I worked on this movie! The crew gift was a full size Megamind cape. Still hanging in my closet.

That queen of England joke has aged terribly but it still is the funniest joke in the movie for me imo. Kills me everytime

I've seen a theory that the reason Metroman chose music is because it's something he's not instantly perfect at. It's something that will take training to master, he can't just rely on his powers.

Megamind’s disguise as “Space Dad” is a play on Marlon Brando’s portrayal of Superman’s father, Jor’El

I love that Metro Man became Music Man, _because_ he's awful at it. This is a man who can fly, move at super speeds, has laser vision and super strength, he's been adored all his life and has been seen as all-can-do, and... *He's tired!* So what does he do? He finds something he's bad at, something that takes practice, and works on that. He found something that can challenge him, and gave himself an actual goal to strive for and work towards.

Whenever people think of “amazing mid 2000s animated comedy” everyone says Shrek, but Megamind is absolutely slept on. A gem

Megamind was one of those "twin" movies with Despicable Me. Came out around the same time and both leveraged the term minion, albeit in different ways. Megamind was overshadowed but was a real favorite in our house back then due to PRESENTATION!

2:15 The fan theory is that the warden kept him because that kept Megamind from getting cut up in some lab.

Gotta love Hal as the Nice Guy™ way back in 2010. This movie was seriously underrated.

Fun fact: when Megamind, MM, and Metrocity are on the 2 screens waiting for the death ray there is a spilt second frame where you can see a blur of MM when he stood behind Megamind during his mid life crisis (the scene would have to be played back 0.25 speed just to even see the blur). That is amazing attention to detail that didn’t need to be included but am I glad it was

"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.

i realy love that they dont make metro-man just be an "asshole" you understand him, and he trully believes in megamind to do good, seeing him as a friend, i for real LOVE it, knowing that they didnt go trough the easy route of "oh, if the bad guy is good, than the good guy is bad"

I really like how this movie treated Metroman, it made him the "antagonist" for a time but showed he wasn't some dumb narcassist when it came down to it, and the dangers of a society placing all they have onto one guy both physically and emotionally. I also enjoy how he chose music, something he is obviously terrible at, to be his new passion, specifically because he cannot be perfect at it. A lot of depth to essentially a side-character.

That queen of England clip was used sooo much after her death it was pretty funny I’ll admit, people were ready with it for years

Megamind is a gem, that (un)fortunately got shadowed by Despicable Me. There are no sequels or spin-offs and while that may sound sad it allowed the movie to be a very special stand-alone thing

Just like Deadpool said in his movie: „You don’t need to be a hero to get the girl. The right girl brings the hero out of you.“

I hope this movie isn't forgotten, it deserves to be remembered as a classic.

Megamind blasting Welcome to the Jungle was one of the best experiences I've ever had in a movie theatre. Full ass men were grinning ear to ear next to me completely absorbed into this movie.

This is one of those rare movies that, for me at least, gets better with every rewatch

Watching this movie really gave a major point of Megamind's character. To him, this whole villainy thing was just a game. He wasn't in it to hurt anyone, he just enjoyed the metaphors of hero and villain and zest in the thrill of the fight. If all he wanted was power, he would have just given it all to himself instead. Tighten, on the other hand is sinister because he takes this seriously. He's not goofy, he's not funny, he's just a terrible person who only cares about personal gain and vindication. That's what a real supervillain looks like.

A cool detail about Metro/Music Man. He chose music was because it was the only thing he wasn't instantly perfect at. He was so bored with life--music would actually require work and practice and thus gave him meaning.

"Space Dad" was a parody of Marlon Brando's character in Superman, where he played Kal-El's father, Jor-El. The way Megamind talked and looked was very "Marlon Brando in his later years."

My favorite part about Megamind's rise to "evil" is just a reaction to rejection and failure. It was simpler to run counter, and as a bad guy, he wasn't supposed to be accepted or succeed

"Hal's Space Dad" is a parody of Marlon Brando's Jor-El from _Superman_ waaaay back in 1978.

Big Hero 6, The Emperor's New Groove, The Adventures of Tintin, and The Mitchells vs the Machines are all excellent animated movies - and Tintin and Mitchells have shockingly few reaction videos for how good they are.

Megamind has gained so much steam in the last decade or so. I absolutely love it. It's well written with plenty of twists and gags. The humor is ridonkulous, the song choices were spot on, and its immensely quotable! I use "Ollo" from time to time and absolutely love Megamind screaming, "MY GIANT BLUE HEAD!!" 🤣🤣🤣

This movie is such a blast and a great spin on the Superman and Lex Luthor dynamic.

It's funny, I believe my brother-in-law saw this movie before the MCU, and he said that Iron Man reminded him of the 'PRESENTATION!' bit. Like how he'd make his entrances to AC/DC's 'Shoot to Thrill'. Space Dad... hmmm, it does look a bit like Marlon Brando as Jor-El in the 1978 Superman movie.

Shame it was overshadowed by Despicable Me. The fact that Megamind was forgiven for his years of criminality and creating Titan is a little difficult, but such a great movie. I loved that the police were so spoiled by Metro Man’s heroism that they had no idea how to act. Firing into the air, not trying to stop Megamind.

You should definitely watch the original Superman movie. Megamind’s Space Dad was a direct parody of Marlon Brando’s Joe-El (Superman’s real father). Also this movie also parodied Superman’s flight with Lois Lane with Titan and Roxanne’s flight down to the bit where Superman lets Lois fall but that movie played it out as whimsical and romantic while this movie rightly points out that was messed up.

"Well, good luck on your date!" "I will!" I don't know why, but this line makes me laugh out loud every single time.

Megaminds purpose wasn’t to be “Evil”, he just didn’t have a purpose. Since he kept getting treated as the bad guy, he just assumed that’s what he was supposed to be.

This is the most quotable movie. Literally every line can be a quote

One of my absolute favorite animated films.

Have you noticed when the appearance changing watch was used, the eye color stayed. Warden has blue/gray eyes and Minion has Brown. So when Megamind was asking to be let go to fight Titan you could already see it wasn't the real Warden. :) Or Bernard has brown eyes, Megamind has green. There is inconsistency in that though, when Minion is disguised as Megamind. Great reaction to amazing movie, thank you for sharing!

On the topic of Funny Animated Movies, The Emperor's New Groove is a MUST WATCH if you haven't seen it already. One of my favorite movies of all time, still watch it 20 years later

this is my favourite movie and one of the best examples of Good vs "Nice" Hal was just a Nice guy who pretended to be good only to get what he wanted. megamind, was good at heart and never actually wanted to hurt anyone, he just got pushed down the wrong path of how to get what he wanted from life. metroman is probably the most interesting character, since he was born with all these powers and basically put above everyone else, he had literally nowhere to go, so he went along with megamind for some kind of purpose, but it was just fake. so he quit and went to music, something he's bad at and can improve on so he feels like he gets somehwere in life

This is unironically a fantastic superhero movie. Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame is a movie I'd wholeheartedly recommend

Brad Pitt as Metro Man is the most funny and awesome casting ever lol

Megamind is perhaps my all time favorite Movie, it’s the Most Clever, Funny, Emotional, Relatable, and Brilliant Film with a lot of Unexpected Twists, the Message of Choice, and a Unique Take of Good and Evil.

Such a stacked voice acting cast 😂😂 wish we got more

The Space Dad joke is a reference to Marlon Brando's performance as Jor-El (Superman's dad) in the 1978 Superman film starring Christopher Reeve. Highly recommend that film, if you haven't seen it.

The movie was so good!! Also notice how Roxanne's outfit changes as she interacts with Megamind. At the start it was Red the opposite of Megamind's blue.. Then in the middle it was purple and by the end it was blue!

The "space dad" was a reference to Superman's father, originally played by Marlon Brando. One of Brando's most famous roles was The Godfather, which is what they were imitating with his voice. So the "space dad" was a bit of a double-dip reference.

Thanks for noticing David Cross. I think you're the 1st reactor I've seen watch this that even mentions him and he's a gd comedy legend.

Megamind isn’t deaf (note the look he exchanges with Roxanne when “MusicMan” starts playing). But there was a real villain out there to stop; the goal was to convince MetroMan to return to the job: this was _not_ the time to get sidetracked in a debate over his level of musical ability, or lack thereof.

I LOVE this movie! It's so much fun and a wonderful homage to Superhero films. The reveal of how Metro Man faked his death was so unexpected. Fun facts: The film's plot was based on the premise: "What if Lex Luthor defeated Superman?" Hal's "space dad" is modeled after Marlon Brando, as Superman's father from the original Superman film. Hal Stewart is named after two characters who have held the title of the Green Lantern, Hal Jordan and John Stewart. According to the original Master Mind script, Metro Man's civilian name is Wayne Scott after two Golden Age DC Comics heroes (Bruce Wayne/Batman and Alan Scott/Green Lantern)

Love how Megamind calls Metro City...Metrocity like Atrocity...lol 🤣 I get the feeling that Hal Stewart's name is a combination of HAL Jordan and John STEWART who in DC Comics both are Green Lanterns for earth...both heroes. Even if Titan turned out to be a villain. There are also a group of heroes in DC called the Teen Titans. Made up of the Justice Leagues sidekicks. Then there is "Space Dad" who looks like Superman's Kryptonian father Jor-El and sounds like a Marlon Brando impression who played Jor-El in 1978s Superman The Movie. So quite a few DC references. I Think the copper weakness was making fun of Superman not being able to see through lead and Kryptonite which takes away his powers. Lol 🤣 If you have not seen Monsters Vs. Aliens ...it has a similar vibe just with movie monster tropes and alien tropes. Steve Colbert I think plays the President dealing with the alien crisis. Reese Witherspoon plays Susan Murphy and Paul Rudd plays Derek Dietl and Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Cockroach.

"Space Dad" is a nod to the 1978 Superman movie, where Marlon Brando (a famous serious actor of the day) played Superman's Kryptonian father and is mainly seen as a holographic projection who explains things to Superman and is sort of a mentor to him.

I just love how Roxanne treats her kidnapping, like it's just another day. It's also the first hint how long and often they did the same stick. It's the perfect setup for when they discover that Metro man is still alive and reveals why he faked his death. And while Megamind keeps the cycle going, he is making himself into a victim of the cycle, trapped, doomed to repeat himself again and again. And yes, Metro man went easy on Megamind. Considering the speed he shows in the flashback, he could have stopped Megamind from escaping at any time or at least have him back behind bars in the blink of an eye. Thankfully no one knew the full extend of his powers or Tighten would have been impossible to defeat.

Space Dad is a reference to the old Christopher Reeves's Superman movies in most Superman iterations his dad comes to him as a hologram or an AI version of his personality in the Christopher Reeves movies he was played by Marlon Brando but Megamind chose to use an older Brando from the Godfather with a puffy cheeks and the slurred words as a joke to the character

Megamind’s “space father” illusion was a parody of Marlon Brando’s portrayal of Jor-El from Superman.

the most underrated animated comedy ive ever seen in theaters next to lego batman

Honestly there is just so much subtle care in every part of this movie, little background jokes and details everywhere. And with the excellent writing and animation i really wish it did better when it came out.

One of the most underrated movies ever honestly

"We're having the walls and ceiling removed" He says, in a place without walls nor a ceiling

at this point, someone probably aready said it... but you know why metroman decided to become a musician? because it is something that his super powers cannot help him with... troughout all his ife, everything was easy for him, everything he tried, he scuceeded, music is something that one needs to practice to become good at, and that is what he wanted, he wanted to acctuly feel like he diserved something, he wanted to reach something trough hardwork! metroman is such a human character and i love it

"I'll just pack my thing and go!" is one of my favorite lines, gets me every time lol

I always love seeing you react to Hans Zimmer having done the score when you reach the credits. Part of the reason you see him everywhere, at least in this case, is that HZ is head of the music division at DreamWorks. So he'll do his share of DreamWorks movies every now and then.

Your puckered lips look was absolutely hilarious! You pull it off so naturally and effortlessly its hysterical!

also another side note, you can tell by the colors roxanne wears through out the movie starting by the color red representing the full oposite of blue or as some would say it represents metroman, going to purple (a mix between blue and red) when he is starting to get to know roxanne and fall in love, to finally wear full blue at the end of the movie, representing the growth megamind had in her.

Bernard was dehrdarted and kept in Megamind's coat. So he turned out to be in the washing machine, because when they washed the coat, he got hydrated and turned to Bernard again

We love Megamind in this house. It is so underrated.

Thanks for sharing your reaction to this. "Megamind" and "Elf" are my favorite Will Ferrell films. This and "How To Train Your Dragon" are my favorite animated movies. I'm glad that you also enjoyed it.

The theory behind Metro Man choosing to learn music is because unlike every other 'talent' he has which he seemed to be born with , music is the only thing he wasnt born to know , he has to learn it like everyone else. Its really interesting

OMG this reminds me, if you haven't watched Monsters vs Aliens. YOU WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOOVE IT. i'm SURE. TOP tier movie

I always wil like how relieved Megamind looks for a second when he thinks Metroman is coming for him after the observertory expodes.(6:57) It clearly shows he has no actual intention to kill him.

I love that all the mispronunciations that Megamind does is because he was kicked out of school so learned to pronounce a lot of words on how someone who didn't grow up knowing the weird pronunciation rules American English has. Like school. If you were just learning it you wouldn't pronounce the "ch" as a "k". Either that, or he is so intelligent that he thinks everyone else is mispronouncing them because they are stupid and it doesn't make any sense to say things the way we do.

Space Dad is a pastiche of Marlon Brando's portrayal of Jor-El, Superman's dad, in the 1978 Superman movie starring Christopher Reeves.

Nothing will ever beat the, "Presentation!" moment for me. Epic

I just realized the warden was there but younger when Megamind got on the bus. The man literally watched the blue man grow up

Loved the reaction as always. If you're ever looking for another superhero comedy, there's always Mystery Men with Ben Stiller.

Somewhere in the multiverse is a universe where Megamind came out first. It was then followed by Megamind 2, a movie starring Minion, Megamind 3, and Megamind: Teenage Angst. Also, Dreamworks ended up buying a floundering Illumination.

The "Space Dad" bit is a spoof of Marlin Brando's portrayal of Jor-El from the Superman movie.

the fan theory on why metro man decided to become a musician is because it's one of the few things he can do based entirely on his own skill not his superhuman abilities. also one of the first movies to explore an incel as a villain. also i believe it's getting a tv series on peacock. space dad is marlan brando as superman's dad in the christopher reeve movies

The first time me and my family watched this movie was we were at Walmart and it happened to be playing and just started but we were leaving so we ran and bought it and took it home it's one of our favorites

i love how you say metro man is condescending while he literally walks on water :D

Emperor's New Groove: _"Allow me to introduce myself."_

The Space Dad thing was a reference to Superman's dad in the Superman movie from 1978. Also, I'm glad Megamind doesn't have a sequel because it's just fine as a standalone film

I swear Titan also made me feel uncomfortable whenever he appeared on screen in the cinema. And I was a child back then 😂

Even before the MCU peaked, this movie asked 3 questions: "What if you had the power to do good but were lead to believe you're evil?", "What if you had powers but you just don't want to spend your life fighting evil?" and "What if you gave power to an unworthy person?".

If you saw the original Superman from the 1970's with Christopher Reeve, then you know the reference to the "space dad", Marlon Brando played Jor-El, Superman's father. He is best known as the Godfather in, well, "The Godfather". Also, some movies that everyone seems to have slept on, besides this one; "Robots" with Robin Williams and "Hoodwinked" with Anne Hathaway. Both are quite hilarious, and not the story you were expecting.

Megamind is fantastic. I've seen it several times and it still makes me laugh. We reference Arachnis Deathicus and "You were right. I was less right" a lot.

The queen of England joke has aged like fine wine cos it’s true now 😂 that always cracked me up and it’s just been made even more real

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Storks are two great non-Disney films. Not as emotional but highly creative and entertaining

I had so much fun on your livestream. I’m happy to saw me several times in the chat! And thank you for your sympathies on my dying cat. It means so much to me.

21:39 that joke did not age well!!😭🤣 Ps - love your reactions!

"That's a rich lady scream." 😂😂😂 You got me Vee, you got me. This was a ton of fun! Thanks for the reaction. You always bring it.

Between Megamind and How To Train Your Dragon, 2010 was the best year for Dreamworks until 2022.

I've loved this movie ever since it first came out and it's always depressed me that it got so overshadowed by another villain-to-hero story (a vastly inferior one at that) that came out earlier that same year.

Yes! I love this movie and is terribly underrated for its story telling and villain characterization. I hope that you consider Chungking Express, it’s both cute and very “deep” in its feelings and I’m sure you’d have a lot to say about it! Continue on with the foreign films!

Watched this movie back in 2015..underrated af,enjoyed every bit of it ,brings back nostalgia and your reaction was a cherry on top..you have a new subscriber ig😉❤❤

A master piece I’m so happy you reacted to this

i love seeing people watch this movie for the first time, it's so underrated!

A movie similar to this, in terms of good writing, humor, and character development is "The Emperor's New Groove". Please react to that.

Hi Vicky!😊 This is a very clever animated film that is really enjoyable!🏆🏆🏆🏆 The Space Dad is a reference to the film "Superman" (1978) where Marlon Brando (The Godfather) plays the biological father of Superman. Great reactions to this fun animated film with many twists and turns, Vicky!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

This movie is the pinnacle of pop culture and memes

You aren't ready for the squeal 💀💀💀💀💀💀

megamind is peak movies of Dreamworks

Okay but why did I literally Pog when I saw this title and thumbnail? Lmfao
