Summary. Megamind 2 was released on Peacock with little promotion and has been far from a hit. Fans slammed the sequel for its lower budget, replacement voice actors, and weak storyline, with a 0% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film is reportedly the worst-rated film by DreamWorks Animation, who are also awaiting the release of Kung Fu Panda 4. Despite being a popular IP, the film failed to impress any of the audiences, and here are three reasons behind the failure of the sequel.
He is a blue alien with a genius-level intellect and a desire for affection stemming from his dark past involving his heroic rival, Metro Man, making him become the villain that he is. Since then, Megamind and Metro Man would fight each other for the fate of Metro City, with the latter always winning.
Known as "Minion" in the original film, his name is changed to "Ol' Chum" in the sequel film Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate and the television series Megamind Rules! This is said in-universe to be due to a copyright dispute with a creature involving a banana.
The film currently holds a resounding 7% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 2.3/10 on IMDB. “Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate” is plagued with several issues that hold the film back. The first, and most obvious, is the lackluster animation quality.
Fans slammed the sequel for its lower budget, replacement voice actors, and weak storyline, with a 0% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. DreamWorks missed the opportunity to turn Megamind into a successful franchise like Shrek or Kung Fu Panda.
For starters, Megamind's sidekick Minion had his name changed to “Ol' Chum,” meaning “old friend.” Not only that, but none of the famous actors in Megamind returned to voice for the sequel. Megamind's personality was even “flanderized” to that of a vain dimwit.
Norbert was created when he follows his tribe out of the ocean only to realize that he is naked. He runs back into the water and comes back out wearing starfishes under his head. The narrator then states that he is an idiot.
Although Megamind did have the intelligence advantage and could defintely keep Gru at bay, with his main way of fighting being countered by Gru's weaponry, Megamind simply couldn't win this battle no matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve.
The issue is that we're comparing him to Superman who, while still certainly imperfect, is intended to be a better-than-average person in every way, including moral. Make no mistake, Metro City's former hero isn't any sort of villain; what he is is normal.
The Doom Syndicate, a supervillain team that Megamind used to be part of, breaks out of prison to visit him, thinking that he remains a villain and that his hero role is part of an evil plan. They embark on a crime spree, eventually challenging Megamind to prove he is still evil by robbing a bank.
The Will Ferrell-starring flick followed the titular supervillain in his attempt to create a more powerful hero to fight. While it was a critical success, it didn't perform so well at the box office, grossing only $322 million on a $130 million budget, one of DreamWorks' lowest-grossing films of the 2010s.
The comedian starred in the 2010 Megamind film, but this time, the new movie will have Keith Ferguson voicing his role. In part, some of their arguments came down to Ferrell's availability and voiceover experience.
Villain-turned-hero Megamind is back for a direct-to-streaming sequel called Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate. The sequel, which will be released alongside a new Megamind TV series, comes almost exactly 13 years after the original ended its box-office run with a worldwide gross of $321.9 million.
One person described the sequel as "literally the worst movie of 2024," although only two months have passed so far in the year. Some of the other adjectives left by viewers to address Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate include "horrific," "garbage," and "a joke of a film."
Now, according to official sources and fan measurements, Gru is estimated to be about 14 feet tall (4.27 meters). This figure becomes particularly interesting when you think about the world he's designed to inhabit.
It's Bob the Minion, also known as King Bob. You can tell Bob apart from his “buddies” because he's short, bald, and has heterochromia (one green eye, one brown eye). Bob is the youngest of the minions (though minions are much older than all of us) and he's definitely the cutest. By far.
Minions (/ˈmɪnjənz/) are an all-male species of fictional yellow creatures that appear in Illumination's Despicable Me franchise. They are characterized by their childlike behavior and their language, which is largely unintelligible.
Megamind (his birth name remains unknown) was born to his unnamedparents in his home planet. Eight days after Megamind's birth, the planet was destroyed by a black hole but he was able to survive thanks to his parents, who packed him in a escape pod with Minion and his binky and sent him off the planet.
Roxanne Ritchi, sometimes known as Roxie, is a smart, practical journalist, Metro Man's alleged girlfriend, and Megamind's former hostage and current girlfriend in nearly every one of his battles against Metro Man.
Metro Man is probably one of the most important figures in Megamind's entire life. Megamind dedicates his life to defeating Metro Man, because even when they were in grade school together, Metro Man had a privileged life and Megamind had to fight tooth and nail for everything he ever got.
Not long after, Megamind becomes consumed with depression because now that he finally destroyed his nemesis he feels he no longer has a purpose and he goes to the Metro Man museum to destroy the memory of Metro Man in an attempt to move on.
Megamind is not only extremely intelligent, but also has a good heart deep down. He's respectful of women, especially Roxanne, he treats his henchman more like a friend, he's affectionate toward his cyborg brainbots, and, according to the creators, he even takes care not to cause any real harm through his villainy.
