Megamente manda!

Honestly I think the show is alright. As it Picks up where Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate left off.

I honestly think that this show has great potential. While the writing is clichéd, I honestly think that they did their best while dealing with strict deadlines.

The animation is alright as it's on par with shows like Monsters v. Aliens (2013), and Penguins of Madagascar the show but not as good as say something from Madagascar: A Little Wild.

The new characters like Keiko shows symbolism and change since the first movie was shown in 2010, as both the show and movie was released

I honestly hope they'll look over the original film and get the original cast back for Season 2 and introduce some new heroes for Megamind to team up like a Native American themed hero voiced by Gil Birmingham.

I kinda just wrote a review on the movie/weird pilot that comes before this series but I have a few words for this as well. The writing is disgustingly bland and shallow, littered with butchered characterizations of returning personalities, childishly basic one-liners and puns, and extremely awful tropes and cliches. It has extremely stiff animation, which is somewhat expected from a cheaper budget, but given that this is DREAMWORKS, they could have done sooooo much better for this and other tv series. Some of the other reviewers (which might be, in all honesty, bots or paid actors) say that it is enjoyable for kids and adults alike, when the show is obviously written like its just meant to be a form of stimulant for toddlers. Which is awful in comparison to the original movie, with great action and comedy for kids and a unexpectedly well written story for adults.

This show was just weird to sit through at first, like all the humour I found was just from random clips I edited and like two jokes that got a laugh at me, specifically the taxes one in episode 1 and cake in episode 7, the main thing I was just confused by was the fact that they seem to set up a thing with Megamind in the first episode but it never actually goes anywhere aside from a few mentions of it few and far between

Megamind also had his character majorly assassinated with him being an idiot here and weirdly egotistical, it's also just weird that a lot of conflicts are caused because the heroes in this show like they can't do anything remotely competent

While this does retcon stuff from the first movie I will have to view it all as canon till it's confirmed otherwise, I'm hoping for a season 2 tbh just to see how far this downward spiral gets, also so Shaffrillas can lose his mind more.

Cheap animation, bad jokes, terrible dialogue... it's pretty clear why the voice cast didn't return. This is yet another lazy sequel/series that seems to exist purely to push content. As of now, there's 1 other review here that's glowing. Don't believe it. They've only reviewed this and the awful straight to streaming movie that dropped on the same day to set this up. Sus.

This show started auto-playing as soon as that ended, which I'll bet is going to be most of it's viewership. I wish I hadn't wasted time watching either. I know a lot of this stuff gets accused of being written by AI during the strikes, but I can see that actually happening here, with it looking so terrible because it was rushed out. Do better guys.

I have never seen the original Megamind (although I have heard great things about it), but I do not need to to recognize this is a bad show. The animation looks like Paw Patrol. There is no excuse for a show released in 2024 to look like it came out in 2009. The characters are poorly written, I doubt any effort was placed into writing them (even though I've never seen the original movie, I am 100% certain that this was not how Megamind acted in it.) Plots are terrible and execution is the same, nothing interesting is ever accomplished to spice up how bad the premises are. It's hard to believe these are the original writers of a beloved classic. I'm pretty sure the idea of Megamind discovering the internet and trying to become internet famous makes fans cry in agony. The writing is the worst part. The jokes feel AI written, and by and by and AI that has never heard a funny joke in its life. The show beats you down with cringe one liners and 2014 internet jokes with no room to breathe. It is actually shocking the amount of ways the show manages to write something stupid. It is every bad part of every cheap baby show ever wrapped into a gross mass.
