Fandom Evil Overlord, aka Megamind Sequel WHEN Dreamworks PLS

- Heroes don't rest! Now I really have to get back to the Lair...

I'm probably not the only one to think of this joke but the idea came to mind and I had to draw it.

hello . I go here

call me crazy but i really think if you haven't actually watched something, loudly hating on it and posting about your massive throbbing disappointment in the tag is pathetic. hilarious bullshit nonsense. form your own opinion instead of just swallowing what's fed to you.

it's not "Megamind 2," it's a show for ages 6 and up. give it some fucking grace or leave it alone if you haven't even had the decency to watch it for yourself.

Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate was very much marketed as Megamind 2 and it canonically picks up 2 days after the end of the Megamind movie Megamind Rules is a mediocre tie in show that is airing far, FAR too late the disappointment is BECAUSE it is just a feature length pilot episode for a mediocre too late tie in show and has none of the quality or care of the first movie The original Megamind movie was an amazing genre parody played straight with good writing, good performances, good animation, and a solid story Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate is lazy, boring, looks terrible, is written poorly, retcons the original movie in pointless ways in order to make unfunny jokes, makes Megamind too stupid to grasp that an electrical appliance needs electricity when he's smart enough to control the fucking weather, and has him arbitrarily terrified of a group of dime store villains when he willingly got punched by evil incel superman Hal in the first movie just so he could get a tactical advantage I haven't seen Megamind Rules, I don't care about Megamind Rules but Megamind vs the Doom Syndicate has EARNED the negative fan reaction

That just sounds like unreasonable expectations right there.

Both 2010 movie AND MvTDS AND Megamind Rules are marketed to kids ages 6+. The fact that it garnered an adult following is a happy coincidence.

Dreamworks wanted a show and gave them a "Show budget" which was, unfortunately, not a lot. Dreamworks also has a history of screwing over Megamind in particular.

Be mad at Dreamworks but don't blame the content or the creators because you're not happy with it.

You're allowed to be disappointed but turn your disappointment to the company, not the employees or THE FANS who do happen to enjoy the content for what it is.

Personally, I'm just happy we got ANYTHING AT ALL. My bare minimum was Roxanne had to be in it and there she is and I am LIVING.

Megamind didn't get an adult following out of happy coincidence it got an adult following because it was GOOD being marketed towards kids is not, has never been, and will never be a valid excuse for poor quality and low effort Megamind was an intelligent story that didn't speak down to its audience, trusted children to be smart enough to understand the core themes, and didn't skimp on complexity it has an adult following because it is a good enough movie to merit rewatching, a good enough movie to reward returning to it later in life with a better critical understanding so you could catch the nuances that went over your head as a kid, a good enough movie that it achieved lasting popularity to the present day from word of mouth alone. do not excuse a lack of effort because 'it's a kids movie' when the creators of the first damn movie didn't and in fact just don't excuse low effort in media at all if more kids media was as high quality as the og Megamind movie more kids would have a better appreciation for good media and over time the entire film industry would have to up its game or else get derided for putting in less effort than kids shows

"Megamind Rules is a mediocre tie-in that's airing far too late" SO WHAT. SO THE FUCK WHAT. What is your problem? What is your damage? The existence of this kids show doesn't negate the existence of the original, doesn't take anything away from you. You're out here pissing and moaning just because it exists??? and you don't like that it exists??? You'd think I'd be used to that by now, as someone whose general existence has pissed people off basically my whole life, but man, it just does not fucking compute.

It says a lot about you as a person that you assume "low quality" = "low effort" rather than low budget or lack of support from higher up the chain. This team was given peanuts to work with and the writers have been beyond ecstatic to be able to FINALLY do something else in this universe anyway; don't you DARE accuse the team working on this show of phoning it in, they worked their asses off.

As for the so-called "poor quality" - IT'S NOT A THEATRICAL RELEASE. IT WAS NEVER GOING TO LOOK LIKE A THEATRICAL RELEASE. Frankly it's fucking weird you expected it to! Megamind Rules is comparable to other direct-to-stream stuff on the market right now and that's not a bad thing. This is a show for children and it does just fine. The original movie had a budget of $130,000,000 for two hours, and this show did not have ANYWHERE NEAR THAT, for like 4 times as much final content. What the FUCK did you expect? What is wrong with you?

This isn't what YOU wanted - fine. It doesn't have to be. That doesn't make it BAD. And the bullying being leveled at the people who made it, just because it isn't what a bunch of entitled adults with weird-ass expectations wanted, is cruel and unreasonable and frankly just fucking bizarre, and I've had it up to here with you people. No one is "excusing a lack of effort," you're the ones assuming that lack in the first place and assigning blame to the workers instead of the corporation.

"Megamind didn't get an adult following out of happy coincidence it got an adult following because it was GOOD" Oh please, lets be realistic, it got an adult following because WE WERE FUCKING STUBBORN AND REFUSED TO LEAVE IT ALONE. Also a lot of us think Megamind is hot. And I would know because I've been here since 2010. Anyway, the show is really good and I will continue to insist that, thanks. <3

BABYYYYYY I DIDNT KNOW I WAS SUPPOSED TO FALL IN LOVE TODAY

In honor of my original meme hitting over 99k notes on tumblr dot com, I’ve made a sequel nearly 4 years later!

(original below)

Sweet embrace

_______ Megamind (Dreamworks

Love their dynamic ❤

people be fucking normal abt ftm bottom surgery challenge.

None of the commenters are gonna see this, but! If anyone’s interested in meta or phalloplasty but is kind of on the fence because they’ve only heard Terrible Wretched Things about the surgeries and results, you should try to find a copy of Hung Jury by Trystan T. Cotten! It’s a collection of testimonials from FtMs who have had bottom surgery, including their reasons, details about some of their procedures, and individual satisfaction ratings, and it includes testimonials from several trans men of color!

This is the book that convinced a buddy of mine to go through with metoidioplasty! I pinky promise, the surgeries are way way way better and safer and more effective than we’ve been made to believe they are. If it’s a procedure you want/need for your health and happiness, it’s a procedure you deserve!

LITERALLY THIS!!!!!! ppl are just parroting what they hear and they’ve been saying the same shit for decades. news flash assholes!!!! if you actually do your research, you’ll find it has gotten better!!!! what you mean is that bottom surgery won’t make you cis, and that is not the fault of bottom surgery.

I'm sure it's progressed in 20 years but when I'm in multiple FTM trans groups and seeing multiple posts from guys who've been basically butchered, including several who have had it just straight up reject and fall off, you bet your ass I'm not spending thousands of dollars to get bottom surgery. It's just not worth it to me.

“my information is decades out of date but i’m still gonna fearmonger anyway.”

I highly recommend that anyone considering a phalloplasty checks out this site

It goes into detail about everything from different types of procedures, to preparations, to recovery, and to risks.

I've found it extremely helpful while I was looking over my options because they don't just vaguely warn you about potential complications; they explain them in depth with the goal of informing you rather than dissuading you.

I think one of the most important takeaways I found here is this section:

The phalloplasty has come a really long way since it was first preformed (almost 100 years ago, I believe!) and complications are a risk with any surgery. Phallo has higher complication rates, sure, but it also boasts a very high satisfaction rate--higher than that of people who have undergone cardiac surgery. And regardless of all of this, shaming people or calling transmasc surgeries "butchering" or "invasive" or "dangerous" is kind of awful actually.

(There's also a similar site for people considering metoidioplasty too!)

@defilerwyrm this seems relevant to your interests

”Don’t fuck up perfectly good parts” is so fucking transphobic you could have taken it right out of any given TERF’s larvae-filled, shit-encrusted mouth.

They’re NOT “perfectly good.” Not for those of us with bottom dysphoria. They’re parts that SHOULDN’T BE THERE. They’re parts that SHOULD BE DIFFERENT. And modern medicine can make that happen.

“Doesn’t even work” I can fuck both your parents with it one after another, shut the fuck up. You can piss with it. You can fuck with it. You can orgasm with it. What else do you want, a song and a dance?

“Doesn’t look like the real thing” if it’s like 2 months post-op maybe?? Babydoll there were SCADS of cis gay men biting their lower lips at my phalloplasty cock at the nude beach. One did an honest-to-god double take complete with jaw drop. And once I get my baculum (by which I mean erectile implant) in December, I’ll be able to put it in any damn position I please. Partner likes ‘em straight out? No problem! Partner likes an upward curve? Can do! Show me a cis man who can fucking do THAT.

BUT WAIT, THEY EXIST. Because phalloplasty and erectile implants and testicular implants are done for cis men, too. Do you think THEY’D rather have no dick instead?

You say don’t want phallo because it doesn’t give you a cis dick. I hear “I’d rather wallow in misery and self-pity because chasers and other transphobes have convinced me that I should not have my body altered from the parts they want to fuck.” I hear “I have been duped into parroting genital essentialist transphobic bullshit by cryptoconservatives.”

I love my dick. This is a $135,000 cock—I saw the bill. It’s QUALITY. And it fucking ERASED my dysphoria. Do I wish it worked like a cis man’s penis? Do I wish I had a foreskin? Of fucking course I do! But you know what I never fuckin’ find myself thinking after bringing myself off is “Gosh I sure wish my hand, pubes, genitals, and sheets were covered in rapidly-concealing jizz.” If it were possible to go back to my original configuration, there is no universe in which I would EVER consider doing that for a PICOSECOND.

The most common complication is a fistula. GUESS WHAT. THEY USUALLY HEAL UP ON THEIR OWN. MINE DID.

With a nebula-sized fuck-you to the transphobic cis gay who coined the term on LJ 20 years ago and discouraged the fuck out of me for ever getting bottom surgery, this “dick roll-up” is so much better than my OEM parts they’re not in the same fucking universe for comparison. They are on different levels of reality apart.

Stop parroting TERF rhetoric to yourselves and your brothers. Not all of us have bottom dysphoria, but for those of us who do, BOTTOM SURGERY IS FUCKING AWESOME AS ALL HELL.

I'm obligated to comment on any FTM bottom surgery post to say hey I got phalloplasty and it owns. No regrets at all. I had minor complications (which are a risk of any surgery!) that have since healed.

It basically eliminated bottom dysphoria for me. It looks like a dick, I can pee through it and it has plenty of sexual sensation. Trust me I've tested it lol

It's not a cis penis but I'm not a cis man so?

I see a lot of of awesome Megamind fanart that I'd LOVE to reblog...

and then I see negativity about Megamind Rules and Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate. I want to engage and share the work, but I can't encourage that kind of negativity. >:/

"There is no Megamind 2! >:<" You're right, DINGUS, because it's never been CALLED Megamind 2! All the hates call it Megamind 2!!

Also, you're not the targeted audience! Let people enjoy things! I guarantee your life would be much happier if you engaged in things you enjoyed instead of ripping on things you hate all the time.

I just looked at the Megamind tag to see if my post was tagged right and I found this.

I'd just like to say, that my rewrite was fueled by lots of negative emotions, and I don't wanna hate on things that aren't meant for me.

But I am the targeted audience. We are the targeted audience. Kids now don't know the original, it was made for old fans, hoping to also put on board a new generation. But honestly, even younger people should be able to notice the lacking in writing, like hell, children these days grow up watching Bluey. If we can get shows like that, like The Owl House, why does a sequel of something loved by now older audiences have to be so bad?

I'm not trying to say I'm better than professionals who took part in writing of Megamind Rules and the movie, I am not, but I want to show my ideas, since I'm not regulated by company executives.

I'm simply disappointed.

No, it's a show targeted at kids. The age range is 6+. Hell, the original movie was targeted at kids, but hey, it somehow appeals to a lot of adults too! And that's awesome!

The original writers, Brent Simons and Alan Schoolcraft are both the head writers and executive producers have always been involved in it.

And it's bold to assume that parents never showed the kids the original movie. It was literally streaming on youtube for free barely 6 months ago. My 4-year-old niece watches it on repeat.

The problem here is that there is a PLETHORA of scorn that people feel the need to slap on a show, and team, when Dreamworks didn't bother to give them the budget that they needed to meet the unreasonably high expectations of "so-called" fans.

None of this is to say that you're not allowed to be disappointed, but direct your disappointment and anger at the company that, for whatever reason, loves to shit on a good thing and not at the individuals who worked hard, putting so much effort into creating something, that honestly, really is beautiful.

I distinctly made the original post by itself stating that I won't engage in negative reviews in Fan content. It causes me, great pains to say that, but It is what It is.

Again, you're entitled to your opinion, but I don't have to hear about it.

Way too funny not to share

The last time we were on a long flight, my wife and I invented a game we call "Little Guy."

You start a game of Little Guy by saying, "I'm gonna hand you a little guy." The little guy is some kind of baby animal you are imagining. "Oh," she might say in response, "Okay," and hold out her hands for it. I will then mime handing her the animal. This provides some clues as to the little guy's size, weight, and general ungainliness.

She then gets to ask questions about what kind of little guy this is, BUT NO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS ACTUAL APPEARANCE OR SPECIES ARE ALLOWED. Qualitative questions, or questions about his behavior, are the only ones permitted. She can ask "Is he soft?" or "Does he seem nervous about being held?" or "If I put him in the bathtub, does he seem okay with that?" or "Would he like a lil grape?" or "Is he the sort of little fellow who would wear a vest in a children's book?" but not "Does he have fur," "Is he a reptile," "Is he from Asia," etc. Some questions are in a grey area so you have to follow your heart, but the point is not to identify the animal as fast as possible: the point is to guess the animal purely based on vibes + how he would act if he were in your living room right now.

And I'm not limited to yes or no answers! If she asks, "Would it feel appropriate to see this little guy in a propeller hat?" I can reply, "Oh no, he has a gravity to him. A bowler hat would be a more appropriate hat." Or if she asks, "Does this little guy have protagonist energy?" I can say something like, "he probably wouldn't be the main character in a children's cartoon. He'd probably be the main character's ditzy best friend who's always eating sandwiches, or something."

We're big Twenty Questions to kill time in a waiting room people, but Little Guy is more about the journey than the destination. It's got a different kind of sauce that's nice if "killing time" and "lowering anxiety" need to happen hand in hand.

“i’ve always had a soft spot for trouble”

and if i said their relationship is easily one of the best things added to megamind lore
