Though Megamind intends to be villainous and causes a lot of mayhem, he is far from what he aspires to be, and he generally refrains from actually hurting anyone.
Plot. Supervillain Megamind and his archnemesis, the superhero Metro Man, are both aliens who were sent to Earth as infants before their planets were sucked into a black hole. Though both land in Metro City at the same time, Metro Man is raised in a mansion, while Megamind is raised in a prison.
Hal Stewart, better known by his supervillain name Tighten (alternatively spelled Titan), is the main antagonist of DreamWorks' 21st full-length animated feature film Megamind, the first installment in the Megamind franchise.
The "duality of man" is also a major theme, as Megamind is both a hero and a villain throughout the film. The idea that good needs evil and vice versa is a sophisticated philosophical one, but it's handled in a child-friendly way throughout the movie.
Throughout the years, Metro Man has battled and defeated Megamind dozens of times, which earned him the praise and love of the people of Metro City. Some even being called "The Battle Of The Century".
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.
After realizing he must save Metro City from Titan's misdeeds, he realizes his parents were not supervillains and must now behave in a way they wanted to at the time of their saving him.
Unlike the original Megamind movie, which was produced by DreamWorks Animation, the sequel was produced by its television arm, DreamWorks Animation Television. The sequel is also being panned by critics for its uneventful plot, which features only loosely defined threats and other narrative threads.
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.
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.
Hal is short and obese with short red hair and brown eyes. When he gains Metro Man's powers he also gains his same height and body shape, his hair is also longer and curlier but his face and eyes remain the same.
In How Smart is Megamind, I estimated that his IQ is probably around 350, significantly higher than the smartest human on record. (In fact, he beats both Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking by almost 200 points, and the estimated IQ of the smartest person on record, William James Sidis, by around 100.)
Megamind isn't a typical hero, so having a cockroach phobia despite fighting supervillains makes perfect sense. Ultimately, Keiko and Chum help him conquer his fear and save the day.
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.
The Doom Syndicate acted as a sequel as well as a pilot for Peacock's Megamind Rules! TV show. However, fans of the iconic film were not happy with the resulting product, with the film scoring a lousy 0%. The sequel has been in the making for over ten years and has infuriated fans as their time has been wasted.
Megamind sequel universally hated, rated worst DreamWorks film ever produced. DreamWorks released Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate via Peacock on March 9, as a sequel to their popular film Megamind (2010). The initial trailers and teasers in February received harsh criticism.
Megamind has blue skin with pink accents at his ears, cheeks and lips, suggesting he does have red blood, just like humans. In fact, aside from skin color and a few physical size differences, most notedly the large head, he appears to be just like any other human male.
In the trailer, when Megamind's parents put him and Minion in the escape pod, his father tells him, “You are destined for greatness.” Megamind's narration comments, “That was a lot of pressure to place on an eight-day-old.”
According to Fandom.com, Megamind's forehead is about 9 inches tall, making the upper portion of his head an impressive three times the size of an average human male's.
Aquatic animals often tend to have blue, gray, and green colorations. Megamind's possible semi-aquatic nature may not be the only reason for the color of his skin. While, in popular culture, we usually think of extraterrestrials as “little green men,” the creators of the film chose to make Megamind blue instead.
