trugger warnig autistic (megamind rant)

this makes me so mad. the animation makes it look like a tv series. megamind looks uncanny valley, and some random characters that are probably someones self insert?? the plot is so mych weaker than the plot of the (Beautifully crafted) first movie. How could we destroy somethinf so perfect? We shol have just left it unrouced. it looks like it was made in gmod. actually thats an insult to gmod. Everything looks and sounds SO Unfinished and unpolished. I can't o believe thwy would do this: im so upset. It looks fanmade. No actualky it would lod better if it was fanmade. Im goinf to die. I feel like megamind in the new movie (from what ive seen in the trailer) did not go through the same development that the megamind from the original movie did. The whole fucking movie was about his character arc, but it feels like they forgot about that, and just wrote his character as “the same as the start of the movie but hes a good guy now.” Also, the entire CONCEPT of these new characters makes no sense storywise!! In the intro of megamind, he states that all he had was minion (and his dehydration ray but that is besides the point). Its not the fact that there are new characters that bother me. Its that dreamworks obviously only did this for money, but they contradicted everything about the first movie that made it so loved and seperated from other movies. Everything from the artwork, to the writing, to the music, to the characters and their interactions was PERFECT in the first movie, and illustrated so many themes about thw world aroudn us. well what does tbis sequel illustrate?? maybe that corporations do not give a shit about art ajd only care about money?? it looks like tje only love put into rhis movie was the love for a fat fucking paycheck. i will now go cry mysekf to sleep and wish i was the man i once was before watching this evil disgusting fucking trailer. sorry if this post is kind of a mess, i made it at like. 1am. And i was really upset (and still am!!) alright goodbye tumblr

You know the reason why Roxanne Richie never fell in love with Metro Man?

Metro Man wasn't a true hero.

All of it was a gimmick and a show. Whenever Metro Man faced Megamind, he was never in true danger and neither was Roxanne, who was so comfortable with Megamind that she spent her entire kidnapping mocking and teasing him.

Megamind couldn't *hurt* Metro Man, let alone kill him. Nor was the city in any real danger whenever Megamind pulled one of his schemes. What does Megamind do when he finally takes over? He robs the bank and vandalizes the town. He acts like a kid with toilet paper on Halloween and kinda annoys everyone, but he never actually *hurts* anyone.

There was no real danger because Megamind wasn't evil, just a mild jerk. Metro Man wasn't brave or strong for beating up a stickman who could barely hurt him, and he knew it. He knew it was just a cartoon and he wanted out.

What's more, Metro Man was directly responsible for the creation of Megamind. He's the reason why Megamind was raised in prison. He's the reason why Megamind was ostracized at school and ultimately went bad.

By contrast, Tighten (lol) exists because of Megamind, and like Megamind, Tighten is a bad guy because he chooses to be. But Tighten is more than a mild jerk: he's actually evil, stupid, and violent. He is basically everything Megamind is not. When Tighten takes over Metro City, he doesn't just committ petty vandalism -- he chucks people around like ragdolls, sets shit on fire, and terrorizes the city. People are injured and people could die.

When Megamind fights Tighten, the city is in real danger, people's lives are at stake, and Megamind could really be killed. It speaks to Megamind's bravery that he goes up against Tighten regardless of his likely death (while Metro Man does nothing) in order to fix his mistakes and protect the people of Metro City from very real danger.

Megamind finally gets to be the good guy, and not just because he chose it, but because everyone finally stepped back, stopped telling him he was evil, and allowed him to be good.

Not only was Metro Man tired of the fake gimmick of being a super hero, he probably also wanted to give Megamind a chance to be a good guy, since he pretty much ruined all chances he had of it back in their school days. Metro Man wanted to make up for his sins. And I say this while in a generous mood, because in reality, I think Metro Man really just isn't a hero.

In short, Roxanne Richie fell for Megamind instead of Metro Man, because Megamind is the real hero here. /end dork rant
