND!"
    "this town isn't big enough for two supervillains."
    And as the visage of the Megamind emerges from the storm, to personally belittle and rain humiliation upon this upstart ant who has managed to offend him, we cut to her.
    I want to really emphasize this moment.
    This whole movie, people have looked upon this man with scorn. The only thing he has needed to do to sour the mood, to spread fear and panic, to bring children to tears, is appear.
    And now, he has appeared again. Grander and greater then ever before. And we turn to look upon the person he might have hurt worst of all. And what do we see?
    We see hope.
    We see hope!
    THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is presentation.
    I could say more, but I'm gonna cut it here. I hope I got my point across.

They travel with metro to the twin planets only for the reveal to be metro's entire race are just literal narcissist's who feel entitled to anything because there strong, wrapping back around for the nature vs nurture argument. While mega mind learns the backstory and maybe learns metro's parent's enslaved his race for there intelligence, making mega question metro man and whether he is just using him. Conflicts happen and titan dude gets a redemption arc, and maybe death, and metro man, stops his parent's, acting like a true genuine hero for the first ever time and putting his life on the line for the greater good. and freeing mega minds people. And bam, done

  • @alexcat6685

    9:52 well yeah but I also love that you can actually hear what they say it kinda means the same thing, they say pretty well if you listen: "you're destined for greatness" the reason that still works is because we still don't know what that means, greatness for destruction? peace? creating muffins? what greatness? that line still serves that "greatness" is defined by what you choose to do not what some else decides for you.
    It headcanon, I'd think that megaminds people are kind like us just happen to be more intellgient and just like us, in fan storyline I'd write his father and Mother to experince that varition of life, his father having same issue megamind had intelly having a destiny he was trying to achieve based on what his parent's told him then losing it, compared to his wife who never understood her destiny until realised the message.
    which would then lead to wanting to teach that to their child however due the event they could only say on line to show this to their little megamind, "you're are destined-for greatness".
