I had genuinely forgotten about the sequel until I saw this. Started wondering how I had missed that and then I remembered it was a straight to streaming cash grab. Time to go back to being blissfully ignorant.

I had never heard of the sequel until a day or two ago when the YT algorithm fed me Schaffrillas' video about it. I still haven't actually watched it, and based on that review I think I'll keep it that way.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of it and it looks awful. That’s paw-patrol level of animation right there, and it definitely sits in the uncanny valley of animation for me.
Paw Parol isn't badly done for the budget. But.. I'll give it to you, it's not full length theatrical release good.
Never heard of it. Streaming only? looks it up
Streaming only.
Don't worry you are better off thinking there isn't one

Today I learned there's a sequel
No! You're not.
Thanks bro
Just like there is no Blues Brothers sequel and Terminator ended after T2.
Pacific Rim, Highlander...
Fuck, the original Pacific Rim wasn't even good. Like, how you gonna set such a low bar and somehow slide under it with room to spare?
There can be only one...well that unless we can milk more money from the franchise
T2 is definitely the best terminator film, but you're missing out if you discount all the sequels. Dark Fate at least is pretty darn good, and it's basically a direct sequel to T2, so you don't have to watch all the films in between.
To merge with another fandom, there is no Megamind sequel in Ba Sing Se 💡
I understood that reference 👈🎓🇺🇸
Should I watch Megamind?
I know nothing about it except that memes indicate people like it. I'm usually on board with a DreamWorks or Pixar movie but I'd mentally sorted this one into the 'not for me' category along with Minions for some reason (not intending to compare the two).
Yes, the first one is goofy but it did the whole "what would an actually average person do with superhero powers" shtick before it was cool, and managed to make it funny and pretty sweet too.
Yes, it's a commentary on the way that generational systematic racism and overpolicing negatively impact black youths. And also a deconstruction of incel ideology.
Yes the first one yes definitely just don't watch anything after the first one after the first one it's a cringe fest
I live for cringe!
Dead Snow I was sad.
Dead Snow II i'm still besides myself. They hit the ball out of the genre!
But if you can't appreciate (good) cringe then the point would be missed
I'm not talking about good cringe I'm talking about bad cringe
IMHO....fuck yes! It's a funny and clever movie that should've gotten more recognition but was overshadowed by other releases that same year. As a grown man on the edge of 40 it's one of my favorite movies and never fails to get a laugh. Endlessly quotable, lots of clever little jokes and gags that are hilarious when you notice them.
I'd say it's absolutely worth at least one watch and if you like it enough to watch it again you'll definitely notice some things that you didn't the first time around and get a whole new set of laughs.
How DARE YOU put the sacred name of Megamind equal to those yellow turds.
To be fair, the first despicable me was decent imo. But the abominations which followed...
Yeah, I agree with you. Now it feels like they're based their entire studio's identity on those yellow turd and milking it to the bone.
The whole idea was to make money the whole time!!!
It's surprisingly funny with a lot of absurdist humor, there's a lot to like, but also not every film is for everyone.
Jokes aside, the original quote really hits different nowadays, and I'm not even British 😅
"Nut Job" is the same. Watched 5 minutes, then vowed to never tell the children about it.
Edit: I mean the sequel.
I forgot about this movie
"It's just a prank bro!"
The prank
Damn this ruined my whole day
Even if I don't like the second movie, I do like the theme song for the TV show made for the movie. Really recommend listening to it.
