I got two unpopular opinions about the Megamind Peacock thing.

1) It's overhated because DreamWorks for some reason insisted on calling it a sequel, when it's pretty obviously meant to more be a pilot special for the Megamind TV show. From what I've seen, it's nothing GREAT, but it doesn't really seem worth hating and is only really seen as that bad because they chose to call it a sequel for some weird reason. (To generate hype? I don't know)

2) Megamind's design is FINE enough in it. Like, I see so many people complain about how he looks but....it's the same one as the movies. It's just less detailed because of lower animation.

Ship trope I'd love to see more of: "Are we in love? I mean, yeah, probably, but that's a problem for future us. Right now we're just trying to make it through the Plot."

Anyway PSA re: Megamind and hopefully this shows up in the tag...the Doom Syndicate has literally always been part of his backstory. They're in the games, including the one that came out in November 2010. They're in the Art of Megamind book. They were even going to be in the original film, for a LONG time, and can be seen in storyboards from way back when. They were cut from the plot fairly late in production. The ones for the new movie/show are new designs, but the Doom Syndicate has literally always been a thing.

my only complaints about the new megamind material:

that is not a parakeet

you cannot work and cool glass like that in 15 minutes i am SORRY

everything else is gravy, chefskiss, love it. so much quiet fishalien stuff happening. megamind has a cold fusion reactor somewhere. minion/chum & roxanne seem like best bros. the former mayor makes blown/lampwork glass figurines. side characters have first and last names. megamind is a goofy little egomaniac where it's funny and down-to-earth where it counts. it is a show made for me personally and i am eating it with a spoon.

Ooo, lol, looks like someone got their knickers twisted so hard they wrote a whole essay about how they're categorically correct about an ultimately subjective matter. That's always a winning approach.

Please do not try to "educate" me the difference between writers and executive producers in animation. I have an animation degree. I'm not a child.

 I follow both Brent and Alan on Twitter and have been for like 3 years now. I have been watching their updates since the announcement of the show 2 years ago. I have pics of them celebrating finishing up the writing. Here's proof that they wrote it, including screenshots of the IMDb Brent had linked on his Twitter. 

I said this is not what they consider THE sequel. Obviously it is *a* sequel. I'm saying people should not be treating it like Megamind 2 when it is a pilot for the TV show. They want a real theatrical sequel.

This is a random screenshot I felt was important

I think this person better put what I meant about not as many people would care this much if it wasn't on streaming:

Megamind was an arrogant little egomaniac for the entirety of the first movie. Not sure how you missed that. Roxanne appears dissatisfied with her place in life from her recording at the Metro Man Museum with Hal onward, and does her level best to become the hero her city needs because no one else is going to stand up and do it - not sure how you missed that, either, but her whole character arc is about stepping up to the plate to do good. Well done reducing her to a single career point and then discarding her. I wasn't surprised to see her frustrations with going right back to reporting. That was a headspace that made a ton of sense for her. It was set up incredibly well.

And Megamind himself says, "some days, it felt like it was just me and Minion against the world," so you might think I agree with you there - but in fact I'm going to point out the SOME days, it FELT LIKE. There is no reason to believe that he never had any other professional associates between the time he left the schoolhouse and the time we see him as an established supervillain. In fact, I can and will argue that there's room to interpret *he himself* saying he wasn't always flying solo. It's up to interpretation - but it's there.

And no, Roxanne and Megamind are not and should not be "quasi-dating" unless you want to look past the enormous Bernard lie. Which I can't say I'm surprised you did, since Roxanne doesn't matter as anything other than Reporter Romantic Interest, apparently. The end of the original implies they have *potential.*

But I'm not trying to convince you. At the end of the day, you didn't enjoy something you hoped to enjoy. You missed a few key points about the original, so the pilot of the show didn't line up with some of your expectations and it pissed you off. That's a shame. But instead of offering some grace and recognizing it for what it is - a movie designed for a younger demographic than the original, the first ounce of love Dreamworks has shown this IP since its initial release more than a decade ago, and as much story as could be crammed into 83 minutes because the people making it only had so much time within which to work, which is *honestly a fun ride* if somewhat tonally dissonant compared to what YOU were hoping for - you've decided instead to focus on what it wasn't: What You Personally Wanted. And you've decided to make your disappointment everyone else's problem instead of processing it like an adult and moving on.

I think you're boring, I think you're unkind, I think you're a whiny little bully who came onto MY POST to bitch and complain about how you're the god of what I'M allowed to enjoy. Block me, if I make you so miserable. I'm busy having fun.

How does the movie misunderstand the core elements of Megamind's character? Stop thinking about this like "Megamind 2". It isn't and never was meant to be. The movie is a pilot to the show. The writers have stated that they do not see this as THE sequel to megamind. It is just a chapter in the Megamind story. The move with the show together was so much fun to me. If it's not for you, okay? Move on? It's not that deep. Y'all are really hating on something that no one would have given a shit about if it was aired on Nickelodeon a few years ago.

Requested people support them tomorrow. Meaning watch the movie and show. Which I'm assuming you did since you have so many opinions about it?

The original writers of Megamind have been waiting a long time to tell this story. Please support them tomorrow!

Thoughts on Megamind Rules: look I'm not gonna lie, I thought the movie that acts as a pilot for the show was okay - pretty good. I thought my enjoyment of the show itself was going to be mostly nostalgia/ loyalty to Megamind. But I can say with absolutely ZERO bias that I GENUINELY enjoyed Megamind Rules. I think people who are refusing to watch it are seriously missing out on some really fun Megamind content. Also it's SO fucking funny? I can almost guarantee, you will be wanting more at the end. I hope to God they've got more episodes coming soon. If you're anything like me, and love children's animated television, then you'll love this and if you have kids, they will love it.
