Great reaction, fun fact: the device that allows megamind to change appareance as a flaw. It can't change the eye colors, that's how you can tell who is who. Megamind keeps his Green eyes, Minion Brown eyes whent they turn into the prison director and Metroman who have a blue eyes.
Oh I love that detail! I didn't realize
Seen this movie a zillion times and never noticed that
...it's not quite perfectly reliable - when Minion pretended to be Megamind in that final battle, he had Megamind's green eyes (and they dulled Megamind's green eyes while he was pretending to be Metroman, to reduce how obvious it was)
@@shadowcatreacts the wining the lottery you have to put it in a trust or bonds or cds or treat it like you inherited it let it send you the interest or allowance like form a rich parent or like being payed for a 2nd job. The hard part of wining a lottery is thinking it though of how it can make your life better but not to much to fast that you get spoiled.
@@shadowcatreacts the pronunciation of words a Will Farrell think that he does in different movies you should react to the Lego Movie with him it is awesome
"i know everything about you"
two seconds later "i didn't know what you liked" (flowers)
Oh, I didn't even catch that! Clever writing
"Oh, you're a villain, alright! Just not a SUPER one!"
"Oh, yeah? What's the difference?"
"PRESENTATION!"
Fun Fact: A whole crew of animators was dedicated solely to the movement of capes.
Location Location Fact: The Metro City Observatory was modelled after the Griffith Observatory outside Hollywood.
Action Voice Actor Fact: Instead of voicing his character from within a sound booth, Brad Pitt, who is a very active actor, insisted on using a handheld microphone for his performance and roaming around the studio.
Don't Blink Fact: In the early portion of the movie, when Megamind (Will Ferrell) has Metro Man (Brad Pitt) trapped in the real abandoned observatory, look closely at the scene where the images of Megamind and Metro Man are being projected upon the buildings. Just after Megamind orders Minion to fire the death beam, there is a single frame where Metro Man fades slightly from the observatory screen and reappears faintly behind Megamind on the opposite screen. This foreshadowed Metro Man faking his death through superspeed.
Thanks for these! That last fact in particular blows my mind 🤯 I'm gonna have to watch it back!
You're welcome! 😉
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
That quote is near the top of my all time favorite mivie lines. Not just for what he said, but HOW he said it. Or to be more accurate, his presentation.
Samuel Vincent ...Indeed. Will Ferrell gave 110% to this movie.
This movie is in my top ten of "You Can Change" themed movie.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
I think it's awesome that Metroman ends up being a kinda big brother to Megamind.
Telling him that he's more than what he thinks he is, that he has everytthing inside of him to be a good man and an inspiration to others.
Great reaction 😀
Thanks Stu!! I was so pleasantly surprised by Metroman; that scene between him and Megamind is the heart of the movie imo!
@@shadowcatreacts Is there any sign Metroman could tell Megamind doesn’t really have evil intentions? Metro doesn’t seem to come off as a bad guy, exactly, but to shirk his responsibility must have been a huge moral dilemma.
I love the irony that the non hero giving up the hero label enables the non villain to fight the true villain of societal prejudice. Roxanne turned out to be the true hero after all.
@@JaggerG Well the best guess I have him Metroman being aware that Megamind does not have evil intentions revolves around two main pieces of evidence.
The first being that throughout all their fights and battles, Megamind was never really out to hurt anyone and Metroman is aware of this. If he was out for bad intentions then the highlight of the first scene with the Warden would be the Warden reminding Megamind of any people he has killed or accidentally killed. Also just the fact that Metroman basically has a scene to reexamine their lives and chooses to fake his death, if Megamind was truly evil then Metroman would probably not want to leave the city of people to the hands of a murderer.
The second reason he probably does not believe Megamind to have any evil intentions is simply that he chose to go with Roxanne to find Metroman. If Megamind did not care about any of the city, he could have easily just left because Hal literally makes it look like he killed him by squashing him with some structure. Instead Megamind chooses to find Metroman with Roxanne's help in order to stop Hal.
@@numbernumber25 Good call. In retrospect, Metro Man’s acceptance speech hits differently. He probably literally thought a lot about if his life hadn’t been surrounded by Metro City. Very brave to step aside in good faith.
He probably also made some killer lyrical bars, but just has a long journey ahead on developing his singing voice and learning instruments.
@@JaggerG Yup. Also, I am more surprised that they did not give him a short or any extra bits of him singing. I only say this because there is an official Megamind short produced that is a few minutes long and is supposed to take place following the events of the movie, Megamind is basically selling off his evil inventions for some reason. So I am was a bit surprised they did not have a short of Metroman on basically what he did while he was "dead" or even a funny montage of him writing lyrics for a song. I don't know, but a Metroman short would be pretty funny.
Great Reaction as always, very funny and insightful.
A fun fan theory about this movie I've seen is that Metro Man probably picked music because it is one of the only things where his powers don't give him an advantage, so any progress and success he achieves in it are solely the result of his own hard work.
I love that! It's now canon to me lol
Yeah, because any other thing, he could at least use his super speed to practice it faster, but music HAS to be done at a specific speed.
@@AZDfoxYeah he could learn it at superspeed but he'd have no idea how he's doing without moving at regular speed otherwise hes moving faster then the sound waves he's producing
You're absolutely right, "family friendly" definitely means 'something for the whole family' and NOT just 'a movie for the little kiddies only' to me too!
Saying that animation is only for kids would be like saying that just because something is live-action it's only for adults which is an obvious fallacy. Lol
Sad that the Despicable Me overshadowed Megamind in the Cinemas at the time. We could have had a sequel.
Another animated movie you might like is A Monster in Paris. The "monster" Francoeur is soooo adorable.
There is a sequel of sorts. It is called Megamind: The button of doom. They got Will Ferrell and whoever voice Menion. It is only 15 minutes long. it's on CZcams.
@@halcromwell9030 I meant a full movie sequel. The Button of Doom is only a mini short.
@@vjpearce That's why I said of sorts
@@halcromwell9030 Oops. I didn't notice the "of sorts"
At least we're getting a Megamind series getting made. I doubt Will Ferrell will be voicing him though.
We're gonna get a Megamind tv show soon!
There's a theory that the reason Metroman wants to do music is because it has nothing to do with his powers. If he wants to get better, he has to work hard to get better with his own effort.
One of the reasons this movie wasn't just HUGE when it came out was because it accidentally developed a bit of a fan feud between its fans and those of the movie 'Despicable Me' that came out at the same time. Basically 'Minion' and 'Minions' were the issue. Fans of Despicable Me claimed that Megamind was a rip off and boycotted it. Which was stupid but no one ever accused crowds of intelligent decision making. Megamind has become a cult classic because of people like you giving it a chance later.
metromen actually turned out to be cool, didn't he? and what a narcissistic jerk he looked like at first!
Right?? I was convinced I was going to hate him at the start haha.
"A fan of aesthetics"
*Me, who's already seen this movie* - "It's called PRESENTATION!"
Also, it feels like you might've missed the end credits scene - we get to see actual Bernard one last time, and missing that scene seems to be a fairly common occurrence.
Hal was like "you never took the time to know me" and meanwhile didn't even know what flowers she liked
Cinema Therapy did a great episode about Megamind focusing on Nice vs Good.
I'll check it out!!
"I've rented a bouncy house and made a gallon of dip. That's the best part, it'll just be you and me."
I'll admit, you had me in the first half.
It's criminal that this movie never got the recognition it deserves. Despicable Me got sequels and spin-offs galore, but this is the only Megamind... so sad... (well, I guess we do have Megamind: The Button of Doom, but no one counts that.)
They even have the perfect set up for a villain; Bernard. He's spent weeks, if not months, dehydrated in Mega Mind's pocket. Who knows what could have happened to his world while he wasn't there. Perfect revenge story piece.
The Music-Man reveal is so good, ngl
Yup, I feel like this is one of the most complete movies that I can recall. This one and princess bride are just a great enjoyment
I am so happy to see someone understand why Megamind is so smart and yet so bad at grammar. Honestly struggle the same with my lack of social life
Glad I found you. Really enjoy your reactions and commentary. Very intelligent and thoughtful. Absolutely love this movie. Really one of the best superhero movies out there. Very deep.
Thanks Wayne! 🥲
My three favorite quotes from this movie:
1. “Warming up? The SUN is WARMING UP?!?!”
2. “Oh no not you Roxanne, I was yelling at my uh…mothers urn.”
3. “Lasers and spikes, ‘OH NO, NOT THE LASERS AND SPIKES!’ You know the drill. ‘’“😂
This movie is hilarious I love it.
24:02 "Everyone is horrible when they first start, okay?"
Especially on guitar. That's a challenging instrument.
this movie came out in 2010, well before the term 'incel' would enter the public consciousness, and yet hal is an _incredibly_ well written incel villain.
Oh heck yeah. I remember when this came out I didn't really wanna see it. But when I did I was SHOOK at how funny it was and how much I liked it.
Agreed! I'm surprised it isn't more popular
As someone who's perfectly happy doing nothing except occasionally hanging out with friends, winning a large enough sum of money to retire on the spot would be a dream come true
Your title completely sums up my feelings about this movie! Excited to see your reaction!
The Joker actually was the same way in a few situations where Batman “died.” He lost all enthusiasm to carry out crimes and became depressed. He fought Batman because he found joy in the plots and schemes. In one situation when he realizes Batman isn’t coming he tells Harley to put the jewels back and says “Without Batman crime has no punchline.”
Also the Joker unlike most villains will straight up say what he’s doing or gunna do and challenges Batman to stop him. He cares more about the fight than the end result, because if he did then he wouldn’t tell anyone so he would get away with it.
7:46 "I'm actually shocked."
Yeah. So was I. So was Megamind.
In the beginning, when Megamind is in the fake observatory, and Metro Man is pretending like he is stuck in the real one, there is one frame where you can see Metro Man BEHIND Megamind in the fake observatory as well.
"To be fair, the urn is a bitch."
_Aaaaand_ subscribed.
Megamind was such a good subversive trope of the good vs evil
26:20 I love how this changes in hilarity depending on whether or not England has a queen. Like once they get a new queen, there's gonna be a whole new level of humor added in watching this scene.
Last time I watched this I noticed something. Bernard himself only has one scene, but despite working at a Metroman monument, he seems to not care at all that Metroman just "died". He recognizes Megamind, but not as himself, but notes his dehydration gun, implying that not only is Bernard a Metroman hater, he is probably a bit of a Megamind fanboy. He calls Megamind's look tasteless, also implying that he has a sort of "grander" image of Megamind in his head, so I think it was a subtle way for the creators to indicate that to other people in society who were always living in Metroman's shadow, Megamind was already a hero, for standing against that jerk over & over again, even though he never wins
Lol, Bernard was definitely thinking that he has a better Megamind cosplay at home
My favourite detail in this movie is if you watch closely when Megamind and Metro Man are standing waiting for something to happen with the death ray, he actually disappears from the screen for a split second
Where Disney thrived off of telling stories for kids that their parents can enjoy, Dreamworks is at its best when it is telling stories for adults that kids can enjoy.
Oh, one final comment, I promise. But, I think the best candidate Megamind should have chosen to be the hero...would have been Roxanne. She's already proven that she's a true blue believer in good and justice. The only problem with this is that if that happened, she probably would have killed him during one of their fights, because she was so sick of his antics, and that would have been a tragedy.
I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. At the beginning when the guy yells out “WE LOVE YOU METROMAN!” I thought someone in the theater yelled that at first until Metroman responded.
2:28. "I love how they just keep a baby."
Me: What else would you do with him? He's a blue alien with a head that needs custom tailored hats to fit him. If they didn't keep him, the government would get their hands on him and dissect him. He wouldn't make it out of Area 51, you know. So, the Warden knew what he was doing keeping Megamind in prison. He was the father, the other inmates were the uncles. Yeah, he was raised in prison, but that's better than being killed by the deep state.
I was like 16 years old when this movie came out. I thought it was a subversive masterpiece and I'm glad it's been getting its due in recent years.
I saw someone point out once that music is one of the few things that metroman would have to put effort into learning. And doesn't require drawing in public attention. If he tried something athletic, scientific, mathematic, etc., he would already be incredible with no effort, and he probably knows a lot of that stuff anyway. He can't rely on his powers to learn music or other artistic things.
A theory on why Megamind was just kept in prison since infancy: his own safety. If the prison gave him up, the government wold be the first to snatch up the alien life form that couldn't yet advocate for itself and disappear it into some underground lab forever. The warden and any other prison official who watched over him from the beginning probably realized that and did the best thing they could in the situation. As long as Megamind was under the prison's jurisdiction, the government couldn't touch him.
Hal transforms, and shadowcat is like, "Still just the one gallon of dip?!?!"
20:37 Yooo i actually never really noticed that, good eyes yu have
Great movie & reaction :) Hal is terrifying!!! Guys, don't be like him!!! You should react to Sing & Sing 2. Excellent movies ♥
The best part of this movie it had 3 people change roles to a different role each of the three were made a hero. The hero to normal guy, the normal guy a villian after being made a hero. The villian made a hero because a worst villian was made.
I love that it explores all 3 types of heroes and explores their struggles.
We have hero born with the powers (like Superman) in MetroMan (is he obligated to be a hero just because he has those powers?)
Hero who accidentaly gained powers (like Spiderman) in Hal/Tighten (what if he just wants to use his powers for his own gain - remember most of heroes of this type have some traumatic event that sends them on the path of hero, like death of uncle Ben for Spidey)
Hero who used his brain to gain "powers" using tech (like Iron Man) in Megamind
This is the first reaction I’ve seen of you and I love how chill you are. It’s like relaxing with a friend and I think that’s cool.
Space dad is a impression of Marlon Brando as Jor-El ( Superman's father) in the movie Supetman.
I hadn't even realized the parallels to shrek!
Megamind is one of my all time favorites movies
Megamind was my first animated crush LMAO
to me megamind is a classic and it holds up even today ^^
15:33 Someone's gonna have to make a visit to the tailor.
Oh, also, besides the whole bad guy becoming good, and the whole misunderstood man becoming what everyone thinks he is...there is another angle this movie gives us. The Nice Guy and the Good Guy. Now, when I say Nice Guy, I'm sure we ALL know what I'm talking about. Those Incels that think they have copyright on a woman's attention and that no one else deserves her, and when he doesn't get her attention or validation, they don't understand why and get super angry with HER.
Good guys on the other hand, do things that are good in a way that makes them feel good for doing them. Even if it's flipped around to make it look like he's doing them for a woman's love and affection. But, in his heart, he feels horrible when he does something TRULY horrible.
There are moments where Megamind feels really bad for no other reason than he did something wrong. "Killing" Metro Man, having it all afterward, hurting Roxanne, things like that are what makes him a GOOD GUY.
Nice Guys do nice things because they think it will get them something in return. Good Guys do good things because it's the right thing to do.
And women go for good guys, not nice guys, because of this difference.
There's a great channel here on CZcams called Cinema Therapy that goes into this specific topic. Check them out. You won't be disappointed.
I think the fans commonly accept Metroman likes music because he is bad at it, everything else is easy to him, he has to work at music
Ahh, Megamind versus Incel Man... or, How a Compulsive Catfish Saved the City.
Hahaha
This is the first reaction of yours I've seen. I love your insights on the movie and your attitude regarding animated movies!
9:58 You are right that most people can't handle it. In the late 80's a millionaire decided to do a social experiment. He selected about a dozen people from various walks of life. Some various levels of poor, one or two homeless, some middle class and some upper class people and gave them each a million dollars. He then checked in on them 5 years later. Nearly all of them were *exactly* where they had been before the received the money. The poor ones were poor again, the middle class ones were middle class again and so on. Only one or two of the people were able to hold on to the money.
I've heard people quote studies like this and say that being poor is a mindset. While I would say that is mostly true, bad things happen and things aren't always in our control. Sure blaming circumstances for all our problems is wrong, but so is not taking it into account at all. Crap happens and we can't always do anything about it. So yes, most people can do something to improve their lot in life, but circumstances still matter. We all need to do the best we can and, if someone wins the lottery, my advice would be to immediately take money management classes and/or get some kind of financial advisor.
Turns out, money doesn’t say much about a person. You can’t pay people to be more successful in life. Society is so strung up on the idea that money equals value, but it’s only one small part of life people need. Love, education, and professional relationships are each significantly more important than cash.
Thank you for this, I needed this today. I've just found out that we have to put our dog down since she had three epileptic episodes this morning. Your reaction really cheered me up. ❤
Oh gosh I'm so sorry to hear that, Tereza 😔 pets are family and it's so incredibly hard to say goodbye. I'm glad I could provide some reprieve from it all, even temporarily ❤️
I love this movie, and your video was top notch. I usually don't stay for a whole reaction, but I had to watch yours to the end.
If you like Shrek and Megamind, you will probably love "How to Train Your Dragon".
11:07 write that down! Write that down!
what would have happened if titan had been a villain who is never afraid of anyone
"I cry easily"
I would love for you to react to movies that made me cry, like Arrival, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Hereditary.
Hereditary made me paranoid as all hell for days, gave my homie night terrors for days, 10/10 best horror film ever created.
Hopefully parents can show this movie to their kids to give them an example of how terrible incels are.
For real 😵💫
People don't need to be judged, they need therapy and counseling.
Nice
💚💚💚
Please watch "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" if you haven't seen it already. I think you'd produce a _great_ reaction to that movie.
10:35 "No, no, no. That's the best part. It'll just be, like, you and me."
🤔 You... rented a DJ... and a bouncy house... and made an entire _gallon_ of dip... and it's just gonna be... just the _two_ of you?
🤔 I mean it _sounds_ like you prepared for an entire _party._ Tell you what. Reserve that DJ and that bouncy house again, and make that dip again in two _weeks,_ but this time, invite _several_ people, including Roxanne. What's the occasion? No occasion. You don't need an occasion. It's a party. Party's are fun. Just make sure no one throws up inside that bouncy house.
10:45 "Chicks don't like _bouncy_ houses! They like _clowns!"_
🤔 I mean a chick _might_ like a bouncy house. It depends on how in touch she is with her inner _child._ 🤷
If you _really_ want to meet women though, your _best_ bet is to learn how to _dance._ _Every_ woman loves a man who knows his way around the _dance_ floor.
There was a little more at the very end of movie.
👍
I would like to extend a sincere olo to you.
YOU DARE CHALLENGE MEGAMIND
Metro Man was perfect at everything..
He sucks at Music.. so he is choosing a path that will actually challenge him.
This isn't related to the video, it's just your weekly reminder to watch Terminator 2.
To answer your lottery question if I won the lottery, what would I do? Me personally, I would buy about 500 acres of land. I would put a small trailer on there for a few years while I built my house my workshop burned a couple of geothermal greenhouses plant a nice orchard a nice organic garden, and raise a few different species of farm animals. I would spend the rest of my life at tending to my plants and animals, and producing as much of my own food as possible from doing my own butchery and making my own cured meats to making my own sauces and canning my own food I would probably even get a dairy cow and learn to make song of my own cheese. This is what I would do if I was lucky enough to win the lottery. I would live in a more old-fashioned, traditional life.
Please watch more animated moviess!!!! ✨
