#MetroMan

[artykyn]

Megamind was 9 days old when his parents shipped him off the planet. His species is full of super geniuses, Megamind canonically remembers what was happening on that day.

We don’t know how old Minion is but regardless of that, what we do know is that Megamind’s parents trusted him to be a fully capable and responsible caretaker. So whatever he is and however old he is, we can assume he also has a good memory of their home planet and what happened.

Metroman, on the other hand... he has incredible physical powers, but definitely no impressive mind powers. Or else Hal would have become smart. There’s no reason to believe that Metroman’s intelligence or childhood mental development was any more impressive than the average human.

...what I’m saying is that there’s a nonzero chance that Metroman has absolutely NO idea where he is from. Parents probably didn’t have time to leave a note in his capsule. Dude probably thinks he’s just a super special human or some kind of lab experiment and that Megamind and Minion are the only two aliens in this situation. Doesn’t realize he was their galactic neighbor.

Just. Imagine them all hanging out as friends sometime after the events of the movie, and Metroman asks Megamind and Minion how they met each other. A totally innocent and normal question to ask.

But it snowballs into a much different conversation

I think we need to take a minute to appreciate the IMMACULATE dynamic Megamind, Metro man, and Roxanne had at the beginning of MegaMind. That somehow all 3 of then managed to be the 3rd wheel all at once.

I’d like to think Megamind goes on to support Metroman’s music and they become better friends. Megamind would watch and like his videos of him singing. He’d leave positive and encouraging comments (even if there’s no other comments or all the other comments are negative). Megamind would go to his events to support him even if no one else came. Cheer for him at any gigs he gets. Meanwhile, Metroman’s just happy doing what he loves even if it’s not received well. But he does appreciate his new friend (former foe) being there to support him as he is and not the hero everyone else wants him to be.

Me: I hate all superhero movies/shows that boil down to 'it's Superman but an Asshole' they al-

Megamind 2010: all?

Me: oh no not you, you're perfect.

It's complete!!

[transexualpirate]

but seriously the whole plot of the original movie is that megamind is so utterly lonely that having defeated his nemesis aka the person he's supposed to despise he gets bored. if you don't count minion and his prison uncles, metroman and roxanne were his only friends in... forever. that's not just a vital part of his backstory and therefore personality but it is also what kicks the entire plot of the original movie. if megamind wasn't lonely and used to isolation, he wouldn't be bored after defeating metroman. if you're gonna make a sequel, try not to change any minor things like, you know, the entire fucking story. and pay your writers and give them time to work while you're at it

With the... Negativity surrounding the trailer for the new megamind movie/show, my brain's wires started wiring and, welp, here's my idea for a Megamind show: Megamind has to learn how to be a proper hero, and Metroman/Musicman (who is still retired) acts like a mentor, from the sidelines.

Here's a dive into how the villains (evil bernard evil bernard) and characters would work ⬇️

Megamind

He still has the attitude and mannerisms of a villain, as he retains his old personality, but is learning the values of being a super hero. He evil-laughs when winning and such, and also is rather awkward around the citizens of metrocity, but is trying his best. He's still trying to win over their trust.

Metroman

By the end of the movie, I'm pretty sure everyone still believes Megamind killed him, which would definitely hinder Megamind's ability to gain their trust. The general public still thinks Metroman's dead, but there are multiple rumours and conspiracy theories of him still being alive, as he still goes out and could be occasionally spotted.

Villains

Bernard, who is a megamind expert, becomes an antagonist. He has a collection of Megamind's old thrown away machines, plus merchandise. He believes that megamind has lost himself and is "boring" now. As such, he uses the holo-watch (found in Megamind's trash) to steal his appearance and cause Havoc, turning the public against him and "bringing back" the villain he's an """expert""" on. Of course, this plan fails, but he becomes a recurring villain whose objective is to return megamind to his old self. This is either through recreating him (holograms, robots, etc) or straight up trying to manipulate him into going back to his old habits. He's still emotionless and seemingly bored most of the time though. Always having a horrible time.

The Child

Specifically the child from "the button of doom" who gets the dehydration gun and turns his mother into an ice cube. I enjoy the idea of a full on villain bratty child who can't be sent to jail, bc he's a child. (Sort of like the kid from Word Girl and the little girl from Powerpuff girls) He could also reflect how Megamind was as a kid. in the end the child isn't literally evil, just immature.

I'm also changing The doom syndicate from a squad Megamind used to be a part of to fellow villains who Megamind hated. (I know they are based on a cut concept for the movie but it was cut for a reason, megamind shouldn't have been part of a squad at all, he only had Minion, that's kinda the point). My idea is that Megamind was the sort of "main villain" to metroman, and he used to make fun of the rest for being his "side villains" lmao. (I would love for metroman and megamind to have a lego joker-batman sort of thing going on)

Also, what if the villain scene was sort of competitive. They didn't have any respect for each other, and they all worked alone. Until now, considering from their perspective Megamind killed Metroman. They see him as a bigger threat now, and also want to beat him up bc he was the most annoying "fellow villain". As such, they join forces and form the doom syndicate. Although, I do like the idea of them appearing one by one across the show before forming the squad. (Perhaps like a season finale)

Tighten is tricky because he's been dealt with in the movie and it'd be repetitive to fight him again. Although, I think some random scientist villain giving him powers again could have potential, as he's the number 1 Megamind hater and is easily manipulated... Food for thought

My thoughts on if Adam will come back

I'M JUST SAYING! ADAM HAS A LOGO AND IS INTO ROCK MUSIC METRO/MUSIC MAN HAS A LOGO AND FAKED HIS DEATH AND IS PUTTING ON A HELL OF A PERFORMANCE. WHAT IF WE ARE SO SURE HE'S DEAD THAN LATER WE FIND OUT HE'S BEEN CHILLING WITH ICEWATER AFTER GIVING HELL A PERMANEMT THREAT LONG ENOUGH ONE OF THEM ACTUALLY PROVED REDEMPTION? GET TO TRICK EVERYONE FOR ONCE HIMSELF.

[how-can-i-refuse]

Here are my predictions/wishes for the new Megamind series in BINGO CARD edition (the name "Megamind's Guide To Defending Your City" is not official yet).

Feel free to use it, but tag me! I'm dying to know how many Megamind fans there are. And if you have theories, predictions, comments, I would like you to share them with me. There is still a long way to go until the launch of the series, let's kill the wait!

You can also make your own, I would love to see it! I hope you have as much fun as I do.

@thatfilthyanimal Thanks for recommending doing this, I had a lot of fun! :)

So...

Did Metroman publicly declare that he was still alive to the inhabitants of Metro City, and had only faked his own death so he could live his own life?

Or, did he let Megamind take the blame for his faked murder?

Because, of the crimes that Megamind committed, at least the murder of Metroman he is innocent, kind of.

He is still guilty of trying to kill him, though.

not sorry 😇
