Meteor. Jumper. A dark manHollywood’s endless efforts to make their own superhuman. Inevitably, with very few exceptions, they all come short compared to movies based on Marvel’s classic roster and DC of caps.
The incredibles is a flawful success for Disney, but it’s a different kind of superhero movie to the one whose competitor, Dreamworks Animation came up. Dreamworks’ attempt came out of nowhere to become very popular and it Megamind. T
The film turned the villain into a genius stroke. While Pixar had barely used The incredibles Outside of single sequence, Dreamworks turned Megamind into his own supervision franchise.
Megamind flips the script on superheroes
In 2010, Marvel’s cinematic universe was beginning, but it was clear that there was a famine about the films of superheroes. Megamind He slipped the script and decided to focus on a supervisor, voiced by Will Ferrell, who revealed a deep fountain uncertainty that turned it into a villain. Children made fun because he was growing up he was still kidnapping Roxie’s smart reporter (voiced by his fellow -Alum Saturday Night Live, Tina Fey) because he had a squeeze on it, and compare it to the Metro Metro Man (Metro Man (Metro (Met)Brad Pitt), Who wouldn’t feel inferior?
Round the cast out is Jonah Hill Like Hal, a Roxie camera man, who, of course, also has a squeeze on Roxie, and when he has accidentally put metro spot powers, he surrenders to temptation and becomes tightening of a villain. With no more metro guy, Megamthan has to save the day itself, by overburdening and cutting tightening (the misspelling does not make it clear, a high intellectual bar to clear), but like any good villain, it does it with a sense of style.
It is a basic plot that plays on the ropes set up 50 years earlier on the Superman Comics pages, but it works thanks to a barrage of winks and goals for long time comic fans and one lining that thread the needle of making children and adults laugh. Bring in over $ 300 million in the box office and become a feeling on social media, Megamind Developed a cult subsequently begged for more.
Megamind got the worst form of sequence
Fans could play the video game, Megamind: Showdown Ultimate, and re-watching the Blu-ray that included a new short, Megamind: The Doom buttonBut the long-rumors took years to come off the ground. Ultimately, Megamind vs the Syndicet Doom went directly-to-ride on Peacock In 2024 and bring back any of the original cast as the former core goes up against his old friends, including Pierre Pight, the mime-in-minded mime, one good gag of the film. Aimed directly at children, the sequel does not have the whole charm of the original film, and in an age of high quality children’s shows that include Marvel (Spidey and her amazing friends) and Dc (Teen Titans Go!) Heroes, Megamind’s second trip performed so badly that most people don’t even know it exists.
To make things worse, the sequel launched alongside a brand new stream series, Megamind rules! Throughout the series, Megamind is against the Ultimate Evil: Social Media Algorithms. In a show aimed at children, Megamind tries to become a hero that everyone can look up to but also a social media influencer. The result is a mixed mess of cheap animation and plots that try to learn lessons while also explaining that social media is where the real power is.
If Megamind’s sequence had been reintroduced as a parody of the McuThere is a good chance that it could have been very popular, but instead, the team behind the streaming sequence and a budget series of almost zero to work with, and it shows. Pivoting led to embracing a modern social media era instead of provoking joyful in classical ropes to a franchise who has no clue who his target audience is, and as a result, no one is worried. Being defeated in a day’s work is a good villain; It’s forgotten that really hurts a supervisor.
Thank goodness, you can ignore the sequence and watch Megamind on Netflix.
