I had genuinely forgotten about the sequel until I saw this. Started wondering how I had missed that and then I remembered it was a straight to streaming cash grab. Time to go back to being blissfully ignorant.

I had never heard of the sequel until a day or two ago when the YT algorithm fed me Schaffrillas' video about it. I still haven't actually watched it, and based on that review I think I'll keep it that way.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of it and it looks awful. That’s paw-patrol level of animation right there, and it definitely sits in the uncanny valley of animation for me.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Paw Parol isn't badly done for the budget. But.. I'll give it to you, it's not full length theatrical release good.

Never heard of it. Streaming only? looks it up

Streaming only.

Don't worry you are better off thinking there isn't one

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 35 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Today I learned there's a sequel

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 32 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No! You're not.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Thanks bro

[–] hactar42@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Just like there is no Blues Brothers sequel and Terminator ended after T2.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Pacific Rim, Highlander...

[–] hactar42@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

There can be only one...well that unless we can milk more money from the franchise

[–] rwhitisissle@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 months ago

Fuck, the original Pacific Rim wasn't even good. Like, how you gonna set such a low bar and somehow slide under it with room to spare?

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

T2 is definitely the best terminator film, but you're missing out if you discount all the sequels. Dark Fate at least is pretty darn good, and it's basically a direct sequel to T2, so you don't have to watch all the films in between.

[–] AirDevil@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

To merge with another fandom, there is no Megamind sequel in Ba Sing Se 💡

[–] GlenTheFrog@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

I understood that reference 👈🎓🇺🇸

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 13 points 5 months ago (6 children)

Should I watch Megamind?

I know nothing about it except that memes indicate people like it. I'm usually on board with a DreamWorks or Pixar movie but I'd mentally sorted this one into the 'not for me' category along with Minions for some reason (not intending to compare the two).

[–] Nefara@lemmy.world 38 points 5 months ago

Yes, the first one is goofy but it did the whole "what would an actually average person do with superhero powers" shtick before it was cool, and managed to make it funny and pretty sweet too.

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 19 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yes, it's a commentary on the way that generational systematic racism and overpolicing negatively impact black youths. And also a deconstruction of incel ideology.

[–] Varven@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes the first one yes definitely just don't watch anything after the first one after the first one it's a cringe fest

[–] logging_strict@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I live for cringe!

Dead Snow I was sad.

Dead Snow II i'm still besides myself. They hit the ball out of the genre!

But if you can't appreciate (good) cringe then the point would be missed

[–] Varven@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

I'm not talking about good cringe I'm talking about bad cringe

[–] BadNewsNobody@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

IMHO....fuck yes! It's a funny and clever movie that should've gotten more recognition but was overshadowed by other releases that same year. As a grown man on the edge of 40 it's one of my favorite movies and never fails to get a laugh. Endlessly quotable, lots of clever little jokes and gags that are hilarious when you notice them.

I'd say it's absolutely worth at least one watch and if you like it enough to watch it again you'll definitely notice some things that you didn't the first time around and get a whole new set of laughs.

How DARE YOU put the sacred name of Megamind equal to those yellow turds.

[–] Kacarott@feddit.de 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, the first despicable me was decent imo. But the abominations which followed...

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I agree with you. Now it feels like they're based their entire studio's identity on those yellow turd and milking it to the bone.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

The whole idea was to make money the whole time!!!

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

It's surprisingly funny with a lot of absurdist humor, there's a lot to like, but also not every film is for everyone.

[–] gari_9812@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Jokes aside, the original quote really hits different nowadays, and I'm not even British 😅

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

"Nut Job" is the same. Watched 5 minutes, then vowed to never tell the children about it.

Edit: I mean the sequel.

[–] Varven@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I forgot about this movie

[–] WinterBear@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Damn this ruined my whole day

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

"It's just a prank bro!"

[–] Varven@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

The prank

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Even if I don't like the second movie, I do like the theme song for the TV show made for the movie. Really recommend listening to it.
