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. It’s like that difference between kind and harmless. If you CAN do harm, you’re kind. If you CANT do harm, you’re harmless.

Hal isn't an incel. Hal is _the_ incel.

And why megamind 2 didn't happen(WAKE UP)

You need to see his video on Megamind vs The Doom syndicate. I have not seen him ever get THAT angry. Close, but never THAT

I think metro man is very relatable for some of us. Just because you are good at something doesn't mean that's what you want to do with your life.

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.

Metro Man is proof that life on easy mode is torture. Humans need a challenge, and he couldn't be human, until he was given a chance.

fun fact roxanes dress changes the more she understands megamind at first it was red when she was against him then it was purple when they started to hang out at the end it was bright blue when they were together

Tighten - "You're so naive, Roxy. You see the good in everyone, even when it's not there. You're living a fantasy. There is no Easter Bunny. There is no Tooth Fairy. There is no Queen of England. This is the real world, and you need to wake up!" *Gunz n Roses - Welcome to the Jungle starts playing* Megamind - "Oh! Your a Villian alright... Just not a Super One... Tighten - "Yeah?... Whats the Difference?" Megamind - "PRESENTATION!" I couldn't remember how to spell Titan, I ended up searching online and found the whole Quote!

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

Hal honestly really scares me. I seen the deleted scene where he asks Roxanne over to his house and when she rejects the idea, he asks whats wrong with HER, instead of whats wrong with him. Why doesnt she love me instead of girls like clowns not bounce houses! That paired with the fact hes willing to kill her later bc she rejected him. Thats terrifying

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.)

Power does not corrupt. Power allows the person to indulge in their corruption that was kept in check by their situation.

I love how the cops and prisoners just take in and raise a baby instead of handing him to an orphanage. Also the idea of an incel having superpowers sounds funny at first, until you realize how terrifying that would actually be.

Around the end reminded me of what was said in Reck it Ralph, "Just because you are bad guy, does not mean you are bad guy"

One detail i like is how roxanne's dress changes colours based on how she feels towards megamind, she changes to purple durind the time she dates him in his disguise and changes to full on blue towards the end.

Wait, my favorite vtuber is reacting to my favorite film reviewer?! Hell yeah!

39:52 the button of doom (the true sequel)shows this perfectly mega mind tries to be like metroman but it doesn't work and so he does heroics his way

lt wasnt brought up, but I love that when Megamind turns himself in, its not just in character for him. But its also the start of his heros journey. The refusal of the call. Thats such a brillant move.

nux taku reacting to schaffrillas productions is a video i never knew i always needed

There are so many beautiful details in this movie q-q When he turns himself into jail, it's not just turning himself in. He literally said: "I'm going HOME" before he does. This isn't just jail for him, it's literally his birth home.

The trailer shows an alien kid trying to fit in at his school for supers. Several orphaned children appear to be arriving to earth planet from outer space. A force of calamity seems to be destroying countless planets, and earth may be next. Alien kid has to team up with Music Man to find the one person with the key to saving the galaxy. The title of the movie: Metrocity

I don't think power corrupts. I think it just brings out what was already there.

absolute power didn't need to do much corrupting, I feel like absolute power just watched confused as the guy just spiraled all by himself.

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.

Still one of the best quotes that explains Hal’s ruin, when he started to loose: “I made you a hero, you did all the fool thing by yourself” 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.

Despicable Me wouldn’t have been a hit without the minions and the subsequent onslaught of memes all of our parents over share in facebook.

Dude, you need to see Schaff’s unchained insanity in his Megamind 2 review

9:18 You say that as a joke, but now that I think about it, he does have the same color scheme as the Viltrum Empire....

When Megamind was dating Roxanne backfired because he was exposed for a liar, I think what happened is Megamind went back to what he knew worked since something new (dating Roxanne and being a good guy) didn't work, and as its natural, when we're hurt but something new we try we fall back to what we know. Edit: same thing happened to Hal/Titan; he tried to be good but when Roxanne rejected him he fell back to his scumy ways

There is no Megamind: The Doom Syndicate in Ba Sing Se.

I think the one advantage Despicable Me had that I can easily think of was the vibrancy of the lighting and colour pallet, which helped it look better in trailers and posters. Seriously, as mediocre as most Illumination movies are, that one thing always stands out to me. Megamind looked good, but comparatively the colours were a bit washed out.

the first 5 mintues of the megamind 2 I was like wtf is this

To be fair, she does have to get to know Hal. He's her camera man and she's a journalist. He's right there half the time. Every time you're reporting on a supervillain, and you get caught in an explosion and Metroman has to rescue you, he is also caught in the explosion from being 6 feet away from you. You probably should get to know that guy

I remember back in the original trailer for Megamind on other DVDs and such, it actually says that Megamind is destined for greatness

Hal predicted the Future. There *is* no Queen of England anymore

Nux and Schaff have the same braincells and its really good, or you know he just prewatched it

Say what you want, metroman is clearly just Markiplier in a skin tight suit XD

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.

Omg, Nux and Schaffrillas in one video? Too good to be true. Collab when?

Yay! My favorite KZfaqr reacting to one of my favorite analysis videos!

another good video about Megamind is Cinema Therapy's "good vs nice"

This is the 1st schaffrillas video I watched and also what got me to subscribe to his channel

Wait megamind 2 oh you mean button of doom yeah that’s good. Doom syndicate what’s that, that doesn’t exist!

Oh hell yeah! Nuxanor watching Schaffrillis. Fantastic.

Megamind's redemption arc is right up there with Zuko, Vegeta, Theon, Thorfinn, Vader.

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.

god i’ve never been so excited

Mega mind was one of the few movies that actually had a real girl boss not an accessory like most movies but an actual woman a person that got to girly and tough, the characters in the story are well written and it is a good story!

More SchaffrillasProductions please

"I am a *bad guy* but that does not mean I am a *bad* guy."

I unironically answer my phone saying "Ollo"

You know a show is good when you want to see more. Though more isn't always good evidently

It is funny, that there's a man who was a president that feels the same damn way.

I remember watching Megamind when I was 10 or something, having forgot most of the story and all names I still remembered the blue, giant-headed villain who won at the end

Megamind 2 turned the first movie's character quirk of not knowing how to pronounce certain word's due to being a social outcast into HaHA MegaminD DuMB :)

Another good video on megamind to watch is the nice guy vs good guy comparison~

I loved your take on Metro Man it truly deepens the character for when i watch the movie again.

SCHAFF REACTION?????? 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Also yeah, much like Rango, Megamind is a masterpiece that is both a parody of a genre while also a very honest story playing with the tropes of that genre in the most genuine way possible ❤

Oh cool! Wasn’t expecting Nux to react to Schaff! He’s my favorite reviewer, and his videos are so entertaining and well made. Hope he sees more.

Schafrillas is basically Nuxanor that is into Theatricals

21:00 Hal is the definition of those 1% of guys on Tinder, who are so LOUD and cry so much that they look like 50% of tinder users lmao

23:26 That’s the fun part about being depressed! You ALWAYS blame yourself! 😂

The reaction to Shaffrillas' review on Megamind 2 is gonna be hilarious. 😆

Went to see mega mind at a school trip and we some how convinced them to let us watch saw (can't remember which one) instead

Nux watching a Schafrillas video?! LETS GOOO!

Thinking about it, i feel like megamind has a similar quality as the iron giant. Underrated yet truly exceptional.

One of my favorite markiplier cameos ever

Along with Spiderverse and Iron Man, Megamind is a Top 3 Superhero movie for me. Anything with Guardians of the Galaxy is scifi.

Nux should react to 'Who is the best NPC competitivly?' By Flase Swipe Gaming. Its one of the funniest videos ive seen in a long time

Great vid boss

I love the metro man arc. He has the same ending as Russian Superman from red son.

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".

Just gonna put this out there. I would love a Deadpool 1 and 2 analysis like this.

“There are no Star Wars sequels, there is no Pacific Rim Uprising, and there is no Megamind 2”

The issue is DreamWorks does not know how to put out their movies. They put out better films than other people at times but because they put it out at the same time and thus a lower quality film does better than Prince of Egypt for example.

Another difference between Syndrome and Tighten is that Syndrome gave himself superpowers. He was talented at making inventions even as a kid, and capitalized on this by making stuff that could even the odds with more powerful people. He even ended up selling these inventions to become rich. Hal, however, didn’t really seem to have something he was talented at, and never felt fulfilled in his job. The only reason he ends up becoming Tighten is because Megamind gave him the powers. I highly doubt Hal would’ve been able to gain these powers on his own, and the only reason he even got them was because of luck. They do however both share a lack of experience and sort of confidence. Syndrome has been making inventions for years, and he’s even managed to kill many supers. Except, he hasn’t. The omnidroid has. The omnidroid was the one that killed all those supers, all Syndrome did was upgrade it and reprogram it to be better. He didn’t personally go out there and fight them, he had the robot do it for him. Hal is similar to this in that he doesn’t really have to struggle in the beginning after he gets his powers. Sure he gets trained by Megamind, but he doesn’t really seem to have trouble with it. Even after that, we don’t really see him fighting dangerous criminals on his level or anything like that. All he does is terrorize people weaker than him who can’t put up as much of a fight as other supers can. The only person in the city who can really stand up to him other than Metroman is Megamind, and even then, he does struggle at first. When things don’t start to go their way, they both flounder. When the omnidroid starts to fight back and Syndrome loses control of it, he panics. This is his first time really fighting without someone doing it for him or it being staged. He isn’t prepared for defeating it without the remote. Hal does this too when he thinks Metroman showed up. He isn’t prepared for someone ‘his own size’ to fight back, and he immediately runs away when Metroman starts to chase after him instead of even attempting fighting back. They both don’t have the experience or confidence to take on opponents stronger or even similar in power to them. This is where the protagonists succeed and they fail.

Okay I can see this happening later, who wants to see if this'll happen later? No guarantee, nux is chaotic as hell and does what he wants. But... "I love you boss!" Nux: "and I love you, random egg boy."

Letssss gooo popcorns already done boys an girls 😂🤘🏽

can't wait to see nux's impression of DEHYDRATION GUN.

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.

Lmao loved that Sorrow Tv reference

If i were to ever be able to make a mega mind movie, i would make revolve around metro man learning both his and mega's parent's are still alive. 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

I have a recommendation of a movie: Hardcore Henry, although it is Rated M, most of it's comedy and action is a complete creative masterpiece!(despite the reviews)

Pacific Rim fans: First time?

Solo leveling season 2 has already been renewed and is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2024. So not very long.

Love these reacts!

I just want it on record that I went to see Megamind at least 3-4 times when it came out in theaters. That's right, even back then I knew.

A super-underappreciated line from this movie is the one where Megamind summed up his motive for choosing villainy: "Being bad was the only thing I was good at." That line hits SO HARD, it's crazy to me that people don't reference it more often.

Megamind was a great movie its a good thing they didn't make a sequel...

Talking about dreamworks, i cant believe trollhunters doesnt get the attention it diserves man, is a great show by guillermo del toro and i think it would blow your mind how good it is for the time

Megamind 2 is as real as Broly The Second Coming.

I saw Megamind when it came out, and I loved it right from the start.

Watching this again, the more I believe that Megamind 2 never existed.

If you want the real sequel, check NEW MEGABOI ADVENTURES by Vo memes. Yes it's a ytp of the first movie, but this is the sequel we all deserved 😂

I think with the opening of megaman almost landing in the rich family but Metro man's rocket pushing him out of the way. Means in the alt universe were he did land there he would be the city's hero

Someone may have commented on this already, but Shaf's video also covers the terrible spin-off series, so the actual movie portion of the review is about an hour - 40 minutes if I recall correctly.

Animation peaked in 2012 And it started with this in 2010

Bro I had this movie memorized as a kid I am livid
