Part 1 of discussion with Eric Fogel, Director and Executive Producer of Megamind Vs The Doom Syndicate and Megamind Rules!

Machia Villain is totally Bernard, just sayin' ---

This was the most shocking information thus far LOL. I think Minion desired the name-change, but Megamind was the one to rename him.

Same, Megamind, same.

MEGAROX, HERE WE GO!!!

just finished watching Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate and i have some thoughts!! please do take this with a grain of salt as i'm just one person; i absolutely do not want to rain on anyone's parade!! if this is your favourite movie, don't worry about the gripes of some stranger on the internet 🥰

let's start with the positive!! despite what some people are saying there are things to enjoy about the film, and i think that lies in the fun of Megamind's old crew. although Behemoth looks a little phoned-in and Pierre Pressure was an easy joke, i really enjoyed the designs for Lady Doppler and Lord Nighty-Knight. the scenes they were in with Megamind were definitely the most engaging!! but that's...about where my enjoyment of the film ends. i think the film's biggest sin is the enormous amount of exposition-dumping and telling rather than showing. there were so many times where characters just...stated things about themselves, or spoke aloud why they were feeling the way they are. they're like...character notes that a writer jots down to keep track of emotional journeys. it really breaks the immersion and makes the characters feel mechanical, clunky, and a bit of a hivemind. Megamind and Roxanne in particular feel quite stripped of their original personalities, which is such a shame. then there's drastic reduction of chemistry between Megamind and Roxanne. canonically, this movie only takes place a couple of days after the events of Megamind, but the two are barely affectionate with one another to the point that it's weird. perhaps it was written as them being comfortable with one another, but at times it almost felt like there was dislike between the two of them...especially from Roxanne's side!! Megamind is hardly recognisable compared to his lovestruck counterpart from the first movie, and Roxanne's bold, caring nature seems to have evaporated. it makes it very hard to get invested in their relationship at all 💔 speaking of Roxanne, i find it such an odd choice to make Roxanne have an existential crisis about being dissatisfied with her life just a few days after the events of the previous film...you'd think she'd want to take it easy for a while! i feel this characterisation of Roxanne does her a lot of disservice, and reduces her more to plot functionality. Roxanne doesn't strike me as the kind of woman who'd be starstruck re: some kid's online following and decide she's inadequate by comparison. again, a lot of the things we love Roxanne for were just quite...absent, from this movie. you could predict what she was going to say well ahead of time, because she was just following the beats of the plot 😓 and the time-retcon...isn't it a bit weird that Megamind is a complete Internet n00b? it's one thing for him to be a bit out-of-touch with Gen Z (as he's relatable to us neurotypicals given his alien grasp on certain concepts), but he seems completely baffled by the concept of streaming and followers at all, and this movie takes place in a post-2020 timeframe. it's odd because Megamind is already established as a tech genius in the first movie, and we know he's somewhat affiliated with Internet slang by his use of LOL : ) when texting Roxanne!! perhaps this is a small nitpick that can be explained away, but it seems like a baffling choice and an excuse to write in a trendy character for the kids to relate to 😵 then, moving onto Keiko...she wasn't terrible by any means! but i wish she was more than a social media influencer to get Megamind with the times. if she's Megamind's number 1 fan, surely she would have been his fan while he was a villain...couldn't that have made for an interesting moral dilemma along with the return of the Doom Syndicate: having a child trying to follow in his previously-villainous footsteps? what about Keiko being taken under the wing of the Doom Syndicate after Megamind became a hero? 👀 those are my thoughts for now...i do hope all those talented Megamind fans will build upon these flaws in the movie and create more compelling stories from it 🙏💖

and NO SPACE STEP MOM!!!

i am so tired of seeing grown ass adults throw tantrums and be salty over content that literally is not even targeting them as an audience. y'all need to seriously calm down about the new megamind stuff.

no it's not a cinematic masterpiece... because it's a bunch of more silly and simple "made for tv" low budget stuff that is generally for kids to enjoy, not weird ass adults. y'all, it literally was not made for us. if you've seen any of dreamworks other tv shows based off their animated movies, you get it. if you haven't and have no frame of reference, this hate is overblown, out of touch, and unnecessary.

someone probably just wanted to continue the project and dreamworks gave an "okay, whatever, fine". maybe some day we'll get more cinematic quality stuff if they feel its worth investing in, but the response is as ridiculous as expecting full blown cinematic quality from low budget content that was in no way made for the silver screen or the adult fans.

can you draw book and ice cube in the truth or flair challenge from ii 2 except make it funny as hell

well at least they’re honest

[artseniccatnip]

suggestion: wandersong guys as bug fables bugs ! OR bug fables guys in the wandersong universe if you'd rather but the bugification beam idea sounded more fun to me so i thought id toss it ur way in case it interested you! (unless youve already done this and i missed it!! sorry if so!)

i've actually never done it! I think I was intimidated with trying to think of bugs that fit but then I decided bug fables isn't always 100% accurate so I don't have to be either lol

anyways here's my designs for them!

[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

Megamind vs the doom syndicate was wild - and thoughts on the 1st episode

... Every time the Syndicate said "phase two":

Seriously if you love puns. If you keep an open mind, it's cheesy and good.

Negatives...and workarounds...

it's two days post movie but Megamind swapped his flip phone for a smart phone...Maybe there was a time skip in the movie between the final battle and the new Megamind statue at the museum. I'll buy that.

Chum ! Cute nickname! I personally thought that he'd go over to the Doom Syndicate...but donut king Chum is hilarious. Megamind literally letting Chum go without a fight feels weird, but...plot? Mimicking Lone Heroes? We could get at least 3 efanfics out of that.

The whole ... megamind doesn't understand the Internet. Well. He is in prison most of the time. Minion seems to be the one talking with people and buying the equipment. Though maybe he's more a forum guy than a social media guy. Look at us. We're on Tumblr. (I certainly don't know how to format an Instagram post.)

Literally the concept of the first movie broke superhero tropes. We are still in that wheelhouse, just instead of a flying brick protagonist we have comedy gadget protagonist.

Positives:

Literally just below Camp Cretaceous in quality. (Subjective). Lands comedy and puns and laying out morals very well. It's energetic and feels sincere at points.

Nighty-Knights dialogue killed me. The syndicate each has a legit threat and a joke tied with them! Fingers crossed we get more information about Gale and Roxanne's past in the news business!

Keiko is basically an April O'Neil and Casey Jones child. (Compliment) Fascinated with news and getting the world out. Not afraid to use a baseball bat. I can't wait to see more backstory.

...Mayor Roxanne is a surprise. I like it! An excuse for her to get all the Villain news? A way to bring up tasks for the heroes to do? A hyper competent assistant that argues with Megamind? I'm in!

Anyway. I will enjoy the rest of the show!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH BRENER

October 1st 1984 was the beginning of a man who's legacy will forever plague my brain because his voice is ever so distinct.

Couldn't of had some of my favourite characters ever without this man. Hope he's enjoying his birthday!

I made this collage of his characters!

eh, put the britishcisms in the fics. life is short. thai people write fanfic about american shows and make it super thai centered, also, bc that's what people who write fanfic FOR FREE do. they use their own life as inspo. like obviously it's good to put effort into learning about another culture, but at the end of the day fanfic is for fun, so it's not the end of the world if something is wrong. surely you've read fic where people get britain wrong? people get america wrong all the time too. peace and love etc

What u don't understand is that I don't want anyone to know I'm 🤢 Br*tish 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
