Episode 3: Roach Hard: With a Vengeance
This episode reveals a part of Megamind's childhood. It made me sad, although it wasn't news that he lived a sad, painful childhood. He faced hardships—not just a lack of love, but also a lack of the bare necessities to live. However, since he was a very creative child, he looked for ways to have fun and a good time with whatever he could find in the prison rubble. His deprivation was so great that he didn't even have a comfortable pillow to sleep on; it makes me think that maybe he did have one, but it was incredibly uncomfortable. It saddens me that no adult took pity on a child. In the Doom Syndicate, our protagonist mentions that he has a phobia of cockroaches, and this is where the episode broadens our perspective on that phobia. It all happens when Chum accidentally sprays intelligence aerosol on a cockroach, and it becomes a genius that wants to take over the world and can even talk. This forces Megamind to face his phobia of cockroaches. As always, I won't share more details of the episode so that more people can tell us about their favorite scene. In the end, Chum and Keiko learn to work as a team to get rid of the cockroaches, and Megamind, despite his phobia, has to do his part to defeat them.
FAVORITE MOMENTS ❤️
💙There are many favorite moments in this episode; learning about Megamind's childhood was one of them.
💙Another one was when Megamind gathered his courage and pushed the leader cockroach to activate the final weapon. In that same scene, he calls himself a "man," and I have always loved that since the movie and throughout the series, he and almost all the characters recognize him as a "man" and not as an alien. To me, he is a man, and I love him!
💙Another favorite moment—and it just kills me and makes me sigh for him—is the final scenes with his gorgeous, sexy, smug face. I couldn't get the screenshot, but if anyone has it, please share it!! I need it.
